Don't trust blindly even your own blood can betray you - anonymous

Narrator point of view
The evening clouds was creating a orangish aura in the surroundings . The scorching bright yellow sun of the afternoon was now turning into a calm and orangish colour sun . The evening clouds were calm flowing like a river in the sky with birds making their way to their homes the day has already begun to set . Various people were enjoying the the last sunlight of the day  soaking it deep into their skin . The sunset was a beautiful thing to witness . It's a creation of nature which gives  nothing but pure  bliss from  people to birds as the day had set the refreshing night will began soon and they will be enjoying dinner with their loved ones for whom  they had worked hard in the day but what about those who dread the night whose nightmare is the moon itself because their tiring , horrifying , miserable day will began now . For them survival is not the utmost importance . They don't fear the monsters living under the bed as they life with monsters themselves . For them human being was and is the most dreaded creature of all time . Time skips day pass nights come and go but the brutal circle of life there doesn't end because even their breaths are being controlled and their own life was never theirs it was always being controlled , maimed and tamed and owned by the devil himself . The moonlight was falling on the eerie calm hallway

( Imagine the hallway as this )

of Lesrov's warehouse escaping through the tattered curtains of room into the victim's room . The night was nothing but unusual the cries , the screams , the devilish laughter of the men and women  who came to taint the name of humanity were not present there. It appeared as if everything was normal but the truth was nothing was normal .  A young girl in her late teens was sitting on a rather comfortable bed as compared to what others there was supplied with . Her  face was depicting sadness , horror and fear as she was forced to witness the atrocities carried out by the men on the victims there . Each night she couldn't sleep  properly which was quite evident on her face . Her  ears echoing the screams , the cries as she shut her ears hoping the voices will be blocked but nothing happened her body shivered

( Imagine her sitting like this and thinking )

as she re encountered the girl who was killed before her own eyes her blood covering the floor but she couldn't do nothing to protect her to save her . She was just a mere spectator of the crime as everyone else . She was just as helpless as the other women were . She thought that she was brave but her bravery her courageous nature was converted in a mockery laughing on her face each second each time she met the boss there .

Anonymous (P.O.V)
As I stood by the ajar door with a plate of food my mind was captured by the brown orbs of Zainab she was getting hopeless just as the other women down here which I can't let happen at any cost . Her  black orbs which earlier depicted happiness was now converted into fear and disgust after looking at me . She simply stood up from her criss- cross position on the bed putting put a cold yet unaffected face but deep down I can clearly see how scared how  fear was striking it's root in her mind and heart . Before she could shut the gate as usual after taking the food I swiftly took hold of her wrist gently as she snatched her wrist her face still neutral but her eyes horrified . I knew I had to comfort her . Maybe it's affection or maybe it's not . Shaking my head at her I signalled her that I want to talk to her . Being the second in command here and powerful she knew she couldn't deny me .

The conversation
Z:- Zainab , A:- Anonymous

A:- Relax, Zainab I won't harm you . You know that . I just want to talk .
Z:- But I don't want to talk to you mister what about that ?
A:- ( sighing heavily and moving to take a chair and setting up in front of the bed ) You can't order me 'jaan' we both know that . So have a seat and let's talk .
Z:- ( getting angry and moving towards the bed ) Don't you dare start with that stupid endearment trust me I still can break your bones if I want to .
A:- ( smirking ) Is it so ? ( Saying this he moved towards her but she quickly took some steps backward ) Jaan , you look so tired today I will not leave until and unless you eat properly and go to bed in front me .
Z:- ( furiously looking towards him ) Listen here you piece of shi..
( Before she can complete her sentence he moved in her direction and took hold of both of her hands and placed his one hand on her back )
A:- ( angrily ) Listen jaan either you eat the food or
( interrupting him and kicking the plate of food which was placed on stool)
Z:- ( mockingly ) look what happened the most powerful man just got insulted by a girl what a shame !
(Suddenly he yells loudly his eyes red of anger his grip tightening and two men came looking down at the ground )
A:- Clean the mess and make sure ( looking towards zainab ) that nobody should eat the supper .
Z:- ( shockingly ) you can't do that .
A:- ( looking challenging towards her ) I can and I will jaan . It's your choice if you will starve yourself others will starve too and let me remind you this is their only meal of the day .
Z:- ( Scared after thinking about it ) Don't do this . I will eat don't starve them please .
A:- ( losing his grip and bringing a new plate of food ) eat then and here is the pill don't worry it's a sleeping pill it will help you sleep .
(After ensuring that she has eat her food properly and has taken the sleeping pill too he left the room )

Zainab ( P.O.V)
Each day each night felt like a thousand years here . I am not in a state to understand how can they as a human being can do such bizarre thing to another human being . Lesrov is a demon even calling him an animal will be insult to animals as lesrov and his men lack every ounce of humanity . Never in my life I witnessed such kind of thing which I had already witnessed in the past few weeks I lived here . My eyes keep repeating the scene when that child killed herself and I was unable to save her life . Her lifeless body drowned in her own body haunts me to this day . I don't know why they have kidnapped me extorting money is definitely not their goal . Something more sinister is their plan . The way Lesrov beated his men when they looked at me lustily to calling me his girl's best friend everything is messed up . There is no way he could be related to tanvi . Maybe it's just a facade of calling me as his girl's best friend as I had two best friends in my life . One left me when she founded that I stood up to my parents when they were forcing me as she thought that I am a bad influence for her . I remember being disturbed when I found that my parents use to give her money to spy on me that's she was just a fake friend nothing else but there was one person at time with me that was tanya and her family . Uncle and aunty use to treat me as their own child but my parents they never felt the need to them I was a burden which they wanted to get rid off and even went to lengths to achieve it but it was tanya and her family that spoiled their plan and took care of me . Few tears escaped my eyes as I thought about it and my present situation . I may not get tortured physically by them but mentally I am scared and petrified to the core especially by that mister . I simply want to away from here especially after seeing the way that guy ( anonymous ) treats me . (After the conversation ) . I hate that guy and his bloody guts . As I took the pill my mind and my eyes started shutting and soon I find myself in a deep slumber with a single thought in my mind that I need to get to safety along the women and girls . Ya allah! Give me the strength to execute my plan .

A/N:- The next update is here . Do tell your views on the chapter through the comment sections . Will zainab be able to execute her plan . Till the next update stay safe stay soon .
