"H O W did you find that?". She asked leaning against the wall looking at him blankly

"S-She came to meet me a few days back". Laith confessed, "She looked different. She looked like a m-".

"Monster. What did she say?". She asked not interested in his ranting about her appearance since she has seen her turning right in front of her eyes

Laith took a deep breath, "She showed me what I could have if I stabbed you in your back".

"She showed you what she got by doing that, didn't she?". She asked as her eyes hardened, "Did she told you what she did to me?".

"I asked her but she didn't speak of it said it was a forbidden topic. She showed me money, fame and whatnot. Promised me that until the day I die I would never have to worry about the things I have grown in worrying about". Laith explained as he shuddered

"She showed you your lust". She stated simply

Laith nodded, "She had been our friends since we were young. She obviously knows my weaknesses. She strikes them against me saying that now I don't have to worry about a house, money, security and all the materialism I used to speak of".

"Used to?". She emphasizes

"Yes, I believed for that moment that having these things and knowing that the failure and suffering I had gone through for these things will end and I will finally be rewarded. But-". Laith paused as he looked in her eyes, "But, I would rather kill myself than to kill another person to have that worldly pleasure. I was into them when I was young because they seem like the things that make life easier however I came to know those things come with a price every time. Either at the expense of someone life or something along the line and at the end of all this we lose the hold of our humanity and sanity".

She was impressed.

Because there wasn't someone who hasn't sold their soul for those things. She has seen people after people selling themselves off willingly for them.

Well, her parents sold her off for them.

Yet, they weren't able to have the luxury because the deal of their side didn't hold off till the end. She was supposed to remain their puppet until the end. No killing her master (her ex-husband) and not dying until they were done with her.

Since she killed her ex-husband and died (for them) they took everything that her parents enjoyed at her expense.

Good for her.

Because that gives her some sense of relief.

"Would you please bring my laptop?". She asked her husband who nodded and went away

"You know we are meant to die in the end, don't you?". Laith asked hoarsely

"You have any reason to stay alive?". She asked

"No. But we are to die no matter what". Laith stated

"Yes. When you take one demon out doesn't mean his mates are taken too. They will haunt you and kill you. There is no way one person can end every demon until every person starts to join forces to fight them off. The reason people stopped interfering, hiding and punishing the sinner had caused this whole system to start and be this damn strong that now one person has to die at the end of all the fighting and still the monsters stay". She cried out angrily

"I wish you live. I truly wish that you could find happiness in life. I wish you could be born again and this time in a place that brings your happiness and keeps you pure". Laith said sighing as a tear roll down his face

Laith hadn't seen much of her breakdown yet he had seen something worse. That day when she was stoned he had seen a woman who had no will, happiness, hope and just an empty shell. He had recently found the glow on her and a bit of happiness around her and he had prayed that it stayed longer however he knows it won't.

"Here you go, baby. I have to go I have a case I will see you tonight. Take care. I love you". Her husband said kissing her forehead lovingly for the longest time before he left

"You know the power that will come at you?". Laith asked

"I have lived in that power what do you think?". She asked as her eyes remain on her laptop, "Perhaps you could work on finding a speck of smaller dirt on Ayaan so you can strike him. Just a warning he will come with a force that you have never seen, so be prepared".

Laith nodded heading out of the house and going to work.

The day went on as everyone was busy in their own work. She switches on the Television listening to the news of the kid who was used as a sex tool by men who placed her video online and other that were found doing the same and things to children that were asked of them in return of the large sum of money such as cutting off their body part for fun.

She does know the details and she was glad that these children don't survive to see what will come after. They wouldn't be able to live in this world anyway. They can't make sense what happened to them was for what reasons, why wasn't their criminal sentence to justice and if they were sentenced to justice it would only be as simple as living in jail for life. Which she also know that those men will be out once the media leaves the case and everyone gets busy.

The circle was victorious and no one won against it.

Not even her.

They say that psychopath aren't born with it. That is what makes it worse, it means they choose to be one. And for that, they shall pay.

"How did you get to study?". She heard her husband voice as he brings her favourite milk glass that he makes for her

She shrugged, "I was unfortunately found by some social worker while I was taken out of my place for cleaning purposes since it's been long and looking at the dirty toy (her) no one likes it or should I say they don't get in the mood. She asked away questions after questions so they had to send me off to study somewhere. They thought it was best for them for me to be a lawyer since that will help them in their cases if someone dares to do that. But, as I went there were always guards around me and also there were his people blended in the students. I wasn't allowed to have friends or speak to anyone. I wasn't even existed in the place, to begin with. Teachers were told who I was and who I belong to so no one ever dared come near me".

"He is sick". Her husband commented

"Sick is a very small word". She stated as she sips her glass of milk-loving the taste of it, "You have talent".

He chuckles, "I have talents in many things. I am sure you know by now".

She blushes and the purity of her was now on display as he enjoys teasing her only to see her blushing for him. It was one of the purest things of hers.

Laith walks in after an hour as they were talking to take some hints from her as to what he was supposed to go after. She knows going after Ayaan is a death wish and she was ready to die anyway.

She heard her husband phone ringing as he walks away to talk while Laith nagged her for clues she wasn't going to hand him. If she were to help him there will be no use because then it means that when he will stand in front of Ayaan to charge him, he will fall face down. Laith needs to learn about the kind of monster Noyan is so that he prepares himself accordingly.

But, she didn't know that she would be the one to give the whole clue.

Her husband walks in with a pale face and a moment later his family walks inside the house weeping and screaming at her which she didn't understand.

"This is all her fault. I told you to not be around her". Yasmin yelled, "Because of her our sister is kidnapped".

Ayaan.

She knows right that moment who did it and exactly why he did it. Ayaan loves playing with people minds he used to do that to her all the time. The difference was that she didn't have much on her to allow him to play with her mind. She never felt a family warmth so that point wasn't even valid to hit at. She was trapped in their world since 15 so there was nothing much in her life to go after.

After they continued to blame her for bringing them into the mess of her life. She looked at her husband who was blankly looking at his family.

"Enough!. I don't want to hear this anymore. Wherever Aliya is not her fault. She is my wife and you need to stop disrespecting her". Her husband said holding her hand

That moment she knows, they will die together in the end.

"We can go and report to the police to get a paper to arrest him". Laith said after a long moment

She chuckles dryly, "Really? How are you going to prove he took her? Will you take me there? I don't even exist to being with much less use me to do anything".

"So, what do we do?". Her husband asked worriedly

"We wait". She said shortly taking a seat on the couch placing her phone on the table as her eyes remain on it for almost two more hours until it was night now

Then it rings.

"Put it on speaker". Her husband said and she did

"My, my, my, my beautiful angel. I had no idea you managed to stay alive". Ayaan chilling voice boomed through the silence, "You won't speak, angel? I heard your voice is back, unfortunately. I liked it when you stayed quiet and never spoke. I am disappointed but no worries once you are back I will teach you everything again".

"Ayaan". She said threatening as her eyes hardened

She used to be afraid of him when she wished to live.

Now, she doesn't.

"Don't even think about taking my name from your dirty mouth or I swear I will raise hell". Ayan screamed shaking the wall and people around

She feels her husband holding her hand tightly in his hand.

"Does it look like I care about what you want". She said agitating him more

"You know I know what you are doing and I have to say as much as I am impressed, I am mad too. You belong to us and only us. You know you were our gem and the one that obeyed us the best. These new kids are stupid and worthless. They all talk about consent and shit like that then run away from your house". Ayaan said angrily and the moment he mentioned her house, her body went rigid, "I recently had one of them. I had to take her out because she wouldn't shut up about justice, Lord and whatnot. Her hopes were pissing me off. I love seeing your eyes. They are empty and I love them. I wish these bitches learn from you. I plan to have you here for them to learn a lesson or two. But because these teenagers are mature enough we have to go to children now".

She felt bile rising in her mouth but she pushed it down watching everyone's pale faces.

"Come on, angel. Pick the phone. I am sure they have heard enough and they won't understand a thing I said. What's the use?". Ayaan said chuckling darkly

She turns the speaker off placing the phone on her ear as Noyan spoke, "You are a forbidden fruit and you know what happens to the one who touches a forbidden apple". He paused as he whispers, "They die. They will all die so will you if you don't stop".
