My Ruthless Innocent Billionaire

Third Person's P.O.V. A shinning black SUV was running at high speed on that lonely road in the middle of the forest. It was almost half-past midnight. It was raining furiously and nothing was clearly visible due to rain and the darkness of the forest. It was a chilling night in November. The rain had made that night more chilling. Inside the car, the temperature was moderate and both driver and rider were comfortable. Alex Carter was sitting at the back seat resting his head at the back. He had closed his eyes. Though the blower had warmed the atmosphere inside the car, but there was a coldness around him. He was a multi-billionaire, most eligible bachelor of the year at the age of 28, but ruthless and cold-hearted. The car was on little less than full speed. He was not bothered by the speed. They were all alone on the road.  "sh*t", the driver suddenly yelled and hit the break with full strength. Due to the sudden break, the car waved furiously but the driver somehow managed to control the car and the car stopped just a few inches away from a thick and strong tree standing at the side of the road. Due to this sudden jerk, the driver's head hit the wheel and he got injured but conscious. Alex had held the seat and side trail firmly, so he was safe. "Are you alright", Alex asked the driver while looking in the rear mirror. The driver shook his head. Though he was conscious, but he was a little dizzy. Alex nodded and assessed the situation. "What happened", he asked gently to the driver. It was not the time to get angry. "I am sorry Sir.... the road was completely clear. Suddenly a lady came in front of the car. I tried my level best to avoid hitting her", the driver said in a sad tone. He was somehow scared of losing his job. "Did we hit her?" Alex asked again. "I am sure Sir that I didn't hit her, but I saw her falling down in the mid of the road", the Driver informed him with a scared sound. "hmmmm", Alex said and opened the door. The driver immediately opened his side of the door and took the umbrella with him. It was raining heavily. As soon as Alex's face came out of the car, the cold air hit his face. He just closed his eyes for a second and feel the coldness on his face. Till then, the driver had come out and had opened the umbrella above his head. Alex came out of the car completely and looked towards the head of the driver from where blood was still coming out slowly. Alex immediately pulled out his handkerchief and tied it around his wound tightly so that bleeding would stop. The first driver was scared from his action but when he saw Alex concern he was overwhelmed. "Th... thank you, Sir", he stuttered in a choked voice. "Let's have a look who the hell she is who jumped in front of our car", he said in a cold tone. Driver gulped hard and nodded. The driver whose name was Ryan was in his early 40s. He was working for Alex family for the last 15 years. He was a short chubby person. He showed the direction where he last saw that lady. Both marched towards the direction but no one was there in the middle of the road. Ryan shivered due to fear when he saw nobody there. "I swear sir... I saw her falling here in the side mirror", he gulped hard and looked around for any clue. "I know... I also had seen a glimpse of her... no need to panic", Alex said, and it relaxed Ryan a bit. Alex scanned the whole visible area near them and narrowed his eyes in a direction. There were some traces that looked like someone dragged something there into the forest. He marched towards the place he saw that woman going inside the forest. Ryan followed him with an umbrella above his head. "Sir... we should not go into the forest.... it's... it's not safe", Ryan stuttered while looking widely towards the deep dark forest in front of them. It was almost past midnight and due to heavy rain, it was completely dark out there. Alex was looking down at the path temporarily due to dragging something heavy. "If you want to come.. you can... but if not... you can stay here", Alex said in a cold tone and started following the path. Ryan did not want to stay there alone, so he immediately followed Alex. Alex took out his phone and started the torch which made the path clearly visible. They just went less than 50 steps when they heard the low cry of a woman. Alex started searching the area for the source of the voice. It seemed that the lady was in tremendous pain. Anyone could sense the pain in her voice. Due to heavy rain, the voice was too faint to hear properly, but Alex was determined to find out the lady. Though he was merciless and ruthless, but he didn't want to leave that lady injured in the forest alone if she was hit by his car. Suddenly he saw a cloth on a small bush. They marched towards there, and then they saw a lady lying on the ground from the stomach. Her clothes were shattered and her blood was spread around her mixed with rainwater. It looked like she was severely injured. Her almost body was covered in mud and blood. Alex leaned down beside her and called her. "Hey.... can you hear me", he asked in the most gentle voice he could speak. She flinched a little but groaned in pain. "Sir... we should call the police... I am sure that I didn't hit her... She would be injured somewhere else but not here", Ryan tried to stop Alex from grabbing her from her shoulder. Alex gave him a cold look before grabbing her gently. Ryan lowered down his eyes immediately due to fear. Alex gently pulled her up towards him. She screamed a little. She was so exhausted to make any kind of voice. Her face was totally covered from mud and the wet hairs were all over there. Alex placed her upper body gently on his lap and remove her hair from her face and removed some mud with rainwater. As her face was getting clean, Alex's heart started beating rapidly, and he started cleaning her face hurriedly. Ryan was somehow shocked by his behaviour but felt that there was something related to Alex. Alex's heart skipped a beat, and he forgot to breathe for a few seconds. It was her. "Sir... she is alive.... should we take her to hospital", Ryan somehow managed to ask him which pulled him out of his trance. He gently patted the cheek of the lady. "Anaira..... Anaira.... wake up", He pleaded and Ryan was instantly shocked after hearing her name. His eyes widened from the shock. It was Anaira... She was the girl who had changed him from a cheerful guy to a merciless monster. She made a little muffled sound. She was losing her consciousness, but she tried to open her eyes. "Anaira..... please wake up", Alex pleaded again, and then she opened her eyes and tried to look at the person in front of her. She was not able to open her eyes properly. She was scared and tried to pull out herself from his embrace, but he held her firmly yet gently as she was badly injured. "Anaira.... it's me .... it's me... Alex... don't panic", he tried to calm her down as she was weakly trying to free herself. But as soon as she heard the name her facial expressions changed. She immediately held him from his shirt... "Alex.... is that really you???", she asked in a choked voice as she was not able to see him properly. There was weird happiness in her voice. "Yes... it's me... I am taking you to the hospital... just hold on a little bit", he said and held her in his embrace in bridal style. "no... no...", she panicked and resisted. "Don't panic Anaira.... Ryan... run and start the car now", Alex said and commanded Ryan. Ryan nodded and ran immediately towards the car while closing the umbrella. Alex was following him holding Anaira in his embrace firmly... "Alex... please... please listen to me...save her", Anaira pleaded in an almost faded voice as she was losing her consciousness. Alex stopped in his path for a second but again started running towards the car. "I will...just hang on please", He didn't know to whom she was referring to but trying to assure her to stop worrying about who so ever she was talking. "Please save our daughter Alex... please save our daugh.....t...e...r", she fainted while signalling somewhere on the other side of the road. The lightning struck the forest hard and the whole area beamed for a few seconds just like Anaira's word struck Alex at the instant. He just glued on his spot while holding her looking towards the area where she raised her hand before losing her consciousness.... There were only two words ringing in his ear.... in his mind..... OUR DAUGHTER.....
