Passion The Buried Secret

Evil's Lair ||Part 2||

Zoya looked at Asad. They turned to Madhu and Rishab who were alarmed too. They exchanged glances and finally turned to Arnav who stood at the by the stairs.

"Where's Khushi?" Madhu asked

"There" Arnav pointed

They tried to look where he was pointing but soon realized they were ambushed. A circle of dozens men had trapped them.

"Bloody imposter!" Zoya gritted letting the lightning bolted towards Arnav. There was no need to act anymore. They were in the lair of Demonio just on the top of infinite stairs in the ambush they happily welcomed just for Khushi but stopped their kids to enter and even didn't reply to Mahira's telepathy just to keep them out of this mess.

Arnav tried to run in side to protect himself but got hurt on shoulder.

"Woohoo!" He looked at Zoya baffled "you should've tell me you already know. I was so sick of all that acting."

The imposter Arnav, smirked and soon his face changed into another one.

"I must introduce myself after all" he said "so here I am, Daren just Daren"

"You....." Asad tried to attack him but was stopped by another man

Asad kicked the man in his stomach and let the blue fire bathed him. The man disappeared. Asad turned back to Rishab who had already killed two man around him. He gave a nod to him.

Madhu pushed a man. She closed her eyes and a whiff of air escaping her fingers, strangled the man to his death.

Zoya tried to reach Daren. She was angered by the betrayal they were trying to suppress from so many days and now the concern for her dear friend made her even more angry. Only she knew how she was controlling herself all these days.

In just a matter of second, they killed all the man except for Daren who was hiding himself.

Asad held Zoya's hand and together with Madhu and Rishab, they combined their powers and killed Daren in one strike.

"Finally!" Rishab was looking at Daren's ashes and was satisfied by his brutal death for trying to deceive them all these days

"Same as before! I like it!" A voice boomed in the darkness startling them all

"You should've told me, we could've done this together, you know. After all, he was of no use now." A shadow appeared not far from them

Madhu was the first one to understand. She stepped back in shock.

"No!" She muttered

"This can't be!" Zoya stood with wide eyes

"What?" The voice came closer "you can talk with me directly why all these jumble words?"

"Who are you?" Asad asked preparing to attack, he didn't care what his wife and friend were thinking. He had enough of deceit.

"Asad.... He...." Rishab held his hand trying to stop him

"He what, Rishab?" Asad shouted "can't you feel all those malevolent vibes coming from him? He is not what you are thinking!"

"Uh- uh." The shadow came in clear light taking away their breath "how can you forget me, Asad?"

Asad steps faltered but he tried to grip his belief even when he could sense what everyone else had already realized.

"This is your trick, Demonio. I know its just an illusion." Asad shouted, he didn't want to believe what he was seeing. He so wanted it to be an illusion. But the feeling of being connected was too strong to doubt.
