Hello guys, thank you so much for reading my books. I am forever thankful for your support. I am posting three chapters today. There will not be any update tomorrow. Happy reading.
The next morning in the seven-star hotel where Mike was left to rest, the said man is frowning with frustration. He woke up quite early that morning only to find out that the meeting was canceled and would be rescheduled for today and his boss and Ida accepted the invitation of their host to join him in his guest house as an apology. But that's not the problem. Mike was trying to contact his boss and Ida for the last one hour without much success. "Why can't I reach them? I think the mobile reception in that area might be less. I should wait for them to contact me. They will contact me as soon as they reach an area with good mobile reception. In the meantime I should contact the Watson group about the time of the rescheduled meeting" he told himself and relaxed. He walked out of his room with long purposeful strides to the Watson group head office to reschedule the meeting.In the Guest house, Ida woke up slowly. First, she heard the chirping of the birds outside, followed by the bre
Leo closed the trunk of their rental car after keeping their luggage inside. He folded inside the car and looked at Ida who looked sad and lost. Initially, he wanted to hide it from her to protect her. But he knows that it is not fair for her. He couldn't keep it from her. He knows she is a smart and mature girl. He is sure that she will make a good decision. "You ok?" he asked her softly. She nodded stiffly but otherwise didn't say a word. He sighed and started the car before driving away from the guest house. The route they are traveling in is a dirt road. On one side it is a steep rocky ridge while on the other side, it's a forest area with tall trees with thick foliage. When Leo had to take and steep right, he pressed on the brakes to slow down, only to realize that the brakes were not working. He had to act fast before their car went down the rocky pathway. He pressed on the brakes again and again with no avail. He knows he cannot take the turn at the speed they are in. But he
Their car caught fire. When Leo noticed it, he became anxious. "Ida, wake up" he tried again. To his relief, slowly she opened her eyes. She looked disoriented for a moment before her eyes turned wide. She looked at the smoke and the fire."Thank god. Now let's get you out of here" he said. He tried to unbuckle her belt again. He tugged the belt hard. They both noticed how quickly the intensity of the fire increased. If the fire touches the Petrol tank, the car will blow up into pieces.Ida started panicking. She doesn't want to die so young. But she is stuck. Leo tried to pull the seat belt from over her head, but the belt is stuck so tightly, that's it's not giving her any space to squeeze out from.The fire started speeding from the engine and the door on her side caught fire too. She could feel the heat spreading inside the car. But she is stuck with no way out.Her panicked gaze caught her boss, who was trying everything he could to pull her out. He looked composed, but she kne
"I am fine, I think" she responded truthfully.They both are quiet for a moment. With their injuries, neither of them can climb this mountain to reach the dirt road. Their mobile and belongings were also burned along with that car. They have to wait for someone to come and help them. "Why did you save me? Why did you risk your life for me? You should have left me. What would have happened if that car got burned just a few minutes earlier?" she asked softly. Her body is hurting and she is feeling faint. Her mind is not working clearly. That must be the reason why she is speaking like this with her boss. Or it must be a near-death experience. whatever it is, she asked for his reasons that made him risk his own safety for her.Leo is quiet. He is looking at the burning car. The fire is so intense, that he is sure nothing will be left behind. Only the car's skeleton will be left. What Ida asked is a valid point. He doesn't know why he saved her. He is not the kind of man who would ignore
As the smoke was detected before the car caught up in flames, someone informed the cops and an ambulance. Usually, it's not uncommon to detect smoke in the woods. And most of the time it is not something to worry about. But there have been a few instances where people needed rescuing as they lost their way in the woods when their trekking experience went wrong. They lit fire to catch the attention of the officials for help. So whenever the smoke is detected, the Cops and the ENTs will be informed together. In some rare cases, the fire department will be intervened.So by the time Leo carried Ida to the dirt road, he heard the sounds of sirens before he saw the vehicles. He sagged with relief.After three hours, both Leo and Ida were admitted to the hospital and were treated by a doctor. Leo was diagnosed with one broken rib Ida had a head injury and she inhaled too much smoke. Because of the smoke, oxygen levels in her body were reduced and she fainted. She has yet to regain her consc
In the hospital, Ida slowly came to her senses. She opened her eyes and looked around the room with a frown. She is alone in the room and an IV is attached to her hand. All she remembered was the accident and the pain that followed after. She also remembered how her boss carried her in his arms. She turned red when she remembered that part. He is a sweet and caring man. Slowly she sat up and leaned back a little onto the pillow.That's when the door opened from outside and her boss strode inside the room oozing authority. It looked like he was on a call with someone. Because he pulled his mobile from his ear when he entered inside. The moment his gaze landed on her, his eyes softened and he rushed to her side. "Ida, how are you feeling now?" he asked worriedly. He tucked her hair behind her ear and cupped her face with his palms. "I am fine, President Hamilton. How are you feeling?" she asked softly.Their proximity looks too intimate. She is worried that if someone walks in on th
Ida was so tired and feeling weak after everything that happened that day. She found out that her father is alive but he doesn't want her. Then that terrible accident where she thought she would die. But thanks to her boss, he saved her. And now she is back home. Her boss offered to stay with her when Mike was not listening, but she refused. If she continues this with her boss, things will surely blow up in her face one day. Which she doesn't want. She collapsed on her couch and immediately regretted that move. Her head started hurting again which made her wince. She swallowed the pain pills the doctor gave her and sighed with relief. She is ready to sleep. "Buzz" She heard the buzzing of her doorbell. She sighed heavily."It must be the boss or Mike. What did they forget now?" she murmured before opening the door. But she is shocked to see Kevin standing outside the door. Immediately she tried to close the door on his face. But he pushed the door open with force."What do you wan
"What the fuck are you doing here Kevin? Are you trying to choke her to death?"Leo is fuming with anger. After he dropped Ida near her apartment, he didn't want to leave her alone. Especially after their accident. But he couldn't say anything because Mike was with them. He doesn't want to tarnish her reputation because he is getting addicted to her. So he kept quiet. But he slipped her mobile into his pocket before she left. He needed a reason to come back and her mobile would serve the purpose. But he was not expecting to find her pushed into a wall and being manhandled by his asshole nephew.Kevin is pale and is all but shaking with fear. He never thought that his uncle would come here at this time of the day. He had to think fast before his uncle killed him. That's when a vile plan came to his mind. "U..uncle, I didn't do anything. It's her, she called me. She was my Ex. I used to date her before I started seeing Claire. She called me and cried saying that she met with an acciden
