Chapter 36 - I want to see her cry!
He hurriedly shuffled his pockets and found the key. He handed over the key to her and stepped back again. Rose quickly rushed to the door and unlocked it and turned around to see Rhehan. He was standing helplessly red faced staring at her.
"Don"t worry. Its a deal. You don"t mess with me and i will never let that picture be in public", she rea.s.sured and stepped out.
The moment she stepped out Rhehan gave a loud cry.
"Ahhhhhhh," he shouted and banged his fist on a table breaking it into pieces.
He locked the cafe from inside and dialed a number on his cell-phone immediately.
"Cheryl it is me Rhehan," he said trying his best to sound happy.
" Oh wow, how are you. Anna told me you wanted to talk to me", replied Cheryl. She could not believe her crush from past 5 years will suddenly call her.
"I am fine. I need you to do somthing for me. In return I will give you 10 million dollars," he said directly.
Cheryl was stunned for a moment. Money was never an object for her but 10 million was huge amount, though for Rhehan it was like giving away a drop from the ocean. She would have anyways agreed even if Rhehan would have asked her to do a favour in free.
" Ok. Done. May I know what is it that you are offering me such a huge amount," she asked amused.
Rhehan gave a light chuckle. He knew Cheryl would never refuse his proposal. She was known to have slept her way to the top and had also seduced Rose"s secretery to earn the status of Fabiosa"s top model.
"Your boss Rose, I want her career finished. Do whatever you have to but I want to see her cry. You have one month"s time starting from today. As soon as the work is done the money will be transfered", he said in a serious tone.
"Ok. I will do it. You will see the result in a few days only," she replied.
Chapter 37 - Masked men
Meanwhile...
Rose pushed open the cafe door and walked out of it, ama.s.sing all her strength. She could feel her throat completely dry and her legs getting numb. She walked a few steps but halted as her legs were giving away. She sat on a bench nearby and rested her head with her eyes closed. Though the drug was mild, Rose had pushed herself physically and mentally beyond her strength.
Taking a person"s naked photograph"s also required too much of courage and shamelessness. She still could not believe she had seduced Rhehan to click his naked pictures. But what other option she had? She was drugged by him. What if he tried to kidnap her? She only wanted to protect herself.
A few seconds after Rose had closed her eyes she heard few screeching voices coming to an abrubt halt. She quickly opened her eyes and saw three black colored SUVs parked outside the cafe. A few masked men quicklystepped out of the vehicles, holding big rifles in their hands.
Rose looked at them carefully. They did not look like bodygaurds or military people. They looked more from underworld or from a smuggler gang.
"Are you sure he is alone?" said one.
"Positive" replied the other.
"Do you realise if your information is wrong, we will be killed?" asked the third masked man.
"I know that." replied the masked man rolling his eyes.
" Ok then! We two will take care of the staff and you all go get him. Remember we have to shoot him only if things are out of our control. Boss wants him alive," reminded a masked man.
Chapter 38 - He is in danger!
Rose was carefully visualising the whole senario. She could not understand the entire situation but she was sure it had something to do with Rhehan. Afterall, he was the only one inside the cafe.
Is his life in danger? Oh my G.o.d! What an idiot! Why did he come without his bodyguards? He has no idea about all of this.
Suddenly, Rose heard a screaming voice. The masked man had pointed his gun at the staff. The terrified staff of the cafe were made to kneel down with their hands raised above. The other masked men were now surrounding the cafe building, carefully observing the main entry and the emergency exit.
Rose quickly got up from the bench and took deep breaths to ama.s.s all her strength. She knew she had to save Rhehan keeping aside all the prejudice. No matter how bad he behaved with her, he did not deserve to die. His death will follow homelessness of millions of people and all the orphanges, schools, charity hospitals under his company might also vanish.
Two masked men had already opened the cafe door while, two other were heading to the emergency door. Rose rapidly sprinted inside the cafe from the main entry, quickly removing three hair pins from her hair side by side. She thrusted a pin tightly in the neck of one masked man causing him to yell in pain. The other masked man turned to see his partner lying on the ground bleeding from the neck.
He was stunned to see a skinny girl with two pins in both her hands standing alert in front of him.
"Hey kiddo! What did you do to my man?" he asked angrily.
"Nothing I was just fixing his hair", she said innocently, showing the hair pins in her hands.
Meanwhile Rhehan who had just ended his call with Cheryl was standing stunned looking at the three people in front of him. One was on the ground now bleeding profously, while the other man was talking cautiously to the girl who seemed harmless on surface.
Chapter 39 - Dont worry!
Rose looked at Rhehan who stood frozen at his spot. He was trying to comprehend the entire situation.
"Atleast wear you clothes," Rose rebuked him.
Rhehan came back to his senses and hurridly rushed to wear his clothes.
The other masked man pulled up his gun to aim at Rhehan but in a split of second he had fallen on the ground and his palm was bleeding heavily. Rose had pressed the hair pin deep inside his palm, which made the masked man drop the gun and cry loudly. He fell on the ground and cried in despair.
Rhehan, who was hurriedly wearing his clothes was amazed at Rose"s quick reactions. She was drugged but she still had the capacity to pull down trained men with just a few hair pins. More than that, he was surprised that Rose came back to save him after what happened between them. Whereas, he was planning to finish her career just a few seconds before.
"We need to leave this place immediately. Their are more men waiting for you outside and I don"t have the energy to defend you against all," said Rose holding Rhehan"s hand and budging him towards the main entry.
Rose knew some men were trying to force themselves in through the emergency exit, so they did not have much time to flee.
"Dont worry. I have informed my security. They will be here in a few seconds," said Rhehan patting Rose"s hand which was still holding his other hand.
Chapter 40 - A different feeling!
The moment he patted her hand he could feel a current running in his body. Not the kinds he would usually feel when making out with a girl. This feeling was different and unique. A feeling of being cared and protected. A feeling to let down all guards and follow one"s emotions.
He quickly retraced his hand, scared of his own thoughts. This girl was giving him a tough time already.
Rose who was standing facing the emergency exit felt a sense of relief hearing his words. She knew his security would now take care of the masked men while they wait inside the cafe.
Suddenly a loud voice echoed inside the cafe and two masked men entered the emergency exit rapidly. They had broken the lock of the door and were now standing aiming their guns at Rhehan. Rose could make out from their stance that they were ready to shoot Rhehan.
A loud voice "bamm" came from the gun which was aiming at Rhehan. Rose quickly kicked Rhehan on the back of his knee making him fall on the ground. The bullet from the gun aimed straight at Rose and hit her arm. Had she not been drugged she would have dodged herself away from the bullet. But in this condition all she could think was to kick Rhehan away from the bullet. The jolt of the bullet was too much for Rose and she fell down hitting her head on the floor.
