Unkown to the father and daughter who were talking their hearts out, Lakshmi stood there with an empty bottle in her hands... She couldn't help but listen to the cries of the little girl..

She went back inside her room and lied on the bed looking at her son snoring softly...

Rosellina is a cute girl and she could say that Alexander was also a good man by seeing the father daughter duo...he must be a good husband as well... Then why isn't his wife along with him? Did something happen to her? She remembered meera and immediately hit her head to get herself out of those memories.... But eventually she slept thinking about her husband and his tortures...

I cleaned the knife in my hand with a torn cloth. Turning to my back, I looked at her laying naked underneath the sheets .

I remembered the previous night....

I was hitting her with a whip and her screams resonated in the whole mansion from the dark room...

This is the room which I use to torture the one before I kill them... A chair in middle of this dark room with a yellow bulb hanging from top....

" please please leave me...

Please " Kaira groaned in pain in her hoarse voice and the next second she was hit again with the whip on her bleeding back earning another dreadful scream...

" tsk tsk tsk..

Not so soon dear

I have soo much planned for you " I said went out of the dark room.

I sat in my bar room and had a shot, it burned my throat...but it was less compared to my angel who had to face the demon.

' What was her wrong? She didn't even know what's going on around....

She trusted me

Dammit

She trusted me!

And didn't even tell that bastard!

She thought that I would help her and get her out of Kaira's clutches....

Why did she trust me?! '

I had another shot which burned my throat and my eyes watered remembering how she was hit with a leather belt, her room was filled with her screams and in the last he kicked her in her stomach and left....

A stinging sensation in my palm got me out of trance and I looked down at my hand which has broken glass pieces with my palm drenched in blood....

' Why did you trust me Lakshmi?

Was I too good in my acting or were you too innocent ?

Ha

How could I forget that she is still a little girl.... '

I pulled out the glass pieces from my palm with my fingers and poured a glass of water on my bleeding palm.

Anger. Rage. Pain. Hurt.

Many emotions that I couldn't control of , are urging me to push them out...

I went back to the dark room with my bleeding hand trailing blood drops behind... I looked at her pale exhausted face with torn clothes, having clotted blood and leash marks on her fair skin....

I went near her and slowly removed the ropes that were bound to her and chair. She was partially conscious...

My girl bared more than this...

She faced more than this...

That arjun shows you off to the world right? Even after getting married and even after lakshmi had good intentions for him , he always said her to mind her own business and even slapped her for she was only caring about him in hospital!.

I pulled her down by her hair and gripped it tightly jerking forwards. I pulled her across the dark room, hall room and then to the guest room in ground floor.

I threw her onto the bed and soon she tried to get off. I took out a dagger from the lower cabinet and went towards her slowly....she is too weak to even get off the bed.... I went towards her climbing on the bed and she moved more back. I held on to her leg and pulled her towards me.

Her whimpers soothened my mind... But not so soon...

I let the knife touch her cheek and then to her neck.... I could see fear in her eyes... I stabbed her thigh hard and she screamed in pain.... I twisted it more inside her thigh tearing down the muscles...

I pushed the knife more inside her thigh and it pierced into the sheets beneath her thigh. I left her and went towards the table and poured myself another shot and soon lost the count...

I looked towards the bed and saw lakshmi smiling at me covering herself with the sheets... Her cheeks are red... Is she shy?

But how?

how did she come here?

I mean, I was searching her every where and all around the city and couldn't find a trace of her....

But she is here

In my bed....

The way I have always dreamt of...

I slurred with the amount of alcohol that has pushed away my senses and saw her pulling the sheets on to her face...

" n...no...no baby

Let me see your face...

I want to see it...

How much I yearned for you angel

And now that you are here

I will not let you go " I said looking at her eyes and she smiled looking down...

I climbed on top of the bed towards her , like a prey she is under me...

Soo beautiful and soo alluring...

My innocent angel....

I looked at the red sheets and that bitch's unconscious body on my bed.

I snickered at the thought of fucking this woman while imagining my angel....

I left from the room and went to my room.

I let the robe fall down my body and stood in the glass shower letting the water pass through my hair and body reeking of alcohol along with my blood and that bitch's blood from my body...

Now it's the time for the goods to be delivered. Though I want to torture her more but I have to leave her to arjun to make him trust me....

Though she is smart, she can't over smart me. He must have already found out who must have done this , it's no problem even if he didn't because I am here to make sure that Kaira would be safely sent to him along with the proofs. And for the matter of fact, I wasn't involved in this directly and there ain't no proof.

A devilish smirk adorned my face as I imagined how my next step would tear him down more....

It's been 5 days.

5days 17 hours 23mins 4seconds.

I'm still sitting here in the dark in silence....waiting for her....

Or maybe not....

Maybe I just want to know that she is safe. Safe in this world.

Maybe this world is not more darker than mine....and would never be....

This silence and her screams are the only ones which are accompanying me in this dark room.

Again I am thrown back into the abyss of nothingness...

A nothingness of pain and regret that have only been coursing through this thing called as heart.

It was all my doings.

It was all my mistake

My fault

My world is too dark for my innocent wife but still my selfishness of seeing the light has bound her to me.

I love her

Still I do

Even though saying those words disgusts my existence after doing things to her which she never deserved but still...

I love her

Maybe that's why it pains...

But you couldn't see beneath her facade ( said my subconsious)

You raised your hand on her

You showed your anger on her

You broke her bones

You shredded her skin like that of a goat

But you made her feel less worthy than a whore

But you didn't even let her eat with her hand while she chocked on her food and tears mixed with the rice on the floor

Only to see her in pain

To quench your thirst

I couldn't feel my self anymore.... These thoughts have been in my mind since the day everything came out...

And here I'm locked up again in the dark as its the only one which is with me since the begining and embraced me for who I am....

Vihaan brought Kaira out from his luxurious limo. She wasn't even able to walk. Though he tried to contact arjun but he couldn't as arjun locked up himself and other than viraj and his PA, no one has dared to enter their boss room.

Kaira was limping as she was being mercilessly pulled by Vihaan. She wanted to get away from that place but she couldn't.... It's been days since she ate properly or has taken bath...

Never had she thought that Vihaan would give her out. Though she didn't let him know what she has done to lakshmi and he found it on his own , but somewhere she still believes that lakshmi deserves it....

Arjun was hers from the start and it was lakshmi who came in the middle.

All was going right....but it was this Vihaan who spoiled her plan of revenge. Though she is weak now but she is burning in anger for this man who abused her and raped her!

Vihaan knocked and waited until the buttler opened the door. The buttler bowed infront of him and moved aside. As soon as they both stepped inside, Kaira gasped and Vihaan was rooted to the ground for a couple of seconds in trance looking around the once humongous elegant mansion with crystal chandelier and dim yellow reflection on the persian white marbled floor is now trashed down as if a storm has occurred.

Everything is broken.

Almost everything....

Arjun was still in his room sitting on his chair and his eyes wandering into the darkest corner as if his life has lost its way.... Or maybe it was never in a 'way' at all.....

There was a knock on the door and he didn't respond. The buttler entered inside the room and tried to adjust his vision in the dark room as the old man couldn't find his master.

" Sir

Vihaan sir is here

He said me to convey the message that he has bought the one who is behind this " as soon as the old man spouted, arjun immediately got up from his chair , out of his room and went down the stairs in a faster pace....

' His team nor he was able to find the one behind this....but how did Vihaan find ? ' Though there were many doubts but they were clouded by anger and rage on the person for making his wife to go through unbearable pain in his own hands.

As soon as he entered the hall, he looked at Kaira who is in hold of Vihaan. Her face was badly bruised along with her hands and legs which weren't covered....

He moved slowly towards the both but stood a little far from them.

" arjun!

What have you done to yourself?

Leave it,

You wanted to know who hurt your wife right?

Here " he said and pushed Kaira infront and she fell on to the floor.

It didn't even take a second for arjun to move towards Kaira and make her stand by pulling her hair up.

" so you were the one? ha? " he screamed on her face and Kaira was trembling seeing his red eyes and his harsh tone. She wasn't able to answer him in fear. Arjun gripped her hair more tightly and jerked her to front of his face , to which she nodded 'yes' immediately with immense pain in her scalp.

" get her to the basement " arjun ordered loud enough for his maids to come and take her away.

Only he knows how much he is controlling himself before snapping her neck like a twig...

But not so soon...

He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around to look at Vihaan who is gloomy. " how did you come to know it was her? " arjun asked looking at Vihaan skeptically. He might be in pain but didn't lose his senses. He is a capo after all. No tricks or tactics can work on him except for this one....as emotions and betrayal from the loved one can cloud your judgemental side....especially when you were already broken ones....

" she initially asked me whether if I would help her breaking you both as she wanted you but I said no.

And I came to know later from my Men that lakshmi went missing so I doubted whether it was her doing.

I tapped on one of her phone and got the voice recordings in which she was ordering one of her man to put spy cams in your home and I guessed it out that she has a hand in this....

After a polishing her a bit,

She spoke out " Vihaan said reluctantly with a stoic face as always and arjun nodded.

" you can leave " arjun said and Vihaan patted his shoulder one more time and left.

' That bastard has his spies in my men. Does he think I am a fool to believe this baseless story ?

You've done a big mistake Vihaan...

by leaving Kaira to me and if I came to know that you are involved this then...'

He fisted harshly and his veins popped out.

Sounds of foot steps could be heard from a far distance in the basement and Kaira was shivering at the thought of arjun... But she knows what to do now... She planned out everything in this few minutes she is was left alone....

As soon as arjun's eyes landed on the woman who is sitting in the dimly lightened room with her hands and legs cuffed to the chair. He slowly went towards her....

Seeing fear in her eyes....

He sat in front of her and looked at her keenly for a few seconds and his orbs were blank displaying no emotions... Kaira was more scared of seeing this side of arjun which she never saw before...

" ar...arjun

It wasn't me

It was Vihaan who asked me to do.

Believe me, he said that he wants Lakshmi and he tempted me an offer of having you back....

Which were only dreams

but as soon as he offered me another chance to have you back so I did whatever he asked me to...

It was all his plan

Bel....believe me arjun

He forced me to accept it all infront of you, see he tortured me " Kaira said gesturing to her hands which had unhealed whip marks.

But still arjun was staring at her blankly.

" arjun

I'm your love

You are my boyfriend

I would never hurt you " Kaira said almost scared of even breathing... She is unable to assess what she is speaking... This darker side of him is constricting her throat....

But arjun is staring at her blankly still...

Kaira started perspiring excessively under his blank gaze...

" ar....arjun

She shouldn't have come between us...

We were meant to be together

It's okay now that..

That she has gone

We can...can be together...

I would never harm you arjun

I love you the most " Kaira said almost begging him with her words and restricted hands to see how much she cares about him....that only she can be with him and take care of him... One else to stand beside him except for her... She is made for him...

" on what basis did he threaten you ....kaira... ? " arjun asked looking into her eyes while Kaira's breath stuck in throat. Her brain was in a haywire unable to find out the correct reason and she looked back at him into his eyes and she knew now

That she is caught.

There is no escape.

She felt an immense pain in her hand and screamed loudly as the whole room echoed with her shrilling voice.

She looked down to see her hand bleeding and her index finger in arjun's hand. He looked at her finger turning it around and then looked back into her eyes with an empty gaze....

He is a psycho

He is a maniac

Before Kaira could utter a word, another crunching sound was heard as he cut her thumb finger and laid it beside her index finger on her lap.

Kaira was crying with the immense pain that was shooting up her hands and into her spine. She was unable to retain her consciousness...

Arjun cleaned the cutter and laid it on the wall in its place near the door , while in the middle of the room he left behind the unconscious woman whose fingers were laying in her lap and the floor painted red with her blood pouring down in the dimly lit room and the door shut slowly when he left .
