Deadly Venom

Chapter 4

Rathi POV:

I texted him back to wait for me at the entrance. Anand is sitting to seat away to check the surrounding. Wait I think I forget to ask it. I looked at Mr. Mehta. "Mr. Mehta, is tomorrow is your daughter's 18th birthday?"

"Yes Ms. Saindhavi. Tomorrow is her 18th birthday. I planned to gift her own apartment." He beamed in happiness. "Which apartment?"

"RV Meridians"

"That's great Mr. Mehta. Can you tell me your wife past? I am not forcing you. Just to get more information" I said hoping for him to answer. I already know it but just a rechecking.

"Okay. When Riya was in her late teen. She was first in everything. Academics, sports and what not. She was dream girl of complete school but no one dare to ask her out because of her one senior. Her bully. That guy was like a king of the school. One day he asked her out but she straight away refused him. Then he started to stalk her, threaten everyone around her and even killed all the boys who asked her out in a horrendous way. She couldn't do anything because she was an orphan and her guardians stayed in New York. Despite all these problems, she completed her high school. She couldn't take his torture anymore, so she decided to move to New York. On her 18th birthday, she was kidnapped by him. He tortured her mentally so bad that she became a robot. That was until she became pregnant with his child. She knows he has been waiting for this child, so he can cage her with him forever. When he got to know, she was pregnant, he immediately started preparing for their wedding and Riya started preparing for her escaping. On the wedding day, she faked her death and ran away to America. There she met the news of her Guardian's death who died in a mysterious way leaving everything in her American name. Ariya Jones. And you know how we met and rest of the things. And No I don't know that bastards name, She didn't want to tell me and I didn't force her" He said weeping pitiably. This time, I gave him all the tissue papers.

"Okay sir, one last question" I asked closing my laptop. "Yes Ms. Saindhavi" He said. "Is that baby is, Twinkle?" I asked him. He closed his eyes and nodded. I sighed and looked around my surrounding. Yes Anand is right. Something is definitely fishy. I looked back at Mr. Mehta "Mr. Mehta thank you for your kind corporation. I will be taking my leave. Our hearing will be day after tomorrow. If you want something contact my PA". We shook hands and started to make my way towards the exit. Suddenly a rain of rose petals on me. I heard someone shouted Sorry and I shouted back that it's okay. I dusted off the petals and walked again. This time I feel like someone digging holes behind my head.

Suddenly, I dashed into something hard and before I could fall, I was caught in a tight grip. I felt two strong arms snakes around the waist and caught it but my bare waist under my shirt.

What the hell! I felt shivers down my spine where I was being touched. I looked up to see magnetic pair of onyx pool eyes staring back at me in such intensity. I pushed him back in shock and started running away only be caught by my wrist again. I was pushed against the man's chest or I can say a wall. I felt a hand caressing my face and a dark, deep, ominous whisper, "Mine".

I felt uncomfortable. I looked at my hand to see a brooch. I think he said about it. I took the brooch and pin it back in the coat. I break free from him and runaway without looking back, still feeling his eyes burning holes in my head.

Why do I feel like this won't be our last time meeting him.
