“Sir… Sir, it’s… not… my… phone,” The secretary stammered as she moved backwards in fear. Akhil stopped and stared at her with unbelief written all over his face.
“Then whose phone is it?,” He asked curtly.
“Sir, I think It’s your telephone,” The secretary replied and Akhil looked at her like she had grown horns. What phone is she talking about? He already smashed his phone yesterday when the reporters wouldn’t let it rest and he was afraid they might be able to track his location.
That’s when it clicked in his head. She said telephone not phone. He turned around and searched the small, dainty table located at the center of the room. He soon found an old telephone that looked so dusty like it hasn’t been used for years.
He frowned wondering who was able to get the line of the old telephone. He hesitated at first thinking that might be the reporters but when the caller persisted, he answered the call.
He’d already resolved to smashing the telephone against the wall if it really is the reporter calling.
“Hello,” His gruff voice sounded raspy. He rubbed his weak eyes which was beginning to droop as the result of lack of sleep.
“Mr Akhil Sharma?,” A voice asked. Akhil couldn’t decide if it is a male speaking or a female. It was possible the caller is using voice modifier.
“Yes… Who are you?,” He replied anyway. “I need to meet you. Let’s make that b*stard pay for what he has done,” The unknown caller replied and Akhil furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.
What’s this anonymous caller talking about? Who is this so called b*stard and what has he done?
“Excuse me but I do not understand a single word you said,” Akhil mumbled. “Do you want to keep on hiding in that rabbit hole forever? How many more days will your food supply last?,” The anonymous spoke in riddles again.
But Akhil looked frightened at that moment. Why is this person talking as if he/she knows where he is hiding?
“Agree to meet me in the next twenty minutes or rot in there. There’s no assurance that one or two reporters won’t find out about your hiding spot,” The last sentence sounded like a thr_@t. Akhil began to sweat profusely.
He threw a dirty look at his secretary, convinced that she had rattled him out. “But sir… How do I get out of here with all these reporters furiously on my tail?,” Akhil asked, feeling confident that his question would discourage the man thr_@tening him.
“Someone will be there to pick you up soon. Don’t make a fuss, just follow his instructions or I promise you, the reporters will finish you off within few minutes,” The anonymous warned again.
Akhil gulped and was just about to reply when the phone made a toot-toot sound indicating that the caller already hung up. He turned to his secretary with a sinister look, ready to pounce on her in anger when a knock rapped on the door.

“Do I have to wear this ridiculous dress just for a lunch?,” Zoya asked with a frown as she stared down at the short red dress on her.
“Hey! You look segzy so I don’t get why you keep complaining,” Aamir answered, staring at her reflection in the mirror.
“I’d rather wear a simple abaya rather than wear this thing. I’m going to change right now,” She turned around to leave but he held her hand.
“It’s the very first gift from me… Won’t you at least accept it for my sake?,” He gave her those puppy doe eyes that made him look alot like Samir.
It was as if it was the older Samir standing in front of her. “Okay… Fine,” she agreed with a frown.
“Samir… Doesn’t mama look segzy?,” Aamir asked Samir who turned around to stare at his mummy. The little boy frowned at first before smiling and giving his mama a sign?? that she looks beautiful.
While Zoya was distracted by Samir, Aamir leaned in and kissed the side of her mouth making her smoking red lipstick smudge a little. She turned to glare at him even though her cheeks were beginning to turn red a little.
He’s gotten even more shameless since the night before when he had stolen a kiss and found out that she was still awake. What happened to ‘we’ll take it slow this time’??
Aamir’s phone vibrated and a message displayed on the phone screen- ‘Where the f-__-k are you!? I’ve been waiting for two minutes!!’.
Aamir chuckled when he saw this just two minutes and she’s already acting so fussy. “Let’s go or I’m afraid we might make the host mad,” he murmured as he led them out.

Akhil couldn’t sit still as he stared around the luxurious mansion. The bodyguard that came to his office earlier had been able to get him out of the company under the disguise of being dressed like cleaners.
Now he’s been brought to this mansion that’s located at the outskirts of the town. The bodyguard has asked him to sit and wait patiently for the boss but he couldn’t even sit still due to fear.
The first sounds of approaching footsteps made his hair raise. He looked up and was dumbfounded when the boss approached.
She smiled at him and asked,”They didn’t give you refreshments? I had clearly instructed them to serve you since I am very aware that you might have not eaten for some days now.”
But Akhil didn’t respond. He just kept on staring at her like he’s been tongue-tied. When he finally found his voice, he stuttered,”Ne… Neha? What are you doing here?”
“Isn’t it obvious? I saved you,” Neha replied. Akhil couldn’t help but think something was amiss. But he suddenly thought of something and stood up.
He rushed to her but she evaded his touch and used one hand to cover her nose. Her face scrunched up in disgust.
Akhil awkwardly stood back and asked,”Did Aamir ask you to do this? Where is he? I must talk to him immediately. I have been trying to call him for days but it kept on saying not reachable. I didn’t understand what was going on.”
“Your number has been blocked,” Neha replied him nonchalantly. At first, Akhil didn’t hear her cause he continue rambling on,”I didn’t receive any bank alert and was wondering if it was network so I tried to…”
He trailed off when her words registered in his brain. He turned ashen as he whispered,”What…. What did you say?”
Neha smiled bitterly and repeated,”Your number has been blocked. Not only yours, mine also. The b*stard even blacklisted me all because of that wh-_-re. I still don’t get what good he sees in her and how she’s managed to bewitch him within this little amount of time.”
Akhil was speechless. No wonder everything just crashed. It was all Aamir’s handiwork. His face turned red with anger as he tried to think of the reason Aamir would backstab his own brother like this.
He’s clearly forgotten what he did to Aamir few years back. “I’m gonna ki|| that b*stard! How dare he try to ruin me like this!?,” Akhil shouted hysterically.
“He’s already ruined you,” Neha answered, rolling her eyes. No wonder Aamir has always succeeded over Akhil. Turns out his older brother is a fool.
Akhil’s body vibrated with so much anger,”I know what to do! I’ll report him to mother and let her deal with him! I know she’s the only one that can handle him. He would never go against he…”
“Which mother?,” Neha interrupted rudely. Before Akhil could say a word, she continued,”Is it your homeless mother?”
Akhil was once again speechless. What is going on?
“If you had spoken to your wife, you would have found out what has been going on in your family,” Neha sneered.
“What did that b*stard do?”
“Alot… Aside from ruining you, he has made both your mother and sister homeless and penniless. Even after throwing them out of the house, he froze their accounts claiming none of them would spend another dime of his money,” Neha informed him.
Her words sounded like bombshell to Akhil. He couldn’t find words to say. “I’ve been with him for so many years. Assisted him any way I could but immediately she came back, he tossed me aside,” Neha mumbled venomously.
“She…?,” Akhil asked. “Is… Zoya back?”
“Yes, that cursed woman is back,” Neha replied with so much hatred. “They will both pay for their sins… They will pay for loving each other. That’s my promise!”
