"You are next, Miss Nandini Murthy." Manik said coldly slashing both of my parents throat's with his hands. 

I woke up with a start and looked around me and found no body inside the tiny room. I sighed in relief that it was only a nightmare. I immediately hugged myself myself to be strong. I have nobody in this world, all thanks to the monster sleeping peacefully in his mansion. 

Miss Nandini Murthy!

His voice still vibrated in my ears. It was as if he is sitting behind me and caging me with his strong hands. I could still feel his breath on my nape while he called my name. 

I snapped out of my thoughts and stood up. My name! He called me by my name. He killed my parents and kidnapped me from my own house. So he is the living proof about my identity. Manik is my only chance to prove my identity to everyone. 

I clapped in joy. I am getting smart day by day.

I completed my daily chores as fast as I can and walked the same way towards Manik's secret path. I stood in front of the door and knocked at it twice but he did not open the door. "Manik" I called but got no response. I pushed the door and its locked. 

Is he showing attitude? Is he still asleep? Or is he dead? Holy Moly! Manik had medical history of internal bleeding which I couldn't complete the last time. I think he must be unwell again. I must save him before he dies and my identity remains a mystery forever. 

I tried wriggling the door to open but it didn't budge an inch. There were no stones around to break the door as well. Should I call Dhruv or Mr. Malhotra for help? No, that will be a bad idea. They might not know how to stop internal bleeding. And Manik might die if we could not save him on time. So I decided to enter inside his room by climbing anything and jumping inside the building. 

There was a pipe made of cement next to the wall so I held the top latch with my left hand and kept my foot on the bottom latch. I climbed one more step only to realize there are no more latches above and I am three feet above the ground. Now how do I get down or get into the mansion?

"Why does your brain work so different?" Manik's voice startled me and I lost my grip. I thought I will fall on the ground and closed my eyes tightly. 

I slowly opened my eyes and a pair of chocolate brown eyes were staring already at me. My arms were around his neck while he held me in his arms. Thankfully, he caught me in time before I could fall on the ground. I tried to get down but his grip was tight. I looked back at him and he was still staring at my face as if he was lost in some thoughts. 

"Manik?" I poked his eyelash and he came to his senses. He carefully let me down and I got my balance. He is in his sleeveless black vest and jogging tracks. He had air pods in his ears and a smirk on his face.
