Prologue
(11 PM at Night Angel Casino)
"Mr. Martin please don't play any further. you might lose everything you have." Jacob, Austin Martin's secretary was trying to stop his Boss from playing another gambling round after seeing his terrible condition.
"Boss has lost billions of dollars in gambling already, if he doesn't stop now he might lose the company and his entire wealth as well." Jacob thought deep inside and was trying to fill some sense into Austin's mind but all in vain.
After all the possible efforts when he couldn't do anything to stop his Boss, he called his last hope, Austin's daughter who could make him understand the consequences if he loses any more.
After continuous ringing finally someone picked up the call and Jacob felt a sigh of relief.
"Hello, Jacob." a sweet and soothing voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello Anna, please help me. " Jacob said in a hurry.
Before Anna could ask something he added "Your father is in Night angel Casino and lost almost every penny in gambling and now he is determined to put the company and house at stake."
"Wha....t?" Anna screamed and a terror can be felt in her voice.
She was lost in thoughts and remembered a few days ago her father promised her that he will not gamble anymore and will leave all his bad habits after losing her mother's jewelry in gambling.
Even today at the breakfast table Austin told her that he is going out of the city for some business purpose. She came out of her trail of thoughts when he heard Jacob's voice on the phone.
"Yes Anna, please do something. Please come here and talk to your father. " Jacob pleaded with her and was in a condition of kneeling down in front of anyone if he can stop this unfortunate series of happenings.
"Sorry Jacob, I can't help you. I'm leaving the home and the city forever." Anna said while sobbing in between her words. She couldn't believe it was her own father who broke the promise. She had immense faith in him that's why she forgave him when he lost her mother's jewelry a few days ago.
"Anna, listen to me. Don't make any decisions in an emotional state." Jacob tried to convince her to change her decision.
Deep down he knew how much she hated her father's Gambling habit.
"No, I can't stay with him anymore. He broke my trust into pieces. " She kept on crying and said "Please tell my father not to look for me anymore. I don't want to see his face ever again."
After pouring all her heart out, she hung up the call and switched her phone off.
On the other hand Jacob was in a great dilemma. He was confused about whom to stop first. He immediately rushed to his boss and told him everything that his daughter had said.
Later that night Anna stopped crying and gathered all her courage to pack her own belongings.
she took a backpack and stuffed a few of her dresses and necessary items with herself. After being satisfied with her packing She finally took out her wallet and counted the couple of thousands she had at that time.
she immediately kept the Wallet in her bag and left all her father's credit cards on the bed.
A few hours later.... Anna boarded a flight to New york city with a heavy heart and trembling legs.
