ArShi SS : The Mafia Princess |Chap 11/12/13/ |Pg 16| 05.08.2018 - Page 7

She tiled her head when I held her waist tightly against me. Her ragged breathing told me that she was very angry.

"How convenient of you to show your strength over a woman. Just like I thought you to be, arrogant chauvinist".

I held her hand and turned her to face me pinning her hands behind. She tried to knee me in between my legs despite of the painful grip of mine against her wrist. But with the other hand I blocked her. She is swift I have to give that to her.

"You have one hell of a mouth lady", the moment I told her that I sounded not the way I wanted it to sound. She glared at me angrily but watching her expression I could make up that she didn't get the inappropriate meaning for which I was thankful. Her blue eyes sparked. Despite of the ugly bruise on her face she still managed to look extremely beautiful now that I can view her from such close proximity.

"How about we have some rules here? We cannot touch each other except with the knife." She twisted in my grip.

I pressed on her wrist and pulled her against me further. Her chest jutted out and touched mine. She winced in pain. I knew I was holding her where bruises have formed in her wrist but why should I show any kind of mercy? She chose this. I never asked her. And I treat my opponent equally irrespective of their genders. I have killed lots of woman yes but never really fought like I am doing now.

"You want to play fair doll? Then let me tell you one thing. I don't play fair. I am not some hero who would show mercy on the heroine. I am the villain and never showed otherwise. But since you want to go with your skill then be it", I pushed her away from me letting her stumble.

She hit the wodden desk behind her but regained her composure almost immediately. Then she held the knife tightly and waited for me to attack her. But I chose to play defensive and let her take the lead. I was so enjoying this mere game. Her t-shirt stretched against her breast making me think about yesterday night when I had seen her in her lingerie. I wondered how does she look inside her inner garments.

Kero shifted uneasily when she tried to launch a stab on my arms. But I easy dodged her bending down and move behind her back. She twisted her hand and try to hit my abdomen missing by an inch I regretted her move because once again I caught her hand.

I laughed at her immature moves before releasing her wrist as promised. A call on my cellphone distracted me from the current situation and she took that opportunity to lunge a killer stab on my left arm. Out of my reflex I held her and lay her flat on the ground with force. My arms holding her neck as she struggled to breadth. The knife that she was holding, in one fluid motion wrenched it from her hand and was about to slid her throat when Kero came and held my hand.

"Easy ASR, she can't die now".

I could see her wither under me and realize she was almost about to choke. "I could f**king kill you right now for this", I showed her my bleeding hand. You talk about being fair? How was this fair KKG?"

"It was your fault Mr Cupo. I thought you knew that a momental distraction might cost you your life. I was nothing but fair. I regret that I missed your heart my four inches or you would have been dead by now".

She has the nerve to talk to me like this when right at this moment she is at my mercy.

I released her neck and closely clapped. "I have to give it to you Miss. Gupta. My bad I didn't take this little performance of yours seriously despite of Kero's warning".

Her eyes went towards my wound and she shifted.

"Is this your first winning blood? Or have ever killed someone?"

"I have never hurt an ant in my life let alone killing anymore".

"Congratulations then. You broke your virginity with ASR's blood then". I applied the blood on both of her cheeks making her squirm in displeasure.

"Gross", she closed her eyes tightly "And don't touch me".

I got up from her taking her along with me. She steadied herself on the ground and looked at me angrily. I know my white shirt is now soaked in blood. I peeled it off my body and poured some spirit on it. I would be need few stitches and right know I just stapled it for the time being.

Khushi

The moment I stabbed him I wished I could stab him in the heart then this blood mob would have been dead by now. With him even I would have been dead too because his men would have killed me instantly. But still I wish I could. But seeing his blood spreading on his white t shirt made me jittery and I wanted to throw up. I hate blood. I have seen many but seeing him bleed because of me I felt angry on myself. What is the difference between my brother or ASR and me then? Even I can became a murderer just like them.

He held me and with a force pinned me on the ground, his fingers digging my neck painfully. I knew I am going to die. He wont let me live but his soldier reminded him that he cannot kill me. He released me before saying "I have to give it to you Miss. Gupta. My bad I didn't take this little performance of yours seriously despite of Kero's warning".

My eyes automatically travelled towards his blood soaked shirt. Bustard! What have he thought, we were playing some kind of games?

"Is this your first winning blood? Or have ever killed someone?", he asked looking amused.

"I have never hurt an ant in my life let alone killing anymore", I honestly felt like a shit already.

"Congratulations then. You broke your virginity with ASR's blood then". And then he did what I never expected him to do he applied the blood on both of my cheeks making me squirm in displeasure.

"Gross", she closed her eyes tightly "And don't touch me".

He got up from me taking along with him. I steadied myself on the ground and looked at him angrily. The next thing he did was peeling if his bloody shirt off his body. Holy moly mother of whatever, despite of my hatred I couldn't stop staring at him.

He has a body to die for. His broad chest was dusted with sprinkles of golden hair. His broad muscular shoulders, his well formed muscular arms the sight of blood running down the length of his arm was quite a sight. His body screamed power in the most inappropriate way. His dominating stunts forcing me to think his level of dominance behind the close room. I wonder whether he shows any mercy to the women he beds and why the hell I am thinking that? His perfect V disappeared inside is Louis Vuitton belt.

I didn't realize that while I was checking him out Kero came and stood beside me. Even though his physic didn't attact me the way ASR's did but I must say even this guy is hot on his foot. Too much masculinity is suffocating me with my unruly hormones.

"Get her cleaned up Kero", he ordered.

"Are you out of your mind? You cant be serious. He is a man I cant suppository change in front of him".

"You have two option either he cleans you up or I will. And I am sure you don't want me to be there when you change?"

"I might as well be like this for the rest of my life before exposing my body in front of either of you".

Kero held my hand and starting dragging me out of the room. I resisted. He picked me out in his arms and I started kicking him. "How dare you touch me? Put me down now or I will..."

He didn't say a single word. I bit on his shoulder but even that didn't do anything. He took the stairs carrying me as if I weighed nothing. I hit him punched him but he was oblivious of everything I did. My eyes started burning and tears threaten to fall but I will not cry in front of him. I will fight I am strong enough for that. I will not let him touch me.

I dumped me on the bed. And went to the cupboard. I took that opportunity to run. Even thought my legs were giving up I ran down the stairs towards the exit of the house. But before I could reach the door I was collided with a wall. No it wasn't a wall it was ASR. He held both my shoulders and jerked me to look up.

"Really?"

"Please...", I cried, tears streaming down my cheeks.

"You badly need punishment Miss Gupta. I guess your father didn't do a good job by raising a girl like you".

"Please don't let Kero touch me", I pleaded.

"I will handle you myself then Miss Gupta".

"You can't force me ASR. This is wrong".

"I never portrayed myself to be a polite man KKG".

She tiled her head when I held her waist tightly against me. Her ragged breathing told me that she was very angry.

"How convenient of you to show your strength over a woman. Just like I thought you to be, arrogant chauvinist".

I held her hand and turned her to face me pinning her hands behind. She tried to knee me in between my legs despite of the painful grip of mine against her wrist. But with the other hand I blocked her. She is swift I have to give that to her.

"You can't force me ASR. This is wrong".

"I never portrayed myself to be a polite man KKG".

Khushi

ASR grabbed my head and pulled me along with him. I kept on begging him not to let Kero touch me. No matter how tough I showed them but below my though exterior I was a scared girl. I don't want any random guy to touch me. Not even ASR. My virginity was threatened now. What if he tries to force me?

We reached another room that was bigger then the first one. He pushed me in the bed and ordered Kero to come in the same room.

"Please ASR", I dragged myself in one corner of the bed. He was removing his cufflinks my eyes went wide watching him. Fear gripped my heart taking the life out of it. Because I knew if he tried he could easy force himself on me and guessing from where I am nobody would come to save me because no one would hear me screaming for help.

Kero entered the room with a packet and a box. My gaze was fixed on ASR who was now rolling his sleves. He took the packet and the box from Kero's hand and gestured him to stand behind. Kero without a word complied. He went and stood behind ASR crossing his muscular arms.

ASR threw the packet on the bed and placed the box along with it. He came around the bed towards me while I started shifting away from him. He was quick enough to grab my hand and pulled me up from the bed.

"Please ASR don't do this to me. I know what my brother did was wrong. He shouldn't have kidnapped your girl", the statement made him tighten his grip making me wince in pain as this fingers dug against my bruise.

Without a word he took me towards the dressing unit and made me sit. I didn't get a single thing that was happening. Kero came and handed over the box to him. But he didn't take it.

"You are more than capable of doing this Kero. I really don't have time for all these. But since this is important and I don't want her infected now you take it up and if she tries to run away again inject her a pacifier".

"No ASR".

"Shut up. I have heard a lot from you. Now you better comply what we ask you to do I played along with you in that silly knife fight of yours but don't mistake it with my inability. If I wanted I would have killed you for your little stunt. Be thankful to Kero who saved your life".

Scared was an understatement what I was feeling suddenly. He looked dangerous when he was angry that I noted. And I didn't want to infuriate him farther. The cut on his hand still bleed.

Kero opened the box to take out something. But I held ASR's gaze. He was furious. Then suddenly he left the room leaving Kero and me alone.

He took my hand and pulled up my sleeves. I tried to protect but he held my arms tightly. Then before I know anything my hand burned like hell. What the hell? What did he just apply?

I looked towards the area where I felt the burn and was shocked to see that I was bleeding. The white cotton was soaked in red. When did that happen? And why I was not aware of it.

It made my blood boil even further that they thought I am weak and aren't capable of taking care of my own wound. Being threatened evaporated like a puff and my feminist side slowly took control. I snatched the cotton from Kero's hand and held it against the wound. He raised his eyebrows.

If both of you think that I am not capable of treating my own wound you are wrong. I can do that very well.

He didn't say a single thing. Sometimes I wonder whether this guy talks at all or not. But since I heard him speaking to ASR I know he can talk and he is a deep voice compared to his age.

Then he handed me over a syringe with some liquid. I looked at him suspiciously. Understanding that he showed me the bottle from where he took the medicine. It was a painkiller.

"You expect me to push this in my skin all by myself?" I asked astonished.

"Since you said you can take care of your wound I suppose you can do that as well".

I removed the bloody cotton and threw it in the waste paper busket.

I took the syringe from his hand and bravely held it against my skin. But couldn't gather myself for pushing it further.

"You know what, I am feeling conscious because you are here".

I was startled when the door opened and ASR rushed inside the room. He looked even more furious that he was when he got out of the room. I wonder that happened now. Because if anything bad happened then he might take that out on me.

"Is she done?"

"Only the shot is left ASR".

"And why are you waiting?"

"She tells me that she can take care of herself and she took the syringe".

"Great. Go ahead then".

I prayed to god to give me strength. I was very bad with shots anyway. My sister had to hold my hand every time whenever our family doctor gave me a shot. Here there is no one and to top it all I have to inject that myself.

He must have felt that I was afraid. Without a single word he took the syringe from my hand and took some spirit and then rubbed it against my skin vigorously to make the place numb.

I closed my eyes in anticipation then felt little pinch when he injected the liquid. He is so much better than out family doctor. That didn't hurt at all. It felt like an ant bite.

"A woman who fights like a tigress is scared of shots".

I opened my eyes to see him watching me as if I am some kind of amusement. Will it really hurt if I admit that I am scared of it? Well he must have figured that out already.

He handed me some kind of lotion and asked me to apply on my swollen temple and bruised wrists. I didn't know why he bothered at all since he was the one who gave me those.

"I took some of your clothes from your house and its in that packet". He pointed towards the bed. Till the time you are here you are going to use this room. So you better adjust yourself. Apart from you there isn't any woman here so if you need anything personal you can either tell Kero or me.

"Why are you bothered about my wellbeing ASR? Am I not your hostage? Why are you showing mercy?"

He came near hovered over me. His height was too intimidating for me. Hell the whole man was intimidating.

"You could have kept me in your torture cell is all you care". My voice faded as he leaned down.

"I have plans to torture you differently princess. When I do that I want you to be fit and fine. I don't hunt already wounded animal. I let my prey run till I catch it and then feast on it. I am not some lion in the jungle. I am a bloody wolf and moreover you will remain untouched till my girl remain untouched by your brother. The moment tries otherwise, trust me you will far from being safe here".

I came out of her room because I couldn't stay there anymore or else I would have physically hurt her beyond repair. Her brother has once again f**ked my shipment making me incur a loss of almost 75 million dollars. The moment Akash informed me about it all I wanted to do was to go and kill that woman. But then I have to save Sheetal and if something happens to Gupta's sister he will kill Sheetal.

My phone beeped. It was Akash.

"ASR"

"Avinash wants to talk to you".

"Great. Put me on the line make sure he is unable to track me".

"I am putting you through the private line".

"Go ahead".

Avinash's voice vibrated through the phone, "You bloody..."

"Oh hello Mr Gupta", I crossed my legs leaning of the table.

"How dare you touch my sister", he was spitting fire. Bustard! What took you so long to call me if you were so much concerned for you sister? Well I know the answer you were busy f**king up with my consignment.

"Well she tastes really good and the little red head has a fiery nature and you know that I don't like docile woman anyway.

"You son of a..."

"Calm down.. Calm down. You sister is still untouched and pure. I didn't take her virginity. But if anything happens to Sheetal trust me I am going to f**k your sister and send you our little adventurous sex tape to you. It wont take much time to spread it in the media.

"You will do no such thing because then I am going to kill your precious princess".

"You dare not touch her either Gupta", I snarled.

"Oh I am so scared Raizada", he laughed an ugly laugh.

**

I looked at the phone. Did he just disconnect the phone without even wanting to talk to her sister? That's unnatural. He didn't even negotiate. Even that is odd.

"Kero"

"Yes boss"

"We can't stay here for all. Gupta's might be able to track us. We are going to head north and stay there until Avinash comes to negotiate. Try to get information about Sheetal. I want her safe. Tell your people to inform me if any harm is done to her".

"Done boss".

Khushi

They bloody locked me inside the room and that's pretty expected from them isn't it. I sighed and got back on bed. My hand ached terribly. Even my temple seems to swell like a duce ball. It was hard and a very angry violet blotch speeding like a lava.

Finding nothing to do started exploring the room who knows maybe I could find some kind of escape route. The room was dark and there was no window. They have placed me purposely in this room so that I don't try to escape from the window. Even if there was a window I would have never tried to go out of it since I am scared of heights. And more over I have no idea where I am. It does look like that the house is in a very remote area.

Coming back to the room, it was huge but not compared to the room ASR took me to. Probably it was his room. Still this room was of pretty good size. The bed where I sat was too comfortable for my liking because I felt like sleeping. I was just too exhausted from the whole kidnapping thing and the knife fight. That arrogant bas***d might have said that it was a silly fight but he knew that it wasn't really silly and that it could have taken his life.

I know I am pretty good at knife fight. I have learnt it from my brother's instructor. Not directly because girls were not allowed in the play area as they call it. But the rebel inside me wanted to learn despite of torture I had to endure from my father and a mocking smile from my brother. Obnoxious they are they hated that I showed interest in fights and men events. Never the less it never stopped me from sneaking out of my room and checking the play area every day.

Initially I started with a play knife, learning the moves myself. But later my sister joined me too. Payel is obedient and ever really had any guts to stand against my father's loathsome ways with his daughters. But deep down she was my sister after all. And she loved me more than my asshole brother. So at night when no one was awake we practiced under low lights so that no one can make out what's going on.

Her fear at night was an added advantage since we could keep out night lamps on as per my father's order.

Fighting with ASR proved to be different to be honest. He is the first person with whom I did the actual fight since the mock fights with my sister doesn't really count. And oh boy I thoroughly enjoyed.

The way he dodged and then turned to look at me with those assessing eyes. His dark gray eyes sparked with amusement with my every move. I know even he was impressed with my skills but didn't admit. And like that I suddenly want his appreciation. Maybe because the little girl inside me was still live.

The girl who always wanted to get attention from her father but never got any. There were so many instances I wanted to get noticed by him but all he did was ignore me. So I turned rebellious. Like that I definitely got importance but in a very negative way. Everyday he used to hit me with his belt to punish me, which was in a way good because now I am immune.

So now if ASR harms me physically anyway I will not bow my head and ask him to stop. I have never done that and I will never do that. And if he tries to touch me inappropriately then I will fight tooth and nail to save myself from their clutches.

Talk of the devil and he barges inside the room. He doesn't have a decency to knock before coming in. Oh it was his soldier not him.

"Boss has asked you to eat", he placed the food tray on the side table.

"What if I don't eat?" I challenged him looking directly in his eyes.

"Suit yourself. I am not your mama who would feed her grumpy daughter. You live or you die I don't care a f**k".

"Then go to hell".

He went and sat on the sofa and kept glaring at me. It was unnerving how he was watching me as if he is going to pounce on me if I tried to escape. And I am sure he wont thinks twice before he slits my throat.

After almost 30 mins my stomach made an embarrassing grumbling noise and I am sure even he must have heard it because he looked up from his cellphone when that unwanted sound escape from my body.

"I have never seen such a stubborn person like you Miss Gupta".

"How many women have you seen in your life?"

"Many", he answered curtly.

"And how many have you bedded?" I don't know from where did that come from. Yet I wanted to know about it. I am curious. I know people in the outfit bedded women quite often and they kept mistress but I want to know more. Since I wasn't allowed to talk to anybody when I at my house and my body guards never really spoke in a friendly manner I was even more curious to know about it. Blame my hormones. And moreover I don't have anything to do here and escaping is next to impossible I might as well get some information about these guys maybe it might become handy someday.

"I lost the count".

"Atrocious. Any girlfriends?" I asked with raised eyebrows.

"Never found any suitable candidate".

"hmm"

"You boss, how about him? How many girlfriend does he have except Sheetal?"

He gave me a deadly glare and returned to what he was doing.

The looked towards the food regretted not accepting in the first place, because I was very hungry.

"The food is not going to come walking towards you. If you are hungry you should eat", he said without looking at me. "I wont tell him about your little stunt".

"Care to share?" I asked as the matter of fact.

"You eat. I have already eaten".

"What if you guys have mixed something in it?"

"We are not going to kill you if you haven't figured it out yet".

"What if..." I took a long breath. "What if you people drug me and then you know...take advantage of me?"

"You are not my type". Arrogant bas***d but somehow I was glad.

He got up from the sofa and went towards the side table to get the tray on the bed where I was sitting.

He kept it on the bed then took small pieces from every food and ate. "Its clean. Now eat".

He was about to turn when I grabbed his hand. "Why don't you join me? I really hate eating alone".

"You are a hostage and we are not having any kind of what do you call it, girls sleepover. And I am here for your protection as well as keeping a watch on you".

"Oh come on don't be a douche. Eating with me will not kill you".

"You never give up do you?"

"I have never learnt to give up".

Arnav

It was 3am at night a cry that tore you soul woke me up. I rushed towards her room to check whether everything was okay or not.

It was dark when I entered her room. I switched on the light to find her sitting upright on the bed holding her face. Her posture looked kind of distressed and a sudden urge to check on her surprised me.

"Are you okay?"

"Go away", she howled in-between her sob. A nightmare must have woken her up and the proud woman she was she refused to show that in front of me. This woman is surprising me with her every step.

"Are you sure you are okay?"

She turned towards me giving me a view of her blood shot eyes mixed me disgust. Was she disgusted with me? I don't think so, I haven't given her any reason to think like that. "I have asked you to leave right now dad".

"Dad?"

"Go away before I kill you father".

What is wrong with her? Why is she calling dad? I took a step forward and he climbed out of the bed.

I took few more steps but she stood rooted giving me death glares.
"I am warning you for the last time".

What is the matter with her? She is clearly not in her senses. I covered the distance in no time and he lunged towards me colliding me with all her force. Oh man, she is some power. She looks petite but she has more power than any woman of her structure.

Her fist collided with my jaw with full punch that surprised me. The second one never came because I held her this time. If I wanted I could have broken her hand but this is not me with whom she is fighting. So I just held her against me to make her stop squirm.

She elbowed me on my rib and pushed her back so forcefully that we both fell on the bed. I tossed her and pinned her hands locking her legs with mine.

"Are you out of your mind Miss Gupta?"

"Get of me", she struggled not showing an ounce of fear. What has got inside her?

"Khushi stop it", I pinned her even more and glared.

Something shifted in her eyes. She blinked and kept on looking at me. Then tears started streaming down her cheeks and her body seems to surrender under mine.

I slowly released her wrist and got up from her. She was still lying on the bed lifeless. Then her eyes fluttered closed. After few minutes her breathing because even and I kept on watching her.

What happened few minutes back, is beyond my capability to crack but I understood one thing. This is something to do with her father.

I waited for few more minutes then exited the room trying not to make any noise.
