She had one good look at the man who stole her heart. He had
strong features- dangerous cat eyes,
pointed nose, broad shoulders and proud
chin. But the scar at top of his right eye gave a notorious edge to him. Who
was he? She tried to nudge that question out of her head. But he was very
charming man. Thus she found herself drawn towards him and didn’t realize the
calm atmosphere before any havoc.
Suddenly he took out his .22 pistol out of nowhere and
pointed towards Boris. No one noticed the two shots hit from his pistol. It was
only when the mafia lord fell to the ground that got everyone’s attention. His
men searched everywhere for the shooter. But they didn’t suspect the man who
had stole the heart of their mafia’s mistress.
Inna didn’t feel remorse for the death of her caretaker. She
left his body in care of his well wishers. She ran towards the man of his
dreams. Where did he go? She smiled
secretly though she was disappointed that she couldn’t meet. She wondered, “ So
there are knights in dark horse in this part of world too! Great!”
Now that Boris had gone. His empire was taken over by a
newcomer called Shady Zhane-she hadn’t heard of. Thus she was free.. free to do
as she pleased. She decided to visit her
hometown. With help from few of her friends, she reached her home to find her
dad.
She reached a ghost town that she called her home once upon
a time. It was normal place until a nuclear leakage from a nearby factory
caused loss of life. The town had few dwellers still making livelihood from
lost town. She found her home amongst the empty house. Her house was empty too
like the others. She asked one of passerby about the owner of the house. The
passerby narrated an emotional story of a father who lost his mind when his child
was gone. Later he committed suicide by hanging himself. Inna couldn’t control
her emotions and sobbed hysterically when she was alone. She bought out all the
emotions that she had within herself.
She returned back with lost hope. She was clueless about
what she wanted to do. Since she was no longer Boris’s property, many men tried
to buy her. But she refused all of them.
She was with one of her friends who were girls of Boris like
her. She shared her problem with them and everyone directed her to Shady Zhane.
“ Who is Shady Zhane? Why would he help me ? I was his enemy’s mistress.”, she
asked. “ Because you are his enemy’s mistress.” , they replied.
Her friend took her to Shady Zhane’s den ( Boris’s mansion).
The familiar place that reminded her of Boris had gone. Every place was owned
by Zhane now. In the large room , he was chatting with one of his associates.
When her friend introduced her to him, similar chill ran over her spine. She
blushed and became numb. She could only feel her heart beat as their eyes met
for the first time.
