Third Person P.O.V.
I saw Anya hurriedly snatching the food packet inside. I really have my all sympathy with this girl. She is an ideal daughter any father can think of. She is the best. But, her bastard father, he has no value for her. He treats her like trash. I really wish that I will have a daughter like her. I will cherish her, nourish her with my all love.
I pulled my phone from my pocket leaving my hiding and walking away from that house.
"Sir, the work is done. Yes, she ate and now sleeping peacefully", I told my boss.
He asked me something......
"Ummm..... you are right Sir. He beat her even in the office. She has some serious bruises on her face.", I informed him.
He instructed me on our next move.
"Ok Sir, I will arrange everything", I said and cut the phone.
I want to jump on my bed now. It was really an exhausting day. I almost broke down in a house like a robber. Soon, I reached to my car parked almost a kilometer away from the house. I started the ignition and headed towards my home. Home..... my sweet home.... I am coming.... I chirp in my mind.....
Sylvester's P.O.V.
I tossed my phone towards my table and laid down on my bed. I closed my eyes to get some sleep, but Anya's sad and broken face was circling in my mind. I don't know but I was feeling bad for her. She is different from all those girls who were with me in the past. They all were gold - diggers, manipulative, high class sl*ts... But she is ..... she is really some thing else.... despite of her worse condition... she is strong enough to defend her self respect.... how politely but sternly she rejected that bastard.... it's really impressed me....
Soon we will meet officially Ms. Roberts and I promise you and you won't regret meeting me, I talked to her in my mind and drifted in sleep.
Next morning, I was working in my office when I got a call from my friend Neil Jackson, CEO of Jacksons & Jacksons. He was shocked after getting my mail. He was like my childhood buddy and I trust him so I also told him about encounter of Hold and Anya. He was really furious to know that Holt tried to take advantage of his position. He assured me that he will make sure that Holt will not get out easily.
Holt is in police custody now. The news of his arrest spread like a forest fire and it's all in Breaking news. He is finished. Evidences are too solid to deny.
I was curious to know about the reaction of Anya. I assumed that she would be relaxed now. I small smile appeared on my lips. I shook my head. I was smiling for nothing. Whoah.... Whoah..... I need to keep my head straight.
I called Ryan in my office. He knocked the door before opening up.
"Sir, I have made all the arrangements for Mayor's party. Please just give a look before leaving the office today", he requested me and also told me about the gifts he purchased on behalf of me. Though I am not interested in all these, but, as I am going personally there, I must know what I am gifting.
I was really impressed by his choice of gift. It was really a beautiful necklace with sea green emerald fixing with almost matching studs. It was according to my status. Unconsciously, I lifted the necklace and imagined it around Anya's slender neck. She has beautiful sea green color eyes which match with this necklace perfectly. This will really look great on her.
"Sir???," Ryan snapped his fingers in front of my eyes which dragged me out of my trance. What the hell.... I was thinking... Why did I imagine this.... I shook my head ..... seriously I need to get that girl out of my system.
"What???," I asked him absent mindly.
"Sir, I asked you to give them for packing", I asked me again.
"Do what you want to do with them", I waved my hand and headed towards my seat.
Suddenly, I stopped in my way and moved back.
"Uhhh.... Ryan..... buy any other gift for Mrs. Mayor. I think that color will not suit her. She has amber like eyes. Buy something matching those eyes for her", I suggested him taking back the necklace from him.
"Ok Sir, I will return back this necklace then and will look for another options", he agreed and move his hands towards me for taking back the necklace.
I hesitated and place the necklace on my table near my system.
"No need to return this. I will keep it with me." I tried to be firm with my voice but It sounded like the voice of a teenager boy who has caught stalking his crush.
Ryan looked at me confused. He was little bit shock too. Of Course He was. I never gifted anything to any girl in my life. heck..... I don't like to give gifts to those gold diggers.
He nodded his head slightly took back the studs from the table and left my office.
I released my breath which I was holding don't know why. I once again looked at the necklace and thought about her.
Anya's P.O.V.
As I came out from the elevator at my office floor, I heard people talking about some kind of breaking news about a business man running at every news station. I have heard this in the bus also. As this news is now all over the people's mouth, it must be a big scam then.
I open my cabin door, put my bag on the table behind my seat and started the computer. Suddenly, Rita barged in my cabin like a ghost is chasing her.
"Have you seen the news Anya?", She asked me excitedly.
"No, not yet. What's the matter", I asked her anxiously. I don't have a smart phone, so I cannot have news update before reaching the office. I can see only headlines or business news on my computer.
"Holt has taken in the custody late in the night for the forgery and some scams he has done in Jackson's taking advantage of his position." she briefly summarized the whole news in one go.
"What?", my eyes widened after listening her. She was there when my father slapped me in front of them last evening because of Holt.
I quickly opened the chrome and run today's news.
The news of Holt's arrest is all over there. According to the reporters, evidences found by the authorities are too solid that he can't be out before 10 years. A tear slipped from the corner of my eye. I was happy to hear all these accusations against him.
"Hey Honey, what happened? why are you crying? That bastard deserved what he is getting now", Rita immediately approached me seeing my teary eyes and hugged me from my shoulders. Her words are soothing my shattered heart.
"Actually Rita, first time in my life, I am happy to see some one suffering", I told her giving a smile.
"You deserve to be happy sweetheart. I don't know what has happened in your meeting with him yesterday, but I am damm assured that he misbehaved with you", she told me giving me a shock. How can be she so right?
"What??? I am also a woman, girl. When your father said about the cooperation, I instantly understood what kind of cooperation he was seeking from you. That bastard is now at his right place", she slammed my table with her fist making me jump.
"Thanks Rita for understanding me", I hugged her back. She kissed my forehead like a true friend then left the office.
I once again looked on the computer screen watching the news about Holt. It's some how relieving for me that I don't need to face that bastard in the near future again.
