Amara was slowly getting her consciousness back, though her body was aching mercilessly she still wanted to open her eyes. She wanted to make sure Ric was fine and living. Loving him had never been easy for her but she always did. And now when she know the reality she will never let anyone come in between her. Slowly but surely she will reincarnate their love.

“R….R…Ric..”

Her voice meek and gentle as her throat was still sore and dry.

“Christ..She is waking up.”

“Where is boss?”

“He is in the meeting room. What should we do? Should I go and call him?”

“ You know we are not allowed to disturb when all the Blacks are in one room.”

“He will kill us Robert if she opens her eyes and he is not the first one to watch those orbs.”

“Are you serious?”

“Dead serious.”

“Fine then. I’ll go and call him. But if I get killed Christ tell my nonna I love her the most.”

“You are fuckin crazy. Go now..”

“God save me.”

IN THE MEETING ROOM

“I don’t want to hear any excuse. Their whole clan will suffer because of their leader’s mistake. I have a plan to make them pay for this. After killing that motherfuck*r ,his area will also be ours. So it’s a win win situation for us.”

“Ric, I still thinking you are moving too fast. You know any decision done in anger will always result in negative.”

“Who said I am angry brother? I’m not angry. I’m fucking mad. Either today or tomorrow I would’ve killed him. So the earlier the better.”

“Son, I think you need to calm down. First get married to Leah and then we will deal with this issue.”

“For the umpteenth time, stop calling me son. And I have postponed the marriage. Unless and until Amara get perfectly healthy, there will be no celebration in this house.”

Knock knock

Before his father could reply the knock on the door prevented him. Ric knew no one would dare to disturb them while they are in meeting unless it’s an emergency. With a blink of an eye he was in front of the person behind the door.

“What is it..?”

“Sir.. It’s the lady. She is gaining her consciousness.”

Before Robert could finish Ric was out of the room. He ran towards the medical wing. His blood pumping furiously through his heart. The need of seeing her getting intensified with each passing moment. Standing on the door he prepared himself to look into her eyes and this time without any drugs affecting her. Standing beside her bed, he called her. His tone full of unrequited love and emotions. Ric was trying very hard to appear nonchalant but his voice gave away what he felt at the moment.

“Amara..”

“ You are fine. What happened? Last thing I remember is bullets flying all around.”

“I am fine. But I didn’t expected you to be so stupid. Taking a bullet.. like really Amara? If you thought it would bring me close to you then you are the most stupid girl in the entire world.”

“ I don’t expect anything from you Ric. I’m engaged to someone else. Don’t worry I don’t love you anymore."

“Then why did you took the bullet?”

“I am not liable to answer any of you questions.”

“You are lying.”

“I don’t understand Ric, first you tell me to not expect anything from you and then again you ask if I love you. Well it doesn’t matter. Call my fiancé. I want to go back to my house.”

“YOU CAN’T.”

“ What do you mean I cant-… AHH.”

“SHIT… Are you hurt? Tell me what’s wrong. I’ll call the doctor.”

“Doctor can’t heal my wounds.

Anyways where’s my parents?”

“They are not here. You will be living in this mansion until you get perfectly fine.”

“No I’m not. Let me go.”

“Amara Your life is in danger. Let me first handle the situation when I think its safe for you I’ll myself leave you alone.”

“Okay.”

“Wow ..no resistance. I thought I’ll have to hypnotize you for making you agreeable to stay here. But no complaints. I’ll send the doctor for the checkup.”

Amara smiled at him as he left. His love, feelings and all his emotions were clearly visible in his eyes. He may act like a dracula but deep down he was still a soft toy. She had already placed herself in his house its just a matter of time before she place herself in his heart. She knew he still loved her possibly more than ever. But she also knew he was bound by some reasons. She has so much work to do. But first she needed some pep talk. She looked at the ceiling and prayed for her plans success.

“Amara, This is not going to be easy. But if you want your Ric to be the fun loving person he was four years ago you have to do it.”
