She was completely numb at the sight that stood in front of her. Many computers stood there which were monitoring some people. Most of them being successful businessmen. Some of the people's pictures were hung on a black notice board and marked with red sketch. It seemed as if Rakshit was tracing some businessmen. To a more shocking fact the businessmen whom he marked weren't normal. They were the best. A wave of horror swept across heras she noticed something horrific. Almost every single one of them had a daughter who died due to unknown reasons lately.

She opened a file lying there on the table.
Name- Aisha Malhotra
Reason of death- Poisoned
Dated- 12October 2019

She found many such other files and details. There was a pink colored file which caught her attention. It was wrapped securely and looked totally different from others. Something was special and not so common about it. It seemed difficult. She took baby steps towards it while her heart kept pounding in her chest. Sweat beads appeared on her forehead and the perspiration trickled down her face and her jaw line. She opened it with trembling hands. All she could see was a picture of her own self when she heard sudden loud banging on the door.

She heard Rakshit's voice which made her run upstairs after placing everything in order. She cleaned her face with a towel and opened the door. No sooner did she open the door than he rushed towards her and hugged her. He shut the door with his foot and looked at her. "Cutie. Are you fine?" He asked concerned. Her lips parted to form words but only a slight hm slept her mouth. "What were you doing?" He was asking her indirectly cuz he knew she would tell him about the basement if she had entered. "Just watching tv." She didn't want him to know about the basement thing. She wanted to be safe and know why her picture was among the girls and why was her file so special.

"Are you okay Sugar?" She tried to act normal and managed to do so pretty well. He nodded and went to take a shower. Using that bit of time she managed to steal his phone. But alas it was locked! Only a perfect password and fingerprint could open it. After all he was a hacker. She was trying to open the phone but even after several attempts she couldn't. It was her last try so she left. It may raise his suspicion. She was about to put his phone down when a message popped on his screen.
She is so dead.

This single text horrified her. Who was that she? Who was the person? Several unanswered questions which he obviously won't answer or let her know about. Was someone targeting her? Was he trying to kill her?

The voice of the turning of the door knob made her keep the phone down with a bang. She turned around to find Rakshit entering the room in his trousers while drying his hair. Her jaw dropped when she saw his well built physique. She couldn't take his eyes off him. He smirked seeing her reaction and walked upto her. "Don't see me like this cutie. I will blush. Oh no. I will die. Are you planning to snatch my respect?" He giggled while she kept staring at him with her jaw dropped. Shameless!

"Cutie!!!" He shook her bringing her back to reality. She looked at him and ran away out of embarrassment because of her drooling session. Meanwhile the same question kept arising her mind. They had their meal and watched a movie. All the time she tried to beahve normal so that he didn't get any sort of suspicion. Later at night she cuddled into him while he safely hugged her. When she slept he was admiring her face. Care, concern and fear was visible on his face. Care for her safety, concern for her and fear of THEM.
