52 The Phone Call

Arnav could feel the hairs on his body stand up. It was as if the memories from two years ago had come back to haunt him. He would never forget that night, nor this voice. Because of this man, he had lost his many comrades.

One wrong decision, and so many had been dead.

" Why have you called? " Arnav couldn't help feeling reluctant.

" To warn you. If you don't tell your brother to back down, there will be consequences as you are very well aware. I am sure you don't want to see him dead as your comrades. " the voice sneered.

Arnav spoke nothing. But his anger did increase towards Advay. Did he really not value his life? Or was he just this careless?

The man continued, as if enjoying himself, " For backing him out, I will give you the information that he did manage to gain by paying my brothers the five lakh dollars. The attack on your sis-in-law that night, was a paid contract by one of our clients. The other end of the deal guaranteed by the client was that I would get Sofya Khemka. "

Arnav's heart thumped loudly when he heard Sofya's name. He hadn't known about this. Why wouldn't Advay tell him if Sofya was in danger? Just the thought of Sofya with another man, especially this man made his blood boil with anger.

" Who's the client? " he asked, clenching his fist.

" You know it's classified. "

" Then stay away from Sofya. "

" Tch tch.. Has the arrogant Wolf fallen in love? " Even though Arnav couldn't see his face, he was sure he was smirking now. " You have piqued my interest now. However, It's not up to me. The client has to deliver the other end of the deal. But I must say, I have taken a liking to her. "

" You.. " The line went dead.

Arnav was fully awakened now. He had many enemies in the business. Maybe one of them had paid for the contract. But why would they give up Sofya as the other end of the deal? Or maybe it were Sofya's rivals?

All he could think about now was Sofya's safety. How he wished she were here now! Her own home was not safe for her anymore. He wanted her safe and sound in front of his eyes. That man was not to be taken lightly. Even if the mysterious client failed to deliver his end of the deal, he would leave no efforts to get Sofya.

Finally after thinking hard, the only solution that he could come up with was to get married. True, they were getting married in two weeks, but now he couldn't wait. Every second mattered. That way, she would be in front of his eyes every now and then. Even if he were to leave for some urgent work, he would increase the security of the house ten folds.

The next day he had spent almost the entire day in selecting the perfect ring for her, with the help of his assistant. Now, only a proposal and marriage was left.
