Love is dangerous with a Stranger
(A romantic, investigative and detective thriller)

“I think that you have got hold of that file. Otherwise you could not have been known about these things.” Sighing heavily Smaran said.
“No, Mr.Smaran. That file has been destroyed but before handing over that file to Rita, Alex got a copy of it and put it under the seat cover of his car. He started blackmailing Rita that he would give that file to you if she did not agree to sleep with him again as she did to make him to give that file to her. When Rita said about this to Isabella, she thought that Alex would be a potential danger to them, so she made Rita agree to sleep with him again and cleverly poison him with thallium. It is very easy to make someone eat food poisoned with thallium as thallium has no colour, taste or odour. This thallium has been found in a bottle in Rita’s home along with that pen-drive in a paper packet in the police raid on Rita’s home. I have directed Nicholas to keep a close eye on Alex as I have suspected him in missing of the file on Alex. The stalkers that Nicholas used were experts and they found Alex’s meeting with Rita every time without getting their doubt and Isabella’s meeting Rita also.” Smaran paused for a moment observing Stuart.
Stuart leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes. His heart was with full of distress. The most surprising thing here was; even after all this also, he could not become angry with Jasmine.
“And when it comes to Jasmine.....……” Smaran started again in the same measure of voice. “…………..in that prostitute profession, sometimes women also come for women and in such a way she would have been turned into a lesbian I think and once becomes a lesbian she started enjoying that also and became so.”
“Still I cannot feel angry with that Jasmine. If she really changed herself, I want to live along with her.” Stuart said and stooped forward in the chair.
“That is upto you Mr.Smaran, you may take your own decision regarding that.” Smaran said.
“She went to that Isabella’s house a long time back but did not return yet.” Stuart got off from the chair with a sudden worrying expression in his face. “I want to go there and see what is happening.”
“Alright Mr.Smaran. We also do come with you.” Smaran also got off from the chair he sat.
Then first Stuart, after him Smaran and Namita came out of that house.

“My god! What is this?” Stuart exclaimed looking at the scene before his eyes.
As soon as Stuart, Smaran and Namita entered into the house of Isabella, the dead bodies of Isabella and Jasmine greeted them.
“Your wife killed my wife Mr.Stuart, your wife killed my wife.” James sat between the two dead bodies and mumbling in himself while looking at the dead body of his wife.
Stuart did not know what was happening around but after sometime police entered into that place. Their bodies have been removed and Stuart also made to go away from that place.

“We found it in your wife’s hand-bag Mr.Smaran. She wanted it to be read by you I think. We did not open this cover at all.” Nicholas handed over a cover to Stuart. It was the day after the deaths of Isabella and Jasmine.
At that time along with him was Smaran in his chamber. After giving him the cover Nicholas also sat beside Smaran.
Stuart did not know how he opened the cover and took the paper from it into his hands. His eyes were glued to the words in that letter.
“Dear Stu,” it started so
He just remembered how she took his permission to call him like that.
“On that day itself, when you expressed your love on me, I said to you love is dangerous with a stranger. You did not listen to me. You did not listen to me then just because there was only love in your heart on me then. I understood it Stu. I understood it and I changed my mind to hoodwink you and cheat you as per the advice of that rascal David Carter and determined to love you back in the same measure and I was successful in doing so. I am with every intention to love you with whole of my heart and be your faithful wife and lover forever.
But probably I don’t deserve that I think. A prostitute does not deserve a respectable family life I am afraid. I was forced into prostitution in a very surprising way can you guess how? My first sexual adventure was with a woman, that was my aunt. By making me forced to have sex with her, she turned me into a lesbian also. I was an orphan and I have to be with her all the time and there was no escape to me at all. I was very much beautiful and she used me only with very high profile clients and who could pay much money and this David Carter was one such client. By the time my aunt died and I was matured, I was fully in the prostitute profession without knowing how to escape from it. It may be surprising there used to be women clients also for me.
But those sexual intercourses created hate in me towards sex. I never have participated in sex whole heartedly and never enjoyed that. I felt fear it would be like that with you also and put such a condition to our marriage. But you know one thing Stu? I really liked it with you. I liked it with you only because I also loved you back in the same measure. I never have thought that I can love someone and enjoy sex with him but it has become possible to me with you.”
Stuart was not trying to stop the flow of tears on his cheeks and continued reading that letter.
“While I was suffering in that prostitute profession, that rogue David Carter explained the plan how to take advantage of you and by doing that he said I can escape from prostitution forever. He made me study about you, told me and trained me how to act with you and everything was a big success! You just believed everything he said and fallen for me. I knew that you were attracted towards me just because I am beautiful but I saw something innocence in you and was really attracted towards you. I don’t know how and why it has happened like that but I started really very much loving you. I just could not cheat you as that David Carter was suggesting and my only strong wish was to live along with you forever. I have to be very much careful with that David Carter because if he found out what I was thinking I knew he has got video-clips of our sexual intercourse to blackmail me. While I was mulling over what to do Isabella gave me the suggestion how to get rid of him.
Isabella! I thought that she was just attractive and beautiful having an amicable nature. At the second time I think, when she entered into the house we both embraced each other in a friendly way and I kissed on her cheek. Then she hugged me strongly and kissed on my both cheeks. That triggered the lesbian instincts in me and started doing what I used to do with my aunt and women clients. I thought some revolt from her but quite surprisingly she started cooperating with me and I understood she also was a lesbian like me. From then on and not just on that day, we both used to enjoy sexual intimacy like that between us both. In fact that was what made us both good friends and I expressed what I was thinking and the problem to it. Then she told me about thallium and how people can be killed with it without getting them doubted it. As I could manage till that moment David Carter did not get any doubt on me, it has not become a difficult thing to me to poison his food and killed him.
What I could not know until recently was; that Isabella was having sex with David Carter and took him into his confidence. She is also such type who can enjoy sex with both male and female. Believing her completely, David Carter said to her where he kept the pen-drive having videos of our both sexual intercourse. Cunning Isabella thought just in the same way David Carter thought and has stolen that pen-drive from there. She asked me to kill you just in the same way I killed that David Carter so I can get the full hold on your properties as your widow and then I can give half of it to her. I killed that rogue David Carter only with the idea to live along with you forever then but how can I even think to kill you? But I did not say so to her straight as I knew what would happen if I said like that. Anyhow she understood that I don’t intend to do like that and started blackmailing me that she would show those video-clips to you.
I study only upto tenth standard, then how could I answer the questions of detective Smaran about my studies? You just don’t know how much difficulty I have faced to answer most of your questions. I cheated you Stu but once I fell in love with you my only idea was to live along with you forever. A prostitute does not deserve that but that was what I wanted all the time.
I understood one thing for sure. That detective Smaran sooner or later would come out with the truth. I just cannot look into your face once you come to know about it. But I know this Isabella is dangerous to you and is always thinking how to take advantage of you. I want to remove her also from your way before removing myself. That was why I killed her and killed myself.
I am a cheater, prostitute and hoodwinked you. I don’t deserve to ask you anything. But I want to ask you one thing! If you feel there is even a semblance of love in me towards you, you have to do it.
Please marry Stuart, have children and raise a family. Then only my soul can be peaceful. Love is dangerous only with strangers like me but not with all girls. Not all strangers also are not bad.
I wait in the heaven to see you married and have children.
Ever yours,
Jasmine.
By the time Stuart finished reading, the paper in his hands became completely wet with tears.
Epilogue
Two years later;
“I never have thought that you do marry, has a son and celebrate his first birthday in this way after seeing such incidents taking place in your life.” Dr.Peterson said with Stuart when he was alone at some place in that big celebration.
It was the first birth day of Stuart’s son Charles and that celebration was going on in a big and reputed hotel in a grand manner and Stuart invited many people to it and they were enjoying it thoroughly.
“In other situations I would not have Dr.Peterson. But it was the wish of Jasmine, my previous wife and real love. How can I deny her only death wish?” with a smile on his lips Stuart said and by that time Sophia also came there and heard it.
“My god! Your wife heard it. I just don’t know how she takes it. It was my mistake saying like that to you.” With an uneasy expression in his face, Dr.Peterson said.
“He told me everything before our marriage itself and he said that his love was to his first wife also, that was Jasmine. To him she was never Eva Marrison and always only Jasmine. They were true lovers Dr.Peterson that was why she made such a last wish and he does love her in the same way even after knowing what she was.”
“Sophia is hundred percent right.” With a fixed expression in his face Stuart said. “I love my wife and son but I never ceased to love Jasmine. Yes, she is always Jasmine to me and never Eva Marrison.”
“And it is hundred percent agreeable to me also. If it was not for Jasmine’s death wish, Stuart never has married me at all.” Sophia said.
Suddenly the expression in Stuart’s face changed and he went to James who came there just then. “Why you have become late like this James? I am just waiting for you.” He hugged James and asked him looking into his face.
“How you can feel like that towards me even after my wife tried such things in your life? How it has become possible to you?” tears were flowing down on the cheeks of James. “You not only gave me a job in your organisation and let me stay in your quarters but looking after everything of my daughter also. Just human beings never can behave in this way.”
“I am just a human being, human beings always do mistakes, I also did, Jasmine also did, Isabella also did and Rita also did. I cannot say whether it was wrong or right but I enjoyed it a lot with Isabella and I never forget that. Even though she thought like that, she was a good friend also to me. So I just cannot forget about her husband and her daughter. That’s it.”
James was about to say something but then they heard a voice behind them.
“Rita asked me to convey her love to your son Mr.Stuart.” when Stuart turned back left his hold around James, he found Michael stood there.
“You are also late just like James to the celebration. I have expected you little before.” Pretending an angry expression in his face Stuart said.
“I have to stay in the office to complete the work. James and I both were completely engaged in our work and could not be freed until one hour or so back so we could not make it before than this.” Michael said.
“Michael is right. That is why we both have become late to this celebration.” James said.
“Alright, alright.” Stuart nodded his head. “How is the situation Michael? I think your son has come into intermediate. If you want anything more, please ask me.”
“You never give me the chance to ask sir.” Michael laughed “Not only you gave me the job in your organisation and let me stay in the quarters but also you are providing everything before asking. You have arranged all the funds for my son’s education besides giving me a good salary. I indeed don’t need that much of a big house to live in.”
“If you think it is too much big, I arrange a small one for you.” Stuart said looking into the face of Michael. “I don’t like Rita to be in the prison like that. I am really sorry for that.”
“It is not your mistake to feel sorry for it sir. She killed a person intentionally and she deserved that. I also need punishment as I encouraged her to do such type of things. Anyhow she has been given ten years rigours punishment and she would be released after that. ” Michaela said and he suddenly put his both hands around Stuart before saying again. “You don’t feel sorry for anything sir. A good person like you should not feel sorry. You must be happy all the times.”
“My happiness is in the happiness of you people.” Stuart said and put his right hand around James shoulders and left hand on Michael shoulders. “Come you both have to wish good-luck to my son.”
Then those three moved towards Sophia in whose hands Charles, Stuart’s son was lying at that time. The whole party was going on with lot of merriment and laughter insinuating their lives were going to be so just like that in future also.
