That night, after delivering Christian's first punishment, Neither Ivy nor Nikolai were in the mood to talk to anyone. So they locked themselves in their temporary room, seeking comfort in each other's arms. Ivy understood that what Nikolai said was true. It's not easy to kill or punish someone so brutally and not let the small pang of guilt enter your consciousness. But whenever she starts to feel guilty, Ivy reminds herself of what Christian did ten years ago. And what he did with Kelly and the other woman. He needs to be punished more brutally than this. "I suggest you go back tomorrow" Nikolai spoke up, breaking into her thoughts. She didn't pretend as if she didn't understand what he was speaking about. "This is not easy. Even though he did all sorts of bad things, I still felt a pang in my conscience. But I am suppressing my conscience. He doesn't deserve pity. I want to be here. I want to see his misery, just how I was forced to see the misery of our parents" she spoke s
Ivy was on her way to buy food for Kelly when she saw Jason. She became so happy to see him there, that she took a detour to speak with him. He was looking at the prescription which he was holding in his hands, that he didn't notice. "Jason" she called out for him, making everyone around her to turn and look at her. She gave them an apologetic look before she hurried after Jason who is walking away. On the other hand, Jason heard Ivy loud and clear. But he didn't stop. Because he was stunned to see her there. Who would have expected that he would stumble upon Ivy in a hospital in another town. They both doesn't belong in that town. So visiting a hospital was not expected. He ignored her and hurried out of there as fast as he could. 'Ivy saw me here. What of she told Nikolai? He will search for me and will not stop until he finds me. I cannot go back home either. I cannot let Ivy tell Nikolai about me. Can I take that chance? Looks like she doesn't know about my involvement i
"Jason? Where am I?" Ivy asked Jason feeling anxious to inform Nikolai. She knows that he must be worried for her. Jason looked at her with a calculating gleam in his eyes, without replying. When he didn't reply, Ivy started to become suspicious. His whole behaviour today was odd. As if he did something wrong and tried to escape. "Jason, where am I ? I need to call Nikolai. He must be searching for me" she spoke with a hint of underlying fear. For the first time she is feeling uneasy in Jason's presence. When she mentioned Nikolai, Jason became upset. "Nikolai, Nikolai, Nikolai. ..Why do you always only think about him? You just met him a few months ago. But we were together for the past ten years. Did these ten years mean nothing to you? He kidnapped you for crying out loud. What is so great about him which I lack? You know I love you too. I am good looking as well. Then why him and why not me?" he demanded angrily. Ivy is stunned at his outburst. The calm and composed Jaso
Richard and Shawn are watching Nikolai with confusion. They found Ivy, and it was confirmed that Jason kidnapped her. Ivy is in a state of immense sadness. After finding out that her best friend is not the same person as she imagined him to be is painful. After Jason locked her inside that room, Nikolai came not soon after. He looked at the wound on the forehead before carrying her away from there. He was not pleased. He was even more angry about the fact that Jason is responsible for that. He handled Jason's situation with kid gloves until now just because Ivy likes him and he doesn't want to hurt Ivy. Now that she found out that Jason is not good on her own, he doesn't have to be careful anymore. He can deal with that scum like he wanted to. A doctor attended Ivy's wound. And she is looking sad to say the least. Axel and his men proved to be useful. As soon as Nikolai learned about Jason, they caught Jason within an hour. Presently, Jason is glaring at Nikolai who is looking at hi
Shawn pulled Jason towards the basement, while the latter refused to co-operate. But Shawn is tougher than Jason, so he roughly pulled Jason after him. "If you think that I will be scared if you lock me up in the basement and starve me, then you are mistaken. I am not as weak as you think I am" Jason spoke confidently. Shawn snorted sarcastically. "Let's see how your courage crumbles when you see what we have in store for you in the basement " he spoke with a smirk. Jason frowned. 'What are they trying to do? Are there snakes or Scorpions in there? Are they planning to torture me? But whatever they have in store, I should be strong. I don't know what Nikolai is suspecting, but I am sure that he doesn't have a good impression on me anymore. So whatever he is going to ask me about Ivy, I should not reveal anything. I should try to contact dad' he decided. As they neared the basement, Jason frowned when he heard the groaning and moaning of 'men'?. He was confused. 'What are tho
Ivy was lying in bed after she was rescued from Jason. She still couldn't wrap her mind around the fact that Jason tried to kidnap her. She remembered how gentle and caring he used to be. But the Jason she met with in Aquila was a stranger to her. He was not the same Jason whom she has known since as long as she could remember. He used to be her best friend and with whom she used to share everything. She thought they had a special bond. But Jason's words broke that illusion of her's. 'You didn't bother to notice, but I was sweet only to you' 'We have known each other for ten years, then why did you choose him over me?' His words were harsh and were like a bucket of ice cold water thrown over head. She still like Jason as her friend. But his recent stunt forced her to think if what he said was true. 'Did I not notice that he was not gentle with anyone else?' she asked herself. The answer to that question is very clear. She did. She saw how Jason used to react when someone other t
In the Basement, Jason is in a very bad shape. The gay men scared him a lot. They are not treating him as worst as they are treating Christian, who is not going to last a very long time. The gay men are using Christian's body very badly. Jason peeing himself in his pants just by looking at it. His earlier bravedo vanished just a minute after Shawn locked him in the basement. The gay men are touching him and kissing him, making him feel sick to his stomach. He gagged more than once as his stomach revolted whenever they came to forcefully kiss him or touch him inappropriately. They are not out right violating him, but he is thoroughly scared at this point. He is ready to tell everything Nikolai wanted to know, if that would mean that he could get out of this basement without being violated by one of these men. For the first time, he understood how those women would feel when they were forced against their will. He felt guilty for helping William in kidnapping Ivy. She was fortunate eno
"No, please don't do that. Please" Christian begged Kelly and Adam. But both of them ignored him. Shawn motioned for someone to bring boiling water just like Kelly requested. "Why are you doing this to me? You have been torturing me for days now. Is that not enough?" Christian cried out with fear and desperation. "This is just the beginning Christian. The list of your sins is too long. Just mere physical torture is not enough to justify for your sins. I will kill you both physically and mentally. Killing you mentally is now going on. After that, I will torture you within an inch of your life" Nikolai's cold voice rang loudly and clearly. When Christian saw Nikolai's imposing frame, his spine shuddered with fear. "Nikolai, please let me go. I will never touch your girlfriend again. Please, let me go" he begged feeling miserable. Nikolai laughed at his words. His laughter is hollow and sinister. "Oh Christian, you still don't know why I am doing all this, do you?" he asked with a
After three years...Nikolai and Ivy were relaxing outside their family vacation home. Their two year old daughter is seen playing with Noah, who is all too happy to indulge her every whim. She is the apple of Noah's eyes. The fact that she resembles a lot like Ivy added a lot to his pampering. He will not say no to anything she asked of him. "I am happy" Nikolai confessed out of the blue" Ivy gave him a surprised look. "I never thought I would be able to find someone who would understand me the way you do. You share my past and my pain. You never judged me for my actions. You supported me in everything I did. But the feeling of revenge will keep a fire of anger burning inside you. What we never realise is, that fire will burn us as well. I never had a peaceful day before I kidnapped you. I ran after my past to avenge my parents. Life was filled with bitterness and anger. But now, it's filled with love and laughter. Because of you. I am so happy that I kidnapped you that day" Niko
Ten years ago.... In the Knight mansion... "What? Forgive him? Samuel, have you looked at what William did to his wife? He killed her. How can anyone forgive a monster like him?" Nikolai's mother demanded angrily. Samuel is not happy to hear this. "We are friends. Let's just forget all that and get back to normal" Samuel suggested and tried to use the friend card. Nikolai's mother shook her head with displeasure and sadness. "She was my friend too Samuel. And she begged me to help her. What did she do to deserve such a fate? I am not letting him go. He has to be punished" she insisted. Samuel lost his cool. He looked at Nikolai's father for help, but he didn't get any. It's clear that Mr. Knight is supporting his wife. "So be it" with that said, Samuel slapped Nikolai's mother hard across her face. She stumbled and fell down on the floor. Nikolai's father lunged at Samuel, but Coco and Mills appeared from nowhere and grabbed him from behind. "You brought this upon yourself"
After Nikolai and Ivy left, Coco was scared half to death. He was standing on the thin and narrow ledge while Rattle snakes were hissing just a few feet underneath him. To his horror, those snakes are not content in staying there. They are crawling up the wall and on to the ledge where he was standing. He tried to scare the snakes away. And he succeeded a few times before one of the snakes refused to leave the ledge. It started coming closer and closer to him. In his haste to move out of the way, he tumbled and fell onto the floor where so many snakes are there. The moment he fell, all the snakes bit him at once for scaring them and hurting them. "Ahh..." "No.." "Help..." Coco tried to pull himself over to the ledge again, but was unable to do so as he started to lose control over his limbs. His limbs started to go numb and paralysed within minutes. He fell back over the snakes once again. But this time he found himself unable to move. He is still alive, but he couldn't move. Not
In the warehouse, Coco is restrained to a chair. Despite being at the mercy of Nikolai Knight, he was looking very smug and happy. He is a very cunning man who can twist any kind of situation to his advantage. Just like how he did it with Nikolai. The previous day, when Nikolai came to see if he came back to his conscience, Coco started to sow seeds of discord and doubts against Ivy. Twenty four hours ago... 'You don't know what Ivy is like. She is not right in her head. Jason knows it better. That chip tampered with her mind and made her insane. What would happen if her mind becomes unstable in the future? Do you want to risk it?' Coco started his manipulation. Nikolai was quiet, not speaking a single word. When Nikolai was silent, Coco thought that Nikolai was buying his words. 'We had to admit her with a shrink so that she could feel better. There were days when she would even forget to do basic things like taking a bath and eating. You lost your family, are you willing to mar
When the beauticians were finished, Ivy looked extremely beautiful. Just as beautiful as a bride. The blue diamond studded necklace is both subtle and elegant, matching with the earrings. Ivy never dreamt about how she would look as a bride. But now, looking at herself in the mirror, she wouldn't have imagined her better than this. "This would complete the look" with those words, a veil was draped over her head, surprising Ivy. Now she is looking like a bride who is about to be married in a moment. Ivy is confused. All of this started as a dress trial, where she ended up like a bride instead. "Luna..." Ivy turned to ask Luna what was going on, but she noticed belatedly that Luna is no longer in the room and even the beauticians are leaving. No one gave Ivy a chance to think more about what is happening around her. Instead, Noah walked inside the room in his tux and his hair combed back neatly. He trimmed his beard and moustache. He is looking younger and better than how she r
After taking away Coco under the guise of attempted Suicide, they made it look like Coco's condition is not stable. They arranged a dead body which resembled a bit like Coco, but a bit darker in colour. The doctors already lied to Coco's wife that Coco's body turned dark due to the kind of poison he took and she believed him. After a couple of hours, they will declare that he died and will keep the body in the morgue for an autopsy, as it was a suicide case. After the autopsy they will bandage the body after that so that no one could recognise that the dead body doesn't belong to Coco. On the other hand, the real Coco is in Nikolai's warehouse. Still unconscious after drinking the spiked juice Ivy gave him. In the meantime, Nikolai looked very content for the first time in ten years. His heart was not chaotic and demanding to see the blood of those people who killed his parents. He is relaxed without the burden of his revenge weighing him down. "What are we doing here?" Richard a
Coco was feeling sad after Jason was taken away to an asylum. His wife was not pleased, but he couldn't do anything. "So much money and so many connections. But now, nothing is useful. No one can bring my son's sanity back" he thought sadly to himself. He vaguely heard the front door of his home being opened and closed. But he didn't give it any mind. He is not happy with the recent events. Until a voice greeted him. The voice of the person whom he heard almost a decade ago. "Long time no see Carlos" Noah spoke up, startling Coco. Immediately Coco snapped out of his daze and looked at the man who was supposed to be in an asylum, but somehow was standing inside his home. "Noah? You? How did you come here? Did you escape from the asylum?" he inquired with shock. Noah smirked. "Why should I run away? I am not mentally retarded in the first place, am I?" Noah asked with a smile and made himself comfortable on the couch. Coco wheeled his wheelchair closer to Noah. He still couldn't
"I still can't believe that Carlos and Jason did all that. I used to feel like, Jason is the most genuine person and I was very happy that he was there to take care of you when I couldn't. To hear that they did all this and manipulated us to this extent, it's shocking" Noah spoke up after a long silence. After the initial fear and anxiety that made Noah almost paralysed with how petrified he was in Nikolai's presence, he recovered slowly. The funny banter between Richard, Nikolai, Philip, Shawn and Bryan made his anxiety go down a little. And when Ivy reprimanded all of them and asked them to get out, they all obeyed without another word. After they left, Noah relaxed even more. The fact that his daughter has the authority to command the most feared man in the city and he simply obeyed made him assured that things are not as bad as he assumed them to be initially. After that, Ivy showed him to his room where she filled the wardrobe with new clothes for him to wear. He took a showe
"Facility? You mean an asylum?" Coco asked with shock. Philip nodded his head gravely. "It's for his own good Mr. Carlos. If he is not treated immediately, no one can tell what he would do and whom he would hurt in the future. He just assaulted you today. He might kill you tomorrow if he is not treated properly. His condition will only deteriorate from here. It's not safe for you, or anyone in your home. If he manages to get out of the house, he might even hurt a passer-by. It will only give you unnecessary headaches. I am sure no one would want a potential lawsuit on their heads" Philip thoroughly scared Coco. Coco is conflicted. Jason is his only son and the heir of his fortune. He cannot possibly send him to an asylum. Ivy saw the hesitation on his face. It's clear that he doesn't want to send his son to an asylum. 'He readily trapped my father in a mental institution, and was ready to send me there as well. But now he doesn't want to send his son? What a joke. I was someone's
