Hire one

I was in a shock. She had never told me to move out. We were already close like sisters. I asked her, "Why? I mean I can increase the pay if you want, but how can I find a place like this." She said, "I don't care. Just leave. I will give you a week's time." I just said, "Okay, but without reason I am not going to leave. So, tell me the reason." She did not look at me and replied, "How shameless are you? After seducing my husband, you still want to stay here? Are you going to be his mistress now?"

I was confused, sad and angry at the same time when she said that. I said, "I don't know what you are talking about and you also know that I am not seducing your husband." She finally took a long breath and turned to me and grabbed my shoulder lightly and said, "I know, I am sorry. But... but since the day he saw you, he talks about you a lot. He also asks a lot of questions about you. I guess he likes you. I do not want this. Please save my marriage and go away from here."

I did not know what to say. I just said, "Okay." The next day, I took a break and went for a room hunt again. Andrew called me. I had told him what happened. So, I picked his call and he said, "I have found a room for you, lovey. Let's meet where you have been staying, you can pack right now and move. You do not need to stay there anymore." I wanted to check the room first but I trusted him so I agreed. I had already packed and I bid farewell to the landlady. I hugged her and said, "Thank you for everything. I will miss you." She had tears in her eyes but she did not cry. She said nothing and I went with Andrew.

I did not have many things, so Andrew took the packed things like bedsheets and blankets and I had my back pack and luggage. He said it was a thirty minute walk from here and 15 min walk from college, so we took a cab. We finalized the room as it was good. I kept my things and Andrew said, "Welcome, neighbor." I asked confused, "What? Neighbor?" He smiled and said, "The room opposite to yours is mine, if you need anything then tell me, okay lovey?" He winked. I had never been to his place, only he came to mine. Now we were neighbors. Since that day, we had food together almost every day. We almost spent the whole day together.

JOHN'S P.O.V.

I hope the information I collected is suffice for him. I knocked the door and went in after his approval. I said him all the information I collected like where she lived, where she studied and even that she got bullied and she ran away from home also. He asked, "What about her relation with that another guy?" I told him, "They are best friends. But it somewhat looks more than friendship, because now they even live in the same building and they spent whole day together." As usual he did not give any expression even after hearing this. So, just when I was about to leave he said, "John." I turned to him. He said, "Find a private detective for me. I want every information. Hire a girl. I have to know about her whereabouts." I did not know why he told that but agreed his order and hired one immediately.

Your boyfriend is rich

SARAH'S P.O.V.

I was happy because I got such an amazing friend like Andrew. He's my college mate, bench mate, colleague and also a neighbor. We were of similar status. I felt happy every time I was with him. He never made me feel sad and I had already trusted him lot. We graduated together. We were the ones for each other even on the graduation day. We took our next step to our career. I became an attorney and he became a prosecutor. We discussed our cases together also sometimes. I had been winning all the cases since I became a lawyer although it was just a month. He also won almost all the cases.

ANDREW'S P.O.V.

I was really excited when she became my neighbor. After I left her things and went to my room. I was lying on my bed and I was talking in my mind. I am really happy to get a friend like Sarah. I know she does not trust any boys after what happened to her in the past, but she made me her best friend. I was always happy around her. The day when she fainted, I was so worried. I felt that day that I felt more for her, more than just friendship. But I am always afraid that I will lose her once I confess her my feelings. I know that she always thought me as a friend. She trusted me a lot. But I am not worth her trust. I have lots of secrets hidden with me. I do not have any confidence to tell her but I know I have to tell her one day and I guess that day will be the saddest day in my life. I have lied to her so much that I just do not know whether she will forgive me or not. I just hope she will. I will never confess her my feelings. I want to see her happy.

SARAH'S P.O.V.

One day, I was walking home alone from the court. When I reached a narrow path, someone put their hand on my mouth and covered it. I was terrified and then I struggled but soon I fainted. When I woke up, my hands were tied to the chair and legs were tied together. My mouth and eyes were covered by a cloth. I struggled. I heard footsteps approaching me. It was a man because he spoke, "So, my money attractor, you have finally woke up." I was still struggling and they opened the cloth on my eyes. I had never seen that man.

The place was dark and shabby. There were two more people. All three of them looked scary. I was struggling a lot to be freed, but the more I struggled, the more I was getting hurt. I tried to make sound but it was just like a murmuring sound. All three of them laughed with their scary laughs. They were enjoying, looking that I was struggling. So, I finally stayed still. Maybe because I had already gone through a lot, I was not crying but deep inside I was filled with terror. I did not know who they were and what they wanted. Seeing that I stayed still, one of them opened the cloth that covered my mouth. As soon as they took out the cloth, I screamed with all my energy, "Help..." They all laughed again. The one who looked like the main said, "No matter how much you scream, no one will hear you."

I finally asked them, "Who are you all? What do you want from me?" The main leader laughed and said, "You do not need to know who we are. Just be a good girl and sit there." I again said, "I am not rich. I do not even have money, what will you get by kidnapping me? Did someone let you do this? Do you want me to fight a case for you?" I asked every possible questions. They all laughed again devilishly.

The main leader said, "We all know you are not rich. But your boyfriend is rich, so that's enough for us. As soon as he hears that you are kidnapped, we will get money and you will be freed." I laughed after hearing what they said. I laughed so badly that maybe they thought I was crazy. So, I said, "I guess you got a wrong person here. Firstly, I do not have a boyfriend and secondly I do not know any rich person. So, let me go. You will not gain anything by keeping me here." Only I knew how I managed to laugh even in that situation when I was so scared. The main lead laughed again. He said, "You do not need to lie to us. We are not so careless to kidnap any person without checking everything. We have got the right person. So, just pretend to be pitiful and scared when I call your boyfriend." I was scared, but the question was killing me that even if they had a background check who is the rich person they were talking about. I was not being able to think anything.
