Her Mysterious Lover

Falak’s POV

.

“No, Dad,” I screamed loudly because I really thought that he would kill Lance for saying something so stupid, but all of a sudden, Uncle came between Lance and dad. I didn’t see him reaching near Lance!

It might be because I was so engrossed in all the other things that I didn’t notice that.

“Step aside, Vyom,” Dad roared angrily.

But Uncle didn’t move an inch. Dad glared at him, but he stayed in his position, unaffected by dad’s angry glare. I was praying to god that because of this incident, they wouldn’t raise their hand to each other.

That would be the last thing in the world that I wanted to happen because if that happened, then the relationship between Dad and Aunt Pragati would come to be at stake; after all, Uncle was the husband of dad’s sister.

“Don’t worry, dad and Uncle won’t fight like kids.”, Mayan said, reading my thoughts; at the same time, he forwarded his hand toward me. I nodded and held his hand to stand on my feet.

“Blood is oozing from your elbow.”, Saira said, dusting my clothes.

“It’s fine. Nothing serious.”,

“It’s not fine. Mumma is going to take our class.”, She said in a worried tone.

“Well, you two really need one!” I muttered angrily, recalling what they did to Lance. And then I turned toward Dad and Uncle.

“We both know that he spoke those words which would have taken directly to the grave if I was you, but you believe in giving one last chance to everyone. He is just 22-23 years old, and this age is still not that late. If he wants, then he can change himself.”

“I’m not going to change.”, Lance resorted.

“Shut up, kid, if you don’t want to die today.”, Uncle hissed. Even I wanted to slap Lance for talking back even in this state.

“I can’t trust him.”, Dad said, glaring at Lance. “But I can’t say that a son of a criminal will also become a criminal.”, He added. He stared at Lance for a while, maybe thinking in his might about what he should do with him, and finally, after a moment, he spoke, “He will stay with me NOW.”

“I’m not going to stay with you.”, Lance answered back.

“I was not asking, Kid.”, Dad snapped and opened the rope from his hand. The very moment Lance’s hands got free, he tried to hit dad, but he swiftly held his hand and turned his hand.

“Aaaaaa”,

“BEHAVE. Otherwise, I know other ways to handle kids like you.”, He threatened, leaving his hand. He signaled the doctor to treat him.

“What did Lance say? Any useful information?” Uncle asked, sending Mayan and Saira home while he asked me to stay there.

“Nothing much. He said that his father had received someone’s call, which gave the details of Falak’s whereabouts. At first, his father was not interested in searching for her, but that anonymous person threatened Adhiraj that he would disclose his secret; since Lance was unaware of Adhiraj’s secret, he couldn’t understand that.”

“You meant to say that whoever that anonymous person was…he already knew me and had my details.”, I asked dad.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“HE had all your details and was also aware that Adhiraj had kidnapped you from somewhere, but HE was unaware you were my daughter. And as per Lance, he used to keep a tab of your activity; that’s why Adhiraj knew that you would be at that party. Not to forget, it was him who sent Lance here to keep an eye on you.”

“And Lance agreed to do something so stupid without even knowing him or her?”

“That LANCE is just right behind you. You guys are talking like I’m not here at all.”, Lance shouted. “He was even offering me money to do this work, but I didn’t take it because I had my own benefit from it. After all, he was giving me all your details, so I thought….”

“Leave it, Kid. We can already guess the rest of the story.” Uncle cut him in between. “That Bastard is clearly using Adhiraj and this idiot for his own benefit.”, Uncle added, looking at us.

“Do you know anyone who is so obsessed with your whereabouts? Or someone who hates you without your knowledge?” Dad asked on which I tried to recall everything from beginning to end.

I was not someone who ever picked a fight with anyone. So, I had no idea how this mysterious ENEMY came into the picture.

“Maybe this person can be Nicolaus Juan Diego?” I said more as I asked them in confusion because I wasn’t sure. “He always keeps an eye on Klaus’s movements, so it can also be possible that he will be doing the same to me. And Klaus had mentioned that he wanted to kill me.”, I concluded, recalling Lance’s accident. “But then we don’t have to worry about him because Dimitri already talked to him, and he said that he would stay away from my life.”

“And when did Dimitri talk with him?” Dad asked.

“The day before yesterday.”, I responded.

“And when did that anonymous person talk with you last time?” Dad asked, looking at Lance.

“The day before yesterday.”, Lance answered.

“Could this be possible that this two-person can be the same?” Dad asked Uncle, who was thinking something.

“Not sure. Just because a few incidents match, that doesn’t mean that whoever wants to hurt our princess is the same person. They can be TWO.”, He pointed out. “It’s better to confront Nicolaus.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go home.”

Third Person’s POV

.

A loaded gun was pointed at Nicolaus Juan Diego’s head.

“I… I will do it. I will do it.”, Nicolaus agreed. “I will…will tell Dimitri that it was me behind Lance’s accident, and it was me who shared Falak’s whereabouts to Adhiraj and all the rest of the things which you want me to do.”

“You better!”, The person sitting in front muttered and started playing with the gun. “One should never know a thing about me OR….”

“No one.. No one will come to know a thing. I promise you that just…just don’t harm my daughter and her unborn child.”

“I won’t. Until and unless she stays with Klaus.”, He muttered in frustration.

After a moment, as expected, Nicolaus received Dimitri’s call. He accepted all those things that he never did against Falak and gave his word not to cause any trouble in Falak’s life.

When Nicolaus disconnected the call, he looked at the person who was his BOSS. In front of the world, he was the leader but little did anyone know that he was just the face of the leader; someone else was the mastermind behind it. Nicolaus was nothing but a puppet of his boss’s finger.

Little did anyone know that the biggest ENEMY of Falak’s life was never the one who they assumed to be.
