The masked man had entered Annika's house earlier that evening and had inspected all the rooms and places. He had meticulously planned this attack. He moved to her room to find it locked. He smirked and pushed the door hard, the latch snapped as he had loosened the screws and now started to scan the room for Annika. Not finding her here he started to laugh out loud,Annika could hear the laughs and was shivering with fear.

"Do you really think am that dumb my sweet Annika, I know everything about your house even that your hiding in Saahil room behind the cupboard", and he jumped across the partition.

Annika brought her self out from there, facing the devil. "Am going to make you mine Annika, am going to take you away from here where there is only you and me and no one else. Not even your family."

" why are you doing this, I have a brother and a small sister, they can't live without me and I can't live without them", she pleaded begging in front of him to let her go.

"Come on, do I care. Ok let's do this I will kill them and make it look like an accident or suicide, so then your responsibility over and we can live happily." He laughed at his own thought.

Her eyes now spitting fire and she stood up slapping him hard making him stumble, "Don't you dare speak about my Saahil or Gauri or else I will kill you." For a moment he got scared seeing so much of anger in her eyes but then he composed himself and pushed her back.

The feeling was getting more intense for Shivaay and he wasn't able to control. He finally decided to call it a night but agreed to Rudra and Om sleeping with him in his room. They walked to his room and he settled him self on one side of the bed picking his phone only to realise that it's dead. Irritated he kept it on charge and decided to change into something more comfortable. He switched on his phone waiting for the brand msg to end before he actually can see the screen.

"How dare you slap me", and he slapped her back cutting her lip and her head banging against the floor making her disoriented.

"I have been patient and nice to you but you take advantage everytime ,first you keep running to that Shivaay and now you hit me but not anymore I will show you hell now", and he slapped her again.

The phone light came on and he saw quiet a few missed calls from Annika, wondering why she was calling so late he called her back only to get a msg of it being out of network area. Saahil room never had network and this was problem they always had. He kept trying but got the same msg again. Om and Rudra had gone to their rooms to change and come back.

"Shivaay, why do you look so tensed", seeing his brother frantically trying someone on his phone.

"Om.. I". Before he could complete Rudra barged in, "yaar this Annika didi phone isn't connecting she called me 2/3 times but now isn't reachable."

Hearing Annika's name Shivaay immediately was alerted when Om repeated the same looking at his phone. Shivaay was now tensed, the sinking feeling suddenly turning to fear and all that escaped his lips, "Annika."

The masked man dragged Annika by the hair her forehead and the back of her head bleeding along with her lip. He pushed her on the bed of her room. Annika was petrified would be an understatement.

"Khanna, let's go to Annika place now, I will drive", he yelled at Khanna and immediately the brothers along with Khanna and 2-3 more personnel drove towards Annika's house. Om kept trying Annika number but wasn't connecting when suddenly it rang.

The ringing of her phone alerted Annika as well as the masked man and she saw her phone lying on the ground and Shivaay's name flashing. The masked man was walking towards the phone to break it when Annika jumped off the bed pushing him and making an attempt to answer. The call was answered when the masked man pulled her hair making her scream, "Aah Shivaaaay", and the line went dead.

Her scream had resonated in the entire car causing everyone's blood to go cold. Shivaay had braked the car not able to fathom anything around him. The pain in her voice unbearable and to think that she tried to call him but he didn't answer was eating him inside. Rudra was in the same state or to say much worse, the drained color from the face of his brother spoke of the volume of how this entire episode affected him. Khanna nudged Shivaay and the beast in him was awake, he drove like a maniac breaking every single traffic rule possible to get to his girl.

Her phone broke and with that her last hope. Anger was not even a word to be considered seeing how he looked right now. His blood boiled. He dragged Annika to the end of the room pushing her on the bed. He slapped her again making her wince in pain. With all the blood and slapping she was almost losing her consciousness, when he tore the sleeves of her dress from the shoulder exposing her skin. He dug his teeth to which Annika screamed tried to push him when......
