Chapter 201 - How Things Fell Apart (5) (2/2)

”Careful.” A male voice rang out from my left side.

Startled, I struggled more when I heard that concerned foreign male voice. At the same moment how my mother-in-law locked me out of my house appeared before my closed eyes.

My shoulders were held by someone, and the pain shooting in my head only worsened. I opened my eyes a little forcefully. The face of the man looming over mine made me cower back reflexively as my vision got clear. I never wanted to be in the company of this unpredicatable man. Why was he here?

”You've hurt your head. Don't move around hastily,” he said, stepping back while his eyes were filled with concern.

I kept my guard up as his words registered in my mind.

”What are you doing here?” I asked him.

”What you were doing outside on your own? How could you be so careless to ignore your safety? Do you know what could have happened? How can you be so careless? Don't you care about yourself? Don't you know how dangerous it is out there? You—”

Ignoring his ranting I looked around to find a way to leave. I did not want to stay in his company. How did I end up with him? When my eyes fell upon the area beside me, I failed to recognize the room.

I found myself in an extremely unfamiliar room. I was lying on the queen-sized bed, and there was a drip attached to my left arm. The interior of the room was simple as the blue and cream color walls held nothing but the paintings of nature. The beautiful paintings of mountains, rivers, lakeside, and whatnot, gave the room a calming atmosphere. However, I felt the storm rising inside me.

I did not know how I ended up in this place. All I remembered was the spell of dizziness that had washed over me before I had lost my consciousness.

”Why am I here?” I asked him, interrupting whatever he was speaking. Right at the moment, I did not wish to indulge in any sort of wordplay with him. I wanted to know why I was here, and how could I leave from here.

My head did not cease hurting.

”Stop stressing.”

”Karan, did you kidnap me again? Why won't you let me be?” I cried out in frustration. The last time when I had been kidnapped, Eshan had found me in the end. This time, I could not even wish for the same.

”NO.” He yelled before he toned down his voice, ”I found you unconscious on the ground, and all alone. I don't know how long you were there. I took you back to your house but it was locked. I could not get in contact with your husband. So, I had no other option but to bring you back with me. You have hurt your head. It looked like you have hurt it badly as the corner of your forehead was bleeding.” He finished as he sat down in the chair by my bedside. ”The doctor said, the wound is superficial it would heal in a couple of days. You need plenty of rest and food. You can't starve yourself.”

I looked down at the IV needle in my skin. Karan's explanation did not have anything suspicious because when I connected the dots, what he said was quite possible. I was locked out. Eshan must be in the meeting, and after what had happened last time, it was most likely that he would not answer Karan's call.

”What happened? Where's Eshan?” He asked.

Once he asked that question, I could not help but look away to the far corner.

Eshan was not here, and his mother wanted me to leave him for forever. Recalling about the incident from the morning, I ended up tearing again. The people who were family refused to show humanity, and the man whom I did not know that well ended up helping me big time.

He was right. Anything could have happened when I was unconscious. Then again, those two women would have been happy that they got rid of me easily. I should not have left the mansion. At most I could have stayed in the garden…

Garden.

Thinking about garden, I suddenly realised that I had left Fortune there...
