Never Leaving U ( Completed )

Chapter 7

Recap: Vikram got a report from Raksaht and was devastated on reading it.

***********************

Vikram's blood boiled as he read the report. His hands clenched the pages, his vision blurring with rage. The hospital records confirmed that Priyanka had undergone six abortions in the last two years, and any further termination would result in the removal of her uterus.

Seething, Vikram stormed out, gripping the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He sped through the streets recklessly, his mind spiraling with betrayal and fury. Upon reaching the mansion, he marched straight to the guest room, only to find it empty. Frustration clawed at him, and he ran his hands through his hair, sinking onto the living room couch. His thoughts raced, flashing through every moment of deception, every lie he had believed. Eventually, exhaustion took over, and he drifted into an uneasy sleep.

The next morning, Sahana was jolted awake by the ringing of her phone. Her hands trembled as she answered the call, Rakshat's voice filling her ears with shocking revelations. Each word struck her like a blow, and her heart ached for Vikram, he must have been shattered by the truth.

Without a second thought, she got out of bed and went in search of him. As she stepped into the living room, she found him asleep on the couch, his face still etched with pain even in slumber. A deep sigh escaped her lips. Gently, she picked up a blanket and draped it over him, her fingers lingering for a moment as she fought back tears.

He needed time to process, to grieve, to make sense of it all. Knowing that, she left quietly, setting out to meet Rakshat.

Vikram woke up with a splitting headache, a dull throbbing echoing through his skull. As he sat up, his fingers brushed against a blanket draped over him. His gaze lingered on it for a moment before realization struck, it had to be Sahana. Despite everything he had put her through, she still cared for him. Why? After all the torment, the cruelty, the indifference, why was she still looking after him?

He clenched his jaw. He needed answers. But first, there was unfinished business.

His phone buzzed, breaking his thoughts. "PA Calling." He picked up instantly.

"Yes, tell me. Did you find out the details? Go ahead."

"Sir, she is Madam's best friend from school."

Vikram shot up from his seat. "What?!"

"Yes, sir. They were very close. She even lived in Sana Mansion since her college days after losing her parents in an accident. However, she left about six months before your marriage. Since then, she has had no contact with Madam."

His grip tightened around the phone. "She knows Sahana?"

"Yes, sir. She has visited ABC Hospital multiple times for six abortions in the last two years. She frequently checks into XYZ Hotel, VIP Suite 555. There is no record of the owner."

Vikram exhaled sharply, his mind racing. "Find out who is behind her."

As the call ended, he sat back, his thoughts spiraling. If Priyanka and Sahana had once been best friends, then Priyanka must have known about Sahana's love for him. What had happened between them? Why had they cut ties? And why was Priyanka still circling around his life like a vulture?

His life had become a tangled mess of deceit and unanswered questions. But not for long.

Vikram rose to his feet, his resolve hardening. He searched for Sahana, but she was nowhere in their room. He let out a sharp breath, his patience thinning. Without a second thought, he called the maids and dismissed them from the mansion.
