Mr Malhotra took a swift gulp of water and sat at the desk.

Saira's eyes were welled up.

Mr Malhotra cleared his throat and said," Everybody loves to hear a love story but nobody wants to hear about the villain's victory story."

Saira interjected," Actually people do love villain's backstory."

Mr Malhotra laughed and said," Yeah but if its of him being a underdog."

Mr Malhotra then smirked as he spoke with an air of arrogance," But I am anything but a underdog."

He spoke," My brother enjoyed the attention both sisters paid. He went out with the confident one but enjoyed exploiting emotionally the attention seeker. By the way, the attention seeker was Anaika and the confident one is my so-called wife now. My brother let me handle the chores of the company while he dealt with the ladies."

His smirk vanished as he said," But one day, he got Anaika pregnant and got married. He snatched my company rights as soon as he found he was having a son."

Mr Malhotra then looked at Saira and asked," Do I sound like a underdog? But the fascinating part of a villain is he can't get over his evils. So I decided to become a bit of wilddog."

He laughed and said," I kept manipulating my brother to harass his attention seeker wife while I kept manipulating the confident one. As Anaika gave birth to her second one, their relation was completely fractured. I kept on instigating him to kill Anaika and he almost did on the night she escaped."

He ran his fingers through his air as if he was proud of it and said," My wife thinks the poor boy, Nikhil had blurted the whereabouts of his mother but it was me who did it. I took Anaika in my confidence and let her speak about the locations. But dear lord, my wife still somehow managed to whisk her sister to some location and I couldn't claim her part of property."

He looked back at Saira and said," But the beauty of slow poison is that it kills you a bit everyday instead of killing you instantly. And I have loved every single minute of Nikhil's sadness and my wife's bitterness towards him. I didn't need to do much to kill Nikhil's father. It was so easy. He was drunk and I told him to jump in the pool to swim. He jumped but he didn't know how to swim."

Saira was afraid.

How was she supposed to protect her child from this wile man?

Suddenly she saw him pull out a gun as goons held Nikhil's mother.

Mr Malhotra spoke in sceptical manner," I wonder if my shooting skills are still top-notch? Maybe I should try it out. After all,  she wasn't the best person to be left alive too. She cheated on her sister's boyfriend."

Saira closed her eyes as she heard a shot.

She didn't want to watch it.

But she heard Mr Malhotra scream and giggling of her mother-in-law.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Nikhil and police standing .

Police quickly came and caught Mr Malhotra and goons while they freed Anaika and Saira.

Saira wanted to run to Nikhil but she found his eyes stuck at the person with her.

His mother.
