It is going to be a long night. All were curious and eager to know about Lauren’s next step. What was she going to do? How is she going to find the real culprit out of them?

21st Century New York As the evening passed by, more people showed up at the venue. The fancy lights only made it look more breathtaking. The necks of women glowed with shiny diamonds. Expensive gowns hugged their bodies like a second skin. Lauren observed the scene with utmost distaste and would give a fake smile to those who pass by her side. Alex was standing a foot away, observing her like a hawk. His eyes scanned the surroundings and, suddenly his body thrummed with cold when noticed a series of armed bodyguards camouflaged in the background. He frowned upon the tight security. His father must be going through a rough phase to go over such measures. He thought absentmindedly and scrutinized a particular direction when caught a suspicious movement behind one of the pillars. His body screamed when he saw a shadow disappearing into the kitchen area, pulling a heavy waste bin behind them. Why will someone carry a filled bin in the kitchen area? Before he could inspect the situati

You feel stuck and slowly start to realize how the reins of your life are in someone else’s hands. That you’ve become a puppet to dance on someone else’s desire and had no control over your own life or actions. You conclude that you’ve stopped living for yourself a long ago and enjoying the things that once made you smile.

Fear An emotion that rests in our conscious mind all the time but only acts when the darkness is perceived instead of the light at the end of the tunnel. It comes forward when the walls start to close and the dreams that once were fabricated with hope- shatters. It thrives in the heart that loses faith. It fills the lungs that no more desire to breathe and shows the sign of surrender. It glides on the spines that are hesitant to collide with the storms. It gawks through the eyes that have seen horrors of doomsday. It freezes the courage when the thought of losing too much looms over the head, when the flash of those faces, around which your world revolves, appears on the dark side. The two women resting on the stiff benches of the renowned hospital were going through those terrors. Their eyes didn’t stop tearing since the moment they were called about the dreadful news.
