In NEW YORK,

Aryan's P.O.V.

"YURI, I am going Italy, now" I said and get up from my chair.

"B-But, sir Meeting-" She, my P.A cuts off by me.

"Yes, Mr. Aryan, you can't leave this meeting right now. Your company will get benefit from this deal and-" That man cuts off by me.

"I don't care. I am going to Italy, NOW"

"But-"

"Mr. Matthew, give us a minute. Aryan come with me" Arnav said coldly and dragged me out of the meeting room.

We reached in my cabin.

"What happened Ryan ?" Arnav asked me worriedly.

I sighed.

"Something is wrong, Arn" I said to him panicking.

"Relax, Ryan. What is wrong ?" He asked calmly.

"Ari. Something is wrong" I again said.

"What ? What about Ari ? What happened to her ? Tell me Ryan. Why are you telling like this ? Can you please tell me clearly Aryan Moretti, what-"

"I DON'T KNOW. I fucking don't know, Arnav. I don't know, why I have a bad feeling about this. But I am damn sure, she is in pain. She is not answering my call, nor messages. Hell, no one in that damn mansion is picking up a call. And I am not going to sit here and wait for her phone call." I said to him annoyed and scared for my sister.

"Ok. I am going to make arrangements as soon as possible, don't worry" He said and left the room.

Soon he came back.

"Everything is done. You can leave now. But just inform me about Ari, after reaching there" He said.

I nodded and left.

Before, I could leave from company, Yuri come towards me followed by Mr. Matthew.

"S-sir, but d-deal-"

Yuri is good and like a mother figure to me and Ari.

"I can and will get many deals in future also, but I will never get my sister again, if anything happens." I said coldly and left from there.

Time Skip (He reached Italy)

I go towards my car and driver started driving.

My mind is driving by bad thoughts. I again started calling her, but it tells it switched off.

She never switch off her phone.

I tried calling Arjun, Aarav and Mary too, but it's straight going to a voicemail.

Why the hell they are not picking up the call ?

I soon reached infront of our mansion and immediately came out from the car and run inside.

When I came in living room, it feels so silent.

My heart is Beating like a crazy.

I ran towards Ari's room as fast as I can, but it feels like my legs are moving in slow motion. It feels like I am unable to run fast. I came infront of Ari's room and barged in without thinking twice, but what I saw next made me furious.

Ari is on the bed sleeping with bandages on her forehead, upper arms. While cream is applied on her hands, and legs. I can clearly see bruises.

My eyes widened seeing this scene 'again'.

I looked and saw Arjun and Aarav both are there looking at me shocked and concerned.

I couldn't process anything but my legs automatically takes me towards her.

I rush her side and immediately tries to wake her up.

"Heyy A-Ari, what happened ? Open your eyes, twinny. I will n-never leave you alone a-again, I promise. Please o-open your eyes, girl. I-" I cuts off by Arjun.

"She is fine, Aryan. She needs rest, that's why she is sleeping" He said calmly.

I can't take it anymore.

"Who did this to her ?" I spat with my coldest and harshest voice.

I can never doubt on Arjun and Aarav because I know they care for her, they love her already.

"Listen, I will tell you everything but I think you should calm-" Arjun cuts off.

"Dad. Dad beat her" Aarav said in cold voice. His eyes are still on Ari.

Arjun sighed.

"He is not at home, now" Arjun said coldly.

I looked last time at Ari and leave the room.

I came in my room and punched the wall.

I can't control myself and again punched it. I want to hurt myself.

I looked at mirror.

I can't even protect my only sister.

I am failed as a brother.

You failed again.

I was going to punch again but before I could punch, someone hold my hand from back.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND ? WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?" Arjun said pulling me away from mirror.

I saw Arjun and Aarav both are standing there looking very concerned.

I didn't said anything.

"Hurting yourself is never a solution" Aarav said coldly.

"Why are you hurting yourself ? It's not your fault." Arjun said worried.

"It's my fault" I said coldly and turned away from them.

"It's my fault that I leave her alone here. I should be present here to help her , to-" I continued but cuts off by Aarav.

"No, it's not your fault. It's my fault. When I knew, she get 89 out of 100, I should have come home with her." He sighed.

"What ? 89 ? Dad beats her for marks ?" Arjun asked.

Aarav nodded.

Arjun sighed.

"What ?" I asked confused.

"Yes, he always wants good marks in studies. Good marks in the sense full marks." Arjun said.

"Will he ever b-beat you both ?" I asked.

"None of your business" Aarav snapped.

"My sister included in this, it's now my business too" I snapped too.

"You will never understand this" He again snapped.

"Aarav STOP" Arjun said coldly.

Aarav sighed.

But, I want to know.

'Let's do something'

Before I could say anything, Aarav chuckled sadly.

"Our life was not easy like yours" He said.

Ohh how wrong he was !!!

I hummed.

"Is Ari alone ?"

“No, Mary is with her" Arjun said.

I nodded.

“What actually happened ?" I asked them.

They both sighed.

“She came home alone, because we were in our games practices. We don't know what happened at home, but Mary called me and said Dad is b-beating Ari mercilessly. When we came home, we find he was beating her with leather belt" Arjun said.

What the Fuck !

I was angry would be an understatement, I was livid. I am going to kill him.

He beat my Ari with leather belt ?

My jaw clenched.

I will make him beg for forgiveness at my Sister's feet.

“I think you should rest-" Arjun cuts off by a scream.

“ARYAN, C-COME HERE FAST"
