To say he was an angry beast would not be a lie.

She watches as he marches towards the men taking them down in just three minutes that even she was shocked. The fear of having their hands over her, came back to her after the short relief that Usman was in front of her.

Her legs give out but before she can hit the ground his arms wrapped around her holding her tightly to his chest. With his one hand wrapped around her waist and other in her hair providing her with the comfort she needed.

"I got you, Jaan. I got you". He whispers softly pulling her closer

The fear in his voice was visible to her and she knows he fears the same thing as her. What if he didn't come on time?. Those men would not have let her body go without fulfilling their desires and the fear of it made her clench towards him as she starts to weep in his arms.

"I-I was so scared". She cried harder as he whispers comforting words to her

"Shhh. I promise no harm will ever come to you. You are safe now". He said holding onto her tighter trying to tell himself that she was fine and that nothing happened to her

But the way his heart was beating rapidly in fear of what could have gone wrong didn't lessen however it pumped in his anger he had since so long. His anger was one of the worst things anyone wants to come across and right now it was boiling hot. The fury in his eyes and the need to murder these men was high, very high.

"Come on, we need to get out of here". He said holding her hand wrapping his other hand around her waist as he takes her outside

They walk back to his car and he places her inside securely making sure that she will be safe as she moves away from her leaning beside his car finally switching on his cell phone calling the number he needed.

"What do I own this pleasure?". Akbar's voice boomed through the phone

"I know your men are around I need them to take someone for me and make sure whatever you do with them, it is painful". He said pressuring the last word with more force

"They are at a distance. You will see them in five minutes. Is she ok?". Akbar asked concerned

"She will be". He snapped as he feels his anger coming back, "I need you to make sure these men don't escape until I am back from this trip".

"You have a deal". Akbar said ending the call

He looks around to find Akbar's men coming towards him so he directed them back to the bodies in the washroom that was barely even moving but he doesn't care as Akbar's men took them away.

He walks back to his car entering inside to find her asleep. He sighs racking his hand through his hair not calming down even a bit because he wanted to go back and beat them all over again. He knows Akbar will do the job best as he is similar to him when it comes to beating someone who hurts their women.

He stops at a motel because the night was approaching and there was no use of going anywhere beside attracting more trouble. He walks towards her side opening the door as he looks at her sleeping soundly without care of this world. He picks her locking the car and the moment she snuggles into him was the moment he started to calm down. His body starts to react to her touches and her breath fanning over his exposed neck making him shiver.

He booked a room walking towards their room. As he enters inside it was a small place but enough to wait for a few hours. He laid her down covering her properly watching as she shifts the other side facing away from him. He sighs laying beside her pulling her towards him as he continues to massage her head mindlessly.

"Usman". She whimpered in her sleep making his sleepy eyes opens watching her calling to him in pain

He wraps his arms around her bringing her on top of him, "Shhh, sleep, Jaan. Your Usman is right here with you".

She moves more towards him after hearing his comforting voice, sleeping soundly again and he sleeps after he was sure she went to sleep and won't have nightmares.

The next morning she opens her eyes feeling well-rested but all she found was darkness around because of the curtains. She blinks her eyes adjusting them to find herself on top of him while he sleeps peacefully. She turns to look at her phone on the side watching the time. It was 9 AM already but after the tiring night they he must have been tired to sleep this late.

She moves away from him placing a pillow for him to cuddle, to which he did immediately mumbling something. She smiles walking towards the bathroom when she found her luggage on the floor. She went back inside changing into her professional outfit and look before she had to go and meet the old man and the owner of the hotel- Henry.

She comes outside sitting on the small couch looking at her iPad as she reads through the details once again to be spot-on when she meet the man because it's a one-time thing. If she loses this chance there will be no more chances. She doesn't know why she is so obsessed with the hotel but one look and anyone will love it.

He opens his eyes trying to find her when he didn't he bolted from his bed scared that something went wrong with her. He looks around until he finds her looking at her tablet busy in her own world to know the fear he just felt by not having her near him.

"You are awake". She said looking away and towards him, "You should get ready because we still have about four hours drive left and if we don't leave now we might have to spend another night here".

"I don't mind". He said brushing his hand through his messy hair making her gulp unconsciously as she moves her eyes away from him because even his bed hair made him look handsome

"I do". She said hoarsely as she clear her throat cursing herself

He chuckles huskily, "Fine, Madam. I promise we will reach today to your destination without any more drama".

He went inside the bathroom and she releases the breath she didn't know she was holding in. She stands from her seat stretching her limbs when the door of the bathroom opens and he walks out in all his glory.

Her eyes widen as she gulps down the lump in her throat.

God, does he have to be that handsome?.

If anything, in these past seven years he looks more toned and muscular to her. His face has rather increase in being more handsomely because the way her heart flips at one glance his way is the clear indication of it.

She turns around trying to find any distractions when her phone started to rings so she excused herself taking the phone running outside without another glance at him.

He really needs to tone down his gym routine.

He stands in the middle of the room confused at her escape from the room like she was on fire. Well, her face was red while she leaves and he wonders if she has a fever but before he can check she was running away from him.

He sighs taking their luggage back to his car when he found her at a little distance speaking to someone and the worry lines on her face and the way she bites on her lips hard enough to draw blood from them, made him frown at her.

He wonders if it was something about the hotel they are here for because if she loses it because of him, he will lose his sanity. He had seen her looking at the hotel in pure excitement and he still isn't sure as to why she has a sudden interest in the hotel industry. If anything, she never liked it one bit and here she was in the middle of nowhere going to a hotel to buy it by any means possible.

She shakes her head clearly stressed after the call with her so-called parents and their unwanted demands that never ends. Even though she has three days for monthly payment they have to call her with further demands.

She walks back inside the car knowing his eyes were on her but she isn't in the mood for him, for now. This time, thankfully, they reached the hotel without any more mishaps on their way because they choose to drive non-stop without stopping anywhere to not fall into trouble that seems to find it's way to them.

"Woah, this-- how did you find it?". He asked gaping at the hotel

The hotel was an old castle style with a wide green fields around it filled with flowers and long trees covering the castle. The best was the small riverbank behind the hotel.

"This is a very old place that everyone wishes to turn into a hotel but the old man never sold it to anyone. So, naturally, people started not focusing on it". She said shrugging

"I would have paid any amount for this beauty". He said grinning at her and she knows by heart he only ever loved one thing or two from which one is a hotel

"I guess I will do that now". She said looking at her new place," Before that, we need to get on with the owner".

"It looks scary. Will you be ok?". He asked to smirk

"Worry about yourself". She said rolling her eyes as she steps on the porch walking to the front door ringing the bell that restores through the empty castle

"What if he is some creepy man who likes to sacrifice a young handsome man to the devil?". She heard him say from beside her

She shakes her head at his absurd point, "One, who is the handsome man?. I would like to meet him. Two, you are a devil yourself. Instead all of you top four tiers are the devil in human forms".

"Couldn't agree more on the last statement. I think we give competition to even devil". He said smirking as he leans in closer to her making her breathing hitched, "The only handsome man in your life will always be me".

"Please, your friends are more handsome". She said smirking

"Which one?". He asked as his voice got the deeper filling with jealousy, "Which one are you talking about?. I need to can make sure he never appears in front of you".

She chuckles lowly at his angry face, "As if I will tell you".

"Then none of them will meet you, ever". He said planning to block all of them away

She snickers, "If I want to meet him, I will".

"Wait". He said making her startling at his loud voice, "Zafar and Akbar are married that leaves only one...Awais?. You like Awais?. Ok, as of now Awais doesn't exist in this world".

"You denying it wouldn't change that he do exist and he is very handsome too". She said smirking at his agitated face

"No--". He started when the door opened

"If you two are here to fight to find some other place". Henry said angrily glaring at them

"She started it".

"He started it".

"Unless you two are on honeymoon I will not allow you two anywhere near my property". Henry barked

Her eyes widen as she heard him before she could even offer him anything.

He smirks wrapping an arm around her pulling her towards him making her squeal, "As a matter of fact, we are married and this beautiful woman is my wife. We were on our way to the hotel but she said she loved this place more so I couldn't say no".

He is a smooth liar, no doubt.

He places his lips closer to her ear kissing the skin just behind her ear as she whispers making her shudder, "Play along, Jaan".

She grins, after trying to lessen the effect he has on her, at the old man wrapping her arms around his waist looking at him lovingly, "Darling, I am so glad there is this kind man here to allow us in. I would have been heartbroken if we were to go to that hotel of yours".

"He owns a hotel?". Henry asked

She laughs wholeheartedly, "He cannot even own a car much less a hotel".

He narrows his eyes at her words while she smirks

"You have an expensive car just behind you". The owner said

"Oh, that". She said turning around to look at the car, "That was a guilt gift from my father to have thrown me this man (Usman) to marry".

"So, your parents are rich?". Henry asked

"Yes. Very". She said nodding smiling

"You are humble". Henry said rolling his eyes

She flips her hair, "I try".

"Excuse my wife behaviour, she had been in this mood for a while now". He said interrupting their glares at each other

He kissed her cheeks making her eye widen, "Jaan, calm down. He is a kind man who is offering us a place".

"Why is your wife wearing a suit on a honeymoon?". Henry asked crossing his arms over his chest

Their throat went dry.

"You see, Sir". He said dramatically placing a hand over his head massage it, "My wife here is a workaholic. The day after our wedding she was in office and had been in for a month now. I crave her attention and love and is busy with her papers and laptop. So, today, I kind of kidnapped her to this place".

"Understandable. My wife was something similar". The owner said with a hint of sadness, "Come along children, you must have had a long journey".

"I will kill you once we are inside the room". She whispers to him as they enter inside

She gasps looking at the luxurious beauty inside of the house. It was a beauty of luxurious things instead the interior of the wall was designed in unique patterns.

"That was my wife doing". The owner said as he looks at the walls

He looks at the owner then back at her, "Trust me, I know how it feels to look at something your wife made and left for you to look at all alone".

"Your wife is right beside you, son". The owner said patting his back, "Cherish her before she leaves because once these women leave they never come back".

"I hope she does". He said dejectedly

"This is so beautiful". She said grinning at the owner, "I can't wait to have it".

"Have it?". The owner said confused

Her eyes widen when she heard a chuckle from Usman," She means to say she can't wait to have her room. She sometimes doesn't complete her sentence right when she is overly excited. Calm down, baby. We will get a room soon".

"I am getting to know a lot of new things about me, darling". She said through her clench teeth glaring at him, "I can't wait to have my room".

The owner chuckled, "I was thinking of giving a tour around but if that's what you want. The dinner should be ready in about two hours please come down then".

They nodded following behind him through the long corridor admiring everything in their way as they enter inside the grand room.

"Everything is designed by my wife just like your wife, my wife was a rich woman. She made this for me". The owner said mournfully

He places a hand over his shoulder feeling the familiar aching when he had once thought that she might have died that night.

"I am sorry". He said feeling a lump in his throat as he tries to keep his emotions at bay but failed miserably

Just as the owner went outside he went inside the washroom standing under the shower fully clothed letting the water wipe away his sorrow. The more he stands under the water alone the more he felt the suffocating rising.

He felt a pair of hand wrapping around his back and her head on his back. She can hear his loud heartbeat through his back and she wonders why he would look so broken?. She wasn't planning to come behind him but her heart wasn't thinking the same way her mind was and so she entered inside.

She found him drenched in his clothes all alone looking mournful.

She just wanted to take that pain away from him so she did what she thought she should.

She hugged him.

Just how she made a habit of hugging him every single day and how he used to tell her how much he felt better with those hugs. She wonders if he truly felt better or was the only words.

He turns around moving her hand away looking at her standing in front of him drenching the same way he was in the shower. He raises his hand towards her cheeks lovingly as he caresses her cheeks trying his best to make the ache in his heart stop and to tell himself that she was alive. That she is alive and in front of his eyes.

His finger moves over her forehead down to the side of her face travelling back to her eyes as she closed them and he feels the different emotions filling his heart. He uses his thumb wiping the water away from her eyes only more to come over. He moves his finger over her cheeks again stopping right on her lips. As he caresses her lips she shudders under his touch feeling her own heartbeat rising to a dangerous level. His touches always level her breathless.

"You are alive". He said after a moment making her open her eyes looking at him frowning, "I-I thought you died".

"What are you talking about, Usman?". She asked unsurely

"You died. You died that night". He said agonized, "I-I killed you, didn't I?".
