Arresting the Don

PROLOGUE

GRACE

The earth seemed to be consuming me and I miss steps while running down the stairs. My heart was beating loudly and the shadows lurking in the dark can sense them.

I knew that something was wrong since Roy was acting weird but I never knew it could be threatening to his life. Even though the only thing I wanted was to arrest him, and get him punished, but my heart was throbbing at the thought of something happening to him. My mind knew that I was acting all the way to be in love with him, but now I feel that I am really in love with him, as the fear of losing him was quite intense.

The phone call from Vinod scared me to the core. I ran and asked one of Roy's drivers to help me reach the spot Vinod told me about. I may sound crazy but if something happens to him, I think that I might not survive afterward. My heart is not ready to lose this man. Not at all!

Soon, I reached the place and I rushed into the small building which appeared to be like a hotel. Maybe I was wrong but I was expecting a hospital or a clinic. Vinod told me that Roy got into an accident and was wounded. But this place was dark and gloomy. I gasped when I opened the door ajar and its dead silence all over the place.

"Hello? Vinod?" I called. I tried to say it aloud, but it only came out as a whimper.

"Vinod? Are you here?" I called again, this time, louder than before, but not much. But I received no response.

When I got inside, the door got locked by itself and I screamed. What if Roy got to know about my reality and he planned this to kill me?

Suddenly the lights were switched on by someone and then the noises of exploding balloons cans filled the place. My hands ultimately went to my mouth as I saw the scenario in front of my eyes. The balloons were scattered all over the floor and the lights were decorated in the hall with big gold banners, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CRYSTAL!

"Happy birthday, Crystal!" The crowd went loud and I covered my ears. Tears brimmed in my eyes. Roy approached me with a smirk on his handsome face. He was perfectly fine and now I realized that they all lied to me about the accident.

"I got scared."

"You don't have to. When I am with you." Roy stated.

"How did you find out that today was my birthday," I asked in surprise. Even I had forgotten that this date was my birthday because I never got the luxury to celebrate my birthday with my friends or family.

"I know everything about you." For a second I thought that he really knows every single thing about me, including my real identity and the reason for me being here. But then, I shoved this thought off my mind because I knew that it was almost impossible for anyone to find out about my real identity.

I chuckled and hugged him tightly. I didn't realize how much time I spend in his warm embrace, but I pulled myself back from him when I heard someone saying, "Hey! Don't make us watch your private moments here! The cake is ready, come on!"

A big red velvet cake was placed on the center table. I laughed at the statement and went there to cut the cake. I shared the piece with Roy and then with Vinod and the other staff present there. This was definitely the best birthday I had ever had!

"Present time!" Marie shouted loudly and brought a present to me.

"What is this?"

"A book. I hope you will like it." She winked at me and I accepted the gift with a wide grin.

Vinod brought me a bag and other girly stuff. I don't remember the last time I had a gift, or I ever had a gift at all! All these moments brought tears to my eyes and Roy wiped them away.

"Won't you ask for my gift?"

"I don't need a gift when I have you...You are the biggest blessing I could ever have!"

And he engulfed me in a warm, comforting kiss.
