...Dealing With The Devil (2)...

Aaron was furious after that sudden attack. It made him realize that what they were facing was something much more dangerous than they thought. It threatened their lives and was about to harm his daughter.

- WHERE ARE YOU? SHOW YOUR FACE TO ME, YOU COWARD, WHY ARE YOU HIDING?... HOW DARE YOU ATTACK US LIKE THAT.

The waters began to berserk, then a big wave suddenly rose in front of them, but it didn't hit them. The wave had big scary eyes.

- WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

Big laughter came from it:

- HAHAHA... WHAT A PATHETIC MONSTER!

Then it headed toward them:

- WATCH OUT, EVERYONE. IT'S GOING TO HIT US!

Aaron wanted to take his daughter away to safety. He carried her and run as fast as he could since the bracelet was immune to his power. But the wave was faster than him. it hit them strongly. Fortunately, Sarra created a shield and protected them before the wave reaches them:

- Is everyone okay?

- Yeah, thank you.

Rahul was shocked after witnessing all of that.

- WHAT WAS THAT?

- We don't know either, but I hope we will figure it out soon.

Aaron and the rest went back to the hotel, there was only Dylan.

- Why are you all wet? What did happen to you?

- Something attacked us while we were on the boat.

- ARE YOU SERIOUS?

- Yes, and it was about to drown Annie. She was saved only because of the bracelet.

Aaron looked very angry. He punched the wall and broke it. Dylan held him back from destroying the room:

- Calm down Aaron, this is not the right time to act like this.

- HOW COULD I CALM DOWN? THAT THING WANTED TO KILL MY DAUGHTER AND... I...WITH ALL THE POWER I HAVE...I COULDN'T SAVE HER!

- She is okay now.

- WHAT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN.

- It won't happen again, I can guarantee that.

- Why are you so sure? And...Where is Laila? I can't find her anywhere.

- She went to meet her partner.

- What do you mean?

- She confessed that there is someone behind all of this and she has been helping him, from the beginning, to get the treasure through us.

- SHE DID? Who is her partner?

- She didn't tell me, all that we agreed about was that she will take us to Tarou if we helped her get the treasure.

- WHY DID YOU DO SUCH A THING? WE CAN JUST GET RID OF HER.

- She knows Tarou's place, we must cooperate with them, besides, her partner won't attack us again.

Dylan looked very depressed. Sarra knew that their conversation didn't end the way he wanted.

- Is that what you talked about? I thought that You will confess to her?

- There is no need for that. All she wants is the treasure, I'm nothing to her. I shouldn't have high hopes in the first place.

At that time, Laila was listening to their conversation. She didn't expect Dylan wanted to confess his love for her.

" He...He loves me!"

She tried to control her facial expressions, then she entered the room while pretending that she didn't hear anything. Everyone was looking at her with angry looks:

- I suppose that Dylan told you about our deal.

- Yes, he did.

- I...I talked to my partner and he promised that he won't attack you as long as you are willing to help us to find the treasure.

Aaron rushed toward her and grabbed her from her collar:

- I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR DAMN TREASURE. WHERE IS TAROU?

Laila didn't flinch while looking at Aaron's angry eyes:

- He is fine, don't worry. We will soon get to him.

- If SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS TO ANNIE I WILL KILL YOU.

Laila felt stuffed after seeing their usually smiling faces turning gloomy. She got used to their presence around her, and she considered them friends. But now, they were treating her as an enemy. Especially, Dylan, he didn't even look at her.

" What was I expecting? I have been lying to them since the beginning. But why it is so painful? I have been living all my life alone and I have never wanted to be with anyone. What is the difference now? What is so special about him? He doesn't even look like a monster. Why am I longing for his warm touches...Get hold of yourself, Laila. He surely hates you now. I must finish my mission. "

She turned around to not show to them her frustration:

- I think it is time to go back to the Taj Mahal to get the clue...
