Nikolai reached the area which is fairly far away from the city and where there are many factories and warehouses located. This place can cover up murders, as the noise from the factories will mute the screaming of the person even when he is being killed. He looked at the two bodyguards who were shot dead when they tried to rescue Ivy. He can imagine what must have transpired here. The tire marks of both cars is showing that the bodyguards tried to block the kidnappers, but were shot. Nikolai leaned closer and noticed that one of the bodyguards still has a pulse near his neck. It's weak, but it's there. "Shawn, he is alive. Send him to the hospital. Tell our men to thoroughly search this area. Ivy is here somewhere " Nikolai said and they started searching the area. Nikolai left no stone unturned to search for Ivy. He called upon dozens of his men to search the area. He also noticed that the kidnappers vehicle was right infront of the car of Ivy's bodyguards. But the bullet which
In the dumpster, Ivy came in and out of conscience. She could vaguely hear the heavy footsteps and then the overwhelming smell. "Ah..." She moaned softly. Her head is pounding and her mouth feels dry. She is still unable to get a hold of her surroundings. She is in a state of confusion. Suddenly she felt two pairs of arms pulling her out of wherever she was. She couldn't make out the two figures who are eying her with worry. She is unable to recall how and why she came here. Soon, her eyes became heavy and she passed out. "Adam, looks like she was given a higher dose of Chloroform so that she wouldn't make any trouble. We need to take her to a hospital immediately. If not, it's hazardous to her health" Kelly spoke with urgency. She was a medical student in her senior year before she was kidnapped by Christian and ruined her life after that. Adam is frowning deeply. "Kelly, you know we don't have money for even our food. Any moreover, a hospital is a place where we can be fou
In the hospital, Richard was proclaimed to be out of danger by the doctors. But a couple of his ribs are broken and one of his ankles is fractured. "Thank the lord that you are safe my son. What would happen to me if something had to happen to you?" Richard's mother, Sandra Nina cried softly from beside his hospital bed. Richard tried to give her a weak assuring smile. "I am fine mom" he whispered. His voice sounded croaky and rusty. Sandra sighed heavily still reeling from the trauma of the accident. "I am sorry mom. You must be feeling terrible especially after the back to back accidents of me and dad" Richard spoke weakly, feeling how much her mother must have been scared. Sandra is quiet. Truth be told, she was happy when she heard about Stevenson's accident. He was not a good man, and a very bad husband. He never used to lay his hands on her, but he used to subject her to mental torture. He was never a loyal husband. He always used to threaten her saying that he woul
In that abandoned godown, Ivy slowly came back to her senses after Thirty six hours. Slowly she opened her eyes and stared blankly at the dirty ceiling which is filled with cobwebs and black sooth. Her mind is yet to catch up with what happened to her. She raised her hand to touch her head which is feeling heavy. She noticed her throat which is so dry, that it's aching. Physical discomfort is the first thing she noticed. The hard surface upon which she is lying on. Her body aches. And then her gaze slowly took in her surroundings. She noticed a woman lying on the floor beside a man. They both were sleeping. She didn't recognise them at all. She sat up slowly and winced at the discomfort in her head and body. Her body is stiff and it's aching. She felt thirsty. She looked around and noticed a half filled water bottle. She stood up to her feet and stumbled a little before she found her footing. She grabbed the bottle and finished the bottle in one go. As the water went down her dry
Nikolai looks as if he hasn't been eating or sleeping well for a few days now. And he is not. He is relentlessly searching for Ivy, who disappeared into the thin air. William died last night, unable to bear the pain and the blood loss. Samuel suffered a heart stroke and lost his life when he saw life leaving his brother's eyes. Both the brothers lost their lives with regret and fear. Nikolai on the other hand is wearing the same clothes which he was wearing on the day Ivy was kidnapped. His jacket and tie were missing. The buttons on the top of his dress shirt are undone and his sleeves are folded over his forearm. His shirt and pants have blood splattered all over them. The usually clean shaven Nikolai Knight who never liked to have a hair out of place is now dishelved. He has beard growing on his face, which gave him a dangerous edge. His eyes are blood shot and his knuckles are bloody from punching William with his bare hands. They also found and captured the four men who help
"Nikolai Knight?" Two voices echoed at once. Adam jumped to his feet while Kelly looked at Ivy with wide eyes. Ivy is confused by their reaction. They look stunned, but not aggressive. Ivy gave them a confused stare. "Do you mean the same Nikolai Knight who is the CEO of the Knight group?" Adam asked with a stunned surprise. Ivy nodded her head, not understanding why both Adam and Kelly looked pleased and a little happy too. "That means, you are the same designer whose designs were plagiarised by Hudson?" Kelly started to connect the dots. She heard that Christian was targeting the Knight group and the woman Nikolai seems to be interested in. Christian was targeting that designer who later saved the knight group by making a fool out of Hudson. Ivy nodded again, not understanding where this is going. Kelly and Adam looked at each other. "Do you think the men outside are Christian's men?" Kelly asked him, trying to figure out if it was Christian who kidnapped Ivy.
"Nikolai " She whispered to herself with relief and happiness. She ignored everything and everyone and she jumped to her feet to go out to find Nikolai. Adam and Kelly looked stupefied for a moment when they saw Ivy running out of their hiding place. "Ivy, stop" Adam reacted first and ran after her. Kelly followed after him. 'Ivy' Nikolai's voice now sounded a little closer, which raised Ivy's hope. She ran outside the godown, while Adam urging her to stop. "Ivy, stop" Adam caught up to her and stopped her by holding her elbow. Ivy is looking in the direction where she is hearing Nikolai's voice with longing. "Adam, let me go. Nikolai is here" she spoke with urgency. Adam is scared and he is looking around them to check if someone is coming. "Ivy, don't be stupid. What if the man calling you is not Mr. Knight? What if it's Christian who is trying to lure you out of your hiding place?" Adam tried to reason with her. Kelly rushed to where they are and looked at thei
Kelly came and stood beside him just when Nikolai hugged Ivy tightly in to his embrace. "Wow, they love each other so much. I never thought of a man like Mr.Knight who has a terrifying image, could actually fall for someone like Ivy" Kelly mused. Adam smiled at her words. She is not seeing what he is seeing. "Mr. Knight not just love her, he is obsessed over her. If he learns that Christian is the one who tried to kidnap her, then Christian will be finished. It's just a matter of time. I can see that Mr. Knight can move mountains for her. Christian is just an earthworm for someone like Mr. Knight" Adam shared his thoughts. His eyes taking in the scene playing infront of him. Nikolai is hugging Ivy so tightly, as if she is going to disappear if he doesn't. He missed her so much that he is thirsty for her. The time he already spent with her is not enough. He wants more time with her. So much more that he wants her for an eternity. Nikolai kissed her like a man starved for ages.
