"How can you?" He whispered slowly.

"What? I can"t hear you." She asked drawing a little closer to him.

"How did you do this?" He asked her, finally looking up at her.

"I have been planning for this for two weeks, right after I got my memory back and I told my team, the people who came with me about it and they were the ones who supervised this work." She said and leaned back on the chair.

"If you already had a plan to get out of here then why did you lie about your memory loss then?" Troy asked and this fact confused everyone.

"Time, the bomb was scheduled to blast at 3 am but you kidnapped me a lot earlier than that time, so I needed to distract you from your main motive or I"m sure you would have killed someone here to make me sign that will because I know how desperate you are to gain this power. I did that to buy some time but right now you are running out of time and you have still 19 bombs to defuse across Asia cause one has already blasted." She said and smiled, it was a smile of victory.

"Time is running baby... tick tock tick tock." She said and swung her like the arms of a clock.

Sam came back to his senses and started shouting, telling people to do certain things.

"Noah go to the X branch in Y district with a team." He commanded him like he was commanding others.

"Uh uh, he isn"t going anywhere." She said in a commanding, tone looking at him.

Sam got a little irritated at this but ignored her cause at that moment his money was more important to him cause he secretly kept a large amount of money in each of his branches that no one knew about. But somehow, Aria knew about it and used it again him cause it was a trigger that made in anxious. He gave others the commands of what they were supposed to do and then was about to leave as well with them when he looked at her.

"Don"t worry, I"m not gonna leave. I wanna see what you"re capable of." She said in full confidence. Her words angered him even more but he left the building a.s.suming that he would deal with her after coming back.

Now, it was only Aria...I mean Meera and Noah in that room but there was a strange silence. He missed her a lot in these years but now didn"t even know where to start this conversation. She came untied his ropes and then stepped back. She was looking at him with piercing eyes.

"M...meera..." He said hesitantly after getting up. She swung her hand in the air and slapped him across his face.

"Meera?" He asked with a confused look while putting his hand on his red cheek.

"Are you an idiot?" She asked and kicked his feet.

"W...what have I done?" He asked and was still clueless about why she was. .h.i.tting him.

"Wow! What have you done? You don"t realize it yourself." She yelled at him and he covered his face to prevent from getting hit again.

"Who the h.e.l.l told you to leave me?" She said and her voice broke.

He was shocked at her words and slowly removed his hands from his face and looked at her. Her hands were clenched tightly, her eyes were red and her lips were clenched tightly. He at once knew that she was hurting, she was about to cry but didn"t want to. He realized that he was responsible for her this condition. He at once hugged her tightly.

"Why did you do this?" She said and hit his back with her fists and he just caressed her back.

"You know how much it killed me when I got to know that you became a killer because of me. Why did you do this to me?" She said and broke down.

"I"m sorry..." He said and was also starting to tear up.

"I didn"t know it would affect you this badly." He apologized and buried his face into the crook of her neck.

"You could have just left me there." She said and he pulled away from the hug.

"Meera, you were dying there I could even have thought about leaving you. I did what I thought was right at that time." He said and looked into her eyes and all she could see in them was love.

"I"m sorry for making it so hard for you, and coming so late." She apologized and tears ran down her eyes.

"No stupid," He said and wiped away the tears.

"It was worth it, this separation and this wait, it was worth it, cause I love you even more than before."

He connected his forehead with hers, his arms wrapped around her waist and hers around his shoulders. Like that, they just stood there for a while, without saying a word, feeling each other presence and warmth.

"What are we gonna do now?" Noah asked and he was sitting on the chair and she was sitting in his lap.

"What?" She asked back.

"I mean what will we do when Sam comes back? He will definitely try to hurt you again. And what if he actually defused 6 bombs, what will we do then? We can"t just wait here to die." He asked and was worried about her.

"Stop overthinking so much baby." She said and pinched his cheeks because she found him really cute. "I already have a plan."

"Did that poison really affect your brain?" He asked with a suspicious look.

"It did. I wasn"t lying to you. Believe me..." She said anxiously.

"Because you"ve become even smarter." He said and laughed and she made a face.

"Even I am afraid of you." He said and hugged her.

What will happen now, will Sam succeed or not and what is her plan?
