Chapter-39

My head spins and my eyes feel heavy. I try to open them but my eyelids weigh down.

I hear some shouting and shift my focus on it.

"But capo we have to land. This is workers plane and it was meant to be refilled in France."

"Then why didn't you inform me before, you imbeciles."

"We didn't know you were taking this plane and besides we also rerouted. The route now is longer so the fuel is more burned off."

I hear a groan of annoyance on the other end followed by the person speaking

"Fine but we have to cross the Indian subcontinent and travel over the Indian ocean, make the palne run till then. We will land at DEIGO GRACIA islands, till then you better make the plane run."

"Okay capo we can do that, we will turn off the automatic mode and will get on the manual mode to save the fuel. The Deigi islands are not far away we can fly till then."

"Also get me on call with Mr,Vitalli immediately. I have to make the arrangements for landing."

I hear the footsteps of the men dispersing.

Plane, island, landing

These words revolve in my head

I was at party and what the hell is going on?

I question and in a instant I am reminded.

Lorenzo kidnapped me again.

I immediately open my eyes with much difficulty and grimace as the bright light makes my headache worst.

"Ugh"

I groan grasping my head as it throbs in pain.

"You alright?"

I hear the familiar voice as I feel Lorenzo coming in front of me.

He bends down in front of me and cups my cheek.

I look up at him. There is worry in his eyes seeing me like this.

I am almost melted by his worrisome facial features but then I remember his actions and I immediately push his hand away.

"You had no right to do that Lorenzo."

I say in anger while clenching my teeth.

He sighs and takes his hand back

"Sweetheart, the medications for headache are in that cabinet besides you."

He gets up and starts walking away.

But I am quick on my toes and comes in front of him.

"I am talking to you. You can't just walk away."

I yell

"We can talk all you want but later on when we have plenty of time. Right now I am bit occupied."

He says and feathers my cheek with his thumb.

"Stop touching me."

I say and push his hand away

"And I wanna talk now. What were you thinking kidnapping someone's wife."

I say wife intentionally to get a response out of him.

"Now let's get one thing straight, sweetheart. You are my women."

He says and his hands encircles my waist pulling me towards him.

"And I don't want you to associate yourself with any other relation with anyone."

I ignore his warning. I feel the rage burning inside of me which just wants to torment him even at the cost of me being hurt.

"The truths hurts don't it? But it matters and the only relation I am in is with Xavier Ivanov, my husb...

I feel his hand cupping my cheek. His grip tight, it's hurting but it's not bruising. I know he is holding back.

"Don't test my patience. I am not the sweet man you think I am. I have monsters of my own and once you awaken them even I can't protect you from them."

His voice deepens with every words and I feel his gaze staring deep into my soul.

I feel terrified. At this moment I know if he want to he can snap my jaw in two halve. I can feel his control slipping away with my words.

But that doesn't stop my sharp tongue.

I think my tongue is not registering the panic my brain is feeling.

So, I mutter

"It will always remain the truth. I will never be your wife, Lorenzo."

I say those words to aggravate him more.

I thought that he would be hurt more but I am taken aback by the sound of his chuckle.

His grip on my jaw lossens and he runs his hand through my hairs.

"You are really innocent, my sweet pie.

Who told you I wanted you to be my wife? Hmm."

His eyes turn darker and I can feel the malice his words hold. I just know the words he is about to speak are going to crush me.

"You belong to me only that matters. Whether as a wife or a girlfriend or a mistress, it's up to me. You have no say in it."

He says and his grip on my hair tightens.

Now I feel the pain as his words slashes my heart.

Mistress

That's all I ever will be to him.

I feel the tears welling up in my eyes and my chin trembling. His words weigh heavy on my heart and words fail me.

"You didn't thought that I was bringing you back to treat you good, did you?"

His voice turns meaner and he leans in his face inches away from mine.

"I am taking you back to hurt you to make you pay back for leaving me. I'll taint you with my colours so much that all that will be left in you is an impression of me."

"I'll make you mine in ways you can't even decipher so that when I am done with you, you have no choice but to come back to me whether you like it or not."

The tears finally strain my cheeks as his words breaks something in me I didn't even knew existed.

All the time I spend with him he was this sweet guy and now to see is wrath is unbearable.

I see his eyes shifting on my tears and I feel his expression softening but it is gone in a fleet second, replaced by the same stern look.

"You also get one thing straight, Mr Accardo. You can possess my body, but never my heart."

I feel my voice breaking as more tears flow through my eyes

"I hate you with every fibre of my being, Lorenzo Accardo."

I say with venomous voice filled with absolute misery.

"Don't worry, Miss Oberoi. The feelings are Mutual."

He says and let's go of my hair.

He moves besides me and walks away.

While I slump down on the floor, left in a mess of tears as I ponder how we both crossed this line between love and hate.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Kuhu

The name that's been on my mind as a constant. Even in moments when I am thinking nothing her name is still there in my mind.

Not more than a year has passed with her and I feel like an eternity would be less if I have her besides me. She has been my source of joy and my palce of elucidating my worries.

It's like now imagining a life without her is difficult. The way she has taken care of nikaloi is impressive and unmatched.

"What do you think, gentleman?"

I am pulled back into the conversation going on right now.

I look up at the men discussing god knows what.

All I remember was some bullshit shipment before I drifted in her thoughts.

"Yes, I think we should sign a contract and include Mr Accardo too."

The mere mention of that man leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. He is an unbearable son of a bitch.

And the stunt he pulled today of kissing kuhu, my wife's hand has left me more bitter.

I wanted to rip his hand off at that moment but one look at kuhu and I knew I had to behave.

My girl was worried that I was angry on her because of that jackass.

My girl

The word ignites an impending question that my mind has asked several times already.

Will she ever be mine?

Yes she stays with me, shares a roof, spends time but the distances between us are never ending.

I know she shares a past with Lorenzo. I knew it from that last time's Mafia ball but what I never inferred is that it's not limited to past. It involves her present too.

I don't know whether she just denies it or geniunly is unaware but that man does possess a portion of heart.

What am I afraid is how much is it? Is she far too gone or is she capable to love someone else again?

For the past year this question has haunted my brain and I am far too afraid to know the truth because somewhere I know I won't like it.

And I am too much of a sucker for her. So much so that I am afraid I am ready to lead a love deprived life just to have her by my side.

It is scary and comforting at the same time.

"What you say, Mr Ivanov?"

I am questioned by the men as I refocus my attention on the ongoing conversation.

"As you perceive fine, gentleman."

I reply back.

They all nod in acknowledgement.

I turn my eyes around the room to look at that bastard.

I must watch him closely.

But I don't see him.

I look for his men but they are also not present.

"Gentleman, excuse me."

I say politely and immediately move away.

I signal my men to gather around me.

And they do as asked.

"Where is Lorenzo and his men?"

I ask them

"Sir, Mr Accardo was seen 2 hours ago at the bar and then he went to the bathroom. We have not seen him since then."

"And his men were also present in the hall about an hour ago."

"When were you going to tell me this information you fucker. They have been gone for over an hour and you haven't yet informed me."

"Find out where they are, now."

They all scatters and I take my phone out calling kuhu.

She has to be alright.

The rings goes but noone answers.

"Fuck"

I curse.

I call my man working for me, Leonard.

"Leo, go and check whether kuhu is in the upper lounge or not?"

He nods and moves away.

This is all fucked.

Lorenzo and his men are gone

Kuhu is not answering phone

Nothing is right.

"владелец, Mr accardo and his men flew back. They boarded the plane and left."

(Master)

I hear the news and feel my heart palpating hard.

I just wish my assumptions are wrong.

I get a call from Leo. I pick it up hoping it's not the answer I am expecting.

But to my dismay he says

"She is not in the lounge."

That motherfucker.
