A promise: That changed my life

Chapter 51: Please

Anjali

"Just go, and answer the door before he gets more doubt. Esha is safe with me," Daniel assured me, and having no other option, I cleared the sweats from my face and I ran towards the door to open, praying for the safety of them.

Marcello smiled at me as I opened the door, he entered the room with his bodyguards. "Why did it take you so long to open the damn door?" He asks, observing the room and then me.

"I was in the kitchen, " I lied, as he walked over to the balcony, signaling his men to check every corner of the room.

He nodded, suddenly asking, "Ain't it's an amazing view, Anjali?"

I gulped my saliva in fear, hoping that Daniel had climbed down by now safely. I didn't want Marcello to catch him, the thin line of cement bricks was there between Marc and Danny, just one wrong of any one of them and we will be finished. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"I asked something!" He shouted, breaking my thought process.

I replied, dumbfounded, "Yes, it's beautiful,"

He chuckled meekly, " Good."

"Sir, No one is there, not even your daughter, " One of his men spoke, coming out from the bedroom.

"Now, tell me where's my little angel?"

"Please, Marc, don't involve her, " I begged, he turned towards me as his eyes flicked at my helplessness.

"You know what, I can assure you that I love Esha more than anyone in this world. But unfortunately, that little girl has to pay for your mistake."

"Please…"

"Where is she?!!"

"She's not with me, " I stated.

"I know that I want her location, where did you hide her?!" He shouted, flinching me back in ultimate fear.

"I won't tell you doesn't matter what! " I screamed back in hatred. He strides straight over to me as he clutched hand full of my hair in his, squeezing it tightly, making the Niagara fall of tear come down to my cheeks in pain, I grab his hand in the mere attempt of protecting myself.

"What do you think of yourself, huh? If you won't tell me, I won't be able to find her?! You have no one and nowhere to go! It won't take me long to reach her!" He snarled on my face, tightening his grip.

Suddenly a sound from the balcony caught his attention, "What's that?!" He asked, loudly, and made his way back to the balcony, I trembled on the ground as a wave of relief rushed over me for a mile seconds before he burst out in anger.

"That guy! Go and get him! My daughter Esha is with him!!!" He ordered his guards, they bowed to him and immediately ran to get that guy which I think is Daniel.

Oh no! They will catch him and everything will be over, I closed my eyes and prayed to God for the safety of them, I heard his footsteps approaching me again, I felt his hand clenching my arms as he threw me on the glass table, making the pieces of glass go inside of me, letting the blood slip from the side of my brain as well.

A Whine left my mouth in groovy pain.

He slapped me hard, saying, "He is your boyfriend, no! That's why you weren't opening the door to hide him!"

"H-he is not my boyfriend!" I manage to let out the words from my mouth.

He shook his head, furiously, pinching my chin to make me face him, "You're being an innocent girl, the act is over now! If he is not your boyfriend then who is he to you?! Huh?! Who is he?! Why is Esha with him?!!" He questioned.

"He is just my friend! Who is helping me to save Esha from a devil like you!" I yelled out, glaring at him with disgust.

He pushed me back on the floor, "Lie, this is just a lie!"

"Sir, here he is, " My heart hammered inside of me when his man told him that they got Daniel, I slowly got up in a sitting position with the help of my elbow only to see Daniel was all alone and struggling in their grips, his face was showing the fresh wound, and slight blood was the corner of his lips.

"Where is Esha, you bastard!" Marc yelled at him, smacking a punch on his face.

Daniel smiled meekly at him, "Where she should be," his response makes him more furious.

"You are not doing this right!"

"Karan bro is not picking up my calls, " Sunny stated, getting pissed off.

"What happened to Karan, is he that busy?" Maa sa questions.

"Karan bro never answers the phone calls during meetings, so it must be the case, " Kaya clarifies.

I sighed and turned back to Eshani, she was eating ice cream In Maa sa's arms it hardly has been an hour, and they both already developed a closeness, Maa sa looks too happy to have Esha around, she says kissing her cheeks, "If Karan had a daughter she must have been like this, So cute and pretty, " Maa sa tickles on her stomach, making her giggle, "I wonder, what helps this little girl wants from Karan,"

"I will give him a call, " I said, dialing his number and within a few rings, he responded.

"What's up, Adah?" He questions over the phone.

"I hope, I am not bothering you, "

"No, sweetheart, just say the matter, " He said, sweetly.

"Actually….." I told him everything I knew about Esha and how she reached us, he was silent for a brief moment, processing my words carefully, I heard him sigh before he spoke again.

"Adah, I have no idea about that girl as much as I know Daniel has a nephew, not a niece, but don't worry, I will be there 30 minutes, " He says, hanging up.

"He said, he will be here soon, " I told them as Sunny glanced at me suspiciously.

"What?" I asked.

"Why didn't Karan bro answer my calls but yours?"

"That's because You always interrupt him, but Bhabhi sa doesn't, so perhaps that's why, " Kaya taunts, smiling teasingly.

He rolls his eyes, "Whatever, " he ends the argument with that, not even trying to defend himself this time. After some time Karan shows up, hastily making his way to us, concern yet worry was clearly showing on his face.

"Karan sa?" I call out, standing from my place.

"So...where is she?" He questions, I indicated towards Maa sa, where Esha was seated, enjoying her time eating, sweets and desserts.

Karan nodded to me, wandering towards Esha with a smile, "Hey, " He calls her.

She looks at him with her sweet innocent eyes but as usual, she didn't respond to him at first, instead, she crawled in my arms, hiding her face behind my stole, "Esha, don't be shy, this is Karan, you came here for his help right? " I say, bringing her attention to him again.

"You are Karan, " She says in her baby voice which was more like a question, making Karan smile.

"Yes, that's me, princess, " He replies, kissing her knuckles. She chuckled in amusement.

"You think I am a princess?" She questions, innocently.

"Of course, I do, you are just like little Cinderella, "

She giggles, gleaming, " I believe you, "

"Thanks for believing in me, I am honored, princess," Karan bows his head, this time making us laugh as well," Now, tell me what help you wanted, "

She bits her lips for a few seconds, "My mom and Uncle Daniel are in danger, they need your help, " She finally revealed the truth.

Karan cocks his brow up, enlisting the fear in him, "What?? Where are they now?!"

"In the hotel, " Esha tells.

"In which Hotel, princess?"

'"Umm, I don't know, "

"How we'll know where her mother and Daniel are if she doesn't tell us the hotel name, we can't find every hotel, can we?" I questioned.

"Well-" Sunny suddenly cuts Karan off.

"I think I know, that taxi driver told me that he picked up Esha in front of the hotel grand dupes, " Sunny says, making Karan rose his brow again in confusion.
