Chapter - 4

Author's Pov.:-

The room is filled with drop-dead silence. A huge portrayal of Lord Shiva is making the room a holy place. The royal interiors of the room are highlighting the luxury of the man. Three people are present in the room. A man is sitting on a royal chair with his legs crossed and resting on the table. A cigar between his fingers resting. A huge amount of smoke is puffed out from his mouth as his frown deepens looking into the space.

" King, your tea " Rohan(jeevika) served the king his tea. Nodding at him he took his cup and took a sip. To his surprise, Rohan makes a nice tea. Niven has never allowed anyone besides Druv in his office unless it's regarding business, then why he allowed Rohan in his office?

It's been two days since Theodore and Jeevika's last incident. Without any attempts, Jeevika has gotten Niven's eyes. His eagle eyes stay glued on her all the time. Niven was a very possessive man and since Theodore offered to give Rohan(Jeevika) to him in exchange for a deal Niven has become over-attentive towards Jeevika.

Only if he knew that Rohan is not a man but a woman named Jeevika then he would have made her life hell. Nevertheless, Theodore wanted to scare Jeevika so that out of fear she agreed to his terms but he didn't know that he asked for a lion's attention on her without his knowledge. Moreover, Jeevika is over the moon because she gets to do decent work now. As long as Theodore is not bothering her and she doesn't get to guard the brothel area she's happy. She's relieved that the king hasn't doubted her yet and she's making sure to not give him any reason either.

Today Niven has asked Jeevika to help his secretary Druv because Niven has decided to promote Rohan(Jeevika) his PA and for that he asked Druv to train Rohan. However, Rohan isn't aware of it yet. Niven was having dinner when Niven said " You too take your seat and have your food with us "

Jeevika gasped like a fish out of the water due to shock. For the past two days, Niven is giving her shock after shock. 'what is wrong with the king? How can I eat with him? Even Druv is also standing at the corner who is his right hand then why he's asking me to join the table? ' Jeevika frowned looking at Druv for help. Of course, Druv was jealous and insecure about his position, therefore, he chose to ignore Rohan's help-seeking gaze. Hidden anger is clear in his eyes. Poor Jeevika has stuck in a deep mess without her knowledge.

" Young Man, I'm not a patient man. I'm running out of my patience so, it would be better if you sit your ass on this dam chair and you too Druv. " Niven said making himself a plate. They all had their dinner with lost minds, Niven was thinking about what else he should do to keep Rohan by his side because losing a loyal man will be a huge loss to him. He's aware that Rohan hasn't shown any interest in joining Theodore's territory yet he's insecure because he knows how tricky mind Wrights are blessed. It won't take him a minute to force Rohan to choose his side. Niven is in a field whereby having loyal people only then you can earn and grow. Therefore losing a single loyal man will cost him a huge loss. On the other hand, Druv is planning to wipe out Rohan from this earth because he is a threat to him. Meanwhile, Rohan(jeevika) is lost in her past day's incident.

Jeevika's day went fine from there, at 2 am her shift was over, however, when she was going to her home some people were following her. Her sixth sense came to an alert and she ran in the opposite direction of her home. ' Who there people are? Why they are chasing me? ' Jeevika thought running for her life and heard their furious and heavy footsteps getting closer. She picks up her speed nevertheless she couldn't disappear into the air. There was no traffic, not even a single vehicle to which she can seek help. The road was silent to her dismay and the night was cold. Panic rose into her veins finding no way of escape. ' Mother, please help me out! ' Jeevika sought help from her mother.

Running through a dark and shabby alley Jeevika entered a construction area. Dusty and spider webs welcomed her. The place was shut down and there was no trace of any single living. Untidy and horrible-looking building freakout Jeevika. Nevertheless, Jeevika thought of hiding there. Climbing the multiple stairs she eventually found a safe place to hide. Her body was shivering poorly. Her uneven breaths were audible in the drop-dead silent building. Her wide horror-filled eyes squeezed tightly when she heard them entering the same floor. In an attempt of hiding in the darkness, Jeevika balled herself. Her palmed stuck over her mouth in an attempt of killing her screams in her mouth. She has the strength of knocking down a man or two but she can't handle this big crowd of men at once.

She palmed her mouth when she saw them standing right before her. However, none have seen her yet all because she is hidden safely there. Without making any voice their leader signaled them to divide into three three-member groups and search. Her wide eyes managed to count them, they were fifteen men in total and all have covered their faces with clothes. Nevertheless, all were looking brutal to Jeevika. Their physical power seemed higher than Jeevika's. Lp

" Where are you, young boy? I know you're hidden here. Keep hiding because if any of us find you then you'll be a long-gone case! Haha! " the leader laughed causing Jeevika to have a semi-heart attack. Her soul seemed to leave her body out of horror. ' Why these people are after me? Is it that Man's doing? ' Jeevika thought and concluded its Theodore's doing.

" Boss he's not there " one man came running to him and after some time all groups came and gave the same response pissing off the boss. He remembered seeing him entering the building. He must be hiding somewhere in this building only but where? Nevertheless, he smirked looking around the floor he was standing. " Break every fucking thing here. He's hiding in here " as the boss said the men started to knock things down from their metal rods.

*Bang*

' Papa! ' Jeevika shrinks in her place while shutting her eyes tightly. Her body is drenched with sweat and badly trembling.

*Bang*

' Maa! ' Jeevika's soul jumped into her body when another blow was thrown on the container boxes knocking them down. Jeevika's ears became numb with lots of banging and voices. Soon half of the floor turned into a mess.

" Come out boy. We're running out of our patients " the boss yelled kicking the container boxes. Jeevika's eyes turned glassy after all, who won't see such a horrible death before their eyes?

Badly petrified Jeevika prayed to her mother for the last time before getting out of her hidden shell before those goons knock down the containers and hit her in the process.

Her girly scream confused those goons when a goon attempt to hit her but she knocked him down with a brick. After that, she jumped down the staircase and run for her life followed by the goons. As Jeevika ran to the other side of the building to get out of that place her heart ache due to the run after all, she isn't a runner. Her system burnt while she gasp catching her breath. Nevertheless, she didn't stop running.

Catching up with Jeevika, those goons were just 100 meters away from her. Those goons threw their rods at her hitting her on her back but she ran just ran for her life. Soon she found herself on the railway track. A goon finally made his run to catch up with Jeevika, she was tackled down by him making her scream from the top of her lung, and with wildness to save herself she hit him with a rock across his face and made a run without looking back. Other goons became furious seeing their mate bleeding face. Furiously they ran after her while stumbling on the rocks.

Her ankle was injured due to the jump yet she ignored it and ran with difficulty on the railway track, however, this time the rod made contact with her head and caused serious damage. A scream left her mouth and a lone tear fell from her left eye. All her hopes of coming alive from this seemed to lose now. Her weak body falls on the pointed rock making her bleed. Out of horror, she scrolls back to form as much as the possible distance between them. Horror was visible in her glassy eyes. With a crying face, she scrolled back. She knows it's worthless for expecting mercy from these Inhumans yet she decides to push her luck.

She hates herself for being so weak and helpless to beg them for mercy yet she begged them " Please spare my life. What wrong I have done to you people? Please let me go. God will bless you all just let me go. " She can see them standing 3-4 hands distance away and smirking at her cruelly.

Jeevika shouldn't have opened her mouth. Opening her mouth was the biggest mistake of her life. Those goons were surprised and lost in deep analysis because this man is a guy but the way his voice sounded is a girl's voice. They communicate together through their eyes.

Before anyone could do or say anything a train came to its full speed in their direction. Jeevika was quick to take action. She hurriedly rolled over and came to the other side of the railway track on which after 5 seconds the train run. Jeevika was the other side and those goons were another. Grabbing the opportunity Jeevika ran for her life and this time she hide in a good place. The whole night those goons continued to search for Jeevika meanwhile Jeevika slept like a baby in Lord Shiva's temple.

Upon reaching her home Jeevika found her father sitting right before the door with worry dripping face. Finding his daughter before his sight he hugged her and said " where were you the whole night? I was worried for you. Did something happen? "

" What happened to you? Where you got this injury? " Ram questioned his daughter who has a bruise on her forehead and face. She was limbing as well causing her father to picture the worst scenery. "Nothing happened to me. Some goons were chasing me so I hide. You tell me are you fine? " Jeevika cleared her father's misunderstanding and told him the whole incident.

" Take care my child and be careful for the next time. Take a day off for today. I'm not getting good vibes from yesterday " Ram said to his daughter who said " I need to freshen up first father. I'm all good. You're stressing yourself for no reason. In this city, such encounters are pretty common. However, I promise I'll take care of myself and will be extra attentive to my surroundings "

Jeevika tried to make her father understand and made him calm down. He was anxious for her and, especially for her safety. He even asked her to file a complaint however Jeevika turned down the suggestion. Both father and daughter fought for more until Jeevika's stomach grumbled out of hunger.

Meanwhile, somewhere in a silent luxurious room, a man is standing before a tv screen. He's looking pissed with the live news telecast. The smoke of the cigar has clouded the room meanwhile two men are waiting for his attention. " Speak!" the man said crushing down his cigar and looking at the two men with raised bows.

" Boss, The work is undone. He managed to escape. However, we have discovered something strange " the man said to his boss and showed him a clip. Upon watching the clip the man laughed just like a monster passing chill into everyone's veins. His emotionless eyes sparked with dark aura and evilness before he stood up and shoot both men dead without any hesitation.

" Clean this mess "ordered his working staff as he washed his hands.

Walking to his car, he drove to his workplace. Everyone bowed at him as he entered his workplace. His walk screamed power and respect. The dark and odd odor of the place pumps up his veins with power. Crossing the beautiful brightening glass interior hall, he climbed the stairs. His long cold fingers traced the historical patterns over the reeling as he made his way to the last step. Running his fingers through his messy hair he combed them and smirked with pride. There's excitement running into his system. Seems like he was never this happy and excited before.

With two knocks on the dark black wood door, he entered inside and said " Good evening King. I've got bad news for you "

" Someone got a death wish to be bad news to me! " the king snapped and lit up his cigar. His face seemed to be neutral, there was no worry on his face. " Speak up Druv. What you've gotten for me? " the King said getting up from his chair and looming down at the city with coldness. He hates everything about this city yet he rules this city like a king.

" Look at this king " Druv played a clip. In the beginning, the king was furious because who dare to lay their hands on his man, however, next what his ears heard made the table turn. The fury reaches its peak. His veins popped out in anger. Meanwhile, Druv breathed in relief and added " such people should be taught a good lesson so that no one ever dares to double-cross us "

" and this guy double cross you, king. He made a fool out of all of us! It was my men who shared this clip and I came right away to you. This person can be a spy. We did a mistake by letting him get close and let him enter the office" Druv put oil to light up fire.

" It's not him! It's her, fucking damitt! Rohan is a woman! " the king yelled and the place turned cold in a snap.
