You Awoke A Beast in ME!

Chapter 8

Aryan’s POV

I walked out of the bath and was now standing before the mirror when my eyes followed the reflection of a subtle beauty wearing my formal shirt and trousers. They were literally hanging on her slim silhouette. God! Can she stop being this cute? It just gets harder and harder to concentrate when she’s around. I jerk my head from her and got busy drying my hair.

" last night I remember ordering some clothes for you, so why did you wear that? “,

I was trying to not look at her directly as I was standing before the mirror and she was behind me yet, her reflection in the mirror was just preventing me from diverting my gaze.

" those skimpy clothes? Please! “, she said rolling her eyes at me.

" what’s wrong with them? Plus you are a girl you know? “,

" first of all, who goes out wearing nighties in broad day light? Also, didn’t you say I’m your fiance? So that would make me an equal owner of the things you own. So stop being a dim wit jerk! “,

She was gleaming like a diamond, her satisfactory smile was the evidence of her victory over me but, this was not over yet. She let’s her guard down too soon. I smiled dropping the towel from my hand and turned towards her. She was busy trying to tie her hair into a bun when I pulled her closer to me. I was wearing a shirt and trousers but my buttons were not done yet. She must have seen that and immediately averted her gaze trying to act calm.

" so you agree that I’m your fiance?“,

I whispered in her ear gently and moved away, she had her head lowered trying to hide her blushing cheeks. I winked at her claiming my victory.

" I... I want to ask something “,

She said, staring at her feet.

" what is it sweetie? “,

" why was it me? What file was that person asking for? “,

I was in such a good mood until, her questions stabbed me like a dart. I cannot tell her about that. She is innocent and letting her know about this would only risk her safety. I know that what business I’m into involves many risks but that has never spilled the blood of innocent. I wanted to look at her once before I left the room but I averted my eyes and walked straight out.

" wait! I want to know! “,

She followed to the door before I closed it behind me. I gave the instructions to the maids and left the house. It would be better if you don’t get involved Meera

Meera’s POV

Jackass! He left me here just like that without answering a single question. I sighed and opened the door to find a maid standing with a tray of breakfast.

I took the tray and placed it on the table. I smiled at the maid and tried to start a conversation with her.

" Hello! My name is Meera, thank you for taking care of me”,

I was greeted by silence, the lady gave me a warm smile while handing me a note which read ′ I am sorry, but I’m deaf and dumb, I’m glad to meet you too’ .

"oh, I’m sorry, actually, I want a computer, I have some work you see...“,

That’s right, she is deaf, so I wrote it down for her to understand. She directed me towards a hall. Well, I must say this is not a house but a mansion. The hall that I entered had huge racks of books. It was a whole library! I turned around to thank the lady but she was gone. Creepy, I didn’t even know her name. Anyways it’s not like I am going to stay here forever. I opened the browser to search few articles when I stumbled upon the flash news.

‘6 dead bodies have been recovered which have been murdered under suspicious circumstances. Among the 6, one of them belonged to Mr. Danish, the most wanted in the drug smuggling case and other crimes’

Oh my god! So the guy who was firing bullets was actually a most wanted criminal? How did he get to my apartment last night? And why was he searching for me? That’s when it struck me, he was asking about some file. I don’t know what file he was asking about, man! I was frustrated, this unknown man could have killed me and no one would have known about it. But, what was he talking about? What file? That’s when my phone rang making me jump. Mr.Krishnan’s name flashed on my phone. I picked it up.

" Hello? “,

" hey, Meera? Are you alright? “,

" yes sir, I’m fine”,

" Meera, listen to me carefully, we know that you were attacked by few men last night. Here’s the thing about last night, it seems that your fiance has some crucial information about this illegal deals and the people involved in it. I guess that was the file that many are in pursuit of”,

" but sir, it’s totally impossible for me to get or even find that file because that would include Aryan’s deals as well. And I am not sure if he has it. Even if he did have it, why would he give it me? Knowing the fact that I’m a journalist struggling to unmask his deeds “,

" Meera, sometimes the key is found in the most obvious place because that is the place one never suspects “,

Wait does that mean the file is here? Even if it is, how do I find it? I’m not even sure as to what is it in the file.

" Meera, there are many leads in the file that can expose the most unpredictable scandals of the world, also, once you get your hands on it, chances are your life will be in danger as many might try to silence you forever. Just be careful and also, from now on, I am cutting off the contact with you, I have accepted your resignation and your personal information has been erased from the database. This way your identity will be kept from being exposed. Also, if you want to communicate with me, that has to be done through Tor. Last but not the least, take care! “,

These shocks keep coming back, I wonder what should I do now?
