I woke up the next morning with swollen eyes as I couldn't sleep all night properly. I kept turning the whole night thinking about what Ranish would want from me or what kind of drama he will create. Moreover, the sounds of thunder clouds didn't help me much.
After doing my morning routines, I wore simple jeans and a top and put a short shrug on it. I went to Athena's room directly. I knocked on the door and Princess Anna's voice came.
"Come in...." I smiled and entered.
Anna was doing something on the phone I guessed, Athena's phone. She didn't see me. I cleared my throat and said,
"Good morning princess Anna, how are you doing now?" She raised her small head and looked at me.
"Sobbry angel...." she screamed and stood on the bed while throwing the phone on the other side of the bed. I laughed and hurriedly reached towards her bed and she threw herself at me. I hugged her tightly.
"How are you baby?" I asked her sitting on the bed with her
"Hello, I am..." she cut me off."Iam hungry." saying this she turned on her heels and marched away producing the voice of thak thak. Her heels!Rude much!Hmm...Rab ne Mila di Jodi..both are perfect for each other. Arrogant & Rude.(God made the couple)"Ignore her pretty girl. She is just a Little nincompoop. She has slapped her head. Let's go have to breakfast." Tristan said. I gave him a serious look."She is your brother's girlfriend and you are calling her names," I said to him while walking beside him. He laughed out loud."You are something..but naive. Don't let her be your competitor ok." He said to me.What does he mean? I don't even know her...huh....all the creatures here are nonsensical."Sobbry angel...." I heard Anna's voice. We turned and saw her coming with her mother all dressed up well."Where were you gone? I was looking for you....now I have to
HER"Dear, please take this water, you need it. Are you feeling well?" Pamela aunt asked me, holding a glass of water in front of me but I didn't take it.I didn't know who held me or handled me. Who dragged me from there. It was like I blackout with open eyes or became numb but I could feel my heart accelerating the whole time, nothing else.I was sitting straight on the couch in the living room with Pamela, Patricia and maids. They were pursuing me to speak something and trying hard to get some response from me.What should I have said?"I called Athena and she told me she is on the way," Patricia said and caressed my head and hairs. My tears were already dried on my face and I didn't have the energy to shed more."Mani, you need to listen to us ok. You didn't have to go there at that time. You should call.." I interrupted Pamela aunt."I want to res
"Once there was one sadhu (saint). He went to the river to bath. There, He noticed a scorpion struggling in the water. The Scorpion can't swim, so Sadhu knew that if he didn't save the scorpion, it would drown..""Ohh...then?" Anna asked curiously."So carefully picking up the scorpion, he rescued it from drowning and was about to set it down gently on the land when the scorpion stung his finger."Anna gasped, "really...but why? He saved him."I nodded, "In pain, the sadhu instinctively flung his hand and the scorpion went flying back into the river. But as soon as he regained his composure from the sting, he again lifted the scorpion from the water.Again before he could set the scorpion safely on the land, that creature stung him. This thing went on for a few minutes."Anna looked at my face carefully."Then what happened?""A hunter was watching that scene for some time and finally asked him, 'why don't you give up
I furrowed my brows and gave her a questioning look."Whom did you send? He annoyed the hell outta me, that forest lizard." She said huffing.I looked behind her to watch Tristan with Dean behind him walking. Ohh...Tristan grinned. He walked over to us and said, "Pretty girl, is she your friend? She is quite a firecracker." He said, smirking."You bloody calotes..." I held her arm and shook my head at her. She huffed and narrowed her eyes at him."Aww!, sweetheart, you look so cute in anger," Tristan said. Amy gave him toothy smile which was sarcastic and asked, "How do you know I possess a sweetheart? It can be bitter as well."Tristan grinned and said,"Ahh...then show me that bitter heart. sweethot."Sweet hot?"Ah...of course, it will burn you alive, you calotes." She said, smirking."Uffff...this hotness, sweethot." Tristan pouted.I shook my head. These two are the same. Suddenly I looke
My eyes popped out of its socket.Shit....Amy...I looked at her and she was gazing at the sputtered wine on the table and the dish bowls. Ever so slowly she glanced at all of them who stopped eating and was looking at her. That Valina was smirking cleverly.Tristan was on the verge of laughing his ass off. But he grinned holding his fist over his mouth. Amy was flushed in embarrassment.Suddenly, I heard giggling. We all looked at Anna who was giggling and laughing holding her stomach."That was so funny..*hihi* Julie did that in the orange sun. per..pefet." she said giggling.And that was enough for Tristan to burst out. I bit my lips and closed my eyes, but opened when Amy stood up."I..am very sorry, I was just startled." She said nervously."Tsk... low-class people," Valina muttered. I glared at her.I glanced at Alpha king who was clenching and unclenching his jaws. He took a deep breath, like trying to contr
"Hey Mani, are you fine now? Your fever is completely gone now, right?" He asked me. I furrowed my brows and glanced at Amy. She smiled sweetly. I nodded at him."Good, anyway, Serge is coming for you, stay alert." He said, smirking.I sighed. That kid!!Rainy and uncle Tom also asked for my health. Amy told them I was ill, so I was on holiday. We started doing our work. I was arranging some kitchenware when Serge bumped into me."Mani ma, how much I missed you." He said hugging me."Really, what's the deal?" I asked, scowling. He mischievously smiled."Aww, my Mani ma knows me well, but this time we will do fun." He said wiggling his brows and wrapping an arm around my shoulder."Kiddo, I know what is fun in your eyes. Hurry up, spill... I don't have much time." I said beckoning him with my hand."Samuel must have told you about a family business party and I don't have any date to accompany there." He said. I looked at his fa
I stared at him without showing any consideration of his talks. Suddenly, my mum's words rang in my ears.When God is showing you somebody is not for you and you continue to deal with them anyway, he will allow them to HURT you until you let them go for good.I smiled without any emotion and said, "So you think I would come running to you because you want me now.""please ba... Mani. I know you are hurt beyond words but please give me a second chance. I p....""I did. I already gave you a second chance which you had lost." I cut him off.He looked at my face in apprehension."Please... I am all asking for the last chance. I promise you I won't ever repeat those things which you don't like, I will be loyal to you. I will cut my ties with bad friends and girls including Sarika. I will be a perfect husband for you." He said."What did your parents say?" I asked, ignoring his blabbering. Her name created the rage inside me. It reminded
Anna got down from my arms and said,"Ree uncle pomise us, we will go and do a lot of shopping and will have dinner in my favoute. Resta..urant." She beamed.I looked at him who was coming toward us with Gabriel beside him."Miss Mani, your bag," Noah said. I turned to him and took my bag smiling."Leave the formalities and call me Mani only," I said.Looking at my face, he nodded stiffly and I nodded amusingly, imitating him.Alpha king stood near us and looked at Noah and me seriously."I hope you are comfortable and convenient with this new brief journey." He said curtly. I blinked my eyes.I have to if I love my life. I have to bear your presence and cruelty running around. Do I have another option?I sighed and was about to nod when he said again glancing at me,"Bearing the uninvited presence around, taking the unwanted responsibility...." he said, turning to Noah, "It must have been difficult for

DANIEL:🤴After two years:The family which I never dreamt of having is in front of me, my own family. I smiled looking at the picture of my family on the phone. My lovely wife and my babies. Raising my head, I looked at my heartbeat. My sunshine!"Dadda…" She ran to me with her small feet. I smiled and pulled her in my arms. My wife sent me for grocery shopping with my kids while she was having her lady party with those crazy women."My baby doll." I kissed her cheeks. She giggled and imitated my action and kissed my cheeks too. My heart swelled with happiness. I never knew I would have two girls in my life to protect. And this duo always makes me run for the hills but who is complaining."Dad, all done." Orenzo said while grabbing his cart. I asked him about Reyes. Orenzo shrugged his shoulder. We walked ahead with our cart. When it comes to my
[Flashbacks]:___"Daniel how long?" I asked whining and sitting on the chair. I touched my belly and caressed it. Come soon, baby!"Give me a few seconds." He replied and set the table with two plates and one bowl. He made one pani puri and put it inside my opened mouth. That homemade golgappa was so delicious, leaving a sensational burst of flavour in my mouth. My husband was a quick learner. I offered him one but he denied it and asked me to eat. I kissed his cheek in return but that lovely Anaconda licked my chin on where my tangy water from golgappa was flowing down. He pecked my lips."I have to take care of two babies." He stated with a charming smile and shining eyes. Poor husband of mine had to bear all my tortures and fulfil my crazy wishes. Once I asked him to bring every kind of flower from the garden. It took him an hour to gathe
MANI:👸{Five years later}"And she followed her silent treatment method for a full day. I don't even want to relive her looks.""Really, but what exactly did you do to get that?" Reyes asked. I heard their whispering voices and started walking towards the room."It was just a small thing and she made a big issue out of it.""Really, Were you dating a baby girl? I must ask wuv about it." Reyes laughed out. I furrowed my brows.What are they talking about?"Shhh.. If your Wuv listens to you, Iam doomed." Daniel shushed him. I cleared my throat, standing in the doorway.Both of them turned their heads at me. Their hands stopped working on their ties. Daniel smiled at me cheerfully. Tsk!Reyes grinned."Wuv, D was talking
I stepped forward slowly while waiting for his reaction. He was not saying anything. But I needed to hear him."Daniel?" I called him again to test his senses. His back muscles tensed. I bit my lips. With a speed of light, he turned and strode over to me. I stepped back startling. He held my head with both hands and asked,"Is this true?"What the fish!I just wanted to kick his balls. Men species!"You bloody idiot man, you released your bloody sperms inside me and you are aski…."He slammed his mouth on mine making me shut my mouth. I hit his chest with my fists but he clutched both my wrists and kissed me aggressively. I sighed into his mouth. He kissed me for two minutes. My legs turned to jelly. I couldn't stand properly so I leaned on him putting my weight on him. He released my lips.Without giving me a second to think he pulled away and jerked me on his lap while se
HER:The whole family surrounded me and started hugging me tightly one by one. Anna cried and complained to me that I went away without telling her. I had to create a story to tell her."Dear, we were so worried. I don't want to lose anyone anymore in my family. Spare this old couple a heart attack. It's good we didn't tell your parents about it. But we had to If you were not found within a day." Vicki granny said and hugged me. Thank god!I nodded and agreed with her not telling them about my abduction. I will talk with them later and give them the good news.Amy hugged me kissing my cheeks. I wondered if Tristan told her about my kidnapping."Babes, I so want to rip their heads off who took you and chop them into small pieces, throwing them to Wolfie to eat." She burst. I laughed. My happy charger!"You are not going to roam anywhere alone from
WRITER'S POV:Mani stood up slowly with her weak body. Daniel's eyes fell on her. He looked relieved seeing her unharmed body. She smiled at him again and was about to run to him when Titus blocked her view, standing like a barrier in front of her."So sweet, our Queen is getting emotional. Why hurry? Let's serve our guests first, Carina." Bonkers said while grinning at Daniel.Daniel clenched his jaws with his statement and the way with which he was addressing his wife twitched his body in fury. He just wanted to take his wife in his arms but he knew that was not easy when the infamous Italian Don VISO d'angelo, is messing directly with you."What. do. you. want?" Daniel asked him, gritting his teeth, without beating the bush around. He knew this lunatic man was up to something. He had an idea about it but he wanted to confirm it. Viso smiled at him."Ah! The list is lon
HER:My mind went blank seeing that man in front of me. My voice stuck somewhere in the throat. Long forgotten the water, vomit and all. He was looking vicious and treacherous. His intense features were making him a bit scary. He pulled out his cigar and puffed out a cloud of smoke leisurely looking thoughtfully at me and that made me scared shitless.I trembled under his intense yet unblinking gaze. His eyes roamed down my whole body like he was scanning me. I coughed again when the smoke hit my nostrils. A wave of nausea hit me again but I swallowed my vomit inside hardly. I was afraid of their reactions thinking what If I puked in front of them. My throat constricted. I knew that I was going to be very sick anytime.Ever so slowly he smirked which made my heart go haywire. I was swallowing my salty saliva to delay my puking period. He took two steps towards me and gestured to his men with his hand. T
HER:I raised my eyelashes slowly and peeked at those two men who were talking slowly which I couldn't hear. They are the people who abducted and took me here, God knows what is this place. It's been almost two hours since I got my consciousness back. I was shaking like a leaf. The terror which I felt when I was kidnapped for the first time, came back again.I screamed, cursed and begged them to release me but they didn't hear me and avoided me like a plague.Why did I step out of my home in the first place? I should have waited for Daniel.I pinched my eyes feeling regret. I should have been more careful.I don't know who they are or what they want from me. It was sure that they were enemies to Daniel. I was afraid of my baby more than myself. I just wanted to go safe from here and tell my husband this good news of our lives. My eyes were dry after the cry session
