When Cleopatra opened her eyes, she found herself laying on the silk mattress, it's extremely soft and comfortable.
Imagine yourself Waking up in a stranger's house, but there is no look of fear on her face.
She rubbed her palm on her face and climbed down from the bed, she look out of the window and saw a heavy snowfall outside.
She grabbed her head then she look at the date, she opened her eyes after two days.
Cleopatra closed her eyes and two days ago incident appeared in her mind.
She was at Paris airport when she bumped into a man, she didn't look at his face but she remember him holding her in his arms. she fainted in his arms "Fuck....." She cursed and look at her clothes.
She is wearing a white shirt, but this shirt doesn't belong to her, it means this shirt belongs to the man who held her in his arms at Airport.
Cleopatra once again look around the room and found the closet on the right side of the room. She moves towards the room and opens all the cupboards.
All the closet is filled with expensive clothes, jewelry, and other accessories but there is no sign of her clothes in the closet.
She cursed and pulled out winter clothes from the cupboard, she can't go out of here in the cold weather, or else she'll die with coldness.
In five minutes she did her business and got ready to go out of her room.
And The moment she stepped out of the room, her breath stuck in her throat. She is in the house which is surrounded by huge mountains of snow and Maple tree, Oaktree, Pine tree, Birch tree, Spruce tree.
Cleopatra forgot to go down and move towards the huge window to look outside, she can see many local people, tourists, and kids are playing in the snow and enjoying the snow Rain.
Cleopatra put her palm on the cold glass, and start imagining Vikram and Kabir. She is in Mouthe, she knew this place because last time she visited this place with Vikram and Kabir. They had so much fun here and talk about this property where she is standing at this moment.
From this house, You can see the entire Mouthe views and the view of Mouthe is breathtaking.
"You are awake...." Cleopatra heard the enthusiastic sound of Baby, her body get tense to hear the baby sound.
She slowly twirl and saw an 8-year-old boy standing in front of her. He is wearing a cozy outside and his head is covered with a fur cap.
A guy is standing beside him and looking at Cleopatra from top to bottom. The boy runs towards Cleopatra and holds her hand, but Cleopatra pulled her hand back.
Her action made the little boy very sad, he move back towards the man and hold his hand tightly.
Cleopatra look at the man, "Where I'll find that guy who brought me here...?" Asked Cleopatra in her signature hard tone.
"He is attending the meeting downstairs..." Said The guy.
"Dad will be very angry with you if you disturb him, " said the little boy
Cleopatra didn't listen to his comment and looked at the guy, "is there any guy who can drop me out of this city?" Asked Cleopatra
"I think you should meet my boss before leaving, " said the man.
"I have no interest to meet your boss, " said Cleopatra and walk downstairs, she saw a man sitting on the couch and attending a meeting.
She stopped and start staring at the guy, and the guy also left his meeting and start staring at Cleopatra.
"Xavier Anderson....." Said, Cleopatra in a low tone.
Xavier got up from the couch, putting the file on the table.
He is staring at Cleopatra as if he knew her for many years, he slowly ambles towards her and in a few seconds, he stood in front of her.
"I need to get out of here, could you arrange someone who can drop me out of this city..." Asked Cleopatra but she got no reply because Xavier Anderson is so f*****g busy staring at Cleopatra.
She snapped her fingers in front of Xavier, that's when he made an uncomfortable face. "If you are done staring at me, then can we talk..." Said Cleopatra with a hard expression.
"You...you can't go out of the city because all the roads are blocked, " said Xavier and look at his son who is staring at them from the stairs.
Cleopatra chased Xavier's gaze and look at Xavier's son, then she turned her gaze back to Xavier.
Xavier also looks at Cleopatra "you can stay here until the roads get clear, once the weather gets better my men will drop you to your place..." Said, Xavier
Cleopatra ignored his suggestion and move towards the exit door, but the moment she opened the door, the gust of wind hit her face.
She cursed and stepped out of the house, she saw a snow scooter.
Cleopatra move towards that scooter, then she looks around. She saw many couples and kids playing in the snow and taking pictures.
Cleopatra sat on the scooter and speed her scooter towards the jungle area, where last time she visited with Kabir and Vikram.
Xavier's bodyguard moves towards Xavier with his son. "That place is very dangerous, last night I had seen some wolves there..." Said the bodyguard to Xavier in a worried manner.
"Send our few men behind her and tell Nina to make lunch for us..." Said Xavier fixing his shirt and moving upstairs towards his room.
"Will the Wolves eat mom?" Asked little Tommy to his bodyguard
"Don't worry, I am sending our men behind her, nothing will happen to your mommy...." Said The bodyguard.
"Can I also go with them..." Asked little Tommy but The bodyguard made a very uncomfortable face.
Little Tommy held the hand of his bodyguard very tightly and pleaded him with his eyes.
"Please, please let me come with you..." Tommy said in his low, baby tone, which can even melt Stone.
The bodyguard picked Tommy in his arms and kissed his cheek "let's go but if your Dad gets angry with me, then you have to save me from him..." Said The bodyguard.
Tommy nodded with a huge smile and kissed his forehead.
Cleopatra stopped her snow scooter in the middle of the white jungle, she look around and found all the trees covered in the snow.
She stepped down from the scooter and picked her snow in her palm. Suddenly that day appeared in her mind when Kabir first time slept with her to save her life.
Her heartache but she can't do anything. If someone else was at Kabir's she would give that person the most painful death for breaking her heart.
Cleopatra sat on the snow, even this heavy snow is unable to calm the burning heart. She is missing Kabir and Vikram so badly, but she can't go back not until she learned to calm her feelings and emotions.
Cleopatra knows Vikram loves her so much, and her every Pain affects Vikram as much as it affects Cleopatra. She does not want to burn Vikram with her in this pain, that's was the only reason why she planned to leave her country.
Cleopatra was lost in her thoughts when she heard the thief's steps, she got alerted and look around but she don't find anyone.
Cleopatra shoved her hand inside her turnover coat but she has nothing to save herself. She cursed because she forget to put any safety weapon into her pocket.
Cleopatra look at the scooter and pulled out of the rod from the back, she look around but still, there is no one. She closed her eyes and try to hear the sound
The foot sound is very different, before Cleopatra understands who is keeping eye on her, two bulky wolves jump onto her.
But Cleopatra was already prepared for that, she used the rod and stab one wolf very brutally when another wolf saw the condition of his fellow mate, he attacked Cleopatra's leg but she was wearing the heavy shoes which protected her from the sharp teeth of a wolf.
She was about to attack the second wolf as well but the squad of guards came with their scooters and sharp weapons to scare the wolves.
One wolf was injured badly, the other wolf didn't run into the jungle but sat beside the injured wolf and started crying painfully.
The group of guards told Cleopatra to come to them but Cleopatra's gaze is fixed on the injured wolf, she wasn't planning to hurt the wolf but that wolf attacked her suddenly and she was trained to attack her enemy.
Cleopatra move towards that injured wolf, everyone started yelling at her and telling her to move away but she ignored everyone and sat near the Wolf.
The other wolf growled once again in pain and anger but the wolf didn't attack Cleopatra.
Cleopatra touched that area where she stabbed the wolf, then she ruffled the fur of the other wolf who is growling in pain and anger.
"Tommy...Tommy comes back kid...." Yelled the bodyguard squad on the little kid, but Tommy ignored all the yelling and run towards Cleopatra with the first aid box.
Tommy sat beside Cleopatra and put the first aid kit in her lap, Cleopatra look at Tommy but his gaze is fixed on the wolf. He is looking very tense and his eyes are filled with pain.
Cleopatra is truly amazed to see the courage of little Tommy, but she didn't say anything to Tommy and turn her gaze back at the injured wolf.
Cleopatra touched the injured wolf once again but this time injured wolf tried to attack Cleopatra, but the other wolf calmed the injured wolf.
The bodyguard squad is stunned to see all the scenarios. they all are scared for Tommy and Cleopatra
"Do you guys have morphine injections or Chloroform infections?
" We have Heavy doze Chloroform injections but not any morphine..." Said the chief bodyguard.
"Dad has everything...." Said Little Tommy to Cleopatra holding her hand once again, this time Cleopatra didn't push his hand.
Gathering all the courage, The chief guard moves towards Cleopatra and Tommy.
"I need a few things for the treatment of this animal," said Cleopatra
The chief guard picked Tommy in his arms and look at Cleopatra, "I think we should leave from here, they can on attack us...." Said the chief guard.
"Take the baby with you and bring the few medicines and bandages...." Said, Cleopatra and took his phone from his hand.
She looks at the chief guard, he unlocked his cell phone, Cleopatra wrote what she needed to treat the wolf.
"But I want to stay with you, please don't send me with him...please..." Little Tommy begged Cleopatra, she become stunned to see Tom's behavior towards her but she turned her back to him.
"Leave...." Said Cleopatra in a hard tone.
The chief guard doesn't want to leave but he has no other option, he told the squad to stay near Cleopatra and protect her if any animal attacks her.
Tommy started crying loudly, he spread his arm in the air for Cleopatra
But Cleopatra didn't look at Tom.
She used the Chloroform injection and injected it into the injured wolf's body.
because of the painful cry of the other wolf, more wolves come out of the jungle but no wolf dares to attack Cleopatra but all the wolves staring at her from the distance.
Cleopatra opened the first aid and used the cleaning medicine to wipe the blood, she get a clear view of the injury.
She cursed loudly to see the deep injury, she search the needle and thread to stitch the wound but she don't find any needle and threat.
Cleopatra's gaze fell on the other wolf, who has tears in its eyes. That wolf's tears remind Cleopatra of Vikram and Kabir and her heart clenched in pain.
The chief guard came back but this time Xavier was also there with him.
Xavier snatched the box out of his bodyguard's hand and move towards Cleopatra with very serious expressions.
Xavier sat near Cleopatra, and start examining the wound, suddenly Cleopatra snatched the box from Xavier's hand and pulled the morphine injection out of the box.
She injected that morphine into the injured wolf then start working on stitching the deep wound of the wolf.
Xavier stares at Cleopatra with astonishing expressions, Cleopatra can also feel his gaze on her face but she didn't make any comment on his action.
Xavier injected something inside the wolf, then helped Cleopatra to put the bandage around the wolf's wound.
The injured wolf is laying on the white snow like a dead body and his blood is looking so alluring on the white sheet of snow.
Xavier's bodyguard threw the meet towards the wolves so they don't attack them but no wolf touched the meet because all the wolf's gaze is fixed on their injured fellow wolf.
"We did our job, now we should leave..." Said Xavier getting up from the snow.
"You are free to go anywhere, I'll stay until the wolf gets up..." Said Cleopatra in a plain tone.
She isn't feeling any pain for the injured wolf neither she is feeling guilty but she wants to feel all these emotions, she wants to become a normal girl just like Niharika.
"Are you f*****g out of your mind, you can't stay here. " Xavier yelled on Cleopatra but the moment Cleopatra turned her hard electrifying gaze towards Xavier, he almost forget to take a breath.
He had never seen such a hateful intensity in someone's eyes before, her eyes are looking so cold and deadly.
Xavier didn't remove his gaze from her but her gaze is simply telling him
'Don't dare to interfere in my business or I won't hesitate before killing you...'
Xavier turned his gaze towards the wolves, all the wolves are standing in their positions in an alert manner but no one is attacking them. This behavior of wild snow wolves is very astonishing for everyone. if they tell this behavior of wolves to the people no one would believe in them.
After two long hours, the injured wolf open its eyes, Xavier held the hand of Cleopatra and step back with her because all the clans of wolves are moving towards the injured wolf.
All the wolves howl together, no one understands why they are howling but now they can go back to the house because now they knew that the injured wolf Is fine.
Xavier releases Cleopatra's hand and throws the dead rabbit meat towards the injured wolf, that meat contains medicine that will help the injured wolf recover faster.
Cleopatra moves towards her snow scooter and speeds her scooter back towards the Xavier home.
Xavier and his men chased Cleopatra, she stopped the scooter in front of Xavier's home and move towards the local city which is far from Xavier's house. But the local transport was available so her journey to the local city would not be difficult.
Xavier and his men stare at Cleopatra but no one dares to stop her, Chief guard turns his gaze towards Xavier
"Don't you want to stop her..." Asked the chief bodyguard.
"She isn't my Ann, so why should I stop her," said Xavier, moving inside the mansion. He can hear the crying and yelling sound of his little Tommy whom he locked into his nursery.
"You knew that she is not your wife, yet you took her here and went to the forest to help her where you lost your Ann, " said the Cheif guard and move towards Tommy's nursery
When the chief opened the door, he found Little Tommy crying near the door for his mommy.
Chief tried to calm little Tommy but Tommy is giving hard time to the chief. Xavier looked at his crying son whose eyes are looking red and puffy
Xavier turned his gaze in the other direction and move upstairs to clean his bloody hands.
"I want to go to my Mommy, I don't want to stay here... Take me to her please....please take me to her...." Little Tommy started pleading to the chief guard.
Seeing Tommy in pain the chief guard's heart started aching in pain, for the past seven years this little boy has been living with Xavier's hate. because Ann died saving her son from the wolves in the same jungle where Xavier went to treat the injured wolf with Cleopatra.
"Your mom doesn't remember anything, she doesn't even know that you are her son. Tommy once your mom would get better, she'll come back to you..." The chief guard assured Tommy but Tommy don't want to listen to anything, he wants to go to his mother. He waited so long for his mother and now he can't stay away from her.
"Ok I'll take you to her, but you'll not tell her that she is your mom, " said Chief to Tommy, that's when little Tommy stopped crying.
but right now the biggest problem is where he'll find her, the chief guard doesn't even know Cleopatra's name neither does he find anything in her pocket which can help him to identify her.
"I promise I'll tap my mouth around mommy but please take me to her, please..." Said, Little Tommy.
Guard cursed himself in his mind and told Tommy to wear his other overcoat because the outside weather is so cold.
Tommy enthusiastically runs towards his room to wear another overcoat, you can see the excitement on little Tommy to meet his mother but that excitement is hurting the chief guard because he knew Cleopatra isn't Tommy's real mother.
What if Cleopatra tells Tommy all the truth? What if she breaks Tommy's, innocent heart. By her face, Cleopatra looks so heartless but Tommy's real mom was so soft-hearted.

(Trios Mansion)
Two days without Cleopatra were nothing less than hell for Kabir. It's getting difficult for him to even breathe peacefully.
Kabir looks around and imagines Cleopatra in every corner of their mansion. He had not even eaten food for the last two days.
Kabir was lost in his thoughts when he heard the sound of Parth "Are you going somewhere, Boss...? " asked Parth to Vikram, because Vikram is holding a luggage bag in his hand.
"Yes, I am going to Australia for four days because of a deal, take care of Kabir behind me, " said Vikram but before he step towards the exit door, Kabir held Vikram's hand.
"Please don't go like this Vikky, I know what I had done with Angel was wrong but I need you with me, I need your help to find our Angel..." Said Kabir almost in a pleading tone but Vikram angrily pulled his hand out of Kabir's hand and look into his eyes with so much rage.
"My heart wants to empty all the bullets of my gun inside your chest but I am helpless because of Angel because she f*****g loves you so much..." Said Vikram and angrily walk out of the mansion.
Kabir closed his eyes, he never felt this much pain before. His one mistake take him here where he lost everything in just a blink of an eye.
The girl and the guy he loved the most in this whole world, left him alone. Kabir can't accuse Vikram and Cleopatra of anything, because he knew he is responsible for his pain.
"For which deal did Vikram go to Australia?" Asked Kabir but Parth made an uncomfortable face.
"He isn't going to Australia for any deal but he is going to save Davis carter, last heir. Yesterday Davis called Cleopatra for this work and in return, he is ready to give 50℅ shares of his empire to us..." Said Parth to Kabir with serious expressions.
The ground slipped under Kabir's feet, shock and anger both appeared on his face at the same time.
"The Russian mafia is behind Davis Carter, and the Russians are our best friends. If Vikram saves Davis's last heir, we'll make the Russians our enemy...Has Vikram gone mad, how can he do this?" Yelled Nell in tension and frustration.
He was already worried for his monster and now Vikram gave him another big tension.
"Yes Vikram has gone mad and you are the reason for his madness." Said Parth
Kabir passed hard glare to Parth " Vikram knew this work was risky that's why he agreed to do this work.
he is confident that if Queen comes to know about this decision of Vikram, she will surely come back to protect him from Russian, " said Parth.
Kabir kicked the table so hard in rage, all the items fell on the floor and shattered into tiny pieces.
"It's highly f*****g risky, he can lose his life and those f*****g Russians are highly dangerous... Damn Monster...." Yelled Kabir.
"Calm yourself, Kabir, you can't lose your temper like this..." Said, Sultan but Kabir shook his head.
"Get my bags ready, I am also going to Australia..." Said Kabir
Sultan and Parth made worried faces and stare at Kabir "you can't leave like this, Cleopatra and Vikram aren't here so you have to handle all the responsibilities of our Clan until they both come back..." Said Parth.
"Nothing is important for me more than my family, not even this Mafia empire..." Said Kabir in a harsh tone
The Sultan knew that there was no use in arguing with Kabir, so he quietly walked towards the closet to pack Kabir's clothes.
Kabir stepped into the meeting hall and found all their men and partners sitting on the couches and enjoying their drinks.
Everyone got up to see Kabir and greet him with respect. Kabir made himself comfortable on the head chair and look at everyone, Parth also walked into the hall and stand beside Kabir.
"I have to go out of town for a week for some urgent work, so in my absence, Sultan and Parth will take care of our business...." Everyone made faces to hear Kabir's words.
"But Vikram is here so why can't he handle the work. ? " asked one of their partners to Kabir.
"Both Vikram and Cleopatra are out of the country for some work, so they will not be able to deal with anyone, but Sultan and Parth are here to deal with all urgent matters." Said Kabir and got up from the chair.
"How can you guys leave the work to your local men at this point? It's not a game but a business of life and death. " said one of the men looking into Kabir's eyes with anger.
Kabir pulled his gun out and was about to shoot that man who screamed at him but Parth raised Kabir's hand and the bullet hit the ceiling.
Everyone got shocked and horrified to see Kabir's behavior, "You are angry Kabir, You Should leave I'll deal with them..." Said Parth and look at Sultan
Sultan moves towards Kabir and takes him out of the hall.
"What happened to you Kabir, you were about to shoot Balveer. You know if anything happens to him all the local gangs would stand against us," said Sultan to Kabir in a very calm and gentle tone.
"So what else should I do?" Screamed Kabir on sultan in anger.
"Calm yourself first Kabir, your anger can neither correct your mistakes nor will it correct what you have shattered with your own hands..." said Sultan patting Kabir's shoulder.
"I can't lose Vikram and my monster Sultan, both of them are not only my family but my life." Said Kabir as a normal helpless guy.
Sultan got so stunned to see this side of Kabir but he knew how much Vikram and Cleopatra matters in his life.
"I packed your luggage, the chopper is waiting outside for you..." Said Sultan to Kabir with a smile.
Kabir look at Sultan then uses the same exit door which Vikram used to go out of the mansion.
...................................................................................
Mouthe (In France) :
Cleopatra stepped into the city and found herself in the crowd. Right now she doesn't have a single penny and no place to go.
The weather of Mouthe is very cold that can freeze anyone's bone. Cleopatra has been out for a long time and this cold weather is making her ill. She is feeling a mild headache and got many frozen bits on her hand.
Cleopatra cursed herself for coming here without money, Xavier offered her to stay at his home for a few days but because of Xavier's gaze and his little son, she is here standing in the cold weather and waiting for her death.
Cleopatra was so lost in her thoughts when she suddenly felt two soft arms wrapped around her leg.
When she looked down, she found Xavier's son standing near her and hugging her cold legs.
"what are you doing here in such a cold, " asked Cleopatra looking at Tommy but he didn't reply to her.
Cleopatra's tone was very rude but there is no fear on Tommy's face even he has a breathtaking smile on his tiny beautiful lips.
Cleopatra look around and found Xavier's bodyguard standing near the stall and staring at them with so much love.
She understood that there is something off about Xavier's family. The way Xavier was staring at her and holding her hand with fear, was so wired for Cleopatra.
But Cleopatra thought it better to ignore this topic because she has a bigger problem than this right now.
Cleopatra is suffering from a cold and is feeling very hungry because she has not eaten anything for two days.
Cleopatra needs some money to reach her place and she can only get this money from Xavier's body.
Collecting money wasn't a tough task for Cleopatra, she could kill anyone and rob that person's pocket but she come here to become a good girl, and a good girl doesn't kill anyone.
Cleopatra held Tommy's hand and move towards Xavier's bodyguard.
"Let's sit somewhere and talk...." Said Cleopatra, her words stunned Xavier's bodyguard but he instantly covered his expression with pain expressions.
They all walk into The cozy restaurant, Tommy didn't leave Cleopatra's hand even for a second.
Tommy's behavior towards Cleopatra is making her feel so wired because this is the first time when she encountered any kid, who is showering so much love and affection on him.
Cleopatra ordered loads of food for herself then she look at Tommy who was already staring at her with a smile.
"would you please stop staring at me, its weird and irritating," said Cleopatra to Tommy in a rude tone.
"He is a small kid, you should softly talk to him, " said Xavier's bodyguard but when Cleopatra passed her hard gaze to the guard, he shut his mouth.
"Sorry...." Said Tommy in a low tone and start looking at his fingers.
"What would you like to have in snacks...?" This time Cleopatra asked Tommy in a very soft manner, this tone she only use with Kabir and Vikram.
"boeuf Bourguignon, steak frites, blanquette de veau, duck confit, cassoulet, bouillabaisse, and coq au vin, " said Little Tommy.
Cleopatra hold her head, Tommy took the name of every dish in French and Cleopatra does not know the French language.
Cleopatra called one of the waiters near her and told Tommy to repeat the name of every dish, Tommy did what his mother told him to do, then the waiter left to bring their order.
Cleopatra look at Xavier's bodyguard "Xavier Anderson and his son is taking too much interest in me, what's the matter?.....(Xavier's bodyguard made an uncomfortable face...) Don't you dare to lie to me because I hate liars..." Said Cleopatra in a warning tone.
"Tommy sees his mother in you, so I want you to be his nanny for some time." Said Xavier's bodyguard.
" help me to reach The 7th arrondissement and I'll happily become his nanny.... " said Cleopatra.
"The 7th arrondissement, " asked Xavier's bodyguard once again because Xavier's mansion is situated at the same place and that is the most expensive area of entire France, from this area you can get a clear view of the Eiffel Tower.
"May I know......" Before Xavier's bodyguard ask any question from Cleopatra, she showed her palm to him.
"I love to keep my personal life very personal, so mind your own business and tell your decision...." Said Cleopatra and passed a chocolate muffin to Tommy.
"How I can trust you, you are a stranger what if you double-cross me after reaching The 7th arrondissement," said Xavier's bodyguard.
"You have no other choice Mr," said Cleopatra in a confident tone, at the same time waiter arrived with their food.
The waiter put the food in front of Cleopatra and Tommy. She picked the bowl of her soup and salad then she look at the waiter.
"Bring some sweet dish as well, " said Cleopatra but realized that she isn't at her home.
"Don't bring any sweet dish..." Said Cleopatra to the waiter and shoved the full spoon of salad into her mouth.
The thought of Kabir and Vikram is bothering her too much. It was difficult for Cleopatra to come away from Kabir and Vikram, but it was also necessary. She wanted to give some time to herself, but now she is feeling very weird and hurt.
Cleopatra put the spoon back into the plate and closed her eyes,
" I always take bad decisions in anger..." She said in a loud and clear tone.
