Dil Ko Tumse Pyar Hua!! ✓ [Love Hate Series #2]

51- His Passion

Manyata's POV

I felt a knot of unease tighten in my stomach as Nirved Chachu approached me in the room. 

His eyes bore into me with a lecherous intent that made my skin crawl. 

As he drew closer, the discomfort turned into sheer terror. 

Sensing my chance, I bolted from the room, my heart pounding as I fled to the living room. 

I crouched behind a couch, silently praying for Raghavendra to come home, my only hope in this desolate mansion.

My prayers seemed unanswered as Nirved Chachu's footsteps echoed down the stairs. 

His voice, dripping with sinister intent, sent chills down my spine. 

"Where are you, sweet Manyata?" he called, his tone both mocking and predatory.

In the corner of the room, I spotted Latika and a glimmer of hope flickered within me. 

I rushed over, my voice trembling as I recounted what had happened. 

Latika's face was a mask of concern, and she assured me that she would help. 

Innocently, I trusted her, not expecting the betrayal that followed.

With a sudden, cruel movement, Latika shoved my towards Nirved Chachu.

I stumbled, my eyes wide with shock and disbelief. 

"How can you do this? You're a woman too!"  I yelled, my voice cracking with fear and betrayal.

Latika smirked, her eyes glinting with malice. 

"Just because of you, Raghavendra is not mine. To have him, I can do anything. He is mine!"

Disgusted and horrified, I struggled against the horror of Latika's words. 

Raghavendra is my husband, and Latika's obsession made me sick. 

But it was what Latika said next that made me go numb with fear.

"Here you go, Nirved Uncle! Do whatever you want with her. Just make sure she never returns to Raghavendra's life. Destroy her so completely that she never dares to come back here."

Nirved Chachu's twisted smile sent waves of terror through me. 

He approached with a predatory gleam in his eyes, and I was a crying mess. 

As he hovered over me, his hand reaching for my neck, I felt a deep sense of dread.

Just then, Raghavendra's voice boomed through the hall, a thunderous roar that froze Nirved and Latika in their tracks. 

For me, it was a lifeline, a glimmer of hope in the darkest moment. 

Raghavendra's gaze was locked on Nirved, his eyes burning with unrestrained fury.
