Eric’s continuous wailing annoyed Maria. He was now scratching her face, forcing her to drop him down on the floor, but Maria glared at him and next moment slapped him, and in return, Eric slapped her back. Maria was flabbergasted. She was boiling in anger when her eyes landed on the unconscious Mishka. She walked to her and dropped Eric on her lap. Eric stopped crying and quickly jumped on her lap to hug her. Mishka stirred, her forehead creased. She slowly opened her eyes and found Eric on her body like a second skin. Eric was frightened of all the masked men around him. His little heart was thumping loudly as he tried to wake Mishka. “Mama…. mama, waky.” Eric mewled. Mishka opened her eyes properly. Though still under the effect of a high dosage of the drugs, her vision was hazy. She tried to hold Eric, only to find herself confined to the chair with her hands tied with a rope on either side of the chair. “Eric, baby.” She said and Eric looked at her face and his eyes travelled

Dan’s men were guarding the place at every step and Sean’s team members were successfully thrashing them one by one. But they were still far away from the spot where Dan held Mishka and Eric captive. The entire factory was booming with the sound of gunshots, and Dan was impatient now. Dan’s men held Mishka’s hands behind her back and she looked at Christian and then back at Dan, who was frantically looking around for Eric, but he wasn’t anywhere in sight. “Where the fuck is that kid?” He shouted at his men, but everyone was just as clueless as Dan. “Arghh…” Dan screamed in frustration and turned to Maria, “Where is he?” He asked again, spitting fire from his eyes. “How will I kn….” Before Maria could open her mouth and give a smart answer, Dan shot her in the middle of the forehead. Mishka trembled in fear while Christian took the opportunity and punched the man behind him with his elbow. He then turned to the other man and kneed him in the crotch and punched him square in the face.

Rony rushed to Berry and tried to wake her up, but she didn’t respond. Rose quickly called for emergency help while Daniel started crying, looking at the screen. Jake threw the gun and slipped on his knees. He covered his face with his hand and screamed loudly. The hall echoed with his screaming while Christian, Sean, and Dylan looked at the lifeless body of Dan wordlessly. Mishka was standing behind Christian, tears were slipping from her eyes when a sudden pain shot through her abdomen, and her eyes rolled back, “Chris!” She mumbled, trying to hold his collar, but her hand caressed his back as she collapsed on the floor before Christian could protect her from falling. “Mishka!!” He held her in his arms, and tried to wake her up. Mishka opened her eyes for a fraction of a second. Blood was oozing out of her mouth as she tried to say something. “Aryan.” She muttered, barely audible, and closed her eyes again. Sean reached out his hand and checked her wrist, but couldn’t find the p

“I think I should call Christian,” Lia said, picking her phone from the nightstand Tommy’s eyes snapped back in her direction. “What? You want to talk to that bastard? No! You are not doing that.” He spoke loud and clear, and Lia’s nostrils flared in anger. “Really, Tommy? Do I need to take your permission before calling my friends?” She snapped at him, but the next moment regretted her words as Tommy started taking predatory steps towards her. He hover over her body and glared at her, “You will do as I say! Right, babe?” He whispered, his hand ran on her bare thighs. “What is wrong with you, Tommy? You are scaring me.” Lia said, and Tommy’s demeanour quickly changed. “I mean, I am your boyfriend and you are saying on my face that you want to reconnect with your ex-boyfriend who ruined my career. Do you even have the slightest idea about how will I feel?” He asked and Lia dropped her phone on the bed. “Good girl, now can you prepare something for me? I am starving.” He pouted. L

“Come out, Jake.” A cop said, and Jake meekly followed him, leaving his dorm. The cop opened the meeting room for him, and Jake was completely surprised to find Christian waiting for him. “You have twenty minutes for this meeting.” The cop said and left them alone. Christian gestured him to sit and Jake took the seat opposite him. Christian was staring at his face with pity in his eyes. Jake’s state left him speechless, and he momentarily forgot his purpose to visit him. “You shouldn’t have killed Uncle Dan,” He said and Jake looked at him, pursing his lips in a straight line. “I had no option,” He answered. “If I hadn’t done that, he would have probably ruined more lives for his wicked intention. I gave him three chances, but he chose death for himself.” He said, wiping tears from the corner of his eyes. “Anyway, it’s all done and dusted now.” He smiled sadly. “How’s mom? She must be hating me right now.” He asked about Berry, and Christian cleared his throat before breaking the n
