After Shrey and Luke ascended the staircase, Shrey scrutinized everything closely but she is struck by something strange, there was no single-family portrait anywhere.Even in the room where she was sleeping, there was no portrait to be found.She shrugged off and moved toward the kitchen with Luke.“Momma what are we going to make” Luke enthusiastically asked his mom while jumping and gyrating his toy spatula.Shrey’s POVWe are in the kitchen and it’s half past one, this house is so imposing and elegant with bright colors savoring the amiable darkness of night.I know it’s Mr. George’s house because, from yesterday's incident, I remembered that Mr. George injected me with some sort of injection that resulted in me dozing off.The man is nowhere to be found, so I decided to relax and feel at ease, but there isthere was something not right, “Kendall,” she was nowhere to be found as well, I still remember his expression when I asked him about the girl’s picture on his phone’s lock scr
Author’s POVThe kitchen atmosphere was quite sullen; Shrey could see the expression change on Luke's face.She felt desolate; a few moments before, Luke was cheerful, and now all the color on his face was gone. Yet, she couldn't stop herself from thinking about Kendall.She is unaware of her surroundings, which pierces her heart. She wants to ask many questions, but she can find no one around to answer her.Her heart is pelting, but there is nothing she can do about it.Shrey's POVFor now, I should go with the flow and wait for Mr. Hemsworth to clarify everything, and that's why I decided to ease the atmosphere."Luke turn around, please." he was stunned, but he did as I said, "but why, mom." "aren't you going to help your..." I paused. I don't know how to say it; It felt awkward.It's only been half an hour since I met him. So how can I consider myself his mother?Even though I am confused and remember nothing, I can't trust a sweet, cheerful kid and the person with whom I only hav
I turned in the direction and saw Luke running towards the door to open it. I flustered and went behind him as we didn't know who was at the gate.but the next second, Luke exclaimed, "dad."It was George Hemsworth. I sighed and turned to leave.Shrey's POV endsGeorge's POVI returned home and was sitting in my car, thinking of checking the surveillance camera before entering the house.I wanted to know and check the updates on Shrey's health, as the dose of sleeping pills and injections slowly could be decreasing, and she hadn't eaten anything as well, so I had to.But I was flabbergasted when I saw Luke and Shrey walking towards the kitchen and then cooking something.I couldn't hear them because no microphones were installed in our house, but I could predict that Shrey had excepted herself as Luke's mom.I could sense their bonding, and Shrey is unquestionably comfortable around him as his mother in just a few hours,the reason can promptly be the power of the mother's warmth and
George rushed toward the kitchen with Luke clinging to his neck tightly. "What happened Shrey?" he softly and anxiously asked her.Shrey turned toward him, pointed her finger, and embarrassingly divulged, "nothing, I-I just burned my fin-finger while trying to lift this." She didn't know why she was stuttering when he put Luke down and focused on her hand with a piercing gaze, digging a hole in her heart to create space for him."How can you be so careless, Shrey." he continued while holding her hand in his hand and washing her hands to cool the burn; he felt anxious, and automatically his protective mode was turned on, "Luke, baby, can you please get a first aid kit asap" "yes daddy," Luke ran, determined to complete the mission allot to him.George's actions and care made Shrey's heart skip a beat, and she couldn't help staring at the fine figure close to her."It must be hurting, right?" he asked sadly and blew her hand, examining the burn marks forming on her delicate skin. She
The aroma of the Chicken Biryani filled the nostrils of both George and Shrey's noses. However, their focus was entirely on their meal, and they licked their lips in an attempt to hover over the poor chicken.Luke's POV(Author's note - Sorry guys, Luke's POV from a five-year-old perspective for me was not possible, and I really wanted to let you guys know his POV as well)It's only been a few seconds, and his parents are already ready to hover over the poor chicken, who sacrificed himself to fill his and his momma dada's tummy.Looking at his parent's faces, he can tell that if the chicken gets one more chance to live, he will still choose to die and pity their face to feed them his meat if that's what they want.He sighed and decided to end this here and eat. "Dad Momma, let's eat Luke wants to eat," he said, whining and sleepily."Yes, Luke, let me serve you first," his dada said and started serving him and his mom.His mom burned her right hand while trying to lift the hot pot.So
The sweet it hurts, the deeper it stabs; it's about the flower he cherished only to see it dried; he knew flowers appease the soul, but it never lasts long, yet it bloomsthe most. ~GeorgeGeorge went to his room, thinking about the little interaction with Shrey and Shrey; he felt happy, but at the same time, his mood was melancholic. His family was incomplete. He has to bring his daughter back.He was sitting restlessly on Sofa and thinking about his next move.He has a gut feeling that John knows something about the accident; he thought to call his subordinate, who suggested meeting with John.But his attempt to call him was wasted; he didn't pick up his call.He felt anxious about his subordinate's security and started pacing back and forth in his room.he sighed and calmed himself down, and called to call his assistants. "Good mo-morning, sir," She wished, yearning.He bit his lips when he realized it was only half-past three and he was disturbing someone's sleep."Lisa, I want y
George woke up, after receiving a text message from his secretary; Lisa answered, "Sir, peter is no more. Yesterday at three am, his body was found with a chit tugged in his left pocket, saying, "Meet me at XXX place by 7 am—I think you already guessed who I am, so I hope you don't disappoint me."He was pissed off and threw his phone across the room, shattering it into pieces. "Why!? Like, why? Is it because he advised me to pursue John, or is it a warning? "He yielded, grabbing his hair, totally irked. He wasn't able to comprehend anything; he didn't have any idea who the assailant was. He would only comprehend that it was Evelyn or perhaps John.Shrey's POVI'm lightheaded, waking again after a fitful few hours of sleep. I feel like I have been here for days already, even though I know the reality is it's only been a few hours.Sighed* I was peacefully sleeping next to Luke when suddenly I heard a faint yelling sound from the next room occupied by Mr. George. I bit my lip and coul
That's it, no more fear. Just pretend everything was normal, chanting this to myself, punching my left hand on the right hand and pressing my lips in a thin line, and gathering some confidence, I sat beside George on the bed.His scrutinizing gaze never left me; I wanted to hold his jaw and turn his face to another side. But no, I am not here to do this, right.?Oh, and this awkward silent ah, it's killing me. I came here to comfort him, but I didn't know how to comfort him, so taking a deep breath, I decided to answer his question, "there is nothing to be scared about." The word right was silent, not because of his presence next to me, but about the worry plastered on his face, which was visible in thin lines of wrinkles on his forehead."So why are you sweating then?" he asked, coming closer to me, and the distance between us was getting shorter. He smirked when he saw me startled."N-no, I'm not." Ahh, I hate myself for stuttering at this moment; never mind, I attempted to wipe my
When only Shrey and George remained, Shrey exclaimed, "Why, just why, does this happen to me, George? I'm going insane; I fucking don't understand my own behavior anymore, and I feel like ending this life. I-I want our life back, George, the way we used to live before, and I want my daughter to love and embrace me the way she did before that terrible accident. I want to remember everything, George; our memories are the most precious part of my life, but all I have now is a small glimpse of our moments with our children, and this isn't enough. Please do something, George. I know in my heart that I love you. But I'm only left with the memories of Louis, and somehow, I crave to go back to him, not for his sake but for mine, to help me remember at least a single scene. I know this isn't right. but I-I" Shrey was about to fall, but George held on. He couldn't let the love of his life fall apart, neither physically nor mentally. George didn't cry; he held back his tears this time. He ca
She was enjoying the moment; the feeling of having her complete family under the same roof was beyond words for her, "Shrey" George whispered and patted her back as she was sobbing, which isn't good for her health.Shrey broke the hug and stared at George lovingly. She wanted to say many things, but not here, alone. She has already lost a lot of time, strength, and memories."Are you okay?" George asked worriedly, as a lone tear found its way out of his eyes. Shrey nodded and kissed him, one hand on his shoulder, the other around Luke's back. "Ew, momma, not in front of me," Luke said, his hands covering his eyes.Both George and Shrey broke the kiss and looked everywhere but at each other; they were embarrassed. "Kendall, come here, baby," Shrey said, as Kendall was still standing near the chair.Jenna, who was standing behind Shrey, smiling and adoring the family, was interrupted by the tap on her shoulder. She was startled and turned back only to find Alex behind her, who shushed a
Luke started crying after his elder twin sister ate his chicken piece, "Luke," and George panicked when he saw him cry, "Kendall, sit here baby," George said and made Kendall sit on the chair. Kendall pouted and realized she had almost forgotten what had happened in those dreadful weeks; she was living the same life she had been part of again, and she smiled softly."So, little bud, now that you're sitting at my princess's righteous place, eat properly," George said to Luke when he picked him up and made him sit on his lap. Luke pouted at his father's words and stuck his tongue out at Kendall.On the other hand, the doctor gave her some sedatives that helped her gain consciousness slowly, and the first thing that came to mind was her daughter. She hadn't even had the chance to hug her own daughter since she arrived."I don't know what she must be thinking about her mother; when she needed me the most my consoling, my care, my love, my time, I'm lying over here on the bed, No, I need
George stood there, frozen. The stairs beneath his feet were steady, but his world collapsed upon hearing his daughter utter those words. He came to get warm water for Shrey and check on her, but what he saw was one of his worst nightmares. His daughter was more comfortable sharing her emotions with Jenna than with him. For him, it was good that she at least opened up with someone, but what she said stung his heart again. He was angry at himself; he didn't give his hundred percent to finding his daughter. No father, whether mafia or common working man, would have taken so long to find their children, but he was a total disappointment for his daughter in his eyes. With a heavy heart, George went towards them, wiping away the tears that urged to fall. "Princess," George whispered softly, "I'm sorry." and he failed. He failed to hold his emotions in, and they burst out. He started crying. "Why did you not come, daddy?" Kendall said, finally hugging him tight. George was out of words;
Shrey and George came back to their house; it was almost midnight, and they expected their kids to be sleeping right now, but to their surprise, they were fully awake and waiting for their parents to come.With maids' help, Kendall was dolled up the way she was used to before 4-5 weeks of her kidnapping; even her own house now doesn't feel the same; the 5-year-old was standing emotionless when she saw her parents and Alex carrying Jenna.Alex carried Jenna and placed her safely on the sofa, then asked the maids to take care of her. He was observing the situation and the difference in both kids' ways of showing emotion. On one side, Luke was jumping in happiness around her mother, who finally came back, and on the other side, Kendall was scanning the view; his little niece, whose every wish he always fulfilled though he was never beside them for long, wasn't greeting him or her parents the way he was expecting her to."Kendall," George whispered, and he kneeled down, expecting her dau
Shrey’s POVWe moved downstairs, highly conscious of the fact that still a few men were pending to be seized. There is a lot to talk about, a lot to confess, and a lot to feel, but these 4 days with George and my ignorance towards the situation and our relationship have shaken me to my core.And I don’t know where to start or where to end the soreness in our relationship. It wasn’t amnesia all along; I know this fact; it was also the drugs that they gave me when I was captivated.I don't remember much about the times they injected me with drugs, but I know they didn't want me to die, but rather for me to forget everything forever, and it has something to do with our past in India. And it's certain that George and Alex will look into this personally. The way George fought with the men today, I'm sure the accumulation of guilt, loneliness, and sorrow made him the same ruthless man I met years ago.when I used to be "His Enthralled Desire." POV Ends"There are more than two floors to g
Jenna rolled her eyes at Alex's words, ignored his remark, and looked toward Shrey, who was uncomfortable for some unknown reason. "Sir, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I think we should leave."George hesitated, but released Shrey from his embrace when he realized, she wasn't comfortable and was embarrassed by his actions."I—I think," George stammered. "I—I think, you think what brother?" Alex teased, but he was surprised to see Shrey, George, and even Jenna glaring at him."Nothing," George replied, gritting his teeth and stomping his foot at the same time."Jenna, have you seen Evelyn or the main perpetrator since they kidnapped you both?" George inquired solemnly.Jenna first looked at Alex, who was trying to say something but couldn't because George was stomping on his foot and glaring at him. "Um, sir, about the perp, the one who entered the chamber we were locked in was wearing a mask, and I'm sure Evelyn wasn't there," she said internally smirking at Alex’s condition.“Okay Jenna
Alex POVMost of the perpetrator's men had already departed to confront our men, leaving only 7-8, so without wasting any more time analyzing the situation, I carefully stepped inside without making any noise, they were so engrossed in everything that they didn't notice me."Instead of wasting your time here, I suggest you run away and save your balls, from my master's brother," Jenna said, and I literally lost my balance and was about to hit the boxes placed near the window frames, which were already assisting me in hiding, I was overwhelmed and felt proud of myself, "you dared to hit his brother," came from my sister-in-law gazing at me, oh these ladies, I need to focus, they hit my brother though and remembering this, I withdrew my gun from the gun holder and shot at his hand, to not let him die easily.The leader, who was dressed in black like the other guys, had a very dark aura surrounding him; he was bulkier and taller than me and George and appeared stronger.His hand near h
“I’m here, brother” Alex whispered from the fourth floor’s window frame panting heavily and struggling at the same time, he attempted to climb the pipes and window frames of the building, as they have blocked the doors of the 5th and 6th floor of the building to not let any type of help reach George Hemsworth. The old building was massive but sized enough to not let anyone know the suspicious act they do, and the vertical distance between each window was so great that even if he jumped with all his might, he wouldn't be able to cover it, so, he had to choose windows near the pipelines, though luckily a small ladder was placed between the 5th and 6th floors, as the distance between those floors and the other floors was quite large. Thanks to the setting sun and to the fact that they are so indulged in fighting that no one paid attention towards Alex built strong figure outside the window. "Shit, now I can't even hear them," Alex grumbled as he quickened his pace. He told his sharps
