Hi Sushit,
For some reason, those files may have become hidden. I recommend you to open the Finder application.
Click Applications under the Places heading, select Utilities -> Terminal. Type the following command:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES. Check if the files are visible now. I would recommend you to check the step by step guide below. If you have the option, check the drive on another Mac.
Hope this helps

Could you tell me what file format are you using? Have you ever used some software which helps using NTFS formats on a Mac? This is more or less a common issue, but it should be resolved with the command I suggested or repairing the drive. I would recommend you to get some more suggestions from the WD phone support. I leave you a link below.

Does the drive appear in Disk Utility?
Plug in the drive, then run Disk Utility by clicking on spotlight and typing "Disk U". It will appear in the list on the left.
If it does, select it (on the left) and click Repair (on the right).
The message you saw (eject before disconnecting) is definitely what you get when you forget to eject first.
