"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
"I want to hear the truth Jason. I know you have been lying to me all these years" Ivy scared Jason to the point that his eyes bulged out of their sockets. "What?" Jason asked with shock. 'What, Ivy doesn't have that chip anymore? That explains why I couldn't activate it recently. And her behaviour was also odd. Now that she found out about the chip, what should I do? I cannot keep lying to her. And I cannot tell the truth either. If I tell the truth, Nikolai will kill me here and now. But if I don't tell them anything, even then he would kill me. Based on how upset Ivy looked, I am sure she won't save me either. What should I do now?' Jason was panicking inside. Ivy looked at the man who once used to be her close confidant. But now, he is nothing like the boy she once used to like. The man here is changing his colours like a chameleon based on his necessity. 'It was all a lie. His care, friendship, everything is a lie. But why?' she wondered. "Why Jason? Why did you betray me l
Ivy ran away from where Nikolai was interrogating Jason. After she heard the truth from Jason, she felt like her world shattered into pieces. And every piece is a testament of the lies and betrayal of Jason and his family. Those were the very same people whom she always considered as a family. But they betrayed her in the worst way possible. 'I was always a pawn in their play. I was a means to an end' she thought bitterly. She remembered the memories she shared with Jason. Now, all those memories feel like they are lies. They are stabbing her heart like daggers. "So you wanted to send me to an asylum. While I am sharing my plans about helping my father out of that God forsaken place. You must have laughed at me for being a fool" she thought feeling so foolish that she trusted her enemy the entire time. While they tactfully kept her away from Nikolai, making her believe that Nikolai is the real enemy. Tears of regret and grief streamed down her cheeks. Once the dam opened, it
In Coco's house, Bryan and his men started to search the house thoroughly for anything which would be useful for them. Nikolai wanted Bryan to find out if he can get any clues or anything which can tell them about the fourth murderer. Just like Nikolai predicted, Bryan found a black bag which looked dirty as if it was tumbled in dirt. Curiously Bryan opened the bag and pulled its contents out. To his surprise, a neatly arranged folder of sketches were found. Bryan examined the sketches. He remembered seeing a similar kind of sketch in Nikolai's office one day. And that was drawn by Ivy. So Bryan was surprised to see Ivy's sketches in Jason's room. 'These are Ivy's sketches. What are they doing here? Looks like she must have forgotten them here' he thought. He flipped the sketches one after another and found the sketches of Samuel Simpson, Jason, Mr. Nina, Nikolai's sketch, his parents sketch along with a few unfinished sketches. He replaced the sketches inside the bag and decided
"Wait, please kill me" Christian begged Nikolai pitifully. Nikolai paused in his way but didn't turn around. "You are already dead Christian. The moment your ego and arrogance died, you died along with them. When I asked you for something, you didn't even resist. You readily gave me everything I needed. See, I killed the Christian who killed my parents. You are now just a shell. You will rot and die on your own. I don't have to kill you myself. You can go out and try to survive on your own. The moment people hear your name, they will either call the cops or beat you to death themselves. You no longer can live the rich and luxurious life you used to lead before. Now you are just one of the homeless people out there. Good bye Christian" with those words, Nikolai left the basement. After Nikolai left, Shawn brought a couple of men along with him and waved at them. Those men untied Christian and dragged him out of the basement and mercilessly threw him out on the streets to beg or die.
"Ivy, no. You cannot hit me with that thing. I will die.. Please" Jason begged her. Ivy unfolded the whip with a cold stare. "Oh? You don't want me to whip you? Then what should I do Jason? Shall I install a chip in your head and give you the same experience you gave me? Will it be ok?" she asked him coldly. Jason shook his head. He never thought that he would be this scared when facing Ivy. He always thought that she is spineless and can be manipulated easily. But now, looking at her like this, he is terrified. "Ivy please, we were best friends. For the sake of our friendship, please don't do this to me" he begged her. But Ivy didn't feel anything when he is begging pitifully. All she remembered was the betrayal they served her. She trusted them blindly. She trusted them more than anyone. But they betrayed her. And what Jason did was unforgivable. Pretending to be a friend while stabbing her from behind all the while was the biggest betrayal. He turned her into a puppet who can
Coco is worried about Jason. It's been more than a few days since Jason disappeared. Still there is no sign of him. No information of what's so ever about his whereabouts. 'Boss, we couldn't find Master Jason. But we saw Mr. Miller being thrown out by Mr. Knights men. Mr. Miller was in a very bad shape. I don't know what happened with him, but he looked haunted. As if he has been subjected to something which has shaken his soul along with his whole being. By the looks of it, I don't think he would last long' This was the message Coco's man gave him. After listening to that message, Coco's worry for Jason increased. Just then, something which Coco was not expecting happened. He saw Ivy standing in front of him. He was so preoccupied, that he didn't even notice the door bell ringing. "Uncle Carlos" Ivy's voice rang in the other wise quiet room. Coco was stunned. He was not expecting Ivy to visit his home. 'Why is she here? Did Nikolai send her here' he suspected. Despite his
"Jason? My son, you are alive" Coco spoke up, pretending to be happy. Jason is not in his senses, which took a minute for Coco to notice that fact. But before he could demand what happened, Ivy beat him to it. "Jason? What happened to you? Why are you not talking?" Ivy asked, feigning as if she was worried. Bryan hid his smile of appreciation. Ivy's acting feels as if she is really concerned. He developed respect for her. "Looks like he is drunk. We found him in a pub partying with his friends. We don't know what all he drank, but he is not in his senses. Take him to his room, after he gain his conscience, give us a call. We need to ask him a few questions about Miss Johnson's Kidnapping and where he disappeared to after that day" Bryan spoke with authority. Coco became pale while hid her grin. "Officer, I saw some one shooting at Jason before I was kidnapped. May be he was getting treated in a hospital somewhere, it is a possibility" Ivy pretended that she is helping Coco and J
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
