He thought that I was asleep but I wasn't. I could feel that he was glaring at me and then slowly got out of the bed. In the next few seconds I heard his foot steps slow and steady but the room was so quite that his big legs couldn't help but make a loud sound. With the sound of door shutting, noises of his foot steps disappeared.

I noticed a lot of times when I suddenly wake up from my sleep, he isn't there. This night I decided to stay up and follow where he is going.

I watched him from a distance as he disappeared in a room. I had seen that room once and I was sure that the room was completely empty and not had even one pen. So what was he doing there late at night.

I peeked inside the room. He was pushing a wall and I got more confused. Why would he push a wall?

And suddenly the wall slided and in front of him was a small room. What the...

Vansh had a secret room probably to connect with the outer world I guess and that's why he was hiding it from me. His voice was echoing in the room so I didn't have to go inside to hear the conversation.

"Tell them I can't sign the deal right now, I am out of Mumbai. I'll return after six days." Vansh sounded tensed and waited for the response.

"I get it but I can't help it. If the deal wasn't so big and clients weren't so important, I wouldn't have entertained them." Anger, frustation, tiredness bloomed in his tone.

Work problems of course. It's been more than a week, he haven't return to his work. Now a company without it's CEO can work for 2-3 days but not more than that plus he had to sneek from me to handle his crisis. The deal looked really important for him so it can be my way to get out of here.

Now that I have seen the room and how to open it I can come here whenever I get chance to call up someone. I made my way to the room again making sure he doesn't get suspicious.

He came in after few minutes and I kept my breathing slow and normal.

*Next Morning *

First thing I checked after waking up was the time. It was 8 a.m. and Vansh don't wake up so early nowadays. Maybe he couldn't sleep because of his work stress.

I got freshen up and walked downstairs for breakfast like everything was normal.

Nothing was near to normal; In the next few days I came to know that my best friend of 8 years was secretly so obsessed with me that he was stalking me everywhere and threatening guys to stay away from me and even killed one. Now I can't leave him because I am stuck in this mansion and I don't know the correct way to get out of here. I can't contact anyone for help, such a normal life. I am so tired to complain about my abnormal life anymore.

When I couldn't see Vansh anywhere I asked the maid as I grabbed my breakfast, "Where is Vansh?"

"Sir went out." Her voice was so low that I could bearly hear it.
