1 Prologue

The young woman sighed at her fate, she stared from the window to the raging storm taking place in her town, a light chatter passed in the shop, looking over her shoulder she stared at the small but delish pastries kept in the glass container.

Walking her way to the bill counter, she gently knocked on the table to gain the man's attention who seemed to be engaged with his phone. The man looked up from his device and stared at the lady in front, his jaw dropped a bit and gaped at the lady.

"How may I help you, ma'am? " The man spoke up, recovering his state rather quickly.

"Please pack these two pastries for me, thank you. " The lady said while pointing them out with her index finger.

"Sure ma'am. " The man straight away carried the task and packed them in a neat and clean way.

While returning to attend another customer, he couldn't help but glance at the lady standing by the glass door. Sighing every now and then while looking at the weather.

He did not wonder why though, the lady looked well educated and an amiable one. He understood that the weather had a drastic change today which was quite unexpected in the town, confining the woman from stepping outside.

The young woman turned around and again saunterd her way to the counter, picking the bag with ease and shuffled it to her left hand. She merely glanced at the bill and took out those clean and crisp dollar bills and placed it over the counter.

"Keep the change" She showed a small smile to the cashier.

The man nodded and politely thanked her.

Noticing the pause in the chatters, she hurriedly took out her mobile phone.

Unknown number.

She picked the phone nevertheless and spoke in a polite voice.

"Hello?"

"Hello, can I speak to miss Wright?"

A gruff male voice spoke.

"That is me, sir. How can I help you?"

She wondered whether this was one of her new case callers or just a random salesman who wiggled his way in finding her number and name.

"I'm Mr.Reynolds,you probably know me?"

The gruff voice spoke.

"Sorry, sir but I know a lot of Mr. Reynolds. Can you tell me your full name or any info which may help me to recognise you?"

The young lady said.

"Aha... My full name is- Ryan Reynolds, ma'am. This may surely help you. "

The lady stood stumped hearing the name, her bambi eyes widened. She took a few deep breathes and resumed her conversation with the not-so-unfamilliar stranger.

"Now, is the time for your pay back, Miss Wright. Hope to see you soon."

The man said, chuckling at the end and hung up the phone.

The phone slowly slid away from her ear. Her lower lip quivered slightly, for the first time in her life she feared something or maybe someone...
