A Slave To My Vengeful Lover

Anna's POV:

I am shocked the moment I listened to Rubeus uncle and I immediately strike my head as no, actually; I want to ask him about the box he is looking for but he in reverse asked me about the box but this time he asked me about the bracelet box and he gives clarity that the box may be related to this bracelet and I still remember how he searched the box in Ria's room, so it's better If I confirmed from him whether the box he searched and the bracelet box is same...

Anna: So what is that box uncle?

Why are you searching for it everywhere in Mark's house out of nervous?

Is there anything else in that box?

Or are you searching for a different Box?

(Rubeus uncle takes a long breath and again looked at the bracelet.)

Rubeus uncle: There is a special feature in the bracelet box, Anna...

Anna: Special feature?

Rubeus uncle: Yes, and the feature will work only when we keep the bracelet in the box...

Anna: What is the special feature in it, uncle?

Rubeus uncle: It records the voice note for 15 to 20 seconds...

Anna: What?

(I asked Rubeus uncle in shock, Rubeus uncle came close to me and started explaining.)

Rubeus uncle: I guess you know that Ria is fond of pearls, Anna...

(I nodded my head as yes and that's true, Ria likes pearls a lot, she has many collections of Pearls.)

Rubeus uncle: So on her birthday I surprised her with this engraved pearl special feature bracelet, and with the help of the designer I inserted a special feature in it. We can record the voice for 15 to 20 seconds, but we can record or hear the voice only when the bracelet placed into the box...

So I recorded my voice by wishing Ria a happy birthday and gifted her. She is so much excited and felt so happy by looking at my gift and she promised me that she never take away this bracelet from her hand...

And I can understand how precious you are to Ria...

(I understand about the special feature of the bracelet, and I understand Rubeus uncle is searching for the bracelet box and there is no other box he searched for but I am still confused for the reason he searched for the bracelet box.)

Anna: Why did you search for the box uncle?

Rubeus uncle: to listen to Ria's last voice note...

Anna: What?

Rubeus uncle: I already told you that I am sure Ria will leave the last note to me, it might be any mode like a letter, voice note or a clue…

It might be anything, Anna…

First, I thought she might write the last letter to me, but I searched for her entire room but didn't find any letter. Suddenly I got a thought of Ria's bracelet, and only Ria and I know about the special feature of the bracelet and I am sure she left her voice note to me. So I started searching for the bracelet in the room...

(Uncle's hope on Ria's last wish is increasing and I don't know how to tell him about Ria's last letter and she didn't mention anything about Rubeus uncle, So, it's better if I convince him.)

Anna: Uncle, please believe that Ria didn't leave any last note…

Rubeus uncle: Then it must be a murder, Anna…

Anna: What..?

What wrong with you uncle...?

Why are you thinking it's a murder…

(I asked him with my rage tone because Ria was brutally attacked by my brother and his friends and she left her last note to me and clearly explained everything to me, and she didn't even exclusively mention Mark too, she just stated "Take care of Mark" and now Rubeus uncle is thinking it is murder for no reason.)

Rubeus uncle: Anna, my Mona is so strong and brave girl. She is not the kind of girl who will try to kill themselves by not facing the issues in life.

(I nodded my head as yes because I agree with Rubeus uncle and yes, Ria is so strong person even I am shocked when I heard that she was suicided.)

Anna: But, uncle, even a strong person may get weak some times uncle, she might suffer from pain which may not express to us.

Rubeus uncle: I will definitely find whatever it is Anna…

(I nodded my head as okay and continued to know about the bracelet.)

Anna: So uncle, at first, you started searching for the bracelet, right?

Rubeus uncle: Yes dear, when I am busy in searching for the bracelet, Nanny entered into the room and said she saw the bracelet on your wrist...

Anna: What..?

(I shouted in shock and didn't understand what is happening...

Because Nanny and I discussed about the Rubeus uncle's theft blame on me, and the moment Nanny entered the room she said Rubeus uncle is searching for something and when she asked for what he is searching for, he said bracelet and he immediately asked Nanny to check into my room...

Nanny's explanation is not matching with Rubeus uncle's explanation...

Rubeus uncle is saying that Nanny is initiated to check my room whereas Nanny said to me that Rubeus uncle wants to check my room...

I am totally confused now…

Out of these two people's reasons, which reason I should trust?

It's better if I confirm it again from Rubeus uncle.)

Anna: Uncle, is that Nanny who suggested you to check Ria's bracelet in my room?

Rubeus uncle: Yes dear, it's Nanny who said about the bracelet and the moment she said I ran towards your room to check it but Nanny too followed me so I take her help and checked your room and found the bracelet, rest you know what happened...

(I nodded my head as ok in confusion.)

Rubeus uncle: What happened, Anna?

Why are you looking so confused and shocked?

(Shall I say to him about the fact that what Nanny said to me or shall I hide this from him until I got the clarity?

It's better first I asked his opinion about Nanny, later I will decide whether I can say to him or not.)

Rubeus uncle: Anna..!

Anything serious?

Anna: No uncle, I am just thinking about Nanny...

Rubeus uncle: Nanny?

Anna: Yes uncle, tell me about your opinion on Nanny...

Rubeus uncle: Anna, why are you asking me about Nanny?

Anna: uncle....

Please...

I want to know about your opinion on Nanny, so please tell me…

Rubeus uncle: Why...

Anna: uncle, please...

Rubeus uncle: I will tell you everything but first, tell me why are you asking about her...

Did you suspect her for any reason?

Please tell me your intentions Anna,

(Rubeus uncle is not in a position to listen to me, and he doesn't say anything to me until I express my opinion. So I said to him about my view on Nanny.)

Anna: okay uncle, I will say what I experienced from Nanny...

In the starting few days, Nanny takes care of me like her daughter, I really liked her but when the situations changed, I see a change in her behaviour. I don't know whether it is my perception or in real but at present, I feel insecure when Nanny is around me,..

Rubeus uncle: What are those situations, Anna...

Anna: After listening to your explanation regarding searching for the bracelet, I feel Nanny is too mean to me; I didn't understand whether I realised it lately or am I overthinking and hallucinating about her in the wrong way?

Rubeus uncle: There must be a strong reason behind your confusion, Anna, tell me the reason, then I will tell you everything...

Anna: I don't have any particular reason uncle...

After your poison attack Tom warned me to be alert all the time with every person and from that moment Nanny too started interrogating me everything...

Rubeus uncle: interrogation?

Anna: Yes uncle, she always asks me where we went, where is Mark, and where is Rubeus sir, etc...

And I got confused with her when she served the poisoned drink to you at my engagement party. I don't have any proofs that she mixed the poison in your drink, but at the same time, I am not thinking she is innocent and good anymore...

Maybe I might think in the wrong way because of suspecting everyone at home, and I may hallucinating all my thoughts...

Rubeus uncle: No Anna, you are not hallucinating, your 6th sense is warning you to be cautious with her...

Anna: What?

(I asked with my shocked tone and Rubeus uncle is looking at me with his smiling face.)

Anna: Uncle, Do you too suspect Nanny?

Rubeus uncle: maybe...

Anna: Maybe?

What do you mean by maybe, uncle?

Do you think she has the hand in all these crimes..?

Rubeus uncle: Even I don't have any proof to prove about Nanny, Anna...

But due to some incidents, I am caution about her too...

Anna: Incidents?

Rubeus uncle: Yes, Anna...

Anna: Please tell me in detail uncle, So I can understand her and I will clear my confusion too...

Please tell me about the incidents...

Rubeus uncle: Okay, but I am not sure that they will correlate to the present situation...
