"This is all you want isn't it? You want to be with me so this is your price you need to pay to be mine. See I want you to be mine no else. I don't want anyone to come in between us not even your parents…"

"No, no, please no" Harley tried to break free from the tight grip of a man but no matter how hard she tried her effort went in vein.

I have told you this right "You have put yourself onto it so be aware you will be the one to pay a price for it and see it's happening you are going to pay him with your parents my little daughter take care of yourself."

Suddenly huge echo of devilish laughter echoed on Harley's ear and all she could see was body's lying on the ground with red strangling marks on their neck.

"Ah…" Harley woke up and screamed. She got more scared seeing no one around. She ran towards the washroom and hide herself behind the door.

The nurse who had just joined the shift checked around but when she was not able to find her she panicked and called Carlos.

🌺🌺🌺

Carlos who had fallen asleep lying on his computer desk heard his phone ringing somewhere. He got up and rubbing his eyes tried to remember about the previous night. Late night he searched for Harley and her connection between the Prince in different scandal news but he was not able to find any of it.

His phone which has stopped ringing a while ago rang again. He looked around and saw his phone on his bed.

Tucking the phone on his ear he walked to the balcony to get the fresh morning air.

"Hello" he said yawing out.

"Dr. Carlos the patient in the room next to your cabin is missing"

Nurse words made Carlos stand still "did Her Majesty took her away already..." he thought deep inside and felt chills running through his body.

"Did you check everywhere?" he asked to be assured that he had heard the right thing.

"Yes, sir we searched for her everywhere but she is not in the hospital" nurse's reply give more chills to Carlos.

He hurriedly collected the keys and drove towards hospital.

"Where could she go? Did her memory came back so she ran away? Or did Her Majesty took her without giving any notice to hospital" so many questions were crossing his mind.

Finally when he got out of the car he ran inside the hospital.

"Dr. Carlos seems to have too much emergency these days see today he didn't got to change his pajamas also" the security standing on the gate told his friend showing Carlos who was now already inside the lift.

"Where did you check her?" asked Carlos.

"Garden, trace, wards, kitchen, everywhere" replied nurse.

"Did you check her washroom?"

Nursed nodded her head briskly and replied "yeah she was not there either."

Knowing the answer still Carlos wanted to ensure it. So he walked inside the room and slowly stepped towards the washroom. He pushed the door open and looked inside she was not there.

He closed back the door but he heard something. He kept his ear on the door and tried to listen. Slow sob of someone was coming from behind the door. He slowly pushed the door and pooped his head behind the door. There she was sitting at the corner with her knees close to her chest and face buried on her lap.

"Harley…" he called out but see didn't replied neither lifted her head to look at him.

Carlos walked inside and crouched in front of her. He slowly placed his hand on her shoulder but she jolted out and began to mumble something in panic.

"He killed them… he killed them… he killed them…"

"Harley look at me it's me Carlos… look at me."

She lifted her head and seeing him muttered "Carlos he killed them he killed them Carlos…" she then being to sob out loud screaming.

"Calm down Harley Calm down…"

"Carlos he will kill everyone he will kill everyone please do something" she said gripping his arms.

No matter how hard he tried but he was totally not able to persuade her. At last he gripped her arms and pulled her towards him. Her face landed on his warm chest and hugged her tight "sh… no one is going to kill anyone. I am here for you calm down."

She finally stopped mumbling and started to breath heavily. He gently stroked her hair with affection. He then pulled her up and walked out of the washroom with her.

He made her sit on the bed and gave her a glass of water. Harley silently took the water and gulped it at once. She was not lifting her head and meeting Carlos's eyes.

"Feeling better?" asked Carlos sitting on the chair right next to the bed.

She just nodded her head.

"So tell me did you remember anything about yourself?" asked Carlos.

She shook her head right to left.

"Then why were you so much in panic?" asked Carols.

"Because I… I saw a dream…" stammered Harley still with her head down.

"First…" he gently gripped her chin and lifted it "look at me and tell me what you saw in your dream…?"

"I…" Harley again lowered her head.

"Harley look at me see for you I came to hospital in pajamas which I have never ever done before. So you can trust me and I bet no man is going to run for you in his pajamas" said Carlos trying to cheer her up.

Harley's lips curled a little seeing it Carlos said "oh! My God I think I got my lucky champ today someone is smiling at my bad jokes. But seriously never in my life I have run in my pajamas for anyone not even in emergency."

"I… I am sorry I didn't mean to… I was just scared" finally Harley spoke out some sentence and Carlos's heart melt listening to her melodious voice.

"You don't have to be sorry now tell me about your dream…"
