His Ruthless Love

ABEERA’S POV

When I entered the guest house,I saw Ayaan bhai,Wahaaj and a few guards standing with more than 20 girls. Looking at the bruised girls,it was clear that they were going to be used for human trafficking or worse. The terrified looks on their faces were killing me.

‘I never knew Wahaaj was involved in something like human trafficking as well. How could i fall for monster like him?I felt like ripping my heart out for loving a man like him.

Ayaan bhai saw me and looked shocked. Wahaaj followed his gaze and started moving towards me.

“S-stop, don’t come near me” I sobbed. I didn’t even realise I was crying until a lone tear escaped my eye.

“Abeera..” he tried to explain,still moving in my direction.

“No.. I don’t want to hear anything. I just want to go home.” I said turning to run outside.

Before I could reach the door, Wahaaj caught me and turned me towards himself.

“Let me go… Don’t touch me” I said trying to free myself from his iron like grip.

Suddenly he threw me over his shoulder, like a sack of potatoes .” I will handle her” he said to Ayaan bhai and moved towards the main house.

I hit him on his back for him to leave me but he didn’t.

“ P-put me down” I said,still sobbing.

He put me down once we reached our room and locked the door.

“Abeera..” I moved to the door and tried opening it . He pushed me into the door and captured me in his arms.

“ You are a monster. I can’t live with you. I want to go back to my parents home. Your heart is blacker than the night and don’t touch me, you make me feel filthy.” I said pushing him away.

Suddenly I felt his lips on mine. I could tell that it was a punishing kiss, harsh and rough. I knew my lips were going to be bruised after it.

He broke the kiss, his eyes red.

“I make you feel filthy,right? Good because you are staying with this filth forever. And if you even think about leaving the house,then it won’t be long before your sister joins those girls” he said breathing heavily.

After that,he left, knowing I won’t be leaving now.

I sat on the bed thinking about how could I fall for a person who was blackmailing me to stay here.

I don’t know how sleep took over me but when I woke up, a blanket was draped over me.

After a while,Wahaaj’s mom entered the room.

“What happened sweetie? Wahaaj said that you weren’t feeling well.”

“Nothing mom, just a little headache.” I didn’t want to hurt her by telling the truth about her son.

At night, I went downstairs for dinner. Throughout the dinner Wahaaj didn’t say a word and neither did I.

After dinner, we retreated back to our room. I slept in the far corner of the bed not wanting him to touch me and neither did he reach for me.

I don’t know what my future holds for me. Right now i just want to numb the pain of loving the monster beside me.
