ANAAYA'S POV

I am the airport entrance in an attempt to leave my hometown forever.. I also know, that if I leave he will not hesitate to kill my parents... I still remember afew hours ago, how he turned my whole house into a pool of blood.

He is a very ruthless man. If I call him merciless, it wont be wrong.

He not only does not hesitate from killing people but also animals... He killed his own pet dog just because the dog bit me in self-defense.

He shot a policeman just because I grabbed onto his hands to ask for help.

He doesn't want me to touch anyone but him. It's like Im his possession.

He doesn't even hesitate to shoot on disabled people.

A few hours ago, He barged inside my house so he could see me. My father asked me to hide in the basement..

And when he couldn't find me, he shot bullets on my dad's leg. He even shot on my fully paralysed mom.

My mom, She cannot even talk.

Her body beneath her chin is completely paralyzed.

She lost her voice and became severely paralyzed in a car accident seven years ago.

He wants to watch me scared and succeeded a few hours ago when he turned my house into a pool of blood.

My arm is injured with the bullet wound as I was trying to block out the bullet for my mom.

Just when he left my father convinced me to run away from the next flight to god knows where so, Ivaan wont be able to find me.

"Run away Anaaya! You dont have to worry for us.. Your mother got paralysed like this only for saving you. Your grandfather died only because he wanted tosave you... This family has sacrificed everything to keep you safe, and being your father it is my duty to save you. Run away! Go to the airport immediately andbook yourself any flight there... Just go fly out of continents so he wont get you! Dont try to contact us as he may track you down . Be safe Anaaya, you arebeing watched. One wrong move and everything will be ruined!"

My mind was filled with what dad has told me to do. Ivaan Singh Rajput... He is a dangerous man and I definitely dont want anything to do with him at all. Iam just scared about the things he would do to my family for this.. But dad forced me to run away.

Just when I stepped forwards to enter inside the gate I felt an arm holding a handkerchief wrap around my mouth. The man appeared to be strong built...And I heard his stern voice, his head in the crook of my head.

"I could have sent my men to do this... But I dont want anyone else to touch you..." His breathing were fanning my ears as he said huskily. "Found you littlekitty!"

And before I could struggle to get out of his grip, I was long slipped into the darkness.

IVAAN'S POV

I am more than enraged right now... I am infuriated at her! How did she even dared to try escape me? And her stupid father? I know, it must be his idea... Ijust know that old man! Does he really think that he could hide away what's mine??

These people need to be taught a lesson. I thought a little scaring her would be enough but no! They do not understand the easy language and now, I'llhave to try the tough one with her.

How did I know she attempted an escape? Well, that's simple! I had my men planted around her house.. I'll soon install a tracker in her phone or maybe amicrophone too but for now, I have my men guarding around her house watching her every move.

When I left, after injuring her parents in order to scare her a little I know an Ambulance was called.

My men heard the conversations between her and her father. And so, I know where and how she was planning an escape.

I spotted her at the airport gate. She seemed as if wondering if she should really go or not. I could See her hesitation that she felt about leaving herHomeTown.. but not so easily, Anaaya.. You cannot go away so easily.

I sprayed some chloroform on my handkerchief and clamped my hands around her mouth, she fainted soon in my arms..

It was very easy for me to lift off her small body from the ground as I dumped her on the backseat of my car. I sat beside her and ordered my driver to move.

I watched her beautiful face as she was unconsciously sleeping right now. I removed some of her hairs falling on her face as they were just bothering herand blocking my way to stare at her face and preventing me from taking in every single details of her face.

Yes, she is beautiful.. I don't mind all this chasing games and exercise she is making me go through because, when you look at her.. she deserves everyf*cking attention of mine.

Soon we reached my private "Jail". Jail, because this is where I torture people and Kill them.. those who do not listen to me. I had no intentions to bringAnaaya here with me but she would just not stop running around and disobeying me.

Now, I'll send her and her family a final message of who is the Incharge of everything that's mine... And, Anaaya, is one of those things, which is mine.

I opened the car door and scooped my little kitty up into my arms. Her head rested on my chest. I could feel her heart beat while her body connected withmine and her warm breath on my chest fanning it.

At this moment on, I wanted to take her straight into my bedroom, get rid of both our clothes and F*ck her untill she forgets to stand... But, no! I'll controlmyself. For now, what she actually needs is some discipline.. A strong message that her life is owned by me.. "Ivaan Singh Rajput".

At first I thought Ill just take her to the basement and tie her on the chair there and wait till she wakes up... But, then something melted in my heart. This isthe first time a woman has the power to do that to me and so I changed my mind and took her upstairs into my room and made her to lie down on my soft andcomfortable matress.

I sat there taking up a chair and studied her sleeping face. Her small body lied comfortably wrapped inside my blanket. I had a strong urge to get rid of myshirt and slip inside the blanket next to her wrapping my arms around her strongly and cuddle she like that forgetting day and night with her inside my embrace,but, no!

When a kid makes mistakes, you need to punish them, before showering your love.. Ill shower my love on her, soaking her from head to toe in my love but,before that I need to fix her rebellious attitude.

I have planned some good punishment for her.. After what I do with her, she would not even dare to dream of trying to escape from my hold.

An hour passed and I knew it was now time for her to wake up. She flinched a little and then opened her beautiful hazel eyes to look around the room.

ANAAYA'S POV.

I was startled at where I was. My head hurt really bad. I blinked a few time to adjust my pupils with the light in the room and turned my head to my side tocatch Ivaan staring at me. His facial expressions were like that of a demon and I immediately knew I had landed myself in hell.

He leaned in closed to my face, I flinched and supporting my body on both of my elbows moved backwards.

"I thought I was able to scare you... But guess I'll have to work harder than that!" He said.

I was already scared enough from what he did to my parents last time.. I dont want trouble anymore.

He extended his fingers towards me and I curled myself a inwards hugging myself in, I dont want him near me.. His aura right now was sending shiversdown my spine.

His fingers reached on my bare shoulders, I was wearing a camisole, and from my shoulder he slowly trailed his knuckles down my arms to my hands. Hetook my hand in his and raising it upto his mouth he planted a kiss at the back of my palm and looked at me. That look was the scariest look anyone could evennightmare of.

"You need to learn your first lesson now, so you wont dare to pull up that stunt ever again." He said and pulled me towards him.

I gasped in horror as my head bumped into his chest. My hands automatically rested on his chest and I looked up to meet his eyes, He looked down at meand chuckled, "You dont know what you're doing to me baby!" he said.

I swallowed hard while he smirked and picked me up in his arms. I was literally too afraid to put up a fight and I just remained in his arms while he walkeddown towards I am hoping his basement.

I had planned to obey him silently because I didn't want anymore trouble but as soon as he approached into the basement I jumped out of his hold and headto my mom.

"MOOOMM?! DAAAD?! Oh My God!!" I couldnt help but cry. My mother's both hands were tied together in a knot from one end of the rope and the secondend of the rope was tied around my dad's hand. Both of them were blindfolded suspended from a hook in the ceiling and their mouths were stuffed with clothespreventing their voices.

There was a sharp edged saw lying on the floor and the set up was made as, if you cut the rope both the people hanging would fall on the sharp saw andtheir heads would be beheaded.

I couldn't approach to touch them as the saw was stopping me from doing so.

I couldn't help but cry. My mother was paralysed down her chin... She couldn't even speak.. She could barely live like this.. Her breathing became quick andI knew she was having her asthma attack again.

I heard Ivaan chuckle. How could he manage a chuckle after doing something this monstrous?

"Surprise Anaaya! What happened? Shocked?" Ivaan walked towards me and touched my cheek with his knuckles I stepped away at his touch.

"This, is your lesson number one, Do not even THINK about running from me!" He said completing walking a circle around where I was standing.

"Iv-Ivaan, I beg you! Please let my parents go! Do whatever you want to do with me, please dont touch them." I said crying for his mercy, I cannot even thinkof any other way.

"I like the idea of you, begging me... Okay, get down on your knees and beg me!" He said his expressions rigid.

I cannot believe him. So, this is how he wants to keep me? He is going to keep me with him in fear?

"I dont have the whole day Anaaya come on! Look at this knife... Its aching to cut a rope.. Time is running Anaaya, tick tock!" He said running his fingers onthe sharpness of the knife.

My mom's breathing started to break, I couldn't watch her like that. And so, I got down on my knees before him. I folded my palms together and prayed him,

"Ivaan, please.. L-let go of my mother.. Sh-she is having asthma attack, she will die like this!" I said my tears now burnt my cheeks.

He kept his knife below my chin and tilted my head upwards for my eyes to meet his.

"Ill let them go, first, you answer these questions.." He said in his stern voice and few drops rolled down my cheeks again.

"Are you going to run away again?" He asked.

"No!" I immediately replied. I dont want to waste a single second now

"Who do you belong to from now on?" He asked again.

"You" I said immediately

"Say that you love me!" He demanded.

I looked up at him.. I cant say that.. I dont love him, I cannot say it.

Ivaan took out a gun from his pocket and pointed at the rope where my parents were tied.

"Say that you love me! Say it!!" He demanded.

But I just couldn't utter a words, I was not saying "I love you" to this monster.

He shot a bullet towards the rope and I flinched immediately to look at the direction.

He was doing it on purpose, it was a warning bullet for me.. To say those three words to him.

"Say that you love me Anaaya, I wont miss the bullet next time." He said again."SAY THAT YOU LOVE ME!!"

He clicked unlock his gun and his fingers on the trigger I know he wont miss his shot this time. And so I closed my eyes clenched my teeth and just said it asloud and clear as I could.

"I LOVE YOU IVAAN!"

I love my parents more than anything else in this world, I cannot let anything happen to them, not at all!

IVAAN'S POV.

The first time she said 'I love you' to me. Wish I had a microphone installed inside my head so I would play back those beautiful three words she said to meagain and again.

I have heard these three words, "I Love You" are the most fascinating words in this world, and now I even know this for a fact after experiencing them.

I was in my own daze playing back again and again her words, when my fantasy land was interrupted by her beautiful voice.

"I did whatever you asked me to... Please let go of my parents!" She cried.

I don't like herself to watch her crying, its breaking my heart but this feeling is exciting.. This feeling of watching her on her knees before me, submitting tome on her own, the feeling of having all my control over her, I could literally do anything to her in this exact moment.

"You did a nice job Anaaya but you really broke my heart running away like that! I shot bullets on your beloved parents, and you were not even afraid if Iwould kill them behind you? You just grabbed your passport and ran away?" I said.

I meant every word I said. How dare she? Nobody has the guts to not follow my words not even animals! And she...?

If it was anyone else, I would have skinned him alive but it was Anaaya, my dear Anaaya.. So, of course I cannot hurt her, but I have to do something..Something so she would not ever leave me!

"Im not letting this go so easily Anaaya, but you really made me happy by confessing your love to me! So, Ill let you choose!" I loaded my gun and askedher, her choice.

"Your Mom Or Dad?"

ANAAYA'S POV.

I was shocked at his statement.

"I was planning to kill both of your parents since you dared to do what you did but your way of confessing your love to me, really touched my heart, so,Choose now, which one you want to watch dying... Or, maybe, which one do you want to save? Your mother... Or your father?" He asked me with his monstrousgrin.

"Iv-Ivaan... You, you wont do that right?" I asked him swallowing hard.

"I dont want to... trust me Anaaya, but you honestly leave me with no option.. So, now you tell me! Mom? Or Dad?" He asked.

"Pl-please, Ivaan dont do this, anything but not this. Ill do whatever you ask me to do! Ill be your pet, you want.. want to marry me, Ill marry you! Ill doeverything you ask me to do but please!" I begged him folding my hands together on my knees, "Dont do this! Please!" I cried as I even hugged his feet.

"You are just wasting my time Anaaya, and by the way, You would still marry me only.. So, there is no point in discussing that. Now, you have only tenseconds.. I have to head to a meeting after this so choose Mom? Or Dad?" He asked.

"Iv-Ivaan.. Pl-please!" I tried again.

"Ten seconds Anaaya, okay now eight.. Well if I was you I would choose the life of your dad.. I mean, look at the condition of your mom! She is barely evenliving!" He said.

"Ivaan please! Dont..." I started but he cut me off again.

"Five seconds more princess... Four!" He said as he clicked his gun and pointed to the direction.

"Ivaan please, Ill lick your shoes if you just stop!" I said crying.

"Three."

"No, please!"

"Two"

"Ivaan.."

"One"

And after that I dont know how and why I just said one thing..

"I AM SORRY MOM!!"

I closed my eyes tight and heard the sound of exact four bullets.

I opened my eyes when the sound faded and I saw my mom, suspended down the hook, DEAD.

ANAAYA'S POV

I felt like I could not move, I felt like I could not breath.

Ivaan inched up to my face and whispered slowly in my ears, "Look what you did little kitty, you killed your mom!"

Hearing his words tears rolled down my eyes one after another and I slouched down to the ground.

Ivaan turned to his men and ordered them in his stern voice, "Untie the old man and bury the dead old woman!"

I didnt say anything.. His words were making me believe that I killed my mother.. I killed her! She was paralysed because of me and I chose her to die.. But Icouldn't have chosen my father to die.. I should have killed myself instead.. If I should have just done that, maybe, it would all have just gone away.. But whatnow?

Ivaan grabbed me up from my arm and lifted me off the ground in his arms. I was too shocked to react.

He whispered again, "I am glad you chose wisely, I would have been so disappointed in you if you would have chosen your mom over your dad! I am happythat you could still make out which one of your parents are better for you. "

Which one of my parents? I know by killing mom I have already half killed my dad too. He loved my mom more than his own life! And, by that I knowbecause even in this paralysed state of her he understand everything she wanted to say, everything she needed.. And he would always be near her and noteven think of getting remarried.

Ivaan took me inside his bedroom and made me lie down in his bed. What now? He will rape me? Well, do anything you want. I dont care anymore unlessits with me.

"If you still want a mother, I can look for a woman for your father to remarry!" He said.

I looked at him in surprise. Seriously? He thinks that any woman could replace my mother in my dad's and my life? If he thinks like that... Why doesn't he killme and replace me with some other woman who wants him just as as much as he wants me?

He loosen up his tie and sat down besides me on the bed and poured a glass of water and took out a medicine to hand it over to me.

"Here, have these, you will feel better!" He said. I am afraid if he is feeding me drugs.. But who cares, whatever and however it is now, I know I am hispossession, and he wont let go of me unless he gets bored of me.. I hope that happens soon.

I pushed the medicine down my throat with water. He took the glass from my hand and kept it on the table.

"I wanted to spend some time with you but I have a meeting to head to!" He said.

Please go! Right now, I don't want you anywhere around me.

He leaned closer to my head, tilted my chin upto his lips and kissed me. I gave up the idea of resisting to his kisses now.

"Ill come back in an hour and we will continue with your lesson number two: always, obey me!" He said.

I looked at him scared. There were more of the lessons coming. I swallowed hard before I asked him one last question.

"Af-after that... Can I go back to my father's house?"

"Sure, you are going to stay with your father two more years... Untill you graduate and become a woman I can marry!" He said and left.

It was a long night with Ivaan. Though he didnt touched me but every inch of me hated him from the core and hated myself for giving up to him. But I hadseen how ruthless he is.. How, without even thinking for once he killed my mom. And to know that Ill have to marry him and spend my rest of the life with himsent chills to my core.

The morning came and he dropped me off safely to my house but I literally had no face to go in. I could not gather up the courage to face my father and thathouse which used to be a house because of my mother. I killed her .. And I.. Have to face my dad.

With heavy steps I walked towards my house, a meter's distance seemed like a mile today at this moment.

I walked inside the house, the door was open. There were no lights inside the room and there I saw my dad in the corner of the room, seated in the dark.There were no tears in his eyes.. His eyes seemed to have dried. I was right, my father half died that night along with my mom.

I walked upto him and sat down in front of him my hands on his hand.

"Dad?" He didn't look up.

It broke me down completely watching my dad like this. I started crying and I had to make my dad cry too so he would be able to release his sorrows withtears from his eyes.

"Im sorry!" I started unable to stop my crying. "I killed mom.. I..I am so sorry!" I broke down in front of him but he still didnt shed a tear. It was as if he wasstoned . unable to move, unable to show any reaction... He was just like a statue sitting there.

"Dad? It was all my fault! If-if I hadn't try to escape, mom would have been alive.. I am sorry dad! I should have given in to him.." I rested my forehead on hishands.

He moved a bit. He put his one palm on my head and opened his lips to say, "You're right! If I hadn't asked you to escape, Ivaan wouldn't have killed yourmother! I killed my beloved wife ! She already has been through so much pain..." He broke down completely. "Im sorry, dear I am a terrible father, I was unableto protect you from him. Being a father it was my duty to protect you and what I did? Like a sissy I watched you there, let you choose between me and yourmom! Its not your fault Anaaya, Its us elders.

Your grandpa was the one to fix you up with Ivaan, He was the one to sign the contract with his father back then. Ten years ago, our company was goingthrough a major loss and we needed a lot of money to fix that. We went to Ivaan's father, Vijay, and he got ready to help us with the money but only if we had tosign the contract of you and Ivaan having to get married. Your grandpa never wanted you to get married into his household. He thought, the company wouldrecover the losses and payback the money we are taking from him. But the papers had loopholes. Your grandpa didnt know. And so after a year when we werefinally able to pay him back and asked him to break the contract we got to know that it wasnt the case. You were betrothed to Ivaan not in exchange of themoney but in exchange of the help. Your grandpa fought back and he was shot dead by his men. Your mom tried every way to break the contract but she toowas made to go through the accident and she became paralysed like this. Four years ago we heard the news of Ivaan, that he killed his father and brothers totake over the mafia throne. We thought maybe you would be saved from marrying him. Ivaan didnt knew of this deal, we thought maybe you wont be botheredagain but now he knows and according to the contract the moment you turn 20 and graduate from the university, there is no way you can escape marrying him.

I am sorry, Anaaya. We literally tried everything we could but... Seems like it is of no use!" He said and broke down into crying.

I hugged my father to my chest and held him just like that until he cried himself empty.
