Chapter 61

She gasped, placing her hand on her mouth as the bullet pierced his leg and he fell down writhing in pain.

"I won't let you die, you bastard. You killed my mom and you deserve to suffer. Death will be the easiest." She heard her brown-eyed monster's voice more like a shout, which was full of anger and frustration. She was scared, but she knew Neil was doing the right thing, and he deserved it.

"Tell me the name of your boss, dammit!" Neil shouted, clutching the hair of that man. "Knock me if you want, I won't say anything."

Groaning in frustration, Neil got up and turned only to find Sharanya standing at the doorway with shock written all over her face.

"Sharanya, what the hell are you doing here?" he asked, walking towards her, and her feet moved backward, seeing blood on his hand.

"Bl.blood," she whispered, pointing towards his hand, and that's when he realised she was dead scared of all this.. His kitten was way too innocent.

"I won't hurt you, Sharanya," he said as he wiped his hand with his handkerchief."And you already know that they deserved it," he further added.

"Bhai, they are here." They heard Piyush's voice.

Neil was way too shocked to see five small kids, 5-8 years old, and three ladies, and then something struck her mind. He kidnapped them.

"Great Piyush, Farhaan, and Robin, you all will get your reward super soon," he smirked, while Sharanya's anger rose.

"How could you Neil, how could you just kidnap these little babies?" she yelled, clutching his collar tightly, her eyes red with rage, while he tried not to yell at her.

He jerked her hand "Stay out of this matter, Sharanya."

"You first answer me, why did you kidnap them and those 3 ladies?" Her shouts annoyed him.

"Don't get your nose in this business, Sharanya," he finally yelled, making her flinch."Those bastards are the father of these kids and they are their wife. I kidnapped them because I want them to spill the truth about their boss," he said.

"Still, Neil, they are babies, and it may affect their mental health," she said, and he wanted to bang his head on the well at that moment.

"Go upstairs," he shouted. "Neil, they are crying," she argued. "There are so many options, Neil, what's the point in kidnapping these little babies?"

"That is none of your concern. I will leave them as soon as they spill the truth." he said, and before she could reply, he started, "Not a word now. I know what I am doing."

"Asha Aunty, take Sharanya upstairs," Neil said, "I'm telling you Neil, if you harm these innocent children, whether knowingly or unknowingly, I'll be the first to call the cops."She shouted, making Neil chuckle.

"Listen, I didn't kidnap you all and your children to harm. I just want your husbands to spill the truth about their boss." he said, staring at those ladies..

If you think they are going to say the truth by seeing us and our kids, then you are totally wrong. They don't love us. One lady said, "If you killed us also, they won't say anything because we were just mere slaves of them." Another lady said, "You killed us also."

"Does anyone of you know about their boss?" he asked them. "No we don't but..."

When he walked inside the room, he found her sleeping. Walking a little closer, he found frown lines on her beautiful facial features with some dried tears caressing her puffed cheeks.

Neil's POV.

Was she crying? But why? Maybe because of period cramps. I sat beside her sleeping figure while my traitor hand rose up to tuck the soft tendrils behind her ear. She stirred then moaned in sleep, making me feel uneasy. Why the hell was she moaning in bed?

"Aaahh" Okay, control Neil, it was a painful moan. She was in pain. I slapped myself mentally and caressed her hair. "You okay, Anya?" I asked and she opened her sleepy eyes, slowly staring at me and then sat up with a jerk.

"You jerk, what are you doing here?" She grabbed the metal vase from the bedside table, all set to hit me. "Damn women, I think your period is getting inside your brain," I said, snatching the vase from her hand and placing it aside.

"Jaanwar (animal), wahiyad (disgusting), kamina (jerk)" I heard her muttering colourful profanities under her breath, which somewhat shocked me. "I heard everything by the way," I said, and she looked at me, passing me her tight-lipped smile "Good to know" answer, she got off of the bed but winced at the next moment, placing her hand on her lower abdomen.

"Are you all right?" She held out her hand, glaring at me as if telling me not to touch her."Ohh shitt," she groaned, and I followed her eyes to find the bloodstains on the bed sheet.

"Look.. I'm sorry, it just happened, and it was caused by mist...ake you just lea.I'll change it..ged it.. This is so embarrassing ughh, "she blabbered, stuttering in between."

"Sharanya "Calm down, it's okay, I'll change it, you go and freshen up." I said softly. She shook her head in "No no, I'll handle it with myself." Damn, I am being very messy these days. I placed my index finger on her lips, shutting her up. "Ssshh bass, calm down, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. It's all right, it's normal. Now go and freshen up. I will change it." She looked at me for a few seconds, then nodded her head.

I changed the bedsheet just then she came out after changing into a white t-shirt and black PJ's.

"Neil, you killed those kids?" She asked all of a sudden, making me shocked. The reality hit me hard that she couldn't trust me, that she could never trust me.

I curled my palm into a fist to calm myself down. No, I had to control myself. I couldn't shout at her. She wasn't fine.

I know I went overboard kidnapping her mom in the past and also forcing her and torturing her mentally. That's why she can't trust me. I would never hurt an innocent person.

"Tell me, Neil, did you kill them?" She asked again.

I ignored her question and replied, "I have a few works, so I'll be in study with you for the rest of the day, and if you want anything, please tell me, and I'll make it for you."

"Answer to my question, dammit!" she shouted..

"I've said to you countless times that I won't harm them." She cut me off. "I don't trust you." I clenched my palms upon hearing her sentence, then stared at her face...

I know you don't and I am not begging you to trust me on this matter. You are unnecessarily poking your nose, so it will be better if you put oil on your own wheel." Shouting at her, I walked out of the room while fishing out the cigarette and lighter from my pocket.

When she felt the pain was unbearable for her, she got off of the bed and searched for the hot water bag but couldn't find it. Sighing, she walked to the kitchen, wiping her tears. Period cramps were disasters on the first and second day.

Her eyes fell on the study room. The door was partially open while the lights were on. 'He might be busy doing some work', she thought, and went to the kitchen..

"Kya dhoond rahi ho? (What are you searching for?) " Ignoring him royally, she took out the chocolate from the refrigerator and was about to walk out. Though she was in pain, she wasn't going to ask him about the hot water bag.

He held her hand when she jerked it and said, "Don't touch me." Glaring at him hard, she went back to her room.

___________

She was about to start a fight again when he started, "I know you need this, so don't start a verbal fight," he said, walking towards her with a hot water bag.

She still stared at her and rolled onto her back, cursing under her breath.He sat beside her, placing the hot water bag on her stomach slightly, not putting any weight on it.

"It will be fine." His voice was soft while his other hand went to her hair as he caressed it slightly.

"Why are you being a cry baby, Sharanya? It's normal. It will be alright in 2-3 days, "he said, staring at her face.

"I wish you could also suffer from these period cramps. It makes it easy for you to say that this pain is normal but you don't know how it feels," she said angrily through her gritted teeth.

He leaned dangerously close to her all of a sudden, making her nervous. "What are you doing? Move back," she said, trying to ignore his close proximity.

"I know only girls can handle this pain, but I have a plan to lessen your pain. I read somewhere that a little bit of romance, kisses, and cuddles can subside the cramps." She felt the butterflies start singing and dancing inside her stomach.

"Bullshit," she yelled, but he was quick enough to pin her hands above her head as his face nestled against her neck.inhaled her scent, his nose rubbed on her neck.

Breathing out, her neck arched unknowingly, rewarding him with more access to taste her skin. "Leave my hands, Neil please." Her voice was a soft whisper. No, she wanted him. She wanted his soothing kisses.

"Sure you need rest. I am sorry that I lost my control. I know you told me not to touch you." He smirked and moved back while her jaw dropped and eyes widened.

"You rest. I am going to cook dinner for us." He was about to get off the bed when he heard her groan and hand tugging at his wrist.

"I hate you so much." Crawling on his lap, her lips descended on his. He smiled in between the kisses, his hand clutching her waist.
