His Beloved

Devika's Point Of View:
It had been two days since the incident. I felt a little emphatic towards the gangster. He was not doing it by choice - he was cruel because he did not have a choice.
I was lying beside him when the sunlight entering the room woke me up. He slept in one corner of the large king - sized bed and I slept on the other corner.
"Good morning!", I wished him as he woke up rubbing his eyes.
"Morning.", He said with a yawn.
"You don't throw any tandrums while waking up in the morning?", I asked in amazement as he yawned again.
"No. I cannot do that. I have work to be done every morning. One of them being meeting all my gang members. ", He said getting off the bed.
"I can come?", I asked as he turned and raised a brow at me.
"You want to come to one of the most dangerous parts of the city? Are you out of your senses, Devika?", He said walking into the bathroom.
"Please..", I pleaded.
"Fine.", He shouted from the bathroom.
It was around nine in the morning when both of us walked out of the mansion, into his car. He had told me that even the driver he had was one of his men.
He was wearing a black overcoat over his white shirt.
"Why do you Gangster's always have this weird choice of outfits?", I said with a smile.
Ranveer Pratap Singh was not that bad a man. He was just badly mislead. He was vulnerable from inside but preferred a cold outer coat to hide it.
After all he had billionaire blood on his veins.
"To show that we are gangsters. It is cool you see. Being a gangster.", He said pulling out his pistol.
"Nice..", I said as I felt scared of his pistol. After all normal people like me were not much accustomed to seeing pistols here and there.
"Scared of it? You should not have with me then.", He said with a little smile.
"You can laugh, is it?", I asked as he raised a brow at me.
"I am a human being only, Devika. I am no robot.", He said keeping back his pistol.
Soon we reached his secret location. It was a large bungalow which looked like somebody's abandoned farmhouse. Who could have ever thought it was a secret location?
Ranveer's Point Of View:
I took her in. I was trusting her with one of my most well kept secrets. Why was I doing it? Because I felt that she was a good secret keeper and also the fact that she will not dare tell anything to anybody, owning to the fact that she knows my worst side.
We walked into the dark bungalow. It was large and looked empty.
"It is empty.", She said as I walked in along with her.
"Correct.", I replied with a smile.
She gave me a confused look as I took her in towards the secret chamber below the ground.
The secret passage was located just under the wooden flooring which had hollow ground below it.
I slowly lifted the wooden board as a small pit lay ahead of us.
I jumped into it and asked her to follow. She jumped in nearly on top of me as I held her in order to prevent her from falling.
"Ms. Singhal, this is serious criminal business. You cannot go around with your sectors on the ground.", I said as we walked down with the help of stairs which stood in front of us.
"God.. really.", She said as we walked down into a large tiled room.
As we walked down I noticed a beautiful woman stand in front of me. I recognized her instantly.
"You took so much time to come, Mr. Ranveer Pratap Singh.", She said irritably.
"But see I am here.", I said as she walked up to me.
She pulled me into a tight hug.
She soon noticed Devika.
"Oh hello! I am Aarti. Ranveer's girlfriend in better words.", She said as the smile of Devika's face faded away.
