Ch-87

Present...…

Nicholas sighed at his distant memory. He saw Esther was packing up for that day. She kept the painting aside to let it dry. He took that as a chance and sneaked inside the room. He took his phone and was about to click the picture but…. Ah, snap… he was caught.

"Nicholas, what are you doing so sneakily?" Esther asked as she crossed her arms against her chest.

"Nothing, I felt It was so good and needed to be admired. I wanted to capture it! And use it as your upcoming painting gala invitation card!" Nicholas said as he waved his arms in the sky!

Gosh! His sister-in-law was something! With his abilities, it's hard for others to detect his actions but she detected them. Gosh! He has no choice but serves his head to her on a golden platter.

"I see, hmm… on second thought I am not going to exhibit this in the exhibition! So no need!" she said.

"I am leaving now! Come with me!" she added.

"Miss. Benjamin, Just lock your cabin! I have four emails to send. After sending them I will leave!" he said.

"I will then!" Esther said.

"PLEASE DON'T DO THAT!" he shrieked off.

"Why are you shouting?" she asked with a shock on her face.

"Sir Henry warned me not to let you work with me for a long time! It's only nine in the night. You can leave Miss. Benjamin. I will leave in another half an hour!" he said respectfully.

Esther chuckled and left. After seeing her leave only then he sighed in relief. He has no work, he just made it up!

He went into his cabin and sat there. After that, he snapped his fingers. Just like that, the power in the building went off.

He went to her room. Nicholas opened the door with his powers and entered it without any feelings of guilt. He snapped his fingers and turned on the lamp beside the painting and took the picture of it.

And fled away not forgetting to turn on the power in the building. After getting out of the building he sent the picture of the painting to his brother. Only after sending it, he felt relieved.

Nicholas and Ben related to Cyrus by blood. They both are cousins to him. It's just that their father was not strong enough to compete for the throne and he never tried to fight. He always believed in destiny. Even though they were connected by blood, they always feared Cyrus. Because Cyrus was stronger than them all the time. And as time passed he became an unapproachable goal for them to reach.

Nicholas yawned lazily and retired for that day.

Meanwhile….

On the other side, Cyrus smiled at the picture. It was a picture of one of their memories. At that time, they both went to the temple to get blessings from God for their future. It's just that she wore a white saree while he also wore white Kurti. It's just that this guy misunderstood seeing their dress. They never got married in their life.

He smiled at his distant memory and fell into sleep with his phone in his hands.

Next-Day….

Cyrus woke up as he rubbed his back. His back was sore due to the uncomfortable position of his sleeping posture.

He got up and directly went into the bathroom to wash his face. After washing up he came out and saw it's only six. But it's time for his son to wake up and go home. Even if he doesn't wake up he decided to carry him home.

The small bulge under the blanket looked like a dumpling. Unknown to his knowledge Cyrus smiled at the sight. That little guy is a small annoying dumpling. Cyrus reached the bed and pulled the blanket only to see a pillow under it!

There was no sign of Reggie being in the ward!

Cyrus can sense an intruder's presence!

And the way he fell asleep last night was also so weird!

Who did it?

It has to be someone close to him! It means someone betrayed him!

He took his phone out and called Ben!

"Ben! Seize the hospital! And check all the cameras and Find Reggie! He is missing!" Ben said.

"Brother! Can't you check the location of the band on his wrist? It will show his place!" Ben said as he yawned.

"Vijanman! (bastard) If you don't wake up now and start the task now! I will make you suffer! Get your ass in front of me in a minute!" Cyrus roared.

He can't lose the child. Even though the kid was annoying he was a good child! And he has a basic sense that even elders don't have! He liked the child, to be honest, it's not like but love! Even he didn't understand why but whenever he saw him he felt he was seeing the child of his and Raudramuki.

Ahh… Cyrus groaned as he thought of the child's missing. Gosh! First, he needs to calm down. He thought about the things that could happen. He slept without his knowledge as if someone used a spell. No Drug can make him fall asleep. It must be that someone used a spell on him. IT also means someone knew about his identity. He was sure that the Old Man Benjamin, only he knew about it. Apart from him, no one knows about it. Then, he was betrayed by his men! Only four people came to earth. That was he, Reggie, Ben, and one of his main bodyguards. Could it be that his bodyguard betrayed him!?? He brought that guard to protect Reggie, not for himself. Only he has the chance. But he was loyal to him for many centuries. Why would he betray him all of a sudden? Looks like there was something he couldn't think off.

'Could it be that the child ran off by himself?' his inner self said as it appeared in his brain.

'Nope! The kid is not reckless!' he answered his inner self. Even his inner self has to agree with him. But what exactly has happened?

Cyrus was thinking many scenarios about the child missing. But he couldn't find any perfect scenario that can be related to the child's missing.

The Gracia's have to be ruled out. After all, they were doomed. Also, everyone thinks that Reggie was dead. There is no single chance that he was alive. Only people whom he knew could do that.

Wait….The restaurant. The last time when he went to a restaurant, there was a big crowd in it. Many people saw him. Could it be that someone who was a rival of his company did this? But how could they do it, they have no powers. Or that guy followed him from Atlantis to Alvonia?

If it was the case then it would be troublesome. In this human world, they couldn't or shouldn't use the powers. It's the thing that he promised to his Kula Guru. He doesn't know why but his Kula Guru said that the usage of his powers in the human world can make Esther crazy! It's not that he couldn't use them, it's that he can use them in front of his people and in secluded places not in crowded places. And they can use small tricks in public which can be unnoticed by others.

Meanwhile....

Ben who woke up with the sudden phone call felt like he was irritated. And all thanks to god, he didn't say 'who the fuck are you?' in the call. If he died he would have been done for that day.

When he heard Reggie was missing he sat upright. He couldn't help but feel a chill running through his spine!

"Brother, why not check his location with the band on his wrist?" he said.

But all he got was a loud snarl. He immediately washed up and ran towards his brother. He saw his brother sitting coldly on the side of the bed as held Reggie's blanket close to him.

"No one should know the missing of him! And in the next three hours, I need my child back!" he said as he got up from his seat.

"Check every person! And don't use powers! We will use them as the last resort! I doubt that he came following us! I fell asleep without my knowledge and I couldn't find any traces of another person here!" Cyrus said.

"Let, Aravind know this! First, find the camera footage!"Cyrus said.

"Brother! It is not Aravind it's Edwin! Our bodyguard has a different name!" Ben said.

"If you don't want your tongue to be cut off! You better shut your mouth now!" Cyrus growled at him.

"Yesh! I am going!" Ben fled away.

Cyrus sat and continued to think about how to kill that man but at that time he got a call from an unknown number. He picked it up with his furrowed brows and greeted the other side.

"Hello!" he said.

"Mr. Vritra, why don't you come and pick your annoying son from our house?" said an angry voice.

What!?

AUTHOR'S GUIDE:

In Dravidian culture, people will wear white dresses after tying the knot ceremony to pour Talambralu (rice mixed with turmeric) on the heads of the bride and groom. These are poured by the groom on the bride, while the bride pours them in on the head of the groom. This is one of the games in the marriage segment which was fun and meaningful. I will explain them during the marriage of Esther and Cyrus!
