2 1- HARMLESS
Luke woke up with a beam of light coming from the window. He barely had a half hour sleep. It was rare for him to sleep and was quite tired after the last night, he had to deal with a lot. He saw the clock, and it was 6 in the morning. He had to go at 9, still had 3 hours. Moving slowly toward his wardrobe and selecting his tracksuit out of many. He went outside, from his mansion along with his 4 companions following him in his Infiniti Qx60
..
This side of the forest was always calm and quiet. Anyone barely visited this area. This was one of his most favourite places, his days always started with jogging in this area. It gave him peace, his life was always in such a hustle he rarely had time for something Important as peace.
..
He saw something near the side of the lake. "What is that?" He pulled out his gun as he walked toward it. As he got near it, he came to know it was a body. Is the person dead? He cautiously got near it and saw it was a girl. She was in a pitiful condition. Soaked in mud and blood.
"
Is she dead?"
He held his hand close to her nose and felt she was still breathing. But her breathing was hard and slow.
He glanced at her again and felt a wave of something in his chest. "Huhn! Pity !! " he thought, looking at her.
"she is none of your business," His mind said. "Do I leave her like this?"
"What the hell is wrong with me, she is none of my business."
As he took a few steps further and unintentionally, he looked back at her.
She was lying there, nearly dead, slowly breathing the life out of her.
"I can't .. I won't" he finally decided to turn back and lifted her in his strong arms.
She was weightless, he carried her like a baby and looked at her face. She was badly injured; she had a lot of bruises around her mouth and a dark patch under her eye. Blood was dried on her forehead and under her nose too. Her right cheek had a big mark too.
He looked at her once more and then walked straight to his car
A man in a black suit ran toward him as soon as he saw him coming back
" Sir !! " he gestured to allow him to carry the girl.
"Open the door Mathew! " he nodded in negative.
"Yes, sir !"
He opened the door of his car, and he laid her inside. Sitting on the front seat, he ordered
" drive home !! "
He took out his phone and dialled a number.
"Tell Dr Brown to be at my place."
He glanced at her again, and she was still the same. Lying harmlessly. He looked straight at the road and went in deep thinking.

This was the 6th day of her in his house, and she won't wake up. It started on her 3rd day, and she mumbled when the doctor was checking her.
"Nn...oo.... pap..aa.... pl..ease... mom.myyy....nn..ooo"
"It's okay little girl, it is okay!!" DR. Brown said, soothing her a bit.
....
"Luke !! She is in bad condition. I was able to save her, but I'm not sure when she is going to wake up. Call me if you need me. I'll be back tomorrow morning to check her."
He nodded in response. As the doctor left, he took out his phone and called someone
"Blake! Did you get him? "
"Not yet. Our team is working on it" Blake replied with a tensed tone.
"I NEED THAT BASTARD !! " he groaned with a loud voice.
"U need to calm down Luke. We will get to him soon. He won't get away."
"FINE" he snapped. And ended the call. Blake was his friend and his business partner too.
He moved toward the kitchen and got a glass full of his drink. He thought about the girl and walked back to his room. He sat beside the bed and saw her keenly. She was the first woman to ever lay in his bed. The first woman ever to enter his room.
He observed her. She had very long hair. Longest hair he had ever seen and they gave a shade of rust. Her main hair was black with rust-red shade. Her eyelashes were long. Very long. Casting a shadow on her cheeks. She was weak, nearly starved. It seemed like she would break like a twig if held harshly... She looked like a dead plastic doll. Pale and skinny, the only colour on her face was her lips, they were full and red. She looked like she was made of glass.
He continued drinking and smoking until he fell asleep.

..
He woke up with loud shouting and yelling noise. He got his gun and with a jerk got up from his chair and aimed at her.
She was getting hysteric. Her eyes were closed, and she was shouting and yelling.
"Helpppp...pp ..... NOOOOO... NOOOOO..get away from me..... aaaaaaa."
She was yelling on top of her lungs, and he stood there paused for a few seconds. He got near her jerked her from her shoulders
"Hey! Wake up !!! "
"Please.. don't touch me... kill me...please... noooo .. please noo....."
She didn't open her eyes. She was shouting and asking for help. Tears pooling down her eyes, .and she shouted until her voice croaked.
He took out his phone and called Dr Brown. Luke did not understand what to do. He was just waiting for the doctor to reach.
The doctor reached there within 15 minutes, and she was panting when he got in the room. He gave her an injection and examined her properly...
Luke sat on the couch and saw her calming down. He was a mafia king. He never felt pity or bad for anyone. He never had a soft corner in his heart. He was known for his cruelty. He was ruling the mafia at the age of 29. Yet he couldn't understand the reason why he brought her here. Why couldn't he leave her in the forest?
"Mr Luke," said a maid in white uniform
"Yes, Linda?" He said coldly
"Sir! Mr Levi is here" she said with a lowered head.
He nodded and waved her off. As soon as she left. He got up and went out of his room, closing the door and looking at her one last time.
"Here pretty boy." Said Levi in a chirped voice
"What do u want Levi," he said in an irritating tone.
"Ouch! I'll wait for the day you'll be nice to me Bone head" Levi faked a hurt expression.
"Don't hurt your feelings, princess?" Luke said in a sarcastic tone
"Double ouch!" Levi pouted.
"Come to the business Levi," he said in a cold tone.
"No business today, my boy. I'm here for dinner."
"Levi !!" He said in a clipped tone
"Fine fine! It's good news. We got the package" Levi said proudly.
.
"Lost any men?" He asked himself a glass of his drink and one for Levi.
"Not a single one. It was a hell of a fight. But eventually, we won. As expected," Levi boasted.
"Hmmm," he handed him the glass and sat in front of him in the Tv lounge.
"What about the rat, Lu? Did we get him? Levi asked
"Not yet. Blake and team are on it." He said,
" What are u gonna do about the Lord?" Levi looked at him
"Humph! As much as I want to rip his bones apart. I'll wait for the right time. Just one mistake and he will regret the day he was born."
"It is not that easy, Lu! " Levi said, holding some words back.
"Don't make it sound like a challenge Levi. You know what I am. If it wasn't for my dad. I would have killed that bastard already. I just need one mistake from him."
"Okay okay. U need to give yourself a break sometimes Lu. Too much stress is bad for your skin" he said with a sarcastic grin.
"Fuck off, dude!" Luke groaned
"Where were you this morning? You didn't come to the hotel." Levi asked, looking at him deeply.
"I had some business to take care of" he ignored his looks.
"Well, okay !! Linda made me a lasagna, so I'm staying till dinner."
He nodded his head and turned his face towards the Tv. Thinking about something.
