"You still haven't told me what he asked of you in return for taking you here, " asked Vikram when everyone left the room.
"He didn't ask me anything, " I told Vikram and made painful expressions.
"It's difficult to believe in your words, " said Vikram and I smiled. "His Dad ordered him to take me here, like every kid he is also scared of his Dad, " I said to Vikram and he started looking at me with stunned expressions.
"But I heard that his Dad died a long time ago..., " said Vikram and I stopped smiling.
"I can't say anything about this matter, you know that Dracula keeps his life so private. You know no strangers are allowed inside his mansion except his close friends, " I said to Vikram
"Are you happy there?" Asked Vikram and pain appeared on my face. " he pinned my feathers Vikram, I am suffocating in that Rhodium cage every day. I wish I could explain to you in words how I felt there, " I mumbled but I know Vikram heard what I said.
"He was behaving like a wounded animal when you were inside the operation theater, " said Vikram and his words shook my whole world.
"What........?" That's the only word that escaped from my mouth after hearing about Hercules, but suddenly Hercules's promise appeared in my mind which he had done with my mother to keep me safe.
I opened my mouth to tell Vikram about Hercules's promise but Vikram cut me off before I say Anything to him.
"You lost so much blood, we all tried to find blood for you but due to bad weather, everything was blocked. It's Hercules who saved your life, he is the one who gave you his blood," said Vikram, and his every word fall on me like a nuclear bomb.
I am stunned, it's difficult for me to digest this news. Hercules, I mean the Hercules Knight gave me blood to save my life.
"I... I think... I think he... Loves you..." Said Vikram in a very cautious tone,
I start laughing so hard after hearing Vikram's words. It's difficult for me to laugh in this situation because my muscles are stretching but I can't hold my emotions.
"What... What did you just say..., " I asked Vikram once again. Tom walked into the room and I stopped laughing.
" what is going on...?" Asked Tom while looking at me then he turned his gaze at Vikram.
" you tell me what is going on and where is Rana, " I asked Tom, and pin-drop silence clouded in the room.
"I don't know what are you talking about...?" Said Tom but I am 100% sure, Tom knew where is Rana so I keep staring at him with a suspicious gaze.
"Tom, don't lie to me, two days ago Rana held the collar of your boss and I saw how Hercules was staring at Rana, " I told Tom
"Why don't you ask this question to Boss, I guess he can answer all your questions, " said Tom and sit on my bed.
" you were laughing when I walked into the room? " asked Tom, he wants to know the reason for my laugh.
"Vikram cracked the joke... " I replied to Tom but Tom passed me question looks.
" but he is gawking at you like you stole his kidneys and sold them for iPhone, " said Tom in a very friendly tone, he is trying to make me feel comfortable around him but why?
Oh! Silly me...
I forget I saved the life of his boss but Hercules returned my favor by giving me his blood. Now Tom doesn't need to behave well like a good guy with me.
"He is peering at me because he thinks your boss likes me, sorry! There is a correction. Vikram thinks that your Dracula boss loves me, " I said to Tom and he made an uneasy face.
"Can you notice his pale expressions Vikram, did you see how all the colors faded from Tom's face, " I asked Vikram and Vikram looked at Tom.
"Dracula is playing stupid games with me. (Vikram made frowned expressions) Dracula wants to use me for his private benefits and I am not ready to become his puppet that's why he is playing this care and love game with me, " I explained to Vikram with a hard expression.
Suddenly, Hercules's fragrance filled in my nostril, and I fisted the bedsheet tightly. I slowly and very gently turned my gaze towards the entry door and found Hercules stand on the door in his signature dominating and Arrogant glory.
Hercules slowly strolls towards me and Tom instantly got up from my bed. I moved my gaze away from Hercules because he always gave me an uneasy feeling.
I felt Hercules's soft fingers on my cheek and I shut my eyes very tightly. f**k! What the heck Hercules is trying to do... Why can't he just leave me alone?
"If I had to use you for my benefits, I would have done it a long time ago. You know it's not difficult for me to make you ready for anything because I am aware of your all weaknesses, " said Hercules and I opened my eyes to look at him.
Hercules touched my lips and look at me with unknown emotions, there is so much darkness in his eyes and I am feeling so scared while looking into his eyes.
"Where... Where is Rana? What you had done with him....?" I asked Hercules in a trembling tone but he didn't give me any reply instead I noticed how darkness clouded on the face of Hercules.
"Tomorrow we'll leave from here, I already called your mom and informed her about your sudden visit to India, " said Hercules
"Please leave him, I know you were angry with him because he held your collar but he was just doing his duty, " I begged Hercules for the life of Rana
"You abducted Rana, " asked Vikram to Hercules but Hercules's cold gaze is fixed on my tear-filled eyes.
Hercules wiped my tears with his thumb, "Your tears are very precious for me darling, don't waste your tears for someone, " said Hercules to him in a dark tone but I pushed his hand.
"Rana has a little daughter and a blind wife, if anything happened to him who will take care of his family. Please Mr. Knight, please leave Rana, " I said Hercules but that Dracula's gaze is fixed on his hand which I pushed away from me.
"Mr..... Knight..." I once again called Hercules but the moment he turned his gaze back to me, my whole body becomes cold due to tension and fear.
"What I'll get in return if I leave Rana, " asked Hercules in a very bitter Tone, his mind is clouded with anger, and madness is swimming in his red eyes.
"I have zero enemies because those who dared to raise their fingers on me, I cut their hands. Those who raised their eyes at me, I slit their necks. Give me one reason to leave that bastard who dared to hold my collar, " said Hercules and his words filled more terror inside me.
"I don't know why you saved the life of this devil, they deserve to rot in hell Neha. You should let those snipers kill this cruel bastard, " said Vikram in rage.
"He has a family, Mr. Knight, " I said to Hercules once again but this time in a muffled tone.
"For his life, you have to pay the price, Are you ready to pay the price of Rana's life, "Hercules asked and the images of Rana and his family appeared in my mind.
I already went through hell, now nothing worse can happen to me. So without any second thought, I nodded my head.
" leave him and I'll do anything whatever you said to me..., " I said to Hercules and I saw stunned expressions on his face.
"Neha, you don't need to follow his orders, my team will rescue Rana very soon, " Vikram yelled at me
I want to yell at Vikram and tell him that, his team can never find Rana until Hercules wants it but I controlled my emotions.
"Tell me what I have to do..., " I asked Hercules once again and he raised his brow at me. "Are you sure you are ready to do anything for Rana's bail, " asked Hercules and put his palm on my back in a very s****l manner.
Disgust......
Hate.......
Anger......
Helplessness...
And pain all the emotions appeared on my face. I painfully closed my eyes and tears rolled off of my eyes.
I nodded my head after gathering all the courage. Hercules started making circles on my back and my toes and fingers curled up in anger.
I don't know what he'll ask me but his silence and his actions on my body are scaring me so f*****g bad. I so badly want to yell at Hercules and tell him to stop touching me but I held the rein of my anger.
.............................................................
Tell me your views on what Hercules will ask her in return?
