168 A shallow hear (1/2)

He tried to recover his memory to know what had happened that time, 'Why was Leon Harmon so angry at this girl? What did she do to enrage an animal like Leon Harmon? Was she in love with Aeon Harmon? No, Amiah was his love, then why was Leon Harmon adamant on torturing her the whole day before killing?'

Billy's fright replaced with confusion. He really didn't think of it back then, now it started bugging why Leon Harmon was a maniac.

'What was the reason?' Billy clenched his fist hearing her cold tone.

The fact was, he had no idea, And he couldn't understand why Leon hadn't raped her but chose to torture. That was so not his style. He wanted to ask her how could she be clueless when she was the target and the pressure point of Leon Harmon.

”Billy Craft!” A freezing warning tone rang in the living hall snapping Billy Craft back from his thoughts.

He blurted out hurriedly afraid she might do something to him. ”I don't know. I have no idea. I just- I just know Leon wanted to torture you without killing you. Even when we were all bored and you tried to kill yourself, he was resolute on torturing you. He wanted to see you suffer every minute for days but the lockdown of the Mocon announcement left him no choice but to kill you. I swear I don't know anything else. Your...”

Aarvi said through her teeth, ”Shhh.”

Billy shut his lips but failed to control his chattering teeth. 'Dead is alive' It repeated in his head.

She had guessed Billy had no idea, she also knew Billy wasn't lying. The easiest choice to know Leon Harmon's reason was Billy Craft which closed.

What did she do that provoked Leon Harmon? How was she going to know it?

'Dylan Harmon? A loyal dog of Leon Harmon?' Aarvi knows it wasn't going to be easy to tame Dylan Harmon. So, is she going to dethrone him without knowing the actual cause of everything?

'Control freakiness?' Aarvi's eyelids slowly widened.

When she was drugged by Grace Wells and sent to Leon Harmon's luxurious hotel suite, she had escaped from his clutch before he could defile her. 'Did it hurt his ego and pride?'

Then why didn't they defile her but chose to torture her?

It wasn't that she never thought of it, but there wasn't a concrete base to them. Her strong ability of intuition always told her, there was something she was missing. Due to that fact, she hadn't revealed her new identity yet.

Aarvi eyes focused back on Billy sniffling pungent smell and realized she scared the wits out of Billy that he peed in his pants ruining her posh custom made couch, 'Yikes'

Billy was staring at Aarvi without discerning she was in her thoughts even though her gaze was towards him. But the more serene she looked, the he lost his composure.

She paused and her gaze landed on Billy's frightened face, ”Do as instructed.” Her eyes narrowed at him sharply.

Billy heard her each word and saw her gaze. He scurried away in seconds, flung open the door and dashed to the black car, and shut the door. He yammered while the driver had an urge to puke, ”Drive Drive Drive…”

Billy had no idea it was his last day in the Mocon and was going to leave like a servant with an abundant bank balance for the rest of his lifetime

Her aim to get the crucial information - Failed.

It was nearing dusk when Aarvi drove towards Rivas Hospital to pick Aaron when her gaze caught sight of the direction signboard, 'Lake Huron'. She changed her direction to the lake.

That lake had two spots to watch the lake and spend time. One was more frequented due to the park and the other one was an unused place. It had a wooden deck over the lake for a few meters.

It was said that the city administration wanted to open a boating facility for an income and constructed the deck for the boats but it was canceled later to keep the lake water unpolluted.

But false rumors started saying a man died and his spirit troubled the construction labors hence the boating plan was stopped. That caused the public to stay away from it.
