Love Lies Bleeding

18. "Part of you?"

Three of them went into the basement where the traitor was kept. Adhir took a hammer and walked towards the man. “Adhir, there’s no need for it.” Ahalya came from behind. “He said he has nothing to say, just kill him. It's just you wanted to know who he was. So we got him here. Just kill him.” She said the last line in a raspy voice.

“No. No. I'll tell you everything I know.” the man yelled in fear. Adhir was a ruthless killer. Everyone feared him except his lady love and his best friend. Ryan stood there witnessing the game of mafia, death and power.

“I was told to collect information about Adhir’s weaknesses and anything related to the previous consignment. I found the safe house and went in to check, we found that boy. We tried to kidnap him but couldn’t, you interrupted us.” He yelped in pain.

“I somehow escaped, but this bitch found m- aaggrrhhhh” Before he could finish his sentence Adhir smashed his hand with the hammer he was holding. “Watch your words and tone when you talk about my woman. She is the boss lady.” Adhir warned him.

“Anderson! Tell me about him?” Siddique questioned him. “Who is he?” He cried. “Do you want me to smash anything else? Answer before I do it.” Adhir threatened him. “I don't know any Anderson. I'm working for Dheeraj Bhai!” He said slowly. Ahalya looked at Siddique.

Siddique stepped forward and slapped him. “Do you think we are fools? Dheeraj is dead. Whom are you still getting orders from?” Sid fiercened. “I still get orders from the same number.” He yelled in pain. “I'll get the details.” Sid rushed out. And came back saying

“He is right, orders are from the same number. But who the hell is using it?” Sid doubted. “Find out,” Adhir ordered. “What else you told Vipers?” Ryan walked into the scene. “Speak out!” Sid yelled. “I informed about this lady and you are staying with boss. Nothing else.” He confessed.

Adhir walked Ahalya out and signalled Sid to finish him. Ryan came out along with them. “What next? Even if we find the person, what are we gonna do? What can they do if we are staying with you? How can we save Angelo Russo? So many questions and there is no answer till now.” Ryan spoke about his worries.

“I have a meeting with Angelo. I should let him know. Let’s decide then. And about you guys staying here, that’s my headache; Vipers have nothing to do with it. But Ahalya's identity should remain hidden.” Adhir said in one go and walked away.

“Which identity? Headache?” Ryan repeated him. “Aadya!!” Ahalya exclaimed and walked in the same direction as Adhir. Oh! Ryan thought.

Adhir’s POV

I walked from there after answering Ryan, I went into my room's balcony and stood there inhaling fresh air. My sweetheart walked from the back after knocking. “You don't need to do that. You can just walk in. You are part of me and my house, sweetheart.” I said while she walked closer to the railing. “Part of you?” She raised her eyebrows. “You know what I mean. Stop playing dumb, beautiful.” I said and just received a nod in reply.

“Why did you even have to go out of the house? That too after this evening's meeting. Where the hell did you find this guy? I knew something was wrong earlier. You stayed silent and unexpressed right after Anderson left. Can you explain?” Adhir asked her.

*Few hours ago* A/N’s explanation….

Ahalya went to freshen up. She was in black and black with a leather jacket. She was in frustration, the rage kept her in silence. She went to the indoor range and aggressively loaded a gun. Holding it in her left hand, she aimed at the target board. She started to practice. “What happened?” Sid walked in.

*Aggressive shot* “That fucking bustard now wants to take Adhir’s place. He has the audacity to make a deal to kill Angelo Russo. The Angelo Russo, who holds a powerful place in the underworld, who has the highest chances of becoming the next Godfather.” *sharp shot*

“Relax! We are here to handle it. Do you think we'll let him take Adhir’s position? No one is willing to support him in the underworld because he went against the rules. He is trying hard to have alliances and connections. So just cool down. Ahalya!” He calmed her down.

“We can't wait for him to take over the mafia. Did you find the traitor?” Ahalya asked. “But he has nothing to do with Angelo Russo. *Another shot that made Sid speak* Anyway, I found him. He is planning to leave the country.” He answered.

“Let’s get him first then decide what we can do. He might have the information we need. A simple piece of detail that he can give us might change our plan.” She continued to practice. “Ahalya, are you kidding me? You are not going anywhere! Anderson warned Adhir’s close associations that include you! He is watching. Vipers are everywhere.” He said, opposing her.

Ahalya dropped her gun on the table and walked towards Sid. “You have no idea what I'm capable of, Sid. Vipers would never know I got involved in action with you. I'll set a trap. Get him into it. And rest we can handle together.”

Ahalya connected his details to Veer. Immediately after the meeting, Veer was sent to London. Adhir wanted him to be safe. She asked Veer to send details to Siddique.

Siddique trapped him in the sea route and sent him messages that said ‘To Dubai, at the port by 1 am.’ How can someone not get into his trap? It worked. It was around 12, and Ahalya smoothly walked past Ryan, who was sitting on the dining table working.

Ryan's side eye watched her walk. But did not stop her. I would say he knew her better! She sat in the back seat, while Sid drove the car.

What do you think of their planning?? Comment below.

With love
