BEWITCHED

Chapter 29th

DAKSH'S POV

"I don't fucking care how much they want, stop this shit. I pay y'all for a reason right."

I presses the ground floor and the elevator door closed with a ding. I felt a hand at my forearms, Aarna was looking at me with a weak smile but it was enough for me simple back at her.

As soon as the elevator opened at the parking the cameras started flashing and the reports started to question us weird questions.
I swear I'm gonna sue the owner of this building.

My men made space for us to get through the crowd. It nearly took us ten minutes to reached the car.
I started the car and drove in speed to reach the mansion as soon as possible.

I was sure that Aarav would never do this. Rape? And him. It doesn't fit right.
He was a boy who didn't looked at any girl, afterall he was always busy with his painting and looking at the art museums.

Once I would've believed if they have told that he killed someone but rape,no he would never rape someone.
I still remember him crying in fourth grade when a woman touched him inappropriately in school. And they say he raped a girl.

My blood was boiling, I was having a strong urge to kill the person behind all this shit.
My car screeched when I stopped outside the mansion. The security was doing a great job keeping the reporters outside.

I entered the house where Athrav was already barking orders at someone at the top of his lungs as dada was trying to control his anger with his fists closed.
Dhriti was standing beside the coach where maa, dadi and Aarav was sitting.

"Bhai."

I heard Dhriti's voice and all the faces snapped towards us expect Aarav who was staring at nothingness, like he was in other world.
I moved towards him and stood in front of him. His eyes moved to look at me. His eyes were dead like it used to be 18 years ago.
My jaw clenched and my fists were tight enough to draw blood.

"Who? "

His face stiffness told me that he was battling whether to tell me or not. His eyes went to Aarna then to Dhriti returning again to me.

"Do we need to check upon all your acquaintances? "

Athrav was right, if he will not talk then we would have to talk to his friends along with all collage students.

"... A woman had asked for Daksh's bhai number. Not feeling very good about it I gave her mine.
Today at afternoon someone called and told me to come hotel Minar. When I reached I met a man to whom I introduced myself as Daksh bhai.
He showed me a room and told me to wait inside until he returns.
He didnt returned, but a woman did from bathroom, she- "

The stop was too heavy for me to bear. My body was shivering with anger, I want to murder that man, no I wanted to torture that man until he beg for death.

"After five minutes or so, a... woman came out bathroom with barely to no clothes. She.... that's all.
When I opened the door all the hotel members were already standing there. The hotel do not allowed media so there were no cameras but reporters were there."

His voice was monotone but a lone tear scaped his eyes and my patient snapped.

"Can you describe the guy? "

Aarna asked whistle kneeling down in front of Aarav and holding his hands tightly.
I turned and dialed at Yash number.

"Get cctv of hotel minaar... and also set a meeting with the so called victim in private. "

After getting a 'yes sir' I ended the call.
My attention got drawn to Aarav describing the man whom he met.

"I saw him."

Aarna moved quick and pulled her phone out of the handbag and within seconds she was showing us the picture, which was zoomed in.
Aarav nooded looking at picture conforming that it was man.
I took the phone from her hand and slided to look for the pictures.

The man whom Aarav met was with Mrs. Ahuja as she was yelling at someone.

"This was what you wanted to show me? "

Athrav asked looking at photos and Aarna slowly nodded her head making me confuse.

"I- I took this photos today from the coffee shop I went with maa.
I thought I will work against her."

I knew they didn't wanted us to be happy, but to this extent. To use Aarav against me. Just to put me down.
It means the women who asked for my number...

"Mrs. Ahuja was the one who asked for my number? "

"No.
...the other one. "

He was hiding something, his explanation was not clear. But why he hide something...

"Daksh. "

Athrav motioned me to follow him, we exited the mansion and was in the garden at the back. We were moving out from the back gate as front was filled with reporters and media.

A car was already standing in front of the gate, ready with a driver.
Our feets halted when we heard Aarav calling our names. He was running towards us.

"I will come. "

"No you will not. "

Athrav was fast enough to reply but he didn't saw the lines of anger in his forhead. The little frown that he was wearing.

"Only if you will tell us the full truth."

His face snapped towards me and after a few seconds of battling himshelf inside his head he nooded.
We sat in the car leaving the driver out and steering to Athrav.

He reached his outhouse and we went inside the dark place. The night and barren areas were making it more gloomy. He typed the password and entered along with us.

"Speak."

"I... the woman who is- uh playing victim..., she- no we know each other."

"How so? "

A glass of whiskey was put infront of me along with a bottle of bear to Aarav.
I eyed Athrav to whom he just shrugged lightly.
It was the second after he put the bottle, Aarav opened the lid and drank half of it in one go. Seems like he needed it.

"She..., she was the one I told you all about at breakfast.
She used me for her own gain."

So, that was why he cried. I can only imagine his pain. Being betrayed by the one you loved, it was not less than any torture.
And the fact that this all was planned by our biological parents, to get a position and a company... this is all so repellent.

How can they use Aarav, just to get a position. They were always kinda obsessed with him. Even at the court they had asked to take custody of Aarav, maybe it was because he was the quite one among us.
I just need proofs against them, just a few fucking proofs to show the world their true faces.

"I... can you hand me down the girl."

My head snapped towards Aarav who was looking straight towards us and his hands that were clenching the bottle hard enough to broke it anytime soon.

"Why? "

Athrav voiced my question which caused him to grip the bottle more tightly than needed. A little crack was heard as he looked at is with red wide eyes.

"I will complete my business with her, afterall she is my model. "

It was then, Yash's name flashed upon my phone screen.

"We've got the cctv and the girl... she was last seen with Mr. Ahuja near his warehouse."

"Get the men ready we are charging in an hour."
