Author POV
Eerie like silence echoing through each bricks of that basement. There is nothing visible except for blackness. The air was thick with dust and dirt, the faint smell of blood filled and mixed with the air.
In the far corner of that basement there was a man tied to a chair. His tired face, torn shirt and blood which covered almost every part of his body is a proof that he is being tortured severely.
He is conscious yet he remained shut his eyes. He has no energy left in his body, even breathing feels like a big task for him without food and water for almost three days. He can only hear his heart beat which beating rapidly inside his ribcage knowing that his end is near.
Screeching sound of that steel door indicated he has less time to live. There stood two men in uniform each side of the entrance holding their guns.
Strong foot steps echoed through the basement and with each passing seconds it was becoming louder which means, he is on his way. The man in chair trembled in fear.
The foot steps halted in-front of the trembling man as he felt the power and dominance spreading because of the devil standing there.
Another man placed a chair facing the trembling man.
" Boss, he is not opening his mouth and we have tried everything" Afzal, his right hand and the most trusted man to him spoke in anxious. The devil sat on the chair in a posture which radiates power around him.
" Who is behind all of this?" The most authoritative voice asked but, he got no response. "It seems like, whoever sent you to spy on my family and me is more important than you own family"
The man shot open his eyes hearing what he has just said only to meet the amber eyes staring dangerously which took his breath away.
"N-ot my f-mail-y please. I was forc- froced to do this. Please forgive me once" The man pleaded in fear. In next moment the man's hair pulled harshly in a strong fist by the devil and he yanked man's face to land a punch on his jaw. The man fell with the chair because of the force as he growled in pain.
The amber eyes man signaled something to Afzal and he dialed a number and put on speaker as he spoke, " give the phone to his daughter".
"Dad.. dad what's all this? Where are you? Why are these men with guns in our home? What's happening?" A girl spoke through the phone anxiously and then Afzal disconnected the line.
"I will tel tell every-thing. Plea plea-se leave my f-mily" The man shivered as he pleaded to the devil. Tears running down from his sleepless eyes.
"I have no time to hear your nonsense. Just spill the truth otherwise, your house will burn in to ashes along with your family" he rolled up both his shirt sleeves and rested his one elbow on his thigh as he warned that shivering man.
"It's Si- Simon Volkov who told me to spy on you and on your family. He pai-paid me big money to work behind you. He wants to know every details of your family and your next shipment. That's all I know. Please forgiv".... BOOOM
A Gun shot heard and his pleading ended in the middle as his lifless body still tied to the chair. Blood oozing between his eyes as he drenched in blood.
"Afzal, clean the mess and take care of this bastards family. I will deal with that mother fucker Simon soon" saying this, the devil left the basement without giving him a glance.
He is the most powerful man in whole mafia world. Everyone feared him but fearing is a foreign feeling to him. He is ruthless and no one can match his powers and strength. No one has the audacity to speak looking into his eyes, he can burn his enemies just with staring. He loves his family so much. He is loved and respected by each and every one of his family yet he doesn't believe in love.
Women are weakness of men in his pint of view. He is the man of dominance, another name of dangerous.
That is Arsh Akthar.
He is the leader of Cobra. CEO of Akthar Industry ; a multi international company owned by Akthar family. He is the one who took their business to another level. At the age of 15 he lost his father due to some health issues and from on that day he took his father's position both in business and mafia world.
He became the most dangerous, and furious man after that. Everyone feared him. His teenage life was spent with weapons for training day and night to become the most ruthless mafia boss.
And at the age of 21, he became successful in his young age. He became more cold, he learnt to seal his emotions and his heart was as strong as a rock which is impossible to break. But little did he know that someone has already born fragile to melt his heart with her pure love and affection...
...
After that encounter in the basement he headed to the mansion to save the promise which he gave to his mother whom he adores a lot since his childhood. She was the most kindest and lovable woman he knows. She has never hurt anyone, not even an ant in her entire life. From the day he lost his father his mom became everything to him yet he got no time to spend with her due to his busy schedule. It was his mother's birthday so he had to grab something for her before he reach the mansion. His family was small along with hime and his mother there lived his little sister who is Zahra, 20 years old girl bubbly girl. It was a joint family whereas their uncle, Arsh father's only sister Inaya lives with his husband Umar their twin children Zaina and Zaid who are same age of Zahra.
Even though he didn't like them a bit he is bearing their presence only for his mother saying they are their only family. So he silently decided to stay away from that mansion. Building a more beautiful and luxurious mansion for himself, he lives there alone. In the start his mother didn't appreciate the idea of living him alone yet when he said its more convenient for him to live there because if his work load and other stuffs, she accepted it on a strict rule to visit her often.
On the way to the home he stopped his Black Tesla near a mall as he had to buy a gift for his mom. Three more cars stopped behind his which was following. all the guards are ready step out as he signaled them saying don't. He went inside alone cause he prefers privacy most of the time when it is anything related to his family.
He headed to the ornaments section directly because his mon has the hobby of collecting them. There a simple and elegant ornament got his attention which a mother penguin and a baby penguin hugging which is made of glass. He was about to reach that but before that a small hand grabbed the same ornament. His gaze traveled to that person's hand to face and he was stunned to see a beautiful girl holding that. Somehow she noticed that he was going to grab that so decided to give it to him. "You can take it if you want" saying that she kept the ornament from where she took and left the place.
He was not in his senses to process as he watched her leaving with a girl. May be it's her friend. She was wearing a white shalwar with a nude hijab which is matching her out fit and securely covering her hair. It was just a few second he saw her face yet he is mesmerized. An unfamiliar feeling clutched his heart seeing her walking away. In an instant movement he came to reality. He bought some gifts for his mom and left the mall shrugging off this new feeling seeing her.
