ENIGMA

UNYIELDING 2

Ruhani, already in distress, began to scream and cry uncontrollably as she saw the violence unfold.

Ronit's pained scream echoed in the room.

Advik's gaze was unyielding.Seeing
Ruhani's reaction, his anger flared
further. He turned sharply towards her."Be quiet!" he commanded, his voice harsh and firm.

Ruhani, trembling and exposed
struggled to remain upright. Her cries
grew louder, her fear overwhelming her.

Advik's face hardened as he saw her
distress, but his resolve was unwavering
He raised his weapon again, his eyes
locked on Ruhani

"I said be quiet!" he barked, his voice
echoing in the small room. His tone
brooked no argument

Ronit screamed in pain, clutching his bleeding arm as he staggered back, his eyes wide with terror.

Before Ronit could react, one of Advik's
men entered the room and quickly
gagged him, silencing his cries. The other
men moved in, securing Ronit with ropes
as he writhed on the floor, his muffled
screams filling the room.

Ruhani, still trembling, stood frozen as
the horrifying scene played out in front
of her. The sharp crack of the gunshot
still echoed in her ears, the sight of Ronit
writhing on the floor, blood seeping
through his fingers as he clutched his
wounded arm. Her mind was a whirl of
confusion and fear, unable to process the
sheer brutality of what she had just
witnessed.

Advik's demeanor remained cold and
commanding. "If you don't stop
crying and listen, I will have no choice
but to make things even more difficult
for you. This is not the time for your
emotions to take over. Do you
understand?"

But when Advik's cold, piercing gaze
turned to her, the fear that had
paralyzed her suddenly gave way to a
desperate urge to act. Her heart
pounded in her chest as she took a shaky
step forward, her voice trembling as she
pleaded, "Advik, please...Let him go. He's
hurt, just let him go!"

She began to move towards Ronit, her
instincts compelling her to help him, to
somehow stop this madness. But before
she could take another step, Advik's arm
swung around, and with a swift, ruthless
motion, he fired another shot

The gunshot rang out, deafening in the
enclosed space. Ronit's scream of agony
filled the room as the bullet tore through
his other hand, the force of the impact
sending him collapsing to the floor. He
gasped, his body convulsing in pain,
unable to even clutch at his wounds with
his mangled hands.

Ruhani shrieked in terror, her hands
instinctively flying to cover her ears as
the sound of the gunshot and Ronit's
pained cries overwhelmed her senses.
Tears streamed down her face as she
shook her head, the reality of the
situation crashing down on her with a
brutal force. She sobbed uncontrollably,
her body trembling as she pressed her
hands tighter against her ears, trying to
block out the horrifying sounds

Too frightened to defy him, she
stumbled back, her legs nearly giving
out beneath her. She was sobbing
uncontrollably now, her hands still
clamped over her ears, but she could do
nothing but obey. She didn't dare move,
too terrified of what he might do next,
her entire body shaking with the force of
her fear.

Advik's eyes bore into hers, his
expression dark and commanding, his
voice dripping with cold menace, "This is
what happens when you make reckless
decisions. When you think you can go
against me."

He turned his gaze back to Ronit, who lay
on the floor, whimpering in pain, barely
conscious. Advik's lip curled in disdain as
he holstered his gun, his focus returning
to the trembling figure of Ruhani.

"You will stay exactly where you are,"
Advik ordered, his voice low but laced
with an unmistakable threat. "You will
not move until I say you can, Is that
clear?"

Ruhani nodded frantically, her body still
trembling, her sobs barely subsiding. She
couldn't bring herself to look at Ronit,
couldn't bear to see what had been done
to him. All she could do was stand there,
paralyzed by fear, and hope that
whatever Advik had planned next, it
wouldn't be as terrifying as what she had
just witnessed.

Her face wet with tears, struggled to form words, her lips trembling as she sobbed. She could barely breathe, the terror gripping her so tightly that her chest felt like it might burst. But still, the words forced their way out of her, desperate and pleading "Advik... please...just let him go," she whispered, her voice breaking as she
begged. "He's already hurt, just..
please.. forgive him..

But her pleas only seemed to stoke the
fire in Advik's eyes. His jaw tightened
and he stepped closer, his gaze locked
onto hers with a deadly intensity. His
voice was cold, almost a growl as he
spoke, "I warned you."

He raised the gun slightly, the cold metal
glinting in the dim light. His expression
was unreadable, a mixture of anger and
ruthless determination. "If you say
another word, I swear I will put a bullet
in his empty brain right now. His life is hanging by a thread. That thread is your silence. Do you understand?"

Ruhani's breath hitched, her body going
completely still. The room seemed to
close in around her, the walls pressing in
as if to suffocate her. She wanted to
scream, to beg, to say anything that
might make this nightmare stop, but the
look in Advik's eyes froze the words in
her throat

"Try me," Advik barked, his voice cutting
through the air like a blade. His finger
hovered ominously over the trigger, his
gaze never leaving her face. "One more
word, and I'll end this, right here, right
now."

Ruhani's eyes widened in horror, her
breath coming in short, ragged gasps
She could barely stand, her legs
trembling so violently that she feared
they might give out from under her. But
the terror of what he might do, the
absolute certainty in his voice, kept her
rooted to the spot.

She bit down hard on her lip, the taste of
blood filling her mouth as she tried to
suppress the sobs that threatened to
escape. She nodded shakily, her eyes
pleading, but she dared not utter a
sound.

Advik watched her for a long, tense
moment, his eyes searching hers for any
sign of defiance. Then, slowly, he
lowered the gun, though his grip on it
remained firm, his posture still rigid and
menacing.

"That's better," he said, his voice low and
dangerous. "Now, stay quiet, and maybe
-just maybe-he'll leave here alive."
