All Chapters of Their Unsparing Destiny : Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Hidden completely from sight. She closed the empty box again. Placing it exactly where it had been. Nothing appeared disturbed. Nothing appeared missing. Unless someone counted. She turned toward the doorway and saw the same maid who told her about Ryker's absence in the haveli. The maid straightened. "Suno tum." The younger maid hurried towards her nervously. (Translation: Listen.) "Ji malkin." She asked. Sudha stepped closer. (Translation: Yes mistress.) "Thodi der baad main tumhe bula kar ek sawal pooch'ungi." Her voice became deceptively gentle. The maid looked confused. (Translation: After a while, I will call you and ask a question.) "Main pooch'ungi ki- kya tumne kisi ko is kamre ek aas-paas dekha tha?" The maid swallowed. Sudha's eyes locked onto hers. (Translation: I will ask- did you see anyone near this room?) "Jab sab logon ki nazar tum par hogi tab tum sirf ek hi naam logi." She instructed. (Translation: When all eyes will be on you, you will utter onl

Almost half an hour ago, the room upstairs had become unusually crowded. Cupboards stood open. Drawers had been pulled out. Several ladies moved from one corner to another, searching for the missing necklace. From inside it looked like an ordinary search. From the outside it looked anything but ordinary. In the front garden a man dressed in a simple black suit stood motionless beneath one of the old trees. To everyone else he looked like another member of the security staff. Quiet. Forgettable. Invisible. But he wasn't there merely to guard the haveli. He was one of Ryker's men. Ever since Ryker had brought Inaayat into his room he had stationed trusted men around the estate without informing anyone from the family. Not to spy. Only to make sure she was never left completely unprotected. His gaze wandered upward toward the first floor. Toward one particular balcony. Ryker and Inaayat's room. He frowned. Too many people. Women kept walking in and out of the room. Someone opened

"Phir... H-Hamein kheench ke bahar le gayi... Hamne sabse bola.. Aap ko bula dein... Hamne bola tha... A-Aap maan jayenge... Aap hamari baat sunenge. Par..." A broken hiccup escaped. (Translation: Then... s-she dragged me outside... I asked everyone... To call you... I said... y-you would listen... that you would listen to me. But...) "Kisi ne... Kisi ne aap ko nahi bulaya..." Her tiny voice shattered completely. (Translation: No one... No one called you...) "Hum bahut darr gaye t-the. Bohot..." She buried her face against him again. (Translation: I was very s-scared. So much...) "P-Phir... Unhone... Hamein dhakka de diya..." She sobbed out again. (Translation: A-And then... She... pushed me...) "Hum kahan j-jayenge ji? Hamare paas to koi ghar nahi hai r-rehne ke liye." She mumbled in his neck. (Translation: Where will I g-go? I don't even have a home to live i-in.) The hall became deathly silent. The only sound left was her quiet crying. Ryker didn't move. Not im

The door of their room closed softly behind them. The noise. The accusations. The frightened whispers downstairs. Everything was shut outside that one wooden door. Only silence remained. A heavy aching silence. Ryker walked straight to the bed. He sat down carefully without disturbing the girl in his arms. The moment he settled Inaayat instinctively curled even closer. As if her body had made the decision before her mind. She tucked herself completely against him. Her forehead beneath his chin. One arm around his waist. The other gripped the front of his kurta so tightly that her tiny knuckles had turned white. She wasn't simply hugging him anymore. She was clinging to him. Like if she loosened her grip he would disappear too. Ryker looked down at her. For a man who couldn't tolerate any kind of physical contact who instinctively stepped away whenever anyone touched him this scene would've seemed impossible. Yet not once did he try to move her away. Not once did he tell her to s

He started caressing her hair with one hand and the other hand was secured around her waist. She was humming something to herself with her finger moving on the side of his chest. A smile automatically played on his lips at her innocent gesture. And soon her finger stopped moving as well as her humming and he understood that she slept already. The warmth disappeared from his eyes slowly and now he was focused on what happened with her in the haveli. He knew he was so close to his goal and the haveli people wouldn't be able to live peacefully from now on. On the other hand, she would also get to know some shocking truths about herself and he would leave the decision on her if she wants to stay with him anymore or not. Even though he wants her never to leave her but after knowing the whole truth he was sure she would be conflicted and it wasn't like the engagement thing happened with her consent. He had to do it to save and she just accepted it as her reality. He doesn't want that.
