My Neighbour

Suspicion

ETIENNE'S POV

'Eyes are windows to the soul.'This can be clearly said for my angel.Her wonderful eyes tell all stories be it be sadness,happiness,anxiousness or anger.These days she is desperate.Desperate to see her father.I didn't want to tell her about her father,and the moment I saw Natalia losing her grip and falling,my heart went out of my body.But I know which daughter wouldn't want to know about her dad?

While Natalia was talking to her mother.I cleared my office chores.I also got an email from my private detective who was hired by my Dad.I strictly mentioned not to call me on my phone which could tamper my princess's happiness.He asked me to meet him at my penthouse.I cannot involve Nat's mother in this.She's already quite shaken up by this accident.

I don't want to leave my baby but she's right.I'm stinking though.uggghh.
After much debate I left her reluctantly.
After dropping Bethany at her home I directly went to my penthouse.I shaved, showered and put on fresh clothes.
While my chef has prepared pasta for me,I wasn't in the mood of eating.I don't know why but I was having a bad feeling.

Just then there was a knock and in came my detective.No one knows his real name but he is called Sherlock.Cliched much right?

"Hello there Mr.Sherlock.How have you been?"
"I'm doing fine Mr.Martin.Your father gave me this case about your girlfriend's accident."

I really like this man.He doesn't beat about the bush and means straight business.
"I want to know about your business rivals,person with whom you've done recent dealing and your past girlfriends."
I nodded."What else?"
"Can you tell me about Natalia's personal life though?"
"Well I don't know much about her as we've recently started dating but she had a boyfriend in Davenport and they broke off after two years when Natalia caught him cheating.
She has recently moved here and is working in Chicago Public School.She is adored by children and is quite popular amongst fellow colleagues."I said proudly.

Whatever I was saying Sherlock kept on writing on a notepad.
"Was anyone jealous of her?I mean becoming popular in a short span of time and all."
"Not that I know of."

"Well one thing I'm sure.It wasn't a normal accident.Someone tried to kill her.Her father just intervened the killer's devious plan."
"So you do think someone is behind all this?"
"Honestly I can't quite put finger on it but I strongly feel that something is not adding up.
Tinted glass,high speed,hit and run.Its all too good to be true."
Etienne felt the same way.
"And that is why you are here."He stated as a matter of fact.
"Anyway what's your suggestion?'
"My suggestion for you would be to install security for both yourself and your girlfriend."
"Anything else?"
"And don't leave her alone.The killer might be anyone."
I nodded."You are right."
"Don't worry as soon as I get any lead I'll inform you."
"Thank you Sherlock."I noticed the time and saw it was very late.
"I should get back to the hospital."
I shook hand with him and with that he departed.
I quickly got to my room and carried my overnight duffle bag.I locked my apartment and directly went to the hospital.
For some reason unknown,I had that nagging feeling that something bad is going to happen.I drove fast and reached the hospital.Just as the door to the elevators opened.I heard gunshot.It was followed by another gunshot.I was alarmed,my heart beating rapidly.I heard Nat crying for help.
"Oh my God."
I ran towards her and saw her limping towards me crying out save me.
I ran towards her and held her.I shouted for security.I didn't see anyone moving out of Natalia's room.I have to check the cctv.
I carried Natalia bridal style and took her to a safe place.Meanwhile doctors,security,nurses came running towards us.
"How the heck did anyone went inside her room?"
I roared as soon as I stepped outside Natalia's room
Where the hell is the security?
They all looked shamefaced while I was boiling with anger.
"I'll deal with this later.Doctor please check Natalia."I ordered frantically,sweat trickling down my face.More than one doctor checked her vitals,gave her an injection and rebandaged her leg wounds which had started to bleed.

"Ms Taylor is fine Mr.Martin.I have checked her.She must have fainted from exhaustion.Rest is the best medicine for her right now.And please avoid stress."
I nodded."She's fine though?"
"She will be fine."Doctors assured me.I exhaled in relief.
"I need top-notch security for her."
"We'll definitely see to it Mr.Martin.".I called my security to guard her 24/7.
I also called my father and Drake and informed them as well.I asked Sherlock to visit the hospital.In the meantime,police involvement has also become necessary.So I called the police.
Sometime later the police came.I was moving back and forth like a caged lion frantic for my release.
"We need your report Mr.Martin."One of the police officials stated.
"I'll come to the station and give my report.Also I need a tight security both inside and outside the hospital."I said in my businesslike tone.
"That can be arranged Mr.Martin.I would speak to my official and let them know the situation."
"Please do everything necessary for my girlfriend's protection."
"We assure you."
They nodded and dispersed taking reports from every eye witness.
Someone is trying to kill my Nat.Who could that be?God I swear I'm going to kill that son of a bitch.I clenched my fist.
I reached Nat's room,got on her bed and held her tightly.
Why O' why did I leave her today?I mentally berated myself.I stay awake for a long time.My eyes staring at the ceiling.After a long time exhaustion took me over and I drifted off to sleep....

Hey guys,
Is sherlock right?Someone wants Natalia dead?Who could that be?For more updates keep reading.Love ya....
