———————————————————————————-
Tim had no idea that his Master had abandoned him completely now. The man had even ordered for him to be killed and it was just short of time that his men would come looking for him. He was still hoping that Jared would save him. He wanted to go to him for protection, but later decided against it when he realized that the man might be angry right now due to his foolishness. He would need some time to cool off the fury in him. But he could not wait until then. So, he decided to go underground till this news faded.
Tim was still oblivious to the fact that his photo was being circulated in all news channels and everybody, by now, had got to know who the armed man was. While he was pacing back and forth in his overstuffed one-bedroom house, Tim received a call from Jared's assistant. His call came at the correct time. He needed his Master's help right now and he couldn't be any more grateful. He answered the call immediately.
"Tim, what the hell have you done?" Jared's assistant asked in disbelief. He was whispering in the corridor away from Jared's cabin while keeping an eye around him to see if anybody was eavesdropping on him.
"I know I fucked up big time. I need help."
"Tim, you are now a wanted man. Everybody is speaking about you and Master is furious right now."
"I know. I know." Tim said in worry. He knew Jared would be raging by now. But he had only followed his orders, only that he had not been careful. He had made a huge mess that would take a lot of time to clean. "But we can still salvage the situation. The police do not know it is me. So, it's that big a problem."
"What do you mean? Not only the police, the entire nation know that it was you who harmed the little girl." The assistant said in one breath and looked back to check on his surroundings again. He was on pins and needles since the time he had made the phone call. He had heard Jared's order to kill the man and had immediately decided to alert him about it. Though Tim was just a gang member like him, they were sworn brothers and he treated Tim just like family. So, he did not want anything to happen to him. Also, this was the first time he had messed things up. He felt that Jared's punishment was too severe towards the man who had been loyal to him since the time he had started working for him.
"How?" Tim was flabbergasted. 'How did they find out it was I who had created the mess?' He had only shown his face to three people. None of the cameras had captured him, he was sure of it. Maggie's skills were not to be doubted ever. He trusted her to have done the work well. Also, it was impossible for anybody else to have seen him as he had put on a mask once he had jumped off the building. So, nobody knew how he looked.
"The watchman showed your photo to the media and now you have become a hot topic. Even Master cannot help."
"What do you mean by Master cannot help me? No. No. He cannot abandon me like this. I have worked for him all these years and never had I failed a mission. This is the first time. He cannot do this." Tim shouted, not in anger but in panic. He was trembling now thinking about what the future held for him and all he could see was his death.
"Tim, Master is not abandoning you."
Tim sighed in relief hearing the man's words but the moment he heard the next words, his world collapsed. His knees gave away and he fell to the floor heavily.
"Master has given orders to kill you. Tim, your life is in danger now."
"No. No. No. That cannot happen. No way."
"Yes, Master has done it already. His men must be coming for you any minute. Leave your house right away. Escape from this mess Tim, save yourself."
"But.." Tim tried to speak but nothing came out of his mouth. His lips quivered and his body was shaking tremendously. He was having a mental breakdown. Everything felt hopeless now. If he stayed at home, Jared would come for him. Outside his house, the police were searching for him. He could not go to his secret hideout too as Jared would track him down within seconds. He did not want to die this early. No. He still had a lot of things to do and one of them was to find his daughter.
Before he could speak anything, Jared's assistant interrupted him. "Tim, I have to go. Please leave before it becomes too late. Please." The call ended and just like that, Tim's last ray of hope too ended. He was devastated. All the hard work and the trouble he had taken till now was a waste. He wanted to question the man who did not even hesitate to kill once he was done using him. But that was something beyond his power. He did not even have the courage to face Jared, let alone question him in this matter.
His mind drifted towards the woman due to whom he had joined the Vipers gang. He thought about the woman with whom he had had a one night stand four years ago. She was beautiful and had an air of innocence around her, just like a rose. He did not know who she was or anything about her. He had met her at a party. All he remembered was that one time they were flirting and the next moment they were undressing each other in a hurry. It did not take long for them to get entangled with each other and that night had been the best night of his life. Though it was just a drunken sex, it had been consensual. The woman too had responded to his touch and the most important fact here was, she was not drunk.
Tim had fucked her in his intoxicated state, but his mind remembered her face clearly. He decided then and there to get to know her and if possible even marry her. He had never been this attracted to any woman until then. But when the morning arrived, the mysterious woman had disappeared into thin air.
He searched everywhere to find her and even went asking in the hotel where they had spent the night. But nobody knew who she was and where she went. It was then he had joined the Vipers gang, not because he liked to kill, but to find the woman who had taken his heart with her.
Years had passed since then and on one night, he finally found the woman who had been looking for. He saw her on the television when the reporter was reporting live from a celebration party. He saw the woman enter the hall with a man and a small kid and had been shocked beyond words. Tim had never expected to see her this way and especially with a man. Moreover, she also had a kid with him. This news had broken Tim and he wanted to throw the television away in anger. But he didn't. He wanted to see more of her. How long had it been since he last saw her?
The woman had changed. She had become more beautiful and the purple dress she was wearing made her look like a dazzling star at night. Tim could not take his eyes away from her. He had then found out that the woman's name was Emma and the man beside her was Adrian King, her brother. She had thrown a congratulatory party to her brother when he had successfully closed a huge deal.
Tim then wondered who the little girl belonged to. Was she not Emma's daughter? He pondered on this for a long time, yet could not come to any conclusion. He wanted to take a clearer look at the little girl, but Emma and Adrian had made sure to keep her away from the reporters. So, he did not get an opportunity to see her face.
Tim was not the one to give up until he got his answers. So, he started digging Emma's past and went around asking about her to all possible people who he felt would know about her. Tim had been surprised by what he had found out. Emma was not married but the little girl, Ahana was her daughter. He had found out the girl to be around three or four years of age and his mind was blown away by the realization. He was the little girl's father. She was his child, his princess. This realization was like a thunderbolt to him.
"Ahana is my daughter. My daughter." He had cried in happiness. The entire day he had rejoiced thinking Emma and Ahana and he had decided to go meet the next day. He was not willing to stay away from them even a minute. He had found Emma after a long time and he was not ready to lose her, not when he had a daughter with her.
But what waited that day was nothing but grief. He had gone to meet Emma to her house only to see Adrian holding his dead sister in his arms as he cried hysterically. He had seen them from far, yet he could see how brutally Emma had been murdered. She was lying in a pool of blood and though a lot of time had passed, Tim could still not remove the image from his mind. It still haunted him time and again.
It had been even more shocking when he learnt that his daughter had gone missing that day and nobody, not even Adrian knew who was behind all this mess. Tim had made up his mind to find his daughter at all costs and only then would he come in front of Adrian. Since then, he had been searching for Ahana, but with no result.
He could not die without meeting his daughter, without avenging Emma. He could not leave this world without killing the man who killed his woman and kidnapped his daughter. No. So, he made a decision, a decision that would help him and keep him alive. A decision that he should have taken long ago.
Without further delay, Tim made a call. "Ivy, this is Tim. I want to meet Noah."
