Novel Full Chapter 322 - Don't Kill My Time...
Mark's POV:
Finally, we concluded that the attacker is following us. He tried to kill Anna because out of the four of us, the one who got injured to his first bullet is Anna. He used a soundproof pistol, and this is more dangerous than the regular gun because we can't predict from which side he is attacking us. I am sure he is a professional killer. Still, the professional killer never misses their target, if he really wants to kill Anna, he can directly trigger the bullet on Anna's head, but he didn't.
No...
No...
The thought that he may fire on Anna's point blank is scary. Maybe he didn't get instructions to kill Anna, so he was appointed to attack her, but not to kill her. But what did they will gain if they attacked Anna?
As Anna said I take a life risk to catch the attacker because if I missed him, he might attack us next time unexpectedly and it is more dangerous to Anna, so I risk my life to catch him, not only me, even Tom risks his own life, if he didn't escape from the bullets, Tom is in the place of that innocent men position in the intensive care unit. Luckily, we all are safe and caught the attacker.
By looking at Anna's tears, I understand how Anna takes the pain when I stand before the attack, and she again outburst when she got the flashes of the attack. I made her calm down and diverted the topic to gifts and tease her in the name of Radium colour condom, and finally, I tickled her and heard her smile.
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. When I heard Annas chuckle or When I looked at Anna's smile, my face lightens up with joy and happiness. By listening to her smile, I cuddle her very close and tight and sleep happily by giving good night kisses to each other.
I waked up at 5 a.m. and went to my gym to do the workout. In between, I called to Tom to know about the progress pf the case.
Tom: Good morning, Mark.
Mark: Sorry if I disturbed you at this early hour, Tom.
Tom: No, Mark, I am looking into the CCTV footage.
Mark: Did you find anything weird?
Tom: as of now, nothing…
Mark: Did you find the attacker in the party?
Tom: Not yet, Mark, I am watching it in every detail, so it is going to be late.
Mark: Don't worry, Tom, I will watch the entrance gate footage. It will give clarity if the attacker entered the party or not.
Tom: Yes, Mark, you watch the entrance footage and let me know if you find any weird thing or if you find the attacker.
Mark: Sure, How is Mona?
Tom: After the treatment done at the hospital, we came home by 2 a.m., and she is sleeping by cuddling Alex instead of me.
Mark: Maybe she missed Alex than you.
Tom: Yes, Mark, she is scared that they may threaten Alex too.
Mark: But I feel relieved because Alex is under your custody and no one dares to attack him.
Tom: Hope soo…
Mark: How is that innocent man?
Tom: Yeah, he is out of danger, but still unconscious.
Mark: Thank god…
Tom: Is Anna, okay?
Mark: She scared, Tom.
Tom: Yeah, I can understand, even Mona too, she outburst with tears the moment we entered into the home.
Mark: Hope all these issues will sort it out soon…
Tom: Hope soo, Okay, Mark, I will continue my work.
Mark: Okay then, Bye…
After Tom's call, I am done with my workout, followed by a bath, and went into my room to check on Anna. She is still in her deep sleep; I smile to myself by looking at her sleep craving. Before she wakes up I wish I want to check the CCTV footage, and I don't want Anna to look into the footage because she may be got upset again by looking at the video. So by holding the laptop, I went to the balcony and started looking at the CCTV footage at the gate where guests were entering. I am observing at every guest in detail.
After a few seconds, I sense a hand on my shoulder; I know it's Anna. I paused the video and looked at her, but she is staring at the laptop screen...
Anna: Is this the CCTV footage of our engagement party night?
Mark: Yes, Anna...
Anna: Why did you pause the video?
Play it, Mark, I want to look at it with you.
Mark: No need, Anna...
Anna: Why no need?
There may be a chance that the attacker may come to the party.
Mark: Yeah, I know, and Tom is already monitoring it, and we no need to watch it exclusively.
Anna: Mark, I want to watch it, I may find any clue.
(By finishing her words, she bends forward and plays the video. I immediately turned off the screen and looked at her seriously.)
Mark: Stop your childish acts, Anna, first get fresh up and get ready, we need to go to the hospital, we are running out of time.
(I told her with my raising angry tone.)
Anna: Yes, Mark, it's still 7:30 a.m., and we have two more hours to go to the hospital, so please play the video, I want to watch.
(She again tried to touch the laptop.)
Mark: Don't kill my time and get ready first, I don't have time to argue with you, Anna...
(I suddenly shouted at her. She freezes by looking at my angry and immediately leads to the bedroom with her teary eyes.
Shit, shit...
Why did I shout at her?
I immediately went to the bedroom to check on her; she closed the washroom door. I feel very sorry; I don't want to hurt her. I thought she might get depressed again when she looked at the footage, but it leads to an argument...
Okay then, I will wait till she returned to the room and I will apologize for my anger and watch the footage with her, when I am waiting for her I got an idea, I immediately went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for us. I want to surprise her with my cooking skills; she feels thrilled if I prepare breakfast for her. The moment I entered the kitchen, Nanny looked at me in shock.
Nanny: Do you need anything, beta?
Mark: No, Nanny, I just want to prepare breakfast for Anna and me personally...
Nanny: I already prepared breakfast for both of you.
Mark: Yes, Nanny, but I want to surprise Anna with the breakfast I cooked...
(Nanny smiled at me.)
Nanny: I understand, you want to impress her for something...
Mark: Actually, I want to make her calm down...
Nanny: Calm down?
Mark: Yes, Nanny, I shouted at her for no reason, so...
Nanny: so, you want to apologize to her by giving a little surprise through breakfast...
(I smiled and nodded my head as Yes.)
Nanny: okay beta, if you need any help, please ask me...
Mark: Sure Nanny,
Nanny: I just want to inform you of one thing, beta...
Mark: What Nanny?
Nanny: I didn't see Rubeus sir after the party, and he didn't come to home yet...
Mark: Good for us..!!!
(I acted casually and didn't tell to Nanny anything about attacks because Anna requested me to don't trust any servants in my house, it doesn't mean I am not trusting Nanny but the spy in my house may get the information from Nanny, so I stay quiet.)
Nanny: Good?
Mark: Yes, Nanny, if he stays here, he will definitely give me the pain like he did before, and I feel it's good because he left home.
Nanny: Maybe he got disappointed by looking at your engagement party with Anna…
Mark: Whatever, I don't care…
Nanny: And I just want to know where have you been last night, beta?
Mark: Why, Nanny?
Nanny: I waited for you and Anna to serve the dinner.
Mark: we went on a date, Nanny, we came to home lately. Next time I will inform you if we are having our food outside.
Nanny: It's okay, beta, I will continue my work and call me if you need anything.
Mark: Sure, Nanny...
(By listening to me Nanny left the kitchen room, and I prepared the simple breakfast and plated in a Trey and went to my room. The moment I entered the room, I saw Anna lay on the bed and placed the towel on her face and hold it tightly. I placed the food tray on the table and went close to her, and tried to take the towel from her face but she holds the towel more tightly, and I am sure she is still crying. I lay beside her and pulled her close to me and wished her, "Good Morning, Strawberry,"
She nodded her head as okay but still didn't take off the towel yet. I tried to take off the towel, but she holds it tightly.
