A losing battle
Her heart had warmed up when Andy called her honey. She wasn’t sure if she should object. It felt good so she smiled to herself and took the wine glass that he had offered. Her body was reacting to his. She didn’t want to hop into his arms yet. To avoid losing control she sat on the sofa next to the coffee table.His smirk was also alluring although she felt a tiny bit of irritation that he knew about her discomfort. Her phone chimed.

Dr Raj's untimely visit
“Wait a minute”, Andy glared at the muscular man with light brown eyes. He was a handsome man but had a darkish evil look to him. “Did you call on Mia’s phone sometime back? You sound familiar.”Andy was suddenly alert. Who was this man turning up at her flat in the middle of the night? He looked like a mafia head. What had she gotten into within a month that he was out of contact with her? He cursed under his breath as a million questions raced through his head.“I am Dane’s friend,” Dr Raj responded and left before Andy could ask any more questions. Andy did not like the speed with which the man who called himself Dr Raj dashed towards the hospital. Why didn’t he call Jenny or Dane? Why was he here instead of Dane’s flat? Dane wasn’t on the ca

Joy and Peace
So she did know the arrogant bastard and was attracted to him. What the fuck? Andy thought. He toyed with his phone as he eavesdropped. “I have no idea. Is everything alright with them? Jenny didn’t stop to say hello” he said. Andy could see right through him. He was making small talk. “Yeah, she was a little tipsy in the evening and then this patient arrived. I wonder how she even managed to function” said Mia in her sunshine smile. “Must have gone over to sleep”. She turned to Andy and raised her eyebrows, “what are you doing here? I thought you must be fast asleep.”“No Babe. Ask your friend Dr Raj here. He woke me up at 2!” Andy scowled.

Arya's bedroom

The way she was on a first-name basis with Arya also showed that there was more to them.Anya looked around as she walked into the hallway of the second floor. It was easy for her. A trained cop and a good actor were all that was needed to keep others thinking that she was just a middle-class woman who looked around everything in awe.In reality, she was checking for the exit, the cameras, the guards, the weapons and every other thing that would help her get the crying girl from the call out of that place.Her phone rang.

Arya's concern
Someone threw icy cold water on her face rudely waking her from her unconscious state. She was in a dark room, not sure whether it was a basement or a room on the second floor.A bright light blinded her and a slap on her cheek broke her lip. She tried to hit back but her hands were tied behind her back. She was sitting on a chair, bound by ropes at her waist. Her legs were splayed open and tied to the legs of the chair.Her cotton Kurti was wet with the cold water making her shiver. “Who the fuck are you?” She spat which earned her one more slap. She continued undeterred, “you think you will be able to get away from this? Why did you incriminate Arya?” “Bitch!” It was the gruff voice of a man. Must be in his late forties or early fifties. “I can’t believe it. Yo
