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.

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 27A girl trusted him so blindly and what did he give to her in return? Deceit and treachery. Even the name with which he introduced himself to her is duplicate. His whole life in the university is a lie.That platinum chain about which she turned so emotional was something he acquired in a matter of few seconds. He had never given importance to money until her. One phone call, a cash withdrawal of a few thousands from his dad’s account, a few minutes of time spent on the internet and the deal was done. His father was not even going to ask him why he withdrew such an amount of money.Those millions that Saul spent for Sophia are only pennies for his father. On the other hand his girl is crying because he spent a fortune on her by sacrificing his edu
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 29“You are gin-soaked, far away to note what dirty things he was doing to you.” He growled in anger.The club manager immediately rushed to the spot. “What's happening here?”“I was casually dancing with her and this guy hit me for no reason.” The flirt complained before wiping the blood which dropped from his nostrils.“If you're so possessive about your girlfriend and no man shouldn't dance near her, you shouldn't bring her to the club.” He accused Saul and the buzz started between the crowd.“It's far away from going close to her. You were about to touch her breasts when I pulled you away. Do
Chapter 30Though she tried hard Sophia could not get any information on what happened the night she got drunk. Saul wouldn't even leave her a clue. Tired, she quit the matter.Two days laterSaul was waiting for Sophia in their usual place. “I am sorry for coming late, I couldn't finish the assignment yesterday because I was having a headache, so I had to complete it today in the college for the submission.” Sophia ran to him and spoke breathlessly.“Is it still painful?” Saul ignored everything that she spoke previously and asked, pointing to her head with concern.Sophia shook her head, extending her lips. “Not a
Chapter 31“What are you saying? I'm just a normal guy who could get into the London school of Business purely through his grades.” In a way Saul was right. His father did not use his reputation to get him a seat in the famous institution. He got it solely by proving his merit.Sophia waved it away. “I was just joking with you. Why did you take it so seriously?”She looked around. “So is this a surprise that I was waiting to know? I hope the owner of this house is not a female that I have to start bothering.” She asked him with questioning eyes.Saul raised his hands in surrender and lied. “No you don't have to worry. He is my dear friend from school days.”
Chapter 32In a way Saul was right about Sophia’s father. Since the beginning he did not have good vibes about Lawrence. “Sophia, I have investigated your boyfriend. Are you in your senses to think of marrying that beggar from the streets? You must always remember you are the sole heir of Holiday Wines, the most famous company all over northern America. Greg neither holds the status to which we belong nor will he be able to breathe in this high class society. You put a dog on a throne and ask him to rule the kingdom, he will piss on it and run away because he doesn’t realize the importance of kingship.”“Dad!” Sophia called him with alarm but Lawrence continued being the nonsensitive man he has always been.His father is an ordinary wine d
Chapter 94The bullet struck the left side of his chest. Luckily he has a dextrocardia. According to medical terminology, it is the condition where the subject’s heart points to the right of the chest instead of his left.As against Sherlock’s expectation that he would be killed on the spot, Saul not only came out of his hiding place and also shot him on his arm. As a result, the pistol he held fell on the floor. Sherlock looked at him stunned as if he was a devil from the Netherworld. Saul made a timely decision. Every added moment that the former lived was a risk to Sophia. Saul could not think of a better time to kill him. While Sherlock was still under the stupor on how Saul was still alive, he shot him point blank to see him dead instantly.After he confirmed Sherlock lost his life, Saul breathed at ease and succumbed to the floor. There was a heavy blood loss because two bullets were punched in his chest. The last thought before Saul welcomed the dark world was Sophia is safe. N

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
Chapter 91They heard a tweaking sound. His legs gave up and Lawrence fell on the chair behind him. 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? Saul asked him.
Chapter 92“What are you doing? Do you want to prepare your enemy for your attack so that he can skillfully counter you in future with his army of men? 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
Chapter 90“Water is the life of a fish. You remove the water, the fish is as such dead. You are the water and she is the fish. It's like two birds in one shot.” Lawrence voiced with introspection.“Jesus! Is this guy a man eater? What is your story with Mariya?” Saul moved forward with hands on his knees and looked at him with complete attention.“Mariya was like a sister to me.” Lawrence stated as a matter of fact. But his truth made Saul choke on his own spit.“You give earth shattering surprises with the least emotion.” He spoke between his coughs. “Your life is full of complexities as big as a daily soap series.” He spoke with absolute wrat
Chapter 89“You're Saul Campbell alias Greg Warner. I know. Do you think I will marry my daughter to an alien about whom I do not have any information? Sophia is my life and my daughter. 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
Chapter 88“Yes Mariya was pregnant when I married her. I knew about it and agreed to our wedding. Sophia is not my daughter but I'm still her father because I brought her up with these hands and filled the gap of her mother too since she was six. I vouched to be her protector till my last breath. 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? Come straight. Who is he? Why is he behind her l
Chapter 87“Fuck! How old is Sophia exactly? I need the complete birth details of her?"Van looked at his boss baffled. It was the first time he was hearing softness in his tone other than a command. The all-power mafia leader who only dominated people 24/7 has a gentle and caring side too. It was a discovery to Van."Sure sir, in a while. Ten minutes later he walked back with a slip. "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
