Nina was trying to sleep, but she couldn't. She had so many things in her head that it made her restless, eating away her sleep. She got up from the bed.

"God! Why can't I sleep?" She muttered, frustrated.

Her eyes then fell on Lucian who was snoring loudly and the sounds of the snore were echoing in the room.

"So, the monster snores," she rolled her eyes.

She stood up and walks towards Lucian's bed. He was sleeping peacefully and it felt like even an atomic explosion could wake him up now.

"He sleeps like a dinosaur," she giggled and then walked out of the room.

As she got out, she was surprised. The entire mansion was silent as if no one lived here. She hasn't seen it in such a silence earlier so it made her think that is something wrong here.

"Where's everyone? Guards always stroll this place then," she looked here and there in search of guards.

Yes, she didn't like the place because of obvious reasons but she knew that she had to live here for at least a few months even if she

    After burning Edward Alive, Lucian looked at his ashes. A drop of tear peeked out through his eyes.Wilson noticed that."Boss, are you okay?" Wilson tapped Lucian's shoulders."I don't know," Lucian sighed, shifting his haze from the ashes."You can tell me about everything, boss," Wilson replied with a mild smile."I know that," Lucian replied, "it's just that."At that moment, Nina's face appeared in front of him."That woman, Nina... She is changing me slowly," Lucian ratified. "What?" Wilson was surprised."Hmm... You know, when I saw Jasper taking care of Edward and then I saw Nina's face, her fearful eyes, trembling lips, shivering body, drops of tear in her cheeks, I felt the rage to let Jasper handle him," Lucian looked at Wilson."Jasper?" Wilson was surprised."Jasper would have killed Edward just by hammering him as much as he could. The pain would be unbearable to Edward and it would be gruesome. I wanted to let Jasper do that because in no way I was letting Edward go aw

    A few days passed by, Nina took some time to recover from whatever Edward did to her, but just because Jasper stood by her side, she was able to recover fully and retained her true self. Also, this wouldn't have been possible if Lucian hadn't behaved properly. As he promised, he didn't raise his hand on Nina despite her badmouthing him, he kept his patience. On the other hand, Jasper's treatment was progressing. Lucian too met with the doctor for a couple of days just to understand what's going on with his brother. And as Dr Issac stated about Jasper's condition to Lucian, he felt remorse for treating Jasper in such a bad way, for not caring him enough, for letting him suffer and for the first time, for not listening to Rebecca. The care Lucian had for his brother before everything went wrong between them was returning now. Lucian took great care of Jasper and Jasper, he slowly started behaving nicely with Lucian, maybe not forgiving him for what he did, but still, accepting him as

    "Jas... Jas... Listen to me... Calm down... I am here, with you. Calm down, baby," Nina caressed Jasper's hairs and tried her best to calm him down as Jasper was crying bitterly. Jasper held Nina tight, as he kept on crying. While Nina patiently consoled him. The remembrances of everything that he endured, the remorse he felt after committing the offences, the way he was being manipulated and everything else was bestowing him immense pain and he let all that pain shake out through his tears and cries. Lucian waited desperately outside Jasper's room for Nina to come out. He was getting impatient after every passing minute."Why isn't she coming out," she scoffed.Mohit was worried about Jasper and Nina. He believed that Nina could calm him and provide him with the support he needed. But he was scared that what if Lucian sees them and suspects something else. How would he react to it?"It's enough, I am going in," Lucian shrugged and went towards the room."Wait, Mr Frederick," Dr Is

    "Very good... Just remember if you defy me, I can destroy your entire existence," Rebbeca warned Nina."Ye... Yes ma'am," Nina stuttered.Rebecca hung up the call while Nina kept her phone aside. "What kind of a mess am I in?" She felt like crying but controlled her tears.

She picked it up and started reading it.'Hey, I think whatever you said, it was right. A shitty past doesn't give me a license to behave in such a way in the present. But

    Lucian glared at Nina when she said that and then she noticed his deadly stare and stopped laughing. She held her mouth close with her hands."Oops, I should go," she spoke and then ran away from the room."Hey wait," Lucian spoke, but by then, she had already escaped the room.Lucian then sighed and thought about her crazy words."She is cute," he told himself.The next day, Nina went to the city for the first time after her wedding. She wasn't allowed to leave the mansion for a second, but now, she was roaming in the city, alone and freely. First of all, she went to her favourite cafe for lunch. She met a few friends there. They were their office colleagues."So, where have you been? Mrs Linda told us you're working from home," Sasha, one of her friends asked."Shit happens. So yeah," Nina avoided saying the actual reason. "Come on, what do you think? You can hide it from us? We know that you married Lucian Frederick," Emily teased her.Nina scoffed after hearing this, but she dec

    The moment Jasper saw them in such a compromised situation. He couldn't believe it. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, just to see them kissing for real.Tears started flooding in his eyes as he tried his best not to cry. But could he even stop himself? He pressed his mouth with his palms in order to refrain himself from making any noise. He couldn't believe that Nina would do such a thing to him. On the other hand, Lucian finally got to taste Nina's lips with her consent and it tasted extraordinary. He found himself in such a position where he was lacking air but wasn't able to pause or stop kissing her. He didn't want to leave those lips even for a second. He pulled Nina closer and kissed her passionately. He willingly nibbled Nina's lower lip as she let out a moan. When she parted her lips, he entered his tongue into her mouth, tasting every inch of her mouth.But Nina had her eyes close, it felt like whatever Lucian was doing to her, she was uncomfortable and unwilling.

    After a couple of hours, Nina found herself lying on the bathroom floor, shivering in cold. She had fallen unconscious due to crying too much.She somehow managed to get up, dry herself up with a towel and slowly walked out of the bathroom. As she entered the room, she saw Lucian, sleeping peacefully with a smile plastered on his face. That smile made her realise that no matter how hard she tried, how hard she fought, in the end, she had to give up, she had to lose this battle.Tears started streaming down from her eyes once again. But this time, she couldn't make any noise. She had to cry silently. She somehow picked up her clothes from the floor, wore them and walked towards her bed. She was shivering badly because she felt cold and the temperature of the AC was low as well. She wrapped herself nicely with her quilt and wept to sleep. But was it even possible that she could have a good night sleep?The next morning, Lucian slowly opened his eyes, waking himself up just to see Nin

    Jasper spent his time sitting quietly in his room, that's when Mohit barged in. "Jasper," Mohit. mumbled.Jasper turned towards him."Yeah?" He responded."You haven't had your breakfast," Mohit spoke."I am not in the mood, Mohit. Please," Jasper replied."Bro, please? You have to take your medicines and Dr Issac will be here anytime soon for your therapy," Mohit spoke."What will I do with the therapy, Mohit?" Jasper looked at Mohit.His eyes depicted pure pain, and the harshness of his words prove that."Why are you saying like that?" Mohit retaliated."No, then tell me, what should I say? Okay, Mohit, I will have my breakfast and then take my medicines like a good kid. Seriously?" Jasper snapped."Anything happened brother?" Mohit was completely surprised by Jasper's actions."Nothing, there is no need for the medicines anymore," Jasper's voice broke. "Tell me, what happened," Mohit responded in a demanding voice."You were right. You were fucking right, Mohit," tears rolled do

    2 weeks later Nina's old apartment, "I am going to meet Lucian today," Nina spoke as she was getting ready for office. "Lucian? Don't you have work today?" Jasper asked as he stood in front of her. "I have. I will meet him after work," Nina answered. "But baby, your therapy sessions?" His tone was concerned. "I can miss one. I am feeling better, I will move on, don't worry," she answered with a smile. "He was the reason for your trauma and because of him you have to go for therapy," he spoke in an irritated tone. "I know and that's why I have to go. We need closure, Jas," Nina tried to make him understand. Jasper nodded and then mildly smiled. "Okay. But if anything goes wrong, you will call me," he told her. "Do you think anything can go wrong?" Nina curiously asked her. "Nah, he is a changed man now," Jasper smiled. "He is," she nodded. In the Prison Nina was waiting in the meeting room when Lucian arrived. "Hey," Nina smiled uncomfortably. "Hey," Lucian responded

    The policemen slowly started approaching Lucian's mansion. Since Lucian was a mafia, he had three-level security of guards and anyone would have to cross these three levels of security to enter. Cctv cameras, more than fifty armed guards, a group of bouncers and many other. The security level wasn't this high earlier but it had to be increased after Edward attacked Nina. Now the police force had to cross these security levels without giving a single hint to Lucian about their arrival, they didn't want him to run away. So they slowly snuck into the property, killing the guards from behind and hiding from the cameras. It was tough, but it wasn't impossible for them because they had been trained in such a way. On the other hand, Jasper approached Mohit with a hammer in his hand. Rebecca was scared but she couldn't do anything as Lucian and Nina had tied her up. Nina and Lucian looked worried about Jasper's upcoming actions and both of them just prayed for one thing, this doesn't aris

    2 police vans stopped near the hideout area of Lucian's mansion. All the policemen got down from the van slowly without making much noise. They were armed and fully prepared to attack. "Listen, we all will have to get low and proceed slowly. We can take as much time as we can," the superintendent of police commanded in a meek voice. "Yes sir," the officers agreed. "And remember, we have to try to arrest him not encounter him. Arresting would be great as we can extract so much information from him that can help us to get whatever we want," the superintendent spoke and the others nodded. "So now, let's go," he signalled to all of them and then they spread around the boundaries of the entire mansion. Willing to attack it from all the sides and then slowly proceeded towards it. "Lucian. Can you give me your phone?" Nina asked, confusing him more. Lucian looked at him, confused but then passed the phone to her. Nina dialled Mohit's number and called her. "Hello, hello... Mohit,"

    "Mom," Jasper sighed."As expected... You," Nina scoffed."Yes, me," Rebecca glared and then walked towards Nina.Nina stood in her place, although she was scared, she had decided that she won't let her fears win over her anymore, no matter what happens, she won't let that happen.Rebecca stood in front of Nina and snatched the hammer from her hands. Nina was looking at Rebecca with confusing eyes while Rebecca's eyes emitted pure anger.And the next moment, a slap landed on Nina's face."Mom," Jasper shrieked."Shut up, Jasper," Rebecca ordered his son to be quiet and Jasper obeyed.She then turned towards Nina along with her deadly glare."How dare you to harm my son," Rebecca roared."Because he deserves that," Nina confidently replied."Oh! He deserves that? Who are you to decide that? Answer me," Rebecca shouted again.Rebecca's voice had such aura that it could scare anyone present there. And because of that, Nina was scared, although she didn't let her fear take over her, she

    "Lucian...no..." Nina cried out as Lucian pushed him into the bed.She was struggling hard to get out of his grip, but she was unable to. Lucian had already torn off the arms of her top, and he was trying to strip away her clothes. Nina was struggling, punching him, kicking him, pushing him just to get away from him, but she wasn't getting success in it. He proved himself to be much more strong than her."Lucian, leave me... You can't do this. Kill me...but don't do this to me please," Nina pleaded. Her cries echoed in the entire room but it seemed like madness rushed through his veins. He wasn't affected by her cries, all he could feel that he was unable to make her fall in love with him. He was unable to accept his defeat and that's why he wasn't going to let her go. He wanted Nina as his trophy and now, her consent didn't matter to him anymore. He just wanted her for him, completely."Lucian... leave," Nina shouted at the top of her voice. "Not till I make you mine," Lucian groan

    "Who told you about this?" Lucian growled."I am Jasper's best friend. I know," Mohit replied "Mohit, remember one thing. If this turns out to be a lie, I would end your petty life with my hands and trust me, your death would be so torturous that would scare even the grim reaper," Lucian threatened in a coarse voice."Sir, even if I am Jasper's best friend, I have always remained loyal to you," Mohit answered in a trembling voice. "Great. Then answer me one more thing," Lucian taunted. Mohit looked at Lucian as he shivered in fear."Since when?" Lucian asked.Mohit went quiet. He didn't utter a word and looked at the ground."I asked... Since when?" Lucian's voice thundered in the entire house, leaving everyone shriek in fear."The day... The day after... after your wedding," Mohit answered in a trembling voice.Lucian looked at Mohit. He couldn't believe that all this has been happening since the day she entered this house. He couldn't believe the fact that she cheated on him from

    The moment Christopher spat those words, a loud punch landed on his jaw, making him lose a couple of his teeth."Aah..." Christopher groaned in pain.But Lucian didn't give him chance to relieve the pain for a minute. He grabbed his hair and made him look at him. Christopher looked at Lucian, just to find Lucian's deadly glare."Don't you dare to spit a word against my brother," Lucian barked.Christopher chuckled. He knew his fate and that's why there was nothing for him to fear. He just thought about one thing, that somehow or other, he just has to break the family apart and that would lead Lucian to his destruction."So, I am saying you about... The infidelity of your... Wife... And all you... Care about... Is your mentally... Unstable brother," Christopher stammered.And the next moment, a punch landed on his gut.He groaned in pain, but Lucian yanked his hair yet again."I said not a word against my brother. He isn't mentally unstable. He was suffering but he has fought and now h

    Nina then walked off to turn off the lights of her room. As the lights were off, the room went completely dark, not even a single beam of light was present there. It was the same darkness when she was sobbing and crying in her apartment out of fear, the night when she met Rebbeca for the first time."I will overcome my fear so that Rebecca has nothing to scare me off," Nina told herself.She strolled around the room in complete darkness, even if it was pure dark and she was scared way too much. Her breaths were heavy and she panted, her body was trembling and her eyes were wide open, trying to find a source of light. She somehow managed to reach the drawer near her bed and took out a candle and a matchbox. As she found the candle and the matchbox, she ignited the candle. The moment her eyes fell on that igniting flame, she trembled more.Her teeth were tittering due to extreme fear, but she had to overcome it. But that wasn't a common fear, the dark room and a single candle kept ign

What is happening here?" Mrs Walker demanded."None of your business," Nina snapped back."Really?" She raised her eyebrows."Yeah," Nina rolled her eyes.And the next moment, a huge slap landed on Nina's face. "Nina," Jasper gasped.He immediately went near her and held her."Are you okay?" He softly asked.Nina nodded."Oh I would like you to stay away from my daughter, young man," Mrs Walker's voice was hateful enough."No, he won't," Nina snarled."And who are you to say that?" Mrs Walker barked."His girlfriend," Nina confidently replied.Jasper was shocked the moment Nina addressed herself as his girlfriend. There were a lot of things going on in his head and he couldn't say anything. He was just numb and surprised."Girlfriend?" Mrs Walker was shocked.And the next moment, one more slap landed on
