ch 15 - The Mafia peace

After that they had their lunch and Raghav left from there

Now Rudaraksh and aarohi were only in his cabin

Rudaraksh : Toh Kaisa lag hamara cabin

Aarohi : umm aacha hai!!

Rudaraksh: kyu sirf aacha hai!!

Aarohi:nahi bohot aacha hai!!

Rudraaksh:jaan,Aap Khush hai na!!

Aarohi: Haa bohot!!!

Rudraaksh: coming closer to her, He holds her wrist and pulls her towards himself.

Aarohi crashed on his hard chest ,ye aap Kya kar rahe hai

Rudaraksh,Apni biwi k saath romance

Aarohi: Rudar haam office mein hai

Rudraaksh: Dipped his head in the crook of aarohi neck inhaling her scent

And you know when you are around me or forget everything.

Aarohi blushes as her heart beat fasten

Suddenly there is a knock at the door

Aarohi immediately separates Rudar from her .

Rudaraksh: come in !

There was standing lait with a pale face

Rudaraksh understood something was off

Lalit: Good evening mam, Good evening sir

Aarohi Nooded and turned to Rudar and said, I am leaving

Rudraaksh : Hum Saath chalenge

aarohi: nahi aap der se aate ho,Aarushi and aarav Ghar aagaye honge

Rudraaksh Thik hai,aap ka hukum sarakho par Biwi!!

Aarohi blushes and takes her bag and Rudaraksh

Rudraaksh called shera and told him to drop Aarhohi safely home

As he himself went to drop aarohi to the car and said Lalit to wait even aarohi said that she can go by herself but Rudaraksh is Rudaraksh

Rudaraksh kissed her forehead and opened the car door and made her sit and stare at the until it's figure fades

Rudaraksh went to cabin and lait was already waiting for his Boss

Rudraaksh: what's the news ,Lalit you yourself is here

Lalit:: sir.... wohh

Rudaraksh with cold and stern voice: just say it

Lalit: Shivani is dead!!!!!

Rudaraksh: what!!!!!!

Lalit took a deep breath. "She's... dead, Sir. Shivani was killed."

Rudraksh froze for a moment, his knuckles whitening as he clenched his fists. His mind reeled with the implications. Shivani... dead? How would Aarohi bear this? She's already endured so much. His jaw tightened, but his voice remained controlled. "Who did it?"

Lalit's eyes darted nervously. "The Kapoors, her uncle and aunt. They orchestrated it. But..." He paused, hesitating.

Rudraksh leaned forward, his voice deadly soft. "But what, Lalit?"

"There's more to this, Sir. It doesn't sit right. The Sharma's may have carried out the act, but I believe someone else is pulling the strings. And..." Lalit's voice dropped to a whisper. "There's something else you need to know about Aarohi. She... she was adopted by her parents."

The room seemed to close in on Rudraksh as the weight of Lalit's words sank in. His mind spiraled in turmoil. Shivani's murder, Aarohi's unknown truth-how could he shield his wife from this storm? His love, his anchor. She had already endured the loss of her parents in childhood, a life of betrayal and hardship. This news would shatter her.

But fury burned beneath the surface. His voice, though cold and composed, carried a lethal edge. "The Sharma's bring them to the dungeon. I'll deal with them myself."

Lalit nodded, stepping out quickly to carry out the order.

Left alone, Rudraksh leaned back in his chair, his hands running through his hair. His thoughts were consumed by Aarohi. How will I tell her? How can I take away her pain when it's my love for her that fuels my own rage? His heart ached at the thought of her tears, her heartbreak.

But there was no time for weakness. For Aarohi's sake, for Shivani's justice, Rudraksh would find the truth. And whoever dared to destroy his wife's happiness would face the full wrath of Rudraksh-no matter who it was.

After 30 minutes

Rudaraksh's phone started ringing and it was Lalit,sir the Sharma's were in the dungeon but sir Sharma's daughter was Missing ( Tina).

After the call Rudaraksh grabbed his car keys and went to the dungeon.

The dungeon, evening

The cold damp air of the dungeon reeked of the blood and fear.Dim light flickering above, illuminating the stone walls stained with the remants of past punishment.Rudaraksh stormed in his steps echoing against the silence. his face was mask of fury,his mind a battlefield of betrayal and loss.

He opens the heavy iron door where the Sharma's were schakled to the walls,their faces pale and brusies. Lalit stood in the corner his arms crossed,observing silently.

Rudaraksh 's voice cut through the airline a blade

" Why did you kill shivani? "

Mr Sharma's ,his lips bleeding from earlier torture,raised his head, sneer curling his mouth." We didn't kill her! If I had wanted the sisters dead ,I would've done it years ago.All I wanted was the property,and for that they had to be alive until they both turned 23 AND married.

'Do you think I had risk"?

Rudaraksh 's eye narrowed,his fists tightened." And Shivani "?

Mr Sharma's laughed,mocking his words dripping with venom." Shivani was useless to me after the coma.The doctor said she ' d never wake up.I kept her alive to keep the appearance and to black mail aarohi.if she's dead ,it because of your digging!!! You poking into the things that got her killed.""

The room fell silent, for a moment,the tension suffocating. Rudaraksh ' s fury reached the peak,his restrain snapping with a roars,he lounged at mr.kapoo ,his fists crashing into the man's face repeatedly.Blood splattered across the cold floor as Kapoor granted in pain

Mrs Sharma's please leave us,we don't know anything,please

Rudaraksh: you are safe till now just bczz you are a woman and I don't raised my hands on women.,so be quiet

Mrs Sharma's gulped and remain silent.

R Kapoor coughed, spitting blood but reamaing silent.His wife whimpered in fear but said nothing.

Rudaraksh's sharp gaze fell on her,but it was Lalit who spoke.

Sir,their daughter is missing.

Rudaraksh found her ,she definitely knew something and found the master mind as soon as possible and kept them torturing them,"make sure they don't die but make sure every second feels like hell"

Lalit nodded stepping forward as Rudaraksh turned and walked to another cell.

Bivek's cell

The heavy door creaked open , revealing Bivek,tied to a chair,his body battered and brushied.His head hung low,his breath shallow.As Rudaraksh stepped in Bivek bloodshot eyes weakly opened.

"Kill me...." Bivek croaked,his voice,his voice barely audible.

Rudaraksh smirked coldly, stepping closer " As you wish.But it won't be easy ".

He picked up a steel rod from the table nearby,the metallic scrape echoing in the room . without hesitation, he swung at the sound of bone crunching mixing with Bivek's scream s .The deaugeon became symphony of agony as Rudaraksh unleashed his fury,each blow a punishment for every pIn Bivek cause to arrohi.

Minutes passed,and Bivek's body became still, lifeless. Rudaraksh dropped the rod blood splatter accords. His shirt,his face devoid of emotion.he turned to leave ,his voice clam yet commanding as he spoke to lalit outside.
