After that episode.
Alex wasn’t paying attention to James because he was thinking about how to save himself, or else James would trap me in this case. He just couldn’t figure out a way to escape James’ hold.
After a time, James abruptly said, “What do you think?”
Alex raised his gaze to James and attempted to speak, but was unable to. Someone appeared to have seized his throat.
James smiled at Alex and squeezed his shoulders while saying, “Relax, Alex. I am aware that you are not in your own right. You don’t realize, dude, that this is our reality. “
Alex’s perspective
Our world? What is our world like?
Alex tightened his jaw and cast his eyes downward.
James won’t let me go so easily. So, what should I do now? If I can assist him in this situation, he may be saved for the time being. But I’m aware that it won’t be as simple this time. Musa will deal with this directly.
Alex gritted his teeth and looked down.
….
James was ready to smile and say something when suddenly Maria approached the stairs. James’s eyes widened as he noticed his daughter’s sorrowful expression. Maria was making her way down the stairs.
James gently called his daughter’s name, “Marin.” Maria had a solemn expression on her face and didn’t look at them.
“Dad, I don’t want to spend another second here. I have urgent work to do, “Maria said. Her voice was gloomy and her face was stern.
James narrowed his eyes and asked, “Baby, are you okay? Do you? “
But Maria interrupted her father in the middle of his speech. “I want to go home right now,” she said mindlessly.
Alex’s gaze grew tense. He wondered why Maria had suddenly urged him to return home.
She went to meet Daniel, but why did she want to return home? Did Daniel say anything?
Alex looked upstairs, but Daniel wasn’t there. He was in his room.
James nodded slowly, his gaze fixed on his daughter. He summoned Elise while looking up the stairs.
“Elise”.
…
Diana’s room.
“I’m sorry, Elise.” “Please forgive me, sweetie,” Diana said as she took her hand in hers. Elise dropped her gaze as she heard Diana speak. Diana would never agree, she knew. Diana refused to accept her daughter as a daughter-in-law. What is she supposed to do at this point? When James got to know that she wouldn’t even do this small work, he would beat Elise again.
This time, James won’t be kind to her. Maria, too? She had the same temper as her father. Elise took a few breaths before gradually closing her eyes. They abruptly heard James’ voice. He was mentioning Elise by name. Elise stared with fearful awe at Diana.
Despite being far away, Elise could sense the rage in his voice. She had intimate knowledge of her hubby. So she swiftly sprang out of bed. “Diana, he’s calling me,” she remarked to Diana. “I have to go downstairs.”
Diana opened her lips to speak, but Elise didn’t wait for Diana’s response. Elise hurried out of the room before Diana had a chance to answer.
Diana sighed after a time as she stared down Elise’s path. “What has just happened that James needs to talk to Elise,” Diana muttered.
She didn’t simply remain seated; she also arose from her bed and left the room. Diana descended and saw how tense and clunky the atmosphere was. She turned to face her husband, but he didn’t appear to be aware of the situation.
It was comparable to a dark cloud before a storm. But no one was able to predict how or when the storm could come.
James abruptly said, in a hoarse voice, “Where have you been?”
Elise lowered her gaze and replied, “I was talking with Diana about Maria and Daniel.” James’ tone abruptly softened upon hearing Elise.
He smiled and said, “Oh, I see, but—”
But, once again, Maria interrupted her father in the middle of his speech. “I am waiting outside,” she said loudly.
She left the room without waiting for her father to respond. Diana’s brow furrowed when she saw Maria in this position. She was aware that Maria was an arrogant, rude girl who had no sense of manners. But she was wondering why that girl was acting so strangely. Maria was the one who was most eager to come. If Daniel was with her, she didn’t want anything, but what occurred now caused her to want to go without dinner.
Diana suddenly held her breath as she suspected something awful had happened between Maria and Daniel.
What if Daniel treated her badly?
Diana motioned to Alex while keeping a worried gaze on him. Alex, though, remained silent and sighed instead. He did not want to endure any more pressure when he was already under pressure. He was too worn out at that moment.
He didn’t want to interrupt whatever was going right now. Daniel had the right to say anything he wanted to Maria. He could have protected his beloved if he wanted to. No one should stop or question it.
James and Elise were both taken aback when they saw their daughter. They were unable to grasp what had happened to her. Elise was aware that her kid had issues; no one could tell whether she was in a good or bad mood. However, something has happened recently to change her mood. Then why?
Diana stepped up and asked, “Is everything alright? What is wrong with Maria?
“I don’t know,” James answered tensely. “She just went to meet Daniel, but-.” Then he abruptly stopped talking and narrowed his gaze.
Diana and Alex exchanged a glance. James asked in a calm voice as he raised an eyebrow at them, “Did Daniel tell Maria something?”
Diana was taken aback when she heard James’s statements. By bringing up that topic, she has merely set herself up for a trap. She finally realized why Alex remained silent. He made no effort to stop them in any way. Diana sighed and retorted, “No, why should my son say something to Maria that would hurt her?”
James furrowed his brow and was ready to say something to Diana, but Elise interrupted. “James, I guess she has things to do,” Elisa remarked. “We have to get going; Maria is waiting for us.”
Elise was attempting to help Alex and Diana. She was aware of what had happened to her daughter. Diana was promptly bid farewell by Elise.
“Diana, we’re going or Maria will be upset with us again,” Elise replied with a smile. However, the brightness was missing from her smile.
James and Elise hastily departed the mansion. When Diana followed them outside, it was apparent that she had spotted how angry Maria looked and how glum she seemed. After they had left, Diana entered the home and questioned Alex tensely, “Babe, I think Daniel told her something. That’s why she was like that. I need to speak with him.”
Alex heard Diana but said nothing to her. He observed Diana making a quick ascent to the second floor.
Diana knocked on Daniel’s door and asked him to open it. She was anxious about her son. She had just rejected Elise’s proposal, and Daniel had said something to Maria. All of these things simply messed everything up. She couldn’t think of anything else to do to save them.
“Daniel baby, open the door. They have left our home. Maria looked so disappointed. Did you say something to her? “Diana asked worriedly. After knocking so many times, she heard the cracking sound of the door. Diana pushed the door open and went into the room. She found Daniel was sitting on the bed. He was looking through a magazine. When she approached Daniel, she grimaced and said, “Daniel, did you do something?”
Diana was completely puzzled. Her tone was bewildered.
Daniel heard his mother and then turned over the pages. He did not bother to respond to his mother. “I am asking you something, Daniel,” Diana said solemnly as she perched on the side of the bed. She yanked the magazine out of his grip as she asked.
Daniel reacted abruptly, “Mom,”
…..
“What, mom?” “What did you do?” Diana said fiercely. Daniel rolled his eyes and replied solemnly, “I did what I needed to do.” How could they possibly threaten us in that manner? Are they better than us? What the hell do they think of themselves?”
Diana stated, “Daniel, she didn’t even respond, and she didn’t even say anything to her dad.”
Daniel grumbled and got out of bed. He appeared lost and expressed that he no longer wanted to discuss this. He then said, “Please, mom, I’m exhausted. I don’t want to discuss this any more.”
“hey,” Diana sprang up furiously from the bed and approached him. She gripped his arm and forced him to look at her.
Daniel yanked his hand while giving a grating expression.
“Daniel, I’m worried about you, honey.” What if they…”
But Daniel interrupted his mother in the middle of her speech. “Mom, they won’t harm us in any way. Like James, we are also powerful,” Daniel said fiercely. His rage was visible in his eyes.
“Daniel, could you kindly stop talking?” “Your father and I were working so hard to do everything under our control, and suddenly you simply screwed everything up,” Diana said.
“Mom, enough is enough. Am I a thief or what that we can’t even do anything publicly?” Daniel said at the top of his voice. He had become completely frustrated by all of these things. It seemed Maria just caged him up.
“I shouldn’t have come here,” Daniel said, squinting his eyes tight and touching his forehead. ” I find a lot of peace in Sheetal’s.”
“Daniel, you ungrateful brat, how dare you say that? ” We are doing everything for you and you are saying you find peace in Sheetal’s home,” Diana said as she smacked Daniel’s back.
“Mom, what are you wanting me to say? I’m simply going to fade up,” Daniel said. He sat down on the bed.
“Baby, I understand but-” Diana was going to add something when they heard Daniel’s father’s voice. “There is no but, Diana,” Alex said as he pushed the door open and came in. “Whatever he wants to do, let him.”
“What are you saying?” Diana asked in a tense tone.
“Whatever I’m saying is just good for Daniel. Let him take care of the matter. He had faith in his father’s authority. “Now let’s go with me,” Alex said as he took Diana’s hand in his and walked out of the room. Daniel was watching his parents as they walked. He didn’t understand what his father had said. Why did he say this so abruptly?
Daniel’s point of view.
What is the matter with Dad now? I am certain that James threatened my dad. My father did not assist him, so it is apparent that he would put my father under pressure. Furthermore, his daughter is much worse. I didn’t even understand her reasoning against me.
****.
Daniel held his head in his hands. He felt both heartbroken and furious. He couldn’t believe his best friend would do anything like this to him. He was most affected by it. He never thought that Maria would do it with him. He was aware that Maria loved him, but he attempted to keep their relationship in the friend zone. But Maria ruined it all.
Daniel took a deep breath and glanced up at the ceiling.
Next episode.
Sheetal sprang out of bed and said loudly, “Who? Who is there?”
She walked in the balcony and glanced around, but she couldn’t see anyone there. When she couldn’t find anyone, she gradually shifted her focus. But as she was ready to leave the balcony, she turned around and gazed back.
Was she looking forward to someone?
To be continued.
