Precap:
Yeah your kidnapper. He sent all these clothes for you. Jeez, he has some serious money spending issues! He can spend a million before you can even say "Akshat's Sexy"' he said.

What the fudge? My kidnapper was a filthy rich sleaze!

Kaira's P.O.V.

My mind was frozen. I was in deeply engaged in my thoughts. If my kidnapper is rich, then definitely he hasn't kidnapped me for ransom. And I do remember that Akshat said that his boss had to kidnap me or the girl at that time, for some reasons. But what were the reasons? Who is my real kidnapper who's so secluded that he even hasn't showed his face? Is it because he's afraid that when I lodge a complaint in Police, his face will be recognised and he will be caught? If so, so stupid of him.

Now, I had to find my ways through Akshat to get to the reason.

Right now, I am sitting in this creaking wooden chair, the one in which I woke up that day and the one in which I wake up everyday nowadays. Yeah, it's been 2 days since I have been kidnapped.

I noticed this kidnapper of mines loves spending money on my comfort. For breakfast, lunch and dinner, we had tasty food from different cuisines. I loved, though I won't admit it.

Akshat came after half an hour, his eyes glued to his phone, sat in a chair opposite to mine but similar, creaking wooden chair.

I cleared my throat and he looked towards me.

'What? Do you want anything?' he asked.

'Yeah, I want a simple answer to my question', I stated sarcastically.

'So I take it as a "No, I don't want anything". Okay?' he retorted sarcastically.

'Hey! Okay. I want something. Actually can I ask you a question?' I asked.

'Shoot', he replied in mono syllabic manner.

'So you really know the reason why am I kidnapped?' I asked

'Yeah.... But don't expect any answers to your next question', he warned.

'C'mmon man! It's been two days since I have been kidnapped, I still don't know why and the main question, for how many days, this will be going on!', I snapped. He was about to answer when his phone interrupted.
Man! His phone has serious interruption issues. I wonder if it would interrupt when Akshat and Nakshi are in a compromising position. Before he picked up, I slightly moved in my comforting position to see the caller ID's name. It was.... Boss. My anger started fuming at the mention of his name, that too on someone else's phone!

He just muttered, yes sir, yes sir.
Boss's yes baby! Huh! Then suddenly he handed the phone to me. I was shocked as well as angry as well as frustrated by not getting to know the reason that why am I kidnapped.

I cleared my throat before muttering a Hello.

'Hi', is all I hear before I zone out. I.. I am in lack of words. The voice is so sweet, so beautiful to hear. I always knew this that kidnappers have harsh growling voice but this one, it was the sweetest voice I have ever heard. I have seen this movies and serials. I wonder why is he even a part of such a business?

'Hello? Are you still on the line, Kaira?' is what that pulls me out of my thoughts.

'Yeah, sorry, I zoned out.' I replied.

'I know. It's one of your habits.' he said.

I was shocked. How does he knows that? Even Akshat didn't know this. I had zoned out in front of Akshat for twice in the span of these two days, but he never said this.

'How?' I ask out of curiosity.

'Lets just say a birdie told me. Back to the point, there is something you need to know.' he stated which increased my curiosity.

He continued, 'Before I tell you what you need to know, I'll just make it clear don't interrupt in between. I will give you time to ask your questions but when I will speak you'll just remain quiet and listen to me. Okay?' he commanded.

'Huh! Yeah sure. You are the boss, remember?' I snapped sarcastically.

'Kaira! Okay?' he asked again emphasising on okay.

'Yeah, okay' I stated fearing what was coming.

'How the reason behind your kidnap is me. You are kidnapped because of me----'

I cut him off, saying, 'How is that possible? I'm not even your relative whom your rivalries will kidnap for their own advantage!' I stated, already regretting that I interrupted him.

'Stop cutting me off and interrupting. Don't you want to know the reason?' he asked.

'Yeah' is all I could say at that moment.

'Look, Kaira. I don't know what people didn't see in you. But to me, you are everything a guy looks for. I'm crazily in love with you. I don't care for the world. It's not a few days love. I love you since last two years. I don't know if you love me back, but I kidnapped you to convince you that I love you. People die for their love. I won't die for you, because there's nothing in this world that has the power to separate us. I love you, Kaira, I love you, Inside and Out!' he confessed.

I couldn't believe what my ears heard.
