43. Jealousy Will Kill You

Jealousy smells so luxurious and refreshing but reacts like gasoline on a fire.

Imdad could smell it when Delisha was near him. The scent of another male perfume on the female body. It was the same scent when he picked up Delisha from the Golden Star Hotel and this time when she had just met the star man at his hotel. He was jealous, but trying to control the burning fire did not blind him. The investigation of the conspiracy that attacked Delisha is more crucial than questioning what she had done with Devdas.

The two men who were arrested from the incident chose to remain silent and died from the excruciating pain. The communication information in the cell phone that Delisha found, did not contain any data that could be used to track the person who ordered them. Even so, he believes his team will find the mastermind behind the attack.

Imdad led Delisha back to his residence. The woman was mostly silent and lost in thoughts of her own during the trip. Her eyes stared blankly at the street. The traffic jam in the city and the bustle of the sound of vehicles could not distract her. When the car stopped at the garage, without saying a word, the woman immediately got up from the car. Imdad holds Delisha by her hand.

"Hm? What's wrong?" Delisha asked in surprise. Imdad didn't answer right away, only staring closely with his warm brown eyes for a few moments. He adored her very much, but like the moon in the night sky, he realized that he was not the only one who admired her.

"Nothing," said Imdad then. "I just wanted to say goodnight and kiss you before you went inside."

"Oh? You're not coming in? It's already late."

"I still have work to do," Imdad replied and then pulled Delisha's arm to his chest for her to come closer and kiss her softly on the lips. He cupped the back of Delisha's head to deepen the kiss. The kiss was released after the two of them breathed heavily and their eyes stared longingly.

"You should just say, don't bother driving me, I can go home alone," Delisha said, her cheeks flushed red.

"I want to do it. At least this is what I can do to my lover who hardly needs help and protection from me," said Imdad in praise.

"Ah, no, I ... in my day my abilities was nothing, very ordinary in fact," Delisha said modestly. In 2034, agents are required to work more effectively and efficiently, they will receive supplements to make them stronger and unconquerable. Called a supplement so as not to appear as illegal drug use. The supplement is a substance developed by Professor Sisilia. That woman is crazy, before being used on other people, she tested it on her husband and herself. Humans are only objects of the experiment for her. Although the test results are safe in humans, the usage is under the strict supervision of experts, not just anyone can get these supplements.

"OK!" Delisha continued. "You said you had something to do, I didn't want to hold you back any longer."

"Oh, yes, that's right!"

"Good evening, Imdad!" exclaimed Delisha as she got out of the car and the man replied. Imdad drove the car out of the garage after she got into the house.

Delisha arrived in her room, threw her bag and scarf onto the dresser, threw herself down in front of the mirror, and stared at her own reflection. Her face scowled and grunted tiredly. The thing she faced now was like a scattered puzzle, not knowing where to start and how to end it.

The cold war between the two giant networks of the world is now a problem between two hearts. Together with Imdad, it is safer because in the same team, but not an effective way to solve problems. Meanwhile, with Devdas, it will be a very dangerous game.

"Aaahhh!!" Delisha grumbled irritably. She ruffled her hair in hopes that it would disclose the complexity of her thoughts. The sound of the phone vibrating from inside the bag distracted her. She took her cell phone and saw an incoming message from a contact named Mr. Star, Delisha's eyes widened, especially after reading the message.

["Good Night, My Moon, Sweet Dreams, with me starred in it."]

Delisha immediately tapped her forehead. Since when was the man's number on her cell phone? She didn't expect cold and cruel Devdas to be that cheerful.

"What??" Maya, who suddenly appeared at Delisha's side, was stunned to read the message on the cellphone. "Is it true that Devdas sent the message? I don't believe it!"

Delisha hurriedly turned off the screen and put away her cellphone. He glared at Maya. The ghost immediately stood up and strolled back and forth in the middle of the room. "I'm not surprised if he can have such deep feelings for you because you have been his obsession for hundreds of years. This is amazing! Devdas Star Tailes and Imdad Hussain! Both of them are obsessed with you. One woman with two owners. Oh, amazing! Isn't this a woman's wildest dream? " she said vehemently. "I wouldn't mind playing with both of them ...."

"Oh, please, Maya! Do you still want to be with Devdas? You're not afraid of him?"

Maya looked at her enthusiastically. "Why should I be afraid of him? I'm dead, I can't die twice. I'm going to use your body, the woman Devdas Star Tailes loves."

The obsessed ghost Maya who does not hesitate to show the intention to dominate her body. For now, she didn't mind because Maya was her follower. "Maya, I have an important task for you," she said.

"Oh, what is it?"

"Watch Anjali Mukherjee!"

"Oh, Imdad Hussain's ex-girlfriend? Why? That woman is not worthy of attention," Maya explained.

"I'm worried about her, so just do as I say, okay? But don't do anything, just watch over the woman."

"Look and don't do anything. Sounds easy. All right!" replied Maya. In an instant, she disappeared from Delisha's sight.

"Ah, what a day!" Delisha let out a languid sigh. She hopes to sleep well and have sweet dreams.

Behind the darkness of the night, a figure covered in black appeared in the courtyard of the Mukherjee Family, a large two-story house. The figure nimbly climbed the wall to climb onto the balcony on the second floor. With ease, he unlocked the door on the balcony and without making a sound, the glass door opened just enough for a tall body to enter into the room which is Anjali Mukherjee's bedroom. The figure hid behind the curtain.

Not long after that Anjali came into her room following telling her servant to go to rest because it was late. One eye was covered with an eye seal made of black leather. She locked her bedroom door and got ready to sleep. She has separated her room from her husband since the eye was damaged. She grunts irritably at her cellphone for not being able to reach someone and throws the object on the bed.

Anjali opens the sari wrapped around her body to change into a nightgown. Her smooth thighs were foreseen. She was about to remove the brassier when a sharp, cold object perched on her neck. Anjali's body was shaking and didn't dare to move. Only her eyes were trying to glance at the person behind her.

"Don't make a sound if you still want your neck intact, Anjali!" A soft voice growled near her ear. Anjali is getting scared even more after recognizing the owner of the voice. The man who used to make love with her, Imdad Hussain.

Imdad, behind his mask, smirks knowing Anjali is helpless under his threat. Even though the data on the cellphone had been deleted, his team was still able to trace who the assassin's client was through their informants. He pressed the tip of the dagger against the skin of Anjali's neck until a thin cut spat out a reddish liquid. One of Imdad's hand pulls Anjali's hair so that the woman looked up. "It seems you still can't get me out of your mind, Anjali!"

Only the sound of short trembling breaths came from Anjali.

"Didn't I warn you not to get into trouble with my woman? I think so, but you still have the courage to do it," said Imdad angrily. The sound of grinding his teeth was clearly heard in Anjali's ears.

Anjali doesn't think that Imdad can track her down as the one who hired hitmen to kill his lover. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" whispered Anjali, whining to Imdad. The knife around her neck slid deeper into the skin. The wound felt sore from mixed with cold sweat.

"You still dare to speak!" snapped Imdad.

Anjali is full of regrets but she doesn't want to die. "A-Aftab!" She exclaimed quickly.

"What??" Imdad is flabbergasted. Aftab, Anjali, and he know each other because of one campus and one generation.

"A-Aftab came to me and gave the people's numbers," Anjali said. "I was just telling a story and suddenly he gave me the idea of using an assassin ...." Anjali couldn't continue as her throat was choked. Imdad chuckled and the man's breath frightened her as if death was at her side.

"Thank you for telling me, Anjali. You don't need to worry, I'm not going to kill you," said Imdad. He pushed Anjali's body until she fell on her back on the bed. The woman gasped. Imdad crawled up the bed with his sharp gaze tracing Anjali's curves.

Surprisingly, Anjali reacted with a sigh full of anticipation. The man with the face covering and all-black clothes on top of his body then growled in his ear. "... or even to have s*x with you," continued Imdad. The man sat on top of Anjali's body so he could look at the woman's face freely. He took a pillow and took off the cover. In an instant, Anjali's face tightened, and was scared to death. Imdad stuffed a pillowcase in her mouth.

Anjali struggles but Imdad is very strong holding her body and hands. Her scream was muffled. Tears poured down from her one eye. "If you dare to complain about this to anyone, believe me, my next arrival to make sure you die," threatened Imdad.

"I forgive your mistakes, Anjali, really, I forgive you," continued Imdad with a tone of concern.

Anjali's gray bead sparkled in relief hearing that. Imdad smiles. "But I want you to know, I never mess with what I say," sighed Imdad excitedly. When the man rolled the knife in front of her face, Anjali fell silent with her eyes wide open, as if the ball was about to jump out of its socket.

"I came this time for the sake of your other eye," said Imdad, stabbing Anjali's eye with his dagger. The woman's muffled shout was heard by no one but herself. Anjali's curved body jumps and stomps repeatedly only adds to the excitement for Imdad. He rolled the blade in Anjali's eyeball.

When Anjali's body limp, Imdad pulls out the dagger and leaves the woman's body. He pulls Anjali's mouth plug and uses it to clean the dagger from the eye fluid mixed with Anjali's blood. He then threw the cloth on Anjali's body who couldn't even make a sound.

Only a snort came from Imdad. The man slipped out of his way in and disappeared into the darkness where he had appeared.

In the morning, breakfast time at Imdad's residence. Rani sits and enjoys a dish and a glass of milk. The girl was chattering about the many things she had experienced at school. Delisha who sat across from her tore the bread and occasionally chewed the torn into her mouth without realizing it. Her eyes stare blankly and she doesn't hear what Rani is talking about.

The report that Maya delivered when she opened her eyes from her sleep surprised Delisha.

There are two men who attack Anjali.

First, is Imdad Hussain, who is currently greeting everyone with a beaming face. "Good morning!"

Delisha smiled and returned the greeting, "Good morning!"

Imdad then greets Rani and ruffles the girl's hair and chats with her. Imdad comes to Anjali to crush her eyes.

Second, is Aftab Shivdasani.

"Good morning Boss!" cried Aftab to his boss, Devdas Star Tailes. He met Devdas in the office to report his duties. His boss sits with his fingers crossed over his face and glares at him.

"The person who ordered the attack on Miss Marianne Webster I have dealt with, boss. Anjali Mukherjee has got the return well."

Devdas nodded at this. "Good, good, good ...!"

Aftab comes to Anjali who is helpless and throws the woman's body through the balcony of her room. Anjali died because of the fall. Aftab comes to kill her.

Delisha can only keep smiling and excited about her day. It is unfortunate that Anjali finally died miserably because of her jealousy, even though she had already removed the traces that had led to suspicion in that woman.
