"WHAT?" Cabie screamed.
The guy smirked.
"Wh- what is its meaning" She trembled "Why is my dad tied up on the chair in this photograph" She continued in fear.
"Your dad is now captured by our boss." He said in a cold tone "And if you don't obey what boss asked you to do then... you know better " he smirked.
"What do I have to do?" She asked seriously.
The guy whispered in her ears.
"What, but why? " She spoke
"Just do what boss said or else..." The guy gave her a horrific look
"No, no need to do anything to my dad. I will. I will do as you taught" She said shakingly.
"Good for you and your dad" he praised "Also..." paused
"What else?" She tensed
"Leave the city today " The guy ordered
Cabie's jaw dropped "Are you gone mad or something? Why will I have to leave the city?" she irritated.
"Don't worry it's for twelve days only. " He explained.
"Twelve days? But why, tell me" She curiously asked
"Tsk... you speak a lot girl. " He taunted
Cabie fumed at his attitude
"If my dad's life wasn't in David's hand, I would have blown his head off his shoulders, Right now right here. " She thought inside. Her eyes turned red in anger and were biting her teeth.
"Woah girl calm down, I'm scared of your scary gaze already pfft---!" He made fun of her "Leave now, this cafe and the city today "
He stood up from the chair and left Cabie in her condition.
Cabie was shaking in anger and looking at him till he disappears from the cafe.
"Let my dad free. Then I will show who am I."
She spits her anger left the cafe too.

At Roy's mansion
"Uncle, I have to leave today, thank you for the great hospitality. " Cabie informed and bow down.
"Hmm" Mr. Roy takes a sip of tea and ignored her.
But Mr. Jackson was concerned "But why, and where will you live?"
"Ah- uncle it's fine. It's only about ten or twelve days actually dad had some meetings. He is already out " Cabie explains.
"Out? where?" Mr. Jackson questioned
"Berlin" She answered
"Ohh---! Then, my daughter go safely" He pats Cabie's head and is permitted to go.
"Thank you uncle, see you soon." Cabie bow down and left.
As soon as she turned around her facial reaction also changed from a sweet innocent girl to a devil.

... Meanwhile...
"The documents are saying that the owner of this apartment was David, and James brought it on twenty third of February," Ash explained to Marleen.
"Hmm, I can see" Marleen checked the documents.
"Twenty-third February means the next day of David's murder," Marleen thought to herself.
"Hey, what's up on your mind" Ash snapped at her behavior.
" CNN... Nothing, I want to meet this James" Marleen ordered.
"Alright, then let me call that Jones" Ash said.
"Jones?" Marleen spoke.
"Yes, Jones, Oho-, the same guy we met that day, James's assistant." Ash described
"Aish, that. Ya sure you do." Marleen hesitated
"Huh, are you fine?" Ash concerned
"Ash..." Marleen paused
"Yea, speak up what is it" Ash sat beside her
"Actually-" Marleen starts speaking
'Beep' Ash's phone rang out of a sudden. They were both startled.
"Gosh, I got scared" Ash exclaimed
She took a glimpse on her cellphone "Ah- it's Jones himself. Let me pick" Ash picked up the phone
"Hmm" Marleen nodded as yes.
While Ash was talking to Jones, Marleen's head was filled with the memories of that incident that just happened a few hours ago.
"Twelve days... What is it, What does it mean and what does David want to tell me by that" Marleen was deep into her thoughts that she didn't see Ash coming.
"Oii" Ash jerked "Didn't you heard?"
"Ugh, ah... Sorry I-" Marleen hesitated again.
"Hmm...," Ash sighed "Nevermind, I was saying that James wants to meet you. " She told
"Alright then, tell him that we will meet after two days. " Marleen said coldly
"Not we, It's just you." Ash hesitated a bit
"What do you mean" Marleen irritated
"James wants to meet you alone," She Said
"Ohh, then alright. I will go meet him alone" Marleen again said coldly
"He also said that he wants to meet today " Ash spoke.
"What?" Marleen was irritated "No, Tell him to meet after two days. "
"He will leave for abroad tonight and don't know when will he come back so he wanted to meet before he leaves" Ash explained.
"Alright, Ask him to send his location. I will go meet him" Marleen instructed.
Ash nodded and called back Jones, to fix the meeting.
On the other side of the Camera, Sebestian was observing everything from the start and was excited about the meeting already.
...After a few hours...
Everything was arranged Marleen is now dressing up for the meeting.
"Oh Marleen, you're such a goddess. Your body, your hair especially your that smile, anything you wear you just looks so hot. Ugh! I can't wait any longer" Sebestian complimented her beauty observing through the Screen.
"Ash, Give me the car key I'm heading off" Marleen spoke.
"Here" Ash passed the car keys "And, all the best, Hope you get your answers "
Marleen hugged her tightly "Yo bestie, thank you so much for being with me always"
Ash hugged back "I will always remain the same"
She breaks the hug and said, "Now go, I think that James is kind of a rude person..."
"Sheesh, I don't care a bit, how is him and who the actual crap is him" Marleen annoyed.
"Alright, see you then" She sat inside the car and drove.
...On the other side...
"David" Mathew called.
"What is it?" He questioned.
"Marleen..." Mathew paused.
"What Marleen?" He concerned.
"Marleen... Sebastian invited her to meet today and she's on the way" Mathew informed
"Oh, So no worries " David chilled out.
"What, why aren't you serious about this? Sister is going to meet Sebastian, that also alone." Mathew raises his voice.
"Chill Mathew" David ignored.
"Why ? at least tell me" Mathew tensed
"Heh" David chuckled, "Seb thinks that he's alone in this race to win Marleen and himself not sure about my existence." He stated
"But-" Mathew was about to say
"And also, the men in his surrounding I mean the guards, ARE MY MEN. If he dared to lay his hands on her, my men will kill him right there at my one order" He smirked.
"What!!" Mathew was shocked "When you did do this?"
"Just when I killed that guard who was about to tell her my dark secret. I was keeping my eyes on her " David explained.
"Ohh---!" Mathew was amazed at his mind and plans.
"Now let's see what's happening that side" David opened his laptop

Sebastian was waiting at a table wearing a Masquerade mask. Then Marleen entered.
She was straight looking at the table where he was sitting. A man was indicating the direction to Marleen through his hands.
Marleen kept moving forward towards the table until he stood up.
"Welcome Miss Marleen" He greets.
"Hmm" She nodded coldly and sat on the chair.
"Guess, you are so mysterious about yourself to others" Marleen stated.
"Oh really? Why did you think that way, miss?" He was looking into her deep eyes.
"The mask you are wearing, I guessed by that" Marleen raised her eyebrow.
"Ohh this" He touched the mask "I will remove it, but let me know you a bit more," He said sarcastically.
"Anyways, we will talk about this later... I am here to ask a few questions about DAV-" Marleen spoke while flipping the pages of the documents but when she lifted her face she saw him not paying attention to her words "Look, mister, I guess the time is very precious for both of us. So, could you please co-operate" She annoyed?
"I apologize if this is a little bit forward, but I think you're gorgeous." He complimented. "There's something special about you," He said straight looking into her eyes.
"And what is it?" She interested.
"It's me, Marleen" He touched the mask to remove it.
