AVYAANAs soon as Nisha walked away, I froze. I looked at the empty room and wondered about the blunder I had created. I messed up big time, and made my family feel ashamed of me, something that never happened in so many years. I got to know how much my shona suffered because of me, and that made me feel far more terrible. I always wanted Shona to be mine and be with me, and I would do anything to that happen, but with that, I wanted her to be happy, not feel caged with her own people. I failed miserably."I should be punished," I mumbled.I walked out of the house, got into my car and drove as fast as I could. I reached the warehouse which also worked as my punishment room and looked around. I felt like I deserved to be punished, and so, I had to punish myself.I removed my shirt and picked up the whip which had thorns in it and I started whipping myself hard."This one was for making my family ashamed for me!" I grunted as I whiped."This for making shona cry.""This for making her
NISHAA couple of days passed by silently. The mood of the house was a bit tense, firstly because of Avyaan's stunt and secondly everyone were busy for the reception preparations. Avyaan and I didn't talk that much. I was still upset at him for whatsver he did. He destroyed every chance of me having a relationship with my parents, and that was unsettling for me.On the other hand, his mom and bhabs took me for shopping to one of the luxury stores in Pune. They made sure that I get the best saree and jewelleries for my reception. They took me to their favourite salon for some self care, and spa time and honestly, I loved every bit of those moments. Their gestures made me excited for the reception to be honest. On the other hand, Avyaan's dad took me for food tasting, he wanted the menu consisting of my favorites. He got to know about my likes and dislikes and I got to know about his equisite taste for delicacies. All of this was new for me, yet exciting. I loved all of this.I was ha
AVYAANI was just looking at my shona when she saw her parents at the entrance. The moment I saw the spark in her eyes returning, I immediately knew that I did the right thing.She slowly walked down the stage and rushed to her parents while I saw her approaching them, and I smiled.I had to do this, because shona kept this as my ultimate test for the love I had for her and I had to prove it that I loved her.It was a bit difficult to convince her parents, and I had to admit, I did have to lie a bit, but in the end, when a lie binds the family together with happiness, it's not considered as a lie.FLASHBACKI reached Delhi early this morning and I immediately drove to shona's parents' home. As I got there, I rang the doorbell and Krishna Malhan opened the door."What are you doing here?" He immediately frowned looking at me."Hello, Mr Malhan! Good Morning," I wished him."Go away," he rudely responded.I knew that Krishna would be a tough nut to crack, but I knew that he loves is rep
NISHA"What surprises?" I asked him. The way this guy was behaving today, made me wonder so many things. Firstly, that phone, then my parents and now, more surprises? What is he even upto?"It's surprise for a reason," he winked at me and smiled."Wha..." I couldn't even say anything else."Now let's go outside. It's our reception and we aren't there. It won't make a good impression," he spoke."Yeah!" I nodded.I walked with him and we climbed back to the stage. I got a couple of more guests to be introduced to me and then, everyone started to enjoy the party.I climbed down the stage, just to witness my parents talking to Avyaan's mom and dad. I immediately walked to them."She's here!" Avyaan's dad cheered as I reached there.I smiled."Mr and Mrs Malhan. We're extremely thankful of you guys that you gave your lovely daughter to us," Avyaan's mom muttered."Infact we're lucky to have a son in law like Avyaan," My dad responded.I was surprised. Lucky to have a son in law like Avy
AVYAANShe was resting her head on my shoulders as we danced to the music. The moment felt so relaxing and peaceful. I wanted the moment to never end.This was the first day after almost an year I saw her genuinely smiling. She looked like that happy little kid wandering on the streets of Paris when I saw her for the first time. The smile and innocence that I fell for when I saw her had returned.It felt like a victory that I managed to make my shona genuinely happy, that I managed to return her happiness and smile after almost a year."Are you happy?" I asked her.She looked at me, resting her chin on my chest."Today?" She questioned back.I nodded."Yes!" I responded."Yeah. I'm the happiest after so long, today," she responded.I smiled."But then, I'm scared too," she muttered."Scared? For what?" I questioned."The last time, I was the happiest was on my Paris trip and then, you know what happened next," she responded.Her voice had a weird pain in it which I could somewhat sens
NISHAI entered ny room and sat in frustration. I had tears in my eyes and I felt miserable. Maybe this was the terrible feeling I was feeling from last night. Whenever I get too happy, my happiness is destroyed completely.I heard a knock on the door. "Nisha! Please open the door." It was my mom."Go away! I don't want to talk to you," I shouted."Nisha! Please. I'm sorry," she responded.She continued to knock the door but I was in no mood to respond to them. I didn't want to talk to them at this moment. This was something that I could never forget."I said, go away, Mom!" I shouted once again."Nisha! Stop being a brat. Open the damn door. Your mother is knocking for long while," I heard my dad screaming at me.Did he just dare to shout and blame this on me?"I don't want to talk to you guys," I responded.Their behaviour was breaking me."Nisha! Don't be stupid. Open the god damn door. Why are you behaving like a littlle child? You're married for God's sake," he screamed from out
AVYAAN"Can I hug you?""Yes!" I immediately responded to her question and she didn't waste a second before hugging me tightly. I slightly rubbed her back to provide her a bit warmth.There was a reason why I wanted to keep Shona's parents away from her. When I did my research about her, I observed the patterns and figured out that her parents are extremely toxic. So I had decided that I would keep them away from her, but things weren't in my control anymore. But, I wanted to protect her from this suffering, she's going through now."Can I ask you something?" Shona spoke up, after breaking the hug after a while."Yes?" I looked at her."Would it be okay if I announce something at family Dinner?" She asked."We're your family and no matter whatever you do, we will support you," I responded, cupping her face.She mildly smiled, but even in her smile, I could see her pain but I knew I couldn't do anything."Anyways, it's your birthday, and we're celebrating," I spoke up."How?" She que
NISHA"What?" My father almost shouted.He looked at me, agitated at my decision while my mom looked at me, completely shocked."Yes! I have decided to cut all the ties from you both," I calmly responded."Do you have any idea what you're saying? We're your parents. We gave birth to you, you can't abandon us," he scoffed."So? Is it my fault? That you're my parents? Did I ask you guys to give birth to me? What's my role in you guys giving birth to me? It was you both, right?" I questioned them, giving them a glare."Nisha! What are you saying? You're abandoning us?" My mom spoke up in a disheartened tone."I'm abandoning you today, mom. But you guys have abandoned me from your heart I don't know when," I responded.She was just looking at me. Completely dismayed at my words and ti be honest, I did feel bad. I felt terrible, but I had to do it. Because till now, I just used to have arguments with my parents, yet I felt like they were my parents, but then from today, I felt like I was a
A Few Months LaterAVYAAN"Avyaan! What did you do this time?" Mom came rushing to me, scolding me."I didn't do anything. I don't even know what to do," I replied in an hurry."What happened?" Bhabs came rushing to us.We were all in the hospital."Nisha shouted at him and slapped him," my mom told Bhabs in a tone as if it was my fault."So! It wasn't my fault," I retorted."Oh really?" Mom gave me a deadly glare."Okay! Tell me, what happened?" Bhabs asked, calming us."Nisha's water broke and this stupid human replied from when did she have a pipeline inside her," my mom spoke in a disinterested tone."Avyaan! Are you serious?" Bhabs gave me an impossible look."Yeah! I mean, I was," I innocently replied."You don't even know what's that?" She asked."No!" I admitted."With 5g internet and all the access to anything knowledgeable, you couldn't figure that out?" Bhabs too started to scold me."But..." I was about to say something but was interrupted by the doctor."What's all this C
AVYAANThe moment Nisha cried, I rushed to hold her. She had fallen unconscious. But due to my injuries, before I could reach her, Namit already held her in his arms."Let's rush to the hospital. I feel like something isn't right," Namit muttered.And with that, we rushed to the hospital.As soon as we reached there, the doctors provided me the first aid and asked me to rest, but how could I rest when Shona was taken to the ICU. I just sat in front of the ICU, waiting for the doctors to respond.My entire family reached the hospital soon enough. Namit had informed them."Avyaan!" I heard my mom gasp.I immediately rushed to my mom, I hugged her and tried not to break down in tears.After that, I limped my way towards Dad. He rubbed my shoulders and that's when I realised, I needed my family."I failed to protect her," I weakly mumbled."You did your best. Don't worry!" My dad tried to keep my hopes high.And with that, all of us waited for the doctor to arrive from the ICU. But there
NISHAWith the sound of the gunshot, I closed my eyes tightly and the entire room was silent.But then, I heard Spider's cries, I slowly opened my eyes just to see a pool of blood around me and for the first time, I wasn't grossed out by the blood.I then looked at Spider, he was lying on the floor with his shoulder being shot. And then, I looked infront of me and a smile appeared on my face."Do you guys really think, Eagle can let anything happen to Demon and Flamingo?" Namit's voice was full of confidence."Namit!" I sighed.Avyaan turned around, and he too saw Namit and I could sense the amount of relief he would have felt after seeing him.And in the next minute, the room was full of Demon and Eagle's men. They killed Spider's men one by one, turning the room into a pool of blood but no one was able to escape.And in the next five minutes, all of Spider's men were dead, leaving Spider and Greta alone and before they could cause any harm, they were captured as well.I smiled, feel
AVYAANI stood there, helpless. She had bruises on her face, marks on her body, and a dull face. She has been crying a lot and was in pain. I felt like a loser as I failed to keep my promise. I failed to protect her."Avyaan!"I heard her voice. She had a sparkle in her eyes, maybe a glint of hope that I would save her."Awww! Avyaan! Shona! How sweet!" Spider taunted as he pulled shona by her hairs."Ahh!" She cried in pain.I was immediately agitated by it."Spider!" I shouted and was about to charge up on him, but I couldn't even move because his men were completely restraining me."Whoops! Demon, can't do anything," he teased."Leave her Spider. Be a man. Fight me," I demanded."Were you a man enough? When you did that to me?" Greta barged in and questioned me.I chuckled at her words."Don't you remember, Greta? You were the one who introduced me to the punishment I gave you. You were the one who taught me, that this punishment is the worst kind of punishment. So, when you tried
NISHAI had no idea what the time was. Ever since they left, it felt like an eternity. The room was dark with just a beam of light on the center. I couldn't hear any sound, any noise. I was extremely hungry and my stomach made grumbling noises. I couldn't even have a drop of water and my throat felt like someone stabbed in it. I felt a bit nasueous and really weak. They really were starving me. And in all this, I feltbmore and more worried about my baby.I slowly held my stomach."Don't worry, baby. Mumma won't let anything to happen to you. You will be safe," I mumbled.At that time, I felt like I should have not talked back to them and quietly tolerate everything that Spider wanted to do. Atleast my baby would have been safe. But now, I felt like I had nowhere to go now.And then, all of a sudden, the door opened ajar and Greta and Spider walked in the room."C...can I get some water?" I weakly mumbled."Awww! Flamingo wants some water," Greta pouted.She had an evil glint in her e
NISHA"W...what?"My voice trembled when I heard Greta saying that. Did Avyaan really do that?I closed my eyes, and in a moment, my mind went to flashback. I began thinking about every miserable thing Avyaan did to any girl. I began to think about what punishment Avyaan ordered for his first ex girlfriend. I began to consider that all this pretyy dreamland that he had created for me right now was really a lie?I felt helpless and terrible. I looked around, gasped, trying to get a hold of the reality. I closed my eyes, and then, my heart chose to do one of the most selfish things a girl could ever do. I chose to ignore all the terrible things Avyaan did and focus on only one fact. He loves me and he would burn the world for me.I took a deep breath and opened my eyes and then, I had a smirk on my lips."So what? Probably you deserved it," I blurted out.And then, I witnessed their faces changing colours. I could see both of them getting angry and I felt relaxed. Even after them overpo
AVYAANI was getting impatient, thinking about the whereabouts of Spider and Greta. I did ask my men to find her, but one thing I knew was that it won't be easy. They have planned a revenge this time, and when they could sneak in to my house and kidnap her they could do anything.As my men were at work, I did feel hopeless and thus, I decided to resort to my last hope. I immediately rushed to my car, got into it and drove it towards my destination.Within an hour drive, I was finally standing in front of my destination. I took a deep breath, got out of the car and knocked the door and just hoped for the door to open.And thankfully, he opened the door."Avyaan! What are you doing here?" Namit spoke up.He looked surprised at my presence."Namit. I need your help," I confessed."I'm sorry, Avyaan. I can't help you anymore in that. I have left the underworld," he replied.He was about to turn around and leave."Nisha has been abducted, Namit," I announced.His footsteps halted and he tu
AVYAAN"Greta! Greta!"I shouted on the phone but it was of no use. She already hung up the call.At that moment, I was extremely scared. I had already violated one rule of the underworld, and that was harming a woman from a Mafia family by doing that to Greta and now, she's like a wounded lioness, she could do anything.I felt helpless and terrified, my actions could have reciprocations like this, I had never thought that in my wildest dreams. "No! No! I have to save shona," I mumbled in a state of panic.I was about to panic completely, but then, I realised we were in India. Greta and Spider do not know much about this country so for sure they couldn't find a proper spot away from my reach.I immediately called all of my men in the hall. As they were rushing there, I continued to tap my feet on the floor, thinking about Nisha's situation. I was extremely worried about her.As everyone were present, I addressed them."So. All of you guys know, that your Queen is missing. She isn't h
NISHAI rolled my eyes at Spider, hoping that if he sees my disinterest, he goes away, but instead, he stepped into the room and walked close to me.With the closeness increasing, I felt nervous so I started to take a couple of steps backwards, but I knew it was of no use. The room was a confined space and I had no where to go.And soon enough, I was caged between the wall and him. I looked at him, and I was completely disgusted by his face. All I could remember was our first meeting when he said those terrible and demeaning things to me. I was completely disgusted by him, and I was scared too. Knowing that he's all alone here, with me. He could do anything to me.I closed my eyes tightly, as he swirled his fingers all over my face. I fell like puking and my heart was beating rapidly. I wanted to dissapear at that moment."You should eat, babygirl," he spoke in a sultry voice."I don't want to," I scoffed."It won't be good for your baby, darling," he responded.I went numb at that m
