Her Mysterious Lover

Falak’s POV

.

I didn’t know what Jacob had done because, by the time I reached there, doctors and nurses were ready to attend Lance. So, they quickly took him to the operation theatre without creating any fuss.

I filled up the necessary documents, which were asked by a nurse. Since I had received my salary today, so my bank balance was in a good position. I deposited the amount for Lance’s treatment and paid all the bills.

“Ms. Srivastava,” I heard a familiar voice and found Jacob in his casuals at this hour. I didn’t want to admit it, but he looked…

Shut up, Falak! Pay attention!

“How’s he now?”, He asked.

“I don’t know. The doctor hasn’t shared anything about his condition yet.”, I responded. “Thank you so much, sir.”

“It’s fine. I didn’t do this for you, though. He’s my friend as well.”, He replied. At the same time, the doctor came out of the operation theater.

“How’s Lance, doctor?”

“He’s out of danger. Soon, we will shift him to the other room.”, The doctor informed.

“Thank you so much, doctor.”

“Please, thanks, Mr. Martinez. He is the one who made sure that your brother should be treated on priority.”, The doctor informed and on which I couldn’t feel grateful to Jacob anymore.

“Than…”

“Save it.”, He said, cutting me in between. He checked the time before speaking, “It’s too late. I think you should leave.”

“Sir…

“I will update you about his condition and won’t disclose your details in front of him. Just like you had requested me to do on the first day of our meeting.”, He again cut me in between before saying all thing. I nodded my head because I was going to tell him the exact same thing.

Because Lance was not a saint whose heart would transform after knowing that I saved his life, he hated me then, and he hates me even now. On top, I couldn’t trust him after all; he was the son of my kidnapper and had spent all his life with him; who knew even he would have the same thinking as my kidnapper?

After all, a wise person once told me that be good enough to help someone but don’t be stupid enough to fall into the trap that they had planned for you.

I took my phone out of my pocket and found one message from an unknown number.

“Where are you? It’s already nine.”

If I wasn’t wrong, then it could be HIS number. A smile broke on my lips, realizing that I had his number now.

“I’m sorry. Something came up. I will tell you everything when I’m home.”, After sending this text, I saved his number on my phone. The moment I stepped out of the hospital, my eyes landed on a familiar car.

So, he already knew that I was here.

I walked toward the car, and Albert came out from the front seat and opened the door for me.

“Thank you.”, I whispered.

“It’s my pleasure, Ma’am.”

“How did your date go with Maria?” I asked after settling in the car.

“It’s was great. It was so generous of sir. He planned a surprise date and asked me to accompany Maria there so that we could spend some time together.”

So, HE had set up this.

Did it mean that HE really kicked Maria and Alber out of the home at that moment so that he didn’t have to share the snacks cooked by me?

“So, Albert, do you like prawns and shrimp?” I asked indirectly without asking him about being allergic to seafood.

“Yes, Ma’am. I love them. I’m more into fishes than meat.”

So, he was indeed his setup. I shook my head, realizing how cute he was.

***

When I reached the apartment, Maria already knew where I was so she didn’t ask anything. After taking a long bath and wearing something comfortable. After dinner, Maria gave me a tour of the apartment because I couldn’t do that before because of the cuts on my legs. I was glad that the apartment didn’t have too many useless rooms. There are actually two bedrooms; the biggest one was occupied by me and another one by Maria. Then she took me to the study room where I could work in silence without getting disturbed by anyone because it was soundproof.

“Did you like it?”

“It’s beautiful.”, I replied, but deep down, I had a feeling that this place was not the one where I was going to live all my life.

Once I would find my parents, or they would find me, I would move with them. But then, what about HIM? What about US?

“You should get some rest now.”

“Yeah! Good night!”

“Good night!”

His POV

.

“It looked like this attack was for HER, but accidentally Lance fell into the trap.”

I rubbed my head in frustration, knowing he was right. I knew that bringing her into my life would put her life at stake.

“I have a plan!” I muttered.

“What is it?”NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

I started explaining everything to Albert. He nodded his head when he understood everything. “Great. By the way, did you bring what I have asked you to bring?”

“Yes, sir.”, He nodded again and gave me a packet of condoms.

“ALBERT!! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?”

“Sir, this is a condom. A thin rubber sheath worn on a man’s penis during sexual intercourse as a contraceptive or as a protection against infection.”, He said the definition of the condom as if I had no idea about it. I might be a virgin, but that didn’t mean I knew nothing about it.

“Albert, I asked to bring some BACON. How the hell did you hear CONDOM?” I asked in frustration.

Immediately the color of Albert’s face drained.

“I.. I couldn’t hear you, sir. And I was scared to ask you to repeat.”, He replied in fear. “Since Ma’am was going to stay here for a while….”

“Where’s my slipper?” I started looking here and there.

“I’m so sorry, sir!”

“You’re dead.”

“Please, sir!”, He pleaded and started running here and there the moment I found my slipper.
