Chapter 22

“Hope you are not going to give me a heart attack by making that contract marriage a permanent one.” Carson waited for Saul to speak but heard nothing except heavy breathing from the other end. 

His heart beat began to accelerate. “I never said ‘no’ for anything that you wanted. That is why she is still breathing. Otherwise she would have been buried six feet under the ground by now for everything you suffered because of her. You were insistent in marrying Sophia and…”

“How is mom?” Saul did not want to have a discussion about Sophia with his dad. They already had it several times before marriage and he had only heard negative reactions from him about her which somehow he doesn't like.

    Chapter 23There goes Dori’s introspection, she has touched a sensitive spot that Sophia didn't want to discuss with anybody. “What do you intend to say to Dori? Do you want to say that I'm a Stockholm syndrome patient who falls in love with her captor?”Dori smiled. “I did not say anything. You were the one who said everything about yourself.”“Is this what I get for treating my assistant as my best friend?” Sophia wanted to act bossy but was Dori going to buy it?“Your assistant did not become your best friend but it is the other way. By the way, regarding your previous inquiry, your dad is safe and sound. According to your request, I have asked Dr Williams to come a

    Chapter 24“The number belongs to some girl by name, Dori and she is Sophia’s assistant.” The chief security officer informed Saul.He took a relaxed breath and scoffed. “Is this why you called me this late in the night? You almost brought me a heart attack by saying she talked to someone unknown. Dori is her friend and she is harmless.”Since her adventure with Liam Colon with almost getting raped by him Saul tracks all the numbers from Sophia’s phone. He knows he is being little of a man, by not granting the freedom to his wife but it is for her own benefit. He doesn't indulge in hampering her liberty but if it involves a risk, he could go to any extent, even of being her stalker.&ldqu

    Chapter 25“Try me.” Before Saul could speak further, Carson stopped him. “If I allow you my free will you will turn out to be another anti-social element that I don't want you to be. Enough of complaints I handled about you. Earlier it was children, school and teachers but now the situation is more deadly. It went up to the cops. Your level only keeps going higher and higher as you gather years instead of reducing. I thought you would mature with age. But I was wrong.” He shook his head at him with disappointment.“The government dogs who live on the biscuits I throw at them to keep their family bills floating have come up to the level to warn me against you. Do you understand how big of an insult it is to a businessman who has three fourths of the country’s service sector working under his

    Chapter 26“It's okay. I can pull them on for one more year.” Saul dusted away the shoes with his handkerchief and gave out a full blown smile towards Sophia. “I made this for you. It is a heart which lights in red when you press a button behind it. My heart blooms like this when I am with you. So I brought this for you.”“Is it?” Sophia took it from him with joy and pressed the button.“Do you like it?” He asked and her eyes were filled with tears when she nodded to him.“Don’t cry.” He insisted and wiped her tears away. “Give that to me.” He brought out a chain from his pants pocket and attached it to the heart. “

    Chapter 28A month laterSophia was in huge chuckles as she reached Saul and twirled them around. “What happened? Why are you so happy?” Saul asked her, puzzled.“A surprise. I bought two tickets for both of us to a weekend delight at a local club nearby. Wear something new. We are going to have a lot of fun.” She cheered and then suddenly turned serious. “Wait, do you have a good pair of trousers and a shirt or I can buy you one.”Saul nodded. “Don’t worry. I have got one which I stored for days like this. But why did you buy those tickets? They might have cost a fortune. We could have gone to some pocket friendly restaurant and had dinner.”

    Chapter 93“Sir” the guard spoke on the phone. “I am sorry to disturb you at this late hour. But the intensity of the situation demanded it. There was an old woman passing through the gates of our estate. She was handicapped and was using a stick to walk.”“And? What am I to do with her handicap? Why are you narrating children’s stories by waking me in the middle of the night?” Saul was about to blow the fuse in temper. His derring-do bass voice struck a chord in the guard’s throat.“She gave me a letter.” He shivered stating the reason. It felt bizarre for someone passing by to hand over a fictitious letter to me. Suspecting it to be a bomb or something dangerous, we called for a diffuser and got it opened. I

His eyes got closed off and hands shivered. “Aah”Saul immediately went and held his hand. “What happened to you?”“I feel this sort of dizziness very often these days. The doctor told me my hemoglobin is low but I do not feel like eating anything. Every day I'm given the same bland diet that doesn't have any spice or salt. I do not like it. So I eat less. And this is the result of that.” He spoke weakly, keeping his eyes closed.“But you ate well this afternoon? Why don’t you take some iron capsules? Are you a baby fussing for your favourite food?

Don’t ever underestimate the power of your enemy. That will be called over confidence and it can lead you to a very big danger. Stay quiet. Speech is silver but silence is golden.” Lawrence instructed Saul before his voice could reach the recipient and cut off the call.“Nice thought. But how will I know the name of my enemy if I don't speak to him?” Saul spoke angrily.“I did not think you could be so stupid after staying so many years in the mafia. Get your PI into work, to track this number.” He pointed to the phone. “You will get the location along with the name of the calle

I did a complete background check upon you before marrying her to you. Like I told you earlier, you did not choose her. Before that I chose you as her groom.” He said proudly.Saul was dumbfounded with the information. He did not know to treat it as a compliment or insult. “Do not keep beating around the same point, that you chose me for her.” He said irritatedly massaging his forehead with his forefingers.“Why, your ego got hurt? You thought you were the only most intelligent man born on earth? Everyone has got their own smartness. But some brag about it while

To keep her safe, I manipulated her birth records because there is someone very vicious behind her life.” Lawrence finally told Saul the truth.“Who is behind Sophia’s life?” Saul rose up from his seat in a hint of fury.Lawrence replied as stoically as possible. “Someone whose sinning velocity you can’t estimate.”“What?

"Sophia Brown was born on 21st February 2000 at 5:30pm at Red Cross Hospital Zurich."Saul choked as soon as he heard the information. That means the date of birth details that were submitted at the university when they joined London school of Business were wrong. Why did Lawrence duplicate the birth details of Sophia? Some
