Something's strange.

As soon as we reached William was standing at the door fuming, I unlocked the car door and instantly hoped out of it.

" Get inside Alizeh " William said through his gritted teeth.

" William actually.. " I wasn't even able to complete my sentence when he almost barked at me..

" I said get inside Alizeh, I won't be repeating it . "


Scared, I went inside straight to my room.
I don't know what William will do to Eddie..
I was getting worried by each passing second...

I'm afraid that he might hurt Eddie this time.. But soon he came back and barged into my room looking all furious as Usual.


I was damn scared, last night's brutality was still fresh in my mind.. I can't take anymore .
But what he did next was something I never ever expected from someone like him..


" Alizeh, from now onwards you can go out whenever you like to. But with a condition, Eric will drive you any where you want to go and you can't go out of the town. " He said and left the room instantly.


What.... Wait... Am I dreaming... He came to tell me that I can roam freely with my will around the town.
No... No.. This can't be true... How..
The way William behaved after seeing Eddie with me.. I expected the worst..
Then he behaves like this ..
How ?
I thought that William would definitely hurt Eddie today, but looking at him didn't felt like he did something like that...
I'm happy that Eddie didn't got hurt and I'm happy that, William allowed me to go out.. With my will. But can I trust him on this.
I doubt... Isn't it some of his filthy plan to trap me
To find out if I'm planning something against him... Cause I can't risk that .. I have already began with my search to find out about his, family.... To know his weak points.. Every man does has weakness, and I believe he too must be having one.. I can't let him doubt me... I have to keep on progressing in the process of his destruction..

But this little freedom is also, relieving.. Finally , I don't have to sneak out.. I can move freely..

I was still reeling into this new found freedom , when suddenly my new phone buzzed, I don't even have to guess who it is..
It was a message from Eddie.
Saying that tomorrow he'll meet me at same place but different time, he'll meet me there at one, in the afternoon . I should be there as he has got something to show me.

Well, that's rude... It's like he is commanding me.. And I don't even have the outgoing service to reply hum back..
.
Finally the day packed with mind blasting surprise ended.

Next day I was excited to see what Eddie has got to show me.
Since now, I don't have to sneak out to go. I was more relaxed..
In afternoon I called Eric to tell him to drive me, to the river side..
As soon as the clock struck 1 I reached.

I saw Eddie was standing there with a car..... A racing car..

Seeing me there he smiled and walked up to me, reaching me he offered his hands..

" Shall we, " He asked.

" To where? " I asked perplexed..


" Ohh, Liz it's a surprise.. Remember I took you out for a horse ride and you loved it, trust me you'll love to ride in this car too.. Now stop wasting time and let the fun begin. " He said.. Offering his hands again
I took his hands and we walked towards the car, reaching there, Eddie released my hands and opened the door for me, like a gentleman.. And then he too hoped inside the car, starting the engine he excitedly asked.. " Ready.. "


" Yes, of course.. " I responded enthusiastically..

He started driving, but my mind was still in dilemma.
I was still thinking how did Eddie was able to walk out of William's wrath. I still remember how William treated Eric when he saw me with him or for a matter of fact how he treats anyone whom he sees with me

Having no more control over my thoughts I asked him..



" Eddie, how were you able to get away from William, so easily.. I know it is not that easy.. " I said confused..


" Come on Liz, I have already told you my dad works for him.. And my dad has done a whole lot of great deals for him, so it's east I get the benefit of doubt.. " He said with a grin..


" So if your dad works for him, then you being here with me can affect your dad's career.. Don't you think that, what if William finds out and can kick your dad Christian, out. " I asked him.


" Liz, I know he will never be able to find out until unless we our self tell him. And don't worry about my dad, William can never kick him out.. He is his right hand. " Eddie said and then he speed up the car..
Showing me all the beautiful sceneries across the city..

It was beautiful experience.. Riding with him in that racing car.. He took me to whole lot of different places.. We had lunch together. Eddie talked about his college days in London.. And so many more things.. But he didn't talked about his mother... I wanted to ask him about his mother.. But observing that he himself is not ready to share that, I avoided asking him..

I also told him few details about my life very few. Hiding all the necessary details..Cause I still can't trust him enough.

Finally the wonderful day came to an end.. It was getting dark now... Eddie came back to drop me by the river side.. Eric was already waiting for me, there..
But as soon as we reached and I was about to hop out of Eddie's car.. He turned me in a Swift motion and kissed me..
What... The hell...
And the thing that shocked me was.. I didn't pushed him, instead I reciprocated the same.. With same passion..
Enjoying his each and every single touch .. The way he was worshipping my lips gave me butterflies.

But suddenly Someone knocked at the window bringing me out of my stupid act..

But when I saw who was at window...
Damn it.. Eric.... He saw me kissing Eddie..
I pushed Eddie of and without even giving him the last glance, I ran towards the car that Eric got to take me back..

Eric came behind me and took the drivers seat while I sat on the back seat totally embarrassed.. And scared that what will happen if he told everything to William.
I avoided looking at Eric.. But he too wasn't looking at me either..
This silence was killing me so I finally decided to speak..

" Eric , what you saw.. " I just started to speak but he cut me off.. Saying that.

" Madam whatever you do is your business.. Not mine.. I'll just suggest you to be careful.. And please don't be scared, I'm not going to tell Mr Henry anything.. " He said gently smiling at me..

I'll always be great full to this man. He always saves me.
I just nodded in response and Said thank you in low voice.

We finally reached palace, and there I got to know that, William was gone for a week on a business tour..

Seems like God is being gracious on me..
But my mind was still disturbed from what happened between me and Eddie.. I'm supposed to be his friend then why did he kissed me and damn it.. Why did I returned the favour...
Damn it.. I was still into shock when Eddie messaged me asking for an apology for what he did and assuring that it won't happen again.. And pleading me to keep meeting him the way I do..


I still don't trust him that he'll follow what he is saying.. But I can't deny the fact that I like to spend time with him... And I can't even deny the fact that after William's brutality.. It was the first time when someone touched me with care and affection making me feel like a person..

I can't loose this fine thread of happiness that I have found in recent time.
And since then I kept meeting Eddie every single day, he took me to new places.. Parks and many more..
He respected my choice, and didn't even touched me after that kiss.
He treated me like a princess all the time..
I almost forgot how it's to be respected since the time I married the monster.. But Eddie was bringing it all back. Which was scary.. Cause I was getting distracted.. From my aim.. I almost stopped thinking about my revenge on William.. I became someone, who now was only searching for her happen in that random stranger who was slowly entering my heart and was always on my mind..
.. I didn't even realized how easily and fast these six days went by... William will be back by tomorrow..

Eddie dropped me back, asking me to meet him again tomorrow.

I walked up to the main door of the palace.. And knocked.
The maid opened the door.
Then I saw William sitting there in the hall, with my father... And brother..
No way..

Not again.. I knew giving me freedom was his way of trapping me... No no..
Every time when we were around him, he only destroyed us.

What is his plan now... Why has he got them here.. Does he knows everything that happened between me and Eddie... That's why he got dad and Danny here... So that he can hurt them to punish me...
But when he spoke....
My mind went into frenzy....
