The Audacious Hearts

The Endless night

"Considering you stayed in that fire for me. You surely don't want me to die." I retorted. He smiled but I could sense the anger building up beneath the surface.

"Why did you marry me?" He pressed again.

"Maybe I fell in love with you." I winked and he smirked mirthlessly.

"If you want to make it difficult on yourself, then it's your choice." He said, raking his eyes on my body.

I clenched my jaw. "Don't even think of getting closer to me."

"Well darling, you are at my mercy today. " He declared, stepping forward. "But you are forgetting that I am known to be merciless." He concluded and came behind me. In a sudden move, he grabbed my bun, causing me to wince, and his other hand snaked around my waist, fingers cold and rough as they explored my warm skin, reaching for my waist chain. Disgust filled me.

"Leave me Mr. Aryansh Fucking Sehgal. " I roared, a tear slipped from my eye.

"Not until I get my answers!" He declared, leaning in my neck.

"I wanted to enter your family." I sputtered out, already at the verge of a panic attack.

He paused and another tear leaked through my eyes. I could hear his smirk behind me and he rounded the chair to came in front of me again.

My blood red eyes met his mocking ones and I silently vowed to make this bastard suffer.

"See, it was that easy. Now, my third question. I know you are not behind my money. Then why? " He roared causing me to flinch.

But I kept my chin high and indicated him to come closer. Suspicion marked the frown of his brows, but he bent down to my level, nevertheless. Leaning towards his ears, I whispered, passing through his jaw and cheeks. "Then maybe, I fell in hate with you." His angered breath grazed my skin as he turned his eyes to look at me, and it was my time to smirk.

His jaw clenched and his hands came forward to grab my throat.

"This Audacious mouth of yours is going to get you in trouble someday." He grit applying pressure on my neck.

I fought to breathe but still didn't backed down. I was not afraid of him. Not anymore. Tears blurred my vision and my lungs begged for oxygen but I didn't budged and his hold on my neck only tightened. Darkness slowly started to engulf me but at the threshold he left
me with a jerk, and I gasped to inhale oxygen, coughing.

After a few minutes, when I finally got my strength back, I looked up only to find him gone. I finally took a sigh of relief after what felt like an eternity.

I sighed. And then cursed myself. What a fool I was? No, what an absolute fool I am. I did beleived that out of all the people Aryansh Sehgal won't came to know about my plans.
He won't realise the threat on his family.
It was right all in front of me from the very first day itself but I being an absolute idiot that I am, believed that he was falling for my trap. He let me I am weaving the trap when in actual I was the one being trapped.

Wow!

I looked at the clock right above the headboard of the bed which showed 1:30 am. I can't even help my self right now in case he comes back. I had to wait. I can't show him my cards this soon. I can't afford to mess up more than I already had.

So, I waited. I waited till it became clear that he won't be coming back anytime soon. I looked around to spot anything that could help me untie my hands and legs and spotted his whiskey glass.

I managed to drag my chair towards the table and then break the glass by pushing it down the table by my shoulder. It fell and shattered into peices. I placed one of the peice in such a way that it everytime I rub the rope binding my ankles on it, it shreds out a little. After a lot of hustle, I finally managed to cut down the rope of my legs. Then I moved one of my feet up my thigh and opened the strap of the strip, making the knife fall. I picked it up by the fingers of my feet and threw it up on my lap. Picking it up from my mouth I dropped it besides my shoulder and catch it in my palm. It was just a matter of few minutes, that my wrists were freed from the tightened ropes. As soon as the rope fell, I  straightened my hands rubbed my wrists as they turned red. I immediately stood up, locked the door and then finally took a sigh of relief.

I need to re-formulate my plan.Now that he knows everything, things are gonna be difficult and lives are gonna be at risk. I need to be cautious.

I gulped and looked around. I moved to the table and get myself a glass of water. The coldness instantly calmed my mind down.
I took a seat on the couch and didn't even knew when darkness engulfed me.
