PART THIRTY

Scarlett Finney's POV

"It is that guy from the party. Davis Miller." I said.

"What?" I heard him shout. "Hell no. Stay put. The bodyguards will be there in few minutes. I need to go." I heard him say and cut the call.

"Chris?" I tried back but the line was engaged. I'm sure that with a rage in which he spoke, he would definitely kill him.

Pick up the damn phone. I tried again.

As I called Stephen and walked out of my door, I just felt a sharp pain in my back of the head and found everything go blank.

I sensed that I am going to hit the floor and my body was not responding. I fell on something flat and it didn't pain because everything was black and blank.

Silence!

Not even a small sound.

Not even the breeze.

I felt my sense slowly regaining. Bit by bit...

My head was spinning. I wasn't able to move. As everything felt a little normal after few minutes, I opened my eyes. There was complete darkness.

It was as if I had my eyes shut tightly. I turned around trying to figure out where I am. Not even a ray of light. I wasn't even sure whether there is a wall anywhere.

And then there was a sudden beam of light that literally frightened me.

I blinked a few times to adapt my eyes to the light. But the light was fluctuating.

I closed my eyes tight but it snapped open in fright.

This was my dream. I have had a dream like this. I stood up but stumbled and fell down. Right then, the door opened and I saw him.

It was Davis.

No. It is Addin, the one who killed my family. I felt my blood heat up.

How dare he? I stood up.

"Dr Scarlett Finney? How are you?" He said in deep throated creepy voice that almost echoed in the silence.

"What the hell do you want?"

"Me? Nothing. I just want you dead." That sent a shiver through my spine. He walked towards and then around me.

"You know why?" He asked standing right behind me. I stood impassive.

"Because, you troubled my baby sister's life. She didn't want you. She wanted to be happy and you kept disturbing her." I heard him say incoherent things.

"But I didn't do anything. I don't even know her then." I defended myself automatic.

What was I thinking while saying that? He would leave me? He will not. I know it but still I did.

"No." He said and stepped in front of me.

"No No. You didn't. But he did. He talked about you. He did because you still existed. What if you didn't? You would never come back to him."

"I was never going to even then..." I tried to speak up but the blood oozing out from his head made him look terrifying and kept me shut.

"Stop, speaking while I'm and tell me how damn did you escape the blast? I was sure that the bomb would fire up the whole car. Wait! You didn't get in the car. My bad. I should have double checked. Pity me! My mistake. This won't happen now. Because now..." He said as he walked and stood near the door.

"... I am going to kill you with my own hands. Making sure how much you suffer the pain..." I swallowed in fear.

"I..." My voice trembled.
