My Husband is a Mafia

Being The Gangster's Wife

Devika's Point Of View:

My head was hurting too badly. I slowly opened my eyes. The world in front of me seemed to spin as I realized that my hands were tied tightly to a wooden chair. The room was extremely dark and little light entered through the small window in the side.

I tried to look around but my head was aching too much to allow me to do that. I could not feel my body. Just then the door opened with a loud creak as a tall figure of a man walked in.

"Good morning.", He said in a deep and dangerous voice. His voice sent chills down my spine.

"Let go of me.", I tried to say but my voice seemed too weak.

He walked up to me as his face slowly became visible due to the feeble light. He had black eyes and long hair tied in a neat ponytail, he had the kind of features which could make any girl go weak in the knees but I could not think too much.

"Leave me.", I said slowly as he knelt in front of me. There was a certain cruel twinkle in his eyes.

"I will not, Ms. Devika Singhal.", He said in a low, dangerous whisper.

I could sense true fear.

"Please..", I said in pain as a tear trickled down my eye.

"I do not think that your tears and pain filled cries will do any good to your present situation. Nevertheless, it is time to leave. Stay hungry for a day or two and you will know how bad it is to see the Mafia King murder.", He said with a wicked grin and stood up. I looked at him with pleading eyes but he did not care. He just walked out of the door, without looking back.

I felt like crying but I knew there was nobody to notice my tears. I did not realize when I fell asleep.

I was woken up the next day by a glass of water on my face. I had lost my breath and was panting for it, but the man who stood in front of me did not care.

"Vinod sir, this is the girl. Now, tell me what should I do?", He asked another man who stood opposite to him.

"So, this is Devika Singhal?", He mused as the 'Mafia King' as he called himself continued,

"I think I must kill her. What say?", He asked as Vinod immediately said,.

"No. You will not do that Ranveer. It will bring in more danger for you.", He continued as my vision slowly cleared,

"You have been seen by many people in the marriage ceremony and the police is searching for you like wild dogs. At this moment, this girl can be your shield.", He said looking at me with a distinct look.

"How on earth can this fool be of any good to me?", Ranveer asked.

"Marry her, my boy, and tell everybody that both of you had gone to an island for a pre - honeymoon trip. Tell people that you had not known about all that had happened. This will keep you out of suspicion. By the way, this girl was known to the media and her disappearance has already become a hot news. ", he said as I immediately tried to revolt.

"I will not-"

"Shut your mouth!", Ranveer immediately shot back in anger as I was shut down.

"You need to marry publically, so that people genuinely think you are a couple. In any case, the son of a billionaire in love with an Event manager will become an immediate successful love story for the media to go around with.", He said as Ranveer agreed.

Vinod left after sometime as Ranveer looked at me. He knelt in front of me, his dark eyes full of hatred and loath.

"Get ready to be mine, wifey. In any case, I have not quite enjoyed with women for sometime. " He was holding my neck from behind as he pulled me towards himself and whispered,

"Get ready to be the Gangster's Wife.", I knew that very moment, that this was not going to be a fairytale as I had once believed life to be.
