Chapter Seventy Five

Mar's Pov


A date was fixed for Caspian's burial and I was taking care of the expenses. I had no choice but to take up the responsibility. I was his family and I was expected to act as one.


Caspian's wife Jemma had insisted that her husband be buried the Christian way. We took his body to church for his funeral mass and then later proceeded to the graveyard to lay him to rest.

The priest said some prayers over the grave and he was lowered into it and covered up with sand. Caspian's wife kept crying and no matter how much I tried she continued.


Caspian did not want to remarry, I had convinced him to do so. He later gave in and married Jemma. And after, Jemma got pregnant and they had a daughter, and he was going and he wasn't going to be around to look after them.


After the priest left, all the other people followed behind him. I was alone finally. I bent down and placed my hand on the grave.

"I promise to take care of your wife and child," I said and a familiar voice interrupted.

"The same way you promised to look after your woman." I turned around to see Logan. He was walking to meet with me while his guards stood back.


"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"The last time I checked Caspian worked for me," he said

"That was before you sent him to an early grave" I shouted

"No, you did."

"I did no such thing...you killed him just to get me"

"what are you saying?"


"I am speaking facts and how can you prove this fact," he said with a smirk on his face.

"I will make you pay," I shouted.

"That's all you can do. Talk. Talk is cheap Mar. I want action. Prove to me that you are not a pussy. Come back to the headquarters and work for me and I will excuse you for your stupidity" Logan said.

"I will not do that. I will not work for a man who can switch up on me at any time for selfish interest."

"Then be prepared for war and more loss."

"I am prepared for you Logan. You don't know what demon you are creating, I will kill you."

Logan laughed as he turned around and left. Jade and Mera rushed in after Logan's exit.

"Are you okay Mar?" Jade asked.

" Yes... let us get out of here" I ordered and got into the car then drove home.


I had a lot on my mind and the top most important right now was finding Arya. The woman from the orphanage had not given me a call yet and it bothered me.

"Was she also trying to hide something" but I doubt, if she was, she would not have come to meet me the way she had. I was running out of patience and it was frustrating.

I moved to the bar in the house and poured myself a drink. Mera came to meet me

"Boss...you need to eat something," she said.

"I am not hungry. I can't eat while Arya is out there."

"I think she is safe wherever she is, I don't know why she has not returned home yet but I believe she will," she said.

"Why would Arya want to be away from me?" I asked.

Did I not treat her well enough? I had to control my emotions. I did not want Mera to see me as a weak person. I quickly got up from the seat and excused myself.

"I will be in my study," I said and walked up to the study.

I locked the door and sat on my chair.

" Why would Arya want to stay away from me?" I thought.


I was going to the orphanage tomorrow even if I did not get a call from that woman. I spent some time in the study. I tried to organize some documents on my desk. I left the study and went back to the room.

It was late already, so I took a shower and settled in for the night. Then my phone rang, I picked it up and the call was from an unknown number. I was not expecting any calls from my business partners and I had their numbers saved. I wanted to dismiss the call but I remembered that it could be the woman from the orphanage. And my assumptions were right.

"Good evening...I'm sorry for calling this late, I could not call early because of my duties."

"Okay, that's fine."

"I have all the information you need concerning Arya, you can come to the orphanage alone tomorrow."

"I'll be there tomorrow," I said and ended the call. Finally, someone who was willing to talk. But there was something about this woman that seemed so strange. She barely knew who I was but was willing to give me information on Arya. I was going to take the lead.

I dozed off and as usual, I was with Arya in my dreams. It has become a habit.

I asked her to dance and she looked so beautiful with her beautiful smile. I held her close as I turned her around. I pulled her close to me and she smiled at me. I kissed her by the neck and then whispered into her ears how much I loved her. And she responded.

"I love you too"

I took her to the rooftop of the building where we had enough privacy and it felt good holding her so close. I could perceive her and I wanted to taste her.

Then we watched the city and the beauty of it at night while I held her in my arms. She shivered a little and I pulled my jacket to cover her up. She looked at me and I bent down and kissed her.

It was a perfect kiss and it was inviting enough. She kissed me back in return. I held her head and placed it on my chest as I rocked her back. We stood there holding each other and I enjoyed every bit of it.
