The Devil's Angel (Part 1)

Garry's Idea

Tara Pov:

           I felt something wet on my forehead. I touch it without opening my eyes. I took that thing and looked at it. It's a wet cloth. I tried to wake up but I feel like I am burning in an Owen.

"Why did you take the cloth?" Grandma said and entered my room. She makes me lie on the bed and checked the temperature.

"Oh, dear. Your fever is not at all going down" Grandma said while placing the wet cloth back to my forehead.

I smile at her weakly. She kissed my head lovingly. "What time is it grandma?" I said to her in a weak voice.

"It's twenty past one, almost lunchtime. I will bring you porridge to eat" she said

"Grandma, Please I hate Porridge," I said with a pout

"Then you should not get sick like this. Try to get well soon so that you don't need to eat porridge" she said and went out

Grandpa entered the room with flowers. He places that in a vase on my table which is near my bed. Flowers make me happy and calm.

Grandpa sits near the bed and caresses my hair. I hugged my grandpa's waist. I feel safe here. "What happened my dear? What is the reason for your sickness?" he asked me

I don't want to think about that. If I talk to him about that he will be more worried. I don't want to make him worried about me.

I said "It's because of my work. It's taking all my energy. And I did overtime yesterday. That's why grandpa. Nothing to worry"

"Are you sure, dear?" he asked with concern.

I nodded and hugged him more. Grandma came with the porridge. I scrunch my nose by looking at that. I look at her with puppy eyes.

"Don't give me that look. You will complete this bowl" grandma said

I looked at grandpa. He just shrugged his shoulders. I pressed my lips and look at the Porridge. I signed and opened my mouth.

Grandma feed me the full bowl and gave me my pills. They both kissed me and left the room. I smile at them. They never make me feel Alone.

I tried to sleep when my phone vibrated. I took that from the table. It's a message from Garry and Darly. They are coming to meet me now. I text them back as Okay.

I just need to divert my mind. Also, I want to talk about this with someone. I will go crazy if I keep it for myself.

I saw missed call from Mahi & Kevin. I informed them that I will be on leave today. Also, Kevin texted me whether I am okay or not. I replied to him that I am better now and called Mahi.

She attend the call on the second ring "Hey" I said

"Girl, you don't sound good. Are you okay?" she asked me

"Yes, little fever. How is your Mom?" I asked her

"Ah, nothing big happened. Small leg sprain. She is doing better now" she said

"That's a relief," I said

"Hey, do you know today Big boss, not in a good mood? He asked about you. Kevin informed him that you are not feeling well. Also, his hand was bandaged. Maybe got into an accident" she said

I expect this. That's why I informed Kevin earlier this morning. I know he will ask about my absence. What with the Bandage? I didn't see that this morning. Even though I fear him now, still I am worried about him.

"Okay, Mahi. I will talk with you later" I said and hung up the call

In a few minutes, Garry and Darly came to see me. "Babies, what happened to you?" here comes my drama queen.

"I am fine Darly. Just a fever" I said

"Are you feeling better now?" asked Garry

"Yeah, all good," I said and looked down. I don't know from where I should start. I didn't tell him that my boss is the stranger we save in Russia.

Garry sat beside me in bed. He holds my hand and asked, "Tell me, what's going on babies?"

I looked at him with teary eyes. I lay my head on his shoulders and cried. By seeing me like this Darly moved toward me and hugged me.

"What happened, Tara? Why are you crying? Did anyone bully you in office? Tell me I will show them who we are" she said and fisted her hands

I laughed between my sobs. I told them everything till what happened this morning. Every single thing that happened in this past month.

They both are shocked to the core. "I am not going to save anyone in my life," she said

"Not helping Darly. Shut your mouth" Garry scolded her.

He looked at me and said "It's not your fault Tara. He played you. So, what are you gonna do now? Did you think of anything?"

I shake my head as No. "You should resign from your work," said Darly.

"No, I can't. I have signed the contract. I should work another 3months till I complete my internship or I should pay a huge amount" I said

"Then let's pay that. I will give you the money. Pay him and let's get out of here" Darly said

"Do you have that much money Darly? Did you forget that he is fucking Mafia?" He asked her

"Then, do you have any solution?" Darly asked

"Let's face him. Nothing we can do about this. Make him understand, you don't belong to him" He said

I looked at both of them and lay back. I don't know what to do. You never know how our life will go. I don't what my fate holds for me.
