She changed into a pair of her Anarkali dress, she already had here. She was tired from sleep last night. She was uncomfortable as she sat in front of her dresser. She looked outside of the window to find the dark clouds again in the sky.

Why is it raining so much these days? It's not very common. She leaned her elbow on the window feeling the cold wind brushing her long hair. She closed her eyes feeling the sensation immediately his face came in front of her eyes. Her lips parted not liking this effect at all. She opened her eyes immediately taking a deep breath when her eyes caught something.

She saw some men dressed in all black like his guards on the corner of the street.

She felt fear overpowering her nerves as she took a step back before running out of the room. No, she wasn't returning back not right now when she knew how dangerous he was.

"Chachi, I need to go", she spoke moving to the living room as she was the only one home today as everybody else was out for work.

"Where? Is Arjun here?", Her Chachi asked at once making her scared as she shook her head.

"If you want to go out for a walk then I would say it's the perfect weather to go out. You know the way to the park right or I should accompany you", Her Chachi asked softly. Tara knew it was dangerous to take her Chachi with her firstly her feet were swollen because of some allergy secondly her instincts could feel his presence around her closer than ever.

She felt the same in the past few days but now it was more intense. She moved out of the big door of the mansion looking around. She tried to cover her face with her dupatta but the shivering in her hands wasn't helping her anyway so she only did what her instincts told her.

She ran as fast as she could through the familiar streets. Her breathing was sharp but she couldn't think of a practical solution to get out of her problematic life.

She reached a grassy land where she used to visit with her father and Chachu in her childhood with her brothers to play but the happy feeling she felt then wasn't there this time she ended up stumbling on her steps falling on her knees hurting her elbows as well. Her eyes started getting watery as she tried to stand up but her knees were hurting too much.

She took a deep breath before standing up when she heard tires screeching voice which made her turn.

Within a few moments, she was surrounded by seven expensive cars. She tried to find a way to run but found none. She couldn't believe what was happening. It was like they were waiting for her to take a step and then they would do what they were planning.

A man in black got down from the driving seat. She knew him. He was her husband's most trusted bodyguard and chauffeur. Her eyes followed him who moved to the back and opened the door of the back seat. She stared at the car with fear clearly visible in her eyes. She knew what was coming but was too scared to take another step.

The man wearing grey pants with a black long overcoat got down the car with his black shiny shoes telling their worth silently. She stumbled back on her steps falling back finding the man she ran away from in front of her looking no less than a devil with his silent composure. His hair was pushed back in a messy way.

"What did I tell you, Baby?", he asked in a calm voice taking predatory steps towards her. She looked down with teary eyes knowing his sadistic ways.

He scrunch down to her level as she fisted her long Anarkali suit in fear.

"I asked you something", he asked in the same calm voice but she knew he was losing his calm.

"So...Sorry", she sobbed softly stuttering miserably.

"I did ask you something not your sorry. Keep your damn sorry to yourself", he hissed in a low voice making her flinch.

"T..to be at h..home w..waiting f..for y..you whenever you c..come b..back h..home", she stuttered with teary eyes sobbing in mid.

He closed his eyes finally losing his calm. His hands went back pulling her hair making her look at him.

"Don't. Don't look down when you are talking to me. Look in my eyes. I am seeing you for so long, you are being very brave these days", he asked as she cried looking into his chilly eyes.

"Tell me something who is behind this bravery of yours", He asked pulling her hair more harshly.

She cried before pushing him away from her which was something he was not expecting as his hold loosen up against her.

"I don't want to stay with you anymore. You are so harsh on me always. You say you love me but I never feel your love. Papa Ji loves Mummy Ji so much. He treats her with so much respect and you just threaten me", she cried wiping her face but again more tears fall down her eyes.

"Don't do that again", he thundered making her flinch. He held her shoulders making her look directly in her eyes.

"My mother did horrible things in her life taking advantage of my father's love and care and when did I threaten you? No baby no there you are very wrong. I never gave a threat to you. I always told you the result of your actions", he told her before holding her elbow and pulling her with him to his car.

"No... Please... I won't ever show my face to you... Let me go... Please...", she cried pulling her hands from his grip but to no avail. He pushed her inside the car on the passenger seat closing the door with a bang and putting on the child lock immediately as she tried to open the door.

He got inside soon after on the driving seat driving at a high speed to the hell, he called home. The place where his grandmother got married. The place where his grandfather lived before shifting to Udaipur.

"Please", She pleaded looking at him joining her hands in front of him.

"Not a word", he told her in a slow cold voice making her sob. He drives inside the silent mansion driveway making her shiver in fear. He stopped the car in front of the large entry pulling her with him inside the house. She pulled her hands but he was not ready to leave her. This place was unknown to her which made her more scared as her attempts to get away from him increased but to no avail.

"I am so sorry, please", she apologized when he reached a certain room throwing her on the bed.

"I am not even doing anything, baby", he told her as she hiccuped.

"Shh...", he hugged her patting her back and comforting her. She held the end of his coat crying on his chest as her body shook uncontrollably.

"Shh... I am not doing anything to you", he mumbled in her ear making her lie on the bed hugging her soft body as she cried on his chest. He could feel the shiver in her body and her sobs were clear to his ears. Soon the sobs changed into whimpers as her tired body lay in his arms.

"I am not doing anything to you yet", he whispered wiping her red face and pushing her hair strand behind her ear.

She woke up feeling pain in her lower back. She rubbed her face to get rid of the sleepiness before looking around. There was darkness outside the window except for the small yellow light in the room. She felt scared in the new surrounding and then knowing that her husband brought her here made everything scarier for her.

She removed the bedsheet covering her before putting her feet on the floor shivering lightly feeling the cold marble floor feeling like a sheet of ice under her feet. She looked down checking for some footwear to slip on but found nothing. She pushed her hair back moving out of the room controlling the coldness she felt. The moment she left the room, a soft melody touched her ears.

She frowned feeling the melody to be mysterious and intriguing. She found the stairs from where he forcefully took her upstairs. The melody was coming from downstairs and she couldn't see the person playing it though she did have an idea about this person she couldn't believe he could actually play an instrument.

She slowly walked down the curvy majestic stairs, the marble extremely cold for her sensitive feet.

And if the strange surroundings aren't enough, the whole mansion was dark with only few sources of light. For the living room, it was the chandelier on the left of which the piano was kept. The darkness made the place look more mysterious and dangerous.

The moment she reached the last stair, she could see the piano clearly. Her eyes traced her husband's back who was all dedicated to playing at the moment. His toned upper body was covered with an exclusive white shirt while black pants dressed his lower body which consist of his strong legs as he continued playing.

She was scared to move closer to this devil knowing how much anger is bubbling in his nerves but knew for a fact that he wanted her to come closer and this person wants everything according to his wishes and demands.

Suddenly the melody which was all calming turned faster making her know that he knew about her presence. She slowly moved closer to him in a daze as well with fear overcrowding her senses. It was like the story of that mouse and pied piper. She followed him like the number of mouses who followed the pied piper.

She finally reached the place where he sat clearly visible to him, his eyes moved up stopping at her face immediately as she stared at him in nervousness and fear. Fear of his anger and was nervous about her own reaction to his anger.

His eyes had the tendency to make her scared as well as weak in her knees at the same time. She wasn't aware why the thing was like this but this was how things work for her when he looked at her like that.

"You slept well?", he asked ending up what he was playing much to her disagreement. She nodded lightly waiting for his outburst about how she left him and how she didn't know who he was. But nothing much happened.

"I ordered dinner from outside. It's your favorite Dal Makhni, Kadhai Panner, Naan, and Badaam Milk(Almond milk)", he spoke pointing at the long dining table which was decorated with numerous candles and the food in the middle cleanly placed. She looked at him in a confusion about why he was behaving so properly not the way he behaved in the morning.

"I called your Chachi telling her about me picking you up", he told her holding her hand and taking her to the chair making her sit on it before moving to sit beside her.

"I was confused about what to get for Sweets so I ordered both ice cream and Jalebi have what you like", he told her serving the food in her plate. This was the moment when she felt the guilt overpowering her senses. She left him somehow did hurt him as well and he was treating her this properly.

But the logical side of her brain told her to not believe in the things visible. It was Arjun Khurana, they were talking about. He does everything for a reason what if his main objective is to make her feel guilty for her act after all that would be the best punishment he could give her.

"Our nephew was having a fever", he suddenly said making her look up at him with worry.

"How do you know and what happened?", she asked in worry feeling scared at once.

"Nothing but vaccination you see. He is doing much better now after the medicines though you know kids get cranky because of the swelling and pain", he told her sipping on his fruit juice.

"I need to talk to him", she spoke at once not really in the mood of listening to anything. Her Chiku wasn't well and this thing was enough to make her lose her mental piece.
