"Wake up you useless idiot. Wake up" he snapped loudly. Jason's eyes immediately popped open. His eyes are wild and wide with fear, which is evident in its debts. For a moment Jason misunderstood that the person standing in front of him is Ivy. So he moved back on the bed and tried to appear as invisible as possible. "No, don't come closer. No, please don't come closer" he begged desperately. Coco is stunned to see Jason behaving like a lunatic. "What did you take? Are you on drugs? Or did you mix your alcohol with drugs? Why are you behaving like an idiot?" Coco snapped at Jason. When Jason heard his father's shrill voice, his blinked his gaze multiple times to clear her sight. When his father appeared in front of him, Jason immediately crawled towards his father with relief. "Dad, please save me dad. Please save me from them dad. They caught me dad. They tortured me so much dad. Please save me dad" Jason begged Coco. Coco frowned with confusion. Jason's behaviour is not m
"Here, your coffee" Luna handed over a cup of steaming hot cup of coffee to Ivy, which the latter accepted with a warm smile. "Thank you" Ivy thanked Luna. They both picked a table to sit on. "So, tell me. What's going on with you these days? Why did you go to your Village? That too for this long?" Ivy inquired with concern. Luna gave Ivy a forced smile. This is not the topic she wanted to talk about. But she needs a friend with whom she can share all of her problems with. And Ivy is one such friend who wouldn't judge her for anything. "It's my husband. He has been staying in his home town lately. We have been discussing this for a while now. I am telling him to come back and search for a job here. But he refused to come back here. I tried everything, but he was adamant. So I decided to go and live there if he is not willing to come here. You know, I thought that it's not good to stay apart like this after being married for so long. So I planned to surprise him and visit him wit
Inside Nikolai's cabin, Ivy is pacing the length of his cabin, waiting for Shawn to bring her a sketch pad and a pencil. She wanted to draw that Tattoo so badly, that her fingers are itching. Shawn didn't take too long. He brought the things she requested almost immediately. She didn't waste any time. She started sketching that tattoo. "What happened Ivy? What tattoo is this? You look as if you saw a ghost from the moment you came back from wherever you went just now" Nikolai inquired, finally breaking his silence. "Nikolai, I feel like I have seen this tattoo somewhere. And I am very sure it's related to the last murderer we are looking for. I cannot recollect his face or any details about him. But he has this tattoo on his back" she spoke without stopping or turning back. Within minutes, the white paper is filled with the outline of the tattoo which soon filled up with details. Ivy placed her pencil down after she finished working on the tattoo sketch. "This is the tattoo I saw
A gasp from Ivy caught Bryan's attention. "What happened?" he inquired quietly, so that only she could hear. Ivy is looking at Coco's back. His half torn shirt is hanging from his shoulders, revealing just a hint of a tattoo peeking from the torn pieces. "Bryan, I want to see his tattoo" she told him. Her eyes are glued to Coco's back. And it's not hard for Bryan to see whose tattoo she is talking about. "Alright" he agreed without hesitation and approached the fighting duo. He pretended as if he was helping Coco by pulling Jason away from Coco. "Let me help you" Bryan lied to Coco, creating a false illusion. Coco gave him a grateful look. "Thankyou officer. He is acting like a lunatic. Hold him tightly for me. He is planning to kill his own father" Coco thanked Bryan over Jason's screaming. Bryan didn't reply. He pulled Jason away from Coco. He positioned himself in such a way that he is standing in between Coco and Jason. It is not easy to control Jason, when he is under t
"That scum. He killed your parents and tormented Ivy to hide his crime. He was in plain sight all the while, but we never suspected him" Bryan spoke up, clearly still in shock about the new revelation. Nikolai on the other hand is fuming. And so is Ivy. "He found out that Ivy saw everything. But he couldn't kill her and take a risk. So he took her in, inserted a chip in her head to tamper with her mind and memories. He sent her father to an asylum and successfully isolated her. He forced her to live under his thumb. Then he pushed his son to become her friend so that she would share everything with Jason. And in turn Coco can learn about her thoughts from Jason. Whenever he suspected that she might remember that night, he used that chip to suppress her memories. What a well crafted cunning plan" Philip summarised everything. Indeed Coco's plan was fool proof. If they didn't detect that chip in Ivy's head and removed it when they did, then she might never have been able to recollect
"Facility? You mean an asylum?" Coco asked with shock. Philip nodded his head gravely. "It's for his own good Mr. Carlos. If he is not treated immediately, no one can tell what he would do and whom he would hurt in the future. He just assaulted you today. He might kill you tomorrow if he is not treated properly. His condition will only deteriorate from here. It's not safe for you, or anyone in your home. If he manages to get out of the house, he might even hurt a passer-by. It will only give you unnecessary headaches. I am sure no one would want a potential lawsuit on their heads" Philip thoroughly scared Coco. Coco is conflicted. Jason is his only son and the heir of his fortune. He cannot possibly send him to an asylum. Ivy saw the hesitation on his face. It's clear that he doesn't want to send his son to an asylum. 'He readily trapped my father in a mental institution, and was ready to send me there as well. But now he doesn't want to send his son? What a joke. I was someone's
"I still can't believe that Carlos and Jason did all that. I used to feel like, Jason is the most genuine person and I was very happy that he was there to take care of you when I couldn't. To hear that they did all this and manipulated us to this extent, it's shocking" Noah spoke up after a long silence. After the initial fear and anxiety that made Noah almost paralysed with how petrified he was in Nikolai's presence, he recovered slowly. The funny banter between Richard, Nikolai, Philip, Shawn and Bryan made his anxiety go down a little. And when Ivy reprimanded all of them and asked them to get out, they all obeyed without another word. After they left, Noah relaxed even more. The fact that his daughter has the authority to command the most feared man in the city and he simply obeyed made him assured that things are not as bad as he assumed them to be initially. After that, Ivy showed him to his room where she filled the wardrobe with new clothes for him to wear. He took a showe
Coco was feeling sad after Jason was taken away to an asylum. His wife was not pleased, but he couldn't do anything. "So much money and so many connections. But now, nothing is useful. No one can bring my son's sanity back" he thought sadly to himself. He vaguely heard the front door of his home being opened and closed. But he didn't give it any mind. He is not happy with the recent events. Until a voice greeted him. The voice of the person whom he heard almost a decade ago. "Long time no see Carlos" Noah spoke up, startling Coco. Immediately Coco snapped out of his daze and looked at the man who was supposed to be in an asylum, but somehow was standing inside his home. "Noah? You? How did you come here? Did you escape from the asylum?" he inquired with shock. Noah smirked. "Why should I run away? I am not mentally retarded in the first place, am I?" Noah asked with a smile and made himself comfortable on the couch. Coco wheeled his wheelchair closer to Noah. He still couldn't
