“jo ishq faana na kar de, wo ishq kesa?”
Watching him nod at the other guy, she hide behind the wall.
“Get away, she is about to reach,” he looked around as she wiped a tear from her eyes. Taking a deep breath.
‘Why did I even wish he will different,’ she whispered to herself before she walked ahead with a neutral expression. He was looking at her, like he always did but today she was not looking at him like she always did. He was a deceiver.
Deceivers deserve to die.
“Hi baby,” He handed me the basket like he always did.
“Where are we going?” She asked with a small smile on her face, trying to keep her anxiety at bay. She would not let it show.
“I have a sexy surprise for you,” he said with a wink, Shazia smiled and turned her face in the other direction. She did not want to show her true emotions.
Well she will, not right now.
Half an hour later, he stopped in front of a restaurant. Shazia held her breath, ‘Did I judge him wrong?’ Her thoughts came to an end when he opened the door for her.
Shazia smiled at him and kept her delicate hand in his rough forwarded one.
“You planned a date,” She stated as they both entered the peaceful place.
“There’s something I want to ask, need to make it special,” He said holding her hand as he guided her to the table booked for them.
Her breath stuck in her throat as she looked at the same person she saw earlier coming towards them in waiter’s dress.
“What would you like to have, Sir, mam?” his gaze was professional. Shazia tried to keep her expression normal.
“First two champagnes please,” Andrew said before She could order something.
“Sure sir,” the waiter walked away as Shazia fisted the table cloth in her hand as she looked at him.
“Shazia, we have been seeing each other for the past 3 months now, I want to give a name to it,” He said as two glasses of champagnes arrived at their table.
“Andrew I—“Shazia did not know what to say or how to say, she can’t commit to him when he is on her hit list. She did not believe him, there was nothing to believe as well.
Quiet place, no sharp objects near them, away from the city.
This was a trap
“You don’t have to answer me right now but if you are at least considering it, please drink the champion and take all the time you want or you can walk out of the door and I’ll never disturb you again,” His words seemed genuine. She wanted to try.
Taking a deep breath, she held the champagne glass in her hand, his eyes making her nervous. Still contemplating whether she should throw it at his face or drink.
She pressed her lips on the glass surprising even herself let alone the man in front of her as he smiled.
“I’ll prove myself worthy of that sip, Shazia,” He said as caressed her knuckles and held eye contact with her.
‘I was wrong’ she thought to herself as he played a soft song on his phone and stood up, she smiled at him.
“Silly,” She said taking his forwarded hand.
“Only for you,” He whispered against her lips before taking her in a soft kiss. He twirled her around before she felt a needle on her neck.
‘That’s what happens when I don’t trust my intuition,’ Andrew felt her limp against him.
“Worked?” Dev, the waiter guy came and looked at her body, he checked her breathing to know if she was acting or they actually got her?
“Why wouldn’t it?” Andrew said as he held her in bridal style.
“We should not waste more time, make everything the way it was before the old owner of the property arrives, I’ll put her in the car,” Dev nodded and started cleaning all the traces of them being there.
The owner was an old guy whose children did not look after him, Dev had offered to get a deal for his property, The old guy agreed and gave him the keys to look at the place once.
They used it for their own purpose.
Andrew walked towards the car with Shazia in his arms, he let out a sigh as he glanced at her innocent face.
“I want to say sorry but I am not,” He whispered looking at her sleeping face.
“You know the first time I laid my eyes on you, you took my breath away, you were the best thing that could ever happen to me, until the day I got to know you were an agent, one that I was looking for,” He whispered keeping her limp body on the backseat of the car.
“I wish you were not who you are, I wish… I wish you could be mine,” He said before he closed the door of the car. Her heart was hurting he liked her… for real.
He wanted to propose her like this always and only wanted to hear a yes but then he got to know her identity.
“Shall we?” Dev asked as he walked to the car.
“Umm… Yeah,” He said clearing his throat.
“I know this isn’t easy for you,” Dev said as they settled into the car. “We know, we have to kill her even if she gives all the information, I have to kill the love of my life with my own hands,” He said punching the door.
“It never is,” Dev said in a low tone, his voice was deadly painful but horrifying as well. Maybe because he had done that. He had killed his love because of his duty for his country.
Andrew glanced at him then at the girl laying on the back side.
“Drive before I break my promise of duty for the country,” he said closing his eyes. Dev drove to their safe house.
***
The safe house was a scheduled place away from the city, no petrol pumps in the near 15 km radius gave them the advantage of fewer people even crossing the area.
Their hostages were safe here, away from the eyes of people and Italy’s government.
Dev got out and started to pull Shazia’s unconscious body harshly. “What the fuck are you doing?” Andrew asking as he glared at Dev, walking up to him, he rubbed the spot on Shazia’s hand that was turning red.
“Stop with your emotions Andrew, we may need to kill her,” Dev said rubbing his template. He was growing sick of the loves represented in front of him.
“Or not,” He said before holding her body softly, He took her in his arms and walked towards the safe house.
Keeping her on the chair of basement, Andrew looked at Dev who was setting up the cameras to record her confession and every other information.
Andrew went to grab the pen and paper, “You can fight this right?” Dev was standing right behind him as he closed the cabinet.
He could not meet his eyes,” this feeing, which is asking you to kill me and run away from our duty,” Dev stated as Andrew smiled.
The smile was nothing like a happy one but more of a psychopathic, “I’m tempted,” that was all he said before they heard the sound of heels echoing.
Andrew loaded his gun and Dev grabbed his knife before they walked to the room they left Shazia in.
“I see you missed my smell,” Andrew heard as they opened the door.
“Of that pussy, yeah,” he said as he looked at the girl whom he drugged not so long ago.
“Let’s sit, Shall we?” Dev asked pointing his knife at her as her eyes traveled to the gun in Andrew’s hands.
Shazia looked at the chair as her eyes scanned the room, she was looking for a way to escape those two.“You can’t escape, there’s only one way, this door,” Dev said cockily as Shazia gulped, slowly taking the seat, her eyes stayed on Andrew, who had a stone expression on his face.Dev held the camera in his hand and pulled the drawer open. Keeping the tripod on the desk, he set it up as it showed her face correctly.“Why did you do that?” Andrew was the one to ask. His voice was loud in the small furniture-less place; Shazia gulped, closing her eyes.‘I can’t be weak, I can’t be weak,’ she chanted in her mind until he banged his hand on the desk, making blood slip down his hand. Her whole body shook with fear. She never liked violence. It made her remember the way her father used to beat her mother.It was a triggering memory Shazia flinched as she eyed his hand and then his injured hand.“Why?” He asked once again, his eyes were turning red with each passing moment. He just wanted
Shazia moved a little away from Andrew as his jaw clenched, she was walking away from him. Just like that? The thought did not go well with him.“I see my last wish is here,” Shazia said happily as Dev glanced at Andrew.“What? Pass it to me,” She said, showing her all 36 teeth; Dev wanted nothing more than to throw the water at her face.‘What did my brother see in her?’ He was forced to think. Making a disgusted face, he slid the glass towards her as she smiled, holding the glass like a little girl.“I was really craving some ice,” She said, happily sucking on the piece of block ice as Andrew glanced at her; after all, this was the last time he was going to see her alive.Dev looked away, bored from the whole situation, taking a seat. He stared at the wall zoning out in his own world of memories.Shazia drank some water and closed her eyes. The cold water calmed her nerves, maybe even freezing them a bit, but she did not mind.“Your five minutes are up, Shazia,” Andrew said in a low
“Awe, my little munchkin,” Saba coed the small 2-year-old as he threw his legs in the air making her smile. Throwing all her hair on the other side, she took a little more baby oil in her hands and rubbed her palms before massaging the baby’s body, which was enjoying it to the fullest.“Elena, calm down baby,” the baby’s mother, Charlotte, came inside the room with a smile on her face.“ma.. mah,” She said in her baby tongue as she tried to run towards her mother, “Elena, be careful,” Saba was quick to hold her before she could fall down from the bed. Thank fuck to the pillow wall she placed on the side of the bed.“My goodness, are you okay, baby?” Charlotte asked her daughter as Saba moved aside, making way for the mother-daughter duo.“Here, drink it,” She was about to feed Elena with the bottle when Saba took the bottle from her hands.“What’s the matter?” Charlotte asked in a harsh tone as Saba kept the bottle away from her reach.“Mam, I just gave her a massage, it is not good f
Jesse served the coffee to the old couple who always came to her bakery they smiled, “Goodnight honey,” She smiled at them as they walked out. Jesse felt the presence of someone in the bakery as she looked around, only to find him standing at the door.“Leave me!” She cried as he choked her throat even more, his fingers were surely going to leave marks on her skin.Tears started to burn her eyes as she wiggled in his grip, “St-op,” She cried, but he held her tighter, cutting off her oxygen supply completely.“Ja.. Jacob!” She breathed as he loosened his grip around her throat. Not having any more energy in her body, she fell on the floor coughing hard.Her face turned red as she wiped her tears, still coughing, trying to suck in as much oxygen as she could.“You had one job!” he yelled at her as she closed her eyes in fear. She soothed her aching throat with her fingers as she glanced at him.His irritated self threw the water glass directly at her face, making her cough with shock ag
What should I do with you now?” She asked, as his throat turned dry. She said, her hand wrapped around his throat.“Give me some more time,” he said as he closed his eyes for a second.“tsk, tsk, tsk, more time? How come I trust you again?” She asked in a rough voice. A drop of sweat rolled down from his forehead as a shiver went down his spine.“Trust me one last time,” he said, trying to be confident, but he looked more like a scared wet cat out of the gutter.“Lies are not trusted. What do you keep as collateral?” She asked as he nodded, handing her a pen drive.“University’s map and camera loophole ways to reach the lab,” he said internally, praying that she agreed on this to give him some time.“impressive but not enough. You promised me the information today,” She said, applying more pressure on his neck, making it hard for him to breathe.“I a—am t—trying,” He let out the words with more difficulty.“You beat that woman for the one you claimed to love, didn’t you?” she asked as
Saba looked at her reflection as she stood in front of the gates of Jacob’s mansion. Holding her purse nervously in her hands, she bit her lips, looking around. She was waiting for permission to go in like she did every day.“You may go in, mam,” the gatekeeper said as she nodded with a small smile.“Martha, can you tell me where Mr. Jacob is?” She asked the headmaid who happened to be her friend.“Of course, He just told me to send a coffee to his study,” Martha said as she handed Saba the tray and placed two coffees in that tray.“Do you mind taking these two to his study, since you seem like going to meet him?” She asked with a teasing smile, “Sure,” she nodded.This was the best way to meet him without any awkward reasons. Saba walked up the stairs to his study room.Taking a deep breath, Saba raised her hand to knock on the door. When she did not hear any reply from the others, she knocked again but the door was open.Glancing at the door again, she pushed it open to walk inside,
Jacob made a fist of his hand as he turned to his wife, " I have something for you," he said, as Charlotte smiled. "Oh really?" She smiled, taking his forward hand. It's been quite some time since he gifted something to her. "Slow down, I am still sore," She said, blushing away as he nodded, taking slow steps now. He took her quite rough an hour ago. Jacob took her to the room connected to his study. Charlotte looked at him with a smile as he pressed a kiss on her lips. "I have a gift for you," he said as she smiled, taking a seat on the bed. She watched him open the cabinet near the bed. He handed her a set of papers and a pen. Charlotte's smile dropped as she read the agreement. "What kind of sick joke is this, Jacob?" She asked, throwing the divorce papers on the bed. Her eyes filled with water, she loved this man so much and here he was handing her divorce papers.No way was she going to sign them. "I am giving you half of this property along with Elena's co-parenting custo
“Thank you for this job, Meera,” Saba said as she took the dress from Meera. “Don’t take me for an easy boss, I am a very strict one,” Meera said with a smile as they both giggled. “The store was getting hard to manage alone since all the students were taking their leaves,” Meera said as she walked towards the billing counter. “Yeah they need to focus on studies now,” Saba said as she switched on the news. “This is KKN news from Milan University, reporting live, Yesterday night a girl tried to Heck into the physics department of the University, the said words are she was trying to steal research information, The Name of the said girl is Shazia Khan,” the beautiful news reporter spoke as they both looked at the screen. “the girl is now in the custody of the police, doubts of her being a spy or connected to the Mafia are in the air—“ Before the Anchor could complete her sentence Meera put the TV on mute and looked at Saba, “You study in the same university, don’t you?” She asked
