The Magic Bay.
Sitting on a dark leather-colored couch, a woman clad in a black floral dress and her eyes closed was resting peacefully making everything around pale, with her sizzling presence. Her waist-length long black hair fluttered due to the wind making her look like a lone goddess bringing a serene feeling to those who watch.
"Hmm, it seems like you are back," Bella whispered with furrowed brows and opened her eyes slowly. Her jet-black colored eyes glistened under the room's dim light for a second before turning into a dark brown shade. She smirked lazily when she thought of the chaos that was about, to begin with, the arrival of the new force which she felt a while ago.
'Welcome back, Layla. Hope you don't disappoint me this time." Bella muttered with a smirk and again closed her eyes to take a rest when her phone rang.
"Where are you?" Bella heard a cold voice as soon as she answered her phone. She looked at the caller display and hung up the phone without even bothering to answer him.
"I WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY IF THIS WAS A WEEK BACK. BUT NOW I DON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE." Bella muttered and closed her eyes to control the tears that are threatening to break out. She may be strong but she is not that strong to be okay with her lover having an affair. Only she knew how hard it was for her since she saw him kissing another woman, while she was waiting for him like a fool soaking in the rain that day.
She tossed her phone aside and continued to nap on the couch, not knowing that the man on the other side was currently wreaking havoc in the entire city since she disappeared.

"Damn it!" Dylan cursed loudly, smashing his phone on the wall when he heard the phone beep. It's been almost ten days since he last saw her and now she hid from him and even refused to talk to him.
"Find her!! Find out where she is! Quick!" Dylan ordered his scared secretary when a man entered his cabin without knocking.
"Hmm, Wow! Sir Dylan is angry. What is it that pissed you off so much?" Neo asked Dylan.
"I want her details before evening. Get going." Dylan instructed his secretary and then turned to Neo.
He raised his brows and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Neo rolled his eyes and scoffed," Of course I am here to tell you about Bella."
Dylan paused and asked, "Where is she?"
"Huh? I don't know! But I came here to tell you that you are going to be free from her soon. She won't pester you anymore." Neo said cheerfully not noticing Dylan stiffen.
"What do you mean, she won't pester me?" Dylan whispered shakily.
Neo frowned noticing Dylan's state and muttered, "She said that she will be going to Cosmos soon and you know her father. He is hell-bent on making Bella marry that Theos guy and now when she is finally willing to return home, do you think he will let this opportunity go away? I am damn sure that this time she can't escape. Huh? How dare she threaten me? I almost died in my brother's hands. She ran away before I could have my revenge. Lucky gir... Hey! Where are you going? Wait! Dylan!"
Dylan quickly left the office leaving Neo to his rants.
"How dare you, woman! Just you wait! Dylan gritted his teeth and swiftly left in his car searching for Bella.
---------------------------------------------------------
Neo sensed Dylan's absence and frowned. "What's with him?" he muttered and slumped on the couch nearby.
"Darling....What are you doing?" Neo whispered under his breath and took out his mobile intending to call his girlfriend when a woman dashed into the room suddenly frightening him.
Neo jerked violently, his mobile slipped and fell on the floor. A call was connected by mistake but Neo was unaware of it as he was busy glaring at the intruder.
"Esme! You brat! Don't you know how to knock the door?"Neo snapped but the woman just rolled her eyes.
"Why are you here? Where is Dylan? And where in the world are you guys hiding my fiancee?" Esme asked while narrowing her eyes at Neo.
Neo smirked and said dramatically,"Oh! You mean Vulcan! Don't you know? He is already married and dream on if you have any dirty thoughts on him. He will never be yours."
"Nonsense! He is my fiancee!He is not married!" Esme gritted her teeth and snapped, with tears in her eyes. All these guys are refusing to tell her about him, scaring her and Neo's words further increased her fear.
"Do I look like I have time to waste on you and your nonsense. There is nothing in it for me to lie. And Vulcan was just using you. He doesn't like you. So, you better give up already."Neo scoffed and left the room leaving Esme alone in the room.
"That brat! Huh? Want Vulcan? Dream on! You were lucky that I was in a good mood today or else i would have said even more lies." Neo thought smugly not knowing the chaos that his lies brought in someone's life.

THE WOODEN CHAMBER.
Cara and Sedna were still unconscious when Roose entered the chamber to check on them.He looked at them and sighed tiredly thinking about the obstacles they had to face in the future.
He was about to leave the chamber when he felt something vibrate at the corner of the room.He quickly grabbed the mobile that was vibrating and smirked when he felt it was Vulcan's.He answered the call and heard everything while smirking playfully. He knew that what Neo said was all nonsense but that would not stop him from his plan.
He looked at Sedna's sleeping face and quickly did something on Vulcan's mobile. He even deleted all the traces of his plan and tossed the mobile aside and dusted off his hands.
"Just you wait, Bastard!" Roose sniggered and left after making sure that Sedna and Cara were comfortable.
