"It"s been a long time, baby." She said in a pleasant voice and tilted her head. She was kinda excited to play with him.

"You don"t deserve to call me that." He said in a firm voice.

"Why? Some years ago you were claiming that you gave up your freedom just because you loved me more than anything. Now, look you"re pointing a gun at the girl you loved the most." She said and he was bothered by her words.

"Shut up, I was misled by you in the past. I hate you now..." He said and she could see anger on his face.

"Kill me then..." She said abruptly. He was startled by her words and widened his eyes.

"I"m standing right here in front of you, I don"t have any weapons, there"s no security on this floor and I"ve commanded them to let you go even if you kill me. So just do it." She rea.s.sured him.

"Kill me." She repeated.

He just stared at her quietly, without a single movement. She stayed relaxed and kept a smile on. He was lost deep in thoughts about what to do now. His brain told him to kill her and end it here, but his heart told him to quit there and ask her why she did all those things in the past. He was confused about who to listen to, his heart, or his brain. His finger was on the trigger and in a flash, he could kill her and end this story. He was frightened for this was an important decision for him, either he could kill her end never find out the reasons why she did it or he could find the reasons and then regret letting her go again. After some time he suddenly lowered his gun and looked up at her.

"I don"t want vengeance, I just want my answers." He decided to listen to his heart.

"I wanna know why you did all those things, why you deceived me, and killed my father. Everyone, the Trio, Troy, and now even Mary only have good things to say about you so why did you do this? What pushed you to become so evil?" He asked her and seemed genuine this time.

She chuckled and stood up. She walked towards him and suddenly thrust a needle into his neck, she had an injection in her hand all this time. She injected some liquid into his body and He collapsed right away.

"Sorry baby, but you just exposed your vulnerability..." She said and had a gloomy expression on her face.

She summoned the trio and Jimmy to her office and asked them to take him away.

"Ari, what are you planning to do?" Sofi asked her carefully.

"You know what"s Sam"s biggest weakness..." She asked and completely neglected her question.

"No mam," Sofi replied politely and understood that she wasn"t even listening to her.

"He"s kept so many secrets from his people that it became my biggest weapon against him." She said and stood by the window.

"Troy and Noah are his most powerful men and the easiest to break with the truth." She said and gazed at her reflection. She looked scary, her eyes were distant, there was no emotion in them. It seemed as if she could kill anyone at that point.

*After an hour or so*

Noah was lying on the floor, his eyes fluttered and his hands moved a bit, he got a cold shiver. He woke up slowly and adjusted his eyes to the dim light that was present in the room, by blinking a few times. He found himself in a morgue. He felt cold because the temperature was low. He rubbed his arms a bit and stood up. He noticed her sitting in front of him. She just stared at him without saying a word. They both were wearing thin clothes and felt cold but her expressions didn"t even change.

"What do you want from me?" He asked her, his voice quivering a little bit due to cold.

"No, this is what you wanted, the answers." She said and stood up from the chair.

"What? You wanna kill me here?" He asked her rudely.

"I would"ve done that a long time ago if I wanted to." She said and stepped towards him.

"Will you believe me if I say I didn"t kill David?" She asked him as she stroked his cheek.

"Why should I? Do you even have any proof?" He asked and shook her hand away.

"I can answer all your questions, who killed David and why." She said and stared at him to see his reaction.

"Who is your mom?" She said and he looked at her in surprise.

"Why Sam was so obsessed with you and why he hated me why I"m so keen to destroy him. Everything." She said and he was kinda curious.

"Why? Why would you do it? Don"t you hate me?" He asked her and she smiled.

"Oh believe me I do hate you." She a.s.sured him.

"It"s fun to play with people"s feelings." She confessed and came closer to him, her expressions turned wicked. He was afraid of her.

"What if I don"t wanna know?" He asked hesitantly.

"Then freeze to death." She said coldly.

"I"m giving you an option you just gotta help me and you can get out of that world, you can know all the secrets that were hidden from you or you can choose to die." She told him and pretty much didn"t give him an option.

"What do you want?" He asked her directly.

"Believe me." She said and he was puzzled.

"Just follow what I say and all the secrets will be revealed on their own." She explained further.

"Choice is yours..." She said and sat back on the chair, just staring at him quietly.

He swallowed nervously, although he didn"t have much choice he was reluctant to follow her, for now, he couldn"t even tell who she was. He couldn"t predict what was going in her mind.

"Time is running, the temperature will decrease every minute."She said and panicked him even more.

"Okay fine," He said after considering for some time.

"I"ll follow you." He continued. "But you can"t deceive me this time."

She smirked as the real game had begun now, all the p.a.w.ns were in their place and she just had to wait for Sam to make his next move...
