"I'll make your daughter suffer in ways you've never seen or heard of before."

Start

Ved didn't get out of the car this time, instead, he instructed Tiger to go and get the door opened. Tiger went to the door and started ringing the bell. This time, it was Tapaswi Ji who opened the door, and as soon as Ved saw him, he got out of the car and walked towards him.

Meanwhile, Tapaswi Ji looked at Tiger and asked, "Who are you?"

As soon as he said this, all the people present in the house started looking towards the door, and two of them even recognized Tiger, as they had met him earlier in the afternoon.

Before Tiger could say anything, a voice came from behind him, "Ved Lohia... you must have heard the name...? And if you haven't, listen up, Ved Lohia never waits for anyone, but today I was waiting for you, Tapaswi Mishra!"

Ved's voice was so powerful that everyone inside the house heard it. Palak and her grandmother looked at each other in fear again.

Tapaswi Ji didn't like Ved's intimidating tone and replied in a sharp voice, "So, you're the one who came to my house in my absence and threatened my family members. How dare you scare my child? If I wasn't home, how did you enter my house? If you're so powerful, deal with men, not women!"

Tapaswi Ji's words hit Ved's heart like a dart, implying that he couldn't fight with men. However, Ved smiled strangely and said, "Oh, Tapaswi, you've proven that your life revolves around your daughter. No worries, let's talk about it."

As soon as Ved mentioned his daughter's name, Tapaswi Ji's anger flared up, and he raised his hand to grab Ved's collar. However, Ved cleverly took a step back and said, "No, no, no, Tapaswi, don't do that. My guards didn't do anything. Don't underestimate Ved Lohia; the consequences will be severe. One mistake from you will ruin everything."

Ved's tone of speaking didn't appeal to Tapaswi Ji or his family members. Why would it? His way of speaking was like that of a goon, and he was only showing off his dominance.

Tapaswi Ji turned around to look at his family members and said, "All of you stay inside, and lock the door. I'll handle this."

As he was about to leave, Garima Ji and their two daughters stepped forward, with Palak leading the way. Palak, crying, grabbed her father's hand and said, "No, Papa, you're not going anywhere. He's a goon!"

Palak had forgotten that earlier in the day, calling Ved a goon had resulted in him twisting her wrist. She had repeated the same mistake again.

Ved's eyes turned red with anger, and he took a step forward, grabbing Palak's hair. With all his might, he gritted his teeth and said, "You used that word again, the one I hate the most. Today, I'll show you what I'm capable of, right in front of your family. You've never seen or heard anything like it."

Ved pulled out his pistol from his waist and pointed it at Palak's forehead, saying, "You have a lot of guts to judge people's character?"

Ved was still speaking when Tapaswi Ji grabbed his hand, saying, "Let my child go, let my child go... What are you doing? Have you gone mad? She's just a child, and you're a grown man. Don't harm my child, I'll do whatever you say!"

Garima Ji was equally distraught, and Nandini began crying, clinging to her grandmother. The entire family was in a state of panic.

Everything was going so well, but suddenly, a storm had arrived, destroying the peaceful family. Tapaswi Ji held onto Ved's hand, and Ved glared at him with his fierce eyes. However, Tapaswi Ji didn't flinch, as his daughter was still in Ved's grasp.

Meanwhile, Palak was trying to free her hair from Ved's grasp, holding his hands with both of hers. Tears were streaming down her face.

Tapaswi Ji was still holding onto Ved's hand when Garima Ji rushed forward, grabbing Ved's legs and crying loudly. She held his legs tightly, and Ved didn't like this one bit.

Garima Ji, sobbing uncontrollably, pleaded, "Please let my child go, we'll do whatever you say. Please, have mercy and release my child!"

As Garima Ji spoke, Ved slowly released his grip on Palak's hair, and she fell to the ground with a thud. Ved tried to free his leg from Garima Ji's grasp, and with a strong jerk, he managed to pull it away, causing Garima Ji to stumble backward.

Garima Ji quickly picked up Palak and began to comfort her, stroking her back. Meanwhile, Tapaswi Ji folded his hands and asked Ved, "Why are you doing this? What have we done to you? We don't even know you. Why are you causing us trouble?"

As Garima Ji led Palak inside, Ved's gaze remained fixed on her. Palak, still looking at Ved, had tears streaming down her face, her eyes red and filled with hatred.

As soon as Garima Ji took Palak inside, Tapaswi Ji stepped forward and locked the door from the outside. As the door closed, Garima Ji and the rest of the family grew anxious, worried that something might happen to Tapaswi Ji.

The grandmother, who was inside, began to cry for her son, and she was also concerned about everyone else. However, what she had seen with her own eyes had instilled fear in her - what if that man killed her son?

Tapaswi Ji had locked the door to prevent Ved from taking his family members hostage again, which would weaken him.

Tapaswi Ji asked Ved, "As far as I know, I don't know you, and we don't have any enmity. So, why are you causing trouble for me and my family?"

Tapaswi Ji took Ved aside to talk, while Garima Ji and her daughters opened the window to watch from inside. They were worried and scared, fearing something might happen to Tapaswi Ji. Everyone inside was shouting and panicking.

The society was large, and people were passing by, unaware of the commotion. Meanwhile, Tapaswi Ji was talking to Ved when a voice came from the window, "Papa, don't be afraid of him. If anything happens to you, I won't spare him!"

Ved looked towards the window and warned Tapaswi Ji, "Tapaswi, your daughter talks too much. Keep her under control, or else..." 😡

Tapaswi Ji immediately folded his hands and said, "She's innocent, she's never seen such a situation before, and she's scared. If you wanted to talk to me, you could have waited for me. What will you gain by troubling my family?"

Ved said, "Listen, Tapaswi, neither do I know you nor do you know me. I'm giving you a month's time. Move your shop elsewhere, this place needs to be vacant. Do you understand? Tell me quickly!"

As soon as Tapaswi Ji heard the mention of the land, he finally understood the whole scenario. His expression changed, and he fell into deep thought. For years, people had been threatening him, but he had never encountered someone like Ved.

Seeing Tapaswi Ji lost in thought, Ved asked, "What's wrong? Don't you understand?"

Tapaswi Ji replied with a sad tone, "Look, this land is all we have. If we lose it, not just me, but all the people who have shops here will become homeless. Please, just tell Bhavesh to leave us alone. If we give up this land, we'll have nothing left and will end up on the streets."

Ved didn't like Tapaswi Ji's pleading and warned him, "You have just one month. After that, I'll come myself. And I'll make sure to inform everyone in the morning, so don't say later that I didn't warn you."

Without listening to Tapaswi Ji's further pleas, Ved walked towards his car. Tapaswi Ji followed him, but Ved got into the car and closed the door. The car sped away, leaving Tapaswi Ji crying on the ground.

Meanwhile, Tapaswi Ji's family was watching from the window, tears streaming down their faces. In the car, Ved rubbed his forehead, and his fingers caught two strands of Palak's hair, which had gotten tangled in his fingers when he had grasped her hair tightly, causing some of her hair to break off.

Ved saw Palak's hair in his hand and started shaking his hand as if he had touched something dirty. He ordered the driver, "Take me to the hotel quickly."

The car soon arrived at the hotel, and Ved went straight to his room. He entered the bathroom, removed his clothes, and threw them on the floor. He stood under the shower, still rubbing his hands to clean them.

Ved seemed to be trying to wash away not just the physical touch but also the emotional impact of his encounter with Palak.
