From Here On [Virat Kohli Fanfiction]

Chapter 25

''A year ago, a close friend of mine got into betting. He was my friend and I didn't want to judge his choices but he started to instigate me into playing shit in big games and he offered to pay me for it. Basic match fixing. Obviously I refused. He was on drugs at the time and desperately needed help. I didn't care for it that much because of ongoing matches and I didn't realize when it got so serious. He got involved with the mafia, took loans he couldn't repay and screwed up. One night he turned up to my house with a fucking gun, threatening me into corruption. I had security throw him out and because he was my friend once, I didn't press charges. Itni bari ghaliti kiyi meney. He got his men surrounding me everywhere I went. It only took a certain amount of time until my family was in danger. I got intouch with the cops, and got one of the men in jail. After that, it all stopped. I forgot about it. I thought it was all over until... now. I don't know what the fuck they want now Zara. Money? I'll give it to them. I just.. I just don't want you in danger. It'll kill me.'' He finished with a long sigh and looked up at me. I honestly didn't know how to react. Fuck. This was big. ''But.. I don't understand. Why would they suddenly turn up out of the blue again?'' His face was blank and he shook his head. ''I don't know. All I know is I want to keep you safe. We'll have tighter security now. Zara, I want you to please tell me if there's anything wrong. Mujhey pata hain tum kaisi ho. You won't tell me anything in fear of stressing me out,'' he mumbled. I frowned. ''Mein kab aisi karti hun? Arrey, it's my job to stress you out na,'' I said playfully trying to lighten up the mood. He smiled and it sent a flutter up my heart. ''Woh to hain. But I'm serious. Anything out of place, you tell me.'' ''Accha baba, I will. Now kiss me.'' His eyes softened and he brushed his lips on mine. Pulling him in for more, I tangled my fingers in his hair. He pressed against me, and all of a sudden pulled back real quick. I frowned at the sudden absence of his lips and raised my eyebrows. ''I.. I don't want to hurt you,'' he mumbled shyly. I smiled at him and brought his face closer to mine. ''You never will,'' I whispered against his lips. I sighed at his touch and hugged him tighter. He's gone through so much..I just really hope nothing bad happens again.
