Even after that night, Riz didn't call back but two days later, a news regarding him made a headline.
The CEO of Evans Corporation was seen carrying a woman in his arms, kissing on the forehead and entering a car. Everyone was aware that Riz was a clean freak and always kept a distance from women. There was no negative news about him. No one could reach him or secretly photograph due to his strong securities.
The news headlines could mean only two thing- either Riz allowed the news to be published or it was work of his opponents.
Even after a day the new didn't disappear so everyone assumed that Riz didn't disagree with the news. Different version of rumors about Riz and that woman circulated around Bregel.
Hanna was still unaware of the news, was working hard to strike a deal for a government project. She was at the Southern part of the City with government officials. Her phone was in silent with tons of missed calls and unseen messages.
After days of negotiation and presentation, finally Evans Corporation got the deal.
"Congratulations Director Hanna." A senior executive congratulated her followed by other colleagues.
"Director Hanna, let's celebrate for this big success." One of the colleague spoke.
"Yeah, it should be celebrated." Another one joined.
"Sorry!! I have to take a raincheck. You guys go on, I will take care of the bill." Hanna spoke with a smile. She had to return back because Robert had called hundred times since the morning.
Some tried to persuade her while some understood her. At last, she returned back to the City Center Hospital.
It was around nine when she arrived.
"Hanna, I heard you gained the Southern Bregel Project. Congrats." Robert tone was warm.
Hanna smiled in response.
"Were you so busy that you missed my calls?"
"Yeah."
"Then accompany me for a meal." Robert asked butler Chen to bring the dinner.
"Is there anything Grandpa?" Hanna knew Robert was acting a bit unusual.
"Hahh, can't I call you for dinner." The old man began to nag.
Hanna only smiled. After dinner, Hanna returned back to Sunshine Villa. Robert ordered his men to take down the news regarding Riz.
The next day Hanna on her work, heard some gossips. First she didn't care but halted when she heard Riz name. In that way she learnt about the news.
She tried to remain calm and returned back to Sunshine Villa.
'He found her at last. He really found her...' Hanna was mumbling while laughing crazily. It was possible, she could lose her mind.
Locking her door, she cried out till she fainted. It was dark when she woke. Her migraine had worsen and also her stomach was in so much pain. Checking her medicine, she found they have ran out.
After calming herself, she understood Robert unusual behavior. Maybe he was afraid that she may had seen the news.
In a night the news had disappeared but still it reached her. She called Riz several times but still the call was out of reach.
Not knowing what to do or who to ask, she curled on the bed and sobbed.
The next day she acted as if the news never reached her. From someday she was feeling dizzy, the smell of fishes made her nauseous.
Despite the uncomfort, she attended the office and in the weekend returned to Evans old residence. Robert also had been discharged from the hospital and was back.
All members of Evans except Riz were present in the house. No one brought the topic, even Riz's mother didn't mock her but everyone beside Grandpa neglected her. Some were laughing behind for her misfortune.
The house was unusually silent that Hanna felt uncomfortable and weird. It was as if some evil plan was brewing within.
At the dinner, fish were also served which made her nauseous but still she controlled, didn't touch the fish and kept on eating small bites of other food item.
"Hanna, why are you eating so little? I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite fried fish, why don't you try it?" Robert asked lovingly.
"Grandpa, I am on diet so avoiding fish." Hanna made an excuse immediately.
"Girl. You don't have to diet. You are already so skinny." Robert began to nag.
"If she don't want then why wasting time to persuade her." Nancy, Riz's grandmother made a remark.
No one talked but still Robert placed some food on Hanna's plate. His care warmed her heart.
As everyone finished eating, she excused herself and ran to washroom and vomited.
Everything she consumed went into drain. Washing her face, she went to the living room and was summoned to the study room.
She could feel the gaze of other members as she stepped the stairs. A maid was walking down the stairs at the same time, sprained her ankle and the thing she was carrying fell on the ground. Hanna helped the maid while some of family member rushed to collect the scattered materials.
A loud gasps and chattering followed. Hanna looked back and saw a stack of photos were scattered near her feet. She had a gut feeling that those photos were related to Riz.
There was no chance for her to escape or to act as if the photos were invisible. Bending down, she picked them one by one. Her heart was breaking with every piece of photo, she picked up. Riz, Assistant Brian and Riz's lover's back were all over the photos. It seems someone from Evans family was secretly investigating Riz's every movement. Despite knowing someone was doing this deliberately, Hanna couldn't control her emotions, face turned pale and tears began to flow. Feeling like vomiting, she ran out of the house, called a taxi. She anyhow wanted to flee from that place.
Having no destination to go, she asked the driver to round the city and sobbed all the way. Her mind was turning dizzy so at last asked the driver to take her to the nearby hospital and lost consciousness.
