Clothes sleeping on the floor, things scattered everywhere, and the ssy room looked like it was designed by three years old. When Sharon inford Devin that Leena hurriedly went into the room, he panicked that sothing might have happened to her and straight away proceeded to the room. In the end, it surprised him with a disordered room.
Devin strolled towards Leena, careful enough not to step on the clothes. When his gaze landed on the mobile Leena was holding in her hands, he realized. Detective Leena is on the surface.
Leena glanced up at him, a guilty look on her face. She should have carried out this mission secretly, but in her frenzy state to know about Devin's childhood love, Leena forgot everything. But her efforts didnot bring forth any results. Why was he so secretive about that woman? Her heart pained as if it was ripped apart whenever she thinks of Devin's childhood love. Leena swore if she confronts that woman in the future, she will...No..she has no idea what she is going to do.
Squatting in front of Leena, Devin grabbed the mobile from her hands, a silly smile on his face as he looked at Leena's culpable face. ''I never knew 'detective' was under the description of 'wife'.
''I_I was only curious to know more about you.'' Leena confidently lied with a pout.
''To the extent of hacking into my mobiles?''
''Are you angry?'' Leena whispered and glanced into his eyes, expecting to see anger, but all she saw was his tender smile.
''Have I ever got mad at you?'' Devin got up from his squatting position. Pulling Leena to stand, he led her out the room. ''If you had asked, I would have shown it to you by myself.'' In Devin's view, Leena is like the police. She can have all the evidence in the world but still wants a confession from him.
''There is no thrill in asking you.'' She countered as she sat on the bed.
''So, what clues my detective Leena found?'' Hugging her stomach, Devin rested his chin on her neck.
Leaning her back on his chest, Leena contemplated whether to ask the question driving her mad for a long ti. Also, both promised not to keep secrets with themselves. ''I found sothing odd,'' Leena finally stated.
''What is it?''
''Wait here. I will be back.'' Leena got up, went into the closet again, and returned with the three mobiles. One by one, Leena showed it to Devin as she explained. ''I phone7 launched in 2016, I phone XS launched in 2018, and I phone 11 launched in 2019, and these were the mobiles used by you in the past.''
''Yes, Sweetheart.'' He tugged her hair at the back of her ear. ''So, what is odd about it?''
''What about the other mobiles? 2016, 2015, and before that? Didn't use a mobile at all, or did you keep it sowhere else?''
Leena's question was an eye-opener to Devin. When he thought about it, indeed, Leena was true. Almost every year, he changes his mobile, and he rembered he was using iPhones since their first launch. If that was the case, where did they go? He would always keep the old clutter in the top shelf corner of the closet safely. Is it again sothing to do with my mories? After Leena entered into his life, Devin has been discovering new things related to his mories. If not for Leena, he wouldn't have known he has lost a crucial part of his mories. The first triggered Elysian mory, to the recent heart-shaped tattoo one. Everything is connected to Leena sohow. ''Leena, I_ I think_''
''You have blocked your mories, Devin,'' Leena concluded. Initially, she thought Devin was under stress, but she is wrong. Sothing big has happened in the past. Either soone forcefully repressed his mories, or Devin might have himself buried them. And the Reason? Nobody knows.
''I will not lie to you, Leena. Indeed, I feel sothing is wrong with my brain. Suddenly, I get juggled recollections, and when I wanted to piece them together, I would end up with a panic attack.''
''Do you think soone did it to you?'' Embracing him into a side hug, Leena voiced her suspicion.
Twirling her hair, Devin was gazing at the mobile, his mind in deep thoughts. ''I don't know. I will consult a doctor.''
''Don't.'' Leena denied it sharply. ''I don't want you to feel pain anymore, Devin. I am okay with your mory loss.'' Leena sternly refused. Not everyone has to be perfect.
''Listen to , Leena.'' Devin lifted her chin and looked into her panic eyes. ''I had a panic attack because it was too sudden. With a professional doctor around, I might not feel the pain.''
''But_''
''Aren't you curious?'' He questioned. More than Leena, Devin was curious after he saw the heart-shaped tattoo on her back. What if his mories are connected to Leena? He has to find out.
Leena was neither curious nor intrigued, but she wanted Devin to regain his mories back and let go of the past. Her only hope was, his childhood love will not appear to create a rift between them. ''I want to know.''
''Let's visit a doctor. then.''
''Fine, but I want you to recuperate fully before that,'' Leena added, leaving no room for argunts. She doesn't want to give much importance to that woman.
''Yes, madam.''
''I will contact a Neurosurgeon,'' Leena suggested. She was thinking of contacting Morvena, but she doesn't trust that woman. What if that ugly woman eyes her Devin? A man would be a better option.
''You don't have to. I have soone in my mind.'' Devin added.
''Who is it?''
''Let's keep it a secret for now.''
''As you say.'' She smiled and suddenly had the urge to tease Devin. Raising Devin's hand to her mouth, she bit his finger playfully. To further tease him, she pushed his finger in and out of her mouth, inducing passion in him.
''Little vixen! You dare to take advantage of ?'' Devin pushed her onto the bed and went on top of her. If he cannot have her today, he knows the way to torture her. With her simple action, he turned hard already. ''You will seduce , but you will not give in?'' His threatening voice awakened a wild soul in her craving for his fiery passion.
Soon, Leena cried, laughed, giggled, begging for rcy. ''De_vin...Stop tickling , y_ou beast!''
''You started it.''
Laughter echoed in the rooms as the couple rrily enjoyed their ti.
...
On the other end, chaos mulled in the eting room. Kurt closed his eyes leisurely, sitting on the chair, not intended to listen to the accusation from his superior directing towards him.
''Look at you, how ignorant you are behaving with your superior.'' Marielle threw the newspaper as she reiterated the headlines of the news. ''Kurt Weller throwing dirt on Leius Pharma labs. Was he on his senses when he comnted on one of the best brand -Tis York.''
''Is it the FBI approach to enter into the headlines - The Wall Chronicles'' Marielle's forehead creased with wrinkles.
''I have no more words. Were you in senses when you tried to throw dirt on the Leius pharma labs? For God's sake, Leius has a brand mark.'' Marielle yelled. ''Are you at least listening to ?''
''I am!'' Without opening his eyes, Kurt muttered. ''You can go ahead.''
''How am I suppose to answer this to my superior, Kurt?''
''Tell him, allow to do a puppet show in the center of the New York City as a punishnt.''
Kurt!'' Marielle shouted after him. ''I am serious.''
''What am I supposed to do then?'' Kurt opened his eyes and turned to her sharply, his voice calm or perhaps trying to keep it in that way to control his rage. ''I was personally called by you on a mission. You very well know what's happening inside the backdoors of the Leius labs, and you are still supporting them? Why can't we seize the company directly? Is it because it has got strong political support?''
''Don't forget our laws,'' Marielle stressed. ''We can't take action without the evidence.''
''Screw with your laws.''
''Keep in mind that we work for the governnt.'' Marielle reminded him.
''You keep bringing that every ti—sha on us.'' Kurt stord out of the room, leaving Marielle with another headache of clearing his na from the headlines. Arnold, you need to search for a woman for this fellow seriously.
When Kurt was out of the room, he called his team for an official eting without wasting any ti. ''Any news?''
''Sir, they are ticulous in every step they are taking. They have figured it out.''
''Damn those bastards!'' Kurt banged his hand on the table. He knew it when they had conducted a free campaign for the hospitals.
''I don't know if it is valuable or not.'' Clence, one of his team, stated. ''Landon Derwin has visited Langone hospitals twice in the sa week, but one of our sources inford, he didnot et anyone.''
''Langone hospital?'' Kurt muttered. It's the hospital Aunt Heather works as a lead Surgeon.
''Also,'' Clence rembered another information he found. ''A table is booked under his na at the Signature hotel for two people,''
''When is it happening?''
''Tomorrow, 7 in the evening.'' Clence added. ''I will go and monitor his_''
''No.'' Kurt denied. ''I will take up this task. eting adjourned.''
''Yes, Sir.''
Kurt slumped on the chair, massaging his temples, while his thoughts focused on tackling the situation. Leius founder and Devin's assassination have turned into a mystery for him. He has to focus his attention on tomorrow's case.
.....
The following day..
Standing in front of the mirror, a woman was standing inside the bathroom as she looked at her reflection nervously. ''You can do it, Kyle. Take a deep breath, and rember Leena's words '' She huffed and puffed, taking long deep breaths. After the deep relaxation, she was about to go out of the room but turned again. ''I forgot to retouch my makeup.''
When she was busy rummaging her purse, she suddenly felt a man passed by her as fast as a dear. When she looked back, it was empty.
Kyle glanced at the other woman, who was busy wearing makeup. ''It must be my imagination. Otherwise, she should have also felt it.'' She muttered to herself.
Ignoring it, Kyle retouched her makeup and turned around to leave when a woman pushed open the door panting heavily, sucking a lollipop like a baby.
''Hey! Did soone enter into the bathroom just now?'' She demanded, looking at the woman from head to toe as she slurped her lollipop.
Kyle looked at the woman and then to the other side of the bathroom doors.. So, I didnot imagine. Should I inform her or not?
