As everyone's eyes were on them Tiger put zoya down grabbed her by the arm and dragged her  backstage to a changing room and asked everyone to get out.

Zoya was scared avoiding eyes with Tiger

Tiger looked at her angrily then slowly started to approach her 

Noticing that zoya looked up at him with a worried look and took steps back 

She was taking steps back he was approaching her slowly 

Then Zoya's back hit the wall

Just when she wanted to leave Tiger put his right arm to her side blocking her from leaving

Zoya: Let me go please 

Tiger: You started lecturing me about dignity and pride the other day..but look at you now, dressed in such clothes..coming to my place..ruining my show..for wat? To take revenge? Or to get my attention like every other girl

Zoya: I didn't know this place belonged to you, if I knew I would've came 

Tiger chuckled was zoya was trying to stop herself from crying 

Tiger: I'm sure that's the case.  

Tiger hit the wall with the same hand he blocked her from leaving, she startled

Tiger: What the hell are you doing here 

Zoya: I-I saw deepika and ranvir so I-

Tiger: You saw deepika and ranvir so you decided to sneak in my show, I'm curious about one thing how did you get past through the guards and officers 

Zoya: Some man brought me here he works for you

Tiger: I'm not letting you go if you're gonna keep lying to me 

Zoya: I'm not lying..my sister is waiting for me please let me go 

Tiger grabbed zoya by the waist and pulled her towards him soya was surprised 

Zoya: What are you doing 

Tiger: Isn't that what you came for, you're just like every other girl

Zoya was trying to move his hands away from her waist but his grip was too strong 

Zoya: please let me go 

Tiger: I know girls like you very well, trying to trap rich men by using their bodies to get attention, well now you have my attention, are you going to give yourself to me, but of course I will have to pay you though right? 

Zoya was in disbelief as she was teary 

Tiger reached for the zipper of her back dress and was unzipping it slowly.. 

zoya then pushed him away and just when she was about ti slap him he held her arm

Tiger: Don't you ever dare

They looked at each other for a moment, zoya with embarrassment and disbelief while Tiger with anger 

Tiger: You really thought I was going to touch you? I wouldn't do that Even if you were the last girl on earth 

Tiger pulled her close to himself again and threatened her to not show herself again and just when he was about to leave he saw a pair a dirty shoes 

Tiger: Such poor shoes, they definitely must be yours am I correct 

Zoya didn't answer but Tiger already knew so he picked them up and threw them in the garbage that was inside the room then he left 

Zoya felt in despair she started crying. She changed into her normal clothes and went outside the same way she came from

Haya was waiting for her calling her but zoya's phone was silent so she didn't hear even if she did she wouldn't answer because of terrible she's feeling right now 

Haya then saw zoya and ran towards her 

Haya: Zoya! Are you okay what happened why are you crying? 

Zoya didn't answer her instead she just kept walking 

Haya: Zoya what happened in there why are you in this state 

Zoya then stopped turned towards her sister

Zoya: I want to be alone Haya

Haya: No zoya I am not leaving you are you kidding?! 

Zoya: Haya, please..nana is home alone I will go and get her medicines they were finished anyway..I'll see you at home 

Haya: but zoya- 

Zoya: I'm okay really, I was just happy to see my 2 favorite actors that's all okay

Even though Haya didn't believe zoya and even though she didn't want to leave zoya at all in that state, she had to go home

It's almost about to be sunset and zoya's still walking having flashbacks about tigers words and his disrespect towards her, how she felt helpless and very upset

She couldn't help but cry 

Since she took off her heels after changing and since she didn't have her old shoes as they were in the trash already , she was walking barefoot,  She had reached the nearest temple once she realized the temple she walked upstairs towards it, it was 20 steps to reach it

The ground was filled with sharp rocks,dirt,and a few glass

Zoya cut herself each step she took

She closed her eyes right with each pain she felt but didn't even knelt down once to check her foot she still kept walking up towards the temple 

At that same temple a handsome man, chiseled jawline, hair slick back, dressed in all black had a sleeve tattoo on his left arm, he also had a vertically tattoo on the side of his right neck "PASSION" 

He was with an old lady who was doing a ritual prayer with the rest while he was just standing in the back showing fully no interested in it

Both his hands were in his pockets 

Zoya reached inside the temple with dried tears 

Some women were eyeing her and gossiping about her

"Who's she?" "What do you think happened to her" "look at the way she's dressed, it's all rags" "she probably comes from a poor family maybe even the streets" 

Zoya heard all that and responded back as she couldn't take it any longer

All eyes were on them including the old lady the handsome stranger was with, the handsome stranger was the only one that couldn't see her perfectly since everyone was in front of him

He still showed no interest and walked outside the temple after asking one of the guards that was accompanying him and the old lady to watch over his grandmother 

The handsome stranger started to walk towards his luxury car

Zoya: You guys are right, im poor, I didn't grow up with a silver spoon like you guys, but I was never not even for a day ashamed, my grandmother took care of me and my little sister she worked day and night just for us, everyone around me made fun of us because she worked as a house cleaner, at a bakery..just to feed me and my little sister. I was thankful and proud of her at every moment I was never ashamed and I never will be. I didn't live a normal childhood because I also had to take care of my sister my and grandmother once she got sick, I had to leave school to work and take care of my family. It's no one's fault it's not a child's fault to have to mature at an early age, we just live in a judgmental society. I hope no one of you lives what I lived because I never wish anything bad to anyone 

Zoya then left, the old lady looked so proud of zoya she was smiling at her speech and liked at and praised her behavior and the way she was raised 

Once zoya left the temple she walked down

The handsome stranger was on his phone with his back against the car while waiting for his grandmother 

As zoya finally reached the end of the temple while stumbling all the way because of her bloody and injuries under her feet

The handsome stranger started to look around 

He noticed zoya and her injured state

He raised an eyebrow looking confused as he was looking at her

A car starts honking while approaching zoya's direction 

Zoya wasnt paying attention she was distracted with her thoughts not hearing everything 

The handsome stranger noticed the car approaching her

So he quickly ran towards zoya while calling her out to move 

"HEY! GET OUT OF THE WAY"

Zoya wasn't listening she was lost in her thoughts 

The handsome stranger quickly pulled her out of the way and they both fell on the ground but he protected her by using his body as a shield 

Handsome stranger: Are you alright?! 

Zoya looked at him for a few seconds but then her vision became blurry and fainted in his arms 

The handsome stranger looked at her for a second trying to wake her up but then he picked her up in his arms and headed straight towards his car

Just then he grandmother came down with their bodyguard and saw them 

James's Grandmother: James? 

James: We need to take her to the hospital 

James's grandmother: That's the same girl that was up at the temple 

James: Not now nana come on 

James helped his grandmother get inside and drove off the car while his bodyguards followed with their car

James grandmother: Let's take her to our house my son 

James: What?

James grandmother: Everyone is going to know who we are once we reached the hospital, don't forget that we come from a very well known family so all of our moves are being watched by everyone, that's why we should take her home and call our family doctor to come and take a look at her 

James: Nana- 

James grandmother: I said take her home once she gets better we will drop her off whenever she lives 

James: As you say nan 

James sighed 

They reached their mansion and on the way James called their family doctor 

James parked his car and went to the back seat picked her up and reached to the front door 

There were servants and butlers all around the servants opened the front door and James took her upstairs to his room

He laid her on his bed

James checked if she had a fever

Just then the family doctor came with his 2 nurses 

James and his grandmother left the room

About 29 minutes later he came out The room and went downstairs to talk with James and his grandmother dorga 

Dorga: How's the girl 

Doctor: Shes fine now I gave her a sedative she's sleeping. She fainted from blood loss but it wasn't severe, we attached a saline to help her 

James: Her feet was injured 

Doctor: We took a look at that as well that's where the blood-loss came from, make her not stand on her feet too much you have to take care of your wife better treat her wounds with ointments so there will be no infection later on

James: Shes not my wife 

Doctor: Shes not? I thought she was I started asking myself when did he get married and not include me 

The doctor chuckled then excused himself 

Grandmother dorga was happy about it even though James didn't take it serious and didn't smile at it at all, he then walked away from the living room 

Dorga: I really loved this girl she seems very well mannered, I hope my James and her will soon come to love each other 

*********

It's now night time

James went to get clothes from his bedroom closet to change, and as James took his shirt off he heard some mumbling coming from zoya

He walked towards her to check if she was okay 

Zoya: mom...dad...please don't leave me 

James: Hey wake up you're having a nightmare 

James was shaking her carefully to wake her up, she then woke up with a gasp from the nightmare 

She then became face to face with a topless strange man in front of her which made her move back on the bed 

Zoya: Who are you?
