Chapter 133: The Circle Of Revenge

In the sterile confines of her isolation, Sara’s wild eyes darted around the bare room, pupils dilated with paranoia. Her hands shook uncontrollably as she pressed them against her ears, as if trying to block out the imaginary growls of the unseen hound. A phantom scent of vinegar lingered in the air, tormenting her senses.

"I can’t shake it off, it’s everywhere," she muttered to herself, voice quivering with a disconcerting blend of fear and frustration. The whispery echoes of her words seemed to bounce off the white walls, emphasizing her isolation.

Her movements were erratic within the confined space. Every step carried the weight of an invisible menace, with Sara’s shoulders hunched defensively. Demetri observed her through a small observation window, the glass separating them from the unpredictable patient inside.

Sara’s gaze fixated on the corners of the room, as if anticipating an imminent threat. She moved with jittery energy, pacing back and forth like a caged animal. The doctors had stripped her environment of anything that could become a weapon, leaving only the stark emptiness that mirrored the desolation within her own mind.

At times, her actions became more frenzied, fingers clawing at the air, a desperate attempt to fend off the unseen assailant. "Stay away! Stay away!" she shrieked; her voice bordered on hysteria that ricocheted off the sterile walls.

The doctors exchanged concerned glances and looked at the man who stood amidst them," The patient has been like this since she was brought here. If she was acting, she could not have held on for so long. Mr Frost, we think that she genuinely believes that she is being attacked by a dog. We understand that she is a criminal but no court would deem her sane and imprison her. The end result is going to be her winding up here. She is not going to be able to provide you any more information."

As Demetri left the hospital, he ordered," Spread the news about Sara’s insanity. They want to kill my Nora and hide? They will first have to rescue their daughter...

Ian followed Demetri out of the hospital with his brows raised. He’d understood a lot of things about his brother and Nora’s relationship during the rescue and come to one conclusion. Demetri and Nora had not married because they were madly in love with each other. It was some sort of an arrangement. He’d been thinking of questioning Demetri about this but had not had a chance yet. However, seeing his brother now, he had his doubts again...

"Your Nora? Demon, I never expected you to be so possessive and devoted the way you are to Nora. You now look like a man in love."

"Ian, you need to get your eyes tested. I will recommend a good ophthalmologist."

Ian frowned and questioned," What do you mean? Are you saying that you are not in love?"

Instead of answering the question, Demetri accelerated the car, making Ian feel his heart coming to his throat. The car sped through the empty freeway, a metallic beast devouring the asphalt beneath its wheels. Ian, his knuckles white against the edge of the seat, glanced at Demetri with a mixture of confusion and apprehension.

The tension in the car hung thick as Demetri’s eyes glittered with mischief unseen by Ian. Ian’s frown deepened, and he questioned Demetri even as his heart thumped against his ribs, "What do you mean? Are you saying that you are not in love with Nora? Is that why you are speeding up and not answering?"

Instead of offering a straightforward answer, Demetri pressed the accelerator, causing the car to surge forward with newfound ferocity. The world outside blurred into streaks of light, and Ian’s heartbeat matched the rapid rhythm of the engine.

"Demon, slow down!" Ian’s voice betrayed a mix of fear and frustration as he gripped the armrest, his mind racing with thoughts of impending doom. The wind howled against the windows, drowning out any attempts at conversation.

Demetri, however, seemed unfazed by his brother’s distress. The corners of his lips curled into a wicked grin as he navigated the car through the lengthy expanse of the freeway.

Ian’s imagination ran wild, conjuring images of a tragic end to their escapade and raised his hands in surrender," Fine fine. I won’t question you again!"

Then, as abruptly as it had begun, the acceleration slowed, and the car gradually came to a stop. Ian let out a breath he didn’t realize he’d been holding, his shoulders relaxing with relief.

Demetri turned to Ian, a sly smile playing on his lips. "Scared you, didn’t I?"

Ian glared at him, still processing the adrenaline-fueled rollercoaster of emotions, "What was that about? Are you insane?"

Demetri’s grin widened, and he reached over, giving Ian an affectionate bop on the head. "Nah, just trying to get you to see things more clearly, my dear brother. You really need to get your eyes tested. I’ve been head over heels for Nora for ages, and you’re just catching on now."

Ian looked at Demon in a daze as the man continued to smile. Finally, unable to understand if he was dreaming or not, he pinched himself gently before poking at Demetri," Have you been possessed by a ghost?"

Demetri shook his head and turned his head to look art Ian seriously," Ian, your suspicions about my marriage with Nora might be true but there is one thing I want you to always remember in the future. It doesn’t matter what I do or say, whether the marriage is real or not. Whether it survives or not. Even if the world believes that I am her biggest enemy. Even if she believes I hate her, she is going to be the only person whom I hold in my heart."

"That little girl wiggled into my heart and made a place for herself when I wasn’t looking. And it took the loud thundering blast of that bomb to wake me up to this truth and accept it."
