Fate's Magic

33:- The truth

AUTHOR POV:-

She started mingling with the guests do mend in, keeping an eye out for potential danger and her targets.

After sometime she started snooping around here and there trying to find them.

That's when she noticed someone that made her heart drop..

SUHAANA SINGHANIA POV:-

The dazzling chandeliers cast glistening light across the grand hall, making the masks of the guests gleam with an air of mystery. A symphony played softly in the background, elegant and calming, but none of it registered with me.. the only thing I could remember was Raj's pained expression.. the way he cried hugging me, the way he blamed himself for everything that happened..

My heartbeat drummed loud and fast, almost drowning out the chatter of the attendees. The moment I spotted him, the air around me seemed to thicken..

the shadows of Raj's haunted past that had etched invisible scars on him and stolen his peace. A flurry of guilt swept through me. I knew I was taking a risk, coming here alone, but the image of Raj's broken expression, his trembling voice as he revealed his pain, made my resolve ironclad...i can do anything but see him hurt..he is my everything...

I don't expect others to not hurt him but I expect from myself to be able to protect him and take care of him..

Adjusting my mask, I whispered into my earpiece, "Status update."

"Clear so far, ma'am. No sign of targets yet, but Aman Tyagi and Vijay Malhotra are reported to be in the north wing," Ajay's voice crackled back.

Zindagi mein sab kuch jhel skti hu..but Raj ko dukhi nahi. For him i will fuck up the whole damn world if I have to.

I thought that he was nothing but a liability that was tied with me, we never wanted this wedding but...ab samajh aane laga hai...Raj ek galti nahi..ek burden nahi balki meri kismat hai..meri Haqeeqat hai..and ab mera sb kuch hai...

Raj's eyes..they show the emotions that they help can't express..the eyes that have the power of making someone feel loved, happy, sad and even take others pain away while hiding his own..

Un aankhon mein jinme mujhe apnaa sab kuch dikhta hai..unmein meine uske aasu dekhe hain..all because of these fuckers.

I will make them pay.

I took a deep breath, steadying myself, even as my mind wavered under the weight of Raj's pain.

His pain was a mirror reflecting my own failure..the promises I couldn't keep, the happiness I couldn't secure for him...but this is the last time I'll let it happen. I would kill and get killed for him without a second thought.

"North wing," I repeated softly into the earpiece, my gaze scanning the room, while still trying to blend in the crowd "Any unusual movement there?"

"Negative," Ajay responded, his voice tensed yet professional.

"But reports suggest they're heavily guarded. Proceed with caution. Mam I really think that we should call it off Raj sir ko pata- "

Before he could say something more I cut him off saying

"Do you know how long it takes for someone to bleed out from a severed artery, Ajay? Thirty seconds. That's all. If you question me again, I'll make sure you feel every one of those seconds before it's over. Now, do you have anything else to say?"

He didn't dare to say another word about this knowing what's best for him. I don’t take orders when it comes to protecting Raj. Anyone who tries to control me better be ready for the consequences
