"What happened? Why did you call me here so urgently?" Darius asked with a frown as soon as he entered the room. Noah was talking with someone on the phone and so he kept quiet and waited for him to finish the call. He walked toward the table and leaned back on it and heard Noah's conversation. Noah seemed tensed and frustrated for some reason which indicates that whatever happened is something very serious. So, he mentally prepared himself for the worst. "What do you mean by you don't have any idea?! Are you kidding me, huh? Leave the job if you are so incapable of doing this! Get that?!" Noah shouted at the person over the phone. He waited for a moment to let the opposite person say something which seemed to frustrate him even more as his eyes turned almost black in anger as he gritted his teeth. "You even dare to say that?! I will make sure you lose your job, you idiot! I was informed about it two days later! Two goddamn days later! N

"What's the status? Did you find anything?" Darius asked over the phone. He was in his office while Anastasia was in the suite, working on the files he had given her. She is better now. Her last set of bandages will be taken off tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be the seventh day of her stay there. After that she is going to return to stay with Selena. And it's been seven days and he still didn't manage to find out the culprits. He was frustrated about that would be an understatement. He wanted to get his hold on that person who did this to her, make him pay, just like he promised to himself. He and Noah got to know that Richard wasn't between all these. So, it must be someone else. Either it's someone from that colony who played a prank beyond limit or someone from the past who wanted to shut her big mouth. "Sir, we found something." His personal detective answered which immediately calmed him

"So, the food was tasty, I guess?" Anastasia asked in a teasing tone after they were done having lunch. Darius looked at her blankly after hearing her but didn't say anything. As if he was lost in a deep thought and didn't know how to voice it out. His face had lines of shock which Anastasia noticed and she got tensed about his behaviour. She kept her hand over his. He jerked off after feeling her touch and looked at her with widened eyes. "Darius? Are you okay?" She asked slowly while giving him a worried look. "I am not." He said in a defeated tone and looked away from her. He closed his eyes and opened them. "Darius, what happened? Was something wrong with the food? Was it too spicy? Are you allergic to something? Did I put too much salt in some food? Tell me, what's wrong?! I am sorry." She exclaimed in one breath while looking at him frantically, waiting for an answer. 

"So, did you like the food?" Darius asked as they walked outside the restaurant with their hands in hands.    There is a small garden outside the restaurant where they had their dinner. The dinner was fun. They talked a lot. Mostly, Anastasia talked and Darius listened to her with a lot of attention. She shared her favourite memories. All of the memories were of recent years, of her college life. Not a single word about her childhood.    Anastasia also got to know a little bit about him. Like he has an older sister who is a psychiatrist. Also a little information about his businesses, how many businesses he has and all. He shared a little bit about his friendship with Noah which Anastasia enjoyed a lot, because Darius and Noah have a lot of funny experiences together. She also got to know that he is an orphan. His parents died in a tragic accident when he was just a little baby. She felt really bad hearing that. Her eyes almost tea

"SELENA! SELENA! HELP! HELP ME!" Anastasia's loud cries for help almost stopped Selena's heart from running.    She stopped whatever she was doing and pushed all the things away from her before running outside her room to their small living room from where her sound was coming.    "Anastasia!" She exclaimed loudly in horror when she saw Anastasia in a miserable state, standing in the middle of the living room while looking really scared of something.    Her eyes widened when she saw Anastasia's eyes closing as she dropped on the floor, losing her consciousness. If her heart didn't stop breathing the time when she heard her screams, it surely did this time when she dropped on the floor.    "Anastasia!" She shrieked out once again and quickly ran toward her. She dropped on her knees as soon as she was near her and placed Anastasia's head on her lap. She pat her cheeks lightly. "Anas
