Mark’s POV— ( Past Life)
“Sona? Sona??”
When I returned the sky was dark and the house was quiet. I walked in through the unlocked door and found some vessels with food on the wooden table covered with lids. But no one was around.
“Sona??” I called Sona again. My eyebrows were drawn close and eyes were dark. I had a bad feeling that something has happened. But what? Did the girl escape? Maybe Sona went after her?
Not getting any response I run upstairs skipping steps of the stairs and barge in to the bedroom where I left the girl, already yelling, “Where is the girl??”
“Master? You are here!”
As soon as I entered the room, I found Sona sitting on the bed beside the girl. The moment she heard me, she stood up and strode to me with a very worried face.
“What happened?” I asked frowning.
“Master, the girl is very sick and if we don’t take her to a
Clara’s POV— ( Past Life)I gulped knowing that I was only in a towel and will be carried by him in this condition. My face turned red with shame and I felt very embarrassed even thinking that a man will see me and touch me in this condition!So many scary thoughts started running in my head! What if my towel slips off my body?I immediately looked down and checked the knot.‘What if he touches my by chance at the wrong place? What if the towel rolls up from my thigh and ..’I covered my face with my palms in shame even to think about all those dirty possibilities! Though my face was covered but I could hear his footsteps and soon the smell of a masculine cologne mixed with sweat filled my nose and I don’t know why, I felt butterflies in my stomach! Not only that, the worst was that my heart was thudding loudly but not in fear! I was blushing hard, I know.I felt guilty and ashamed of the way I was!How c
Clara’s POV— ( Past Life)He left me alone with Sona to get dressed. I felt relief but also a bit disappointed for what god knows! I was feeling bad for Mark! Isn’t it the weirdest thing ever heard? The man kidnapped me and here I am feeling sorry for him!Sona wiped me dry and my hair too and then removed the wet towel that covered my body and in a quick reflex, I covered myself with my hands and pressed my legs close with shame.“Huh!” I gasped.Sona realised my emotions and said pointing at the door, “Don’t worry Miss, the door is closed and no one will enter. Let me get you dressed.”I shook my head slowly left to right.She sighed and nodding rapidly, she said, “Ok. Just put this on.”She gave me a simple white gown and helped me to wear it. She tied the laces and then combed my hair. After I was dressed, she took the wet towel to the bathroom.
Clara’s POV— ( Past Life)I woke up in the morning with a heavy head and flattered my eyes open. My whole body was aching but the dizziness and nausea was not much! I looked to my left where there was a big glass window through which the sunlight was pouring in! The outside morning view was beautiful and as far as my eyes went, I could see deep green leaves of trees. It was still early morning I guess, because sweet sound of different kinds of birds chirping was heart lifting and nice to wake up to!“Good morning Miss! How are you feeling?” I turned my head towards the front and found the lady Sona walking in with a tray in hand.I don’t reply. And this is not because I didn’t want to reply or I am purposely being rude! Usually in the mornings when I wake up, I always feel a bit confused and groggy! My muzzy feeling usually clears gradually as I start my day.I slowly sit up on the bed and hide a big
Marks’s POV— ( Past Life)“Sona, this is Dr Clearwater and he will check on Venessa!” I had to get a doctor for Clara but I couldn’t tell him her real name or identity! So, I told him that she is my wife Venessa and she had fallen from the stairs!“Good evening Doctor! Madam is in her room!” Sona said and quickly exchanged a glance with me! I raised an eyebrow secretly at her and she blinked.“Mr Mark, please come along.” The doctor said and Sona walked ahead leading us to the bedroom where Clara was sleeping.As we walked inside, my eyes fell on her sleeping form. She wore a white gown and lied on the bed, sleeping peacefully. Her innocent face always made my heart quench and this is the reason, I always tried my best to avoid looking at her! She is so innocently beautiful that even a beast would love her at first sight! I was in a way a beast too!Looking at her, made me remember
Clara’s POV— ( Past Life)My whole body was in acute pain and I wasn’t able to move! I wasn’t even able to speak and only cried after I regained my senses after one hour or a little more in the morning.“Where is it hurting Miss?” Sona asked me again and again frowning as I lied on the bed which I believe was Mars’s doing! I just remembered how I was about to fall from the first floor window and die but Mark saved me! Now that I am alive, I actually have again hope to see my parents some day! But now I owed Mark one! Despite the severe pain because of which I was crying my heart out, I couldn’t help but feel grateful to Mark for saving my life!‘But that doesn’t make him any good! He is the reason you are imprisoned here away from your home, your parents and scared like hell!’—I reminded myself.“Miss! Can you sit up?” Sona asked but as I tried to even lift my head, I scre
Narrator’s POV— ( Past Life)Clara gulped in fear hearing the warning tone of Mark! When he said last night that he will take Clara to the hospital next morning, Clara was extremely happy! That was not only because they won’t be travelling soon but also because she thought God has given her a way to seek help! In the hospital among many people, Clara can ask help from the doctor or maybe a nurse and they would easily inform her parents over a telephone! If there is a telephone in the hospital, which she believed should be, she can herself call her parents and inform them that she has been kidnapped and held hostage!But when Mark said in a rude, serious and warning tone, Clara bit her lips warily and locked her clammy palms together. What is it now? What does he want to say?“W-What is it?” she managed to ask.Mark looks at her face and sighs deeply. She was afraid of him and it was quite clear! He looked down f
Mark’s POV— ( Past Life)I had to agree to let Dr Clearwater send a nurse who was also his assistant and was training under him, since I couldn’t leave Clara in the hospital! She would definitely cry for help and spill everything the first chance she gets! I have worked for months on this work and the man has already paid me half of the money to kidnap and deliver Clara to him!I had to tell a bunch of lies like every time I did when I kidnapped anyone but this time it felt true, at least a little! Truth in bits and pieces! I really wanted to keep her closer to me! I know I shouldn’t encourage my heart to feel anything for her. But I can’t help it. I tried. I tried hard and pulled away from her lips in the late morning, but truth be told, she has taken my breath away and whenever I think about her, my blood rushes through my veins as if wanting to reach her heart to connect with mine! I am smitten already and however much I t
Clara’s POV— ( Past Life)‘Don’t even try to patronize me!’ ---- I snapped at my inner mind which repeatedly implied that I am being jealous! But I was not jealous at all! Mr No smile can do whatever he wishes with his life! He can get close and have sex with any woman he wants, why only Ms Betty! I was just irritated because Betty looked like a fake, overbearing bitch who wanted to spread legs for every man! Why else would she give those flirty looks and seductive smiles to a married man?‘Come on! You know he is actually not married to you!’ --- there she goes again!Ok, maybe he is actually not married, but she doesn’t know! To her, Mark is married to Venessa which is me and we are in deep love! Bloody home wrecker! She was tailing Mark, who is supposed to be my husband like a lost puppy and she was almost brushing her false padded mountains which were disproportionately larger than her slim body!
