But despite the uncertainty that lay ahead, Karina knew that she couldn't afford to give up. Nathan's life depended on her, and she would do whatever it took to save him, even if it meant facing the darkness head-on and risking everything she held dear.“What’s the request about? Why are you so stubborn regarding this?” He questioned her. Karina took a deep breath, gathering all her strength and courage. “I think you would have already heard about the event involving SMith’s family, which happened on the occasion of Mr. SMith’s birthday. Your grandson has reached there and behaved in an arrogant way,” she continued to say that and took pause. She doesn’t know how to say what exactly happened there. She is hell-scared to talk about it and the place itself is giving her scary vibes.“So what happened if he came there? What is your request about, and why are you mentioning that event?” He questions her coldly.Karina knows she already entered the tiger’s den and there is no way that she
“You said you would do anything, but now you are thinking of stepping back?” He questioned her with one eyebrow raised and looked at her sharply. She felt a lump on her throat and her tongue was tied. Even though she wants to say that he would still say the same, she can’t bring herself to talk with him. He raised his hand to touch her face and she titled it away, saying, “Sir, please maintain your respect. I am here to place a request and this is not the way to behave,” she said.“Hmm,” he hummed in response with a smirk and said, “you are here to place a request and you also said that you would accept any of my conditions and would do anything as per my conditions. Now you are taking a step back?” He sneered at her.“But this is not the way, sir. This is what I didn’t expect from you. If you are like this, there is no way that we can expect something else from YouTube. He would obviously have your genes and would do the same as you. If the base wasn’t good, then how can we expect th
“This is my den and I will behave however I want. I don’t need anyone’s permission to do something like this or that. I don’t need to answer anyone. If you want to place your request, then wait, or else you can leave,” he said, implying that nothing would happen if she turned her back now.“Ok, I will,” Karina said with a low voice. He smirked at her and said, “Ok, as you wish.”Just then, they heard footsteps approaching the room. “Grandpa, what are you doing?” they heard the voice. And when Karina listened to his voice, a shiver ran down her spine.“Oh, you are here. Someone is here for you. Come in and have a look,” he answered, standing in front of Karina. When she heard what he said, she looked at him with her eyes wide open. When he saw her looks, he smirked, saying,“Oh, you are more scared for my grandson than me? It's a pity that I couldn't scare you. Anyway, he is also my blood so I'm proud that he made you scared in a way that his presence around you can make you shiver. Hm
But before she could gather her thoughts, the scarred man advanced towards her again, his presence overwhelming her. With a sinking feeling, she realized that she was completely at their mercy, trapped in their den with no way out.With his looming dominance, she quivered and slid to the floor. He stood in front of her like the devil and even though she is a good-height person, now she is looking like a petite girl.“I don’t think you don’t need to work hard on her. Your mere presence can make her bow in front of you. I am proud of you, my boy. You have really shown the complete new meaning of fear. Other people would easily get scared by our presence, but being a girl who is strong like her and who is no less than a lioness has succumbed to your presence,” his grandfather complemented him. After listening to his words, Karina was stunned, wondering which grandmother on earth would say this.“If everyone had a grandfather like you, then this country would be filled with criminals and
But Karina refused to back down, her resolve burning bright within her. Despite finding herself imprisoned in their den, Karina refused to succumb to the situation. Her determination to ensure Nathan's safety was unwavering, regardless of the consequences.“Hmm, good. Now let’s see what happens. I already got the news that they got him and I am just waiting for my order to shoot him. I am waiting for you to come back to your senses so you will know about him being killed with your ears. ? You deserve to listen to the gunshot of your deaf band,” he said, grabbing his mobile out of his pocket.Larina was struggling to release herself from the chair so she could do something and stop him; however, she failed to do so, which brought a smirk to his face and dragged him into laughter mode.“Oh no! You want to be free from the clutches, right? What would you do if I let you go? Can you, in reality, stop me?” He provoked her and her thoughts. He too knows something might happen and that’s the
“What was that? And what do you want me to do? Do you need any projects from my company, or do you need money from Nathan? He doesn't have anything, and don’t think about him giving you ransom money,” Karina explained.“Hahahaahhaha!” Hearing her words, he burst out laughing. As she watched him laugh uncontrollably, she turned to him, attempting to deduce the source of his laughter and contemplate the joke she had just uttered.“Why are you laughing like that? I didn’t crack any jokes,” she said, annoyed with his behavior. She is now pondering how to get him to stop. “Then what are you saying? What am I expecting? A project or a budget? Do you even have any idea how much money I hold in my name? I can buy the whole city, including yours and Smith’s company too, without even moving my finger. That much money I have and what will I do with the money?” He inquired and spoke about him with a proud smile.“Then what do you want, and why are you doing this?” She questioned him.“Strip yours
And as the weight of her choices bore down upon her, Karina felt herself slip further into the abyss, her sense of self-worth shattered beyond repair. In that moment of utter despair, she could only cling to the fragile hope that somehow, someway, she would find a way to save Nathan from his fate.Yet, she manages to open her second button. “Good, then I slid down and opened the third button. Quick, I can’t wait to see what’s there behind this layer of cloth,” he urged her to open the shuurt quickly.“Don't you have any heart and can't you feel any regret?” she asked him in a disgusting tone with a broken voice. “Ah, no. We don’t have any soft or kind hearts. I don’t feel any kind of remorse or resilience. We are kind of people; when I have an eye over someone or something, I must do it or get it at any cost. So, now stop talking and continue. Now do it quickly,” he said with a cold tone. Hearing those words, Karina felt it’s no use trying to explain him or trying to resist herself fr
Together, they navigated through the labyrinthine corridors of the den, their footsteps echoing in the dimly lit hallways as they made their escape. And as they emerged into the cool night air, Nathan knew that their fight was far from over, but with Karina safe in their arms, they would face whatever challenges lay ahead with unwavering courage and determination.After coming out of there, Alex walked towards his car, followed by Nathan and Alice. Karina was still in an unconscious state, so Nathan carried her towards the car. “Get into the car; she needs treatment now,” Alex said, not particularly to anyone but to everyone. While Alice climbed into the passenger seat, Nathan climbed into the back seat of the car with Karina in his hands. Alex is enraged to see Nagthan carrying Karina in his arms but he can’t say anything as he also knows they are not legally divorced. Controlling his anger and keeping his emotions at bay, he entered the car, and the car started the next minute. The
