A/N: Warning! Violence and cursing ahead! I'm kind of freaking out about this chapter 😅

|MEERA|

I glanced at Karan who was struggling against the man who held him. I gulped as the bastard traced the gun along my neck. He was pissing me off by the second. I tried to move but he gripped my neck and pushed me against the wall and knocking the gun out of my hands.

Karan screamed at him to let me go. I could smell the cigar and his disguised breath. I grunted trying to remove his hands but he tightened it around my neck. "Let me go you asshole!" I muttered clawing at his hands. He stared at me for a few seconds and laughed loudly.

He moved close and I moved my head back as much as I could. His fingers clawed my skin. He traced his nose against my neck, I felt disgusted. I'm going to kick his nuts as soon as I get the chance. Fucking asshole! Who the fuck does he think he is? I was about to do it when he stomped my foot. I screamed as pain coursed through my leg.

"What makes you think that you have control? Huh? I must say I have been kind of dying to meet you. Pictures of you don't do any justice! You are a feisty one aren't you and sexy! No wonder my brother fell into this trap! But, remember I'm not stupid like him!" He whispered and I grunted.

He pulled away with his hands still wrapped around my neck which by now must be starting to bruise. "You were supposed to be dead in that base attack four years ago but that didn't happen. Then I sent some of them to attack you again but someone else died instead of you! What a waste!" He exclaimed and slammed my head hard against the wall.

My vision blurred for a minute, I blinked my eyes trying to process everything. It's because of him that Tushar died! All his fucking fault. He paced around the room and leaned against the table. No one dared to say anything. Even Mihir who required serious medical attention kept his mouth shut. I gasped for air and touched my sore neck.

He puffed the cigarette and smoke surrounded his face. "What to know something else?" He asked me with a smirk on his face. I glared at him and clenched my fists. The urge to kill him now was hitting the peaks. "I'm the one who tormented your boyfriend by sending some threat notes to him. It was fun to see his reaction! Nevertheless, these morons don't even know how to complete one simple task! All they had to do was kill you both and make sure that the bomb blasts took place."

He said with a deathly voice. I glanced at Karan who looked at the gun that was close to my feet. That asshole had knocked it out of my hands. He mouthed bombs and I understood what he was trying to convey. He wanted me to distract them as he would throw the bombs at this place. Perfect plan but there is no guarantee that we will make it out alive. But, then again we didn't care about such things when it comes to protecting our people and our country.

I nodded subtly and he sighed. Adam slammed his hands against the table and pushed it on the ground, causing a loud noise to fill the room. "Fucking Assholes! It was so hard to fake my death! Build a reputation after that and these assholes had to spoil it." He kept blabbering some crap. I was calculating as to how I can kill this asshole.

Suddenly he wrapped his palms around my jaw. I shrieked as he slammed me against the wall again. This time I heard Karan scream at the top of his voice to let me go. I could vaguely make out one of the men taking away the bombs from him. "This is all your father's fault!" My eyes widened when he referred to my father. Who the fuck was this bastard? I squinted my eyes and tried to focus on his face.

He stared at me for a few seconds and smirked. "Ohh you don't know? This keeps getting better and better! Well, Flight Lieutenant Meera Raichand your father former General Arjun Raichand he's the one who brought me to the ground last time! Sure my backup plan worked but it's because of him that I was almost crippled to nothing! Your father is the cause and also your boyfriend's father General Viraj Gupta! Fucking assholes can't mind their own businesses even after being retired! They poked their noses and ruined everything for me."

Dad and Viraj Uncle were part of TIIS? I had never felt more proud to be Arjun Raichand's daughter. The fucking audacity of this man to refer to them that way! He let go of my jaw and I panted. I slowly moved the gun towards me with my leg. He turned again and I hid it behind my legs pressing it against the wall.

"That's why I came up with a grand plan of killing their kids that is you low lives. But, fucking hell that didn't happen either! No worries!" He said and paused dramatically. He tapped his gun against his chin and smirked at me.

"Today right when I kill you here a bomb will go off at the same time! Taking away most of the lives in the military hospital!" My blood ran cold when he said that. Did he plant a bomb there? No, no this can't be happening! He has to be bluffing. I shook my head and laughed.

"You're lying asshole!" I said. He stared at me for a few seconds and began laughing. Even his bodyguards laughed out loudly. He tapped the gun against my cheek and pressed the tip against my chin. "Ohh Meera! Sweet sweet innocent Meera! I'm a terrorist and you think I'm lying?" I swallowed the dread.

Everyone was at the hospital. Veer, his family, my family. The other soldiers. No this can't e happening. I glanced at Karan who's had a panicked look as well. "Rick! Pass me the iPad!" Adam snapped his fingers and ordered. One of them passed the iPad to him. Adam smirked at me and tapped on the IPad.

His teeth were yellow and his eyes were bloodshot, void of any emotions. His neck was covered with tattoos. This was the first time I saw him clearly. The asshole kept slamming me against the wall. I couldn't even focus on a thing.

He showed the screen and I sucked my breath. I pulled the iPad closer to my face with shaky hands. The two men who had kidnapped me last year were fixing those bombs and they smirked at the camera declaring that they were done setting up the bomb. They were dressed up as a bunch of maintenance workers. Fuck! That is how they must have gotten in.

I tried to choke him but he once again wrapped his hands around my neck. "Oh don't worry! I only placed one that is enough to cover your lover's room and of course your family! I'm not that bad. But, if anyone else gets injured then it's their fucking problem! I can't vouch for anything sweetheart." He whispered and I growled.

My neck hurt so bad but what could I do. "You fucking asshole! I'm going to kill you!" He laughed again giving me a sinister smile. "At least all of you will die together like a happy family!" He exclaimed and ran his nose against my neck. I shuddered and pushed his chest. He finally let me go and I coughed panting trying to catch my breath.

He snatched the iPad back. He held up one finger and tilted his head. "One hour Meera! One hour and boom!" He made a woosh noise with his lips and gestured a blast with his hands. There's still an hour. We can go save them. "Behave or I could blow off their head within five minutes by pressing this button! Don't test my patience! For now, I'll be in my office! I can't wait for this to happen! I'll come back to kill you when it's time for the blast!" He flashed a remote in front of my face. As if warning me not to do anything stupid. Fuck! He has the remote! I need that remote.

He kicked my stomach and my legs gave out. I screamed and with shaky legs fell on the floor. I clutched my stomach and scooted closer to the wall. The gun was still hidden behind me. I'm not going to spare this asshole.

"And you are a fucking waste of space Mihir! Only if you weren't so resourceful I could have killed you!" He said and tapped his gun against his chin. Mihir begged him like the scum he was. The first thing I'll do once this asshole will leave is to blow his head off. Adam gave him one last warning stating that this was his last chance and he better not fuck it up.

Some doctor came and treated that low life again. I glared at him while he just smirked in my direction. Once that was done Adam glanced at me and Karan. "Tie them up and throw them in a room! Bring them when I tell you too!" They nodded their heads in sync.

"Hope you have one good last nap before I wake you up!" He slammed the gun against my head and I could hear Karan screaming something and everything turned black. No, no Veer, my family is in danger. I have only an hour maybe less than that and then my mind was blank.

***

I felt someone shaking me and my eyes snapped open. My hands were tied behind my back and my head was pounding. I could feel the blood matted against my hair. Fucking asshole, I'm going to beat the shit out of him. He killed Tushar! I am not going to spare him for that. Karan was nudging me with his legs. When he realized that I was awake he sighed in relief and scooted closer to the wall.

"Shit! How long have we been out for?" I asked him and grimaced in pain. We were after all locked up in another room. It was some sort of a storeroom that had only one window through which the light was shining. Karan panted, "I don't know maybe half an hour! Meera, we need to get out of here fast!"

Veer, my family, and so many other people's lives are in danger. No, no! We need to get out of here. I finally managed to sit next to Karan. "Karan we need to go! We might not have a lot of time left!" Karan hissed in pain. I squinted my eyes to find that he had a huge gash on his stomach.

I quickly scanned the room trying to find something sharp to cut these ropes. That's when I remembered I had my pocket knife in my right pocket. Perfect! I never once failed to carry it. "Karan, quick! Check the right pocket. There's a knife in there!" Karan nodded and I scooted closer.

After lots of struggle, me yelling at him and him cursing at me he was finally able to get a good grip on the chain that was attached to the knife. He pulled it out with his hands and cut his ropes first rather clumsily. "Do it fast! We need to get out of here!"

"Hey, hold on I'm doing! Don't rush me!" I gritted my teeth and controlled the curses that were at the tip of my tongue. "God, you're so bossy! Now I understand why Veer gets so frustrated with you!" I rolled my eyes and flipped him off.

"Oh please! Save it for some other time! I'm going to remember this and get you back for it!" Karan chuckled and cut out my ropes. "You do that!" He replied. I stood up and helped him. The cut wasn't too deep but he was bleeding. He threw the knife back at me and I caught it.

We walked towards the door. Karan gestured at me to try opening it. Taking a deep breath I sent a silent prayer that the door shouldn't be locked. I smiled widely when the door opened. I peeped outside to find two bodyguards with huge muscles seated a few steps away from the door.

"There are two of them and they have guns! Let's go!" I whispered and opened the door. Karan pulled out two rods and passed one to me. One of them turned and pointed the gun at me. I slammed the rod against his head and his body fell on the floor with a thud. Karan did the same with the other bodyguard. We took their guns and ran across the floor. We were on the last floor.

Apparently, Adam is what you call an egoistic man and who has way too much pride. He had only two people guarding our door. Either he did this on purpose or he's actually stupid. Whatever! He shouldn't have underestimated us. One of them came bounding towards us. I pointed the gun at him taking a direct shot that hit his chest. He crumbled to the floor.

Karan pointed at the ground floor from where some voices were coming. "Let's go! I will go from the other side you take the other one!" I whispered and he nodded. We raced down the steps and hid behind some boxes when two men passed. Once the path was clear after shooting them both. We stalked towards a room from where all the voices were coming from.

"Just another twenty minutes and everyone that I loathe will be wiped out from this planet!" Adam exclaimed and began laughing. There was someone else who was laughing with him. I peeked into the door to find that it was none other than Officer Karthik. Fucking bastard! How could he do this? I clenched my jaw and glanced at Karan who had the same expression on his face.

"Thank you, Karthik! This was the best help ever! Your money will be transferred soon! Hope you enjoy the gift!" The asshole laughed and shook hands with that bastard. "No problem at all Adam Sir! It was my pleasure! I would love to see that Veer die! He always thought he had the authority to do anything and had no decency to follow orders!"

The moment those words left his mouth I wanted to slam his head against the wall and crush his skull. I was about to open the door and fire at him but Karan pulled me back who was equally angry. "No Meera control! They still think that we're unconscious. Here take this phone and call your Dad tell him about the bomb. Meanwhile, I'll call for the backup team!"He must have taken the phones from the men that we knocked out.

I took a deep breath and nodded. A couple of them noticed us. Karan shot one while the other one tried to punch me. Well, no luck there. I lifted my leg kicking him in the stomach. Such bad reflexes, so much for looking like a hulk. I punched his face repeatedly.

"Fuck! They heard us! Quick go hide! Call your Dad!" Karan exclaimed and ran to the other side. I scrambled to the other side almost tripped on my way but found my balance. I hid behind some boxes and crouched down. I could see Adam shouting and asking what had happened. I quickly typed the number. I sighed in relief when I heard the ringing noise.

"Hello!" My Dad's voice sounded frantic and sad. "Dad!" I whispered hurriedly.

"Meera? Oh, thank god! Are you okay? Where are you?" I quickly explained the situation. "That bastard did this! Just to get revenge? I'm going to kill him! Are you okay baby?"

"I'm fine Dad! The bomb! It will be going off in another twenty minutes! Do something!" I begged him and he assured me that it'll be fine. "Don't worry Meera! Viraj is making some calls and people are already here! It's been taken care of as we speak! Where are you Meera?" Dad asked me with a stoic voice. I didn't want him to come here.

"Dad! Don't worry about me I'm fine! I'll be there soon!" I sucked in a breath when I felt cold metal press against my neck. "Well, well say goodbye to your daddy dearest! Bye Arjun! Meet your daughter after you die!" Adam smirked. I could vaguely hear Dad cursing into the phone to let me go before Adam threw the phone down and stomped on it.

"I don't care if you spoiled one part of the plan! I'm still free Meera and there's nothing you can do about it! I'll kill you and that's the greatest punishment for them." He placed the gun against my forehead. "Say goodbye to your boyfriend! He has to live the rest of his life without you!"

I was about to punch him but he twisted my hand. I screamed as pain stabbed through my body. My entire body felt tired and my vision blurred. I remembered Veer's face and pulled myself together. I can't give up now. He was about to pull the trigger. I gathered all my strength and stomped my boots against his thigh. He screamed, I pulled my hand away and snatched the gun from his hand.

He threw a punch at me. I ducked dodging it away. I kicked him where the sun doesn't shine. He crumbled to the floor and cupped his precious jewels. "Don't make a mistake of killing me Meera! Don't be your Dad! I can come back again! I did once and I can do it again!" He almost begged me like the coward he was. I rolled my eyes and shot his arm. He screamed in agony, then I shot his chest and kicked him. His body fell with a thud. Good fucking riddance.

"You can't do anything! Someone will continue my legacy! Even if you kill me everything that they need to know is in this building!" He laughed like a maniac. "Then it's a good thing that we're going to blast this entire building right!" Karan exclaimed and pulled out the remote to one of their explosives. Adam began screeching no over and over again. Now it was my turn to smirk.

"Happy journey to hell asshole!" Karan whistled and shot him in the head. Adam was finally gone. A huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. I felt lighter but something else was still lurking in the dark. Mihir fucking Desai!

Karan dragged me towards the exit. "Meera we need to get out! The bomb I set will blast in five minutes!" I shook my head and pulled my hand from his grip. "Mihir is here Karan! I need to kill him! He needs to die in my hands!" I gritted out.

Karan let out a frustrated breath and shook his head. "Meera! Are you out of your mind? He will die! With the rest of them when this place blows up! Come on let's go!" I know I was being reckless but I don't care. I need to go kill him. He has escaped for way too long now. I won't let this happen again. I'm going to make sure that his existence is completely erased!

"No Karan I need to do this! I'll make it out before this thing blasts! You go! Give me the gun!" I snatched the gun away from him and pushed him towards the exit. I sprinted towards the first floor. I ran up the stairs and almost lost my footing but found my balance. I opened the door of the room where Mihir was kept. The asshole was sleeping.

The building shook a bit as a bomb went off somewhere. Shit! I need to be quick. The sounds and the vibration must have woken him up. His eyes widened when he saw me pointing the gun at him. I could see panic and dread fill his eyes. Fuck! If I care. This asshole has made life miserable for Veer, ever since he was a kid.

"No, no don't do this girl! You're not stupid like my son! Adam Sir will kill you if you kill me! I'm someone who gives him all the information." He tapped his hands against his chest and had a manic look on his face. I grimaced and slammed the gun against his face. I fisted his collar as his nose began bleeding.

"Shut the fuck up okay! He's dead! I killed him! Don't ever refer to Veer as your son! He belongs to Viraj and Naina Gupta!" I gritted out. I pulled the trigger and the bullet hit him right on his chest. He stared at me for a few minutes, then he placed his hands over his chest. Blood started spurting out of his chest. I shot him again and again. For all the things that he did to my Veer.  It was only because of him that I lost seven precious years with Veer. It's because of him that Veer will not be able to go back to the army. Veer has suffered enough. Not anymore! He has to die!

A few seconds later his body fell limp on the bed with a thud. The gun slipped out of my hand and I sobbed. It was finally over. There was another sound and the ground shook. I gathered myself together and exited the room. Fuck! The entire first floor was burning. I ran down the stairs and was about to use the front entrance but then a few boxes near the entrance was now on fire.

Smoke filled the room and I coughed. My chest felt clogged up. My vision started to blur. I stumbled and found my balance. The back entrance! I could use the back entrance. I tripped a lot but finally managed to reach the back entrance. The fire was almost catching up to cover this exit as well. I was so tired.

Someone pulled me at the last minute and we ran out as the entire factory blew up. It was Dad! He was here! I groaned stumbling but Dad held me. I glanced at the factory to find it now covered in flames. There is no doubt that everyone inside is toast. Every last bit will be turned into ashes.

I sighed leaning against my Dad as we walked. He kissed my forehead and held me tightly. "Well, I didn't know you could still run like that!" I said and Dad chuckled. He shook his head and kissed my forehead. "I'm not that old Meera and no one can ever outrun me. I was always good at that." I smiled and hugged him.

"Thank you! I'm really tired!" I sighed against his chest. He hugged me and caressed my hair. "Come on let's go! You need to get a check-up!" He pulled me towards the car where Karan was waiting while leaning against the car. He looked relieved the moment he saw me. I glanced around to find a few of the officers putting handcuffs on some of Adam's men and throwing them into the van.

"Thank god you're okay! I swear Veer would have killed me if something would have happened to you!" He joked, I laughed and hugged him. "That had to be the bravest and the stupidest thing to do!" He said as I pulled away. I could still hear the building crumbling. I rolled my eyes and leaned against the car to find my Dad talking to someone on the phone. He cut the call and walked towards where we were standing.

"Nothing to worry about! Everything is taken care of! The bomb that was at the hospital was deactivated and everyone is safe. No one is injured." I sighed and nodded. "So, you're a part of TIIS huh?" Dad chuckled patted my head. "Well, I am! Not officially but kind of undercover! Some of us need to be at the game all the time!"

I smiled at him and nodded. I'm so proud of him and proud to be called his daughter. "I'm so proud of you Meera!" My eyes welled with tears when he said that. "I couldn't have done half of the things that you did! I'm really proud of you!" I smiled at him and hugged him. He sighed and rubbed my back.

"Let's go back to the hospital. Both of you need medical attention." I nodded. Dad told me on the way that everything is being sorted out and Officer Khan had been informed. As for Jeffery, Jagan, and Charlie, they will be held hostage until all the information about their secret lairs where they make these bombs and information on all the other things that take place in the organization. After everything is taken care of they will be sentenced to death. In my opinion, that's nothing compared to all the horrendous things they have done.

We reached the hospital and Mom shouted at me for a good five minutes after which she sobbed and hugged me tightly. "I am never letting you out of my sight for the next I don't know as long I tell you to!" I laughed and humored her. "As you say, mother!"

Thankfully I didn't have a concussion which was amazing considering the number of times that asshole slammed my head against the wall. Although the doctor did warn me to watch out for it. He prescribed me some pain medication. My wounds were dressed. Finally, everything was over. The only thing that I wanted now was to have a happy life with Veer.

I sighed and leaned my back against the pillow. My eyes closed on their own accord and only one face flashed before my eyes. That was Veer. I can only hope that he would wake up soon. I groaned when some tapped my hands trying to wake me up. I blinked my eyes open to find Veer hovering over me. I could hear the commotion behind him. A nurse was shouting at him to get back to his room.

"Hi!" I whispered, Veer smiled at me and leaned forward to kiss my forehead. I sighed and wrapped my arms around his neck. He was shirtless and had a bandage wrapped around his chest. Warmth spread across my body. "You're okay!" Tears fell from his eyes as he stared deeply into my eyes. I don't think he knows about the recent events that had taken place.

I cupped his cheek and ran my fingers over his stubble. "I'm okay Veer! You saved me!" Veer laughed and I wiped the tears with my thumb. "I love you!" He whispered and brushed his lips against mine. A few tears fell from my eyes and I smiled into the kiss.

"I love you too!" I whispered against his lips. "By the way that was the worst way to confess your feelings!" I murmured. He laughed and sat down beside me on the bed. He hugged me and I wrapped my arms around his waist. He kissed my head and we sat there not caring who was saying what or who thought what. All of this was worth it because at the end of the day I was living my dream and that was Veer. Being with him had always been my dream and I couldn't have asked for better. I know for a fact that no matter what hurdles we may be hit with in the future Veer and I could face it because our love was greater than it all and that was enough for this life.
