Never Leaving U ( Completed )

Chapter 45

Recap: Sana decides to stay strong and support Vikram

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

Vikram stood at the door of their bedroom, dressed sharply for the day.

"Sana, I have some important meeting. Will return after finishing it," he said, adjusting his cuff.

"Ok Vikky, take care," Sana replied with a soft smile.

"Bye, princess," he whispered, bending down to kiss both Sana and little Sara on their foreheads. With one last look, he turned and walked to the living room.

Pugazh was already waiting. "Shall we leave, Vikram?"

Vikram gave a brief nod. "Hmm, yes." He turned to Pranitha. "Pranitha, you can work from home today."

Pranitha simply hummed in acknowledgment. With that, Vikram and Pugazh left the house and texted Sharath to inform him they had started.

Sharath replied shortly, "Hmm ok. I'm at the spot already."

"Ok then, see you," Vikram responded.

The car sped through the quiet city and soon reached the outskirts, where an old, rusted factory stood in eerie silence. Sharath was already at the entrance, waiting.

The trio entered the dark interior of the factory. Inside, tied to pillars, were Sam and Priyanka—weak, pale, and barely conscious from the lack of food and water.

The moment Vikram laid eyes on Sam, all hell broke loose.

"Bastard! How dare you kidnap my princess?!" he roared.

He charged forward and began landing brutal punches on Sam. Blue and black welts immediately began forming on Sam's skin. Sharath, Pugazh, and the guards tried to restrain Vikram, but his rage was uncontrollable. It was as if years of frustration were erupting all at once.

"Let me go," Sam gasped in between blows.

"Let him go! Please spare him!" Priyanka cried out desperately.

Vikram turned to her, eyes blazing. "Whom do you want me to let go?" he spat and picked up a nearby wooden log. Without a second thought, he stabbed her in the side with it. "I never show my anger towards women, but you are not at all a woman. Filthy."

"Don't harm her... Do anything to me... leave her," Sam begged.

"Oh, so much of love, is it? Disgusting," Vikram mocked.

"Please leave us... We will not get into your life anymore... Please leave us," Priyanka sobbed. "We did everything just as Akash wanted us to do. Please let go of us."

Vikram stepped closer, voice low and venomous. "Not so easily, bitch. Those three hours were the worst of my life. They scared me like hell, and you were the reason behind it. You dared to kidnap my daughter. I will show you hell. You won't enjoy an easy death."

He dragged Sam to a water drum and plunged his face into it. Sam thrashed, struggling for breath. Everyone around froze. One glare from Vikram was enough to stop even the bravest of them from interfering. He was feral.

Then, Vikram turned to Priyanka again, pulling off his belt and lashing it across her back and shoulders. Her screams echoed through the factory.

"Don't harm her, please! Let her go!" Sam shouted, helpless.

"Oh, sir did everything for this bitch, huh?" Vikram sneered. "Then I'll plan something special for you. Let me give you an option. Akash will be here in a while and I'll release two of you. Now tell me—whom should I kill?"
