Chapter 9 - Chapter 8

Marin has a friend named Alacia. She decided to express all her feelings and discoveries to her. She had contacted her through her mobile phone and told her that she would come to her house for an urgent help. She believed that she could find any solution to the problem.

Actually what made Marin serious was the return of Paigne and she didn't know why Paigne killed her own father. She contacted her bestie Lavan for many times but there was no response from him. She didn't have any contacts of Greyson, Lavan's brother. She had her breakfast at 8.30 am. Her father and Jake had gone to their works. Milan took over the ownership of the industries.

She told her mother that she would be going to meet Alacia. She decided not to tell about the discoveries in Franklin's mobile. She tried to look normal.

While she was taking her shoulder bag with a few notes, just to show that she was going for a study matter, a question crashed her mind.

If Paigne is alive, then where will be her husband? She knew that Paigne and her son were dead in a house which was blasted due to a leakage in the cylinder. But Paigne came back and where is Paigne's husband and her son?

She made up her mind to ask this matter to her mother. Her mother Rossy was in the kitchen. "Mom" Marin called. Rossy looked at her and waited for her question. "Mom, can you tell me the name of Paigne's husband?"

Rossy stared at her daughter for a second. She didn't know why Marin asked that. Then she replied, "His name is William Dravid."

Marin nodded and realized that her mom's eyes were filled with suspicions. She said goodbye and left the house. She had a scooty and she loved to travel in it. She started her journey to Alacia's house. On the way she cursed herself for not asking about the death of William Dravid.

Several kilometers away from the heart of Chennai, in a two storey building which was painted brown, Marin was sitting in a chair. Her hands and legs were tied up firmly with ropes.

She was sitting there for nearly thirty minutes. She was in the first floor of the house. When she opened her eyes she realized that she was kidnapped by someone.

She just tried to remember the last incidents in her life.

She asked her mom the name of Paigne's husband, then when she was driving in her scooty, she noticed that there was low amount of petrol left and so she went to a petrol bunk and to her surprise it was empty, and when she stopped her scooty near to the fuel dispenser she found the man with the gas pump handle. She recognized the man at once. He was the man who was met by her at the tea stall which was opposite to the Harry's restaurant. It was Lima. Marin was taken up. But before she could react, she realized a hand with a cloth being kept on her mouth from her back. Then she went unconscious.

She came back to her consciousness just a few minutes ago. She yelled for help. But that had gone in vain. She was in a room, a hall and she noticed her surroundings. The walls were painted olive green and there were several photo frames.

Marin was shocked on seeing the photo which was near to the wall clock.

She knew that it was the same photo which was found by her in Franklin's wardrobe. She recognized other photo frames and realized the truth behind her kidnap.

She was in Paigne's house.

She wondered why Paigne kidnapped her. She was afraid that she would be killed like her grandfather. She noticed a man emerging from the stairs. She hadn't seen him before.

He was carrying a glass of water in his hands and extended it to Marin. Marin grew angry at this man. She wanted to yell at him for kidnapping her. She suspected that he would be the man who placed a cloth on her face and kidnapped her. The man smiled and placed the glass of water on black glass stool which was placed opposite to Marin's chair. The man took his seat on a sofa, which was several feet away from Marin. He didn't speak at all and finally Marin spoke in anger.

"Hey why did you kidnap me?" Marin knew that because of anger the man would kill her instantly. But the man gave a smile and said, "Wait a minute." A minute had passed and another figure appeared from the ground floor through the stairs. It was a lady.

Marin's heart slipped on seeing the woman. She was the one who killed her own father and she looked villainous. She was holding something in her hands and on seeing it Marin hardly inhaled.

The woman was Paigne and she was holding a gun. She placed the gun on the glass stool and took her seat on a chair which was opposite to Marin. Marin was dumb struck on seeing all this.

She knew that her grandfather had known about his daughter and he sent a message to Henry. Marin was not relieved from that case. And before she could finish that case with her friend Alacia, now she was near to the doors of death. She didn't know what to do. She just shook her head in shock and searched for words. After all Paigne is like her mother. How could Paigne kill her? "How are you Marin?" Paigne asked Marin. Marin didn't know what to tell. She didn't reply. Paigne went on, "Nearly fifteen years had passed when I saw you as a six year old child".

"How did you die then?" Marin asked desperately.

"Oh I'm alive Marin" Paigne said as she laughed for no reason. Fatan, who was sitting several feet away from them too laughed. Marin felt disgusted sitting there and watching these inhumane creatures. Then Paigne gazed at Marin curiously. Suddenly as if an ant had bitten her she rose from her seat. She said, "Do you know how your grandfather did, I mean my father die?"

Marin didn't waste a second. She knew that Franklin was killed by Paigne. She said, "You are the one responsible for his death!"

Paigne's face turned pale on hearing that. She didn't know that Marin knew the reality. She thought that she could break the truth. She said, "How did you know that?"

Marin confirmed herself that she was right. She thought of lying to Paigne but she told the truth, "Actually my grandfather knew that he would be killed by you. That's why he sent a message to Henry." Paigne considered for a moment and said, "We know that too"

Those words stopped Marin's breathing for a second. "How did you know that?"She asked in tension. Paigne didn't reply to her and went closer to Fatan and said, "Will it be over?" Fatan gazed at his watch and said "Couple of minutes left"

Marin sat behind hopelessly.
