Chapter Two

Eveleen's POV

        I was standing near the railing, spreading the view with my eyes. It was college in front of me. I could see empty classrooms through the opened windows. It was evening, but the sun was still shining bright. It was summer. Sun sets late these days. Light breeze was brushing my skin. I turned back and gazed at the Hall full of people. I know only a few relatives of our family who often visit our house. It was a large hall. This building had five stories. Our party was going on the fifth floor. I sauntered at my friends, pushing the glass door open. Cool wind of air-conditioning hit me and relieved a bit of the hot skin of mine. I gazed around to see my friends. I spotted Rose with her phone. She is my friend and cousin. She is pretty enough, five feet six inches tall, slim and black hair with short length and green eyes. It was rare to find a green-eyed girl in Sikanderabad. She was busy on her phone. It was the sixth call from her father. I removed my eyes from Rose to find the comedy star of our group. " Gol gappe…. " Mini screamed from her seat in joy. I didn't need to make efforts to find her. She was already holding pasta's plate in her hand and now she was attacking on golgappa. She was a mixer of mine and Rose weight, light brown hair, black eyes, brown skin with a cute face and heart. I strode in my high heels and took the seat next to Mini. Her mouth was filled with food. She offered my filled gol gappa. I opened my mouth in invitation. I took the bit. It was so delicious. Rose and Mini, both are my cousin and friends. 

     Rose walked toward us with an angry look, " Dad is asking us to leave the party. " Rose disappointingly said.

     " Our cop dads. They will never allow us to enjoy our lives. " Mini rolled her eyes and picked up Coca-Cola and finished it in one gulp, " It's a decent party." She annoyed and put the pasta plate on the table with a loud thud. Fortunately, there was a loud buzz of swarm of people and of course, the party must be boring without music. It was on high volume. 

     " Let's go. " My friends asked me to leave the hall immediately. 

    Abruptly, music stopped. The manager came into the hall and was asking all to leave. I couldn't get the whole matter because of the buzz of the crowd in the hall. There was a haunted look on everyone's face around us. I was already bored from the lecture of our professor. I wasn't interested in hearing from him. 

    I thought about it for a second. " Okay, let's go. " I nodded my head. Though, I didn't want to go back home yet. Sun was still bright out in the sky. It got crowded. People gathered around the elevator. We waited for the elevator, " It would take ages to reach the ground floor. " I told them. 

    " We don't have that much time Evie, " Rose said to me. I could see a haunted look on her face. 

    " Let's get out of this place using the stairs. " Mini held my wrist and started to walk hurriedly out of the building. They both are always protective toward me. Specially, after the death of our brothers. Some mobster leader killed them. I swept the hurting memories away. 

    " What's wrong with you both? Why are you behaving so strangely?" I asked in puzzlement and was a little annoyed. 

     " My dad called me and asked me to get out of this building. A Mafia man has booked the fourth floor for his party. It is not a normal party like we do, you know. " Rose said, getting impatient. 

      I ignored her and wasn't paying attention to her words. Frankly, buzz was making it hard to concentrate on one thing, " What are you saying Rose? I'm not getting it. What kind of party our parents will not allow us to have, like a bikini party, party with boys or um, I'm curious to know what kind of party is going there. " I asked, raising my eyebrows. 

     She opened her mouth to reply to me, but stopped. There was a dread look on her face and the same look on all passersby. 

    " Didn't you notice? She said M A F I A " Mini spelled out the last word in her scared tone. 

     " Tell me you're joking." I demanded. 

     " Swear of mother." Rose said with horrible expressions.

     " We're not kidding, Evie. " Mini said with the same tone. 

      She would never lie on her mom's swear. My Eyes widened with shock and fear. When I saw and found out, why did she stop? A man was standing in front of her pointed his gun at her. 

      " You are coming with me. " he said in a heavy tone, " You three. " he pointed at us. He was a horrible looking person. There was a cut on his left side of his face. Evilness could be easily seen in his eyes and face. He was running his eyes on us. 

    I stopped and slowly moved near him to punch him in the face. But Mini was faster than me. She pushed the Gunman so hard. He fell on the ground. His gun slipped from his hand. I instantly took steps to get out of this hell through stairs. Rose and Mini were a few steps ahead from me. We reached the fourth floor. We ran toward the exit door. I saw both my best friends crossing the threshold of the staircase. 

    " Not You Baby! " I heard a heavy voice again, but with command. I felt a strong and ruff hand on my wrist. It pulled me back. I just wanted to get out of here. I tried hard to get free from the devil's hold without looking at him. I could hear my friends' yelling my name. His strong grip was getting tighter. It was hurting me now. I was feeling the weakest one now. He tugged me toward him. I didn't dare to look at him. 

     He yanked me forward with his full force. A small squeal jumped out of my lips. 

     My eyes saw him. He was in fine clothes. He was good looking, black eyes and his hair were matching with his eyes. He was handsome with an evil spirit and mind. 

    " You're so gorgeous. " he said, touching the left side of my face with his ruff and bulky hand. 

   I pushed it away with my free hand, " Leave my hand. " I snapped and tugged it. 

     His face was holding the same flirty and evil expression on his dangerous face.

     " You should hire such girls for me, You motherfuckers. " he grimaced at his men, making his hold tight on my waist. 

      My body tensed, listening hire from him. Cruel people treat girls like stuff. 

    He smirked at me, " I'll marry you. You'll be my queen. You're my first sight love, darling.'' he declared. 

     My eyes got wider than before, " Let go of me. " I was struggling to get free from his hold, but he dragged me toward the hall. I was pulling my arm from his hold. His muscular arm held me strongly, " You'll hurt yourself, darling. " I heard him. There wasn't buzz and hurdles of people on this floor. It was carrying stillness. 

     He hauled me in the hall. There were many evil faces presented in the hall. Not merely his bad people, there were a lot of prostitute girls. There were hardly any clothes on them. It frightened me. He forcefully turned me with his hold on me and pushed me away. It was like he threw me easily. I fell on the ground. He took his gun out and pointed at me. His one of the men offered him a chair and he sat on it in the center of the hall. His gun was still pointed at me. All was giving attention to him as God was going to start his good words. 

    " No motherfucker will touch her. She belongs to me. " he told his men in a high pitched tone. It reverberated in the massive hall. One of his men gave a devil laugh. He bent his head and coldly glared at him. He turned his gun to him and ran the trigger. Bullet hit him in his forehead. He felt on the ground with a loud thud. I yelled in a loud and high pitched tone. 

     " No one can touch her, harm her, laugh at her. Only I can, I'd be me. " He shouted again. 

    He turned his gaze at me, softening his expressions. His menacing voice was reverberating in my ears. It sent shivers in my body. 

      What will he do to me? 

        " Does your mother know how to cook? " he asked me with the same flirty tone. His gun was a few inches away from my head. It puzzled me. Was he mad?

    " Yes. " I mumbled, looking at the dead body. 

     " Good! We will enjoy ourselves in the bedroom and your mother will cook for us. I will marry you right now right here. " he said in the same tone. 

      " You need a doctor. " I glared at him in horror, but I said my words boldly. 

      Meanwhile, I heard a gun shoot outside of the hall. All girls presented in the hall started to run in fear here and there. I took it as an opportunity and stood on my feet and ran at the exit. 

      " Stop! " I heard his heavy tone with a gunshot. 

     My inner voice was saying he would catch me. I saw a large table and hid myself under it. It was covered with white decorated clothes, touching the bottom of the marble floor. I tightly put my hands on my mouth, almost clamping it. I didn't wanna make any noise. I was a few steps away from the door, to reach out of this floor. 

      " Find my future wife. " he shouted at his men. It scared the hell out of me hearing ' my future wife' from his filthy mouth.
