Selfish For You

47

Yuvraj pulled up slowly in front of the mansion, the weight of everything settling over him as he looked at the sprawling building. Kritika was still unconscious in the back seat, her face peaceful but worn. Gently, he carried her out of the car, holding her close as he made his way toward the entrance. Inside, a hushed tension filled the air; everyone was waiting

Akki had reached the mansion first, bringing with him the shocking news of everything that had happened. Yuvraj’s father was furious, an expression of anger and disbelief on his face as he saw his son carrying Kritika into the house

"Yuvraj, stop right there" his father’s voice boomed, full of authority. But Yuvraj didn’t slow down. Instead, he looked at his father with a fierce glare that silenced the room

"Not a word" he warned, his tone cold and unyielding "My wife needs rest. We’ll talk later"

Yuvraj’s father clenched his jaw, his face reddening with anger, but he stayed quiet and turned to his wife who's looking at her son with a small smile seeing the clear difference between both father and son

" Is this what you taught your son ? Look at him talking back to his father and going against him" yuvraj's father glare at her who frowned looking at him , her son? Ofcourse her son because his father was too busy to be his father since he was a baby , so definitely it's her only cause she's the one who made him the way he is and she has zero regrets for that

" My mother taught me things you never knew exists dad and I really really wish that someone could have taught you just as much as my mother had taught me...it really would have been enough " yuvraj said without stopping and took kritika upstairs, laying her carefully on his bed. He adjusted the covers, ensuring she was comfortable before brushing a gentle hand over her forehead. She stirred slightly, her brow furrowing, but she didn’t wake. With one last look at her, Yuvraj quietly left the room, shutting the door behind him

As Yuvraj descended the stairs, a storm was brewing. His father’s anger had only intensified, and the tension was palpable. Family member's eyes darting between Yuvraj and his father. Akki stood to one side, concern etched on his face but he's ready to stand by his brother if needed no matter who's in front

"What were you thinking?" his father demanded, his voice sharp "Bringing that girl here, creating a spectacle. Do you realize what this could mean for our family?"

Yuvraj’s gaze was icy "What I did was the only choice I had, and I don’t owe anyone an explanation"

"Don’t owe..." His father’s voice was incredulous ,"This family has a reputation, Yuvraj. You think you can just act recklessly and ignore the consequences?"

Yuvraj’s voice dropped, low and controlled, each word carrying weight. " Reputation? You talk about reputation, but where were you when she was suffering? When she was beaten, humiliated, and forced into a marriage she didn’t want? She was also like a family to me and i did told every one of you how much she mean to me , right?Where was your sense of family then? "

The room fell silent, the gravity of Yuvraj’s words sinking in. His father’s face contorted with rage, but Yuvraj held his ground, unwavering

" You know what dad , the situation wouldn't have gotten this bad if you hadn't forced me to leave from here, but it's not completely your fault, it was mine... It's my fault that i followed your instructions, my fault that i didn't looked for her and my fault that i believed on that bitch's words "

" Don't cross your limits yuvraj " his father yelled but he didn't even flinched, looking unbothered but he's eyes are telling different story

" Bitch se yaad aya, apki niece kaha hai?" yuvraj looked around and when his eyes fall on her , his jaw clenched and hand went behind his back taking out his gun , everyone looked at him with wide eyes and gasped
