AZAR’S POV
I look back at Ara, and she was eating her food peacefully but making her face from time to time.
I shook my head at her tantrum but then told Aunt Nina to give her medicine and make sure she rested.
Hearing me, Aunt Nina smiled and gave her a playful look.
I look back at her, and without my words, she knows what I am trying to say. I could see the blush on her face, but she composed herself, nodding in agreement.
I love the way she understands me.
I looked at Grandfather and said, “Grandfather, I have some important work. I will be back in a few hours.” I got up from my seat.
Hearing this, he nodded, and I left for my study.
Now it is time to know what is happening.
I reached my study and noticed James was standing near the table, locking his hand behind his back, and waiting for me. I gave him a nod and sat in my chair.
“Tell me, James, what you have got.” I asked, leaning on my chair.
Hearing this, he bows down and says, “Sire, before I get the result from the laboratory, I have checked the restaurant from where the food has come. But there is nothing wrong with their side, as the same food has been eaten by other people. However, I checked the CCTV footage of the kitchen and got to know that the food had been made perfectly.
I nod to him so he can go on.
“Then my second doubt was on the delivery guy, but I have checked that he cannot do anything. But then, last time I checked, amm.”
I raised my eyebrow and asked, “You checked what, James”?
I could see he was sweating profusely, then said, “Sire, I checked the CCTV on our security system.”
I again nodded and encouraged him to speak.
“And our system has no recording of that one hour from the time I dropped the food on our doorstep.
I was calmly looking at her, waiting for him to finish.
“Sire, someone has hacked our system and deleted that one of our recordings, but when we were doing the security system, I installed one invisible camera on the opposite side of the wall on the door as just in case anything happened, we have another option as well, and this camera works with no electricity as it has a chip that saves past seven days of recording.”
I asked again and asked, “Have you found anything”?
He looked down and said yes and “no.”
I again raised my eyebrow in a way asking to explain, so he said, “Sire, someone was there in a black long overcoat, and the rest you can see in this,” and handed me his phone.
I looked at the recording. Someone was wearing a long black overcoat, black boots, and an enormous hat big enough to hide his face as he came towards the door. I was looking at him, and his actions made my blood boil.
The day I find this guy, I will give him death, which he cannot even imagine in his dreams. He closed the container, kept the bag as it was, and left from there.
I closed my eyes to control my anger, picked up a glass of water from my table, and drank it all in one go.
I looked at James and asked, “After this much security, how come someone has reached here?”
He looked down in shame. “Sire, someone broke the staircase door and came from there.”
I closed my eyes to control my anger and asked him for some more details.
“Find out who is behind this. I need my answer in a week. Got it?”
“Yes, Sire,”
“Increase My Queen’s security, and if this time anything happens, even to her hair, I will feed you and your entire team to my hungry dogs.
He shivered and said, yes, sir, nothing will happen next time.
James is my best security man, and I know he will do anything to keep Ara safe.
I nodded at him, and he left the room.
I closed my eyes and tried to join the strings, but nothing is helping right now.
ARA POV
I called Vi and asked her for the latest update about the work progress and told her to give my laptop to my driver. He will be there some time.
agreed and asked me why I had not come to the office. I told her I was not well, as I don’t want her to worry about knowing the real reason for my being home.
I was checking my mail when I heard the sound of my car unlocking. I looked up and noticed an angry Azar.
Now, what happened to him?
Before I asked anything, he came to me like a tornado, hugged me tightly, and put his head on my bosom.
Dude, this guy needs to learn some manners. And why can’t he understand that this type of gesture makes me uneasy?
“Uneasy really”? My mind mocked
Ok, fine, let us say I like it, but this butterfly dance in my stomach makes me uneasy.
I know he is inhaling my body scent. My hand automatically went in his hair, and my fingers started massaging his scalp.
I know he is worried, but I am fine now. Why is he still worried, or, let us say, why is he angry?
Yup, he is angry right now. Hell angry.
Thinking of this, my voice came out as a whisper, and I asked, “Sire, what happened? You are looking tensed.” He says nothing and stays in the same position.
“Is everything okay?” Again, I have not gotten an answer.
Gosh, why has he gone into mute mode suddenly?
Now he is pissing me off.
I held his face; he gently turned towards me, and I asked, “Now tell me what happened.” He was looking at me with a calm expression, but I know better-it is anything but calm.
I was rubbing my thumb on his cheeks unknowingly, and my eyes suddenly stopped on his.
