Her Mysterious Lover

Falak’s POV

.

Next morning!

I reached near my dad to share everything with him instead of playing James Bond on my own. I meant I could have kept this new to myself but then…I wasn’t not experienced as much as he was. On the top, I was not irritating him because I needed some stupid doll or something. This matter could be serious as well.

“From when you’re feeling like this? I mean, like you are being watched?” Dad asked.

“Since last morning.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me about it yesterday itself? A lot of things could have happened in the last 24 hours?”, He asked, his jaw clenched. I lowered my head, not knowing what to say? If I would say that I felt like Klaus was keeping an eye on me, then he might have gotten more pissed than he was already!

“Don’t get angry with her, Aarvik. She might have thought that she would be overthinking or something.”, Vyom Uncle interrupted, trying to calm down my dad. “So, better we check the CCTV area rather than discussing why and when!”, He added.

“You’re right.”. Dad responded.

When mom found out about all this, she started giving numerous reasons that could happen yesterday while Pragati Aunty was cutting all her points by explaining the tight security of the palace because of the two reasons.

First, no one wanted any kind of problem in the marriage because of any reason.

Second, the bride was a mafia queen, so her safety was their responsibility.

So, there could be the chances that someone might have entered as any worker or caterer or someone else in the palace, but he or she couldn’t bring a thing from outside.

Dad’s eyes narrowed when he saw in the camera that I walked into a vacant room with Klaus.

Shit!

I started looking everywhere except for the face of my elders who were in the room.

“There he is.”, Everyone pointed out.

A person in a dress as a waiter!

I knew it.

“Zoom it.”

As the person handling the monitor zoomed in on the video as much as possible, I recognized that person.

Lance!

“Do you know him or seen him anywhere, Princess?” Vyom Uncle asked because Dad was too busy watching his activities on the monitor. I wanted to lie, feeling the murderous aura coming from him because it looked like he might kill Lance if I told him the truth.

“Your uncle is asking something, Falak.”, Mom said, touching my shoulder on which I nodded my head, looking at Vyom uncle. “Who’s he?”

“He is Lance, Adhiraj’s son.”, I responded.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“What were you two doing inside the room? Because it seems like either he was filming everything or capturing pictures.”, Dad asked, and that’s when I looked at the monitor, and dad was right.

“We were talking.”, I answered.

“I hate to ask you this, Falak. But I want to know the things in DETAIL.”, Dad said, stressing the last word. He might be thinking that something intense between Klaus and me, but it was nothing like that. I looked around and found that everyone was waiting for me to open my mouth. At that moment, I wanted nothing but the ground to open and swallow me inside.

I narrated everything that happened last night and made a mental note to close all the doors and windows from everywhere before any kind of intimacy.

“I don’t think he can use those pictures or video to harm her unless he edits it.”, Mom said.

“There can be another point of view as well, Love! He might be sharing all these things with someone else. Well, this is just my assumption because I believe there is no smoke without fire. How is it possible that this kid already knew where our Falak was? I mean, it took me 23 years to reach near Falak, and he found out the location of Falak in just 11 days.”, Dad concluded while my eyes were wide open at his ways of connecting all the dots together.

Mom softly hit my shoulder and whispered, “I know.”

“What?” I asked in confusion.

“That my husband, aka your father is too smart.”, She said and grinned. Even I couldn’t stop myself from agreeing with her.

Dad and Uncle watched each and every activity of the Lance after that. From the moment he entered the palace till the moment he left.

Without wasting time, Uncle Vyom dialed someone’s number and asked him to find Lance as soon as possible and stop him from leaving this country.

Could he do that?

After that, he sent some pictures of Lance to the anonymous guy.

“Did this Lance, Adhiraj’s son, treat you badly?” Dad asked softly, holding my hand.

“Umm.. uu..”

“Is he also the reason behind your nightmare?”, Yes, everyone knew that I had a problem with shouting, screaming, and crying at night, but they didn’t ask anything from me, knowing that Adhiraj would surely have treated me like shit!

“Dad, that was the past.”

“That’s not the answer to my question.”

“He…. he never used to raise his hand on me at home…but…but he used to bully me in the school.”, I told him truthfully. “He treated me like that because that’s what he learned from his parents, so please don’t punish him for the mistake which his parents had made.”, I requested.

“Don’t worry. I won’t raise my hand to him. I promise.”, He said, on which I smiled widely.

After an hour,

“My men kidnapped him. What do you want to do next?”, Vyom uncle asked.

“Kidnapped him?” I asked in surprise.

“Not kidnapped exactly, but we just forcefully abducted him and held him captive.”, He explained, to which I nodded my head, but when my mind registered his words. I realized that he just explained the meaning of kidnapping in another way.

Third Person POV

.

“Lance got caught, sir.”

“I should have known that. I had never thought that bitch could belong from such a strong background.”, The person in shadow hissed after sipping his drink.

“What now? I’m sure that Lance will tell them the truth.”

“Thankfully, he doesn’t know the whole truth. So, I’m less worried about that. What’s bothering me more is that I can’t do a thing against her while she has the power to turn my world upside down.”
