Aayna’s POV
I splashed cold water on my face again. Again. Again.
But no matter how much I rubbed, my eyes stayed swollen and red. My lips trembled. My chest ached.
I didn’t even realize how long I’d been locked in the hospital washroom until the sharp knock echoed through the door.
Knock. Knock.
Followed by silence.
Then a voice I wished I’d never hear again.
"Open the door, Aayna."
That calm, low, terrifying voice.
Sir.
Rudra.
I froze. Palms still dripping, breath stuck in my throat.
"Do not make me repeat myself."
His voice was colder now. Steel laced with warning.
I slowly reached for the lock with trembling fingers.
The door creaked open.
And there he stood.
All six-foot-something of him, in his dark shirt sleeves rolled up, jaw clenched, eyes blazing like fire beneath ice.
He didn’t speak for a second. Just looked at me.
My tear-soaked face. My hunched shoulders. My wet sleeves.
Then
SMACK.
His hand slammed against the doorframe beside my head. I flinched violently.
"Who told you you could lock yourself away like that?"
His tone was quiet but deadly.
I opened my mouth. No words came.
Just fear.
Pure fear.
"You think crying in a toilet changes anything?"he hissed.
"You took the pill, didn’t you?"
I gulped.
"...yes, sir."
He stepped closer. I shrank back.
"Good. You’ll keep taking them. As long as I say. As long as my baby is in NICU you will do everything it takes to keep him alive."
My lips quivered. “But sir he’s not”
His hand gripped my chin hard.
"He’s your baby now. Got it? You’ll lactate. You’ll feed. You’ll shut up. And if I hear even one word of refusal again you won't be able to walk for a week.
My eyes welled again. But I nodded quickly.
His grip loosened. And he leaned in, whispering darkly,
"Next time you try to run or hide, Aayna... I’ll make sure the staff watches me punish you. You think a locked washroom saves you from me?"
Then, just like that, he left.
Leaving behind only his warning…
…and the ache of tears I couldn’t shed anymore.
