Aayana's POV -

The Police van faded away from my eyesight. I turn back and a bunch of journalists surround me.

"Ma'am. How's Ira Madam's condition? Will we get her back to us?" I frown at that journalist.

"Listen to your words. Are you asking to know about her health or her death?" I am louder than my usual tone.

"Sorry ma'am. I didn't mean that." He lowers his gaze.

"You better be sorry. Anyway, Iru is better now. She might take time to fully recover as the injury is deep." I try to sound as calm as I can.

"But what about the business?" Riad enters. I feel the blood boiling inside my veins. He takes off his sunglasses and stands in front of me. Who wears sunglasses at this time! But flashbacks of that night are hitting my eyesight.

"Sir, sir. Do you feel it will be the turning point for you to get back to your position as before?" These journalists are icing sugar now.

"Well, I don't need to take advantage of any situation. I have my talent." He is trying to show off.

"Ma'am. What do you think? How will Trend run during this situation?" These journalists know how to worsen a situation.

"Ira has her heir. She prepared her papers when she was planning to expand her business." Arif says and we turn to him.

"Who is the heir of this Billion Empire?" Whispering all over. By this time, the crowd is quite dense.

"She has no one. Who can be her heir?" Riad is again opening his bullshit mouth. But I think it's Iqra as she is only related to my Iru.

"Precisely, it's heiress, not heir," Arif explains and I become sure of my assumption.

"But who is that?" Riad is so curious. I can feel him. Due to this camera, I can't laugh too.

"She is here, in front of you. Aayana, Aayana Sheikh." I am shocked.

"What!" "Whatttt!!!" Riad and I reply together.

"Yes. She mentioned clearly in that document that if something happens to her Aayana will be the heir of her property." I can't believe it. I denied her and without my consent, she did this.

"Ma'am. What do you want to say about this?" Now, journalists are again on me.

"I was unaware of this. However, I respect her decision, and from now on till Ira recovers. I will be the acting CEO of TREND. I think it should be the end of the discussion. Thank you." I leave the spot as it can extend the conversation. I feel Riad is following me. I don't want any drama over here. Iqra and Arif are with me. We entered the hospital. This leg wound is killing me.

"So, why did you show off about being the acting CEO? If you want then I can make it permanent as well." Riad's statement shocked me.

"What do you mean by show off and permanent?" I want to do something for this man now. Already I am pissed off due to Akram Khan.

"Well, you can grab the permanent position by moving Ira. I don't think we need to kill her. Just another night with me is enough to keep her in trauma. Last time, you helped her. This time don't." I look at Arif as if he is unaware of this. I can't let him know.

"Will you just leave now?" I try to sound calm.

"Do you wanna go with me? I will try to be sober. I promise to give you something wild you ever have. You know what I mean right?" I lost myself and slapped him harder. He holds his cheek and looks at me with anger.

"You have to pay for this, Ms. Aayana." His eyes are red like blood.

"I won't pay for anything unworthy. You may leave now. Don't forget that you are standing on the property of Ira Khan." He leaves without saying anything.

"What did he say?" Arif asked me after he left.

"Nothing important. You know his jerkiness, right?" I hope I can avoid Arif's doubt.

"Okay. I have to leave now. It's midnight already." He says casually. So, he couldn't guess anything bad. He leaves, then we reach Iqra's cabin.

"Riad is turning into a big danger day by day," Iqra says with tension.

"Indeed he is. But we can tackle him. Please check on Iru. I can't go there now." She nods and leaves immediately to check on my love.

I take my phone and open Iru's picture. "Why did you do that, love? I am not so worthy to get your selfless love. Just get well soon and take back your position. I promise to love you more and more." I am gently rubbing my thumb on her picture.

"She is improving so fast. Her breathing is getting normal. The doctor might shift her to the cabin within an hour if she stays stable like this." Iqra is huffing and I become so happy. If she will be in the cabin then I can see her closely.

"Thank God. Let's wait outside then. I want to be there." I am so excited.

"You rest here for now. They will shift her by using an internal way. Once she is shifted I will take you there." Iqra leaves after that.

Again I look at the picture and rest my head on the sofa's channel. "Come back soon, my love."

"I am here for you, baby." She is here for real.

"How can you be here?" I am surprised.

"You want me then how can I stay away from you?" She is on me, one hand is on the sofa's channel and one leg is by my hip's side.

"I can't believe it." I try to sit but she gently makes me lie down on the sofa.

"I am here just trying to get some sleep, sweetheart." She sits with me. I feel her warmth. She is roaming her hand on my head. I fail to keep my eyes open and sleep off.

"Aayana..." A whisper is hitting my ear curtains. I feel someone roaming one hand on my arm. I open my eyes and it's Sana.

"How's Iru?" How can I sleep off when Iru is in a serious condition?

"Don't panic. She is fine. Just shifting her to the cabin. I am here to take you." I sat up immediately.

"Let's go." I try to put my legs to the ground but groan instead of that.

"Have some patience, please. You are not so well either. Not even Iqra." I knit my eyebrows.

"What happened to her? Is she okay?" I am worried for her now.

"You know that she is an ulcer patient. Maybe she didn't eat for a long time. Now she is having abdominal pain." Damn. The girl is really under the pressure of us.

"Please treat her." I look around to see if she is here.

"She is a doctor as well. So, don't worry about her." Sana holds me and we lead to the cabin. It's on a different floor. I enter the cabin. Iru is lying down in an unconscious condition. I get closer to her.

"Can I sit by her side?" I asked the nurse.

"Yes, ma'am. I adjusted the glucose flow. You stay. I will keep coming here." She leaves with a smile.

"You stay with her but make sure to rest on the sofa. Is that okay?" Sana assures.

"Yes, ma'am." I tease her.

"By the way, I sent your parents home. They were waiting outside during your sleep." She informs me and I nod.

"Okay, that was better. I need a CCTV service in this cabin which will be connected to my phone only." I tell her in a serious mood.

"Okay, I will talk to the administration. Technically, you are the CEO of this hospital as well." Sana smiles.

"That is different. I don't want to behave that way. Everything is hers." I feel so uncomfortable already.

"It's okay, I can understand. Okay, I will arrange everything before you go to the office in the morning." She pats my shoulder and leaves. I set my gaze on Iru. She has a nasal cannula on her pale face. I get a bit closer. I place my hand on her cheek.

"Get well soon, baby. Your love is waiting for you." I put a kiss on her forehead and stayed by her side.

"Aayana, you have to leave." Iqra is whispering.

"What? Where? Sana told me that I can stay here." Why is she saying this I am unable to understand.

"Police can come here to arrest you." I stand up at her statement.

"What?" I got louder so I lowered my voice. "But why? What did I do?" I am confused about the reason.

"Akram. He confessed to the Police that because of you he stabbed Ira. You had the plan to bring him here as you are the heir of TREND. That's the reason you did this." He really shivered my ground.

"But it's not a solution to escape. Then they will think that I am guilty for real." I am really unable to understand what to do now.

"You have to hide till Ira comes to her senses. Arif is coming with Ira's legal adviser. They will prove you had no idea about Ira's decision. But I wonder if it's possible to halt your arrest warrant." She is so panicked.

"Okay, Iqra. Calm down. Let them come. It's not a solution to escape from here." I don't want to let anyone point at me.

"But, Aayana." I hold her.

"Ira is fine. She will bring me out of any situation but I can't escape from the law." She nods and Sana enters.

"Police are already here." She is huffing as well.

"It's okay. I have to go." Sana becomes shocked when I say that.

"She won't escape." Iqra is worried. I sit by Iru.

"See, baby. Now you have no option other than getting well. You have to bring me out, okay? Sorry, I can't be with you now." I drop a kiss on her hand and leave the cabin. Police are standing outside.

"Great, you are here. Otherwise, we had to enter the cabin." The Police Officer is too harsh. He is not the one who came earlier to arrest Akram.

"Don't worry, I am here. Let's go." One of them cuffs my hand and we lead to the Police van. They are so fast that I am unable to match their walking speed due to my pain.

"Please walk slowly. She is unwell." Sana is talking in a cracked voice.

"She is a criminal as well." Why are they already declaring me a criminal?

We reach the van and I get into it. Iqra's phone is ringing. She takes the call.

"Arif, where are you? They are taking Aayana." I don't know what Arif says but Iqra asks to stop the van immediately. Don't know what happened but one of them pushed her harder and the van started to run faster. One of them holds me tightly. Everything is so fast to react.

"What is happening?" I ask them.

"You are kidnapped by me." Sunny's voice shocked me.

"What are you doing here?" I don't know what to say.

"How can I let go of the chance to take revenge on Ira?" This time it's not required. How will Iru handle this? She is not even in her senses. I am again the scapegoat to Iru's enemies. What is waiting for us now?
