Prologue
Huling Na-update:
2021-08-08 14:02:29She ran as fast as her feet could carry her.
She was on the docks, the dark oily sea lapping against the steel pilings on one side while the abandoned warehouses with their broken, mangled structures lined the other end of the wharf. They looked like rickety monsters, with their glass eyes shot out, sporting a toothless hollow grin, dwarfing her.
Her red, ornately embellished wedding dress, slowing her down. Her red dupatta (stole paired on an Indian dress) sweeping the ground, wet and heavy with the slick and rust. With her service Glock 17 handgun, cradled in her sweaty hands, she was quite a sight to look at.
She looked around for a sign. Her trained eyes scanned every nook and cranny. She saw a scrap metal plate lying broken and bent by the side of one of the warehouses. With swift strides, she walked up to it and used its sharp edge to cut the lower half of her dress unevenly. The hem now hung just above her knees.
She was relieved with the freedom of movement it now gave her. Thank God, she had chosen Bellies. At least her feet weren’t protesting. Ditching her stole, she walked towards the shadows between the warehouses and the piles of shipping containers.
She knew that they had to be here. This was where everything had led her. She was sure her calculations were correct. She couldn’t go wrong. Not now, when lives were at stake. Lives of people she loved. She knew the kidnappers. They were dangerous assholes who would stop at nothing.
She thought about all the conflicts that she had faced with the love of her life. Many times breaking up and coming together again, until she couldn’t take the agony of separation anymore and chose to commit to a lifetime of togetherness.
Just as they were about to get married, he got kidnapped. Along with their friends! This couldn’t be happening. She couldn’t lose them. Her entire life flashed in front of her eyes.
The shadows were getting darker. The sun was setting out over the Arabian sea and she had to be quick.
As she went around the corner of a shipping container, a sudden forceful punch landed on her belly knocking the wind out of her. She gasped for breath. Before she could take any action, within the next instant, another blow landed on her jaw. She slumped with the impact.
She was losing consciousness as the gun was being pulled out of her hands.
Someone snorted. “We hit the jackpot. The bitch is here in a sexy avatar. Let’s show her where she belongs.”
Men guffawed.
No… no… no… this can’t be! Please don’t let me faint God! Not now, please… she fell into darkness and oblivion.

The Red Dragon's Lair Vacation Plans
Anya She looked at her phone as Andy disconnected, promising her to call back. It was past midnight and he would be reaching sometime in the morning. She might as well sleep. But she was super charged. She looked at their bedroom. It looked empty without Andy. It wasn’t like she hadn’t stayed here alone before, neither was it like Andy had never stayed away. He had been away for a month before this. Yet, knowing how far away he was made it all the more difficult for her. She missed her boyish boyfriend. She tapped at the back of her head, “No silly! Your fiance!” She said aloud to herself and beamed. She repeated the word fiance, letting her lips purse as the word rolled off her tongue. It sounded scary, scarier than the bullet that almost hit her today. But it was happy and scary, she loved the apprehension. She couldn’t believe that after being alone for a lifetime, she was blessed with such a loving partner who understood her work and the uncertainties that came with it. Ex
The Red Dragon's Lair The Doha Surprise
Andy He stepped into the flight and was welcomed by a pair of smiling air-hostesses in their beautiful deep red, almost purple outfits. One of them held out her hand for his pass, inspected it to find his seat and escorted him inside. She asked for his baseball jacket, reached up on her toes and tucked it away in the rack. Andy could not help but notice how toned her body was. “My name is Aisha. Happy to have you on board. Enjoy your flight, Sir!”, she said as she caught his stare. Are they trained to make you feel welcome and maybe a little extra comfortable, or was Aisha flirting with him? He brushed the amusing thought away as she went away to serve the others. Andy sighed seeing the single seat with the purple and cream upholstery lining the window. It was early in the morning and it was still dark outside. The previous night he had been up packing and watching his sexy fiance sleep. He hated being away from her for so long. Especially because of her crazy, risky assignments.
The Red Dragon's Lair Engaged
Anya (two days back) She had returned earlier than expected. Opening the door to Andy’s house with her spare key, she entered the living room and made a beeline for the kitchen. Andy would have left her favourite chai, the sweet tea latte in the flask. She loved how thoughtful he was. Regardless of the stress he was dealing with, he would always be mindful of her needs! Over the last few months his playfulness had consistently reduced due to the increasing pressures of his work life but he had not allowed that to affect his time spent with her. She poured herself the chai and curled up on the couch in the living ro
The Red Dragon's Lair Flying High
Andy Andy sat in his corner office on the top floor. The office had a view to die for. He had just returned from Ahmedabad where his company had sent him for a month-long executive leadership program at the Indian Institute of Management, the IIM, the top management institute of the country. He looked out of the glass walls at the distant Mula Mutha river snaking through the city in a steady stream. He was now a member of the Royal Connaught Boat Club too. The top of its majestic building was just about visible from his Southern window. He looked forward to the weekend with his boating buddies. It was good to be back. Lately, his team was giving him some trouble and he could feel the resentment affecting their work
The Red Dragon's Lair Suicide Case
After the movie, they went to bed in each other's arms. Anya woke up in the morning with her back resting comfortably against Andy’s athletic body.Something hard poking against her butt made her heart skip a beat as Andy caressed the side of her face. He let his hands move to her naked shoulder where her loose T-shirt had fallen off-shoulder exposing her smooth wheatish skin.He left soft feathery kisses at the nape of her neck gradually working his way up until he reached the back of her ear. She was waking up with a burning desire between her legs. She moaned and turned around to meet his lips with her own.Thanks to Andy her nightmares had finally reduced. It had been a night of peaceful sleep cradled in the arms of her lover. She wasn’t sure if she felt guilty about forgetting her brother but
The Red Dragon's Lair A Quiet Monsoon Evening
Dane wanted Jenny to meet his family. They settled the bill and a chirping, chortling Jenny left with Dane. She was a little high. The couple's happiness was addictive as Anya looked forward to getting some free time with Andy. Mia wanted to go for bike ride and poor Raj acceded to going back to his flat in the city. Everyone could see how smitten he was with Mia. Anya had a sense that he wasn’t really planning to let Mia off the hook that easily. She would need to run him through the system. After all Mia was her friend now. Anya and Andy decided to spend the rest of the evening together. The only place Anya wanted to be after such an exciting day was in Andy’s arms, relaxing at his house, in the TV room. His house felt more like hers now. They put up a Boll
