Break the rules

Chapter 36

Aryan's POV:

I jumped and immediately fiddled with my pocket when I felt my phone vibrate. I didn't even bother to look at who it was.

I just picked up the phone and immediately said, "Alia?" I was hoping she was rescued by now and contacted me.

"Aryan it's me" I frowned when I heard Ananya's voice. "Listen I was hoping we could talk because I'm been feeling low-" She said.

I couldn't believe her. Here I was clearly panicking about my wife and she wants to take this moment to talk to me.

"What the fuck is your problem?!" I snapped at her. "Do you have no fucking idea what I'm going through right now?" I shouted.

"How could be so fucking self-centred?!" I shouted. I knew she wasn't expecting me to burst like this because I've never done that.

"You know what Ananya just fuck off and don't call me again!" With that I cut the call and threw my phone across the table.

I must've thrown it with too much force that it slid off the table and fell onto the ground. I watched it slide and stop right at the door.

The second my phones stopped, my dad opened the door and walked in. He looked at my phone and then at me.

He raised his brow which I knew was his non-verbal way to ask me what the fuck just happened.

I just shook my head and he nodded knowing I was definitely not in the mood to talk about what happened.

I leaned into my chair and let my head fall back. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath. "Come back Alia" I whispered.

Alia's POV:

Dev and I whipped our heads towards the door when we heard footsteps. It was obvious that Dev was definitely not expecting anyone.

He immediately pulled me with him to the table he was sat at before. He fiddled in his drawer and pulled out what looked like a gun.

My eyes widened and I almost let out a scream but when Dev pointed the gun at me, I couldn't help but shut up.

I froze in fear. Even my tears didn't dare to leave my eyes. The men barged in and I recognised them as police officers.

"It's going to be alright Alia" One of them told me. I wanted to relax when he assured me but it was difficult with a gun pointing to my head.

"You move. I shoot" Dev simply said. "Dev we have you surrounded" The man told him. I could tell Dev was looking for an escape but couldn't find one.

His attempt to make sure I don't escape came back to bite him in the ass because he knew better than anyone there wasn't an escape.

"Put the gun down" The man demanded. I heard Dev gulp behind me. His heart racing against my back.

I felt the coldness of the gun move away from my head. He dropped the gun to the floor. "Slide it to us" The man told him.

Dev kicked the gun towards the officers and let me go. The second I felt his grasp on me loosen I pushed away and ran towards the officers.

One of the lady officers held out a hand and pushed me protectively behind her. I watched Dev put his arms above his head in defeat.

"Just a while more and you'll be with your family" The man, Sanjay he introduced himself, assured me.

"Aryan and Shah Rukh have been spending more time at the station than at home helping us with the investigation" He told me.

I couldn't help but smile at the thought of being in the arms of Aryan. A silent tear fell down my cheek in relief.
