Anna's POV:

Mona: Don't worry, Anna, we will sort it out soon...

Anna: I am scared for the future consequences, Mona...

Why they are after you?

Maybe it's just because I am close to all of you and I know John wants to take away my happiness that's the reason he is targeting everyone who is close to me and appointed a professional killer to kill you.

Mona: Anna, it's not because of you, and maybe the attack is not planned by John and there always be a chance that the attack is from Tom's side too...

Anna: Tom?

Mona: Yes, I already told you that these kinds of incidents happened in my past life and Tom's criminals always threaten me to take revenge on Tom but every time Tom saved me no matter what

Anna: How mean they are?

If they want to take revenge on Tom, they have to fight face to face with Tom but not by attacking you indirectly...

Mona: They are criminals Anna, they don't follow ethics...

Anna: hmmmmm...

Mona: But you should be more careful, Anna. We don't know how the situations are going to change from day to day and we don't know how close we are to the danger zone and the person we trust most, maybe the person who is betraying us...

So you should be careful and alert all the time and should not trust anyone in the house.

(Mona said by caressing my hair and I agree with her. Tom already warned me to believe no one in the house that's the reason I am suspecting Nanny too, but I wish she should be proved to be as a loyal worker. I looked at Mona in between my thoughts.)

Mona: What happened?

Anna: Mona, there might be a chance that the one who tried to attack Rubeus uncle is also trying to attack you.

Mona: Of course, there is a chance, but I didn't get any link. Why the person behind all these tries to kill Rubeus uncle and me?

Anna: You both are linked to Mark. Maybe, like Mark said, they want to kill everyone who is close to Mark. You are the best friend to him, and Rubeus uncle is the only guardian left to Mark.

Mona: Yeah, but what will they gain if they make Mark alone?

Anna: As of now, no idea, but you should be more careful because I guess it's not from Tom's enemies and the attacks are from John or Mark's enemies too

Mona: Yes, Anna, even Tom said the same thing...

Anna: What?

(I immediately get up from her lap and looked at her in shock because without a proper clue Tom doesn't judge and I am sure he enquired and got a proper clue.)

Mona: Yes, Anna, even Tom said the attack is not from his criminals and he is suspecting...

Anna: Suspecting?

Tell me clearly Mona, on whom he is suspecting?

Mona: Okay listen, did you remember I told you once that I am digging everything once again regarding Ria's case?

Anna: Yes, once you said about the nail scratches on her body and you said that you want to know about the intentions of the 5th person, whether he tried to attack Ria or he tried to save her.

Mona: Exactly...

And the attack on me takes place after I started the investigation from my doctor friends about Ria's case and yet I didn't get any clue about Ria's case but Tom is suspected that the attack takes place just because of Ria's case...

Anna: OMG, So the person behind all these may definitely link up to Ria's suicide...

Mona: Maybe Yes, Anna, as of now that's what Tom and I are suspected about it, and we feel like something mystery is hidden in Ria's case...

Anna: Mystery?

Mona: Yes, Anna, we should find what it is, that's what Tom said to me and he requested me to warn you to be safe and let him know if you find any clue.

Anna: Sure Mona, but tell me did Tom find any clue about it?

Because Tom doesn't suspect until he finds any proof.

Mona: Yes, he doesn't judge if he doesn't find any proof that's the reason he is warning you, because he is suspecting someone but didn't yet get any clue, so he doesn't tell me who is that until he finds the proof.

Anna: Okk, I try to find the clue from my end too...

Mona: Yeah, that's great, but don't risk your life, Ok?

(I nodded my head as Ok and again lay my head on Mona's lap.)

Mona: And one more thing Anna, don't discuss about any of these things to Mark...

(I looked at Mona with my confused face because I didn't understand why she wants to hide it from Mark.)

Mona: Without any clue, we should not say anything to Mark and when it comes to Ria's case, he will be mentally unstable and he may kill anyone he suspects out of rage and most importantly he may go to depression again. So it's better if we maintain secrecy from Mark until we find proper details with proofs...

Anna: Okay, Mona, I won't tell anything to him until we find any clue...

Mona: That's better...

Anna: How is Rubeus uncle's condition?

Mona: I am not sure, Anna. His health condition is deteriorating, and he wants to speak to you and Mark...

Anna: Yeah, shall we go now?

Mona: Not now, Tom's police proceedings are still taking place in my hospital, so it will be free if you and Mark visit Rubeus uncle by tomorrow morning...

Anna: Sure, Mona, and can we confirm Rubeus uncle about the details regarding Daniel?

Mona: Yeah, even Tom asked me the same, even he wants to confirm few things with Rubeus uncle, but we should not let him know about the attack in the food carnival ground and the murder in my hospital. So his health condition may stable...

Anna: Sure, we can just ask about Daniel by telling him like a small story that we find Daniel when he is spying on us and when we caught him he said he is appointed by Rubeus uncle, so we are confirming Rubeus uncle to get the clarity that we can trust Daniel or not...

Mona: Yes Anna, your story is better and by looking at these incidents, I think it is better to confirm about Daniel even though we trust he is appointed by Rubeus uncle, and we no need to worry because Tom locked him in the prison...

Anna: Prison?

Mona: Yes, for his safety Tom locked him in the prison and Tom is more cautious after the murder happened in the morning...

Soo...

"What are you doing to my Anna?"

(Mona and I turned around to check, and it's Mark, I immediately get up from Mona's lap. Both Mark and Tom are looking at us with their smiling face.)

Mona: What I will do?

I am caressing my love...

Mark: Your love?

Mona: Yes, Anna is my love and don't dare to threaten or harm her and Don't dare to behave rudely with her...

(Mark immediately jump on the bed in one shot and pulled me close to him and make me sit on his lap and wrapped his hands around my waist and lean his chin on my neck and looking at Mona with his narrowed succeed eyes. I am shocked for his sudden actions and feel shy before Tom and Mona.

Mark: Anna is mine, and she is my love, not yours...

(Mona immediately threw the pillow on Mark in a teasing way.)

Mona: How dare you take my Anna away from me?

(Mona immediately get up from the bed and turned towards us to beat Mark but suddenly Tom hold her waist and lifted her and speak something into her ear, immediately Mona's face turned to blush and forgot that she is fighting with Mark, Tom looked at us and smiled. I didn't understand anything and I don't know what Tom said.

Tom: Okay, Mark, time to leave...

Anna: leave?

Why don't you stay here for some more time?

Or you can stay here for this night, so Mona and I will chitchat some more time, please...

(Mark tightened his grip on my waist as a hint to stop talking and by looking at Mona's blushed face I understand Tom planned something for her. So I stay quiet.)

Mona: Okay, Anna, we will leave now and later we can spend some time privately when both Tom and Mark are busy in their work.

(I nodded my head as okay and Mark loosens his grip and I get up from the bed and hugged Mona once again and didn't again try to convince her to stay with me. After they left, Mark suddenly lifted me in a bridal style, I smiled and hugged him in return. He makes me lay on the bed and went to the wardrobe and bought the handcuffs.

Anna: Mark, wait, 2 minutes, you can handcuff me after 2 minutes.

Mark: Why?

(I didn't respond to him and quickly lead to the other wardrobe where few of my clothes were there. He immediately followed me and stand close to me. I turned and looked at him with my pleading eyes.

Anna: I need to change my clothes.

(I said and lead to the washroom but Mark holds my wrist and pulled me close to him, I looked at him and his face turned to smirk.)

Mark: Let me help you, Anna...
