210 Kill him (1/2)

Then he started calling her. He was using some device to change his voice to a mechanical tone.

She couldn't recognize the voice. This blackmailer knew some of her secrets. So what! He had no proof. But in any case, she had to dig him out. As she was thinking about it, her phone beeped.

It was another message from the same number.

He sent a video.

She was shocked. Her trembling fingers clicked on the play button.

When it ended, she was sweating, trembling in panic. Her pale, bloodless face turned ugly. She didn't expect this!

As she expected, he called again.

She somehow appeased the fire and used a soft sweet voice, ”What do you want? I will do as you say. Let's meet. ”

So she tried to lure him.

”Ha..ha...ha” A ghastly laugh was heard from the other side. Clara's eyelashes shook as she tried to calm herself.

Her cold pair of eyes were touched by murderous intent.

I will kill this man!

Once I know who the person is, it will be his last day on earth.

After a burst of laughter. He said, ”It's so much fun. Just a video was enough to change your attitude 360 degrees. I could use this in many ways! Imagine you being the star of many sites. Frankly, you are better than any star I've seen.”

”No ... no ... I will meet all your demands. You delete it. Please.” she added.

”Patience, baby. I will tell you slowly.” With this, he hung the phone.

”Wait....” Her nails pierced her skin till she bled.

She threw her phone to the wall, and it burst into pieces.

It was the hotel recording of the time she spent with Ak. Jain.

It was merely of their time they were xoxo. If the blackmailer uploads it online, it will hurt her image.

The thought of thousands of people seeing her like that gave her goosebumps.

A white lotus-like Clara could accept everything but not defamation.

Her sweet, silly alter-ego was her shield. It was the face the world liked.

It would cause harm to her image, but she could pull off as the victim here. She tried to calm herself with this thought.

Then she bit her lip hard. With pain, her eyes shed a tear. She got another phone from her bag and pressed the dial button.

After a few whimpers, ”What you told me tonight, Is it true?”

A gentle magnetic voice soothed her, ”Are you crying? Why are you still afraid?” Then he raised his voice, ”Jain family is finished. You don't need to worry about it. No one could do anything to you!”

”Hmm, I'm not! I just remembered those things.” Her grievances rushed out as she cried on the phone.

”I'm tired.” She choked.

”Okay, you sleep. Call me if you need anything.”
