The sky had gone dark. I couldn't persuade myself to move or to go in. His strange, mysterious talking was confusing and dreading me the most. He lost his memory and forgot everything about me. A shudder worked down my spine. Meri thought frightened me. I could never imagine myself forgetting him. Was he trying to tell me something? Was he planning something? He never told me anything. He attended his meeting in another language. So I couldn't get a word. It was clearly showing, it was related to me. I rubbed my palm on my arms, hugging myself. I felt goosebumps. My heart hammered in my chest. "You shouldn't be out," I felt something warm over my shoulders. Lifting my chin, I looked up at Tom. He smiled down at me. "Why is Mini not here?" I asked. He breathed out with a frown. He walked around the bencher and sat next to me. "Dad said, her mother can take care of her better than us." I felt sadness engulfing

I took deep breaths, trying to shove off the nerves in my stomach. I opened my mouth. But new forming tears clogged my throat. "Lock your door, Evie and pack your stuff. You need to go somewhere safe." He whispered in my ears before removing his arm. I turned to look at him. I embraced him and began to sob softly. "Where's he? I can't endure this man. He calls me Eve and tries to touch me. I'm not feeling safe, Tom. We're on our own. We have to find him." My voice cracked. " Evie," He shook his head. I drew myself back. He looked at me. "We don't have much time." "Mini?" He could blackmail us. "They're safe. No one knows where she and your families are. Now hurry up." Tom motioned at Rocky and Assassin. "Nothing should happen to her. If I don't come within ten minutes, you know what to do." They nodded their heads immediately. "You have a big responsibility, Evie. I wouldn't have said it if…." Tom exited the room, closing

I couldn't spend time lounging on the couch, doing nothing but eating and walking around. The newspaper had stopped repeating the same things after many days. The blast part seemed their favourite, might be getting them TRP. My pregnancy was also all over the news channels and paper. Luckily, they weren't showing any pictures of me. "Evie! How's it looking? What are you thinking?" Her sharp voice pulled me out of the thinking. I looked at her blinking multiple times, I wanted flowers around me, the air filled with scents of them. Now, I realised that I wasn't interested. Nothing interested me without him. "It's lovely, exactly as I want them." I forced a smile her way. "You're not happy. It's not good for your health. You're not even paying attention." Amara said. "I've heard that a lot." I flattened my lips looking around unintentionally. "Well, you don't wanna get late." I pushed forward the swing slightly with my feet. "We can't b

After selling my diamond ring, I exited the store. I bought it when Duante brought me home. He never gave me cash or phone until I stubbornly asked for them. I rarely saw cash. He made certain I got everything without asking. After shopping, I checked into the motel. I was using my fake ID. Without a passport I wouldn't be able to leave the country. I had to find sources here. Strangely, none of his trusted men wanted to help me; that could happen only in one case if Duante had himself ordered them to do so. I wasn't playing his game anymore. It was quiet in the room. I ate and ordered some more cookies, sweet bread if I felt hungry again. I had enough money to travel the Italy now. I felt tears in my eyes. I didn't want to sob. I got in my bed hoping to get some sleep. I hadn't thought about what would be my next move. I stared out of the window. Many questions were forming in my head. Sleep wouldn't come easy when I knew people were looking for me, And

Devil pulled the car in front of the three storey house. It was full with all the luxuries which a looker from outside couldn't expect. But it reminded me of a beautiful gilded cage. I glanced out of the window with furrowed brows. I could see them coming at us, their hands were ready to take their guns out. My furrow deepened seeing Rocky coming behind them. "Keep Rocky away from me." I told Assassin in a tense voice. His rude behaviour that day changed my mind. I didn't trust him. I would love to keep my distance from him. "If he's troubling you... " Assassin trailed, he didn't need to complete. His scowl was telling he knew. "I can talk to him if…" His if was holding a promise of many bad things. Devil's head turned to him. He was back in covering himself with his hood and dark clothes from head to toe. But I could guess from his deep tone his eyes must be narrowed at him. "Just keep him away. That's it." I told him. They were approa
