AUTHOR'S.......P.O.V....

"Now, what brings you here, Mr. Ranawat?" Ekaksh exclaimed, looking at his father with a dismayed expression as he entered the mansion

Saarthak didn't react to Ekaksh's hateful glances. He walked towards him, trying to muster the courage for the forthcoming request, one that might push Ekaksh to the brink of wanting to kill him. But then, when had Ekaksh ever not wanted to kill him? . It is just his mother's thoughts which always pulls him back .

"Ekaksh, I want to talk something very important to you" Saarthak said when he was about to walk away ignoring his father presence

Ekaksh royally ignor his words and walk towards the stairs after a tiring day at work and a important yet overstraining meeting with a group of politician . Sandeep sighed standing in the big hall then again look at him

"Please Ekaksh " He requested loudly

"I am all ears " He said turning back , looking at him and Saarthak move towards him

"Please get married," Sarthak said, trying to sound firm. Ekaksh glared at him fiercely. Marriage was one of the most hateful thoughts he had, and why not, when he had seen the destruction it caused right before his eyes

"I will not" He gritted turing back

"That was your mother wish Ekaksh " He said back but he didn't stop still unbothered to his words , but his mother mention from his mother was really triggering his fury

"It will not work this time Mr.Ranawat , so go away" He said angrily in a warning tone

"Believe me Ekaksk , I am not lying . At least listen to me properly " His father said intriguing his anger and he close his eyes gritting his teeth

"Try to force me using my mother, I will kill that girl you want me to get married to " He harshly said storming towards him in anger and his hatred towards him was evident in his cold bloodshot eyes

"And trust me Mr.Ranawat ,You will regret the most " He spat venomously in rage while His father stood helpless before him

"May be this will work Ekaksh " He said taking out a tape from his pocket

"I am not lying and this is the proof. Saanvi wanted this marriage " He said forcely putting two tape recorder in his hand and started to walk away

"Nothing is new , You turning your back from me and coming back here again when you need me " Ekaksh growled making his father close his eyes to contain the tears

"I disappointed you but hope You will not do the same with your mother " Saarthak said still back facing him

"And make sure to change and take a bath as the blood smell is still alluring around you and She will not feel good seeing his son with a blood stained shirt and hand .I will be waiting for your answer at the dining table " Saarthak said walking away from there cursing himself internally for failing as a father . he really did and nothing is left with him than regretting on his past actions

Ekaksh stormed back to his room, angrily throwing his tape recorder onto the bed. He clenched his fists, struggling to control the urge to destroy the entire room and vent his fury over his father's words. Angrily, he removed his coat and then his blood-stained shirt, tossing them aside before walking into the bathroom, hoping the solitude would help him regain his composure

" Marriage , my foot " He sneered in rage

He came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his torso. His blue eyes fell on the tape, and he stared at it intensely. After tossing aside the small towel he had been using to dry his hair, he picked up the tape and played it, sitting on his bed

"She even opened her eyes after seeing him," his mother's voice echoed through the room, hitting his eardrums after more than two decades. The sound made him close his eyes, as memories and emotions from the past surged through him. It leaved his lifeless emotions with broken peace

"Alisha had already opened her eyes, but Isha didn't, which literally scared me, Saanvi," another woman's voice said, taking his mother's name. Ekaksh frowned as he listened. He had heard this voice before, but recalling where was proving difficult.

"Maybe she was waiting for Ekaksh to open them, hehehe. I mean, just look at the coincidence-even their names match with Shiv and Parvati, Sonakshi," another voice came, making the corner of his lips twitch. He could never forget this beautiful voice-it belonged to one of the dearest people to him.

"Bui," he whispered, gulping down a lump of pain, recalling the sweet moments he had shared with his paternal aunt, Nirharika Singh Ranawat

"That is soo true . I mean Niharika is not wrong though" His mother , Sanvi voice come

" then turn this friendship into kinship , How about you just fix your Ekaksh with her Isha" Niharika exclaimed playfully while Ekaksh shook his head . His Aunt always make sure to drop him into soup with her peculiars ideas of forming relations , first and prime victim was Rachit , her husband

"Shut up ! You say anything without a second thought Niharika di . She is just born and you already started to talk about her marriage " The fourth feminine voice came and It was not hard for him to say whom it belongs to . He has been hearing this voice from decades , This is of Katha Singh Agnivanshi , the mother of his Bestfriend

"Stop hitting me, Katha! Nahi to meri beti hui na, to use tere Aviraaj ke peeche hi lagaungi," Niharika exclaimed, making Ekaksh palm his face. His aunt's obsession with playing cupid for everyone was unmatched. So unmatched that , she even had to end up sacrificing her own love for their love story .

"Ohhh really, and what if me and my Aviraaj reject her " Katha replied back

"Then She will kidnap him and marry . Simple and suitable . My daughter gets what she desires , no matter what it is " Niharike said with a glint of pride in her tone while Ekaksh glanced at the tape recorder with weird look

"Come on, Bui! Our little girl wasn't even born, and you had already decided on her groom. That too, that Aviraj. Hell! I would never have ended up my little girl with that bastard," he exclaimed with a scoffing look. Even though it wasn't possible anymore, he still felt rage towards Aviraj, imagining the possibility that he could have ended up with his sister

"Ok leave us , but you tell me Babhi sa , If it is in your hand then Will you accept Isha as Ekaksh's bride ? " Niharika asked and Ekaksh ears perked up

"I will, without any words. But I will also ask for both of their approval and choice first. Only if they agree, I will let the kinship happen; otherwise, it's a big no from my side," Saanvi said, her words bringing a light chuckle to Ekaksh's lips

Even though she was no longer with him physically, her concern for her son's happiness still resonated. On the other hand, there was his father, who would undoubtedly attempt many things to persuade him to agree to this proposal.No wonder , He keeps Sanvi in his name .

"But somewhere my selfish Heart literally carves to marry them " Saanvi whispered which was clearly audible to him but not for them who had busied themselves in their talk . He softly looked at the tape and kept it on the table near him

He look at the another tape recorder then immediately start it and heard

"Hi, my future Ekaksh Beta. You know how much of a coward your Ma is, so I'm telling you now because I know that by the time you reach marriage age, if I even start to talk about this topic, your anger level will rise to another level. It's silly of me to say, but will you please marry Sonakshi 's daughter ? Please, Ekaksh, for me."

" Stop giggling, Sarthak " Sanvi said

"What can I do, jaan, when you are literally behaving like a child? . I mean where are you going ? That you are recording all these and that too for Ekaksh who listens only to you " Sarthak replied with another chuckle

" But I really want him to marry her Mr.Ranawat " She said with a pout with a gilt of sadness

" That has so much time ,you just focus on yourself and this child or better say my babygirl inside your womb Rani sa " He said , hugging her gently

" Pregnancy is making me do all these stupid things " She uttered in a low tone and huffed at the last

" I will happily endure all these jaan but for now stop this " He confessed with a smile , and kissed her forehead

And then the voice stopped coming from the recorder. In the next second, Ekaksh threw it against the glass wall, shattering it into pieces. The words from his father had ignited his anger. He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists, his veins visible on his hand as he struggled to contain his emotions

"Whatever pleases you, Ma, but she will be just a mere girl, nothing more. She will come here as your daughter-in-law not as my bride " He said, looking at his reflection in the broken glass . He walked out of his and soon reached the hall

" I will marry her " He coldly stated diverting his father attention towards him and his father softly glanced at him

"I know it" Saarthak thought with a smile remembering his wife . The only person apart from His Aunt , who can make him take back his words without a thought and change his decision

"After this, I will not do a single thing asked by you, and don't expect anything from me regarding this marriage. This is just a marriage of convenience, nothing else, and it's for my mother's sake," he sternly declared, a light chuckle escaping him as his words took him back in time

He had once stated similar things to his mother, but now he lived in her memory, surrounded by her love, feeling devoted to her even without her physical presence

"I will not , Ekaksh . But I just request you to keep her safe here " He said walking towards his son , and this time the tone contained concern more than request

" I want to meet her before marriage to see if she is even capable of this status or not ,or she is some random chi-

"Ekaksh " Saarthak warmed in a anger tone . He can stand his every cruel words but not single disrespect to her

"Don't rise your tone Mr.Ranawat, or else it will not take a second for me to do something my mother will feel bad about that . Don'y forget you are standing in Dark realm , and I am the Lord here " Ekaksh harshly said with the same attitude he uae with his enemies , well he seemed his father no less than them

"I am your father Ekaksh " He firmly shouted making him chuckle bitterly and faced him

"Then where was this father of mine when I needed him the most? Why does he always come here when he needs something? Why, Mr. Ranawat?" Ekaksh asked in a mocking tone, making his father look away.

Didn't he remember? Ekaksh had stated that his father's presence haunted him and triggered his bad memories . Then why should he come here ?

" This is her profile and some important informations about her " Saarthak said , extending his hand with a file which Ekaksh took it harshly but showed no interest to open it

"I will see her in a few days. Just inform them, and get this bloody thing done within one week. I don't want to waste much time on that girl," he said, walking away with determination in his stride

"Laksh " He called out

"Find out about that girl Mr.Ranawat has come with .I want all and clear information about her quickly " He said

✨✨✨✨✨✨

"They agreed Isha and he wants to meet you tomorrow " Sandeep said , disconnecting the call , looking back at his daughter who was looking at him with a tensed face since the time he had rang the call to Sarthak

"But Baba ,Marriage within this week, I don't want to leave you this soon " She sadly sated in sorrow , walking towards him

"Someday you have to go, Isha. It would be better if you leave this place soon, as we don't know when someone might try to harm you," he said, prompting her to sigh and hug him with a worried expression

"I understand, Bachha, but it's about your safety, and I don't want to take any risks," Saarthak said gently, glancing down at her as she still clung to him like a child , and she nodded with a look at him

"And don't worry about your job , you will be working like you do here but just with a new environment " He said and she nodded

✨✨✨✨✨

"Banaras" this name rolled down his lips after Laksh read about her information in which Ekaksh didn't even bother to look into for once

"How much I want to forget her but this fucking bullshit throw me to the same bloody place again " He cursed angrily throwing the file in bin beside him as the city name triggered him enough that he didn't have interest to read further about her by his own

"I will leave for Banaras Tomorrow . Get ready the jet " He informed , makingLaksh bowed down and go back to his work

"Dr.Isha Mehra ,What a pathetic destiny . Kya paap kiye the Doctor jo main mila " He darkly chuckled , rotating the paperweight

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

"Ekaksh Singh Ranawat " Isha whispered looking at her reflection in her room mirror. The name itself was enough to give shivers and the inform she gets , was enough to baffled her to core

"Hi My name is Is - Sorry Dr.- but Isn't that will sound too much high on myself but Being a doctor It is is already high na " She said and closed her eyes in annoyance then huffed , whining like child

"Shiv ji I am practicing this from yesterday then why I am still feeling nervous just with pronouncing his name " She said giving a sad look then decided to get changed as it was almost time to meet him

She changed into an Anarkali suit and then moved towards her small vanity. She styled her hair and applied her daily routine light makeup, which included a bindi, mascara, and a tint with pink lips

"In an era where people are obsessed with jhumkas and bangles, how did I become obsessed with clipping flowers in my hair?" she mused, placing small chameli flowers at the back of her hair, a daily habit that completed her routine

"But small jhumkis are good too," she said, wearing her small earrings

" Hey Ganga maiya , Hey Shivji with his Ardhangani ji , Please smabhal ligiyega " She gave a small prayer before , glancing at herself for the last time

"Isha Lets go Bachha " Sandeep called from the main hall and she hurriedly check her bag and walked out of her room

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

" One last thing. I want a meeting with the heads of the other families. It's time we remind them who runs the system . And send our one unit to Base-3 , in italy " He coldly said to one of his men who bowed down and walked away

"Sorry to interfere, Boss, but today you have a meeting with your fi-fiancée," Laksh stuttered for the first time, finding it difficult to know what to call her . Ekaksh internally sighed and nodded with a annoyed look

"Ok. Get ready the cars " Ekaksh said walking out of the vacant room followed by his a guards in suit

✨✨✨✨✨✨

"Laksh " He called , darting his eyes around the areas while wearing his gloves . Laksh walked towards him with his mask and shades

"Did she arrive?" he asked, putting on his mask followed by his shades. The area was nearly vacant, as it was at the backside of Riverview Restaurant, fully surrounded by his security for protection and the tree for serenity

"Yes boss" Laksh said in his ever so robotic and lead him to the place

"You guys wait here I will come back in few minutes " Ekaksh said walking ahead while his guards nodded , stopping at one place and too their respective position

"Why can't people value others' time, Shivji? He is literally one hour late," Isha said in anguish , looking at her wristwatch. She sat on the bench with a scoff look , under a big tree in front of a beautiful, long pond.

She looked around again for his arrival, but there was no one except the men in black who had secured the area even before her arrival. Their appearance made it clear they were bodyguards. But the question was where is their boss

"Hayee Ganga Maiya! Larki main hu par late ye hai, aur abhi to shadi bhi nahi hui aur ye haal hai, shadi ke baad pata nahi kya karenge," she uttered in a frustrated tone, walking towards the pond to relax until he would come

Ekaksh walked around, his eyes falling on a small figure in a yellow dress, her back facing him from a safe distance. He followed the stone walkway, barely covered with the small flowers that were falling from the trees beside it, as the air suddenly began to blow feebly. This flower covered pathway with gentle breeze guided him towards her, standing under a tree.

He looked at her, watching as her black straight hair flew feebly in the air, revealing glimpses of her small waist through the transparent material of her dress. Unconsciously, he clenched his left fist, feeling that familiar emotion rise within him once more and he took out his shades in a swift motion

He exhaled a hot breath, closing his eyes briefly, only to have the image of her black and red tear-filled eyes flashback. Abruptly, he opened his eyes again, shaking his head before resolutely walking towards her

She heard footsteps behind her and turned around, thinking he had arrived. Her sudden movement made him halt in his tracks, staring at the girl who had occupied his thoughts for the past three months. She was the one who made him feel emotions he believed he was incapable of, emotions he had never felt and vowed never to feel

"Fuck! No way," He whispered as his mind went blank and a cool breeze of air passed by him making the flowers showers on them , and she broke the eyes contact , looking up at the falling flowers and a smile appeared on her lips making his breath hitched

"E-E-Ekaksh," she hesitantly whispered in a soft yet sweet tone, pointing her finger towards him with a questioning look. He took a short breath, trying to calm the warmth spreading inside his chest at the mere sound of his name from her lips

It sounded euphoric , so much that He was spellbound by it even the nature that they heard the clinking sound of the dreamcatcher hung on the big trees , that started to wiggle at the moment she spell his name

"Are you okay?" she asked with concern as he just stared at her without blinking. Is he even listening to me? she wondered. He lightly shook his head , getting a grip on his senses

Even he was baffled at how he had become so lost in the first place. Then his sight fell again on the girl before him, and he realized why he had lost himself. It was because of her angelic tone, her alluring orbs, and her serene face

" Y-You have fl-flower , there . On your shoulder " She pointed trying to perish the awkwardness and initiate a conversation but He just flower at her actions to tell him where

"Here," she said and leaned towards him, causing him to instantly close his eyes. Once again, he found himself losing himself in her ethereal fragrance. It only spoke of peace but at the same time that proximity caused lots of chaos in his mind , causing him to tightly fist his palm

" Here it is " She said , leaned away after removing the flower and smiled at him but soon it turned into frown when she found him with closed eyes

" Stay away " He gritted and abruptly opened his eyes ,fiercely looking at her that she took back few steps away in fear , his demeanor was only emitting danger

" S-Sorry " She said in low tone and looked down , a chilling shover run through her spine as his gaze was still fixed on her

"Why the fuck ! It has to be only her ?" He thought while glaring at her in anguish

"Why did you agree to marry me?" He asked arrogantly in a cold tone, his deep yet rough voice scaring her more , that she almost flinched

" Ms.Singhania , look up when I am talking to you " He almost shouted and she gulped nervously but somewhat pester up her courage and looked up at his face which was still covered with the mast while his eyes were hidden behind the black shades

"Be-Because My Baba wanted this " She fumbled in a fearful tone and a smirk plastered on his lips at her condition , that what he wants fear

" If in future your Baba says to get married again , You will do right ?" He asked making her looked at him with a shocking look

" Don't You have your -

" He said This is important " She cut off in the middle making him fist his palm , nobody ahs audacity to cut off him the middle of the conversation and here his soon to be bride did just in the first conversation of them

" Ms Singhania-

" Ms.Mehra , Mr.Ranawat " She again did increasing his anger about which aws completely unaware of it now

Her heartbeat kicked up as he started to step closer. She instinctively stepped back, her face paling. Her eyes struggled to maintain their connection with his cold stare and unknowingly her breath become uneasy while nervousness consumed her body causing the strengthening courage to crushed by his mere action

" Y-Ye kya ka- Ahhhh"

She squealed when she stumbled on a stone and was about to fall back when He sneaked his arm around her waist and pulled her lightly towards him without a hint of emotion changing in his stare . She gulped at their proximity and leaned away while still in his arms but her breath hitched when He leaned his face towards her

"Mehra. Singhania. Or whatever. Listen, Sweetheart ! If you dare to cut me off in the middle of talking again, be prepared to face the consequences eagerly awaiting you. Trust me, they will be deadly for you, Doctor," he huskily whispered, staring into her eyes with his deadpan gaze, and she nodded immediately , gulping down her fear

" He is dangerous for her heath and life " Her mind registered

" So-Sorry " She said coming out of his hold and He let her go and stepped away

" Ms.- , Doctor . Yes ! Doctor is good " He said making her looked up

" This is just a marriage of convenience for me where I have to protect you from your god knows danger . If you have any expectations from this marriage then kill them before my actions shattered them brutally . No need to act like my wife because Husband's behavior is a bizarre concept for me and Love is something I hate the most even more than the idea of marriage , Doctor " He presented his thoughts in a cold tone while she just started at him with a thought - This marriage is just a convenience for him

" Any doubt Doctor ?" He asked and she slightly shook her head in no , making him passed a curt nod

"Did your father tell you about me?" he asked, hoping for a negative answer, as no innocent girl would want to enter the world of darkness

"Yes He did" She honestly said remembering the yesterday night conversation between them when the shortly defined about his personality and all the thing come true

" And still you are ready to marry me " He asked taking a step towards her and she gulped in her as his tone was getting deep and danger

" And here I thought you are not those kind of girl who go after money and -

" Mr.Ranawat ! ! . Don't forget I am too forced into this marriage . You are not the only one -

" Shhh ! Calm your tone Doctor " He certainly said but she was in no mind to hear him as it was not on her character and she is not too weak to hear that

" No Mr.Ranawat.You cannot expect me to shut up when you are trying to term me as something that I am not . You cannot - AHHHHHHHHH"

She stopped in the middle when He shot a bullet in the air out of nowhere making her completely silent after her loud scream . He looked at her with a fierce cold gaze while she shivered with a low sob still her palms , covering her ears while her racing heart trying to adjust with his sudden action

"If you try to disobey me again, I won't mind ending up putting you in the same hospital where you work Doctor, " he gritted, glaring at her. She looked at him with red, teary eyes, still shivering from the effect of the sound of the bullet

" Ahhhhhhh " She cried again and teared cascaded down her eyes when He shot anger bullet in the air making her situation worse , but it was because he again felt the foreign emotions just with a simple glimpse of her teary eyes

" Open your eyes it was just a bullet Doctor " He whispered in a mocking tone and she slowly opened her eyes being traumatized , seeing him tucking back his gun

" Y-You are sick , Mr.Ranawat " She cried out in anger , and shot a fierce look being terrified and a smirk formed on his lips

" Ab to puri umar hai Doctor .Aaram se ilaaz karte rahana Mera " He sarcastically whispered , enjoying the loathing through her gaze . That's what He wants , her hating him , nothing more . As hating always keep away the expectations

" And don't worry you will get used to them as you are already used to blood. Right? Doctor " He mocked while she trembled in anger being helpless . What if He really shoots the next bullet in his skull ? - She thought

"I am but to save life " She said with little anger as she cannot hold back herself when he point at her profession

"But marrying a man who is used to it but to take away lives . Such a cruel destiny you got Sweetheart " He murmured in a low tone , resisting the urge to roll back his eyes at the play of their fates

" Then be careful with your words as I have anger issues Sweetheart " He warned looking at her who was slowly wiping her tears

" Still want to marry me ? , Sweetheart " He asked in a low yet deep tone , leaning his face towards her while she keeps on looking at him with a fearful gaze and trembling lips

" Doesn't matter . Because now , I want to marry you " He answered ,removing the flower from her hair that fell on them when He started to lean towards her

" Because you are a wish of someone I worship . And a promise I want to keep . A responsibility I need to protect . You have to be mine " He murmured with a glint of softness in his tone that astonished her as till the time He has arrived He is just holding a dominating aura

" Meri taraf se Ha hai shadi ke liye " He said , stepping away from her and she whipped her tears . How much She wants to deny but the helpless look of her father is stopping her

" Mandap par milte hai to-be-Mrs.Ranawat " He declared and turned away and started to walk without a second glance and her reply

"But I didn't even see you," She asked loudly with a confused look . Didn't she come here for that ? Her mind wondered

"Don't worry you will definitely not regret to-be-Mrs.Ranawat at alter " He said facing her, intensely looking into her eyes ,which unknowingly have captured his attention unaware to both

"Dushat Jaanwar" She whispered at his arrogant behavior turing back looking at the lotus in the pond

" Where I got stuck Shivji . How I will able to spend my whole life with this vichitra praani ? " She sadly whispered and a tear escaped her eyes

Meanwhile, Ekaksh sat in his car on the way to the airport with a firm intention to start a bloodshed enmity that would cost him dearly in the future. But did he care? No, he was used to this, as his anger was above all else

"That was not the right progress, Isha , from thoughts to reality . You will have to pay for many things even without doing anything " He whispered looking at nowhere and soon closed his eyes , but even with close eyes it was her thoughts which were flashing back-to-back

"Hope for your life Sweetheart " He whispered for the girl who will not leave a chance to become his jaan effortlessly

AFTER FEW DAYS

ISHA......P.O.V..

"Mam please tell me the name "

I come out of my thoughts when the Mehandi Wali Didi shakes my shoulder. She gives me a frown, and I realize I was lost in his thoughts again. Since the time I met him, a different kind of feeling has arisen in my heart. And it is fear-fear of what he will do if I do something that upsets him. Because what can I expect from a person who threatened me with my life just because I put my point in front of him? He was dusht

"Ekaksh," I whispered, and a shiver ran down my spine as the past events with him flashed through my mind. He is dangerous, but I have no choice, as this is the first time Baba has asked something of me. According to him, my situation demands it too. Why? He said it was not his place to tell. When I asked if not his place to tell then who will tell me , all the time he keep silence

I know it's completely my right to make this decision, but the fear that appears on his face whenever the doorbell rings makes me so sad. I've never seen my Baba like this. So, I gave up and left everything to him and Shivji. I have always said, and will never stop saying, that whatever Shivji serves me, I will accept wholeheartedly without question. So this time too, I accept it-or him. Baaki to Ganga Maiya aur Shivji hai hi hamesa mere saath.

"Mam, it's done," she said. I looked at my mehndi-clad hands and legs. It is beautiful, but for whom? That person is definitely a dusht jaanwar with bhrasht buddhi

"Thank You" I said and give her a small smile before standing up and walking towards my room

I sighed heavily and dropped myself onto the bed, my mind suddenly drifting to the park incident. He was a monster-that's all I could think whenever his terrifyingly cold eyes appeared in my dreams. Since the day I met him, everything has gone wrong. First, the unbelievable truth, and now this sudden wedding with a despicable, animal-like creature set to happen tomorrow.

That masked man was truly a curse upon my life. I wish we had never met, or worse, if meeting him meant meeting Yamrajji directly. And as for the husband I'm being forced to marry, he might as well be complicit in this sinful fate

"Seriously, Shivji, who shoots just to threaten someone in first meeting? Just like his name suggests, his personality matches," I said, recalling how he had terrified me so much that my heart raced as if it might stop at any moment

"Kaisa lagta agar kal news ki headline hoti 'Ek Heart surgeon ka maut hua Heart attack se'?" I said, trying to sound like an anchor. My voice came out soft and barely firm, even though I was angry

"So horrible , so brutal just sounding like unbelievable " I said, shaking off the unsettling thoughts

"But even if To-be-Mr. Ji is a dusht jaanwar type of person, his name is still beautiful. Ekaksh," I whispered his name, feeling the knot in my stomach tighten as it had ever since I met him , Ahhhh Ganga Maiya ! What the nark is happening to me , sometimes I feel this strange feelings then the next moment fear grips my heart . Why all these mixed emotions ?

"Aaahhhh Why I am feeling like this " I said, annoyed with myself

"Mr. To-be-Mr. Ji, your name may be beautiful, but your deeds are very fearful. Yet, Mr. To-be-Mr. Ji has an attitude like Mount Everest. I mean, with what confidence he said, 'I will not regret it after seeing him.' We'll find out tomorrow whether it will be a moonlit night or a moonless night," I said, looking at his name imprinted on my palm

"This wedding is being kept low-profile because no one wants to attract any kind of attention, especially To-be Mr. Ji, who doesn't want to reveal anything about this to the world. He claims it's to protect me from his business and political life, but I know it's a pure lie. His words and actions during our first encounter completely contradict that statement .And from that moment, a sense of curiosity has gripped my mind to know why exactly they are keeping it hidden, and the main question is...

"Why is he marrying me?" I whispered, pondering the fact. Baba had explained to me about him in a way that made me think he might receive hundreds of proposals a day. So why did he choose me-a girl completely distant from his world? Completely opposite of his character traits , till I have observed ? . There are many questions but sadly I have no one to give answers to them .

"Hayeeee Meri Aashu ka sapna sapna hi rah jaayega"I sadly sigh remembering her wish to not return my husband's shoes as he is taking her one of the precious things .Tit for tat.

Ek din ye wish bhi puri kar dungi Isha 🥱

"Isha Di "

I heard a voice which broke the chain of my thoughts then looked at the door to find Jhilmil standing there .I smiled her and told her to come and sit beside me

"Look, I brought Cheeni paani for you," she said, making me chuckle internally. What's the point of doing all this when this marriage means nothing to him?

"Give me your hand," she said, and I complied with a small smile. She gently applied the syrup with cotton

"You know, you didn't even need this, Di. Your mehndi is already dark, look," she said, and I looked down. The stains were indeed very dark But it's all about science-people with higher body temperatures typically get better stains. Even if the paste is removed, the stains will darken through oxidation . There is nothing new in it . Science is everywhere .

But wait, I have a low body temperature, which makes me prone to getting cold easily. Moreover, oxidation works over time, and here I haven't even removed half of the henna yet.

"Then why, Ganga Maiya, did I get such dark stains?" I whispered, looking at my hand with slightly concerned look . Nark , in no way that Dusht vykati is going to like , that next step is far and eternity away . Don't think too much Isha , must be some science process and reaction that I am unaware , nothing more . calm down .

"Because he will love you deeply," Jhilmil said with a cheeky smile, making me narrow my eyes . This girl really speaks way too much than her age . Pagal kahi ki .

"Chup kar," I snapped, but she laughed. "Aahhhh, when will I be able to sound firm?"

"And Do you want him to do darklyyyyy-

"Bakkkkk!" I shouted, and she hurriedly ran away with the small bowl. I touched my heated cheeks which must have turned red , Nark ! why i am suddenly feeling uneasy just with the name of his

"It's all because of my fair skin color, nothing else. He himself said not to expect anything," I explained to myself proudly, but deep down, my subconscious mind mocked me, reminding me that skin color does matter when you keep the paste longer. I hadn't even kept it on for 4 hours. I huffed in frustration , fighting with my own thoughts , and all those because of him . He has not even entered my life and already started to capture my mind

"If I don't even want these stains, then why is it happening, Shivji?" I whispered to myself. Soon, I shook off the thoughts. He is surely dangerous for my mental health

Taaki Meri Story progress kare isliye jaan 🥱

Meanwhile our Dulhe Raaj ......

EKAKSH.....P.O.V..

"Ready the jet , we will fly tonight"

I watched Laksh giving instructions to our men through his earpiece, then heard another growl of pain from the person as I delivered another kick to his chest wound. I looked down with a smirk at the man who had tried to go against me. Bloody bastard

"I already warned you that it wouldn't be pleasant if I graced you with my presence, but you found this way most appealing to invite torture," I said, crushing his hand wound which was burnt from his attempt to sign those betrayal papers with that hand ,

"What did you think, that you could betray me with those morons who feed on my money?" I said coldly, gritting my teeth as I applied more pressure, making him wail in pain. Scream, bastard. You deserve it for disobeying my rules

"Those motherfuckers, the Coppola Mafias, will pay for this," I said in rage, already planning the tortures they would endure before begging for death. How dare they think , they will try to create chaos in my Dark realm and can escape easily

"Remember, Mr. Ranawat, what goes around comes around. One day, you will have to pay for all these dirty deeds. You will not bleed but your soul will burn seeing beloved ones in the same position of mine " the half-dead man said, attempting to withdraw his hand making me seethed with fury as his stirred up many horrible memories of mine .

"Look who's lecturing about humanity-a bastard who helped those motherfuckers in human trafficking. Isn't that right, Mr. Leale?" I gritted tightly, fisting his hair while he wailed in pain. The sight of his face disgusted me, not just because of its battered condition after my men had tortured him for days in the most inhuman ways, leaving him barely recognizable as human unless he talked, but also because of his vile actions-especially the most vulgar ones, targeting the females of rival families for revenge. I thew him away and walked past him

" If I am a bastard ? Then are not you a monster " I heard and looked back who was trying to laugh like a manic even if his death was near him . Indeed He is right . I am no less than a monster

"You will pay for your deeds too, just like the way I paid, Mr. Ranawat," he spat venomously, blood trickling from his mouth. A smirk crept onto my lips at his words.

"And who's going to make me pay? There is nothing that can make me feel helpless and get on my knees like the way you are Bastard," I said, looking down at his vulnerable body with disdain

Of course , We feel fear because we let others overpower us. There is no one who can even touch me , overpowering is not even a thought to discuss. We feel helpless if we have weakness but there is nothing that can be used to threaten me . There is no way on can defeat me , The strongest Mafia Lord who owns the biggest and most powerful criminal organization , of the Dark world , who is the sole ruler of The Dark realm , my territory

"You're getting married, right?" he said, and her face appeared in my mind making me close my eyes in frustration , again those strange sensations in my mind stirred up just with a mere thought of her , Why the fuck she has to be the Bride

"That Bi*

Before He completed that fucking word , I abruptly opened my bloodshot eyes and delivered a strong punch on his jaw that the blood come out from his mouth .Suddenly I feel so much rage that I just wanted to end his life , may be her reference from his mouth was his end , I took out my gun and shot near his shoulder making him groan

"That was a bad move fucker , making me remind of her again" I said storming towards him then kicking him on the same place where i shot him before

"And this is for calling her what she doesn't deserve. No one, I repeat, no one can disrespect her and get away with it," I said, shooting him in the head and he dropped to the ground.

She is not related to this world of mine in any way, and she should never have to endure disrespect. This marriage means nothing to me, but still, no one can badmouth her. After all, she has nothing to do with us, so why should she face any disrespect?

"Call his brother and tell him that from now He will be new Underboss of French Mafia gang and tell him to talk to the authorities , I want those things to reach their destination safely till tomorrow " I said looking at the vehicles loaded with the guns and the imported drugs which was hunted by the many organization in the world but at last they will only find it at my place

"Throw him infront of those bastard and fire their mansion at night , let their luck decide their lifetime" I said remembering those fuckers threatening actions , they will die soon.

"Tit for that, you tried to destroy mine and I will make sure yours will be turned into ashes" I said with a smirk , crafting the same thing on this bastard's arm

"Yes Boss" Laksh said before a bow and left

"I fear none," I thought, as I looked at the corpse of the bastard my men were dragging away. "He said I would pay, but how?" I mused silently. He didn't say, because only those pay who are weak, who become helpless, who lack power and money-or more importantly, those with weaknesses. Challenging me would be the worst mistake anyone could make, inviting destruction in the most ferocious way they could ever imagine

"That's why they all fear me. Do you think I will ever feel guilty about my actions? There's no one who can make me feel that way. I am a sadist who lives to kill and destroy," I said, looking at him with a smirk as he finally disappeared from my view

"Boss, the jet is ready," Laksh said, and we moved quickly to reach the airport. Otherwise, I would be late for my so-called wedding. I don't understand why they even need to put on this drama. Can't you live alone all your life? Why the hell do you need a complete stranger to spend your life with ?
