He stood there staring at the silhouette...Who kept giggling at him with her hands behind her back

"Itna bhaag kyu rahe theyy!? Chehra itna utra hua kyu hai? Aisa ka-kyu lag raha hai tumne bhootni hi dekh liya ho!? Ya phir kuch bhootni se bhi batthar hi dekh liya ho?" He heard his sweetheart's innocent voice, the person he desperately wanted to see was right in front of him speaking to him yet he couldn't move any of his muscles one bit... couldn't dare take a step ahead because that would mean what he was seeing right now would become an ultimate truth....

The person in front of him wasn't his sweetheart by any means he couldn't get himself to believe it even though this face was the one he always yearned to see...It was the same voice he fell in love with but Her aura screamed different right now, it was the same eyes he admired so lovingly yet they were now Void , Blank and had wicked glint in it with no warmth in them rather had a eerie coldness in it...Her innocent laughter which was a music to his ears were now haunting and sinister...Where was her innocence? Where was her warmth? Everything is missing now...she was outwardly looking identical to his sweetheart but it was not her, it was definitely not her...he wouldn't believe it

"BELLE!!" Sayesha's stern voice snapped him out of his reverie as she pushed vansh behind her and walked closer to Shayra who was now silently staring at them all with a constant  smile on her face...Even though it was a smile something about it was very unsettling

Arhaan who had now caught up shined his phone light and saw one side of her face covered in blood...which was now dripping down her face was taken aback...but his worries for his sister-in-law only increased

"Shayra? Oh my god! Chalo jaldi hospital chalte hai! Tumhe itni chot aayi hai??kisne itni chot pohochayi tumhe??" Arhaan asked with concern walking closer to his sister-in-law

"Inn dono ne!" She innocently giggled showing off the two human heads that was detached from its bodies...Dangling in her hands which she was hiding behind her up until now... Arhaan froze in his place with chills running down his spine as he wasn't expecting any of this...He felt his entire world spinning around him and directly fell to the ground hitting his head hard on the floor

"ARHAAN!! No!" Sayesha screamed in panic rushing to his aid

"ARU!!" Rehansh screamed running towards his little brother ...But time seemed to have stopped for Vansh who couldn't even have a proper reaction to his surroundings...He couldn't take his eyes off his sweetheart nor could he move to help his brother... Rehansh who hadn't known what made  his lil brother faint, shined his phone light right ahead and saw a sight he never imagined to see in his entire life time

There stood Shayra in all her glory her long , lustrous hairs freely hanging loose around her waist, her hands holding two human heads as she kept dangling them in front of her almost as if she's showing it off to everyone..... smiling as she did it proudly, with Half her  face, her clothes and hands covered in blood because she had massacred many...Arav and Shivin who reached there gasped in shock seeing the scene

"Oh no! Yeh toh gir gaya!!" Shayra innocently asked looking at Unconscious Arhaan," par Bebe mene toh sirf vahi Kiya jo isne poochaa mujhe...mene toh sirf mujhe jisne chot pohochayi unhe hi toh dikhaaya!" She said looking at the heads in both her hands... Abhimanyu didn't move a muscle he stood there silently with his head hung low.....as he knew any wrong move would lead to his death...Sayesha might be the angriest one but she's the only one who's merciful when it comes to punishing...Shayra though is not the one to be pissed off easily but still if she's pissed then she is a complete monster

"Abhimanyu! Paani le aau! Backup bulaao!" Sayesha yelled aggressively still trying to warm up Arhaan's palms which was cold now..... Abhimanyu ran off  to do the same as Rehansh took Arhaan's head in his lap and tapping his cheeks still calling his name...soon as ordered 4-5 of her men arrived with water bottles for Arhaan which she grabbed the bottle out of their hands in haste and sprinkled some water on his pale face....as he slowly gained his consciousness.

"Sarr kaat diya! No!! No no!" He gasped waking up, remembering the fragments of what happened earlier as fear gripped his heart and Arhaan  struggled to get out of everyone's hold not realising it was only his wife and brother with him...His eyes trained straight ahead of him towards Shayra who stepped towards him frowning

"Tum utt Gaye!? Kya hua aapko? Ji-ja-ji??" She asked casually as if she isn't holding two human heads in her hands...there was a slight mockery in her tone...Arhaan's eyes widened in fright as he again started screaming his lungs out...Sayesha sprang into action and stood up in between Arhaan and Shayra completely blocking them from each others sight...even Shivin stepped backwards unconsciously seeing Shayra coming closer

Arav was alert and frightened ofcourse but more than that his confusion and shock increased each second seeing the indifference in Shayra's behaviour even when the sewage water is still flowing red with two heads in her hands and she was clearly bathed in blood of whoever she murdered...His mind was in shambles how the situation was overturned just when he thought maybe VRS was way too dangerous choice as a life partner for this little girl Shayra but here the situation isn't the same now...it seems now she's more dangerous to VRS than he is to her..

Arav still couldn't wrap his head around the fact that how someone so cute so innocent and to some extent silly could suddenly be so incredibly cruel and indifferent...He was sure if they walked further they will be met with all the dead bodies of the people she slaughtered just moments before they reached here following the sounds to be more precise agonizing screams

"Regina! Stand there! Don't move ahead!" Sayesha's loud command pulled Arav's attention back to the present as he held shivin's shoulder to reassure him

"I'm sorry it's all my fault...Aap sab yaha se chale jaana! Please!" Sayesha requested which surprised Rehansh who thought of her as someone who wouldn't apologize so easily...She looked at Arhaan with concern etched on her face as she commanded.

" Escort them all back out of here safely...And take them to medbay to check him!" Pointing at her husband...As Rehansh had helped his little brother to stand back up on his feet and arav held his shoulder to support him and help him walk...His stance was wobbly from all the dizziness and his head hitting the ground but both Arav and Rehansh were very gently holding him up and guided him back out of this place with Shivin and the guards surrounding them.

"My precious voh-"

"Voh aayegi! Tum abhi chalo uppar! Yaha bohot suffocating hogi tere liye aru!" Rehansh shut Arhaan's protests to be with his wife and quietly led him out...he wouldn't let his Lil bro stay here for another second

"Voh phenko!" Sayesha commanded approaching her even when all the other members remaining here were too afraid to even look Shayra in the eye.. It's not like they were normal people...Her gang members were all trained assassins... Killing isn't a big deal for them yet they all looked pretty shakenup by the scenes ahead aka the place from where shayra emerged from...The blood splattered everywhere slashed down damaged bodies lying around in some of the most gruesome manners that even nearly twisted the trained killers guts too as they were sent to 'explore'  the damages done by their Regina and safe to say it wasn't just normal damage .....But Sayesha on the hand casually peeled the heads away from her hand and pulled her further aside to talk....After silently commanding  the guards to pick the head and find ways to dispose it off without a trace

Vansh's eyes never left their observation work though... He also began observing Sayesha's body language...How she wasn't even a tiny bit fazed by the turn of events...And now that he thinks it over...As soon as they were approaching the screams She constantly tried to send them all back as if she knew what awaited further ahead...He thought If all of his assumptions were true then it meant that this could've been happening in a regular basis....Which made him jump back to this morning when his brother had pissed her off yet he was only awarded with a punch not gruesome evil behaviour like now...Even thinking such way about his sweetheart made his heart clench in ways he couldn't fathom

"Ansh!" Rehansh's stern voice called him snapping him back to reality as it also gained Sayesha's attention...She looked straight into Vansh and Rehansh's eyes with a sad look...And to vansh it somehow didn't show her usual arrogance but rather something more humbling, somewhat guilty express marred her face...The trio maintained eye contact for a few more seconds and then Rehansh took Vansh by his hand and led him out of there

"Abhimanyu! Unke saath jaao...and raaste mei Samaira ko call kardena..I expressly and only want her to treat Arhaan's ailments!"Sayesha commanded...

"Arre pati pe bada pyaar aaraha hai tujhe Aaj? Huh?" Abhimanyu looked at her for a few seconds contemplating if he should give his comment on this but decided against it realising this wasn't time for such jokes...He jogged out of there to catch up with Raisinghania brothers

Few hours had passed already...it was dawn..Nobody really slept except for Arhaan who was tired from all the medications... Rehansh never left his side for a second while Vansh couldn't manage to stay at one place with so many thoughts in his mind he didn't know what to express and what not to...Even Arav couldn't help but be worried how His little sister Sayesha is handling the situation all alone...That's when he spotted Abhimanyu still around the front lawn

"Yeh abhi bhi yaha kya kar Raha hai!?" Vansh questioned with eyes narrowing at abhimanyu who was standing on guard at the front lawn

"ha vahi toh isse toh Sayesha k saath hona chahiye thaa!unn dono ka bodyguard jo hai" arav replied

"Tum dono ko kya lagta hai usse bodyguards k zaroorat bhi hai? Ki logon ko usse bachne k liye bodyguards k zaroorat hai!?" Rehansh laughed humourlessly referring to Shayra whereas Vansh looked extremely unimpressed knowing what his brother was implying about his sweetheart

"Haa soch ke dekhne se toh I'm so proud my sweetheart's so powerful and strong with a name in the underworld that could sent shivers down people's spin and today I believe I got an insight into why she actually got her name Regina...She's indeed a Queen meant to reign!" Vansh declared smirking, Rehansh's and Arav's jaws were on the floor hearing his declaration

"Aise kya dekh rahe ho!? Remember how I said I am not sure how am I supposed to convey I am in the Mafia?I wasn't ever willing to leave the mafia for a girl..And was worried How will my work affect our relationship? Which is why I decided forget her, look at my luck  Now everything's made easier she actually belongs to our world...she's such valient warrior look at her bathed in her enemy's blood... Taking revenge on someone that wronged her...I would love to have such a Strong-willed queen by my side...or rather proudly reign by her side, now that I know she's the leader  of the Second most vicious and Feared gang in the underworld!" Vansh happily said... Rehansh and Arav couldn't believe what they heard

"Ansh? Don't you think both girls are...I mean something is so off with both these girls ?" Rehansh asked

"What do you mean weird? Khoon hum kare toh theek hai? Torture tum karo toh theek hai? Magar meri sweetheart ne yaa Sayesha ne kiya toh galat ho jata hai?huh?" Vansh answered defensively

"Aisa nahi tha mera context...but don't you see it...Shayra is The Daughter of encounter expert aka CB-CID Chief Raizada, who is known to have solved and convicted many psychopaths and serial killers... Sayesha's father is one of the most talked about Businessman with a high reputation of being a civilian consultant to CB-CID and helping  them in solving many cases... Shayra's mother Queen Mrs.Raizada, A leading Criminal lawyer who is considered Tigress in a lawyer's coat...When all of their family is clearly against Crimes why are these two being in the Mafia!? Don't you think yeh ajeeb hai? Don't you think yeh bhi ajeeb hai ki yeh dono family se itni doorr itne saalon hai ? Kyu? Kya vajah ho sakti  hai? " Rehansh put forth all of the questions at once

"Voh sab bhi chodo Rehan bhai! Kya hum uske baare mei baath kare jo Usne Kiya kuch ghanton pehle! She murdered people...I mean not Like we don't do it but the cruelty, indifference and that smile? Smiling when she's killed someone...It's not even a smile its a grin...she was Grinning like a psychopath when she was holding the heads-

"Tu Aru ko akele chod ke aaya Shivin!?" Vansh questioned cutting his blabbering off

"He's sleeping soundly VRboss...kal tak toh jaagega bhi nahi!" Shivin said

"Arre tu ne usse waapis sone kyu Diya? Usne poora din kuch nahi khaaya hai atleast Ek glass Turmeric Milk pii lega toh accha hota na!" Rehansh exclaimed

"Rehan bhai! Usse theek se baita tak nahi jaa raha thaa...plus aadhe neendh mei bhi biwi ki tension satha rahi thi usse...voh biwi jisko uski koi parwaah hi nahi abhi pata nahi kaha ghoom Rahi  hai iss waqt!" Shivin replied

"Shut up Shivi! Sayesha paas kaam bohot hai...Pata nahi hai kya tujhe??...voh crime scene sambhalna hai...choti behen ko sambhaalna hai...Usne khud kuch subah se khaaya nahi...tujhe kya lagta hai voh tired aur hungry nahi hogi!? Kuch bhi bakwaas karna hota hai tujhe...Sahi se neendh poori nahi Hui toh tu aise hi kuch bhi bolta hai...toh chup chap chal jaake soo Jaa!" Arav Rebuked Shivin as even Vansh agreed with it and glared at him

"Meri neendh kaa chodo...aap toh gharwaalon k neendh kaa sochne lago! Kyuki Jo speed mei inn dono beheno Ne humaari neendh udaayi hai naa...Daadi, chachi aur chachu ka neendh ka toh na jaane kyaa hoga!?" Shivin asked

"What do you mean Shivin!?'' Rehansh asked

"Ofcourse Rehan bhai socho! Sayesha kitni dangerous hai aise humne socha because voh toh hai na pheonix...Lekin kismat ka khel toh dekho! Uski choti behen toh usse kahi zyaadha gayi guzri cheez nikli! Ghusse mei naa jaane kya kya kar baiti hai! Kya pata gharwaalon ko-"

"Shivin Deepak Mehra!" Vansh yelled,"khabardaar agar Meri Sweetheart k baare mei ek aur galat shabdh kahi toh! Jaao yaha se tum...isse pehle ki mei tumhe kuch kar doon!" He warned lowly still glaring at him as he Quietly nodded

"Sweetheart isn't exactly a Sweetheart you see!"shivin murmured pacing up the stairs...And going towards Arhaan's room

A little knock on the door startled Arhaan who was half awake and laying on bed too tired to sit up..On hearing the knock he straightened up and looked at the door

"Did I scare you? I apologise that wasn't my intention!" He heard His wife's gentle voice by the door and heaved a sigh of relief

"Can I come in?" Sayesha hesitated and he nodded not trusting his voice when his heart is racing so fast...He was still drowsy and tired...She could tell standing by the end of the bed she was about to ask about his checkup when all of a sudden he stood up from his bed and half sprinted into the bathroom attached to the room almost tripping over...Sayesha followed him in as he emptied his guts again as she said some soothing reassurances and gently rubbed his back in circles trying to calm him down...He was done puking...she took the towel nearby and soaked it in water and wiped his mouth with it

"You should rinse your mouth too Arhaan!" She said gently and led him back to bed after he did so

"You get comfortable here! Lemme just bring you some ORS !" Sayesha said seeing him get exhausted because of the puking...Samaira had reported his condition to her...He has a slight concussion...it's not severe but as he hasn't ate much throughout the day he might face acidity and puke alot which may result in exhaustion and dehydration..which is why she had already bought some ORS powder while coming back...she left the room to prepare it when she saw shivin coming her way

"Tum?" Shivin gasped surprised seeing Sayesha's suddenly exiting Arhaan's room who didn't even make any efforts to acknowledge him

As she walked downstairs to the kitchen Rehansh suddenly spotted her going to the kitchen

"Yeh kab aayi!?" He said pointing at her as Vansh and Arav wondered how did they not see her walking into this house or even hear her car rolling up the drive way

"I don't think we were that engrossed in our conversation to not notice her!" Arav voiced his confusion..not realising that this mansion has many other secret entrances that only sayesha and Shayra knew

"Exactly!" Vansh agreed

"Whatever I'm going to check in on Arhaan again...and maybe stay in his room until morning...you both should go sleep!" Rehansh said ascending the stairs as Vansh decided it's best to retire to his bed to try and get some sleep while Arav couldn't help but wanted to be near his sister and support her by some way for easing her job...she had too much in her plate right now and he wanted to lower her burden

Thinking all of that he walked into the kitchen and saw Marcus boiling some water alongside Sayesha who was busy cutting a packet and pouring the contents into a glass...Then she searched for a lemon and cut it in half..place the glass of Hot water solution and the lemon on a small tray...Arav stood at the entrance quietly observing his sister...She looked up noticing him and just gave a smile as usual...Which didn't quite reach her eyes...He knew then and there she's not as okay as she's showing herself to be

"Itni raath ko hot water aur lemon kaha le jaa rahi ho sera!?!" Arav asked trying to strike a conversation seeing if she could share somethings and feel lighter

"Arhaan k liye! Bohot dehydrated lag raha hai jab mili thi usse!" She answered shortly and walking out of the kitchen with Arav walking by her side...they reached the room and as soon as She entered the room

"What are you doing here?" Rehansh's stern voice came through...He was angry.... Arav could actually see Sayesha's gaze harden

"This is MY ROOM...what are you doing here?" She shot back sassily as Rehansh was taken aback by her reply...She completely ignored him walking upto Arhaan who was sitting on bed with his back against the headboard too tired to be concentrating on any of his surroundings and too scared to lay back on bed because he thought he was going to puke again

"Arhaan..." She called in the most calmest and sweetest voice they've all ever heard her speak in... Surprised expression covered their faces as Arhaan instantly opened his eyes, directing his attention on her

"Look! I brought you  ORS solution mixed in some luke warm water! Here drink it! You will feel good" She gently said handing him the glass as he drank it slowly without any hesitating smiling as he drank

"Here's a lemon...do smell it when you feel more nauseous...and here's nausea medication you can take it if you want...Here's water bottle with normal temperature water...!" She showed him everything she brought...and walked into her walk-in closet without so much as a word to anyone standing there watching her....And that was their cue... Rehansh, Shivin and Arav walked out of the bedroom bidding him goodnight...even though Rehansh wasn't so keen on leaving but Arav just pulled him along against his wishes

Sayesha sat by Arhaan's side the whole time trying to ease his pain....He would jerk awake every moment he felt nauseous as Sayesha assisted him to the Restroom and led him back safely trying to make sure he didn't fall down due to dehydration.... She tried giving him small sips of ors solution....In all this she reminsced how this whole kidnapping fiasco was Shayra's alone mission to discover a Child trafficking gang and kill all the members...

Shayra had deliberately went through the whole plan all by herself without informing anyone except few of her loyal guards who Hide it all from sayesha, making her believe it was a real kidnapping, Sayesha almost relived the moment when she and Shayra were kidnapped 10 years ago, all those fears, pain and sufferings had resurfaced because of one stupid decision from Shayra's side...Sayesha felt so angry that she beat the living hell out of Shayra and her loyal guards and left them at the dungeon of their Warehouse as a punishment for dragging everyone into this because of her arrogance and hoped Shayra would learn her lesson
