DANCE INTO MY HEART

Episode 4: THE SCREEN ‎Veena went to the window to catch a glimpse of who Kasia must have slammed the door at. She saw Cas,he was already walking away towards his car after calling Veena a slut.‎‎Kasia slowly turned toward Veena, her eyes narrowing into a stare that demanded the truth.‎‎"Talk."‎‎Veena swallowed hard.‎‎Kasia folded her arms.‎‎" Tell me."‎‎Veena forced the lie past her lips.‎‎"I offended him. That's why he's angry."‎‎Kasia didn't blink.‎‎"You're lying."‎‎Silence settled between them.‎‎"If I ever find out that idiot laid a hand on you," Kasia said through clenched teeth, "I promise I'll personally send him to his ancestors."‎‎Veena's eyes widened.‎‎"He didn't hit me." Veena frowned.‎‎"Have you seen my other phone?"‎‎Kasia shook her head.‎‎"No. I didn't go through your bag. Call it."‎‎Veena hurried upstairs and dialed the number again.‎‎She called several times but no answer.‎She tried again.‎‎Still no answer.‎‎Leeno stretched out of bed, exhausted from the previous night's disaster.‎‎A tall, broad-shouldered, and effortlessly handsome, his dark skin caught the morning light pouring through the curtains. His clean low cut framed his face sharply, while the small piercings on his ears added just enough edge to his calm appearance.‎‎He was going to prepare for Rehearsals ‎‎He grabbed a towel and headed into the bathroom.‎‎Minutes later, as he stepped out of the shower, a ringtone echoed from his bag.‎‎‎The missing phone.‎‎He answered, hoping the owner had finally called.‎‎Instead, a familiar voice came through.‎‎"You Slut," Cas growled. "If you don't come home today, I'll post the video everywhere."‎‎Leeno went completely still.‎‎It was the guy from the club.‎‎Without saying a word, he ended the call, before Cas realized someone else had answered.‎‎He stared at the phone.‎‎Why does he threaten her this much? he wondered.‎‎Later that morning, Veena took an Uber to the apartment she shared with Cas.‎‎She needed fresh clothes for work.‎‎As the car entered the compound, she noticed Cas's car parked crooked across two spaces.‎‎Her heartbeat stumbled.‎‎The driver glanced at her through the mirror.‎‎"Madam, you're okay?"‎‎Veena forced a nod.‎‎"Yes."‎‎She paid, stepped out, and slowly climbed the stairs.‎‎Inside, the apartment smelled of alcohol.‎‎Cas sat on the couch, half drunk, staring at the television.‎‎Veena followed his gaze.‎‎The screen flashed with her face.‎‎Then the video began to play.‎‎Her blood turned to ice.‎‎To be continued...
