As far as I recall, he was a total àss. When did he agree to free you from his cage?" Jasmine's face turned yellow. She had no reply. "Her real name is Jasmine, Lila." Kyle stepped in. "And her husband is not a problem. She's single to marry me.""Jasmine? Nice name. Jessica wasn't any bad but I can understand. You were in a stranger's house and you gave the wrong name. I hope your story wasn't fabricated as well." Lila joked but Kyle and Falcon caught the jab it was meant to give. "Haha, I hope it's not. Lila, Kyle wanted you to meet the doctor. I'll take you to one." Falcon put an arm around Lila's shoulders. "Doctor? But I'm fine. It's him who got stabbed.""But it's you who spent a night in a dark warehouse with goons all around. Kyle wants you to see a therapist. Come on." Falcon didn't let her argue with him and dr
145Jojo led Jasmine to the floor beneath and pulled her in a corridor. He didn't know where they were going. He just wanted to keep Jasmine safe and unseen by her husband. Jasmine, on the contrary, was numb.All she saw was Vince's face and the darkness that he hid beneath that semi-handsome face. She was absentminded walking, letting Jojo guide her by her hand."This place looks safe. I hope we can hide here till he leaves." Jojo's mutter made Jasmine blink out of her shock.She looked around and observed that they were in some kind of storage room. There was a strong smell of floor cleaner in the air, mops and buckets etc. This wasn't a janitor's room, but a bigger room with cleaning material and some broken beds and stuff around.The room was in semi-darkness. A window was covered with dirty curtains. Jojo went over there and removed the curtains."Hey, I can see the road from here. Maybe we can wait here and see your husband walk out." Jasmine didn't move from her spot by the clo
144Fiona bit her lip as she stood in a corner in the elevator, thinking back about Jasmine's gasping on the phone call. She was berating herself for making the call. Not that she had to guess, but she was certain Jasmine must be on her way to the hospital to meet Kyle.Although it freaked her out, she had to let Kyle know. Because according to Kyle's plans, Jasmine was not supposed to leave the house at all. Not until her husband was made to sign the divorce and other papers. She was still bound to him and he didn't want her to fall in his hands by any chance.Fiona came to the floor where Kyle was kept. As anticipated, the entire floor was booked for him. Guards stood in line around the corridor, and two stations outside his ward.She wasn't being allowed to meet Kyle. Only his doctors and approved nurses were let in, the guards said. But after proving her friendship with Kyle Fiona advanced
143"Spill it out." Kyle demanded and Falcon recounted their conversation, sharing how Lila was worried about herself and how Falcon was worried for Kyle's safety. "I know what I said was wrong but I was looking after you. My focus was your safety and I hurt Lila.""You're an idiot, Falcon. You should frown in a handful of water." Kyle said grimly as he tried to leave the bed."Bro, you need rest. The doctors said the stab was deep.""Shut up!" Kyle howled. "Lila is already hurt by my actions and instead of handling things on my behalf, you made it more difficult."Kyle managed to stand up though he hissed in pain when the first bout of pressure came onto his belly from standing up on his feet without support. "Arghhh!" Kyle winced because the wound was still very fresh. The pain was harrowing every inch of his torso. He sat on the edge of the bed as he closed his eyes to contain the pain. After a moment of feeling dizzy, he let Falcon help him recline back in bed and closed his eye
142At the hospital,Lila was sitting like a statue on a bench outside the Operation Theater. Her clothes were stained from Kyle's blood, her face devoid of color and her heart barely beating.When Kyle had collapsed, the bunch of goons ran away. Someone shouted at the one who stabbed Kyle and they took off, leaving Lila alone with a bleeding Kyle. She screamed at them to help but no one looked back at her, afraid of the consequences.Lila had no choice but to run out of the warehouse to seek Falcon's help. She was certain he was out there. Kyle and Falcon were like Harry and Ron. Both always together, doing the illegal stuff quietly but with each other always.Falcon was stunned to see her and the blood made his eyes go wide. He carried Kyle to the car and drove him to hospital three hours ago.Right now they both were waiting with bated breaths. The doctors said Kyle had a lot of blood loss. Luckily his blood group was available in the blood bank and they were performing the surgery
141"Where are you going?" Falcon emerged from his reverie with a jerk."Kyle," He grabbed Kyle's arm, who had almost stepped out of his room."Let me go, Falcon. I have to save Lila.""I want to save her too but didn't you notice something?" Falcon's forehead creased."How could you notice anything besides Lila's cries, Falcon! She's in danger. I must save her." Kyle tried to get out his grasp.Falcon tightened his hold as he snapped, "Don't act on impulse, Kyle. This could be a trap.""How can this be a trap, Falcon? We heard Lila's voice and we've got the address.""Exactly. We got the address of the place they kept her. Don't you think that was fast?" Falcon still didn't let go.Kyle hissed, "What are you trying to imply, Fa
