Chapter-26
Author's POV
The restaurant which was chaotic with customers noise became still and silent as they saw him walking inside.
The fear was raw and evident in their eyes.
He walked inside the restaurant holding her hands. Her eyes scanned the luxurious hotel. She looked like a lost puppy, following someone blindly.
The sudden pin-drop silence was chilling. She wanted to blame it on the AC but she noticed how they went dead silent within the gap of a few seconds.
Especially men, they didn't raise their eyes. Some left in the middle while some cowered in fear.
He was about to pull the chair but she sneaked in between the table and the chair, lost in a different world.
Sitting in front of her, he pushed the menu towards her. It was a cue for her to place an order or select the food.
But she didn't take the cue. Instead, she looked at her phone and it was already 10. She wanted to go home.
He arched his brows demanding her to choose any food but she, slowly pushed the menu towards him, shaking her head in a meek no.
" Fine...I'll order..." he sighed.
" I'm full...I'm not hungry Shiva... please don't order for me..you can eat...I'll sit..." Her instant response irked his anger.
He knew she skipped breakfast. The only thing that she ate was the burger and coke. And he didn't consider it a proper meal.
" You will eat..." There was no room for further discussion.
Despite seeing the enormous changes in people's behaviour, she decided to talk back.
" I'm not hungry... please don't force me..." she raised her voice a little.
He tilted his neck and sucked in a sharp breath.
He was in no mood to kill.
" So you won't eat?" he asked, his eyes daring her to say 'No'
She shook her head in a curt no.
A single muscle in his jaw twitched after a dark chuckle reverberated in the silent restaurant.
He bent a little and pulled out a black dagger, hidden within the ankle wrap.
Her eyes widened looking at the familiar weapon. He threatened to push it inside her next time. Her eyes went round as he placed the sharp weapon on the table.
" if you don't eat, everyone in the restaurant will die...." he didn't look mad or angry. He didn't even blink his eyes as he said this.
Her breath stuck in her throat. It was a subtle threat.
She was baffled, dumbfounded to speak.
" And when I am done killing, I will fuck your cunt with the same dagger!!" his lips curved into an evil smirk.
She gulped the tears trying to escape her eyes and looked at him with pleading eyes.
He snapped his fingers to the waiter who was standing a few feet away from them, waiting for his order.
Shiva ordered a light meal which was rice and dal for her.
He sat next to her, holding the spoon of rice near her trembling lips.
