Chapter 31 (Final Showdown)

Harshad

Several lives.

And one decision, could change the lives of people. Though I didn't like the idea. As I said several lives had been depended on my one move one decision. I could do the things in different way, but my brother wanted it this way.

Saint.

But I wasn't.

And he knew this, that was why he sent Dhruv with me. Fucking playing bodyguard game with me. I might be an asshole, but not a betrayer. I wasn't my father.

But more.

I had my own principles, unlike my father. And I never waited to have something that I wanted. I made my way, and I just took what I wanted. Why wait when you could have whatever you wanted in your feet? I never bowed to anyone and I wouldn't, though my brother was different. I would anything for him except bowing to his any command. That wasn't in my nature. He knew that, and he loved me for that. I born to rule, and he was born to spread love, but that doesn't mean he was the best kind of person to hang out. No he wasn't. Nor did I.

He knew what I want and I knew what he wants, but there was difference that he had plan for me which was ridiculous.

"Fuck, what the hell he was thinking when he made this plan?" I cursed as the man passed us. Fucking good for him. I hated this kind of tasks, hiding behind so they couldn't see you- fuck I would love that if they pointed a gun at me rather than hiding.

"Nandini." Dhruv breathed on my neck.

"What?"

"Nandini. He was thinking of making love to her or what else."

Fucking hell. "Stay away from me. I am not Aliya." I punched his stomach.

"Asshole."

"Yeah, I am. Now follow me." I couldn't handle this hiding game anymore. "I had no idea what Manik is doing now. he didn't call today."

"Unlike Manik. I was going to talk about that."

"Something happened?" My body warned me.

Dhruv checked his gun and talked. "I have a bad feelings about that." He unlocked his gun as I waited for him to finish his lines. "Manik texted me!"

"Damn it."

I warned about his plan but he didn't listen, and now we lost contact with him.

"Show me the text." He showed me his phone.

'The plan is changed, go back to the condo.'

I knew he wasn't going to spare him, my blood raged at the thought. Keeping my thoughts to myself I turned to face Dhruv. "Do you want to baby sit me or do you want to save Manik?"

"Huh... Manik." His eyes went dark as he realized what happened. "But what about this?"

"I will handle this. Promise."

I had no idea how but I would. Turning a little my lips cracked in a devilish motion. "I won't mess up. Just find them." Then I left him alone in darkness, and walking towards my death which was already planned by my father.

I was not a fool.

I knew Manik wouldn't text ever. He hated texting on phone. Me either. We called or do our own business alone, unlike my father. It was our first act that we developed together when we were young. So no chance that I would misunderstand who actually sent the text to Dhruv.

Hiding quickly at the corner in darkness as I heard the footsteps, I watched two men passed me. I got my blow pipe and shoot one as he drop to the floor, then silently walked behind another one, and sliced his throat. I didn't look to the other one because I knew my poison already started to work on him.

If father thought that those men were enough to stop me then he was really a fool.

I was not someone who would break easily.

And I would never surrender.

I never obeyed.

And I wasn't planning on doing it.

Then my brother?

No difference. I never obeyed him too. He always put the target in my plat and I decided what I would do with my prey. For the first time he asked me to do something in his way, but he also knew that I wouldn't play in his words. I would mess up the things in my way and cleared up all for him so he never had to face them, but me only.

The security in here was high, though it didn't work.

How my father end up with this politician?

Total idiot.

Well, idiot and idiot make an ass. Simple.

Lame.

I growled in low-bred at me. How could I come up with lame joke in this situation? I should have learned how to joke.

Entering the main entrance hall, I subsided my thoughts as it was not the time for any distraction. I really hate this hid-ency seek game. I scratched the left side of my neck with the blooded knife and moved forward.

Fuckers.

*****

Dhruv

Why I didn't realize that before?

If I did then we could have come up with a different plan. But now I am completely fucked up, no clue, no trace... nothing. I started the car as I thought of where to go, damn sure he didn't hide them in his mansion then the question is where he took them?

As I was querying myself, Cabir called me.

Save this bastard always.

I silently prayed.

"Where?" I answered in question.

"32B, Road-E, Eastern side."

Hell no.

I cut the call and drive fast.

This was really a bad idea. Taking a deep breath, I recalled the moment when I first met his father. And after that God forbade me to revisit him personally. Yes I had see him but never in person. From the very start he made me think like a shit. No idea how his son handled him. What I heard from their past, I realized he was a monster and he really succeed in his damn work of creating another monster.

Thirty minutes later, i reached the place where Cabir was waiting for me.

"Finally." He ran to me.

"What the fuck happened to you." I came out and asked.

"The bloody guards beat me."

'Where are they?"

He pointed at the club.

Of course. His damn lost kingdom.

"For the first time I wish Harshad were here with us." Cabir wiped the blood from his face.

Me too.

"Well, he wanted to but he was needed there more."

Cabir nodded his head as he turned his gaze to the club. We were back to our old memories, where we started our everything. Not that he ever cared. And for us memories means we cared, he knew that. At least we were strong enough to fight our battles, but he wasn't. He was all alone from the beginning.

No family.

Nothing.

"So?" I asked, checking the weapon.

"What else?" Smirking as he scratched his marks.

Hell yeah.

*****

Nandini

My head pounded continuously as I tried to open my eyes.

Oh fuck.

What happened?

I opened my eyes slowly, and trying to realize where I was, then the memories of Manik pinning me to the wall and his father hit him crawled into my mind.

No.

Manik.

Tears burning my eyes, as I searched for Manik, but he was nowhere. I was alone.

"Oh see, who wake up."

I turned around and saw Manik's father was relaxing on the armchair. "Where is Manik?" I asked in a low voice.

"Shut up fucking bitch. Just for you my son fucking went against me." He banged the table. "My whole kingdom just washed away. But what are you? A fucking slut who was brought by me. For my pleasure. But he Had to take you. My fucking son had to take you."

I watched him as his expression changed frequently with every words he said. When I was going to say something I heard noises.

"See, they are fighting, killing my men. For whom? You." Standing in front of me, he gripped my hair then hit me hard. "But tell him I know what he is planning. And His brother was no better than me. I created him. He is another me. And I would love to break him in front of him. I will be back, and that time I will take more than what I invested." He pushed me and I collided with the wall.

I looked around, but there was no presence of him. Then suddenly the door opened, and Manik came into the view.

"Manik." Whispering I ran to him.

"Where is he? Did he do something to you?" he panicked.

"No. He didn't. But he promised he will be back."

"The hell I would let him." Another voice came behind Manik, and I saw Harshad entered the room. He was covered with blood. I panicked when I saw him like his father came for me again. He really scared me.

"But--,"

"No 'but' Nandini. Everything is settled now." Manik assured me, but his father words were still hanging in my mind.

Harshad left the room, but before that he told Manik to take care of me.

''Let's go home."

Home!
