Chapter 96 - Im Back To Take What Belongs To Me... (1/2)

|Eshan|

Honestly, I had no idea if it could be Innaya's father or not behind her kidnapping. I only knew that her father was not part of her life since her childhood. There had never been a reason for me to find about him from outside sources. I wanted to earn Innaya's trust. I wanted to make her comfortable enough, so she could share  everything with me on her own. Innaya mattered to me. Nothing else did.

”No,” Arjun replied, without looking up while his fingers never stopped working.

Barun who had been silent ever since he entered the room, took a glance at Arjun. There was disapproval in his eyes as he disdainfully criticised Arjun. ”Arjun, work is not important now. We need to go to the police.”

”Yes, Eshan. Barun is right, we better hurry.” Sameer nodded his head, looking at Arjun from corner of his eyes.

Sahil's sneaking glances were not lost on me. He was being unusually silent.

I ignored him as I tried placing a face and name to the person who could be behind this.

”No need. I've hired a team. They would take care of the things. They are much faster, much efficient, and more trustworthy,” Arjun nonchalantly replied.

I had accidentally discovered Arjun's identity otherwise, I would have also questioned his actions. In other people's eyes, he was not taking the situation very seriously, but I knew better. He was the one who could be of the most help in this matter.

Maybe, it could be someone related to Innaya's grandfather. If that was the case, then grandma and mom, would be ideal choice to look for. I could not call mom though because of her health condition.

”I will call grandma. Maybe, she could help us,” I announced, forgetting that she was old too. I did not see another alternative. Maybe, Innaya's family could help regarding her enemies, I doubt if there were any. I could not be sure though.

Sahil suddenly shouted, ”Wait.” On receiving my glare, he meekly added, avoiding my gaze. ”What would you tell her? That Innaya is kidnapped? They'll be worried. We should first search...”

”Oh, now you're being thoughtful? Where was this thoughtfulness when you were being a douchebag?” I sarcastically snapped. I could still not forget his words and actions.

”I... I'm sorry,” he apologized.

The knock on the door stopped me from berating Sahil. I frowned when even after giving the permission to enter, nobody came in.

Sameer who stood closest to the door, opened it. From where I was sitting on the bed, there was no one outside in my peripheral vision. I found it strange. ”There's no one,” Sameer stated after looking around.

I accidentally discovered an envelope on the ground in front of the door when I lowered my head. My heartbeat raced up. Arjun had said that the video was delivered in the CD, so that meant the envelope might belong to those kidnappers. They might have left it there.

Arjun seemingly had noticed the envelope too for he stood up and fetched that brown envelope from the ground. Silently he closed the door, and brought the envelope inside. He did not open it straight away though.
