I felt heaviness on my waist and I opened my eyes as fast as I can , looked at the hand and held onto my breath with fear of possibilities that it might be him. I felt slow breath on my neck and I could smell the minty cologne...... I looked infront to see my baby sleeping clutching a small white cushion and one of my finger with his other hand..

I moved a little front and turned my face back to look at a man. I sighed that it was not whom I thought but the next second I gulped in fear looking at him. His face had few tattoos and I looked down to see his naked torso filled with tattoos! Completely!

He looks dangerous! Even in his sleep! Wait! Who is this man and why is he sleeping on my bed?!

An I already sold?

To some goons!? Oh god! I shouldn't have trusted that Rodriguez!

Wait...but.... I'm still in my room...

I held onto my breath and touched his hand , after making sure that he wouldn't wake up with my touch. I held his wrist with my two fingers and tried lifting it but I couldn't. Damn. Why are all these men heavy?

I felt toxic even as the thought of touching this man.

I applied some more energy and raised up his hand and kept it on his stomach. I took my baby in my arms and immediately got off the bed. I ran till the door and opened it. I ran into the corridor and then down the stairs.

I was trying to catch up my breath until I saw Adrian and Phenolpe Rodriguez coming inside the hall ways. I went to them and they too came fast seeing me.

" there's a....man in in in my room " I said trying to control my breath from running.

" what?!

Let's check " Adrian said and removed his gun from waist belt , ran up the stairs with me and Phenolpe following him as fast as we can.

As soon as I entered the room, Adrian was talking to the man and in the middle of their not understanble incoherent conversation he addressed him as 'brother'.

Seriously? They are siblings?

But Adrian and Phenolpe look good, I mean elegant and beautiful....fuck mu description...but this other guy looks no where similar to them!

I stood there with my wide accusing eyes, Ofc what more can you expect from a woman who found herself on the next day in the arms of another man whom she dosen't even know?!.

I tried controlling my glare.

Keyword-tried * .

" Mrs. Arjun

This is Alexander Rodriguez

My elder brother " Adrian introduced the tattoo man and that man saw me coldly. Well same goes to him from my side to. Cold glare.

He was having tattoos covering his whole body and I think he is having those on his legs too but as he is wearing a full pant I can't see them. He looked at me with his pearcing gaze and I looked back at him.

Who does he think of himself ?

Even I too have a couple of bucks and anger issues,

so what gives him the right to dominate me?.

He left the room after wearing his shirt infront of us.

.Awkward.

Phenolpe patted my back and they both left the room.

What a beautiful begining of my my day. Sarcasm.

I took shower along with little boy and then wore a loose blue shirt and mom jeans with a peach scarf as hijab. I made my Ibbu wear a blue shirt and then put on socks to his small feet and rolled them a little.

I went down the stairs and looked around the whole hall with baby on my waist and a milk powder box in my other hand.

As soon as I spotted a maid, I asked her for the direction of kitchen and she lead me the way.

Crystal kitchen? Seriously?...

Rich people... They should have got their lavatory in gold too...

I boiled some water though the maid said that she would do it , but now I won't trust anyone with my son or myself. I heated the water and then put the powder and mixed it.

After sometime, I gave the bottle to him and made him sit on the kitchen island.

I took a few fruits and started preparing fruit smash for him.

" Maa Maa Maaaa " he started singing his Maa song again and I started humming in response. Whenever he calls me, my heart fills with love, emotions and responsibility...

After I was done with preparing his breakfast, I took it in a box with spoon and went outside the mansion.

There was a big garden but not as big as our house I guess.

Our house?

Cha. I scoffed at my thoughts

I erased those thoughts and kept the box on a table.

He had his milk just now so I can't push food into his stomach instantly na ,so I made rasgulla walk by holding his soft little hand in my big one and later he played around while I sat on the grass.

After an hour, I fed him and he ate quitely sitting on my right thigh and I was sitting on the grass . He started speaking and I hummed in response though I didn't understand anything.... So I started speaking shit..

" no Ibbu you can't have a girl friend now! You haven't even turned 16 !?leave about that

U haven't been in nursery! " I said flying my free hand in Air exacerbating .

" chi chu pe you keee " he said flying both his hands and then looked at my face waiting for response.

" no kid

You ain't gonna have a girl friend.

Or else I will cut your monthly allowances and seize your bike too.

Mark it, I'm your mom " I said looking at him dead panned and he just looked at my face and then turned to the other side and started pulling grass with a pout...

I smiled and started tickling him and started laughing....baby laughs are best therapy!....

Oh wait.

Why did he put a pout?

Could he understand me?!

Oh shit. How could I forget that he could behave and understand me when I talk to him. He practically listens to what ever I say!

I should be more careful with him... I have to teach him more better values and make him walk in the path of dharma.

He is too matured for his age...

Was it because of all the events that he has faced in his life?...

I have to make sure that he stays more happy and forget everything...

I will make sure that he would nag like other children rather than behaving like an adult...

We went inside and I had my breakfast in kitchen itself , with rasgulla playing with jerms.

He was giggling as jerms licked his face and I too was having a smile on my face when he scrunched his nose...

After I was done with the breakfast, I was about to get on the stairs when Butler informed me that a doctor has come.

I nodded and looked at the door way to see a doctor in his white coat and I gulped...I should have been dressed up like that and would have been attending the patients in my clinical posting...

I erased those painful thoughts and went near the door.

" Mrs. Arjun? "

" yes, you can call me Lakshmi,

doctor

This way up please " I said and took him and attending nurse to my room directly with Ibbu on my waist.

As soon as we entered the room, I closed the door . I laid Ibbu on bed.

" doctor,

My son has an automated micro container placed in his cubital fossa, in arm. Please remove it and it's attached to artery in it , as far as I know there is a needle to the container too, which is not out of the container still, please remove it very very carefully, making sure that the contents of the microcontainment dosen't leak "I said in a single breath and he nodded.

The doctor gave him a general anesthesia and after my son was completely unconscious, he removed my sons dress. He cleaned the surface for operation and I went away from there. After an hour, they were wrapping up everything and the doctor informed me that it was removed. He gave me the microcapsule and I nodded thanking him with tears in my eyes....

Finally I got rid of this....

I asked the doctor to check his whole body again and doctor did it. He said there are no immediate scars seen. Even though I checked my son's body but I want to make sure of it.

"may I know what's in the container?" he asked and I looked the micro container.

" gray death " I said and looked down... It still gives me chills to even spell it....

{ it's the most powerful combination of heroin and opioids that will lead to death instantly depending on the concentration.... It's highly fatal }

" what?!

Don't hold it in your bear hands, put that in this glove " he said and he removed a fresh set of gloves and I kept the capsule in it.

I looked at my son's hand which is covered with white gauge. The doctor has prescribed me vitamin tablets after assessing me.... He was staring at me and I shuddered, I guess he can see through what I was hiding....

He asked me to take care of my body as I was weak and I nodded.

After he left, I lied beside my son and looked at his peaceful face in the bright room.

I will always keep you safe and happy.. I will try my best... I will be your shield and face it first... I wouldn't let anything happen to you...

Anymore...

...Trust your mother...

I left him in the room and went down to see jerms near the door. As soon as he saw me, he started wagging it's tail vigorously... What does he want?

Oh shit!

I didn't feed him still!

I asked the maid if they have any dog food and she said yes.

I took a bowl of dog food and went out. I sat on the pavement and kept the bowl down. Jerms started eating and rubbed his head....

" you know what jerms

If it wasn't for you

Then we wouldn't be able to escape from there....

Thanks alot jerms...

In reward, I will buy a biggggggggu

Bone

What do you say? " I said and he looked at me for her seconds barked and then ate it's food....

" how about I get you a girlfriend?

How about a wife ha? " he stared at me for few seconds and then ignored me completely and started eating...

" no!

Don't say me you are a gay " I said and I love teasing people, especially this short temper dog. As expected he braked loudly at me twice as if saying me to 'shut up' and he continued eating...

Why do I feel like he said me ' are you insane? ' ' have you gone nuts? '

' oh please, let me have food ' with eyes rolling.... Wait.... Damn this dog is mocking me!

But wait....

I love him...

I said it out loud and hugged him around, jerms started barking and then got out of grip and started eating again...

Attitude ke Bacha.

I huffed.

Wait... How does the dog food taste?

I mean... I never tasted it before... Would it taste bland as they show in TV?

Lemme just check its taste.

I was about to put my finger and this extra IQ dog already took the bowl and ran away....

Sure dogs know what's going on in their masters brain.

I went back inside the mansion and the rest of the day passed by , with me dilly dallying with my son and jerms.

At dinner

We all were eating

and suddenly Mr. Rodriguez spoke.

" lakshmi,

You will be working from tomorrow as a secretory to my son Alexander."
