"This hair is Mine
These lips are Mine
This face is Mine
This body is Mine
You are MINE"

DEVIL

...

Staring at the iceberg, Omy's gaze froze as his eyes widened briefly for a few seconds before returning to their usual composure.

Avyaan's icy gaze bore Omy with an intensity that seemed to pierce through him and conveyed a silent warning or threat.

There was an eerie silence.

Omy cleared his throat and asked, "Hello Sir! Can I ask you the reason for your being here?".

Avyaan's icy gaze remained fixed on him and his silence spoke volumes.

"Where is Ms. Tarana?", Kian finally broke the silence and asked Omy.

"Omy! What are you still doing here?".

Suddenly, the same feminine voice came from behind Omy. Everyone including Avyaan looked at the lady who walked slowly and her stomach was bulging out.

His eyes narrowed down dangerously as he could understand that the previous call for Omy also came from the same lady.

That lady also stared at the men in black suits and Avyaan who was sitting in the wheelchair. She frowned slightly as she felt an unfriendly aura and threat oozing out of them.

"Sister! Go inside. These gentlemen are asking for someone I know", Omy said and at this moment, another man came at the door and stood beside the lady.

"What's going on here? Who are these people?", That man asked Omy while wrapping his arms protectively around the lady.

"Brother-in-law! This man is someone I know. No need to worry. Go back inside. I will come in two minutes", Omy said to his brother-in-law.

Omy's brother-in-law and sister gazed at Avyaan as they nodded their heads and went inside the room.

"Where is Tara?", Avyaan asked coldly as he looked like a fierce wolf.

Omy cleared his throat and responded, "Sir! I don't know where Tara is and why are you asking me about her? Is she alright? What happened?".

Omy's overflowing concern made Avyaan's fist clenched tightly as he gave a curt nod to his subordinates and one of them barged into the hotel room.

Omy who waited for a response was perplexed as his eyes widened while looking at Avyaan and asking him, "Sir! What are you doing? It's wrong. You can't trespass like this. You are crossing the privacy of my family members".

Avyaan's eyes hardened as he looked at Omy and said, "I asked you a simple question - 'Where is Tara' but you started singing a poem. Do you think I'm in the mood to play?".

Omy gulped down nervously because the dangerous and cold aura coming out from Avyaan simply threatened him. His eyes easily caught the hidden existence of the guns in the pockets and arms of Avyaan's men.

"Tara is not -", Omy was saying but before he could finish his sentences, that subordinate returned and reported Avyaan.

"King! Ms. Tarana is not inside. I searched everywhere", the subordinate spoke and Avyaan's eyes shifted back on Omy who trembled slightly under the deadly silence and threatening gazes of Satan.

Suddenly, Avyaan's lips curled up in a sinister smile as his eyes twitched coldly.

"Her current location is still showing this hotel room. Did you take me as a fool?", Avyaan's voice was low and cold.

Omy shrudded and simply wanted to close the door on Avyaan's face but he could not do it. It was not possible. He did not dare to do anything reckless and poke the devil's nerves.

"I think there's a misunderstanding here. I am here with my sister and brother-in-law. Tara is not with me", Omy explained truthfully to Avyaan.

"Then why is her location still showing this room?", Avyaan inquired in a low tone.

Omy shivered and pursed his lips before speaking, "Can you give a call to Tara's number? Because I swear, She is not with me".

Avyaan gave a firm nod to Kian who made a call to Tarana but Omy's phone started ringing.

They all stared at each other's bewildered faces.

Kian again made a call and Omy's phone rang as they all could hear the ringtone of a romantic song.

Not only Avyaan's but all men's eyes were glued on Omy who could not help but tremble under their murderous gaze

"Omy! Your phone is ringing", suddenly, the iciness was broken by Omy's sister who came and handed his phone to him.

Omy's hand held the phone tightly as he stared at the unknown number flashed on his phone screen.

Kian again punched the number and Omy's phone rang. Omy attended the call and Kian's phone received that the receiver had picked up the call.

Omy scratched his head and said hurriedly, "Sir! This number is mine. It belongs to me".

Avyaan tilted his head as if he were calculating something while staring at Omy.

Suddenly Avyaan asked, "If this phone number is yours then why was Tara using it?".

"Because She asked me and I gave it to her to use it in the woods for your safety purposes. She did not want anyone to trace your location and harm you. She used my phone only to contact me for the need and necessary items to transfer to the hut. Most importantly, I have two numbers registered in my name", Omy explained honestly but Avyaan's head buzzed.

All the members of Scorpion Satan were stunned but the next moment, their chests filled with pride as they admired Tarana for her guts, bravery, and brain.

"Give me Tara's contact number", Avyaan spoke and Omy immediately ranted Tarana's number and Kian's notes down.

Avyaan's wheelchair turned around as he moved but suddenly he stopped and glanced at Omy and said in a threatening tone, "Tell everything to my subordinate what she did in these past three months, including the money matters and the loan sharks".

Omy's heart was about to explode as he mentally prayed to the lord for his safety.

"This man knows everything. How? How is it possible?', Omy pondered over the enigma of Avyaan's knowledge, and the next moment, he found that Avyaan's wheelchair retreated from his hotel room.

On the other hand, Sunaina took a deep breath as she filled her lungs with the fresh air of her hometown.

"Shimla city", Sunaina said as she looked at Nilay loading their luggage in the trunk of the taxi.

"Let's go", Nilay said and she instantly followed him and they both sat inside the taxi.

Nilay looked outside of the window and Sunaina continued to stare at his handsome features.

Her chest swelled up as she admired him more than before.

"Nilay! Can I hold your hand?", Sunaina's words caught him off guard as he looked at her bewilderedly.

"You really like to give me shock, huh?", Nilay said as he pinched her cheeks softly.

Sunaina's heart melted but suddenly the thought of him being thinking of her as a child crushed all her hope.

She sulked and murmured, "I like you a lot more than you seem to realize".

Nilay heard it clearly as he looked deeply at her bulging cheeks and said in an unhurried tone, "Divita! I know it was my mistake to think of you as a child but I want to clarify something important to you. I don't like you. I am not interested in a relationship".

Sunaina's heart ached at the way he brutally crushed her all hope to claim him.

"Why?", Sunaina questioned him boldly as her eyes pierced his gaze.

Nilay looked away from her intense eyes and said, "Do you remember exactly what you told me in the hospital?".

Sunaina's brows furrowed confusedly as she tried to remember what Nilay was talking about.

"I was abducted by bad people from returning from my tuition classes", Nilay said and a bell rang in Sunaina's devilish head.

The tension thickened as their eyes locked in a silent exchange. Suddenly, Nilay's two words shattered the quietness, hung heavily in the air, and accused Sunaina, "You lied."

Sunaina's mouth twisted with bitterness as her heart raced uncontrollably.

"What?", she whispered in disbelief, and, her voice was barely audible amidst the tension.

"You lied to me, Divita. You said that you were kidnapped by the bad people after returning from tuition and just today, you admitted that you are not a kid but an adult of 25 years old. Then can you please elaborate on which 25-year-old woman came from tuition classes?", Nilay said and Sunaina was clean bowled by his observation and calculations.

Nilay's accusation cut through the air and his words also hit Sunaina like a ton of bricks and left her speechless and she was utterly exposed.

For a few seconds, Sunaina felt her world spin as she got caught in her web of deceit. His observation and calculations left her stunned.

"There are so many strange things about you Divita. My intuition never fails me. This time too. My intuitions are giving me unidentified waves about you. You are already a 25-year-old woman but still living in an orphanage. As far as I know, the further limit for staying in an orphanage is 18 years", Nilay's words sliced through the tension.

He drew closer to her while his gaze pierced her.

At this fleeting moment, Sunaina felt a wave of unease wash over her while all she could hear was her wild running heartbeat and those minty breathings of Nilay which was fanning her face and sending chills to her with each exhale

Her eyes betrayed her inner turmoil as she trembled slightly under the weight of his penetrating gaze.

"Sir! We are here".

The taxi driver's interruption jolted Sunaina and Nilay out of their intense moment as their locked gazes abruptly broke away as they were brought back to the present.

They both looked at the destination they have arrived.

Nilay took Sunaina's hand and stepped out of the taxi.

Sunaina read the board twice and then she looked questioningly at him. There was an ominous feeling floated in her heart and mind.

"I am handing over to you to the police", Nilay said as he looked at the sign board on which it was written 'Police Station of Shimla city'.
