Three years back...
Aaric Smith has already strengthened his roots in countries like New York and France for his business. Since the company's internal matters were all resolved, he felt that it was the time to bring his love to a new adventure in life.
He headed back to London and straight away after arriving, he went to the orphanage where they first met. Unexpectedly he found that a few weeks back there was a false fire alarm and all the gates were opened for children to evacuate. Even though most of the children were brought back, still seven children were missing. And on top of that among all the seven children only one was a boy, otherwise rest were all girls.
After cross checking the files, it was confirmed that including Sasha, two more girls around the same age of hers and other four children under the age of ten were missing. As it was a small orphanage so the government of the small city or any other sectors did not lend them a helping hand in fastening the searching process.
This was something which was a huge shock for Aaric. Just before his return, things turned out to be all wrong for him. With his contacts he was quick enough for the parties and government officials to take a note about such incidents.
"We can send a bunch of officers in every possible remote or urban area around the orphanage to search for them." One of the top government officials sitting on the opposite side of Aaric spoke up after much hesitation. The world business tycoon was sitting in front of him, no matter how high one's post might be but offending somebody as powerful as Aaric would be the last mistake one would commit.
"It's been a month since that incident happened. How come the security and laws of this city has been so lenient?" Aaric's cold voice send shivers down their spine of the people sitting in his office. He looked at each and every one's face to find any clue whether anyone was linked to it or not.
Even though it could be considered a small coincidence but somehow Aaric felt that it was more than that. He was sure of his gut feeling which was popping a series of questions and doubts in his mind relating all this.
"Sir, I have gotten this file which clearly states that since the past five years a person has often visited the orphanage to take madam's custody. It cannot be a coincidence that you left the orphanage five years back too." Remo's reports were always accurate and correct so Aaric didn't need to recheck. The instant Aaric heard Remo's analysis, his suspicion indeed came true.
Starting from the call he received from the old house to this false fire alarm and Sasha's missing, everything became clear to him. Someone was indeed trying to keep them apart so that the person involved will take his plan into action and would then try to harm Sasha.
Since many things and people around Aaric were involved in this, he could not trust anybody just like that. He had to take his every step in the dark, hidden from the eyes of others. At Least he needed to be cautious till he ensured that Sasha might be safe.
"Remo I want that person in our hands at any cost. Make sure he is alive enough to survive my tortures." Aaric let out a devilous laughter after commanding. Did they think that this was their turf? That too they attempted to harm his beloved. Aaric won't be that 'Devil' which everyone thinks of if he did not punish those people who tried to harm her. Even the people who were involved, he was not going to spare them.

At present…
"How did you get involved in all that?" Amanda's soft voice sounded beside Alleyn's ears.
He lowered her gaze and looked at the woman who was leisurely sleeping in his arms and looking at him with a serious expression on her face.
"He seized one of the member of the group involved in Sasha's kidnapping. So he called me to make him inject with the drug I created back then."
"Drug? What kind of drug?" Amanda was beyond shocked when she heard her husband. She never knew he could make such things too. She was too astonished to hear her husband's words that her eyes were almost fully widened.
"After injecting that drug would make that person like a puppet. It's just like hypnotising but you can say that this drug has much stronger effects than hypnotism." Alleyn was indeed involved in a lot of research and in creating new medicines and drugs. Though these drugs were not directly available to the market but one with high authorities especially a person who was in link with the Walker family or with the Smiths.
In this world full of hypocrites, one could never trust anyone. So at a time when Alleyn was having such a powerful thing was indeed a very dangerous thing in itself. Since the Walker family never associated themselves with just anyone, Alleyn was much more confident about the privacy of his creations. And the rest which was about the Smiths, he would not even have to check background details if those people, as Aaric had already made sure that those people will never be the one who will try to harm his friend.
