Mark's Pov:

Anna did not yet noticed me and she is busy in speaking to her dad and her face filled with tears and with one of the hand she holds a kid and it's Alex...

What?

How Anna and Alex came here?

Just before I looked at both of them in the wedding ground and I still remember Mona lead Anna along with her, both Alex and Anna are in the safe place but how both of them reached here?

Ok, I understand this Lucus kidnapped my Anna and Alex…

Whatever, he can't touch my girl…

In between my thoughts I called Anna...

Mark: Anna?

(And immediately looked at me and her face turned to shock and pale, I didn't expected her reaction like this. I thought her face is lightened up and immediately ran to me, but she didn't instead she is looking at me with her shocking expression.)

Anna: Mark..?

(I understand she didn't expected that I will save her, maybe that's the reason she is still in shock.)

Mark: Anna, come to this side, nothing will happen to you, I am here to save you…

Don't get scared...

Okay…

(I try to give her strength because I know she may feel nervous about this kidnap trap but what shocking me is she is striking her head as no with her crying face…

What?

I am shocked and body is filled with the shrills by looking at her reaction and I did not understand what is happening here and I didn't understand why Anna is striking head as no...

Mark: Anna, listen to me, he may threaten you or blackmail you through his words but don't listen to him come to my side...

(after listening to me she is crying unconditionally, but she still holds Alex hand with one of her hands and with her other hand, she covered her dad to protect him...

My mind was blank for her actions…

After a few seconds I came to reality and that's it my anger got rising up and I can't control my furious. Now I understand what happened, Lucas did not try to kidnap Anna, Anna came independently to Lucas, and now she is trying to protect him from me, what the hell is happening here...

I tried to control my furious and again requested her out of love towards her and tried to convince her again...

But her actions are testing my patience…

Mark: Anna, listen to me, he trapped you and Alex...

Come out of his trance and think about it before he threaten anyone of you...

Tom: Anna, please try to support us if you delay further, he may again try to escape from us and it's tough to find him.

Lucus: baby, please don't listen to them, they are trapping you to find me and they will take your life too if you still protect me so please move aside I will surrender myself to them, I can't take it anymore if they threaten your life to catch me…

You are more precious to me, my dear, you should stay safe…

(My furious raised more after listening to his lame words…

If he really care for his daughter, why did he hide all these days?

Anna: No dad, I don't let it happen...

(Lucus take a step back silently, I understand he will do something to escape from us and he may threaten Anna's or Ale's life at risk to escape from here…

In the next second, I immediately went close to Lucas by pushing Anna aside and grip his throat tightly with my hand…

He is suffering to take the breath, but I don't care…

How dare he to come between me and Anna, and how dare he to attack my sister?

He will pay for everything…

But Anna immediately came close to me and trying to take away my hand from her dad's throat with her crying face.

Anna: Mark...

Please leave my dad...

Please...

I am praying to you...

Please leave him...

(My rage is raising more and more, particularly when I am looking at her by supporting her dad for no reason.

How can she do that all of a sudden?

Why she is acting so weird?

She is behaving with me as if I am nothing to her...

I am confused and I am unable to understand what is happening here...

In between my thoughts, I loosen his throat and looked at Tom as what's happening, even he too looks so shocked and confused by looking at Anna...

Is this a dream or it's real, between my thoughts Anna immediately turned to me and Tom...

Anna: Tom and Mark please listen to me, my dad is not a culprit for Ria's case. Please trust me and please don't hurt him. Please leave him...

(She is begging us with her crying face.)

Mark: What the hell are you talking Anna?

Did you lose your mind?

You are supporting all of the culprits of Ria's case?

Don't you care for Ria?

Anna: Mark, I care Ria but it doesn't mean I am least bothered about my father and I don't fold my hands and look at all the things when it comes to my family and my dad is innocent and he does not know anything...

Please try to understand, Mark, he saved me from John by threatening his own life and till now John is threatening him and now luckily he escaped from him but both you and Tom are trying to arrest him...

(Anna said by taking deep sobbing, I can understand Lucus is playing with her emotions to get escape and Anna is not in a mood to listen to me or Tom.)
