A promise: That changed my life

Chapter 47: missed me, darling?

Anjali

"Esha, come on, eat the food, " I told my little girl who was making a disgusted face, glancing at the green vegetables.

"No, Mama," She says.

"It's so healthy, baby, you will get more strong!" I tried and failed at convincing her hence she refused the food, saying.

"But it tastes bad, Mama, I just hate it, "

"Esha, eat it, right now!"

"No, I want!" She retorted back.

"You!" I got cut off by my call, "Finish the food before I come, or else it won't be good for you," I warned her, going into the living room to get my phone.

It was a call from an unknown number, is it safe to answer? Wait! It can be from Karan as well, I think Daniel must have told him to call me, yes, this could be possible!

"Hello?!" I excitedly answered the call but my excitement ruined within a moment.

"Missed me, Darling?" The same rude masculine voice scared me, it made my heart halt and my legs weak, "What happened, is cat got your tongue or you get so scared of me that words are not coming out, " He mocked me with full of sarcasm.

"You…" I trail as my blood went cold, I've changed my sim cards twice before landing in Jodhpur so how did he get my number?!

"Yes, it's me, Darling, are you surprised?" He asks.

"H-How did you get my number?" I asked my thoughts.

He chuckled, "I love it, darling, when every time you underestimate my powers and I prove you wrong, it's so fun, you know, "

I can sense the smirk in his tone, "Why don't you just leave us alone?!" I yelled out.

He laughed humorlessly, "Darling if you had given me the right name, and didn't dare to escape from me, I wouldn't have left you anyway by giving you divorce but you decided to test my powers instead, and now you and your daughter have to pay, "

"I am not scared of your empty threats!!"

"I see...You asked me how did I get your number, don't you wanna know how?" He asked in a serious tone.

"H-How?"

"Aren't you staying at the Grand dupes?"

"How d-do you know?" I shuttered.

"Because that's my hotel, Darling, did you forget? That I own multiple hotel chains all over the world with different names and it's one of them, " He replied, laughing in sarcasm.

"You decided to escape from me by staying in my hotel, the ironically lame move," He added.

"Please, Marc, Trust me I am having no affairs, and Esha has nothing to do with anything, don't involve her in this, she is innocent, " I begged, crying.

"No affairs? Then why have you run away from me? And don't you think? it's all started with your daughter in the first place, I can't be the dad so how did you manage to become a mother without having sex with someone else?"

I remained silent, not knowing what to say, I am so stupid to think that I can even escape from hell to protect my daughter who Is not even aware of the world yet.

"No answers to my questions? It means, I was right, you cheated on me and Esha is the result of your cheat, and whoever cheats with me in any way has to pay with their lives. Try to save her from me as much as you can because I am also in India and will come to greet you both soon, " He threatened me, "I even told the security of the hotel to not let you go from there unless I say so don't try to be extra smart," He stated, hanging up the call and this time I was aware that it's almost impossible for me to do anything now.

I can't even leave the hotel now and even if I could, I'm almost out of money. I sat down on the couch, frustrated, suddenly noticing Esha, staring at me with teary eyes from the corner of the door.

"It was daddy, no?" She asks innocently.

I nodded, feeling the tears form in my eyes too, "He will be here to kill us soon, no?" She asked again, walking towards me.

I shook my head, pulling her into a tight hug, "No, my baby, I promise Mama won't let anything happen to you, " I said, gulping the saliva in my throat, "Your daddy is not strong enough as compared to you, you know?"

"How?"

I cupped her cheeks, "Because you are a good girl and gods always stay with good people, they will help us defeat your daddy for sure, " I gave her some hope.

She nodded, smiling, " I believe them,"

I mirrored expression, kissing her on the forehead, "That's like my good girl, now go and finish your remaining food, "

She let out a sigh, "Okay, " as She went to the kitchen.

When I decided to call Daniel quickly to let him know about the situation after trying almost hundreds of calls, he finally answered.

"Daniel?!"

"Anjali? What happened, you sound panic,"

"Danny, I want you to take Esha away from here, "

"Give me some time, An, I am sure I will manage to convince Karan-" I cut him off.

"No, Danny, we don't have time now, I got a call from Marcello, he said he is in India, and unfortunately, the hotel I am staying it's him too, he has cut my ways off to escape, " © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"What the fuck!"

"Yes, even his men are keeping their eyes on me, we have to somehow Esha get out from here without his knowledge, "

"Oh okay, don't worry, I am on my way, "
