Angel's Brute (Complete✅)

Chapter 32 - "Awakening of the Angel..."

"I have never felt so nervous and helpless in my life. A guy is garrotting Nandini with his strong hand while pointing a revolver at her right temple. Nandini's eyes are closed in fear. She is struggling to reduce the pressure on her neck. As I strain my eyes to observe the man more clearly, I recognise him as the absconded goon whom I paid to kidnap Nandini and I imprisoned him at my farmhouse. He is the last alive felon whom I was searching for...for ending his life. But here he got the upper hand. The revolver which he is pointing at Nandini is mine. He must have got it from my drawer. I curse myself."

"Relax, you want money? I will give you. But don't try to harm her."

Manik utters while trying to near Nandini and the goon. The man sniggers and retrieves a bit.

"It seems that you couldn't recognise me, Manik Sir. I am Billu; whom you wanted to kill by Pappu. But see, I am still alive. But I even know that I won't be for a long as nobody can live by messing with you, Sir. That's why I came here. I want to live my life, Sir. A peaceful life. Out of this city, even this country. I won't tell anyone about you, Sir. Please let me live."

The man Billu pleads like a pet dog. His eyes have panic and desperation both. Manik's jaws get hard. More this man will speak this shit, more Nandini will know about everything. He curses the situation. Manik forwards a bit more. His eyes are alert.

"What the hell are you talking about? I know you are a burglar and broke into this house for ransacking. Now, leave my wife. I will let you go. Drop the gun.. you fool."

Manik tries to control his agitation and tension. On the other hand, Nandini is standing like a statue, still having her eyes closed. Sweat beads are visible on her whole face. It's not palpable whether she is being able to grok the situation fully or not. Billu snickers and grabs Nandini tighter. A suppressed squeal comes out of her mouth. Manik raises his hand to stop Billu. He is panting like a trapped wounded lion.

"Billu...stop. Don't hurt her. You want money....right? I will give you. But dare to hurt her...you BASTARD..."

He ends with a yell.

"Superb, Sir. You are caring about this girl? And what did you say? Your wife? When did it happen? (He scoffs) You rich men are really players, Sir. Did you forget that you....yes you only hired us to kidnap her. You instructed us to get this girl (Billu lightly pokes the barrel on Nandini's temple) in your farmhouse. Today you are telling me to leave her? Wow, Sir...what a drama! But how can I forget; this girl....yes this girl (He screams against Nandini's ear) has ruined our lives. Since the day we kidnapped her our lives became hell. Before that, we used to be your favourite henchmen. You used to give us so much money. We lived our life like a king. But since this girl entered your life, she brought bad luck for us. You killed all my partners. You might kill me too....but God saved me. I don't want to be killed, Sir. And if I have to die, I will kill this girl too."

Billu sounds ferociously insane. He drags Nandini more to the backside. Now they are almost at the end of the walk-in-wardrobe. Manik observes that if Billu gets distracted for a second, he can be seized. And for that, he has to engage him with his talks. Manik steps forward again and says in a composed voice.

"Billu...whatever you are saying is nonsense. I have never done anything like this. You are mistaken. Maybe you are stressed and hungry. Okay, let me get some food for you. You have some food, drink some water and after that, we can talk....comfortably. Look, don't do anything for which you have to repent in future. Whatever your demand is....I....yes I will fulfil...Promise. Now, Cooldown."

As Manik was saying all these he observes that Billu is standing over a piece of cloth. If he tugs the cloth, Billu will lose his balance. He also observes that Billu hasn't unlocked the safety latch of the revolver. So, any bullet can't be shot accidentally. Hearing about food, Billu's eyes flicker with the urge. He indeed is hungry because he couldn't have anything for the last two days. The only thought in his mind was how he can run away from Manik Malhotra's grip. Manik whiffs his longing in his eyes. His eyes beam with hope. He looks at Nandini. She is still standing like a puppet entrapped in Billu's hand but the difference is, she is not struggling anymore. Instead, it seems that she has given up and lost her strength. Manik furrows his brows.
