Lale's PoV:-
It has been an hour or  2 that we have reached here at the party. It's really beautiful in here . Everyone is wearing expensive clothes . Mr and Mrs Halit are looking very happy .

I'm standing beside Emir clinching his arm all the time to my dear life . I'm scared as it all new to me, I don't want to become a victim of another hungry eyes.

Currently Emir is talking to one of his busniess associate and I'm simply looking around , I was admiring the glass decoration when a certain figure caught my eyes. I squint my eyes to see clearly and when figure move in the light , my eyes grew wide when I see her, Yasmeen. What is she doing here?

She gave a wicked smile before taking a drink from the try and start walking towards us all the while her eyes glued on me . My posture become more stiff, and I think Emir noticed it and follow my gaze towards her. He also become shocked to see her. Yasmeen reached us and stand beside Emir

"Hello love birds. Hope I didn't disturbed you guyz. How are you Emir and my dear Cousin". She walk towrds me and greeted me with a hug . Then she move towards Emir and link her arm with his.

I saw Emir clinched his jaw and fisting his hands but because we were standingwith some people he din't react or show his irritation rather smile and continue his talk .

How did she know we are here? Did Emir call her ? Is it a new game of them? I know she means truble . There must be something horrible cooking in her Satan mind . I have to be careful of her.

It's like Emir read my mind and asked her
"What are doing here Yasmeen as far as I know Mr Halit have no good relation with you or you came here as a bounce guest" ouch that must her ego because I saw her eyes turning in to blazing fire.

"Ohh Emir your so funny . Don't you remember I own a boutique and Mrs Halit is my regular Clint and just like that she invited me" she said dramatically flipping her hair over her shoulder.

"Ya! Sila's boutique because last time I know it was and is own by my sister" okay this new to me that means Yasmeen is just employ. Sila is the real owner. Wow just wow.

Her mouth went shut. Emir definitely knows how to make someone shut.

I look at her attire and as expected she is wearing a revealing dress which hug her body and prominent her curves perfectly.

I took a sigh of relief when the men excused themselves and Emir shrug off Yasmeen's arm because I was really feeling jealous and want to smack her face .

Why do you care?
I don't know?
You know but you are on denile.
What I know?
That you love him you stupid
I don't love him
Keep saying that and fool yourself.

I was so engrossed in  arguing with my subconscious that I didn't realised that Emir is know standing in front of me and shaking me from my shoulders.

"Lale you fine. What are you thinking?"

"Am Nothing. I..I'm fine"

"Ohh Emir it's her first party she should be scared or nervous . Look at her face ot look like she has seen some ghost. Hahaha Lale you need a drink . Here drink it " Yasmeen said mockingly

"No she won't drink . Lale why don't you sit over there and wait for me . I'll be there in a minute"

"Okay " without waiting for any reply I walk towards the plush sofa and settled on it. Soft music in the background and alot of couples including Mr and Mrs Halit were also  dancing. 

It look so romantic . Unknowingly my gaze went to Emir. He is looking so handsome as usuall in his signature black clothes.

I don't know why but there is this feeling which said he is doing eveything because he is confused and don't want to accept the reality.I have seen emptiness and pain in his eyes which were begging for love.

At this point I realised I'm in love with the Devil My Devil.  I'll not leave him at any cost and try to mend my relation with him.

My chain of thought broke when a waiter call me

"Mam . This is for you"

"Sorry I don't drink "

"That sir over there told me to serve you"
he point towards Emir and said.

"Okay Thankyou"

I took the drink and take a small sip and to my surprise it is orange juice . Ultimately a smile came on my lips and my cheeks start to heated up. I'm sure I'm blushing but thanx to dim light nobody noticed.

I start to drink and I kinda like the test of it.
As soon as I finish it , my head start to hurt

"Oww.. What the. Uff where is the washroom"I stood which was a bad idea because as soon as I stood up , I stumble on my feet. It was like I'm flying in the air. I started to walk God knows where.

I bumped in to people and they glared at me some even see me with disgusting look. Ignoring them I walk further at the corner and there I saw a beautiful pool . I got excited and started to smile like a 5 year old kid .

I giggled and start walking towards towards it and stand at the edge of it. I start admiring my reflexation in the water.

*SPLASH *

It happened so fast one minute I was standing on the ground and another minute I'm drowning to death.

I try to shout for help but it look like I don't have any energy left . My body is become numb but I try to see my culprit's face but I just got a glimpse of her dress Yasmeen.

I start to thrush my hand and leg try to swim. I try to shout but wheneverI open my mouth water come inside.

Ya Allah is it how I'm going to die . No one will come to know my whereabouts because it is a deserted area. I let loose myself and start to close my eyes because I know it's my end.

Emir's POV:-

I was talking to a investor. When I saw Lale walking more like stumbling . She was walking towards the poolside. 

Something was wrong with her posture.

I become alarm and quickly excusing myself and walk behind her .

I'm observing her behaviour all the time and to my surprise she didn't behave like it was told. Rather she was scared and never left my side . She was clinching my arm to her dear life like I would leave her alone or something.

When ever I introduced her to some busniess associate she will politely answer them. It was getting everything cleared that what ever information I get is wrong someone is trying to play with our lives .

My doubt clear more when Yaseem knowingly or unknowingly said that it's Lale's first party. I mean if its her first time attending the party then how the hell she'll know or recognize anyone and try to seduce them.

Shaking my head I focused on Lale and  I saw her standing at the edge of pool and giggling like a child . She was behaving like kid who got her favourite candy. I was about to reach when my phone start to ring. I check the caller and It' Mehmet.

I totally forget about him. I pick his call but due to some network problem I have to move to other side. When I get the connection I start to talk.

"Speak Mehmet.  Hope you've everything"

"Yeah boss I've everything and you will be surprised when you read it but unfortunately I'll not be able to come personally to you there as we have some problem come up with one of holders"

"What problem Mehmet talk clearly"

"Sir It's like someone is spying on us. As one of our project file is missing and also one of the investor refused to invest in our project . He said someone else has offer him more profit with less investment and it's alot better then us" by the time he finished my body shook in anger . Someone is out there trying to destroying us.

"Did dad knows. And why didn't you said that to me before ?" I said as calmly as possible as I don't want to creat a scene here and make my reputation worse.

"Yes he knows and he is working on it. Actually it was his idea to not tell as you are with Mam and enjoying your time."

"Enjoying my foot . I'm coming right away and yeah send me all information through e-mail"

"Sir..but...Sir" without listening to him I cut the call.  I was trying to control my breath when I suddenly here a shriek.  It was Lale.

"Shit! LALE." I run towards the pool side  and saw her drowning in the water. Without waiting for another second I jump in to water and pull her by her waist. I swim both of us to the edge  of the pool. She is already  unconscious, her breathing is slow.

"Lale...Lale.. Damn it. Lale open your eyes" when she didn't respond I quickly give push to her stomach and chest and did CPR.

"Lale .. Lale wake up" suddenly she start coughing loudly and a lot of water come inside of her mouth. She took a harsh breath and look at me .

"Em..ir..Em..ir...cough..cough..Yas..meen..she...pus...hed...me.."

"What Lale are you sure "

"Ye..ss.. cough..Yess"

"Okay okay we are going right know. I'll take care of her." I quickly put my suit jacket on her and took her in my arms and walk towards our boat.

Everyone was so engrossed in the party to notice the disaster. I want to say goodbye properly to the host of the party but right know Lale is my first priority.

I swiftly reach the dock and with the help of the helper boy I got in to the boat and walk towards the room . It is night time and the air is cold . It might make Lale sick because she is wet from head to toe.

I put her on the bed and was about to pull my arms from her.

"No ...no... please..plea..se.. don't leave me she will...ki..ll m.e. Em..ir th..ey a..re v.e.ry be..d th..ey hur..t m..e alo..t plea..se don't lea..ve plea...se I be
.g yo.u" she said crying badly while tightening her hold on my neck and burying her in my chest.

"Shh Lale it's okay no one is going to hurt you . Shh calm down" I took her in my arms and cradle her. She start crying, sobbing loudly.

After some time when she calm down I pull her from my arms and stroke her cheeks.

"Stop crying okay. No one is going to hurt you . Now get up change the dress before you catch the cold"

"But I don't have a dress"

"It's okay here wear my clothes . I always have extra clothes with me." With that she walk towrads the washroom.

Ones she was out of the sight I quickly got up and walk towards the mini bar and got a bottle of drink. Filling the glass I stand to take slow sips so that it can calm my nerves . I badly need a drink right know to clear the mess in my head. 

(Ps: Drinking is forbidden in Islam . It's Haram.)

I was about to take a another sip when my mobile buzz with notification.  I pull out and saw the e-mail. Time to find the real truth.
