Captive Love

Chapter 51

(Guys, I am so sorry but this is the second last chapter 😔 It was a wonderful journey. Thank you so much to everyone who took out time in reading my book) 

"You're in love with Siddhant."

I am in love with Siddhant?

I pursed my lips and shut my eyes. Was I? The answer was obvious.

"Think about it," Lydia said softly, placing her hand on my shoulder. 

I nodded. My mind slowly drifted back to the memories in the mansion.

 We had so much fun; I almost forgot I was a captive. I started feeling euphoric around Siddhant. He started becoming my habit- I became used to seeing him everyday. 

"Amrita, you couldn't stop staring at him. You always zone out thinking about Siddhant. Few months back, you were panicking about him during the surgery. You helped him get better, you cared for him," Sia said softly.

 "You become extremely comfortable around him, he can make you laugh in any and every situation. You become super chill and enjoy with him every time. For example, when we visited my colleague's wedding yesterday, instead of raising a toast and congratulating the couple, you both got drunk and danced your asses off on the dancefloor," Lydia added. 

I chuckled remembering that. 

"I love him...," I admitted slowly. "I love Siddhant." 

They both smiled softly and nodded.

 "Lemme go get wine," Sia suddenly said and walked to my mini fridge in the corner of the room. 

She took out 3 glasses and poured red wine into each of them and handed us one. I took a sip and started.

"Siddhant and I- I loathed him. He loved me. Police and the mafia, oh how ironic. He tricked me, kidnapped me, claimed to love me and kept me captive. I escape thrice and almost succeeded but he dragged me back every single time. I planned an attack with Dimitri, leader of the Russian mafia. They allied with the Indian police and attacked Siddhant's mafia estate. I escaped during that but promised to return to him. I didn't realize I was slowly falling for him, hard. Every day, when he used to talk with me, I became familiar with him. I became used to him. Like a habit, you know. 

It's true what they say; If you love someone, set them free, if they come back to you, it was meant to be. I never really understood what it meant but now I do. You never really know the value of the person and their importance in your life until you feel their absence. I became too attached with Siddhant, or should I say in love with him? I was oblivious to that. For the past 6 months I spent away from him, I realized how much I actually cared for him, how much I actually love him. So, I came back and imagine how I felt when he was kidnapped! 

I felt like-like a part of me was ripped off, broken, shattered. I tried my best in finding him, and with the help of you all, we rescued him. And now, after finally facing reality and my feelings, I know for sure that I truly do love him. That's my love story for you."

No one spoke for a few minutes, too busy in processing my words.

"That was deep...," Sia broke the silence, nodding. "But Amu! You and the Russian mafia! I wanna know the full story!"

I chuckled and told her each and every detail- from Siddhant kidnapping me- to the attack in the mansion. In the end, her mouth was wide open.

 "You, the Donna of the mafia!? Congrats," Sia exclaimed excitedly, clinking her glass with mine while I just stared at her in surprise.
