Chapter 28

It had taken long to come to a decision.

Nikita loves her mom a lot, more than anything.

But she killed the only dad I've known. She shot him, it was only fair I returned her the favor.

But Nikita's face, those frantic green eyes, her panicked pale cheeks, it made me stop.

I couldn't kill her mother in front of her.

I couldn't hurt her like that.

"Why did she kill him?" I ask.

Zara, on the phone replies, "I've been researching that. Shamita Seini was allegedly sexually assaulted by your-"

"What?" I find that hard to believe. Hard to believe that the guy who treated me like a prince would be capable of such a thing.

"Yes. He was cruel. He was an oil tycoon, with money and power so he abused it. He loved our mother. Our dad was not right when he suspected an affair between the two, but they were lovers in the past. Mom and your adoptive dad."

"Okay.."

"So Keshav he was abusive, and he loved our mom so he took care of you, but he didn't treat others well-"

"He loved our mom, and raped a woman side by side?" I ask, feeling my world tumbling down.

I always knew him as a good person.  I thought he was the ideal rich guy. He was handsome, he was rich, he had power, eh treated me well.

It feels like my whole life was a lie.

"He did. Don't ask me why. I don't know why he would do that." Zara answers, "And from what I heard last, Shamita Seini was pregnant. No one knows what happened after."

"She was pregnant?" I ask, and my heart begins to beat in an unkown rythm.

"Yes."

Everything clicks in place.

Nikita's green eyes- they reminded me of Keshav aka my adoptive dad's eyes.

He is her father.

Her mother killed her father.

Undoubtedly my adoptive dad might have wanted to kill the unborn child who could put a stain on his reputation.

I know how minds of the rich work, if something endagers them, it needs to be eliminated.

He could have wanted to kill unborn Nikita, and her mother...

It's not her fault.

"Do you think Nikita is.." I ask, and Zara replies with a, "The similarities are there between the two. It is very possible. I'm 99% sure Nikita is Keshav's daughter."

"Oh shit.." I mumur.

"Don't worry, you guys aren't blood related. You can continue fucking or dating each other-"

"Zara that doesn't matter, I- I tried to kill her mom." I say.

"Because you wanted revenge! She'll understand, because you understand why she tried to kill him."

"She knew I knew she loved her mother, Zara. Killing her would mean-"

I can't even imagine what would transpire if I hadn't missed the shot. It was just an inch.

"You didn't know, Sid. You didn't know the reason. Now that you do, do you still want to kill her?"

She was assaulted, raped, and he wanted to kill her child. If I was her, I'd murder too.

So, no, I don't want to kill her anymore.

"Why did Mr. Singh hide all of this stuff from the press?" I ask, changing the subject.

"I believe it was because our dad wanted him dead already. It's understandable why he would hide Keshav's death."

I don't even feel like bringing justice to that man anymore.

He raped. He assaulted. He tried to kill an unborn baby.

He tried to kill my Nikita when she wasn't born.

How would I jave lived without my Nikita?

"What's with the sore face?" Shravan  asks.

"Nothing, I just attempted murder." I say.

He doesn't look surprised. He knows very well that I, Vijay and Ravi can murder easily, we have the connections and guts too.

"Attempted?" He asks with a chuckle, "You didn't?"

"No. It was Nikita's mom."

Shravan stops combing his blonde hair with his fingers and looks at me with glassy blue eyes, "What the fuck!?"

"She- she killed my dad."

"Your dad is alive." Shravan says, "Mr. Singh, he's alive."

"Not that dad, you idiot. My other dad. Keshav."

"Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait." Shravan says in a hurry, "Keshav.. Gaur? The oil tycoon who died many years back?"

"Yes. That one." I say.

"He's your dad? Then who is Mr. Singh?"

"Fucker, Keshav Gaur and I lived in the same house during the earlier parts of my life. Later, I lived with my biological dad- Mr. Singh."

"But.. how could Nikita's mom kill such a big personality? And she was the one who did? Oh my god, what the fuck-"

"Shut up Shravan. It's just I tried to kill Nikita's mom after I found out."

Shravan's face becomes solemn, ghostly, "She'll never forgive you."

"I know."

"So.. you wanted to kill her?"

"Yes I wanted to. The bullet missed her by an inch."

Shravan furrows his eyebrows, "Sidhant, are you hearing yourself?"

"What?" I ask.

"The bullet missed her by an inch? Or did you not want to kill her?"

"I wanted to."

"Sidhant, your aim is perfect. You've never missed a shot your whole life."
