Narrator’s POV— (Continuation of Emily’s narration)The man drove for another hour and reached an abandoned house in middle of nowhere! It was a place in between two towns. The car stopped in front of the house and the man got down the car. He walked around and opened the passenger door. He gently touched the girl’s forehead and caressed her hair.“Hey! Can you walk?” he whispered but the girl only stirred in her sleep but didn’t open her eyes! She was having quite high temperature.The man took a deep breath and lifted the girl in his arms in bridal style and walked towards the door. He knocked on the door and within a few seconds the door was opened by an old lady.“Everything ready?” the man asked and the woman nodded. The man walked inside with the girl in his arms and climbed the wooden stairs to go upstairs and entered a room. The room was clean with a simple double bed, a wardrobe and a small ta

Mark’s POV— ( Past Life)“Sona? Sona??”When I returned the sky was dark and the house was quiet. I walked in through the unlocked door and found some vessels with food on the wooden table covered with lids. But no one was around.“Sona??” I called Sona again. My eyebrows were drawn close and eyes were dark. I had a bad feeling that something has happened. But what? Did the girl escape? Maybe Sona went after her?Not getting any response I run upstairs skipping steps of the stairs and barge in to the bedroom where I left the girl, already yelling, “Where is the girl??”“Master? You are here!”As soon as I entered the room, I found Sona sitting on the bed beside the girl. The moment she heard me, she stood up and strode to me with a very worried face.“What happened?” I asked frowning.“Master, the girl is very sick and if we don’t take her to a

 Clara’s POV— ( Past Life) He left me alone with Sona to get dressed. I felt relief but also a bit disappointed for what god knows! I was feeling bad for Mark! Isn’t it the weirdest thing ever heard? The man kidnapped me and here I am feeling sorry for him!Sona wiped me dry and my hair too and then removed the wet towel that covered my body and in a quick reflex, I covered myself with my hands and pressed my legs close with shame.“Huh!” I gasped.Sona realised my emotions and said pointing at the door, “Don’t worry Miss, the door is closed and no one will enter. Let me get you dressed.”I shook my head slowly left to right.She sighed and nodding rapidly, she said, “Ok. Just put this on.”She gave me a simple white gown and helped me to wear it. She tied the laces and then combed my hair. After I was dressed, she took the wet towel to the bathroom.

 Marks’s POV— ( Past Life)“Sona, this is Dr Clearwater and he will check on Venessa!” I had to get a doctor for Clara but I couldn’t tell him her real name or identity! So, I told him that she is my wife Venessa and she had fallen from the stairs!“Good evening Doctor! Madam is in her room!” Sona said and quickly exchanged a glance with me! I raised an eyebrow secretly at her and she blinked.“Mr Mark, please come along.” The doctor said and Sona walked ahead leading us to the bedroom where Clara was sleeping.As we walked inside, my eyes fell on her sleeping form. She wore a white gown and lied on the bed, sleeping peacefully. Her innocent face always made my heart quench and this is the reason, I always tried my best to avoid looking at her! She is so innocently beautiful that even a beast would love her at first sight! I was in a way a beast too!Looking at her, made me remember

 Narrator’s POV— ( Past Life)Clara gulped in fear hearing the warning tone of Mark! When he said last night that he will take Clara to the hospital next morning, Clara was extremely happy! That was not only because they won’t be travelling soon but also because she thought God has given her a way to seek help! In the hospital among many people, Clara can ask help from the doctor or maybe a nurse and they would easily inform her parents over a telephone! If there is a telephone in the hospital, which she believed should be, she can herself call her parents and inform them that she has been kidnapped and held hostage!But when Mark said in a rude, serious and warning tone, Clara bit her lips warily and locked her clammy palms together. What is it now? What does he want to say?“W-What is it?” she managed to ask.Mark looks at her face and sighs deeply. She was afraid of him and it was quite clear! He looked down f
