Amber finished her business in the bathroom and washed her face clean. There was a private bathroom in the room meant for Samuel, but she wanted to breathe in some fresh air. The smell of disinfectants was too strong there. She started to get a headache. Now that Rose is taking care of Samuel, she decides to stretch her legs a little. She bent down to wash her face. She didn't notice the person silently sneaking from behind her until she felt something hard hitting at the back of her head."Ahh..." she whimpered with shock and pain. Before she could turn around to see her attacker, black spots started dancing in front of her eyes, and she fainted.Bradford carried her into the men's room and locked her up in one of the stalls."There, all done" he muttered, squishing down the building fear and anxiety in his gut.That's when his mobile started to ring. It's a call from Johnson. He frowned and debated what to do.'It's already risky working against Kairo Bianchi. It's better to keep it
Miller ignored his bleeding shoulder, while his gaze was fixed on Rose who was standing not too far away from where he was. It's been a couple of months since he last saw her. And he wanted to go and hug her at once. And he did just that. He erased the distance between him and Rose with long hurried steps. Not once did his eyes leave her figure standing there with a frown."Rose," he said with happiness and was about to hug her, but his way was blocked by another woman. And Rose took a few steps back and looked confused and stunned."Naim? Are you alright? You should go and see a doctor first" Lola suggested."S..she is right. You should go see a doctor first" Rose agreed with Lola. Her voice came out in a rush, as if she didn't want Naim to stay anywhere near her. His voice, it sent chills down her back. It sounded familiar and made her feel uneasy. She never felt this way with Naim. He speaks less, but Naim always makes her feel safe. But today, at this moment, her fight-or-flight i
Rose requested the doctor to send Samuel home and promised to take care of him at home. After what happened in the hospital, Rose couldn't stay there, as she didn't feel safe. Someone hit Amber's head hard enough to make her faint on the spot. Amber is fine and was sent to rest well. Now, in the Bianchi mansion, Samuel was given his meds and now he is sleeping peacefully. Rose is sitting beside him and gently holding his tiny hand in hers. Kairo is not back yet. He is busy with some important work. Rose kept remembering how Naim was looking at her. It still sent chills down her spine whenever she remembered it. 'His voice, why does it suddenly become different? This is not how Naim's voice used to be. Is the change because of his shoulder injury? Will an injury of that kind impact one behavior and voice? And why do I feel like I heard that voice before? It's familiar but still distant. What happened back in that corridor? Amber seems to be in the dark about everything. She doesn't ev
In the motel where the real Naim was locked up, Bradford is anxious. He restrained the Italian underboss for now. But he is worried about the consequences. Naim saw his face. And if the underboss ever gets an opportunity to escape, then there is no doubt in Bradford's mind that Naim would kill him and his family. "What did I do? I keep myself digging deeper into this endless pit. I thought Miller would come to the hospital and take Rose away with him. But instead, he replaced himself with the real Naim and now I am stuck here with Kairo Bianchi's underboss. Even if Miller manages to kidnap Rose, I will not be free. Kairo and his men will hunt me down and they will not stop until they kill me. What should I do now?" he is panicking. On the other hand, Naim is awake as the effects of the chloroform wore off. But he kept himself still and unmoving. He is quietly listening to his surroundings to find out how many men are guarding him. His hands are twisted behind his back and tied with
In the Bianchi mansion, Miller's eyes snapped open. He looked at his surroundings slowly, taking in the dimly lit room with dark drapes. He understood that this must be the real Naim's room. He winced when he tried to get up too quickly. He forgot the bullet wound on his shoulder. He ignored the pain and sat up on the bed.'I am inside the Bianchi mansion. So close to my Rose ' he thought as excitement ran down his nerves. But soon his mood became gloomy when he remembered how Rose reacted to him in the hospital.'Rose doesn't know I am her Miller. That's why she felt uncomfortable when I tried to touch her. But if I confess to her who I am, then she will come running into my arms. I should tell her now. She will be extremely happy ' he thought delusionally.He stood up to his feet and steadily walked up to the door and tried to open it. But it didn't budge. 'Looks like they locked me in. I acted too rashly. I should have been more tactful in my approach ' he reprimanded himself."We
In the motel, when Bradford's anxiety started to skyrocket, he receives a call from Miller."Miller, where are you?" he asked anxiously.Miller on the other end is looking around his surroundings keenly. He reached the hospital where he switched places with the real Naim. He searched the room where he saw Rose. But to his annoyance, it's empty. He saw it himself that she is not in the Bianchi mansion either. He wanted to know where she is. So he called Bradford to find out her where abouts."Bradford, find out where Rose is" he instructed Bradford ignoring his question.Bradford is dumbfounded.'Why is he asking me about Mrs. Bianchi? He is in the mansion, isn't he supposed to know?' he wondered. But he is not about to say that out loud and piss the insane and unstable Miller. So he kept his thoghts to himself."Ok" he agreed and the call got disconnected from the other end.Bradford is angry."That crazy shit is in the Bianchi Mansion. He is supposed to find out about that woman. I a
In the Bianchi Mansion, Rose fell asleep in Samuels room. She was so exhausted physically and mentally, that she doesn't know when she slipped into a deep slumber. In her sleep, she remembered Miller. It must be the fact that she heard his voice that day, her dreams were assaulted by him. His eerie smile, his voice, his body language and how he used to look at her. Everything she remembered about Miller came to the forefront of her mind. Suddenly Miller's face disappeared and Naim's face appeared instead. Her mind caught up with the unmistakable similarity between the two. She remembered how Naim looked at her in the hospital, his body language, his voice and that disturbing feeling she was bombarded with in his presence. She saw Miller and Naim side by side , and suddenly they both became one. And that person looks like Naim, but acts like Miller. Rose was so horrified by her dream, she suddenly woke up with a panicked look. She is breathing hard and she is sweating profusely. 'Wha
Lola's eyes welled up with tears. Her heart is feeling too heavy to even think about anything happening to Naim."Naim is too strong to go down like this. I am sure he is alive some where. We have to search for him" She said with confidence.Atlas and Rose felt looks of concern for Lola and Naim. "She is right. Naim is stronger than Miller. Not everyone can outsmart him. I think Naim was trying to alert us when he shot Miller. But none of us expected this situation" Rose agreed with Lola.Atlas nodded his agreement. He remembered how he could smell the Alcohol on Miller, while he never saw Naim drinking while on duty. He should have suspected it then, but this situation is not something that occurs everyday."Atlas, I think you should call Kairo and immediately tell him about what we are suspecting. I am sure if anyone could handle this with minimal to no loss, then its Kairo. Call him" Rose urged Atlas.Atlas immediately pulled out his mobile to call his boss. On the other hand, in
