My senses were on high alert. Wherever I see there is darkness. My whole body was in pain. My hands and legs are ties to a chair. A blind is tied over my eyes. I feel so scared, so alone, so terrified. All I want to do is go home and snuggle into my bed and close my eyes and forget about the fright I am going through now. Fear. It puts your body on a flight and fight mode. It changes you. It traumatisés you. It puts you on the kind of edge which you have never dreamt of in the years of your existence. It makes you insane even.

But I can't go into fear now. I have to keep my mind sane. I have to make myself calm. If not for me, for my baby. I have to protect my baby and I would be damned if I let something happen to it.

I try to wiggle out of the ropes but to no avail. It's cutting into my skin making me hiss in pain.

"If I were you I would stop wiggling" A gasp left my mouth at the sudden chilling voice. It was the voice of a man. My captor. His voice was chilly, rusty. It was the kind of voice which will give you a shiver down your spine and it damn sure did to me.

What freaked me out more is the fact that someone has been watching me sitting so near to me and I cannot see them because I am blindfolded. The fact that someone is staring at me and I have no control to stop them from doing that and I am stuck here to this chair is making me want to run away so far and hide.

My breathing became shaky as I heard footsteps coming my way. My sense organs other than my eyes are on full alert now. My autonomic nervous system or rather my sympathetic nervous system is on fire. The urge to fight and flight coursing through my body.

"You didn't change at all. You look exactly the same way since I last saw you and breathed you into my mind. Infact you look even more hot and sexy now" his voice came to my ears. He is so close to my ears whispering these disgusting words. Wait....what does he mean by seeing me? Do I know him? What the hell? This is so much more creepy.

Mustering up courage I asked in a shaky voice "Who are you?"

He chuckled "I was wondering when you would ask that. You know any other person in your place would have been screaming at me with their stupid high pitch voices but you are calm and collected even when you are tied to a chair and blindfolded. That's what I love about you sweet pea. You are an angel" he said tracing his finger on my cheeks. My whole body shook at his touch. I felt disgusted and terrified at his words. He seems psychotic. Who am I kidding my psych brain already registered that he is psychotic and neurotic. I don't know what to do my whole body is shaking and my body racked with sobs.

"Who are you?" I asked this time my tone hard but filled with pain and fear.

"Well rather than telling you it's better I show you what say?" Saying that he took of the blindfold and I squinted my eyes a little at the dim lit room. My gaze fell on the person infront of me and my whole body froze.

A shocked gasp flew out of my mouth. Standing infront of me is none other than...

"Karthik?" The disbelief, shock, and terror in my tone can easily be detected.

"Surprise surprise!!" He stood there with a sinister smile on his face. He changed so much. He looked so geeky and reserved back then but the guy infront of me looks so modern and loaded.

"Why...why did you kidnap me? I mean why ..did..?" Confusion and distraught is etched all over my mind probably even my face too.

"I had to come back sweet pea so that I can introduce myself for real this time. But again you probably heard of me from your dear husband. I am Viraaj Raichand. The guy your husband sent to jail" he said smiling at me so darkly. Now I am even more terrified than I was before if that's even possible. He is Viraaj......Anjali's murderer! No no no.... But then he was Karthik? My mind is so jumbled right now. I guess he understood my unasked question because he started answering.

"I guess you are confused about so many things! Let me clear them for you so that you don't stress that little head of yours. My dad's company always competed against Dixit Industries. Those bastards always used to make us lose all our projects. So I decided I have to do something to bring them down. So I joined in their college and joined their gang. I used that naive little bitch Anjali to get into their group. I knew she was smitten by me so I used it to my advantage. I became close to them through her so they don't doubt me and I stole information from them and used it to my advantage. Poor little bastards they never realised. But then one day that bitch found out and I started blackmailing her and threatened her with her sweet brother's lives and started manipulating her brain. But she was smarter than me. She collected evidences without my knowledge and when I got to know I was so mad I started beating her to death. I made sure to cut her wrists and over dose her so that she can't be saved. But that bitch was smart she made sure they got the evidences and I got screwed" He gritted his teeth saying this. What the fuck!? Is he for real? I wanna kill him with my bare hands right now.

"Then I was sent to jail but got bailed with my dad's influence. My dad killed himself not being able to bear with the humiliation. Then I decided that I am going to take my revenge on those bastards" he said smirking looking at me.

"I came to Mumbai to watch them closely and one day I saw you on the road getting coffee from the diner near your hospital. You were so beautiful and like an angel coming from heaven! I couldn't help but stand there like a statue and stare at you. At that moment I knew I had to make you mine. So I got to know all about you and I used some influence I had to make me look like a special transfer patient and to make sure I got you as my therapist. Even that old hag, your chief didn't suspect a thing. I made sure I act like a sick patient because I wanted to be with you. Then suddenly I got to know about those assholes your husband hired for me to catch me and I had to quit and go into hiding. Trust me sweet pea it was very hard to leave you. And then I came back last month to come get .y reports back because I know they were searching for me and I didn't want to leave any traces. I saw the wedding card of you and that bastard on your receptionist's table and I got so mad that I left from there without taking them. Why did you do that sweet pea? Couldn't you wait for me?" he said caressing my arm making me jerk it away from him. I feel so repulsed by his touch. My action made his eyes go dark and he suddenly gripped my arm really tight making me Yelp in pain.

"I would lose that attitude sweet pea. Especially after you went behind my back and married that bastard. You are mine and only mine and I was supposed to take revenge on that bastard and come back to you but no! You had to go and open your legs for that asshole. Now he will pay consequences for taking you from me. And don't worry babe I'll kill him and then we can go far away from here and love each other forever" he said his mood changing 360 degrees from anger to sweet. Okay points to be noten here! Damn it! My brain has to stop!

"Are you for real!? Like seriously are you that delusional to think I will come with you. If that's what you think then you should really go see some therapist. I would never leave my husband. And mark my words you will be punished for your disgusting crimes and Arjun will come for me" I spat at his face despite knowing it would lead me to my grave.

Instead of lashing out like I expected he gave me a sinister smirk and said in a chilly tone "Let him. We will have so much fun"

The way he said it......I knew something worse it going to happen. I just pray to God that this nightmare gets over so that I can go home to my love.
