Chapter 10 - Naive Bird Is Flying!

Third Person's POV:

Sapphire felt like a free bird. She shifted to her apartment.

Already got admitted into a new university, where she wanted to study microbiology.

She came to Sydney kinda without anything. Just her money, passport, some necessary documents, and medical file.

Her one-room studio apartment was cozy. She bought a mattress, a table, a chair for her.

She decided not to make any friend anymore. It hurt when she had to cut all her ties.

She contacted her uncle that she was alright and everything was fine.

As she didn't have any refrigerator, it was quite difficult for her to preserve food. Most of the time she cooked instant food or ordered food.

A month slowly passed by. She got her room in the university dorm sooner than she thought.

She had to share the room with another student. The Dorm cafeteria food was quite okay. She began to adjust to the new life of her university in Australia.

Her roommate Kelly, was a jolly type of girl, quite friendly. But Sapphire didn't want to befriend her, so she kept distance trying not to be rude.

What she got to know about her was, she was also originally from the US, Chicago. But his family settled in Australia. But still, his father has businesses in America.

"Sapphire, would you like to go shopping with me this Saturday? Actually, I had to buy gifts for my niece for her upcoming birthday. She is gonna be one. But I am not quite good at choosing gifts. Can you?"

"Kelly, I just don't feel like. Ask somebody.. ".

"Please, Sapphire. Help me just this once." Kelly pleaded.

"Okay. But I don't want to spend too much time shopping. "

"Thanks."

Both of them went shopping on Saturday morning.

Sapphire felt good to go with her. After all, she liked children, so she liked choosing gifts for her niece.

Kelly insisted on treating her in Starbucks for coming with her. Sapphire told her it was not necessary at all. But she insisted.

They both entered Starbucks but Sapphire bumped into somebody. She looked up and apologized immediately and turned to go.

But that person suddenly pulled her arm.

"Are you Sapphire Atkinson?" He asked Sapphire.

Sapphire looked at him and then at her arm as he was still holding it.

Sensing the impoliteness, he said sorry and let go.

Sapphire lied to him, "No, Who is Sapphire? I am not. You may get the wrong person."

She hoped that he wasn't somebody from America, Alexander's man.

"Then what's your name?" He asked again.

"Hey. I bumped with you and for this already said sorry. Why are you trying to know my name? After that don't tell me you will want my phone number? " Sapphire told in an irritation mixed tone.

Kelly was standing beside her with a confused expression in her face, as she couldn't get what was going on. She didn't understand who the man was and why Sapphire lied.

"I see you are her friend. What's her name? It's Sapphire?" Suddenly the man asked Kelly.

Without being able to understand what to say, Kelly looked at Sapphire.

"Ye--No. Um-m. Her name is not Sapphire. And who are you mister? why bothering us? Want us to call the security? " Kelly said over dramatically.

"Oh. Cool ladies cool. I am sorry." Stretching his both hands up in defeat, he left from there.

"Thanks for this, "Sapphire thanked Kelly.

"Anytime." Kelly smiled.

After eating and a bit chit-chatting, they came out of the mall.

They were walking suddenly a guy in mask snatched Sapphire's hand back and disappeared in the crowd.

He was too quick for them to react.

They went back to the dorm, Kelly apologized to Sapphire for losing her bag. Sapphire said it was okay, It's not her fault.

But it seemed quite strange to Sapphire, bumping into a stranger, how he knew her name, suddenly her bad got hijacked.

All these events were not scattered pieces, might be connected with dots straight.

Two days later in Rodriguez Mansion :

Alexander had almost gone insane. He has become a beast.

None ever had seen him this furious before.

He was cruel, ruthless.

But now his ruthlessness, cruelty were making everyone gasp in horror. He was killing people, punishing people for little things now.

People around him started to get scared for their lives. If he continued in this way then soon everyone would be killed by him.

He had all his men search for Sapphire. In every state of America had been searched by him. After ransacking Sapphire's whole apartment he found nothing that could give any damn clue.

He even searched in London. In his torture cell, he was torturing his traitors to death, to relieve his tension, stress.

He swore to himself that when he will get back Sapphire, he would shackle her, giving her a good punishment so that she feel afraid even to think about escaping again.

He was in his study, after killing a traitor. Suddenly his phone rang.

"Sir, I am Cody."

"Whatever you are, why have you called?" Alexander barked.

"Sir, I already have done done what you ordered to do regarding the Melbourne Diamond deals, " Cody mentioned.

"Okay. Then come to show me the samples and anything else?" Alexander was about to hang up.

"Sir, Sir. Please don't hang up now. I have a very important thing to discuss." Cody spoke.

"Tell me when you will come to meet."

"Sir, It's about Ms. Sapphire. I think I have seen her in Sydney." Cody said.

"WHAT?! What evidence do you have?"Alexander yelled, he was excited suddenly.

He felt a rush of adrenaline in his body.

"Sir, I have her Id card. If you permit me then, I can come to your mansion and show it to you."

"Okay. Come. But remember if you are trying to waste my time, you will see the hell!" Alexander hung up.

One hour later

"Sir, check this, please. I think this will be enough to prove that she is in Australia right now."

Cody handed Alexander Sapphire's University ID card, her dorm card and some coupons of the cafeteria.

Alexander's lips curled into a smile and he felt satisfied knowing that his angel was safe. He knows now where she is. He will get her NOW.

"Cody, you have done a good job. From now on I am giving you the responsibility of this Australia diamond project. You will alone get 40% of the profits from this deal." Alexander stated.

"Thank you, Sir."

Alexander called Jeff and told him to get ready his personal jet ready.

"I am getting my Queen back." He shouted in overjoy.

"Enough of your flying, naive bird, now I am coming to cage you in my golden cage." Alexander thought evilly.

Two Days Later in Sydney

Sapphire was in her dorm. After studying, she was resting in her bed.

Suddenly her phone rang.

"Hello, is this Sapphires Atkinson?"

"Yes. Who is this?"

"I am Jarred Hale. Actually, I have found a handbag lying before my cafe trash bin. Opening the bag, I found your ID card and some other cards. I think it was hijacked?" A person said from the other side.

"Yeah. 2 days ago, it was hijacked."

"I think it's necessary. You can come and take it from 'Luminous Cafe'. It's my cafe. Actually don't mind I am quite busy so I won't be able to meet any other place to give you the bag."

"No, it's alright. I can understand. Can I come tomorrow morning?"

"Okay."

Sapphire thought it was pretty strange, why the hijacker would throw the bag in the trash bin of the cafe.

The next morning she got out of her campus to go to the cafe. The cafe was near the mall. While walking she felt someone was following her. She stopped for a moment and turned around to see. But no one was there.

She started walking, again sensed that following. But this time, she felt not one, three or four people were following her. She stopped and then with a quick run disappeared into a crowd.

She started walking again and through an alley, she was going, to take a shortcut.

Suddenly four heavily built guys surrounded her. She got nervous seeing this bulky figures. She was like a match stick comparing with them.

One of them held her hand but retreated getting a punch from her. Another one of them came to grab her both hands, while she kicked him in his stomach. They cursed. One of them pulled her hair then others warned him, "Don't hurt her, if the boss gets to know, we are dead."

He immediately released her. With punching and kicking, she made them miserable. But soon she was tired too. Because all of them were big and well trained. She was panting heavily.

She ran from there and stood behind a wall breathing heavily. But a big palm clasped her mouth and a hand encircled her waist from behind. Then before her comprehending anything, a hand pressed a fabric in her mouth and nose. Soon she found herself loosing consciousness.

"Enough my angel, give up now. It's time you come in my arms forever." She heard a very familiar manly voice saying before going into a deep slumber. And She felt a light kiss in her temple.

It was Alexander. He carried her to his car in a bridal style.

"Sir, she will be up after a bit. The amount of chloroform we used was very little. Soon, she will wake up before reaching the US."

"I have a perfect plan for my Queen."

"Sir, are you gonna drug Mam?"

"Yes. For the first time and last time" saying this Alexander gently plunged an injection needle in her arm and then massaged the area.

"Get the jet ready, again. For my Queen, everything must be ready, clean and in order." He commanded his men.

"Yes, Sir." with this they went to check out for the Jet.

Alexander removed the loose strands of Sapphire's hair that was lying on her eyes. He caressed from her face to neck, with his fingertip. He couldn't help being infatuated by her beauty again and again. He placed a kiss on her lips.

"Who will say lying here, this girl is actually my angry tigress?" he thought and laughed.

He was caressing her gently, but suddenly his anger took him over remembering how she resisted him, rejected him, promised him not to flee, but even then how she ran away from him. How she forced him to stay away from her, what he had gone through when she was away from him.

When he gets angry he becomes a beast. His beast was not agreed to forgive her. It swore to give her a good punishment.

His jaw clenched. Roughly manhandling her arms he said, " angel, its time to get punished." He grabbed her one wrist tightly and watching a pale red bruise he let it go, feeling satisfied.

In his Private jet, he laid Sapphire in a bed and watched her over lovingly.
