Adhrit's pov:

"Are you sure, Ishaan? If he really is going to go there as we planned, then it will be easy to take out information from him." I spoke getting eager to go to the venue now.

I am in a call with Ishaan right now, leaning against the car, waiting for Maya to come."Yes sir, I will email you the information which we have." Saying, he disconnected the call.

The place where our reception is going to take place is near the hotel where our prey is hiding currently. He has some important information about 'Black'.

Black is the main secret business company done by most of the influential and powerful people in the country. They are responsible for most of the corruption, big human trafficking systems, illegal organ selling systems and drugs.

The government is not able to do much about it because they are the important asset for their party. They take Black's support which is obviously not known to the country and those who try to raise their voice are shut forever, either by money or by death.

I am trying to find the people involved in Black and then ruin them. But for that I need information about them which is a little tough to find but not impossible. The person whom we are going to find was a driver who was caught in camera, trafficking some children.

Since then, he has been on a run and was hiding. Hiding from the police, hiding from me and hiding from Black, because if they find him, they will kill him. He knows a little about them.

The police are also trying to find him, Just to show the world that they are doing their job but they will eventually handover that man to Black.

I need to find him before them. I got an information from my spy that the police has got information about the man and they are going to raid that hotel today. I will help him escape and then trap him.

I am not the only person who want to take action, the people wants too. Their are some officers who are responsible and dutiful but they lack power which they can't get under a puppet government. I needed the power to do that which I got after choosing this way. The illegal one.

A sound of notification broke my thoughts and I took out my phone from the pocket of my pants. I read the email sent by Ishaan and started replying to it when clicking sound of heels filled my ears. I lifted my head and there she was, standing there in the outfit which I bought for her.

Her face is red. is she not well? She moved forward, towards me and my eyes went to her neck. The hickey which I gave her not too long ago is shining with pride on her fair skin. She looks enchanting with those hazel eyes, struggling to look at me now. Her full pink lips, which I want to decorate with mine.

No. I don't love her. Not at all. But I want to keep her with me. She thinks it was her who trapped me into this wedding but no, it was me who made her trap me in this. I am Ache. She doesn't know that yet, neither does she needs to know about it right now too.

Last week when I saw her ex's fiance's information file, I got to know that he was involved in illegal drug business which made his company grow rapidly in 2 years. His behaviour with women was also not something tolerable.

Maya is a smart lady, she handles her business very nicely too but people like Siddharth, they can easily hide their information which they don't want people to know.

On the wedding day, I had him kidnapped just 3 hours before the wedding to make Maya leave with no choice other than to marry me. I had expected her to blackmail me with something but didn't expected for her to use Shreshtha.

I was definitely angry. Anyone harming my sister deserves death. I could have saved my sister even without marrying Maya but that's not what I want. She believes she is strong enough to blackmail me. That's not happening sweetheart.

You used my sister in this. You will definitely get punished for that.

Opening the door of the passenger's side I signed her to sit. She nodded and got inside the car. Slamming the door shut I moved towards the driver's seat. I sat inside and ignited the engine. All ready to get that man today.

______________🖤

The banquet hall is decorated beautifully with small chandeliers all over the ceiling and a massive one in the centre made of glass and small lights. The hall is filled with people, everyone waiting for us to answer their questions. The media is also invited.

I am walking towards the hall through the main entrance with Maya on my side. Her hands holding my arms. She didn't utter a word in the car. Looks like what we did earlier, affected her a lot. A small smile appearing on my face as I remember her face when I played with her.

I love how I affect her. I will make her need me so much that when the time comes, and even if her mind will tell her to leave me, she wouldn't. Her body won't allow it. Her heart won't agree.

Stepping forward, I went to attend some guests and introduce Maya to them. Maya got busy talking to some of our guests. Just then, the anchor announced us to come on the stage for the toast.

I moved towards Maya, intertwined her hands in mine and went towards the stage. She is looking at me with confused expression. We went on the stage and a waiter came with 2 classes of wine for us.

We took the glasses in our hands and I spoke, "I gladly invite you all to our reception. You must have known the woman standing beside me, but let me introduce her once again. Meet my wife, Mrs. Maya Adhrit Singh."

I met her eyes after completing my words and found she was already looking at me. Her face flushed.

"But weren't you two rivals. You companies rivalry has been going on for generations now and you were in it too. So, how did you end up marrying eachother, sir." A reporter asked.

"The rivalry was between our companies, and we took it personally too but our love overpowered our rivalry." I replied with a smile. Lies. "So, let's raise a toast in our alliance and make our companies stronger." Raising the glass in air we all drank from it.

Stepping down from the stage, we started talking to our guests. Just then my phone vibrated in my pocket. Taking it out I checked for the message and found it's Ishaan's text, informing me that the man we were going to catch has escaped from the police as we planned.

He is now in one of the room which is behind the banquet hall. Taking my excuse from everyone and telling Maya that I will be back soon, I went out. Reaching near the room I called Ishaan and made sure that the security and cameras are in our control.

Getting inside, I found that man, bruised from the beatings he got by my men. He is kneeling on the ground with his hands tied at the back. He is breathing hard.

Noticing my presence, my men bow at me. I went near the man and one of men gave me his information file. Reading it i found that he changed his identity multiple times.

I asked his name to which he replied nothing, refusing to open up. I order my men to continue beating him and sit back at the couch. He cried after every hit but refused to expose anything.

I know how he will speak. I ask my men to keep him in my basement which is in my mansion. No one knows about it. The way to the mansion goes from my office and the other from the guard's quarters which is for my men. No one doubts us this way.

After giving everyone proper instructions I call Ishaan and ask him to gather every information about that man. The detailed one. He needs to be blackmailed, feared of losing something.

He will speak. I will make him.

I get back to the banquet hall and my eyes searching for Maya. I don't see her. My anxiety surged in and I look around again, to find her with a bunch of ladies. She is talking to them with a fake smile.

I stepped towards her, sensing my presence, she looks back at me and excuses herself. Reaching me, she speaks, "Can we go now. I don't wanna stay now. I am tired."

Nodding, I hold her hands in mine and move towards the exit. She isn't feeling good here now. I am holding her hands because she is not comfortable here now. It's clear in her face.

I moved to the parking lot and made her sit the passenger's seat. I sit in the driver's seat and start the car. She is looking out of the window, lost in her thoughts. I don't interrupt her, she needs time.

Suddenly with a loud thud and huge lightning, it started raining heavily. I lower the spead because it's not safe for her. If it would have been me, i would have increased the speed but I can't take risk with her. She is mine to break.

She faced me suddenly and spoke in a low voice, "Can you stop the car." I stop the car on the side and she got out of the car. Getting drenched and walking on the road with slow steps. She Stops in front of the car and leaned back, looking at the rain with no expression.

I quickly get out of the car and grab her by the elbow and spoke, "What are you doing. You are drenched. Let's go back."

She turns at me and her eyes filled with tears, the rain helping her in trying to hide her tears but my eyes can notice it. She then speaks in a very low voice, which didn't get missed by me, " Why did you have do to that, 2 years ago?
