She also prohibited nanny Shu from working outside, as it hurt her pride and made her guilty.Two weeks went by and everything was suspiciously calm.

Nanny Shu returned after another hour and the scene welcomed her was of Jina lying in the hall over a file and some photographs. Nanny Shu’s heart skipped a beat on seeing that and she hurriedly went to check on her. Only when she realized that Jina was just sleeping, her breathing came back to normal.“Jina…wake up Jina. Why are you sleeping here, my girl?” Nanny Shu patted Jina slowly and waked her up.When Jina recognized nanny Shu’s voice, she stood up and hugged nanny Shu with all her strength. She then examined nanny Shu all over and hugged her again saying, “You are all right! Thank God you are alright. You aren’t hurt anywhere, are you nanny Shu?”Nanny Shu was stunned to hear that question. “Why would I be hurt? I just went for a walk outside. What are you imagining girl?” Nanny Shu said a lie, as she had gone to look for jobs in reality.“So you never met Chan? Or Leo? You never saw any of them or their men?” Jina asked to reaffirm everything.“No, I didn’t see anyone of the

Though it was early morning by now, there was not enough light in the road. Jina was walking with her luggage aiming for the train station all alone. It was then she noticed a black car following her. It was a black car that followed her before too. She thought about running for her life at first. Then she decided not to. Instead, she stopped for a moment and walked back to the car, which had also stopped moving when Jina stopped walking. This has to end now itself. She don't want to run away again afraid.Thinking like that Jina went to knock on the driver's wind shield, with all her courage. But it was the back seat door that got opened and Chan got down from the car. Jina was startled to see him now."So it was you, who was following me around? Why am I not surprised?"

Then he replied, " I already told you this, that I never had anything to do with you before yesterday night. But I wil

Jina went on discovering the new house and decided to take an empty room in the ground floor itself. The house had a large courtyard and garden which were well managed. The backyard consisted of a greenhouse and a warehouse. There was also a gate that opened to a walkway, which seemed to lead long. The house was fully equipped with everything; even the kitchen cabinets and refrigerator were filled with newly brought items. The guards were stationed in the front and back, two each and there was an office arranged for them, adjacent to the house where there were two monitoring everything. Jina found that the office also held lodgings for the guards. The tight security was very suspicious. Jina wondered if it was to prevent her from escaping or was there something else? Jina waited for a whole day in that house alone. Nanny Shu called her many times and eventually she changed her phone number to a new one, which the guards had provided. The chief of them was called Tim Tim and Jina fou

Now Jina had no other option but to follow Shen Shaw inside.In Shen Shaw’s office, he poured her some tea and asked, “Where have you been? It’s been over a month since you left. How did you manage until now? Where are you staying?”Jina felt suffocated on hearing the questions and the unfamiliar concern out of Shen Shaw. She said, “I am fine. Everything is going well too.” She decided not to say about Chan, as it will only lead to many more questions.“Then, do you need any help? I will give you some money. How about that?” Shen Shaw tried to offer some help.“No need uncle Shaw. I can manage myself. If nothing else, I will leave.” Jina said.“But there must be a reason you came here. You can tell me anything. I will help you in any way I can.” Shen Shaw was not ready to let Jina go like that.“I didn’t come here for anything. I was just passing by

Chan was also startled to have bumped into Jina like that. He held Jina and looked at her flustered face. He could identify that something was definitely wrong.“What’s wrong? Did anyone tell you anything? What happened?” Chan asked.Jina was more nervous to be close to Chan. So she shook him off and took two steps back. She nodded her head in denial and ran outside. Chan was surprised with Jina’s behavior but before he could go after her, Mr. P came to him to remind him of the next meeting. Chan hesitantly went with Mr. P.Jina quickly took a cab and went home. She first thought about escaping from Chan’s hold but then changed her plans. She decided to search the house to get any clues about her parents.

Chan was slightly relieved at the change in the knife’s position and he walked towards Jina slowly.“Tell me, why did you sell me to Neil? What’s your benefit in this? What are you trying to get through me?” Jina questioned.“What are you saying? Why would I sell you? Am I crazy to sell my own wife? And, what do you think of me? A Pimp?” Chan was getting angry on hearing Jina’s nonsense.“Then why did you marry me to Neil? And from when you were in contact with Neil? Aren’t you all working together? What wrong did I do to you? What did my family do to you? Why are you treating us like this? What the hell do you want with me?” Jina asked again while moving backwards as Chan was trying to get close to her.Chan could feel the change in Jina’s tone. From threatening and anger it had changed into despair. He worried if Jina would hurt herself, so he increased his pace slightly.But that backfired.
