Chapter 39
Aarohi's POV :
It was a good day today as the weather was perfect.
Vayansh went to his office as usual because that man can't stay without working for a single day but I make sure he always had his food on time. He is such a workaholic that neither he cares about eating nor sleeping on time.
As I came back from my college I walked straight to my room as I was already exhausted by now. Today I had to submit a business project that's why it was a very busy day already.
I growned when I heard my phone ring and fetch it out of my purse.
I looked at the caller ID which was an unknown number and growled "not again"
I picked up the call ready to give an earful to the strange man "Are you mad?
Why are you calling me again and again when you don't have anything to say?
I didn't want to stretch the matter but if you don't stop calling me again and again from different numbers I will report to the police so I suggest you to stop right now. "
A rough voice speak from the other side "Hello to you too, Mrs. Rathore."
My eyes widened and I sat up on the bed surprised how he knows me.
I sat attentively and asked "Who are you?"
He chuckled as if I threw a joke his way and said "I ...I am your well-wisher."
I frowned and asked "What do you want? And why are you calling me from so many days but never speak?"
"I just wanted to test how much you can tolerate." He said as if it's not a big deal.
He continued "As for what I wants, I want you to be happy because I am your well-wisher."
I faked a laugh and said "It doesn't look like you wants me to be happy by the way you have been calling me like a stalker. Tell me the reason I could believe on."
He tsked and said "Too Smart. You are too smart for yourself but still dumb."
I frowned as anger build up inside me.
How dare he?
I bitterly called out "Mind your words."
"You are smart but I don't know why you becomes so dumb when it comes to your husband." He ignored me and said.
"What are you talking about? Stop spilling bullshit!"
I felt him smirking through the phone as he said "Bullshit? Then find out by yourself. Do you want to know what happened to the men who tries to rape you that day?"
I flinches at the word rape.
How does he knows about that?
I asked again "Who are you? And how do you know all this?"
He chuckled and said mockingly "Being so impatient, aren't we?"
He again said "Also you remember your kidnappers from the past? Do you know they are still alive? But..... not for so long."
My breath quickened when I heard him. I blinked my eyes trying to clear my vision as I was feeling dizzy now.
I tried to speak "I don't want to talk to you."
My words comes as a whisper which I think he hardly heard but he did. I know that because he replied "It's ok, sweatheart. Don't believe me but that doesn't change the fact that your husband is not how you presume him to be. He.... He is much more dangerous than that."
I irritatingly asked "Do you have any proof or are you just accusing him? Even though I still won't believe you because I know you are lying."
He chuckled and said "Proof? Your husband is not a normal man, He is not only the king of Rajasthan but also rules the underworld. He killed those men and soon he will also kill those kidnappers after torturing them."
I shake my head trying to grasp what he said but I still couldn't grasp it.
I said "I still don't believe you. I heard your bullshit now leave me alone."
He said still acting cool "Fine. I will contact you again after a few days and that day you will know everything. Till then.... Try to find out about your husband on your own.. Your well-wisher."
"Hey-" Before I could say anything else he hang up the call.
What the hell?!!
I frowned and throw my phone on the bed in irritation. Who was he? Why was he calling me? What was he trying to say? Why is he accusing Ansh falsely? So many questions were in my mind right now but I don't have the answer of any one of them.
I pulled my hair in irritation and laid on the bed again. It's so frustrating.
Devil.
He has been saying just this word since these past days.
That word again came to my mind so I quickly grabbed my phone and opened google.
I searched about the devil of underworld. It must have some information on internet, right?
As I pressed the search button a few articles rolled by in front of me. There was not much information on the internet about him but enough to have some basic idea about who the devil is? Also, There are articles about Nexus. What's that now?
I opened few articles about him and read one : The devil, Unknown to the world but holds more power in the world then you could even imagine. He is said to be the uncrowned king of underworld.... Or Crowned? Who knows?
Then I read another one: Never ever cross paths with The devil because devil shows no mercy. He has no weakness, just powers to rule the world.
Then another: Who is the Leader of the biggest crime organisation in the world, Nexus..? The Devil.
I gulped and shake my head thinking 'It can't be Ansh. The way articles are written the man sounds like an emotionless and a heartless monster. Also, I have never heard the word Nexus from Ansh.'
I scrolled a little and saw another one: The king of underworld- A devil? A monster? A king? Or a killer? Who is he? Do he really exist or is he just a made up character?
Right! It must be a made up character to scare people otherwise who could sound that monstrous?
That strange man must be playing with me and I, like an idiot, believed him.
No... I didn't believe him. I trust my Ansh, He is not like that. I was just curious and wanted to know about that devil.
Well, I really wonder who this devil is? He's like a movie character..
So hidden, so mysterious yet so dangerous.
I shake my head and decided to freshen up and then make my way downstairs.
I did some gossips with Kashvi then we all had our dinner.
I was preparing the bed to sleep when I felt a pair of hands around my waist making me smile.
Ansh leaned into me and I chuckled and turned towards him wrapping my arms around his neck and ruffled his hair messing them up.
I love his messed up hair.
He frowned like everytime and backed his strands back from his eyes making me grin ear to ear.
"What's so funny, my sweet?"
I shake my head still grinning but my grin turned into a yelp when I felt his large hand smack my ass.
I glared at him while rubbing my butt and this time he grinned.
I pouted and warned him "Don't do that again."
He tightened his hold on my waist and pulled me closer breathing on my face.
I could felt his every breath hitting my face making my breath hitched.
He said while looking into my eyes "Or what?"
My throat dried like a real freaking desert.
I was trying to think of something fun which would make him speechless and then I remembered that devil.
Maybe Ansh has also heard about him? I am sure He does. He knows everything going around him and his territory.
I grinned making him confused.
I said "Or else I will call the devil."
I don't know what happened suddenly but I saw Ansh's expressions shut down as it was never there, as if he is a robot.
The only thing reminding me that he is still here is his touch on my waist which is still there in the form of his hands wrapped around my waist.
My smile vanished and I called him "Ansh?"
He finally blinked and shook his head then said "No one.. and I mean no one is allowed to come between us, sweatheart."
Such a jealous man!
For a second I thought he was trying to convey something else but that's not the case, I guess.
I smiled and said "No one can come between us, Ansh."
I softly kissed him and taking the opportunity he pulled me closer by my neck.
Breaking the kiss he asked "Why did you say that?"
I confusedly looked at him then realised what is he referring to so I curiously asked "You know the devil?"
His grip loosened a bit as he said "Who devil? You are referring to the one in stories right? They don't exist in real life, bachha."
I pouted and shake my head "No! Not that one. The criminal one. I thought you would know about this."
He asked in his empty tone "Know about what?"
"The devil."
I felt his body tense under my touch and I instantly knew he definitely knows something.
Maybe he is not telling me because he thinks it's dangerous for me to know.
He said "Enough. You won't talk about it again. Who the hell even told you about this nonsense?"
I pouted and answered "I just know.. Why are you reacting like this?"
He closed his eyes for a bit as if trying to control something.. his emotions.
What happened to him suddenly?
He opened his eyes and said in a soften tone now "Go to sleep, sweatheart. I will be back in a while."
I frowned and before he could go I grabbed his hand and asked "But where are you going at this hour?"
He softly kissed my forehead and whispered "Just sleep."
His voice had that final tone where I was left speechless.
He left the room and I sighed thinking why he reacted like this hearing the devil's name.
I waited for him in our room for like 2 hours but then I started to dose off and didn't knew when I fell asleep while waiting for him.
