Chapter 2

The golden rays of the sun decayed the darkness around the world. The morning songs of the little birds were dimmed by the roaring sounds of the ocean waves. The wind was moist, but the weather was cheery. The sun-bathed sand grains were getting cold from the waves of the sea, a continuous suffering of thirst and calm.

The morning around this beautiful cabin was more pleasant than the ravishing night. It was a wooden cabin made by the shores of the sea. The pillars held the cabin up from the ground, and there were stairs to go up to the front door. As you climbed the stairs and entered inside, the first thing you saw was an aesthetic sitting area and a little library. The cabin had two rooms, a beautiful kitchen, and a little storeroom. The prominent thing around this place was dark woodwork and white curtains. The white curtains were flying due to the wind coming from the open windows.

As you crossed the sitting area, the doors of the two rooms were closed. One of the rooms was empty and silent, signifying that no one was present inside it. The empty bed, a dressing table, and a closet were the only pieces of furniture in the room. The windows were closed, and the lights were turned off.

Being bored by that, when you entered the other room, it was filled with a pleasant scent. The sweet scent of a woman's perfume mingled with the intoxicating scent of a man. A man was sleeping peacefully wrapped in a blanket. His arm covered his eyes and half of his face. On the other hand, the woman was sitting on the bed.

Her name is Lucy Griffin. Lucy is staring at the man sleeping beside her. He looks so peaceful. A smile crept up on her beautiful lips. Lucy is the definition of beauty. Lucy's face shines bright like the glow of gold. Her eyes are deeper than the sea. A thought of the last night crossed her head. A beautiful blush crept up on her cheeks, enhancing the natural glow on her face. The dark brown curly hair was done in a bun. She is wearing a white shirt that doesn't seem her fit. But the piece of clothing belongs to this handsome man.

The man shifted in his sleep. He turned his face towards the bed, and his back on the woman. She shifted towards him and started drawing some unknown patterns on his back.

"Dark, Dark..." She whispered in his ear.

"mhm..." He murmured.

"Dark, wake up. We are getting late." Lucy whispered. She placed her lips on his back.

"hmm..." He again muttered.

"Dark, we have to leave. I am waiting for you to wake up so we can go back. We have a flight in two hours." Her voice was very soft. He turned around and wrapped his arms around the woman's body. A smile came upon his face.

"Good Morning, my love!" He placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Good Morning to you too." She said. Her head rested upon his chest. They both remained like this for a few moments.

"We have to get ready and leave..." She again said.

"Okay, come on let's go take a shower." He suggested. She nodded her head.

"Dark, are you sure about this?" She asked him.

"Lucy, do you trust me?" He asked.

"I trust you with my life," Lucy said without any doubt.

"So, don't worry! We will be fine. I have to do it." He said. She nodded her head.

"If we will be successful, it will be our biggest win." She smirked. His expression same as Lucy's.

"There was a call for you," Lucy informed him.

"For me? Who called for me?" He asked in wonder.

"You never told me you have a sister..." She raised an eyebrow looking directly into his eyes.

Dark looked taken aback or in deep thought... But he nodded his head.

"Yeah, I do have a sister. But it's old news. Not very important..." He said.

"It is now important... A girl called late in the night. She said she needed help. And she is your sister," Lucy gave him the latest news. A few lines formed on his forehead.

"Help?" Dark repeated a single word from her last sentence.

"Yeah, she said she is in some trouble," Lucy said.

"Okay, we will look into it later... For now, we have to catch a flight. Go take a shower and get ready. I need to make a few phone calls." He said. Lucy moved away from him, noticing the change in his tone. He needs privacy. Lucy got up and went into the bathroom.

After she left, Dark shifted in his bed. He moved towards Lucy's side table and took his phone. He lifted his body from the bed. He is now sitting on the corner of the bed. Dark looks in deep thought...

Dark's broad shoulders stiffened within his toned muscular back. The muscles of his body show that he regularly goes to the gym or does exercise. Dark moved his fingers in his ruffled hair to settle them down. He got up from the bed to walk out of the room. He doesn't want Lucy to hear his conversation.

Dark stepped out of his room in his shorts. His abs are like chiselled shining metal. The rigid muscles of his arms stiffened. The nerves pop out when he moves his hand to settle his hair.

Dark walked towards the front door. He opened it and came out. He stepped down the stairs walking towards the sea. After he crossed a meaningful distance. He took out his phone and looked at the screen. He redialled the unknown number in call history.

The phone rang a few times... But no one picked it up. He again dialled the number. And this time someone picked it up.

"Hello, Dark?" A woman's voice erupts from the speaker.

"Simara!!!" He can recognize her voice in millions. She is her sister...
