Finally, the sun pouredits shaft on my face and the chirping of morning birds streamed into my ears. Istretched on the bed with my eyes still closed. Last night was just an odd longnight. My head was still heavy with a dull pain. It felt as if I didn’t sleepat all. I held my head, sitting up on the bed then began massaging my temple.“What kind of pain isthis?” I hissed, feeling uncomfortable down there. It felt like my thighs wereseparated and an agitated pain made a wave throughout my core. Opening my eyesfully, I gasped. “Where are my clothes?” I grumbled to myself, pulling thebedclothes over my chest. I was practically naked. How?“Hope I made your night,”a hushed tone sounded beside me and pivoting my head in the direction, anothergasp escaped my lips. Jaiden? He was seated on a chair near the bed.“What the hell are youdoing in my…” my lips parted in shock as my eyes fell on the photo frame ofRelated chapters

Ria took my child, and in exchange, I had to bring Zeehan to her.More tears ran down my cheeks, dropping on Zeehan’s temple.

My eyes were puffy because of too manytears and my heart beat as thundering as ever, making my chest heave up anddown. I thought it was going to explode, making me lifeless, but no, I wasstill alive with uneven breathing. The thought of losing Zeehan made me tinglewith anxiety.“Veer,” I mumbled undermy breath, my eyes darkening.*****In a heartbeat, I spedinto Veer’s compound.

Her phone stuck in her hand while still dialing Mrs Mahavir’s number. I pressed my lips together, fighting back my tears. I don’t want Veer to see his efforts going to waste. “Sweetheart?” Veer called in a whisper.“Hmm?” I mumbled.“You don’t have to worry too much, okay? I am sure the sergeant will find Zeehan and when that happens, I won’t let any harm befall him again,” he assured me.I nodded. “Thank you for being here with me,” I appreciated him.

Jaiden’s POVSomething insane isbuilding up in me and I don’t like it. I hate giving attention to one girl. Forfuck’s sake, I haven’t had my eyes on or even touched any girl after that nightwith Pari. She is just everywhere; in my head, in my mind, and my eyes. Isee her virtually everywhere. It seems I am losing my mind. Imagine me callingmy mom Pari just a few minutes ago. She was beyond surprised and I had to rushout of the house not to look foolish or mentally derailed.“Watch your steps!” thesnarl of a lady followed my thoughts and I snapped out of my thinking mood.“Dia?” I mumbled.“Why are you lost andsleepwalking?” she sneered and scoffed.“I’m sorry,” I said.She raised an eyebrow asif I had said a foreign confusing language. “Sorry?”“What?” I furrowed myeyebrows.“Are you sick, Jaiden?”she said and I glared at her.“What’s that supposed tomean?”“It means since I knowy

Sidd’s POVFrom the police station, I sped to Ria’s house. I was told she went out. Stepping out of the house in anger, she drove in. I glared bitterly at her like we have been enemies from the onset. She alighted from the car, stopping to stare at me. I shot to her, grabbing her arm and pulling her roughly to myself.“Ouch!” she winced.“Where is he?” I demanded.“Where is who? You are hurting me,” she cried, struggling to free her hand.“Where is Zeehan? Where did you keep him?”“Get your hands off me!” she groaned and pushed me, making me stumble back. “How dare you! How dare you come to my house to accuse me? Do you know I can sue you for this?” she snarled.“Dare it,” I called her bluff. “I am 200% sure you are holding him captive. Look here, if anything should happen to him, I won’t spare a minute to kill you with my bare hands,” I threatened, lipid with rage. I felt like strangling her.She scoffed. “Let’s see how you succeed with that,” she sa

She tilted her head with narrowed eyes. I went on one knee,holding her hand. She creased her forehead in disbelief. “I was wrong. Ishouldn’t have lust after Nadia when I have you. I have come to realize I can’tever do anything without you. Give me a second chance, please,” I added in themost authentic voice ever. Besides, what am I an actor for?She smirked. “Stop tryingto fool me, okay? I am not falling for your trap,” she said.“Trap? How can you sayit’s a trap? Have

Nadia’s POVI reached the address andstopped along the lonely track. It was a meadow track with a running river at afew distance. The grasses smelled fresh, but smothering as if soaked with rainwater. The track extended to a few distance into a hazy building. Thebuilding looks like a silo, but I guess it’s a warehouse or something. How canhe bring my baby to such a dreadful place? Suddenly, my phone beeped again,showing a private number. I whirled with the cold, unpleasant wind that surgedinto my skin.
