18| Heartless.
"And I realised that heaven does exist on earth when I see her"
"London was just a trap, The real destination is Bali and I'm going there only.
" I say to Luca on call while my eyes and focus are on the road ahead as I'm driving in a busy street near Bali at this late hour.
I never left for London as I knew it was just a mindgame to trap me.
The weather here is heavy and cold winds are flowing.
Things which are going to happen in Bali will be dangerous, and I have to protect Tara from all this as he's directly involving her in the underworld- where things start and end with deaths. But also, I have to stop that bastard from succeeding in his intentions.
I didn't take any security and the driver with me because involving more people will be a stupidity, especially when I'm surrounded with people who are looking for a chance to kill me.
It is not about my life cause I know that they can't do a shit against me, but no the hell I'm going to take this risk when inayat is with me.
"But boss, how is it possible? I mean, the party was to be held in London only." He asks, his tone tinged with confusion and curiosity.
"We are mafias, Luca. At times even we don't know what our next move will be, and trusting people in the underworld is the biggest foolishness you can ever do, it was all planned but sadly failed to trap me.
" I reply, my voice drips severity and firmness.
Only luca knows that I'm not in New York, I didn't inform dad as it isn't the right time and above all this, he's already suffering from many things.
Before Luca could respond, inayat's faint voice catches my attention and I turn my head towards the passenger seat to glance at her who is rubbing her eyes.
A serene smile makes its way on my lips as her face is shining cause of the moonlight cascading over her from the window, making her look like a real angel.
For a moment, my eyes freeze at her. The way her face is glowing in this moonlight, it's like she belongs to the beauty she's holding. Pure and serene like the moon, delicate like stars around it.
She's been sleeping for hours, which is obvious as she must tired of travelling.
"Will call you later, and I don't want any irresponsibility in dad's security." I conclude before hanging up the call.
I glance back at her through the front view mirror, she's looking around her with confusion as we were in the jet last time and she woke up directly here.
"Don't rub your eyes, Evara. It'll cause irritation later.
" I say, moving my eyes from the road to her again.
She nods her head slightly before pulling away her hands.
"You are taking me with you, arsh?" She asks, fluttering her lashes to get a clear view of me.
I place my hand on hers to comfort her, keeping my focus on the road ahead and looking into her eyes through the front view mirror, I reply "It's not me and you, angel. It's 'WE' , we are going to Bali cause I won't leave you alone."
She glances at our hands and then on my face, a slight flush creeps over her face. I turn my eyes back ahead and she starts looking outside the window.
After almost an hour of driving, I stop the car near the highway as it's dark and the weather is already not good, driving at this time isn't safe.
I observe inayat who is lost in her own world, enjoying the view outside by keeping both her hands on the window.
I glance around, this highway is almost empty- no vehicles, no trace of people far away.
I let her enjoy what she's seeing for a few more moments before asking "You want to eat something?" I unbuckle my seatbelt, my gaze remains intact to her.
Her gaze flickers back to me as she nods in response, her eyes glistening and her expressions soft, mirroring my own. I bend downwards to unbuckle her seatbelt before stepping out of the car.
Stepping out, I open the door of her side and take her hand in mine to help her get out of the car.
Holding her hand, I take her in the front side of the car and make her sit on the bonnet.
She lifts her head to look up at the dark sky, the sheet of twinkling stars covering it, making it more beautiful and mesmerizing.
"They're so beautiful." She whispers, her hazel eyes sparkling in this dark and her face lightening with the shine as if it's the most beautiful view she had ever seen. Seeing this happiness on her face, my lips curl into a soft smile.
"Just like your eyes, angel" I say, taking off my overcoat and covering her shoulders with it. Even though she's wearing fully warm clothes, it's still too cold here. She glares back at me, a delicate shade of pink covers her cheeks in an instant and her lashes flutter adorably.
"Wait, let me bring the food." I mutter before heading towards the boot to take out the fruit muffins I bought for her a while ago.
Reaching her, I keep the box of muffins on the bonnet and folding my hands, I turn my gaze to her again who is still lost in staring at these stars.
"You know arsh, I'm seeing all this for the first time.
I didn't know that the world is so beautiful, people like you do exist. Those bad men always kept me locked in that white room.
That was very suffocating, and whenever I refused to take those dirty medicines and injections, they used to beat me.
" My jaw clenches on her words fury surges in my veins as my eyes remain intact to her face who is still looking at the sky, her voice slow and serene.
I never asked or talked to her about these things as I didn't want to trigger her wounds in any way, she's still insecure of the surroundings and people around her and only feel comfortable with me. But now she's opening up, sharing the things with me which I want to know.
"They told me that my biological mother sold me to them when I was a little babygirl, and they can do whatever they want with me.
I thought I would never get out of there, I thought I might di-" before she can complete her words, I take her face in my hands and make her look at me, our eyes meet as I try to make her feel safe in my embrace.
"That hell ended then and there where we met, angel.
I promise no evil can even in touch you now.
" I say, my voice is slow and convincing as I try to maintain soft expressions over my face and hide the fury running in my veins.
I swear, the day I get to know about that fucker sheikh's master, I'll skin him alive with my hands.
"Will you protect me?" She asks, her sparkling eyes gets dull with the words escaping her throat. Her eyes lock into mine and her hands on my chest, near my heart.
"If you'll let me, then I promise, always. And above this, You don't need anybody's protection. I'll make you capable enough to protect yourself." I reply, trying to comfort her.
She didn't reply, but her eyes spoke volumes. The way she trusts me, like she never
did to someone else before. Our eyes share some unheard and unvoiced emotions.
"You must be hungry" I try to distract her mind and open the muffin's box, she stares back towards the box and then at me. I take out a muffin and bring it closer to her mouth.
She blinks her eyes and an adorable smile makes its way on her face as she takes the bite of muffin, a satisfaction runs inside me after seeing her smiling.
I swear I lost in her face at this very moment, she is the one who can make corpses feel alive with her charm. The peace in this chaotic world, innocence she carries is so intoxicating, so pure and so divine.
"It's yummy, You won't eat?" Her sweet voice brings me out of my thoughts and I glance at back her, she's enjoying her muffins.
"No" I whisper "I'm already full, Evara."
She lifts her eyes up to mine, a hesitance and curiosity crossing over her face. It takes me no time to understand that she wants to say or ask something, but holding it.
"You want to say something?" I ask softly and she nods her head like a little girl, making me smile.
"Why do you call me Evara?" She says, pressing her bottom lip between her teeth in anticipation, her face glowing up in curiosity and impatience for my answer.
I smile, my eyes glue to her face as I murmur "Because you are precious, angel."
She takes a pause, her lashes flutter and her voice calm and impatient as she asks "Precious for you?" Her hands are still on my chest and I can hear her racing heart too.
"Everything for me." These words slip out of my throat freely, her eyes glisten up in an instant and her fluttering lashes seize at my face.
Taking her hand in mine, I help her get down from the bonnet. Just then my phone rings, I know who must be calling me at this time, still just to check, I pull out the phone from my pocket and it's dad's call only.
"Sit in the car. I'm here only, okay?" I say to inayat who is holding my hand with both her hands and I know she is scared, I make her sit in the passenger seat, making sure that she's comfortable.
Reaching a little away from the car, I pick the call while my eyes glue to her who is looking at me only. I don't want her to hear this conversation cause I know dad is already mad at me.
"Where are you, arsh?" he croaks from the other end, I take a deep breath before answering him.
"You know very well where I am and why I am here." I say calmly.
"Yeah, right. So you didn't bother to tell me about this?" He rasps, his tone lacing anger and sarcasm.
"Dad, there's a reason I didn't tell you about it. And please calm down, Did you take your medicine?" I ask, my tone is firm and concerned. I don't want his health to get affected by all this.
"What's the reason you took that girl with you?" He growls, completely ignoring my question.
"Inayat, her name is inayat, Dad. And I took her with me for her safety reasons." I reply, my voice is still firm and composed.
"So you are concerned about her safety, more than your own sister? Don't tell me that you feel anything for her?" He frowns, making me astonished of his words.
How can he think like that? I mean, seriously? She's special to me cause I feel connected to her. I won't deny that I feel protective and attached towards her, I want to see her live a happy and normal life, that's it.
"Are you serious, dad?" I rub the bridge of my nose to maintain my composure. "Why the hell will I develop such feelings for her, she's a young girl for god's sake." My voice calm and calculated as I emphasize on my each word.
"And I'm here for Tara only, when I promised you that I'll take her back with her consent, then I mean my words. I just want you to trust me, at least for once." I conclude, closing my eyes and waiting for his response, but instead, he disconnected the call.
I sigh and call kaira, she picks within two rings and before I can utter anything, her restlessness voice crackles "Arsh bhai, where are you? Are you okay? And-"
I cut off her words saying "Relax kaira, just relax. I'm completely fine, are you in Jindal Mansion?"
"Yes" she replies.
"Please take care of yourself and Dad, be with him until I come back." I plead, massaging my temple.
"I will, Bhai. You take of yourself and inayat." She says, her voice is full of affection and concern as she's attached to inayat from the initial days only.
"Hmm." I respond before hanging up the call. I pull out the phone and look up at the sky, I know things won't be easy, But I'll fix everything, I have to. I'll take my princess back with me.
Taking a deep breath, I head towards the car and after reaching there, I find her sleeping peacefully. Seeing her, Dad's words roves in my mind again "Don't tell me you feel anything for her".
Getting so concerned and attached to someone whom you met a few days before. Sounds weird, no? But you can't deny your heart when it tilts for someone this way. It's not love in every case and naming every feeling isn't necessary, some are beautiful without any name.
Admiring someone from far isn't love, but if it turns out into one, it's the most beautiful thing that can ever exist.
I shake my head to get all these thoughts out of my mind and open the door of her side, I fasten her seatbelt and adjust her head comfortably to the seat before taking my seat and starting the car.
???
Night passes and bright sunlight cascades over the beautiful city of Bali, making it more glorious.
Arsh after dropping inayat in his private villa, is driving on his way.
Only he knew about that villa so it's the safest place for inayat.
His trusted man Jose and his wife Stella who are the caretakers of that villa are with inayat to take care of her.
He stops his car near a cliff and steps outside, his demeanor is cold yet composed as he head forward.
His eyes fall near the edge where Aayansh is standing, dressed in black shirt and pants, and the initial two buttons of his shirt are undone as always.
Both his hands are in his pockets as his eyes remain intact to the front side of the cliff.
"Welcome again, brother in law." Aayansh says, without turning towards arsh, his voice is firm and cold and expressions unreadable.
"You are so desperate to embrace death at my hands, don't you?" Arsh points his gun at him, anger fueling his tone.
Aayansh's lips curl into an evil smirk as he turns towards him, "Fully prepared, impressive."
He takes out a cigar from his pocket and presses it between his lips, his eyes dark and fearless as he says "If you hold the guts to point your gun at me, then also gather the courage to pull the trigger, brother in law.
Cause if I raise my gun, I'll make sure the bullets shove your head. " His voice is calm yet terrifying.
Arsh's grip tightens over his gun as he try to control his anger."why did you bring Tara here even after knowing that she'll be the direct target of everyone once involved in all this?" He growls, rage sparking his eyes.
"Voice down, AJ" Aayansh warns, lightening up his cigar. "And no one has the guts to even glance at my wife, in my presence and especially in my absence. I very well know how to protect my things."
"My sister is not a thing." Arsh's jaw clenches as he grits his teeth.
"Exactly, she's my everything, my wife." Aayansh says, puffing on his cigar. "She'll be the part of my dark world and rule beside me."
"Never, she'll never be the part of your filth. Leave her or else you'll be the reason for your destruction in this war you are inviting." Arsh snaps at him.
"You know what's the difference between me and you, AJ" Aayansh takes steps towards him, his tone same fearless and dark.
"You do illegal work to save lives, while I do crime, pure crime.
And I don't fear anything, so about war, I'll definitely give you one, but not my wife.
" He stops right in front of him, his eyes speak something carnal and dangerous.
"You want me to repeat what happened two years ago?" Arsh asks, warning evident in his tone. He's talking about the attack he did on Aayansh's drug ships.
"I dare you, repeat it if you can. And I promise, my drug and diamond ships will pass through your routes and you won't be able to do a shit.
" Aayansh says in a carefree yet cold manner, crushing his cigar on the bonnet of his car.
A shade of darkness surrounding him, which is both enticing and deadly.
"Dare accepted" arsh responds, keeping his gun in the waistband. His expressions same, firm and composed.
Hearing this, Aayansh's smirk deepens as he says "Then see you soon, brother in law." He opens the door of his car and sits inside. Arsh's anger flickering eyes remain intact to his dark ones until he leaves.
The world's largest drug and diamond smuggling will take place through this party which is going which is to be held here in Bali, and if it gets hindered in any way, it will automatically invite a mafia gangwar which could prove to be dangerous to the people involved.
???
We are in the car and I am checking some important mails when my eyes fall back on her sitting in a corner and enjoying her chocolate shake while looking outside.
My eyes rove over her, she's wearing a navy blue mid thigh length dress and her hairs are tied into a messy pony tail, some strands are dancing across her face with the wind but she's completely engrossed in her own world.
I don't like it when she pays so much attention to anything else other than me. Throwing my tab aside and grabbing her arm, I pull her on my lap and she stares back at me with her golden brown eyes widening because of my sudden action.
"What are you doing?" She asks, gawking at me with confusion and amazement. Her hands landing on my shoulders as she flutter her lashes in anticipation.
"I want your eyes on me." I whisper, tucking the strands of her hairs behind her ears.
"But I hate your eyes on me." She snaps, though the protest is weak. She tries to get off my lap but I tighten my grip over her waist and I feel her breath hitching with my actions. Her eyes lock into mine, speaking something she herself is unaware of.
She's developing feelings for me, which isn't something surprising at all. I knew it would happen, because I wanted it to happen. My innocent wife is falling for me in ways I wanted her to.
"Aayansh, stop it" she breathes, trying to hide the effect I'm having on her.
"I like this blush on your face." I say, a smirk playing on my lips as I notice her cheeks turning crimson while my fingers trailing against her waist. How badly I want to show this woman that she makes me insane with her single glance, that I can't get over her ever.
She glares at me with innocence, trying to process what or what not to speak. Before she can utter anything, my phone rings and she turns her face to the other side. Keeping my eyes on her red face, I pull the phone out and after seeing the name flashing on screen, my eyes turn cold.
It's Anika Oberoi's call.
I pick up the call and she asks, "where are you? We-"
"Get on the point" I warn her as I hate those who twist and turn things.
She sighs and says "we kept a Puja for Aaina di, you have to perform the rituals as you are her only son and the only heir of oberois, will you come?"
I close my eyes and rub my left brow with my thumb to keep myself composed.
"Warning you last time, do not try to involve me in your family affairs, Mrs. Oberoi.
Or else I won't even give you a chance to regret.
" I say in a low growl before hanging up the call, my mind swirls back to some faded parts of my life.
Past (age- 7 years)
Returning from school and reaching home, I throw my bag on the couch and glance around to look for mom. All the servants are doing their work and luckily mom isn't in the sight.
I take a deep breath before rushing towards my room, but before I can head forward, mom's angry voice reaches me saying "Stop there, ansh" my steps freezes at their place and my face scrunch up.
I turn and see her staring at me angrily and aashi is standing beside her.
I know she must have incited mom against me.
Aashi is my sister, four years elder than me and she's a drama queen.
"Mom, I swear she's lying. I was just-" I try to explain myself but mom hinders me saying "Quiet" my mouth shuts close and I bow down my head.
"Have you looked at yourself?" She snaps, heading towards me, followed by aashi.
My eyes rove over myself, my uniform is drenched in dust, knees are bruised and messy hair scattered on my forehead. Oh no, I should have changed the uniform in school only.
"Mom, Everyone knows who is Aashi Oberoi, but this pumpkin has ruined my image in the whole school." aashi murmurs, staring at me with anger filling her eyes. "He got into a fight with the group of senior boys just because one of them pushed me. I mean, seriously?"
"Want to say something now?" Mom asks, folding her hands and raising her eyebrows at me.
I lift my head slightly and say "She is my sister, it is my responsibility to protect her." Saying this, I bow my head again.
"Oh really little pumpkin, If I wasn't there they would have broken you from head to toe." She utters in a taunting tone.
"You liar liar dirty fire." I frown at her "I faced them like a brave boy, mom, do you know? I smashed that boy's head who pushed aashi." I tell everything to mom proudly.
"It is not 'dirty fire', it is 'pants on fire' You stupid. And mom, he's lying." aashi speaks, trying to manipulate mom, I won't let her do this.
"Aayansh Oberoi don't lie, you are lying." I retort and her face scrunches up at me.
"Quiet, otherwise I'll punish both of you" mom shouts and turns her head back to me "So you think you did a great job, hmm?" She snaps, her tone tinged with anger and amazement.
Is she going to punish me? No, she won't. I know she won't.
"Mom, ask him to open his mouth, his front two teeths are bleeding" aashi says to mom. Oh no, I haven't even gargled my mouth yet.
They both stare at me, folding their arms like I'm the thief and they are policemen.
"Ansh, open your mouth" mom orders, "But mom-" she cuts off my words "Now"
Lifting my head and looking at mom's face, I open my mouth and her face turns even more angrier after my teeth are bleeding.
"You are really becoming a bad boy, ansh." Mom holds my hands takes me with her. I turn back at aashi who is giving me a teasing smile, I tease her back with my tongue. I'll snatch all her chocolates.
Reaching the room, mom lifts me and makes me sit in the bed. She takes out the first aid box. sitting on her knees in front of me, she starts cleaning my knees with antiseptic. I scream cause it is burning so much and her eyes soften in an instant.
"Will you punish me, mom?" I ask innocently.
She lifts her eyes up to mine and says "yes, I will. Cause you really need it." I pout my lips and look at her.
Just then dad enters, seeing him, mom immediately stands up. Taking off his court and sitting on the sofa, he calls me "Aayansh, come here" his tone gentle and caring.
Sometimes I like dad but sometimes I hate him when he misbehaves with my mom.
I glance back at mom and she winks her eyes twice, getting an indication from her, I stand up and went towards him, he makes me sit on his lap and gently caressing my hair, he asks "How did you get these bruises on your knees?"
Before I can answer him, mom says "Actually, he was playing football, so-" dad cut off her words saying "I asked my son, Aaina."
"Your responsibility was to give me and oberois an heir, which you gave. Now stay away from my kids, and especially from my son." He snaps at her.
Why is he talking to mom like this? Why he is asking her to stay away from me? She is my mom, why will she stay away from me.
I stand up from his lap and stare at him with anger.
"Dad, you-" before I can complete my words, mom says "ansh, go and play outside." I look at her face for a few seconds and then without arguing further, I storm outside.
???
After completing my drawing, I rush towards the kitchen to show it to mom who is baking cupcakes for me and aashi. I'll become a painter after growing up, and make mom's picture as my first masterpiece.
"Mom.. mom.. mom, see my masterpiece" I scream until I hear her reply.
"Wait outside, ansh. I'm coming" she says and I sit on the dining table, waiting for her.
"Now show me your masterpiece." I turn my head back to look at her who coming towards me. I show her my happy family's drawing as soon as she reaches me.
"Where is your dad in this?" She frowns, staring at the sheet and then at me.
"He's not the part of our happy family." I reply, cocking my brow.
"And why so?" She asks sweetly.
"Because I don't like him" I say, grimacing in anger and folding my arms up to my chest.
"Looks like my little devil is so angry." She murmurs, making a cute face, She starts tickling me and my laughter fills the space around us.
???
Present
"You have family, then why do you stay alone?" Her voice brings my attention back to her who is looking at me with confusion crossing her face.
"Family is a stupid thing, Amour. I just want you in my life." I say, my voice is void of any emotions.
She takes a pause, her eyes roving over my face as if she's trying to read my mind. "How are you so sure I will always be with you?" She asks, her voice slow as if she forced these words to escape her throat.
"Because you don't have any option." I reply, my eyes turn cold, daring her to deny my words, her mouth shuts in an instant.
"we have arrived, signor." Aiden's voice diverts my attention and I glance at him who is sitting in the driving seat while his eyes are in front. Before I can turn my eyes away from him, my gaze freezes at his wrist watch and an evil smirk forms over my lips.
Betrayal! I hate it, I fucking hate it.
A mini hidden microphone is fixed in his watch, which is almost impossible to detect-for others. Stupid of him to think that I'm one of those others.
This microphone has been set up to convey my information, now it will convey something else, something I want it to.
"Aiden, you work for me, right?" I ask him, while my fingers snapping over her waist who is still on my lap and staring at me with confusion.
"Yes, signor" his reply comes in an instant.
"And you are loyal?" My expression turns darker as I tilt my head to look at him.
"Ye- yes" This time, he stumbles on his words. Fucker! I so want to rip his throat here and now with my own hands, but his fate that my wife is here.
"Close your eyes and turn your face, wife." I command her, caressing her neck with my hand while she frowns.
"Why?" She asks, squirming her eyebrows in confusion.
"Do as I say" my hand moves from her neck to her cheek, my actions dominant. She closes her eyes and turns her head towards the other side, my good girl.
I glance back at Aiden whose eyes are still glued to the front, cold sweat breaking on his temple and terror crossing his eyes. The evil smirk on my face widens after seeing his knowing reaction.
"I want to see your loyalty, take out your gun and shoot yourself." As soon as these words escape my mouth, she fists my shirt in her hands tightly but doesn't open her eyes, bringing my attention back to her, my girl is scared.
"Aa- Aayansh, what are you-" I place my finger on her lips, making her shut. Caressing her cheek and pulling her close, I whisper "Shh wife, relax."
Turning my attention back to Aiden, I warn him "You want me to repeat, Aiden?" He's very well aware that if I kill him, his death will be terrifying and brutal.
"N- no, signor" He takes his gun out of the waistband, his hands trembling as he places it on his forehead.
And the very next moment, a loud sound of the gun shot echoes within the car.
Shuddering in fear and shock, she hugs me tightly and hides her face in my chest, I can feel her shivering body pressing against mine.
Rubbing her back, I lean down and whisper in her ear "Itna darogi to kaise chalega, wife?" she stays still, I know these things aren't normal for her, but soon they'll be.
{How will it work if you get scared this way?}
I turn my gaze at Aiden's blood drenched body laying on the seat, my expressions remain unaffected as I open the car's door. I lift her and she wraps her legs around my torso and arms around my neck. Holding her, I step outside. Rivaan and my other men are standing there, bowing their heads.
"Cut him into pieces and parcel them to his master." I command Rivaan, motioning my eyes towards Aiden's body before heading forward and he nods in response.
I head inside the palace and glance around, everything is like I want it to be, with the theme of black and grey.
I don't trust manual security as it is easy to break, instead I keep Technical security made by my own designed equipment and only I can decode them.
Servants are doing their jobs, though their eyes are down but as I notice them focusing on me and my wife more then their work, I growl "Focus on the work if you all don't want to die." My cold voice echoes ripping through petrifying silence here, serving as a clear warning to them.
They immediately gets back to their work. Ignoring everything, I make my way to the lift, holding her by waist with my single arm, I press the first floor's button while she's still shivering in my embrace.
I like this terror, until and unless it's mine.
Reaching our room, I try to sit her in bed but she's holding me so tightly like she doesn't want me to go away. Her knees rest in bed while I'm standing with her arms around my neck.
"You know how badly you are seducing me, wife?" I bite her earlobe, my voice low and husky.
She pulls out and stare at me with the mix of terror and amazement in her eyes. Her hands are on my chest while my hand around her waist, a smirk playing on my lips as I notice her blank expressions.
"You are heartless, you are scary" she sucks on her breath, her voice slow and more like a gasp.
"I'm, and you should be scared." I say, my voice is deep and hoarse as I clean the sweat drop from her temple. She stares at me, completely baffled from my actions and words. I lay her in bed went towards the bathroom.
After Taking a shower, I make my way to the closet and wear a formal black business suit with a breitling watch around my wrist, after settling my look, I head out and glance back at her who is already staring at me.
Reaching her, I place my hand on her right cheek and say "I'll be back by night, till then you'll rest and have your meal on time, clear?"
"Hmm" she responds, her voice barely coming out of her throat. I lean down and peck her lips before leaving.
???
Sitting on my king chair, my eyes are scanning the faces and masks over them of the people around me. Carson, Romano, Eliot and every known name of underworld are present here. Resting my one leg over another, I take out the cigar and press it between my lips.
"You can't break the peace treaty for a girl." Eliot's voice cuts silence and I look at him, my eyes darkening with the sound of his words.
"If you think I can't, then you are surely wrong, Eliot" I say in low growl, taking the puff of my cigar.
He sighs before saying "Try to understand, king.
This war will be destructive, and above this, you can have any girl you even glance at.
" My muscles twitches and fury surges in my veins at the pace of blood flowing in my veins.
"You should marry Carson's daughter, she holds every quality of being underworld's queen. Leave AJ's sister."
My fists clench and eyes darken with his words, One more word and I'll kill him right here and now.
"Leave Tara J-" before he can complete his sentence, I shoot right in his throat and the sound of gunshot echoes, leaving everyone stunned in fear and shock.
Next moment, Eliot is laying in his chair dead, completely drenched with blood and his eyes remain open as I didn't give him even the chance to fetch another breathe after speaking those words.
Chilling silence covers the place and I close my eyes and start rubbing the barrel of my gun to my left brow, trying to control the anger burning inside me, while fear takes over everyone's faces present here on this sight as Eliot wasn't a normal person, He held a strong position in Atlasco after the chief.
This fucker's first mistake that he was planning against me and thought I didn't get know anything. For this, I would have allowed him to take some more breaths but another mistake he made by taking my girl's name with his filthy mouth.
"How can you kill Eliot so easily?" Romano's trembling voice reaches me and I open my eyes to look at him, as soon as my dark eyes meet his, his body shivers for the moment which I can clearly sense.
"If you think I can't easily kill you if it comes to my wife, then try me, uncle." I say in low growl, my voice cold and dark enough to terrify everyone's soul present here. Romano's eyes widen with fear on my words.
If he thinks that just because he brought me to this crime world, to use me and make me his pawn who will bow down or obey him, then I'll surely clear this bastard's misunderstanding very soon.
"You are going against the rules, Aayansh. You have to face the consequences." He sighs, fear coating his voice as he stumbles on his words.
My lips curl into an evil smirk as I twist the gun between my fingers and say "You are forgetting Mr. Romano, these rules are made by me, and I make and break rules according to my conveniences."
"And about consequences, I never really cared about them." I keep the gun on the table, my eyes roving over their faces, enjoying my terror in their eyes as I conclude "I think now I'm clear to everyone."
