Maya's pov:

His face is looking furious as he is dragging me towards our room. "Let go of me, Adhrit. You can't force me." I shout at him, trying to get out of his grip on my elbow.

He didn't reply to any of my questions and continued dragging me. We reached our room and he made me sit on the bed, my hands still tied at the back.

"It would be good for you Maya, if you stop bringing up that day again and again." He spoke while standing in front of me.

I glare at him while he stood there trying to make me understand his useless point. "And about forcing you, I already told you, I would never force you." He convinced me. "But, you can't slap me sweetheart. I already warned you, still you tried," he continued with a devilish smile on his face. "so as your punishment, you are not going out of this mansion for the next 24 hours."

He declared, as if he can order me around. "And you really think I would listen to you?" I asked in amusement.

He came closer to me, leaned in and whispered in my ears, "You will have to listen to me, little devil." His voice sending a shiver run down my spine. His hands moved at my back and he untied me.

Stepping back, he spoke again, " I am going out now, you can work from home but can't go out today." He turned around and went out of the room.

I get up from the bed, and got in the washroom. I really need a shower now. I turned on the tap, stand under the water.

I need something against him, he tried to kill my father. I need my revenge, I can't lose.

I come out of the washroom wearing a bathrobe when a notification come in my phone. I went near the bed and picked up the phone. Unlocking it, I opened the WhatsApp and found, It's Trisha.

She has texted me the number of her brother who was the officer incharge of Adhrit's case. Excellent. I will find something against him now.

I quickly dial the number and call her brother, Raman. He picked up the call after 5 rings.

Raman: Hello.

Me: Hello Raman Bhai. I am Maya, Trisha's friend. Sorry for calling you this late but it was urgent.

Raman: Oh! Hi. Trisha told me about you that you needed to talk about something.

Me: Yeah. It's about Adhrit Singh.

He turns blank and then replies after some time

Raman: I am coming early from Mumbai. I will reach after an hour. Do you wanna meet and talk.

Me: Okay. I will meet you in the morning then.

Sayings I hung up the call. Raman Bhai seemed serious. There must be something big about Adhrit's case. I need to know it.

I slipped into the covers and let the sleep engulf me so that I can be ready for tomorrow.

God!!! He just texted me saying that he is picking me up from Trisha's house.

Adhrit and I have been going on a lot of dates now. He says that he likes spending time with me and I- ahem ahem, think that I like him. He is very caring and what not.

I haven't started working yet, I told papa that I want to spend some time before starting my work here. Or rather I say, spend some time with Adhrit.

I told him that I am in Trisha's house right now and he said that he will pick me up. I will confess to him today, that I really like him. I don't think he would deny as well. Normally it's the guys' thing but I want to do it.

Bidding goodbye to Trisha, I got out of her apartment and went on the street, waiting for him. After a minute, he arrived in his black car . He comes out with a bouquet in his hands, wearing a beige coloured custom suit. Seems like he came here directly form the office.

He is looking handsome as always and his charming brown eyes looking beautiful as ever. Why do guys have such long lashes when we girls actually pay for them?!!

He smiled at me and gave me the flowers, and made me sit in the car. "Where are we going?" I ask him playfully.

"Where do you wanna go." He replied in the same tone. "Umm, an Ice cream parlor! " I replied with excitement. He smiled at me and started the car.

"So, how is your day going?"  He asked me, initiating a conversation. "Good. Yours?" I questioned him back.

" So far, good. I had 2 meetings and then got some time in between my schedule so here I am, driving to an ice cream parlor." He replied with a smile.

We talked some more before we reached the place. " I will get you the ice cream and you are supposed to wait for me."  I shouted and got out of the car.

I've ordered 2 cookies and cream ice cream. I payed the shopkeeper and started moving towards the car when my phone rang. I held the another ice cream in my left hand and picked up phone, It's a call from dad's secretary. Why is he calling?

I pick up the call and he spoke in hurry, " Maya ma'am, Sir had an accident. He is admitted to City hospital, please come fast."  I felt the ground slipping under my feet.

I quickly hung up the call and walked towards the car. I need to reach to the hospital early. I went near the car and found Adhrit standing near his car, leaning against it, where his back is facing me. I move towards him when I saw that he is talking on a phone call. There aren't many people here right now as it's a working day.

I moved forward when I heard him say, "Did he die?" I was astonished. It seemed something serious so I stayed quiet, waiting for him.

"Are you guys fucking dumb that you couldn't even kill a human. Go to the hospital where he is and kill that Arjun Aggarwal now."  He growled at whoever he was talking to and I felt my body trembling with utter shock and the ice cream fell from my hands.

"A-Adhrit" my voice came low but enough for him to hear. He turned back and disconnected the call. "Maya," he whispered while his eyes travelled to my face which looked shocked and hurt. He then noticed the ice cream which fell on the ground.

"You tried to kill my father?" I asked in trembling voice. His face looked shocked before he quickly masked it with a serious look.

My mind went numb and I felt my balance loosing, but before I could fall he quickly grabbed me by my waist to support me. I jerked him back and asked, " Why? Why did you do that? My father is such an innocent man."

My father has always been good to everyone. He spends a lot in NGOs and charities. He is known for his kindness among everyone. Then why would anyone try to kill him, especially Adhrit of all.

"I don't need to explain anything to you. Congrats that he didn't die. The luck is with him today." He stated bluntly. How shameless could one be. I trusted him. I liked him. And I could see that he was serious too but was it all a lie?

"Did you use me for t-this?" I shuttered at the last words and my face looked nothing but full of hurt. "Did you expect otherwise then?" He questions back me with amusement. I couldn't hold my tears now, so I turned back and took a lift from a car passing by. I need to go to the hospital fast.

I bite my lips, trying to control my tears from flowing. This is the worst betrayal ever that someone could get. Time passed as we reached the hospital. I ran towards the reception, asked about my father and they informed that papa is in the second floor.

I made my way towards that area and found my mother crying, while waiting out of a ward. My father's secretary is also standing there. I run towards them and ask them about papa.

They said that the operation went successful but he would be kept on observation for the next 2 days. I went inside the ward and looked at him, his body looking lifeless as number of pipes are poking his skin. A lot of of bandages covering him, and I couldn't hold back anymore. I cried as I fell on my knees. I cried for I don't know how much time when I made my mind that I will destroy him, the one who did this to my father.

I wiped my tears and dash out of the room. I called the police to inform him about Adhrit and start investing him.

I will come as your death, Adhrit Singh.
