75 LETTER

AVNI'S POV:

After spending hours in each other's arms, we went into the washroom to freshen up. Later, we fell asleep together, wrapped in warmth and comfort.

The next time I woke, I felt a small weight on my stomach. Slowly opening my eyes, I saw my little munchkin sitting there, gazing at me. I pulled her closer, and she landed softly against me. Wrapping my arms around her, I held her while she snuggled into my neck.

"Mumma bukki bukki," she mumbled, and I laughed at her demanding nature.

"Baby, let me freshen up first. Then I'll feed you. Just give me fifteen minutes, please," I said. She nodded like a good girl.

"Now go and check if your brothers are awake," I added, and she quickly ran out of sight.

I went into the washroom, freshened up, and changed into a simple dress. When I came downstairs, I noticed Arjun sitting on the single sofa while my babies played nearby. I entered the kitchen and helped the chef reheat breakfast.

Breakfast went smoothly. Vedu left for school, while King and Skye went for a walk with the butler. I returned to the bedroom and lay down. Soon, Arjun entered, locking the door behind him. A smirk formed on his lips, and I knew what was coming next. My instinct was right—he hovered above me, kissing my lips. Soon, our clothes were on the floor, and he was loving me again, just like the night before. I didn't stop him, even though it was painful.

After three rounds on the bed, one in the bathtub, and one under the shower, we returned to the room. He carried me and helped me the entire time. Dressing me in his shirt, he buttoned it up properly, laid me on the bed, and left the room. Tears filled my eyes as I watched him go. He had never left me like this before, and I didn't understand why. It hurt to see him walk away after such tender moments. Covering myself, I closed my eyes, and sleep soon consumed me.

When I woke in the evening, he was still not beside me. I changed into fresh clothes and went downstairs. I prepared evening snacks for everyone and served them to Vedu, Anya, and my babies, who looked delighted to have something different from their usual dog food. Skye barked after taking a bite, as if to say it was delicious. King looked at me intently, then suddenly stood on his hind legs and hugged my legs. I quickly wrapped my arms around him so he wouldn't fall. After a few minutes, he returned to his food. Skye padded over and hugged my feet.

I washed my hands and carried Arjun's snacks to his study. Knocking on the door, I entered when I heard his "Come in." I placed the plate on the table and left without looking at him. He didn't stop me, nor did he lift his eyes from his laptop.

Back in my room, I showered, sitting in the bathtub filled with cold water. After half an hour, I changed into fresh clothes and went to prepare dinner for everyone.

One Week Later

I entered my cabin and froze. On the desk sat a box—similar to the ones that had been sent months ago by the blackmailer. A shiver ran through me as memories of Anya's injury and Vikram's accident resurfaced. He had admitted to intentionally hitting Vikram's car that night.

I picked up the box and opened it. Inside was a letter and a small doll wrapped in white cloth. My hands trembled as I unfolded the letter.

The Letter

Hello Avni, miss me? Oh, I know you didn't. I see you are very happy ignoring my wishes, so it's time for punishment.

If you think I won't do anything, you're wrong, Baby. I am still capable of killing your pretty little daughter. But I won't do it now. I want you to watch her die with your own eyes—or better yet, kill her with your own hands. What do you say?
