Abeer reached his living area , happiness filled inside him at its peak.

"So finally you are here!" Abeer said excitedly only to turn down his excitement witnessing the person in front of him.

"Hello, Abeer. You recognised me , even after meeting after so long.", Mia said , turning herself to face Abeer.

"Oh! It's you, Mia.",Abeer said , his smiling face turning into a poker expression.

"Yeah..So whom were you expecting ,duffer ?"Mia questioned ,reading his expression .

"Ahh! Noone..come inside.",Abeer gestured ,trying to hide his pain.

"So Mr. didn't you think to inform me about your return ? I am really upset with you this time. You disappointed me. After all I am the only girl in your life who is your friend so in short I am your girlfriend. Ain't I ? ",Mia pouted showing her eyes.

"Drama queen ! You didn't change a little bit even after so many days. ", Abeer mumbled , sitting beside her.

"Ah! But I guess you have changed so much in these few days. What's the reason behind it?", Mia questioned, winking at him.

"Stop it ,Mia. It's nothing like that."Abeer stopped her from thinking in the wrong direction.

"Come on. I was kidding. Tell me now ,where have you been for so many days ?",Mia questioned as soon as she settled herself comfortably beside him.

"Someone planned my murder and trapped me in all this," Abeer confessed.

"Do you get to know about the real culprit behind all this ?"Mia questioned , becoming serious .

"I hired a detective for this ,soon we will get to know about the real culprit,"Abeer confessed.

"Hmm..But take care of yourself now. You are my only mental friend whom I don't want to lose.",Mia scoffed, faking tears .

"I will make your favorite coffee. Wait here for me. I'll come back in five minutes. ",Abeer said raising from his seat.

"I will not let you go so easy man. Next time when I come back I want you to have dinner with me. But for now, I am really getting late so I have to go. I was just here to ask your whereabouts. Now you should take a rest .",Mia said,smilingly .

"Okay boss...as you say. ", Abeer laughed and Mia joined him too.

Damian's fingertips gently brushed across Stella's cheeks, his knuckles caressing her soft skin with a delicate touch.

The air was filled with a sense of intimacy, as if time itself had slowed down to savor this fleeting connection between them.

Stella, with closed eyes and a serene expression, leaned into Damian's touch, feeling the warmth of his hand against her face.

It was as if every stroke of his fingers carried a message of affection, speaking volumes without the need for words.

With her head nestled on Damian's chest, Stella could feel the steady rhythm of his heartbeat beneath her ear.

The sound was a comforting backdrop, a soothing lullaby that seemed to resonate with the peacefulness of the moment.

Damian's embrace wrapped around her in a protective cocoon, making her feel safe and cherished.

As he continued to caress her cheeks, his touch exuded a tenderness that made her heart flutter.

Stella's breaths were calm and even, synchronized with Damian's heartbeat, creating a beautiful harmony that symbolized their connection.

In this quiet embrace, there was an unspoken language of love and comfort.

Damian's fingers, now intertwined with Stella's hair, traced delicate patterns on her skin, igniting a trail of sensations that sent shivers down her spine.

Stella's fingers instinctively found solace in the fabric of Damian's shirt, holding onto him as if she never wanted to let go.

"How do you get to know about all this ,Damian? ",Stella questioned, looking into his eyes.

"When I found you seducing that kidnapper," Damian replied sharply.

"Umm...I didn't understand.",Stella confusingly looked at him.

"Your main door was opened when I entered that made me doubt as you never have habit of leaving it open for safety reasons and then when I heard you moaning , your voice caught my attention because whenever you moaned my name it was out of pleasure but that day it was out of pain and I could sense that easily. And last but not the least, when I was going out from there ,I saw Marcus standing there in my car mirror that cleared my doubt and I acted in front of everyone that I broke up with you to let them execute their plan.",Damian revealed .

"I can't believe Damian you fell in love with me to that extent.",Stella said surprisingly.

Her eyes welled up with tears due to being emotional as words could not come out from her mouth after witnessing his intensity of love.

"So what do you think ? I will leave my soul mate that easily when she needs me the most. Hmm?"Damian questioned, gazing at her eyes.

"So you faked everything ? Why didn't you tell me about all this earlier ? Do you have any idea how much I cried during that duration ?",Stella complained.

"I wanted to tell you too, babes. But I don't want the kidnappers to give any clue about my presence so I had to stay away from you deliberately .",Damian confessed hesitantly .

Their eyes locked in a magnetic gaze that seemed to bridge the gap between them.

Stella reached out and cupped Damian's cheek, her touch a silent declaration of the love that had blossomed between them.

In that suspended moment, the world outside ceased to matter; it was just the two of them, their connection palpable.

With a soft, deliberate movement, Stella leaned in, her lips meeting Damian's in a kiss that conveyed all the unspoken feelings they had harbored.

The depth of her love was in every brush of their lips, a promise of togetherness and an affirmation of their bond.

"Promise me that you will love me like this forever ?",Stella questioned ,breaking the kiss.

"I promise my love. I'll be with you whenever you will fall ,I will be beside you to give my hands to you but only after laughing at you.",Damian promised, teasing her which made Stella laugh at his reply.
