The quick five minutes talk with Thiyagu Sharon Moretti said a lot about him. According to Ella, he seems to be amusing, humorous, enthusiastic and all things cool. He would be a great partner in crime. 

If Thiyagu was in Milan, both Ella and him would make a great team. That would be a minus point for Diego as both would team up against him, Diego summed up the situation if the two devil's of his life come face-to-face.

Diego remained quiet in the car as he drove Ella to her office. He even refused to answer her question on 'why she wasn't aware of Thiyagu's existence?'

His silence did nothing but increase the anger in her.

"You are not going to answer me, right? Then don't come to me when you need HELP!" Ella stressed her last statement before sliding out of the car.

The man in the car watched as the woman walked and disappeared into the building.

He sighed, 'the time nor the situation did not occurr to talk about him. Definitely not because I want to keep his existence a secret' he told himself.

Though what he just spoke could be accepted yet Diego, himself tried harder to figure out what exactly the reason.

'Thiyagu is quite a charmer. What if he lures Ella away from you?' said his inner voice.

Brushing away those thoughts, Diego left to his office.

Ella's productive work day got an expected interruption when she received a message that shook her from the ground.

Her entire body shivered as she re-played the audio message again. Sweat beads had begun to wet her forehead and slowly started rolling down her cheeks though she was in a fully air-conditioned room.

Ella wiped the sweat above her lips with the back of her palms as she sat back on her chair.

"If yesterday's event isn't going to make your finding stop. Then I'll have to start again. Three days. If you don't stop your search in the next three days... Next target will be... Aryana... Remember her? She is in the list too. Oh wait, maybe for a change I should go for the person of my choice. The man who is engrossed in the search. Keep him away, if you want him to be alive or at least safe. Cheers! This is Zaro"

'Who are these people and why are they hell bent to kill the girls? What's their connection with Ara? Should I go to the police? Under what section will I lodge a report? Murder threat? But there's no hint that says murder, killing or anything that would be strong enough to lodge a complaint'

Ella felt her head would explode any moment with all these questions forming in her head.

Taking a couple of deep breath, she tried to calm herself.  Analysing every information, every incident. Ella started evaluating herself, whether she is going to bent to their so-call threat or stand strong. Will that be a stupid decision to do the latter?

'No point wasting time while putting the live of the innocent at stake or playing hide and seek. Time to meet.' 

Ella realised it's time she put her forgotten skills to test. She replayed the audio once again before making a call to the number. 

It's a risk but she's willing to take.

"Hello... Zaro?"

------

On her way back, Ella mull over on the matter yet again. What if the matter goes out of control?Maybe she should just convince Diego to stop looking for Ara. But... how will she tell? Who is she even to stop him from what he wants to do? She is only here to help.
