I fell for my best friend 💑

The Ultimate Truth

Mayhul hurried towards the lobby where all their team members, Natasha and the mysterious woman is waiting for them.

Rah rushed in to find solemn faces waiting for them. He breathed a sigh of relief to find Natasha safe and in the arms of Hardik , secured.

After so many days Hardik looked relived but the atmosphere was tense.

Suddenly Rah's eyes met with the mysterious woman , their eye contact lasted for a while , Rah could feel apology in her eyes , she looked guilt striken but why was she apologetic ?

" Rah and Mayank are here too , so can you speak up now? " Vi spoke impatiently.

The lady nodded and stepped forward , looked at everyone and took a deep breath and began speaking , " Myself Gracia , Iam half German and half English so I can speak English fluently even though my origins are German. I grew up in a humble village of Germany. I was poor and alone , not many people befriended me due to my status.

However one day , I met a boy , kind hearted , always smiling , caring and was the heir of wealthy household. He never shunned me for being poor, infact he was very compassionate, he befriended me and we spent many happy times together. Soon we both fell in love with each other , but were scared to tell our families because of the difference between our status.

However he was adamant that he will tell his family the truth , he was sure his mother would understand him but...." Gracia was shivering , hesitating to speak further , but she composed herself,

" When he reached his home , he found his mother dead , she hanged herself to death. " Everyone gasped, feeling pity for the boy , shedding a few tears at such an emotional turn to the story.

" Why did she do so ? " Ishan timidly asked.

" She found her husband had an extra martial affair ...with a... another guy . She felt betrayed and disgusted. She realized her marriage was falling apart , she tried to tie the loose ends and tried to convince her husband to leave that man but her husband refused. They had many fights and quarrels and ultimately her husband eloped and she hanged herself due to grief. "

ICT could see that she was having trouble to continue , it was taking a toll on her to continue. Jassi extended a glass of water to her , this comforting gesture touched her and she bravely continued, " The guy with whom I fell in love with is Warren , the one who kidnapped Natasha. "

" But why her ? " Shubhman asked curiously.

" Because Natasha is the daughter of the man with whom Warren's father eloped. "

Slowly and eventually the story was falling into pieces and everyone were able to connect the dots.

" Warren was heartbroken due to his mother's demise and felt hatred towards his father and Natasha's father and blamed them for ruining their lives. At a young age , he had to survive alone without his parent's company. His uncle took him under his wing.

His uncle was having connections with the drug peddlers and gamblers , Warren was introduced to the world of crime at a very young age. He began plotting for revenge and soon he found out about Natasha and Hardik's affair through his gang member , who spiked the drink of Natasha's friend and gathered all the information about Natasha, Hardik and all the ICT members. "

" Sorry to interrupt you , but why are you telling us all of this ? We could legally take action against Warren , won't you be upset ? " Virat suspiciously asked.

" I love Warren wholeheartedly but I truly believe that he wasn't going to hurt Natasha , he just wanted to scare her. Warren is a nice man , I know his ways were wrong but his intentions weren't to harm or kill her. Trust me.

And I wanted to tell you all these things because you all deserve an explanation , I know you all must be worried. Warren's gang member told me all about the ICT team , how you treat your members like a family and I knew you all must be searching high and low for Natasha.

When Warren dragged Rahul into this mess to torture you all , I had enough. The situation was getting too sticky and I wanted Warren to return Natasha back to you all. But Warren was too deep into this mess , his alter ego was turning him evil and Warren was refusing to climb out of this pit.

So I decided to foil his plans and rescued Natasha and brought her here. I know he must be very angry and fuming but I know that what I did was right . " Gracia was scared but also determined to face Warren , if things go haywire.

" Rishi, that day too you asked the goon , that is your boss Warren...so how did you know it was Warren ? " Mayank enquired.

Rishi held his head down , slowly averted his eyes upwards , looked into everyone's eyes and before he could confess , gunshots were fired.

Everyone trembled due to the frightening noise , more gunshots were fired and the staff was scrambling away.

" Warren is here ! " Gracia screeched.
