Third Person POV

“I am sorry, child.” The words echoed in her ears. White lights. A hospital room. A new face. A new identity. They swirled before her eyes like fragments of a broken reel.

The world slipped away, leaving her numb and hollow.

“Sanjana—!” She jerked violently.

“Samantha! Wake up!” Her eyes flew open as hands gripped her shoulders. Harsh white light replaced the ceiling she had been staring at. Her chest heaved as she gasped for air.

“You were screaming,” Hannah said, fear etched

  • - Familiar Stranger   Chapter 67 The Echoes of the past

    Kabir pov I was fast asleep when the loud ringing of my mobile jolted me awake. For a moment, I wondered who could be calling me at this hour. When the phone rang again, I suddenly remembered that I was supposed to accompany Liam on his trip. And the person calling me could only be him. The thought sent a fresh wave of energy through me. All traces of sleep vanished instantly. I sprang out of bed and grabbed my phone with lightning speed. “Hello?” I answered, my voice still groggy from sleep. “Get up, sleepyhead! Is this how you’re going to help me? By sleeping?” Liam’s voice rang out from the other end. “Don’t worry. I’ll be ready in no time. I didn’t even realise when I fell asleep.” I switched on the speaker and hurried to get ready, fastening my watch and slipping into my shoes. The last thing I wanted was to keep Liam waiting. After booking a cab, I headed downstairs. Within minutes, I was on my way to the airport. Liam was waiting for me at the entrance. After ex

  • - Familiar Stranger   Chapter 66 An unsettling feeling

    Kabir pov “ Kabir are you listening? If both of us will go who will look after the company affairs here? " He asked. " I know that but the situation here can be managed from there, but the situation in London can’t be. For handling the affairs, you need a trusted person with you. Also the strike is getting worse and in such a situation I can't leave you alone. I am coming with you and that is the end of the discussion. " I said everything in a single breath. My breath was ragged. I picked up the glass and took a sip. " Kabir. I still don't understand why you are so adamant. Mom's security team is accompanying me and James and his security are there. There is nothing to worry about; I will handle it. Is it that you don't trust me with the situation?"“ How can you speak like that? Why won’t I trust you? I just don’t trust the situation.”“Then what is the problem?” He asked.“The problem is that everything is becoming unpredictable. The union leader has already rejected the m

  • - Familiar Stranger   Chapter 65 A difficult desicion

    Kabir Pov“How the hell am I supposed to convince Liam? He will never agree. Moreover, there is so much work to look after.” My heart and mind were in a dilemma. I rested my head in my palms. I couldn’t offend Mrs Turner, but the company’s work was important as well. I wanted to pull my hair out. “Oh God, you have put me in such a difficult situation.” Making a decision has become my worst nightmare. It felt as though I was standing at a crossroads, unable to decide which way to go. I sat there for a long time, thinking about what I should do. Finally, I made my decision. “Hello, Nancy,” I called my assistant.“Sir, I’m working on it. There’s still some time left.” She answered. “I haven’t called you about that. I just wanted to tell you to make arrangements for me as well. I’m accompanying him to London.” After giving her the necessary instructions, I rested my head against the back of the chair and closed my eyes. The emotional stress was draining me. Why was

    Liam pov “Since you’re not leaving immediately, why don’t you and I go out for dinner? I mean, we could make it a date.” Rose came closer and linked her arm with mine.“Have you always been like this? Snobbish, selfish, rude? I mean, do you even realise the state of my mind? I’m bloody tense and worried about the strike in London. I need to travel for eight to ten hours before I even reach there, and instead of supporting me, you want me to go out for dinner.” I literally shouted at her.I was getting fed up with her tantrums. She only thought about herself. She was selfish. Sometimes, I wondered if Kabir was right about Rose.“I’m sorry. I only wanted to lighten your mood.” Her voice was hoarse, and tears gathered in her eyes. Seeing her like this made me feel guilty. I had lashed out at her unnecessarily. “Rose, please try to understand. I’m very tense. I want to go home, rest for a bit, and then travel to London as soon as possible.” I placed my palms on her shoulders a

    Liam Pov “Mom, are you there?” I removed the phone from my ear and checked whether the call had disconnected. “I’ll lend you my plane. But on one condition, I want you to take someone from my security team with you.” Finally, she spoke. “Absolutely not,” I replied instantly. “Liam, this situation isn’t normal. The workers don’t trust your own management, and you’ve told me the union leader has threatened to escalate the strike. I won’t have you walking into a situation like that alone.” Her motherly instincts had surfaced. “And one more thing. You will call me the moment you reach London and return as soon as your work is finished. Promise me you won’t get yourself involved in any kind of feud.” Her breathing was slightly ragged from speaking so continuously. .“Mom, I’ll try.” My answer was short. I was trying to end the conversation. “Liam, your wedding is around the corner. I won’t let you go until you promise.” Her voice was strained. I sighed. “Okay

  • - Familiar Stranger   Chapter 62 The call

    Liam pov I picked up my mobile. A notification appeared on it, which caught my attention. I opened it. It was from James. Sir, the strike has escalated. The Union leader had threatened that if you don't come, then they will take the strike to the next level. I reread the lines, but nothing changed. A frown made its way. I slammed my fist on the table. Rose immediately straightened. Her brow creased. " What happened, Liam? I have never seen you so furious. ” She asked in a meek voice. “Nothing that needs your attention. I have to go,” I said and didn’t wait for her reply. I quickly stormed out of the room. “Kabir, did you book the tickets?” I barged into the room. It was unlike of me to behave this way, but the situation demanded my immediate attention. “All the flights are full for today. The earliest available ticket is tomorrow morning.” He lifted his gaze from the screen and looked at me. “Are you sure?” I pulled out the chair and sat down opposite
