Author's POV:

"I won't let my daughter go with you! You're a monster. I couldn't believe that I married my innocent daughter to a pure psychopath. I'll file for divorce tomorrow, now leave!!!",her father yelled at Akshat after seeing her daughter's bruises while she was sobbing hard while cladding to her mother's bosom.

"Don't put up your fucking emotional drama in front of me. She'll come with me and that's final! I'm also gonna see who has the guts to defy me",he said clenching his fists and immediately barged towards Aranya, forcefully grabbing her wrists and started dragging her along with him.

"Leave her Akshat Malhotra otherwise I'll call the cops!",his father replied in a challenging tone while blocking his way.

He started chuckling loudly and replied in a murderous tone "Don't challenge me you b*stard! Don't forget that it was me only who send you inside jail twelve years ago for murdering my father but tsk tsk I'm not satisfied with that. You snatched my father away from me so now I'll snatch your daughter away from you! Than it'll be a fairplay. Now move aside!",he growled.

"I'll not let you snatch my daughter away from me. Take her over my dead body",his father yelled but immediately a loud gun shot was heard followed by the shriek of Aranya and her family. He shot her father in his right arm and he immediately collapsed on the floor with crimson red liquid oozing out of his wound.

"What have you done you sick monster!! You shot my father!! I'll kill you!", Aranya said shaking in fury and pain with her eyes burning like lava and lunged towards him and immediately scratched his face with her nails digging inside his flesh, as deep as she could till his face become all bloodied. Immediately his eyes grew dark and he was looking like a bloodthirsty beast whose eyes held only one feeling, Hate. Immense Hate was all he was feeling right now towards Aranya who was crying bitterly holding the palm of her father while Neel immediately called the ambulance while glaring at Akshat but he couldn't do anything because he was way too young and powerless to save his family.

Grabbing Aranya by her hair from behind, he started dragging her mercilessly towards his car while she was trying her best to resist him by hitting him with her fists, biting and scratching him but it had no effect on the beast. Finally roughly throwing her in the car like a rag doll, he started the engine and hurriedly pulled his car towards the mansion.

"I hate you pig!!! You deserve hell!! Why'd you hurt him when you have me? I was ready to come with you than why?? Answer me you malicious jerk!!",she shouted while crying her heart out. He immediately banged his fist against the headboard and stopped the car in the middle of a deserted street. Pulling her roughly by her hair, he landed repeated two punches sideways on her cheeks till her cheeks got swollen and her lips started bleeding profusely...

Her breath became shallow and black dots started appearing in her vision. She started losing her strength of resisting him and slowly darkness started consuming her...

"F#ck NO!!! Aranya open your eyes! Aranya, Please baby!!",he started tapping her cheeks frantically but she wasn't opening her eyes neither responding. Carrying her limp body upto his car, he drove towards his mansion, cursing all the way in frustration.

She woke up groaning with the sound of the alarm clock buzzing on the bedside table. As she fluttered her eyes open, a sharp pain shot through her face and her right arm. Instantly last night's horrible incident started flashing in front of her eyes and she immediately bursted into tears, sobbing bitterly over her pathetic situation where she wasn't even able to save her father...

As she tried to slip out of the covers, she realised that a large and bulky arm was draping around her waist. Immediately anger started bubbling inside her seeing him sleeping profoundly with no worry etched on his face even after doing so much of things...

She immediately got out of the bed and bringing a bucket of cold icy water, she poured it all over his body and immediately he woke up with a jerk and before he could yell bitch, she landed a loud slap on his face and said "I will never forgive you for what you did with me and my family and if you think that you can crumble me up like a piece of paper just because I'm a woman than your completely wrong because till my last breath, I'll never surrender myself to you. Get this thing straight in your head Bastard!!"

"ARANYA, listen darling!! Last time I spared you but this time, no one's gonna save you now!! Who'll listen to your screams? The wall itself itself will turn deaf", he spat tightening his fist looking at her wobbling lips indicating that she could break down at any moment.

"Come on! Who's stopping you! Come, beat me like a shit, slap me as much as you want, tear my body apart or even f*ck me till I lose my consciousness or more slit my throat and burn me alive! Why'd you stopped? Come on! I'm giving you an Open challenge Mr. Malhotra that f**king torture my soul to death!! But remember one thing that I'm also Aranaya Agarwal, daughter of Mr. Vijay Agrawal Who'll never ever accept your slavery even if it'll cost her life. I'll take my life but I'll never stoop in front of you",she yelled, shaking in fury while tears kept rolling down her cheeks...

He stared at her attitude with a pure shock. He felt like someone has punched him in the gut.

"D-dad I-I'm so sorry that I c-couldn't s..save you from h-his brutal a..attack. I'm r... really sorry. I know that I'm a b-bad daughter...b-but please o-open your eyes d-dad for once,please...",Aranaya was bitterly crying in the ICU while holding her father's hand who was unconscious for past 10 hours due to the intense blood loss. Her mother was also sitting beside her who was repeatedly patting her back, consoling her while she herself was in an emotional turmoil.

"Mum, wh-what's the total c...cost of his treatment?",she suddenly asked in a shaky voice.

"You don't need to worry about it. I'll arrange anyhow"

"Mum!!! Don't lie! After my bullshit wedding, y-you were already suffering from f-financial crisis! You had already s-spent too much of your money t-that you even had to t-take loan!",she replied crying all over again.

"Don't talk rubbish! You don't earn money and from where will you arrange? Will you beg in front of him?",her mother rebuked.

"It's none of y-your concern mum. A-afterall I'm sole responsible for dad's c-condition and..."

"I said not a word more Aranaya! I think you should step back home, now. It's already been an hour since you're here. I'll call you when he'll gain his consciousness",her mother replied sternly...

"But mum..."

"Are you a doctor,huh or god itself? Listen to what I'm saying and go back to your home!!"

She immediately left the ward with a heavy heart and started walking towards the exit when suddenly her legs froze and turning towards the counter, she asked the receptionist "Excuse me...Can you please tell me the expense of the treatment of a patient, Mr. Vijay Agrawal, admitted yesterday in the ICU? I'm his daughter! Here's the identity proof!",she hesitantly replied passing her Identity Card in case she refused to disclose the patient's details to her.

"Wait a minute miss! What's your name?",she asked.

"Ms. Aranaya Agarwal! It's already written on the card"

After few seconds, she said "6.8 lakhs and including the meds charges, it'll be around 7.2 lakhs"

The ground beneath her feet slipped instantly after hearing the fee charge. From where will she arrange such big amount? It was a big question now!! Finally thinking about it for so long, she jumped on the conclusion of selling her jewelleries. Afterall they were worthless for her when compared to the precious life of his dad.
