Chapter 4

Warning!

Myra POV

I gathered all the courage, looked into his, almost threatening him"What do you want from me? why are doing this to me, what have I done to you,?" I started blabbering questions without taking a breath and on the verge of a breakdown, I cannot tolerate this anymore, all pretense and games.

His orbs grew darker, finding me and my little courage amusing and pathetic, he chuckles at my reactions.

 I took a deep breath, wanting to end this once and all"Please I want to resign I don't want to work here anymore"I made the direct statement, stating what I exactly wanted.

He chuckles "You want to resign, eh, do you think you have this in your control" he laughs at my misery, all my confidence is breaking in the pieces

"And talking about your other questions you must know why I am doing this", he replies with some madness in his voice, by saying this he started to come closer and alarming my senses,  I started to make move from his cabin, you cannot talk your way out here.

I was hastily pushed to the wall, "You dare move away one more time, you don't know what I am capable of, don't fucking test my patience MYRA", he yelled, anger radiating from my eyes.

What is with the sudden outburst, I couldn't think much, his fingers were digging in my skin, proximity ran shiver over my body, he wouldn't budge.

"Please let me go, you are hurting me", I whispered, I am angry at the moment, but I couldn't fight him.

 "Eyes on me", he said in his dead calm tone, I refuse to do that, I am not a puppet.

"Please let me go, I won't utter a word I don't want to work here please", I tried again, hearing this, he held my jaw in his hands forcing me to look at him.

 "What part of this you don't understand, you baby girl do not have any controlling power or say, Do what I say and you will be fine", this made me furious and I pushed him and screamed.

"I had enough for your shit, I will resign immediately, I don't wish to see your disgusted self anymore".

He laughed at this sentence and effort, I quickly ran towards the door which was locked, "Open the door, I wish to leave immediately, YOU BASTARD", I tried pulling the doors.

He pulled me hard and made me sit on the chair, "Watch your tongue, I am warning you, I need to show you what I am capable of, you need to understand your place", he spat each word venomously.

Suddenly he made me watch his laptop where there were videos of my family, my father in the garden, my mom in the kitchen, and my brother in his office.

Seeing this the ground beneath your feet slipped away I was stupefied, "why ..why are you recording my family?", I shuttered.

H smirked and said, " Oh sweetheart, this is not recording, your family has been watched, one wrong move of yours can cause harm to your family, I think you at least love your family".

All the patience drained out of me when I analyzed the situation and knowing my family being watched, I grabbed this vile man by his collar and spat on his face shouting "You dare to cause any harm to my family and I will kill you with my bare hands".

He kept staring at me with great amusement, shrugged my hands from his collars, "I see you don't understand, wait to watch yourself", he said fuming in anger, and turned my face towards his laptop.

What I saw next shook my existence, my dad, is walking on the road and a high-speed truck was chasing him and he has no idea, "Nooooooo" I yelped "Please stop, "I will do anything please I beg, Please Rudra". I am on my knees, nothing else mattered, not even my dignity at the moment, I want my family safe

"Stop", he commands to someone on the phone and the truck was not moving anymore, I sighed in relief and broke down crying on the floor the thought of losing my father left me shivering.

He reached to the floor, placing his fingers under my chin made me look at him, wiping my tears, looking in his eyes there was remorse for a slight second, he closed his eyes and sighed, "Do what I say and everything will be fine like I earlier said", he said casually, which only earned a tight slap from me.

"You devil why are doing this?", I screeched and slapped him again, I knew the retaliation would be grave.

He pulled my hair and slapped me hard, the intensity was so hard, the sound of the slap was reverberating in my ears, "You little bitch, you hit or disrespect me once again, the retaliation would be much more than this, I can still make that truck race, do you want that?," he barked while choking me, running out of breaths I nodded like a madwoman, his grip loosened and he started to caress my bruised cheeks with his knuckles.

"Breath", he said calmly, only to earn loud and continuous sobs from me, the abuse, pain, fear everything overpowering my senses, I am at his mercy, I knew that and he realized that I accepted this.

 He hushed me and kept caressing my cheek with one hand and his other hand running in my hair, it felt he was trying to calm me but he was the only reason for my misery, somehow my breathing became normal but the tears kept flowing, never ever in my life, I have been so helpless, I felt I was chained, lost and trapped.

I didn't have the courage to ask him again why is he doing this?

"Now get up", he said and again his body language was terrifying, his hands were in his pocket and standing there utmost power and dominance over me.

He once asked this time in a much calmer tone, "Stand up Myra", I quickly stood and my eyes were fixated on the ground, "Look at me Myra, now," I was so scared of the next move I simply looked at him with my teary and scared eyes.

"Will you be a good girl for me now?, baby," he asked me, I simply nodded.

 "Words Myra I need them", he said, not wanting to bear more consequences I said "Yes", 

"Better much better", Rudra whispered while caressing my back, I cringed at his touch but I was helpless and was standing like a mannequin, I cannot afford to anger him again.

"Now go to the washroom, there is a dress inside for you, get ready will go to a party together" and placed his hand ever so softly on my bruised cheeks, 

"I don't want to hurt you, Myra, don't make me, now go be ready in 20 mins I am waiting here" and this person is the complete opposite of Rudra.

But I am scared to my guts to think anything.

"Yes", I whispered and meekly went to the washroom.

Myra POV

I couldn't process anything, my brain had stopped processing what is actually happening to me, moreover, my body, mind, and soul are not ready to accept the situation I am in at the moment.

I blankly put the dress on, applied makeup to cover my bruised cheek, applied some liner and kohl to make my eyes look less puffy and red lipstick, so I look less dead and people around me have no suspicion.

I came out from the washroom, it felt like his eyes were fixated at the door the entire time, only waiting for me to come outside, I stand there like a child waiting for his next command, how is he controlling me in such a way?

He stood up and took long strides towards me, fear crept in my body thinking what he might do now, my heart was pounding so fast, he put his fingers on my chin and lifted my face.

He didn't look like the monster before, his eyes were calm and yearning for something.

  "Always so beautiful" he compliments with the expression in his eyes I could not read, deciding not to give him any reasons to make him angry, I softly replied, "Thank You".

**********

The ride towards the party venue was quiet I kept my gaze outside the car, avoiding him as much as possible, and luckily he didn't bother me in the whole ride, we were actually a little late for the party has already started everyone was drinking, dancing, and having their fun, while I am expecting something worst to happen.

"Hey Myra, where were you?", Shibani asked out loud,

 "Come come let's dance" she pulled me inside the crowd for which I was so thankful, I don't have to be around him for some while, 

I sighed and tried to calm myself, Abhimanyu swings me in his arms and started to dance with me I was so glad to see him.

 "You look so beautiful", he praised me so genuinely, I blush at the comment, for some moments I forget everything.

I had my arms around his neck while his arms were around my waist, we were dancing, talking, and obviously laughing as it is impossible to be with Abhimanyu and not laugh.

All my worries and misery were about to fade away at the moment I felt so relieved at this moment, I had laid my head on his shoulder trying to forget the traumatic happenings, hoping he would save me from the monster lurking in the open air.

However my happiness was short-lived when I saw a very furious Rudra coming towards me, that very moment Shibani came and started to dance with Abhimanyu, now I was standing alone waiting for him to strike at me.

 He calmly asked "May I have this dance with you?", seeing this many people around I couldn't say no and started to dance, he held me very tightly in his embrace and started to move, he kept staring at me quietly but angrily, he snapped his fingers in the air and the lights went off.

I was trying to get rid of myself from his embrace when he started pulling in some direction, shutting my mouth with his hand, and dragging me away from the crowd.

I started to tremble violently, hitting his chest in the process, pushing me inside like a rag doll, I tumbled and collapsed flat on my face and he closed the room with a thud, tears of helplessness started to flow, 

"What I have done now?" I mumbled in desperation.

He dragged me to the corner of the room and held my jaw tightly, "One more word from your mouth, I will do something you might regret", he spoke with so anger, 

"You stay here unless I come back, try to move or shout or call anyone, the consequences would be bad, don't you dare to defy me, DO YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND?", I felt like he raised his hands to hit me in response I drugged my head between my legs and started crying loudly, I have never feared someone this way, I am petrified.

"Look up and stop crying now", he said, weeping like a child I looked, what is wrong with him?

He again asked "Do you understand me, baby girl?",

 I nodded and said "Yes", he tapped my shoulder, I cringed at his words and touch, wanted to spat on his face but I couldn't.

 "Good girl" saying that he left, leaving me all alone.

**********

I cried and cried, evaluating what went wrong in these past days, what scares me the most the uncertainty which he is bringing in my life and living on edge one wrong move he might hurt my family as well, the thought makes me out of breath, taking deep breaths I pulled myself and called brother convening him we have a party and shall be late to reach home.

And I waited for my nightmare to come back and let me go, I don't know when I fell asleep, his loud step woke me up, I quickly fixed myself and requested, "Please let me go home" but no reply at all, what games he intends to play?

He was sitting on a chair with his leg crossed and looking at me with some vivid emotion, I stood and stubbornly said "I am going home", 

"One step outside of this room, one member of your family outside this world", he warned dangerously.

 I stood frozen there, he pointed to come where he was seated my legs involuntarily moved towards him and he stood up  "What were you doing with Abhimanyu?"

Stunned by his question, I asked "Excuse me, what do you mean? , which angered him he grabs my neck and pushed me towards the wall,

 "You are a fucking whore", he barked, 

"You love whoring around man, good I will treat you like a whore then", this is the second time he called me that, I couldn't contain my anger anymore I stomped my feet on his feet and tried to get away but he had very strong over me, he just left my throat only to backhand my face.

"I am warning you this if I see you with any other man, I will kill that person and I mean it, you understand,? he sounded mad

 "Why are you doing this, you can't control my life, I like him and I will be with him and you don't have any say in this? , I screamed in sheer frustration and anger, he is treating me like a rag doll, I refuse to be one.

"Wrong answer Myra", he shrugged his head,

 "I don't think you understand, now you will regret what you said"

I was baffled and I realized I should have not said this, "NO NO I am sorry please sorry please"

 I begged, he started to call someone, he said "Shoot", and I was on my knees, I don't know he is toying with me, but I couldn't cause any harm to my family 

"Noo please stop I will do anything, I won't talk to Abhimanyu or any guys please" I beg for his mercy holding his leg in-process and crying out loud, 

"Pleaseeeee I am begging", I never felt this humiliated ever.

"STOP" he commands, he made me stand up and started to wipe my tears, uncontrollable tremors passed through my body.

"Why can't you do what I say? Quit crying now, don't you love your family,eh? tell me"

"Please don't touch my family I will do anything", I whispered accepting my defeat and destiny

 "Kiss me", he commands

 I sobbed, "I can't please", 

"Eating your own words within a second only, this much for your family", he mockingly retorts.

I slowly move my lips towards his face and pecked his cheeks.

"You call this is a kiss!!", he huffed and said, he grabbed my neck from the back.

 And his lips smashed against mine as if he is trying to punish me by destroying my lips, he kept assaulting my lips for a minute, biting my lips in the process, I kept cried while he kept kissing.
