Vedant's POV~
Revenge is a very powerful word for most of the people in this world, but as for me it is merely a way to quench my thirst. I am living in this disgusting world just for revenge. For me it is the only thing which keeps me alive and gives me motivation to keep going on with this shitty life.
"Ahhhhhhh" the painful echo of the one more disgusting human sitting in front of me gave me immense satisfaction. "Please leave me -dont do this to me" he cried which increased my anger and thirst to kill this bastard more.
Thrusting the whole of an iron rod inside his stomach I twisted it hard until his scream stopped and he died in the most horrific way. Pulling the iron rod back and throwing it away, I called one of my men, who came with a towel.
I wiped my hands and face which had blood. As much as I loved my look stained in blood but I can't let other people get scared by moving out like that. Those humans call me 'THE DEVIL IN DISGUISE' and that's how I am a devil who is hungry for blood and revenge of these bastards. Nobody other than my secretary and my other two best friend knows about this underground business I do of weapons and the cleaning of these ugly monsters from this world.
"Did you kill him?" came from my secretary, 'Aditya Rai' a.k.a my best friend, his words not mine. I am just bearing him because he is the only one who knew everything about me and was there for me since I was in nursery.
"Yes, I did" and a gasped left his mouth "You should at least have some mercy, you already tortured him enough" I replied arrogantly "Mercy for whom that bastard who raped and killed a fifteen years old girl, a five years old girl and even a ten years old boy. He is involved in child trafficking and other heinous acts".
"But you could have punished him lawfully." He tries to justify. Getting inside the car I said "If the law would have done their work correctly they would have never let a bastard like that roam freely."
"But you had strong evidence, you could have tried." He again said, he has a heart of gold. I wonder how he is still bearing me. "Even if they would punish him after seeing the evidence I didn't want him to get an easy death, he deserved a painful way to hell. And it's not like you're seeing it for the first time." I said.
He agreed with me this time and nodded. I closed my eyes leaning back in the seat and suddenly and those chocolate brown eyes came in front of my eyes and I opened my eyes with a jerk.
This has been happening with me since yesterday after the arranged meeting. Those eyes held me captivated each time I saw them it's like they are trying to convey something but weren't able to express themselves. It's like it carries a lot of pain but still it shines to manipulate you in that those shining orbs show nothing but happiness.
It's not that I like her, hell I don't even know her properly. I just met her a few times at family parties as we are family friends, maybe a few times when we were kids which I don't remember much. I remember a few things like the nickname I gave her is 'Choti Chuhiya' dumb I know but now what to do we were kids back then and kids are basically idiots, and let me tell you I hate kids they are just a ball of dumbfucks who keeps on crying and makes a lot of noise.
Interrupting my thoughts Aditya said "We're here" and the car stopped outside my penthouse. Just then it clicked and I said "Take out all the personal information about 'Niyati Pratap Singh' and personal I mean totally personal." And before he could ask anything further I got out of the car and walked inside my penthouse. It's not like I don't want to tell him anything it's just that he will ask many questions and I am not in the mood to answer them right now.
Getting inside my penthouse I was greeted with silence and emptiness. My life was never like this It was full of joy, happiness and happy moments. I had people to trust and rely on, but then I grew up and the realisation hit me hard. This world is a heinous place for the people who are innocent and kind, the people here always want to take advantage of them, manipulate them and leave them broken and alone.
Getting inside my room I straightly went to the bathroom, discarded my blood stained clothes and switched on the shower. Warm water falling on me calmed my body slowly.
Just when I closed my eyes and those eyes again came in front of me and I opened my eyes instantly while groaning annoyingly. Why does she have to ruin my peace each time? And now in a few months she is going to be my wife. I never wanted to marry her or anybody.
it's not like she has any faults or flaws. She is perfect. She is one of the prettiest women I have seen. She has those beautiful eyes which held me captivated every time, those pointed noes adored with a nose ring, those cute full lips and her natural honey brown skin. Whenever she is near me my heartbeat gets faster like it's running a marathon. She is the first woman who had such a great impact on me and I absolutely hate that.
I never wanted this marriage and I somehow knew that she also doesn't want to and I was confirmed after yesterday's conversation. I mean who would agree to marry a stranger especially me. This alliance was made by our grandparents but that doesn't mean we will have to follow it but my family doesn't understand that so I had to say yes to them as I have already rejected ten proposals but I can't deny this time because my mother requested me and I can't deny his words.
I thought she would deny it but she also couldn't because of her personal reasons. I started recalling her words.
Flashback~
Author's POV~
"Say no to this alliance" Vedant said as Niyati's back was facing his front he didn't see her crying and she quickly wiped out her tears. "Why can't you say no to it?" she asked furiously.
"If I could I would have already said" he replied back with the same intensity. Niyati was hella confused why he was being angry it was not her fault that they are in this situation she equally didn't want this as much as he. "I too don't want to marry you but I can't say no to this alliance because of my personal reasons, so why don't you say it"
"I said I can't say no. Why can't you say it? What are your personal reasons?" He said angrily "I don't like to share my personal things and I am not dying to marry you" she said slightly yelling and in a swift moment she is pinned on the nearest wall. He was standing too close for her bearing, his face was just a few inches away staring deep into each other's eyes the world seemed to stop for a moment. Their heart was beating crazily.
Her breath got stuck in her throat when he leaned in and reached towards her ears, his hot breath fanning on her neck sending shivers down to her spines. "Don't ever raise your voice in front of me otherwise the consequences will be hard" he said in his deep voice which made her gulp. She nodded.
He moved away from her and said "I have a plan" "W-What pl-lan" she cursed herself for stammering. He chuckled a bit and said "Let's do a contract marriage of one year and after that we will divorce each other and separate our ways" as he said that she gasped a little "What if we get caught? What will we tell your family during the time of divorce?" She asked "Don't worry about that I will handle that. You just say yes or no" he said arrogantly.
"I don't know if I should trust you or not but I don't have any other options" she said signing "I will make the papers ready in a few days" he said while moving inside, but stopped when she called "I have a few conditions" she said with hesitation "Speak" he said.
"I have three conditions. First you will let me do a job after marriage, Second I can't cook much I mean I just know the basics so we will have to keep a cook, Third You will allow me to wear whatever I want because I don't feel too comfortable in traditional clothes, that's all". She ranted.
After a few minutes of silence he looked in her eyes and said "Why would I stop you from working or would stop you from wearing anything, and it's not my place to give you permission for anything. You don't have to take permission from anyone to do what you desire getting married doesn't mean I will control you nor my family will do. You will have your freedom and until and unless I am with you I will support you in your decisions. And about the cooking part we already have the best cooks." He said clarifying her doubts and went inside.
Flashback ends~
Vedant's POV~
I don't know why I said those words to her but it just looked right to say those things to her. It was like a sudden urge to erase her worries and its not like I lied, I will never control her life or her decision and neither will my family. She can do whatever she wants.
I will support her in her decision, respect her, she will be the next queen of Jodhpur but I will never be able to give her love which she deserves, I won't be able to fulfill her desire which she might have from her other half and that's why I made this contract of one year and we will get divorced and she will be free again.
Thinking about all these I fell into a deep slumber.
