Anna's POV:

Lucus: Put your guns down, man, or else, she will be dead in a few seconds...

So do what I say if you want her life...

(My dad shouted and tightened his grip on my neck with the chains and yes, I may be dead if I stay in this state for a few more seconds, and I am totally confused that what my dad is doing to me...

Is he really planning to escape from the cops by using me as bait or is he really doesn't care about my life and will go to the extent to take my life in order to escape from here?

No... Anna... No...

Why your dad will take your life?

He is the one who saved you when John is trying to attack you...

Yes, my dad doesn't kill me, and he is doing all these things to escape from the cops because John targeted him to the centre of Ria's case with some false acquisitions and maybe it's tough for him to prove before justice...

But he should face the situation instead of trying to escape from the situation...

So I tried to convince my dad.)

Anna: Dad, please surrender to them, Tom will don't do anything to you, I will promise...

Please dad...

(My dad shouted at me and I am totally confused whether he shouted at me in real or he is just playing the trick to escape from the cops...

Whatever I don't want him to escape and he doesn't know he will be entered into the danger zone if he escaped from the police station because John will definitely catch him again and he will take the life of my dad as a punishment and I never let it happen, instead, I will be happy if my dad stays in the prison with the false accusations claimed by John.)

Anna: Dad...

Please...

(I am trying to loosen the chain from my neck but the more I tried the more he is gripping and I feel suffocated and my vision got blurred and I feel like I may fell into unconscious at any moment...

I can see Tom with my blurry vision and he is trying to shoot my dad but my dad hides behind me so Tom doesn't want to take advantage by firing on my dad because it may accidentally hit me, one way or the other it is good that my dad is behind me if not he will definitely get a bullet shot by now...

It's better to convince my dad but it's tough for me to spell out a word due to suffocation.)

Anna: Dad...

Please...

(the moment he listens to me he tightened his grip more tightly and I close my eyes unconditionally, I lost to take the breath and I am trying hard to take the breath but it's of no use I am taking all my strength to open my eyes and trying to take the breath but it's of no use...

I feel like I may lose my life at any second...

The immediate thought I got is Mark...

I am getting the flash of his smiling face...

Tears filled my eyes out of pain because I don't want to lose my life...

I want to spend my entire life with my Mark...

I want to enjoy his love and affection towards me...

I want to sleep in his cuddle and I want to do all the dumb acts which irritate him...

I want him to beat on my head in a teasing way...

I want to give birth to his children

I want my Mark...

I want to live my life with him...

I don't want my life to end here...

Lucus: She will be dead in a few seconds if you did not drop your guns...

Do what I say if you need her life...

(My dad shouted at Tom, I tried to open my eyes and looked at Tom with my blurred vision and Tom and the other two cops dropped their gun down in the next second.)

Tom: Lucus, leave Anna right now...

Do you think you can escape from me by baiting your daughter?

It's of no use...

Lucus: I don't want to listen to you Mr I just want to escape from this place and I am least bothered about her life too.

So if you want to save this girl's life just allow me to escape from this station. Arrange a car for me and you people are not supposed to chase me or track me and if you try, you will be seen her dead body...

Her dead body...

(That's it I hear a gunshot and I don't know where it comes from and I don't know who fired it and I don't know on whom it fired...

I looked at Tom and the other crops with my blurred vision and their guns are still on the floor and they are staring at my background with widened eyes. I don't know what's happening...

Slowly the chain on my neck got loose and I am trying to take the breath as sufficient as possible and I realise my dad is not speaking anything and I can sense some liquid is flowing on my hand and I turn my head a little to look at it and I am shocked the moment I looked at the blood which is flowing on my hand...

I immediately looked at my dad and my dad's eyes are closing unconsciously and he is about to fall...

Tom and the other cops immediately came close to me and take away the chain of the handcuffs around my neck and in the next second, my dad fell on the ground unconsciously and the blood is overflowing from his body...

I immediately pushed away Tom and went close to my dad and sit near to his face and trying to wake him up by holding his face...

Anna: dad...

Dad...

(I screamed out loudly but my dad is unconscious and he didn't even look at me. I suddenly got a flash that who might shot my dad with the gunshot...

I immediately raised my head to look at him and I am shocked the moment I looked at him...

Mark...

It's Mark...

Did Mark try to kill my dad?

I immediately started crying by taking deep sobbings and I can't take this pain anymore...

Mark: Anna...

(Mark call me with his worried tone but I did not care about him and again look at my dad and trying to wake him up by taking deep sobbings.)

Anna: dad...

Please wake up...

Please wake up dad...

Please don't leave me again...

Please don't leave me as mom did...

I need you...

Please...

(In between my cry Mark came close to me and sit beside me and wrapped his hand around my shoulder and patting me.)

Mark: Anna...

(I immediately hugged Mark and started crying.)

Anna: Why did you do this to me, Mark?

Why did you fire my dad...

I want him...

Please help me, Mark...

Mark: Anna, he tried to kill you, don't you understand how cruel he is...?

And he doesn't deserve your tears, please stop crying...

Anna: I want my dad, Mark, and he doesn't want to try to kill me...

He just wants to escape from this mess...

He is scared of everything...

He is scared to face the interrogation because John trapped him...

Believe me, Mark, he did nothing wrong, he just scared and trying to escape to get rid of this mess...

That's it...

Please...

(I tried to convince Mark by taking deep sobbings and my breath is not yet get stabilized and I am trying to take the breathing but the pain in my heart is not allowing me to come down and it leads to making me cry unconditionally.

I feel like I lost hope that my dad is alive, I wish he should get the treatment so he will be alive soon...

But I don't have the strength to look around for Mona...

And I am not sure if Mona will treat my dad or not because my dad tried to attack me and even Mona may get angry at my dad and she may not accept to treat my dad...

What should I do now?

Where I should take my dad to get the treatment?

I am totally clueless...

I am still crying by holding Mark...

Mark is the only hope I left, and yes, if I convince Mark to save my dad's life he will definitely take a step to save my dad...

Anna: Mark...

Please save my dad I want my dad, please Mark...

(I said with my cry tone and once again looked at my dad's unconscious position and he fell on the floor and the blood is flowing from his hands and I can sense he is still breathing so if the proper treatment is taken for him he will be out of danger. I once again looked at the wounded hand and by looking at the blood I suddenly feel the blurred vision and went into the unconscious by falling on Mark's c.h.e.s.t

I can hear Mark's scream...
