Beintehaan (Completed)

48. Gun shots (Part 1)

Yusif paced anxiously back forth. Anika watched him with a bored look. He has been pacing since the dimwit of his brother left yelling to return only with Shivaay.

"why isn't he back yet?" she heard him mutter under his breath "he should've been here by now"

She rolled her eyes " will you relax there Mr. gang leader?" she drawled lazily " you'll give yourself a coronary" all fear had left her ever since she took a stand for herself and sent Shoaib running to prove his point. If anything all she felt was boredom. She wanted to get this over with as soon as possible and go back to bed to continue her rather rudely interrupted sleep.

Yusif stopped in mid pace "this is all your fault!" he growled.

Her brows shot up "my fault? You people make a living out of smuggling and you say it's my fault?"

His whole body tenses "don't push me woman. Am no better than my brother" he ground out.

She looked at her nails on her right hand, the black glossy paint was fine but she pretended to look for imperfection, making sure he knew that she was giving zero fucks about his threats " yeah yeah whatever" she muttered.

He took a threatening step towards her "don't mess with me, you have no idea what you are getting into"

He was right she shouldn't mess with him, even if he did seem a tad bit less crazy than his brother, he was still a criminal and was still capable of murdering her with his bare hands and no one would even know. But she had to buy time. She had to keep this brother busy so that he wouldn't be too worried to send more men after Shoaib, only making it difficult for Shivaay.

"you don't have any idea what you have already gotten yourself into" she shot back.

He leant down so fast she didn't even have time to jump. The chair she was sitting on creaked violently as he grabbed both the handles.

"I could kill you right now and no one would even hear you scream" he bit out through clenched teeth. Yup exactly her thoughts.

" I don't think your brother would like that" she told him, swallowing her fear. She had to stay strong. She had to hold on just a little while longer.

He stared menacingly at her and she held his gaze, fighting to not give in to her fear. She had to do it. She had to stay strong for both of them. She dared a look behind Yusif's glowering glare, at the door hoping anytime now Shivaay would stride in.

But the entry seemed vacant and Anika bought her eyes unwillingly back to the gang leader. His eyes steely with anger. More than anything it was the scar that had chills running up her spine.

It was huge and puckered, starting right from the corner of his left eye gashing across his entire cheek. Her gut twisted uneasily and her eyes snapped back to his "have I..." she paused " have I met you before?" she asked him. His glare simmered "why would you say that?" he sounded taken back.

Her eyes traced his scar again and shook her head " nothing just wondering if you ever came to me I would've have stitched your face up in a much prettier way"

He jerked upright, as if her words slapped him "you are really asking for it aren't you?" he whispered menacingly.

She didn't know where she got the nerve from, or maybe it wasn't the nerves, maybe she just wanted to do it because the heck even he was pissing her off, she rose slowly, standing to her full height, never breaking eye contact "I hate to break your heart" she told him her voice as sweet as pie " but you'll have to do much better than this if you expect to scare me"

He opened his mouth to let her have it when suddenly for the second time in that night a gunshot was heard. Anika moved but Yusif was faster than her. Before she could take a step his hand reached out grabbing her neck roughly.

" move and I won't think twice about putting a bullet through your pretty head" He rasped against her ears. Her blood turned cold as she felt the cold metal of the gun press against her temple.
