A shill of pain shoot through her abdomen causing Bella to clutch her stomach. She hissed. Something is changing within her. She could feel it but unable to recognize what is it. Her body is reacting unusually and she turned her head left and right. Nurse hand halted in a sudden by comprehending her moves. She is gaining conscious!
''What?'' Michael eyes widen seeing her slowly opening her eyes. He ran a frustrated hand through his hairs. This is definitely he haven't expected. Quickly he commanded nurse to hurry up and drug her sleeping injection before she create any fuss. Taking the tape, he tied her hands and legs along with eyes so that she couldn't recognize him.
''Leave me!''
Bella shouted as she was unable to comprehend anything. Everything is blank in front of her. She began struggling by realizing someone is trying to force her. She could sense someone is aggressively manhandling her and trying to do something. Certainly, a male grip, may be it was Ben, she guessed. She was getting more angry and helpless by his actions. She racked her mind to think anything. She wanted to shout but words are not coming out she her mouth also tied. She never though he would go to such extent to hurt her. Tears rolled down her cheeks when she feel a pain coarse through her muscles. Nurse injected her and then everything is blurring. On the other hand, Ben was driving in high speed to reach his apartment. He don't know why but he feel a heavy burden within his heart. For the first time he was feeling so weak. He bang the steering annoyed noticing the long queue before his eyes.
''Bella..'' He swallowed hard and briefly closed his eyes. The distance was killing him while his heart was racing in super-fast speed. His patience gave away. His mind was numb and he was trapped in those memories of confession.
I LOVE YOU BEN..WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND LOVE YOU FOREVER..DO YOU LOVE ME THE WAY I DO?''
His eyes flew open and he stare at his ring..his engagement ring. He clenched his eyes but didn't remove his gaze.

''Don't do this to me..don't..''
Bella was still fighting and a victorious smile played on Michael lips seeing her state. she could hear a sheered laugh. She grabbed the sheet angrily, wanted to ripped his soul but unable to do anything or move as her both hands and legs were tied so tightly that she was unable to move an inch. Bella needed one thing that could give her some hope even if it was a small straw. She would happily hold it. But this is not any fairy tale story where any prince could rescue her. But the reality is that her own prince was her biggest enemy. This is the only thing was hurting her mostly. She had fallen in love with him. Where do she find him? Where is he? He is inevitable..he is nowhere! She is living a delusional world till now. But now everything came to light. She need to fight anyhow!
Her eyes slowly dropping. Seeing her helpless state, nurse unable to bear anyone torture this poor soul in such condition. She gave her anti-dose injection by which she could no longer remain affected by drug. Nurse untie one knot without letting opposite person to get a slight hint of it. Not directly but she could help her indirectly. Slowly and steadily, Bella felt tape began loosening from her legs but a black cloth still blocking her eyes. However, she could no longer see the person properly.
A sudden roaring rushed her. She feel like someone is begging and pleading her to save me..to save me. Her stomach was crumbling. She is going on! What was that! She was trying to surpass what is actually happening inside her but unable to comprehend. She was totally confused and upon that someone is making an effort to snatched something very precious and adorable from her. She need to stop them. What they trying to do. Suppressing her pain, she got up once the tape fully flew away . Something gave her energy to fight back.
''Say a last good bye to your illegitimate unborn, Bella!'' He muttered under his breathe giving an evil laugh when in a sudden she kick him. He turned around astonished and saw her swung on the feet while her hands and eyes were still tied. He was flabbergasted and eyed at nurse in disbelief who is nowhere to be seen as she ran away gathering the opportunity.
Anyhow he need to do something. He can't speak a word or make any noise otherwise her cunning brain could suspect him which is surely not good for him. Bella tried to remove cloth from her eyes when in a sudden he grabbed her hairs and pushed her against the bed. Her eyes clouded with tears as she feel a pain on her belly by his force. When it was impossible to handle her, he slapped her once again. A blood ooze out from the corner of mouth.
''Tujhe aur tere najayaz bachhe ko main itni bhayanak maut dunda ki tu agle saath janam tak mein raste ke kaanta nahi banegi..'' (You and your unborn will get the most cruel punishment that you will think twice before coming on my path for next seven birth..) He thought in determination and took the knife from fruits basket with his legs advanced toward her direction.
''Why you torturing me Ben, why?" She pounced at him while continuing her fidgeting, ignoring the pain on her abdomen. An evil grin played on his lips hearing her and she expect the reaction but he remain silent. She thinks its Benjamin who is trying to kill her baby? Not bad! He was totally oblivious she is unaware about her pregnancy. Taking a long predatory step toward her, he eyed her one last time to stabbed her knife but before he do anything, she kicked him on his gut making him rolled on the floor in pain.
''Damn you b***h'' He cursed her and pressed his mouth with his palm to stop his voice coming out. She is definitely pissing him out. Now he understood why Ben called her wild cat. She is a pure torture. He haven't come across a mad girl in his entire life. After loosing her everything for Benjamin, she still have big fat attitude to show.
''Dare to come close to me..'' She snarled with her head high. Now she is not that scared like before. She had learn how to protect herself from those evil monsters. He was trying to stood up on his feet but it is getting impossible as she kicked him really hard on his manhood. While Bella was trying hard to remove the robe from her hand and freed herself from this place. Finally she successfully managed to remove another tape from her hands by using his mouth and walked forward supporting the walls.
After Ben ditched her nothing affected her. She was like a solid wall that is impossible to broke apart. She fight and will fight till her last breathe but never let her enemy to win. She halted when a dead end coming in her direction. She realized he was again going to attack her. This is probably dead end for her but even that she is not scared. Her mind was working to find a way out but unfortunately it was too late. She closed her eyes tight as she didn't feel any more pain and then a strong arms hold her into his embrace.
Michael was about to raise the knife on her when he got the information about Benjamin arrival from guards. Without waiting anymore longer, he hide himself behind the window curtains and saw Ben step inside and running inside hearing her whimper.
Ben went motionless the moment his eyes fell on her. She was laying on the floor in helpless state and her condition is devastated.
''Are you okay?'' He instantly got down to untie her and scan his eyes to look around but couldn't figure out anyone.
''Who the hell did this?'' He clenched his fist to find his men as all of them were missing. The moment she carried her eyes, their eyes met. A harsh push landed on his chest and he stepped back by the force. She gave him murderous glare and immediately grabbed the knife from the floor to attack him.
''I will kill you, Davis.'' His frown brow seeing her new attitude.
''Babe, I am in no mood to fight..this is not a toy to play and besides this style won't suit you.' Her eyes were dark and there is so much pain that could kill him.
''You are bleeding. Let me aid you first.'' He moved forward and lifted his hand to hold her. She flinched and attack him on his shoulder. He anyhow managed to push her away but a small cut occur on his skin.
''Ouchh..'' He hitched.
''Are you mad?'' She smile bitterly and punched him on his wound to gave him more pain while he tried to stop her actions.
''Yeah, I am mad because you really underestimate my power, Mr. Davis." She scoffed and once again attack him but this time he gripped her and slammed her both hands underneath him. She had so many reasons to justify her action and right now nothing could calm her.
''Stop it!!!!!!'' He worn. She was swinging her legs in protest. He could see the hatred in her eyes. She hitched when he gripped her both hands to control her. His eyes immediately softened and he notices few bruises on her skin. He left her immediately. he need to found out who did this.
''You are the most horrible man I ever came across..You are trying to kill me..'' She was struggling to pull him off her body but he was laying on her and keep staring her wandering.
''Stop talking Foolish. I haven't done anything..i just came now..'' He defend himself.
''Liar..a big liar you are! I am not a fool to fell in your trap once again.'' She snapped back making him roll his eyes.
''Think whatever you want..I don't care..'' He got up and bring first aid box to apply on her wound but she immediately threw the box away and pushed him off.
''Stop your acting. You are the only man you gave me this pain and now pretending to sooth me as if you did nothing. I must say you are a great actor Mr. Davis, but unfortunately your so called acting won't affect me. I will never repeat the same mistake in trusting you."
For a second he didn't say anything but saw a glimpse of pain in her eyes. Dipping the cotton, he bring it near her lips and blow her before applying at the corner of her lips, avoiding her continuous struggling. He blow on her lips inching more closer and she swallowed hard not because of pain but due to their close proximity. Shrugging him off, she somehow stood on the ground but now her body began to shake. She sobs and cried for the cruelty of destiny.
''Don't cry.'' He told her and moved his hand to brush away her tears. She stepped back before he reached her or get any chance to touch her by his dirty hands.
''Hamare kareeb ane ki koshish bhi mat karna...hum tumse nafrat karte hain..nafrat.'' (Don't you try to near me..I hate you..I bloody hate you with all my heart) She roared showing him knife and he remained.
''Gosh I'm so scared.'' He gave a laugh teasing her and she raised her hand to punch on his face. But he was too fast, gripped her both hand behind her waist.
''Sweetheart- When you know your strength is nothing comparable against me, then why you pressurizing yourself and wasting your energy uselessly.'' She anyhow freed herself from his hold and open her mouth to shout but in a sudden pain shoot her.
Dread sank on the bottom of abdomen and she kneel down holding her belly. He went to hold her and careless her flat stomach to sooth her. For the first time their unborn got the warmth of his father and pain no longer torment inside her. It flew miles away. Within an instant, Bella pushed him in anger, pain and frustration.
''I can't stand you anymore. Just go to hell.'' She screamed and he closed his ears annoyingly. He had no regret or shame of doing all this.
''If I go there then I will make sure you will join me there and entertain me. By the way I love mad and wild women. You knew my taste, don't you?'' He winked at her. She eyed him raggedly hearing his shameful words. How could he be so disgusting. Her hatred reaching every pore of her body.
''Why you spoiled my life..answer me!'' She pushed him ruthlessly but this time he held her wrist and pinned her against the wall.
''You invited this so bear it now.'' She was struggling and pushing him but it doesn't affect him. He didn't bother about her brushes this time. While her yell wasn't coming to an end.
''Don't shout otherwise I will kiss you really hard.'' Her eyes widen in horror seeing his approach. By next moment he drank the blood from the corner of her lips making her close her eyes. The pain she felt on her lips already disappeared when he touched her lips. She stop moving and he hugged her to calm her anger that is raising by every passing second. Within a while, she began relaxing in his warmth.
''I loved it when you loose yourself for me. This shows how much I affect you, sweetheart..'' He whispered within her ears with a smirk. Her eyes literally widen. He was taking advantage of her so called love that probably exist in some corner of her heart.
''I hate you..I don't love you.'' She gave him cold stare and started kicking him, not letting him to touch her in anyway. She titled her head away when his hold breathe touch her skin. He keep gazing her with vivacious in his eyes. His every touch making her remember his unfaithful and betrayal. But suddenly she could feel warm breathe touching her lips. With a little effort she turned her head and saw him blowing air to reduce her pain. He feel a sudden urge to kiss her lips senselessly. He knew how does it taste but then he stopped. How much he hate to look into her eyes in such situation. He started to curse him for melting his stone heart for her. The feel of regret frustrating him and upon that her damn tears.
Her cheeks were drenched with tears. There is so much disapproval on his face and his eyes fixed upon her. He hate this girl! He keep reminding himself and clenched his fist as her tears causing him pain and when she avoid looking into his eyes, he raised her chin forcefully and their eyes interlocked momentarily in a blissful manner.
It was her fate to love her loathed enemy. Exhausted after fighting and struggling, she get tired. Her legs began weakening and by next moment she fell into his arms.
''Hell! What is happening! I can't harm her..I can't punish her for the first time I was unable to keep my words and this is only because of you, miss Gupta.'' He asked in frustration banging his legs and laid her on the bed. He turned to look away but something halted him to tore his gaze. He can't help but settled on top of her and stare her innocence more closely. A tear of trump that come out from her eyes began to prick him again. He sucked her droplets through his mouth before it fell down and torture him more. Spreading her duvet, he laid beside her with anger and rage. Right now he need relief and this is only place that could calm his nerves.
While, On the other hand, Michael who witness their encounter definitely not pleased to see how their love story was blooming and reducing the barriers of two biggest enemies.
