1792 Words
Demitry’s POV: “So the blackmailer has given him only five days, huh??” I asked in a cold gentle voice to Dexter. “Yes, sir… according to our man, Warrick is now like a mad man. He had a huge fight with Valerie too. She is also creating trouble for him. I wondered why the blackmailer didn’t have approached her till now,” he said in an amused tone. I also smiled because I was also waiting for the blackmailer to approach Valerie. “What about Oliver and Sasha?” I asked him after a short pause. “Oliver came the day before yesterday and according to our source, he didn’t tell anyone about his whereabouts for the previous four days including Sasha has infuriated her. they also have a huge fight last night. Sasha was off and on our radar that put her in suspicion,” he explained his report in calm tone. I knew that Sasha was up to something and I needed to find this very soon. ”You should go home, sir. An angry anaconda is waiting for you at home.” His tone was flat but I could felt tease. I raised my brows at him coldly and he just blinked. “You can go now and report me as soon as you got any news on them”, I commanded him in a cold tone. He nodded and get out of the room. After coming back from my trip, I came straight to the company due to some urgent work. I knew that Mariam is furious now because I came back almost a week when I told her that it would take only two days. I rubbed my temple and sigh tiredly. I needed to brace up myself for her wrath. I looked at the caller ID of my phone when it started ringing. I raised my brows when I saw grandpa’s name. I picked up the phone and put it on my ear. “Yes, grandpa,” I asked him a gentle tone. “Your uncle and aunt are coming today to meet me”, he informed me in a calm tone. I knitted my brows but smirked. “Did he tell you hi purpose of visit?” I asked him a calm tone. “No. he didn’t tell me but Nathan told me that he was trying to get the information on whereabouts of Rehaana. I am sure that he wants to search her in the mansion”, he said in a calm tone but I could feel his frustration. “Shift both of them in south toer”, I requested him and here was a short silence on the other side. I pursued my lips into thin line. We both knew that we had no other solution than shifting them there. The south belonged to my late grandmother and no one was allowed to go there after her death. Grandpa had prohibited that area for everyone. “I guess this is the only option we have right now. I will take care of everything. Try to come early in the evening “, he instructed me in the end and I said okay to him before hanging up the call. I took a deep breath and leaned back at the backrest of my chair. Dexter had already told me that my relatives other than Oliver were trying to reach Rehaana. All of them were aware of her medical condition and all of us knew that they were awaited for her death. She was absent for our lives for more than a month now. That way why my uncle and aunt were trying to get her whereabouts. Both I and grandpa had kept this secret that Mariam is her donor and that was now could be a problem for us. I called Dexter in my room again. Mariam was angry from me So it was in vain to call her. I knew how to make her forgive me. I beard the knock and asked the person to come inside. Dexter came i side and closed the door behind him “What is the exact condition of Mariam?" I asked him a calm tone. He knitted his brows in confusion but answered me, "She has shown a great progress in the past few days, and still she has to go a long way." I chewed the internal cheeks while thinking something. "Will her able to sit up for time". I asked him again in a low voice this time. He immediately shark his head negatively. "No sir, she can't sit up yet. She can move her body side by side on her own but can't sit up", he said in a firm tone. I knew that he is a protective towards Mariam and that was why i chose to ask him. "My uncle and aunt have started searching for both girls", i told him after a short pause. He nodded in understanding this time. “You can tell that both are on vacation together at your private island. In that acse, they can’t investigate there”, he gave an idea and I raised my brows here. “I think it can work for the time being. They will not do any such things that can start a war with me. They can’t afford that”, I smirked and Dexter also nodded with a small smile on his lips. “What about Warrick and Valerie?” he asked me again. I drummed my knuckled on the table while thinking about them. “Keep an eye on them for the time being. Try to reach that blackmailer through them. I am sure that soon he will approach Valerie too. If I am not wrong then he is also trying to find out Mariam’s whereabouts. Our mansion is not the place where one can infiltrate in confirmation. “Are you going back home now”, he asked me in a calm tone and I took a deep breath. “You have started enjoying my dilemma, huh??” I gave him a cold suspicious look. He immediately shook his head. “No sir how can I do that? After all you are my boss. If you are in stress due to any reason then I will be stressful too”, he immediately retorted in a faltering tone. I scoffed looked in the other direction. “Shall I go back, sir?” he asked me in a low tone this time and I waved my hand in dismissal. I needed to handle my relatives first. I looked at my watch and took a deep breath. I had two hours in my hands. So, I decided to finish some work before heading to mansion. I looked at the pile of files collected at one side of my table. I took a deep breath and took the first file. I was completely drowned in my work when my phone started ringing again. I looked at watch and sighed. I took my phone from the table and pick up the call. “Yes grandpa”, I immediately asked him while reading the document in my hand. “Your uncle and aunt will be here in one hour. Oliver with Sasha is also coming with them? He informed me and I furrowed my brows. I smirked at their plan. It seemed that someone was in a hurry to get the whereabouts of Mariam. “Okay grandpa, I will be there on time. Have they shifted?” I asked him about the girls. “Yes and I instructed their guards to stay inside but alert”, he told me in a calm tone and I said okay to him before hanging up. Now it was time to face the two-faced relative with my ex-girlfriend. I finished the work in my head and put the file aside with completed files. I called Decter again and gave him completed files. I then walked out of the room towards the elevator. I smiled when she didn’t pick up the call again. I then called on her mother’s no. "Hey son, how are you doing??" She picked up the call and asked me in a cheerful tone. "I am fine, mrs. Lockhart. Thanks for asking ...how is the weather there??" I asked her in a low gentle voice. "You can guess" she chuckled and I took a deep breath. "It means thag i am in a great trouble, right?" I asked her in a defeated tone while coming out of the elevator in the parking area in basement of my company's building. She laughed at my comment. “Come home soon, Demitry. She is missing you a lot”, she said in calm tone after her laughter died. “I am coming home, Mrs. Lockhart but I think, you already have gotten the information about some unwanted guests?” I asked her while hopping inside on the driver’s seat of my car. “Yeah and don’t worry. Mr. dovenpart has made all the necessary arrangements”, she ensured me and then we both hung up after talking about how to improve Mariam’s mood. I took a deep breath and then drove towards the mansion. I reached the mansion in forty minutes. I gave the keys to the guard standing in the porche and went inside. “Hey Demitry, how are you brother?” Oliver greeted me in a fake cheerful tone while coming towards me. I scoffed internally while giving him a hug. “We need to talk” he whispered in my ear while hugging me but I didn’t react as my reaction could raise a suspicioun among the rest three sitting there and watch us like a hawk. We both came back to the couch and I sat down on the single seat. He went back to his previous spot beside Sasha. I didn’t look at her for once completely ignoring her an look at my uncle and aunt on the other side. My grandpa was sitting on the other single seat in front of me. “Good evening grandpa, how are you?” I asked him with a gentle smile on my lips. He also smiles back and asked, “I am fine, son. How was your trip?” I took a deep breath before answering him. “AS usual, exhausting and boring”, I replied to him while wrinkling my nose. Both grandpa and Oliver laughed to my comment while shaking their heads. “Where is Rehaana and your wife”, my face immediately went cold as soon as my aunt opened her mouth and I looked at her coldly.
