Upon reaching the parking lot, Kiran Kareem saw a suspicious man wearing all black and with a black mask on his face. His eyes were cold, and mysterious until he walked into the hospital through the double glass doors.
"Ted, I need to go back immediately!" Kiran Kareem told him in a hurry. His instincts told him that the man was up to no good. If he was not mistaken, he was Eleanor Freya's men sent to Raelynn Lyla.
"No! You have to obey your father young master! You don't have to protect that girl!" Ted interrupted Kiran Kareem who immediately titled his head and faced him, he looked at him coldly before he turned around and followed the man inside through the double glass doors. He ran as fast as he could, afraid that the man was going to Raelynn Lyla's room.
"Young master!"
"Young master!"
Ted called him disappointedly yet, he followed him back inside the hospital. He knew very well that he would have been punished by Kiran Kumar if he did not take his son with him back home.
Kiran Kareem huffed and puffed heavily as he ran hurriedly. He ran up the flight of stairs as he could not bare to wait for the elevator.
"He's good at hide and seek, Huh?" He mumbled, peeking at the area to make sure that there was no one around who could see him running around like a suspicious man.
Kiran Kareem was about to open the door when he saw the suspicious man enter the room at the end of the hallway.
He quickly went after him and tried to hear their conversation. Yet, the door was soundproof and it was impossible to eavesdrop.
Kiran Kareem remembered Raelynn Lyla as he ran back to her room. Upon pushing open the door, he saw the suspicious man, choking Raelynn Lyla to death.
"A game can be played by two partners better than three or four, and the second partner has just arrived, it's been a while young master, I have been following you around until you brought this pretty lady here." The suspicious man said as his eyes beamed with happiness.
"Leave her alone! She has absolutely nothing to do with me!" Kiran Kareem shouted fiercely ,he clenched his fist and hoped and prayed that Ted would have appeared behind him.
The suspicious man burst into an evil laughter and let go of Raelynn Lyla. "I'll try my best not to hurt her if only you can agree to my one condition, young master!" The man said as he held up his index finger.
"A...a...con... condition?"Kiran Kareem asked him seeming surprised while looking at Raelynn Lyla who still slept peacefully.
His heart stopped beating momentarily when he saw the suspicious man nod his head in reply.
Would he let his pride take over or would he agree with the suspicious man and protect Raelynn Lyla?
Light seeped into Eleanor Freya's room. She woke up, switched off her alarm clock, rubbed her bleary eyes then sat up on the bed and supported her head with the dutchess bed headrest. There was a pearl glow in the sky.
The dawn chorus of melodic birdsongs drifted in. Outside some groundsmen were up already trimming the lawn in the Mansion. A soft knock on the door brought her back to concentration. The door hinges creaked, the frosted glass door flung wide open, and a young lady came into the room.
