Chapter-122

Author's POV

" Hello?" Shiva remained silent trying to identify the voice but it sounded unfamiliar.

" Mr. Aras?" He didn't answer, his eyes were still focused on his wife talking to the beggar.

" Hello..?" he looked back at others. They were all sitting on the stairs, talking something.

" Who's this?" Shiva asked in his icy tone. There was complete silence on the other end. " What nonsense" he gritted out annoyed at the person.

Shiva pulled the phone back and quickly his eyes travelled towards Parul, she was holding the money towards him.

" Fuck-"

" Mr. Shiva, can you hear me?" The person spoke eagerly.

Shiva gritted holding his phone to his ear. " We called to inform you that th-"

" Nooo....." a shrill cry escaped her lips as she was pulled hard against his chest.

" Paaru...." Shiva rushed towards her. Within a fraction of a second, two black cars stopped behind Parul and the man was now holding a knife to her neck.

Shiva didn't care about anything else, his men surrounded the cars, all pointing their weapons at the man holding Parul at knifepoint.

It took a minute for Manvi to move from her spot. It felt nostalgic. The history was repeating.

" Stop right there Ratha... Or this knife will be inside her throat" He threatened pushing the blade towards her skin.

It all happened very fast. Shiva realised that he had fallen into a trap. The call was made to distract him and they succeeded.

Shiva didn't move an inch. His heart was in his throat. Parul looked at Shiva with fear-filled eyes.

" Brunda" Manvi whispered grabbing Aryan's arms tightly. Aryan shielded her.

" Ask these dogs to drop their weapons..." Brunda Khatri said, his grey eyes fixed on Shiva's blazing chocolate pools.

A pulse in his jaw ticked dangerously. But he had to oblige. Or he would hurt Parul.

" Drop the weapons, Now!" Shiva ordered and all his men obliged and pulled their weapons down.

Parul had tears in her eyes. She could see the fear in his eyes. She didn't want to lose him or lose herself in this battle.

Why are you testing us like this? She thought.

The urge to destroy everything was raging through his veins. Shiva would tolerate anything but her teary eyes.

" Wow!!" Brunda chuckled surprised. Parul fought hard to not let those traitorous tears fall down her cheeks.

" He loves you..." Brunda declared looking at Shiva who was raging at this point. Parul's heart was beating abnormally.

As sick as it seemed, she felt happy to hear those words.

Indeed he loves her.

" Let her go, you bastard" Shiva gritted, it took everything in him to stop from moving forward. The knife pointed to his wife's neck forced his body to still.

He chuckled, like a madman.

" Oh... I'd like to have a taste of her" He said, bringing his face closer to Parul's cheeks.
