Chapter 09: New Life, Old Wounds!

The Next day, as promised by Mr. Victor, Natalie received all her required documents which proved she was Fuoco Wade. She felt thankful for this new Identity. 

This was the first step and she had to still go a long way. 

Natalie was also feeling bad as she was lying to them but this was the best for all of them at that point of time. She promised herself that in the future she will repay them ten-folds of the help she have received today.

As for Mrs. Wade, she will ensure that the good-hearted lady had a comfortable and peaceful life ahead. 

What Mrs. Wade has done for her, was something no one would expect from anyone in today's world. 

Natalie used to wear the hospital clothes meant for a patient.

It had been more than a month after her consciousness but it never dawned upon her about her clothes.

So, on the day when she was to leave the hospital, few nurses entered her room with a gift in their hand.

 Natalie knew them as they were really kind and helpful. They used to take care of her in the absence of Mrs. Wade.

Natalie was surprised when they gave the gift to her. She denied first but when they insisted she accepted it with a warm thanks.

They asked her to open it. So, Natalie opened it and found a beautiful yellow colour dress. It was a knee-length Floral A-line dress, not an expensive one but a beautiful piece just like their hearts.

One of them asked Natalie to wear it for the small farewell they have planned for her. Natalie  agreed to their request.

When Natalie wore it and looked at herself in the mirror on the washroom wall, she could not stop herself from admiring the girl she was looking in the mirror in front of her.

Despite no make-up and weakness, the yellow colour dress made her look like a normal college going girl who was looking beautiful and cute.

It was hugging her in all the right places showing her curves. The dress complimented her thin waist and fair complexion. If she would have put on a light make-up, anybody would have taken her to be a young model...ready to go on the stage.

Natalie quickly combed her shoulder length black hairs and tied them in a high-pony tail.

After that, she walked out of the washroom. The reaction of the ladies was enough to tell that she was looking beautiful!

One of them infact even mentioned to take-in her as her daughter-in -law that very moment if she agreed. Natalie blushed and thanked them for their compliments looking very innocent and naive.

While, in her heart she was satisfied thinking her enemies won't be able to recognise her as she had changed a lot.

She now have a cover and can plan on taking her revenge, while her enemies were unaware of her existence!

As, Natalie accompanied Mrs. Wade for departure, they were met by whole of the hospital staff at the reception. THEY WERE STUNNED TO SEE THE BEAUTY IN FRONT OF THEM!

IS IT THE SAME GIRL? SHE IS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN ANYONE IN THE ENTIRE STATE! 

Natalie received a warm farewell from the hospital staff that day....she received a lot of gifts and was overwhelmed to see how much these people have done for her. She thanked them with teary eyes and a warm smile.

Mr. Victor arranged for their ride home and that's how Natalie Samrat was finally out in the world with her new Identity....Fuoco Wade.

Mr. Victor himself took Mrs. WADE and FUOCO in his black Porsche car. On the way, FUOCO keep looking outside to the car, as if she was trying to memorize everything in her mind. 

Finally, the car stopped in front of a small house, with a small garden. It was not even one-fourth of what FUOCO used to live in.

SAMRAT mansion was too huge, but Fuoco didn't had any complaints, infact she was happy that it was away from the main city. There were similar looking other houses as well and as it was already late in the night, so no-one was visible except for one of two.

Mr. Victor's driver helped them in carrying their stuff to the house, although there wasn't much.

They thanked Mr. Victor and after exchange of a few words and wishing goodnight to each other ,Mr. Victor's car left.

Mrs. Wade welcomed Fuoco in her home, which she said now belonged to her as well.

It was a small yet comfortable house to accommodate a small family. It had 2 bedrooms, 1 guest room, a kitchen, a living area, and a small garden outside. 

The interior of the house was ordinary but well-maintained. The way, the house was maintained showed that Mrs. Wade was a keen homemaker. She might be a cleanliness freak as not a single ounce of dust was visible anywhere. 

Mrs. Wade showed Fuoco her room, it was a mid- sized room with a bed, a wardrobe, a study table, a small book-shelf and a big window with curtains. 

When Mrs. Wade asked Fuoco if she liked her room, she replied with a smile that she loved it. After listening to her Mrs. Wade felt quite relaxed.

Mrs. Wade then told her that she have buyed two three dress for her which she have  placed in her wardrobe. She was not sure about her choices , so she didn't buyed more and that they will go the market on weekend to buy more clothes for her.

To which, Natalie said she don't need more clothes but when Mrs. Wade insisted she gave-in. 

Mrs. Wade quickly went to prepare dinner and Fuoco was left in the room alone.

She quickly went to the bookshelf to check the books that were there. She had read most of them already, except for a few on language.

She was going through them, when she heard Mrs.Wade's voice, she was calling her for dinner.

It was a simple dinner but for Fuoco it was much better than the hospital food, she finished it quickly. Mrs.wade was definitely a good cook.

After they finished their dinner, Mrs.Wade gave Fuoco her medicines which the young girl took obediently. 

Mrs. Wade then went to clean the dishes while Fuoco slowly walked back to her room. Not to forget, she was still not Fully recovered. 

By the time, Mrs. Wade completed her dishes and came to check on Fuoco, She was already asleep.

Mrs. Wade entered her room, kissed her on her forehead and left the room.

 She was also tired and fell in deep sleep as soon as she lie down on her bed.

Meanwhile, Fuoco who appeared to have been sleeping opened her eyes. She got up from her bed and went to the study table. She searched for any plain notebook and luckily found one.

She opened it, sat down and started writing something on it. But, it was not English.....she was writing in French. The reason was simple,if by mistake Mrs. Wade opened it.... atleast she won't be able to understand what she has written.

While Fuoco has written ".......My whole family was brutally killed, but i got saved....i have begun a new life...but my wounds are old....and they have not healed yet!.....and they will not heal easily....they will only heal....by killing each of them!"

Meanwhile, Fuoco was busy planning her next move.... A black-figure was looking at the house where Fuoco was, he was wearing black clothes and his face was covered with a mask. His eyes sparkling in the moonlight were saying an unsaid story. His dark get-up along with his tall height and well-built structure was complementing his mysterious existence. HE waited until the lights of her room went off and then he walked away disappearing in the darkness!
