I'd let the world burn down for her
As all the lights of the party hall turn off, everyone present here gets alert as no one here is normal but mafias.
The darkness around isn't allowing anyone to act or recognise each other.
Arsh who was commanding something to Aariv, he looks around for Tara but before they can react or do anything, a spotlight falls on the center of the party hall, diverting Everyone's attention towards itself.
And under it, a young woman wearing a blood red sleeveless bodycon dress, her deep black eyes carrying elegance and a black butterfly tattoo on her neck which is half hidden by her hair settled over left shoulder, her appearance is enough to drag people's attention towards her.
When asad and Isabella's eyes flick at her, bewilderment and confusion takes over their faces and Isabella murmurs slowly "Tina Kapoor, why is she here?"
"For what we are here, Diamonds" Asad says, "But that's not the sole reason for her presence" His expressions turn serious as he gives a slight glance around to look for someone.
"But only five diamonds are here, what about the other two?" Isabella cocks her brows at him and he replies "One of these people has those two diamonds, that's for sure bella, we just have to wait for the perfect time, for now, act normal like others" She nods her head slightly in response.
Tarun and saisha are standing at a side, staring at Tina, saisha looks at tarun as she mumbles with a slight grin "So we have a new player in this race, it's too much fun Mr. Jindal"
He doesn't say anything as his eyes are glued to Tara, his face is unreadable yet screaming agony with resentment.
As arsh takes a step towards Tara, something in his mind freezes him at his place and his eyes snap back to Tarun and with this, his fists clenches.
Here Tina looks at Aayansh, a knowing smirk playing on her lips and music starts playing as she moves towards him with elegance and seduction.
Har ghadi har peher mujhe
Bas khayal hai ab tera
Kaise katenge din tere bin yahi
Bas sawal hai ab mera
Keeping her drink aside, Saisha accompanies the limelight with her as she starts dancing.
We're coming back to the race
Yeah I'm coming back to the race
Tell me if you're ready
Can you take the pace
This time wanna make you see
Ain't nobody gonna
Play game like me
Tina looks at her with a wicked smile, and then ignoring her, she makes her way ahead with the same demeanor.
Undercover call I eyes
Yeah, you know you know
You lose when you call the die
Just gonna turn and make you see
Make you see, make you see
Ain't nobody gonna run
A race like me
Her moves lacing seduction and desperation As she reaches Aayansh, she forwards a hand towards him while his expressions remain unbothered by her presence as he takes Tara's hand in his, and tina's jaw clenches at this while the whole focus of spotlight diverts to Tara and aayansh effortlessly.
Kissing her hand and taking it in his, Aayansh slowly spins her and makes her back press against his chest with his one hand on her belly and with other, he moves his finger over her face in a carnal way, a slight smirk working on his lips as he's studying Tara's every movement and bewildered expressions.
Ek baar nahi ye dil
Sau baar hai toota
Par shauk mohabbat ka
Ab tak na chhoota
Tara is trying to get rid of him, her desperation after seeing arsh here is on peak as she whispers in his arms "Leave me, Aayansh"
Turning her towards him with both her hands on his chest, he leans over her face with his severe and intense gaze lock to hers as he whispers "Never"
Ek baar nahi ye dil
Sau baar hai toota
Par shauk mohabbat ka
Ab tak na chhoota
He holds her close and moving his hands down her bare shoulders, he tilts his head slightly and his eyes travel from Saisha who is smiling wickedly to arsh and tarun whose eyes are fixed at Tara, Aayansh's evil smirk deepens after seeing them helpless.
Muskurate hue chehre
Chhupaaye hain raaz gehre
Yahan to har chehra hai jhoota
He detaches from her slightly, asad and isabella walks to the centre as they both start proceeding with the steps.
Allah duhai hai...
Allah duhai hai
Fir bewafai hai
Mushkil rihaai hai
Haan tere pyaar mein X2
Haan tere pyaar mein...
You can't escape my love
You can't escape my love
Here Dancing, Tina takes arsh's hand in his and brings him to the centre but arsh doesn't react at this moment cause of tarun and saisha.
Saisha continues her steps around tarun with elegance.
Haan hai khata meri
Mila jo bhi, yahi puchhe
Wafa kyun ki, wafa kyun ki
Asad reaches tina, his gaze carrying lust and filth as he grabs her waist and pulls her close to him.
Wafa to hoti kahan hai
Aaj kal Kahi par bhi
Ignoring him, Tina looks at arsh with an oblique smile as she dances around him with seduction.
Ishq mein jo agar pal do Guzar jaaye
To phir saari umar kya hai
Arsh who is showing no interest in her, his eyes are glued to Tara and around her as he commands luca through hidden bluetooth "Password, luca?"
Maane na maane koi baat
Maano ki jeene ka yeh matlab hai
"I couldn't decode it, boss" Luca mumbles with disappointment, he's on the top most floor of the same building where those other two diamonds are hidden possibly.
Aayansh's eyes snap back to arsh as he notices his changing demeanor, a knowing grin twitching the corner of his lips as he indicates something to Asher with his two fingers.
Ishq hi ek mazhab hai
Ishq na ho to rab hai rootha
He takes off his blazer and throws it aside as he continues the steps with tara, his gaze roving throughout her angelic face as he locks her in his embrace, the whole focus of everyone is on Aayansh and Tara.
Allah duhai hai
Fir bewafai hai
Mushkil rihaai hai
Haan tere pyaar mein X2
Al Al Al Allah duhai hai...
Isabella comes between Tina and Asad as she throws a deadly glance to asad who is staring at tina with lusty and hungry eyes.
Haan hai zamane se tu beparwah
Mai beparwah
To phir kaisa, koi parda
Asad drags his attention back to Isabella as she whispers slowly "You horny asshole, we are here for diamonds, not to quench your lust"
"Chill, darling, just wait and watch" He says wickedly as he starts dancing with her.
Haan koi parda jo hota to
Dil kya fida hota
Ishq na ho, duwaaye ki
Ishq ho to, duwaaye ki
Sach shayari
Aayansh places Tara's one hand on his chest and another on his shoulder.
Ki is dil ko bada roka
Chala khaane hai fir dhoka
Ye dil apni fitrat se toota
Allah duhai hai
Fir bewafai hai
Mushkil rihaai hai
Haan tere pyaar mein X2
"What do you want to do?" Tara asks with irritation as he pulls her back to him and whispers in her ear "It's showtime, wife"
With his words, a loud sound resounds there, leaving everyone stunned and baffled with fear as the elite area of this building had a massive blast. People present here start rushing here and there to save their lives, creating chaos and thin smoke covers this area.
Just then a text comes on arsh's phone saying "Told you, brother-in-law, There are many players here, but king is the only one"
Looking around himself, arsh curses "Shit!" With impulsive steps, he barges out to the building.
Here, Tarun pulls away his attention from all this mess and steps towards one side with his expression severe and unreadable.
As asad's eyes fall on him, he indicates something to one of his men who are present here in waiter's get up and then he looks at Isabella as he murmurs "Now this Tarun Jindal will take us to those diamonds"
"But how?" She frowns with confusion and Asad says with a wicked grin "You are intelligent enough, darling"
Avoiding everyone's sight, He starts following tarun who's heading towards the top most floor of the same building with lift and Isabella is also coming behind them. As they enter the floor, asad stops followed by Isabella and he turns towards her who is looking at him with confusion.
"What are you doing, khan, at least tell me" she snaps at him with frustration, stepping near him while his face turns soft.
"I love you bella, you know that, don't you?" He asks, his hand moves to his waist band slowly.
"Of course I know, but what-" Her eyes widens with fear and shock when asad points his gun at her forehead and without giving her a moment to react, he says "I'm sorry, Nothing is more important to me than my purpose" He shoots right at her forehead and she dies on the spot.
Giving a slight glance to her dead body, asad keeps his gun back in the waist band and makes his way ahead. He walks through the corridor with impatient steps, looking around carefully when a voice from behind freezes him at his place "Why are you in such a hurry, Khan?"
He turns his head backside slowly, only to find tarun and saisha standing in front with tarun pointing his gun at him.
Fear and shock takes over his face but as he tries to take out his gun, tarun shoots on his hand and a scream leaves his mouth while tarun murmurs "When you are not too smart then don't even try to be" He glances at saisha as he continues "Time? "
"Only three minutes are left, Mr. Jindal" She answers hurriedly and with that, tarun shoots at asad's chest and he falls on the floor lifeless.
Ignoring him, tarun and saisha steps ahead impatiently and as they reach in front of a vast iron wall, tarun tilts the vase on the attached side table and the wall gets open while saisha's eyes flick wide with amazement.
He steps in, near the locker gate in front and cuts his wrist slightly, then pours some of his blood drops inside the thin tube of the machine. Meanwhile, saisha who is looking at him with confusion, asks "What are you doing, Mr. Jindal?"
He doesn't answer as his eyes are fixed at the locker which gets open after the insertion of his plasma but as they both witness it empty, bewilderment takes over their faces and saisha bites out "Diamonds?"
"We are late, saisha, only Tara could open the locker other than me and king used her to get those diamonds" Tarun murmurs, his fists clenching with a mix of fury and agony.
"But you were here for your daughter only, not for diamonds, weren't you?" Saisha asks, a frown tugging over her face.
"That's not your concern, bomb has activated, if you have a wish to die then be here" He croaks at her, keeping his gun back in his pocket he makes his way out from here as bomb had been set in the locker machine which got activate after diamond extraction and Saisha immediately heads out with him cause the blast can take place anytime on this floor.
Tara and aayansh are in the car, Aayansh is driving while Tara is in the passenger seat. His face is cold and unreadable while Tara is staring at him with a mix of anger and bewilderment as she murmurs "What are you doing? And why are you doing all this?"
His face remains the same as he answers "I haven't done anything yet, but now something will definitely happen here"
"What?" She asks with confusion.
"You'll see" His eyes travel from front to backside where two cars are following his lead. One is arsh's car while Tina is driving the other, a devilish smirk curls his lips as he slows down the speed slightly, allowing their cars to reach near his.
But as Tara's eyes fall on arsh's car a few distance away from theirs, sudden moisture starts emanating in her eyes as she mumbles impatiently "Aayansh please, stop the car"
This isn't the busy road and only these three cars are running through their ways, two following Aayansh's lead when Tina's phone rings and as she sees the name flashing on screen, her eyes narrows and sighing, she picks up the call and barks out "You are a fucking asshole, I lost everything just because of you"
"You haven't lost anything, sweetheart, just wait and see what happens" A man from the other end says calmly and she hangs up the call with irritation.
Arsh slams his foot on the accelerator to increase the speed, his eyes not leaving the sight of Aayansh's car even for a second and he's intentionally not using his gun because of Tara.
"You trust me, wife?" Aayansh asks, his gaze intact to the front is turning serious and voice hard, she doesn't answer as her eyes are glued to arsh's car behind and she's herself trying to process what exactly aayansh wants to do.
"Don't make me repeat myself" His voice turns colder this time as he keeps his hand on her inner thigh, his grip is enough to affect her and she murmurs slowly "I do"
He takes out the gun from the dashboard and hands it to her, keeping his eyes in the front as he commands "Shoot on your brother's car"
"What?" She croaks "I'm not gonna do anything like this"
"Your wish" All of a sudden, he drifts the car sharply, taking the gun from Tara he shoots at the bonnet of arsh's car and his car loses balance for a moment while Tina's car which was following their lead, crashes because of sudden disturbance where Aayansh swerves the car towards highway.
"Aayansh please, don't-" Tara panics, her eyes moving from behind to him and he cuts her off "Relax, nothing will happen"
He checks something on his phone, his expressions mysterious and lacking any softness as he mediates the speed as if waiting to pull his action.
Arsh's eyes narrow, rage fueling both his acceleration and impatience and he turns his car towards the opposite direction of Aayansh's.
Aayansh is driving on the empty road of the highway at this late hour, nobody is chasing him now but he's definitely waiting for someone to appear-someone special.
In the blink of an eye, a car rushes towards them from the opposite direction and aayansh applies the brakes immediately as he stretches his other arm around Tara so she doesn't get hurt.
His cold eyes are now fixed at arsh who is in front of him, sitting in his car and staring at him with a furious gaze.
"Go, meet your brother" Aayansh says to Tara without turning towards her while she gives him a confused look but then, she heads out as she can't resist herself anymore after seeing arsh.
Arsh also steps out of his car, but he doesn't come near Tara while she's coming towards him only. She reaches him, trying to form words to convey or apologize as her mind is swirling with a mix of multiple emotions which are reflecting through the moisture in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, bro" she murmurs, lowering her eyes as she's still hesitating to meet gaze with arsh.
"Sorry for what?" He asks, his voice now soft and comforting as he himself is agonised after seeing his sister, without whom he couldn't stay a few minutes, talking to her after a long time of suffering.
"For whatever I did, I broke your and dad's heart, you both suffered because of me, I'm sorry for everything" she acknowledges, her tone lacing guilt and pain while arsh's eyes are fixed at her face.
"You don't need to be, princess, you had the right to know everything which we didn't tell you and-" His words get hindered when he finds someone pointing their gun at his head from behind.
Aayansh who is looking at all this leaning against the bonnet of his car with his head slightly titled, an evil smirk curls lips as he murmurs slowly "Let the drama begin"
Tarun who is pointing his gun at arsh comes in front of him, Tara's eyes widen with fear and shock while arsh's cold eyes are fixed at him as tarun shrugs with a rageful tone "He still won't tell you anything, Tara, but I- Your father, I will tell you everything"
Some more confusion and concern crosses her face, her heart beating with a pace of rollercoaster as she is witnessing arsh at gunpoint.
"Bro-" The only word escapes her throat and arsh affirms "He's your real father Tara, Mr. Tarun Jindal, dad's younger brother"
Her heart thumps as many realisation hits her, one thing was clear in her mind that she trusts arsh, but again something shook that trust.
"B- but you.. said my parents aren't alive, and diya, she-" Tarun cuts her off "Everything and his every word was a lie princess, they killed your mom, my wife Ira, I spent more than half of my life in jail because of them and still they wanted to hide you from me.
They didn't want to tell you the truth that my own brother betrayed me, I lost everything because of him, my family, my only daughter"
Arsh cuts him off furiously "This isn't the whole truth, Mr. Jindal, You were jailed because of your own deeds and Ira mom's death was an accident, You-"
Gritting his teeth in anger, tarun halts his words saying "The audacity you hold to lie again and again, wasn't Dhairya shot Ira? didn't he blame me for everything that happened twenty years ago?"
"Bro, I trust you" She looks at arsh in a convincing manner, her eyes reflecting how much she wants him to prove tarun wrong and she doesn't want to repeat the mistake she did last time by not listening to arsh.
Tarun's jaw clenches as he looks at her in a dishearten way that his own daughter doesn't trust him.
"Tara" arsh starts with a low voice "Our only mistake was we didn't want to involve you in all this, we wanted to keep you away from this mess, that's why dad legally adopted you when you were only one year old. But you were already precious to us, our love was and is the same for you"
"You love my daughter? Then where was this love when you separated her real parents from her? When-"
Slight darkness starts descending in front of Tara's eyes and when she stumbles, Aayansh holds her by waist carefully as he growls on them "Enough you both" His voice cold and lacing a clear warning as he lifts Tara in his arms.
Arsh's eyes dripping concern and pain are glued to Tara's pale face as if he doesn't care about anything but her.
He knows knowing all this suddenly will be too much for her to take, one thing which is aching his heart is whether Tara will come back to him by her consent or not, but he doesn't voice his desperation because of her condition.
Lifting Tara in his arms, When aayansh makes his way to his car, Tarun warns him by pointing his gun at Aayansh from behind "Leave my daughter, king, she will go with me" Followed by arsh "Leave-my-sister"
With a bored yet cold demeanor, he turns his head slightly and says "Gun down real father-in-law, or I can say Hades (his mafia name), because it won't take me more than a minute to shove your skull with my bullets"
He pulls his eye to arsh and sneers "And brother-in-law, too delusional of you to think that I'm going to leave my wife anyway"
Ignoring them, he steps towards his car but arsh's voice halts his steps again "In case if you are forgetting, let me remind that peace treaty is already broken and now you don't have any medium to save yourself, and about tara, she will herself leave you once she gets to know about your reality, that day, I will take her back with me by any means"
Aayansh closes his eyes for a moment, anger surging in his veins and his muscles twitching with his words. He turns towards them, his eyes are slightly red now and demeanor dark enough to terrify anyone as he warns them in a menacing and chilling voice...
