It's been a month now that Shivaay had kept Annika as a hostage. He lied to his family that he is out of Mumbai for some office work along with Annika.

He took care of Annika like a princess, no matter how much Annika would curse him he won't do anything just love her at least that's what he said. He cooked for her, fed her. He even gave her foot and shoulder massage when she use to feel her monthly cramps.

He was ready to leave her free only when she agree to marry him. He was ready to do anything, he was ready to not touch her for his entire lifetime only if she stays by his side as his wife. All he wants was the place of a life partner in her life that's it!

Annika couldn't understand what was stopping her, that he forced Nikhil to leave him or the way he is keeping her right now. He was everything a girl would want yet not a Prince Charming!

"Your breakfast senorita!" Shivaay grinned coming inside Annika's room where she was sitting on the bed wrapping her arms around her legs.

"See I made your favorite aloo puri with gajar ka halwa!" he beamed proudly settling down beside her gently kissing her forehead.

He kept talking to her about various things as he made a plate for her.He forwarded the first morsel toward her making sure it was not much hot and Annika took it silently knowing very well that he wouldn't let it go. A tear escaped her eyes not knowing for what?

"You okay Annika, is it too spicy? Wait I will make another one with less spice. I will be back within half an hour." he said and was going when she held his hand.

"No it's good I just got emotional" she replied and he nodded in acknowledgement feeding her another morsel "Please don't cry I don't like tears in your eyes" he said honestly and another tear escaped her eyes.

"You are the reason of these tears Shivaay. Why can't you let me go? You said you love me then you should love me enough to let me go!" she snapped as Shivaay fed her another morsel "I can't Annika. Okay--- you said to let you go if I love you. I can let you go to a man who can love you at least as much as I do can you tell me any such man? "

Annika led out a sigh, who tells this man that his love is mad, it is obsession that to at some other level only. He picked up a knife from food trolley and gave it to Annika.

"Kill me and you can go trust me no one will even point a finger on you just kill me and you will be free. I can't die and I can't live without you. So you kill me yourself and I promise not even a painful moan will escape my lips"

Annika threw the knife away, of course she can't kill him. She knew she loves him and she can never undo her feelings.

"Annika can you just give me one single day, forget everything what happened so far. Let's be like friends and spend a day together!" Shivaay requested and Annika looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"And if I don't like you, you will let me go?"

Shivaay looked at her before nodding in negative "No, that's not happening. I wish to spend some good time with you where you don't feel caged like this but you don't have any other option other than living with me!"

He picked up the plate to leave when she interrupted"Okay fine but I have a condition and you have to promise to fulfil it" Shivaay looked at her with a smile "Promise! anything except leaving you."

"We will go without any bodyguard not even Khanna and you will not take any gun with you!" she said and Shivaay looked at her alarmed "Annika my biggest enemy is out of the prison. I can't take risk with your life---"he was interrupted by Annika "You promised Shivaay?"

"Fine!" Shivaay said letting out a sigh "Get ready we will leave in an hour." he added and Annika nodded in positive getting up from her place to get ready. Shivaay was leaving when he again turned toward her and said in a dangerous tone.

"I am trusting someone for the first time Annika don't make me regret it!"

With this he left the room silently as Annika stared the door. After an hour they left in Shivaay's red vintage car. Entire day Shivaay made sure she enjoys to her full limit. Even Annika forgot everything for sometime. He took her to movie, ate roadside food with her, jumped in the water with her. Both Shivaay and Annika had a memorable time together.

It was night when they were coming back from their day out, it was a lonely path across forest where Annika asked Shivaay to stop the car "Annika it's dangerous out here, please understand" Shivaay tried to explain her but she didn't budged and he couldn't refuse her for anything.

They got down the car and walked to one side of the road, Annika continuously kept talking about her life incidents and Shivaay just admired her. Lost in his temptress the devil didn't recognize when she pushed him in the narrow ditch and taking his car drove away.

It took Shivaay an hour to come up again, he was hurt in his head but it was his soul which was hurt more, his devil roared feeling betrayed. "You didn't do right Annika, you clearly didn't do right by breaking my trust over you!"

He was going to call Khanna when he received a phone call from an unknown number "Hello Shivaay, my buddy did you remember me?" he heard the caller on the other side and clutched his phone

"How can I forget you bastard? How dare you call me?" yelled Shivaay on the call extremely frustrated. First Annika ran away without any security and secondly this phone call.

He heard screaming from the other side and his eyes widened alarmed recognizing the voice "Annika---you there hello?" he screamed over the call. His muscles tensioned up as adrenaline rushed over his entire body.

"Heard the voice of your temptress Shivaay? " he heard the mocking voice and held the phone in a tight grip "Vikran your enmity is with me leave her right now!" Shivaay literally screamed but the person otherside just laughed.

"When I know she is the parrot in which the life of the devil reside why would I leave her?"

"Anyway she is good feast for all the men over----"he was interrupted by Shivaay's dangerous voice. "Don't you dare to even touch her Vikram" His voice still had the capability of sending goosebumps all around Vikram.

"Fine no one will touch her. One car is coming there you sit in that car silently, it will bring you to this place. Don't you dare call any of your bodyguards otherwise your temptress would be the feast of all my men including me!" he cut the call and Shivaay roared in anger and frustration.

A car came and he silently sat inside it which took him to an old deserted cotton mill. Shivaay soon came face to face with his one of the biggest enemy, once his dearest friend Vikram Raj Singh!

He looked around and saw Annika tied in a chair with her hands tied around. Her mouth was sealed with a tape. He immediately rushed to her wiping her tears "You okay Temptress, is it hurting?" he asked rubbing her hand which were tied as yet another tear escaped her eyes.

She didn't knew she will runaway from the devil only to end up with someone much more inhuman and dangerous!

"Vikram you got me right, now let her go!" Shivaay ordered in a superior tone but Vikram just chuckled it off. He guided two of his men to hold Shivaay but in just a push both of them were on the floor, Shivaay went and grabbed Vikram's neck choking him out.

"Shivaay don't you dare just look" Vikram said making her look toward Annika where the other men pointed a gun toward her. Shivaay left Vikram with a jerk as he coughed hard.

"What do you want Vikram?" he shouted, Vikram finally stood up and said in a low tone "Revenge Shivaay revenge, I worked in your company for ten years still just for one mistake you destroyed my entire life. Put my family against me and send me to jail. On your order they daily gave me third degree treatment!"

"It was not a mistake Vikram, it was a crime you did drugs business under my name. Were involved in girls trafficking and even raped three girls!" screamed back Shivaay.

"So you could have explained me right, I was your friend you could have given me a chance but you took stand for those girls not me" groaned Vikram angrily.

"From the time I had ranaway from jail, I collected all my black money and was searching for your weakness. I knew about your family but I wanted something that could leave you tormented and then I met your old friend----" Vikram continued smirking.

"Shivaay meet your old friend Nikhil Mehra!"

Vikram beamed and Annika's eyes widened seeing Nikhil who just came inside. Nikhil looked at Annika with God knows what emotions, Shivaay yelled angry "How dare you backbite me bastard?"

"Nikhil wanted revenge for the way you treated him so he told us about Annika, we were waiting for a perfect chance and when she today ranaway that to without any guards we got a perfect chance" said Vikram with a victorious smirk before moving toward Nikhil "Thank you my friend now you can go!"

"But Annika----"Nikhil was interrupted by Vikram "She is going to stay with us any problem?" Nikhil looked at him with wide eyes "but you promised you will let Annika go with me!" Vikram smirked before pointing a gun at Nikhil's forehead "and now I am reverting back. If you want to walk off alive just leave" he threatened Nikhil who gulped and giving a last look to Annika just left the mill.

Annika couldn't believe she ever thought this man as her life partner. For sake of his revenge he was ready to sacrifice her!

"So Shivaay let's play a game---"trailed off Vikram picking a hunter "I will hit you with this and everytime you scream, my men will tear any part of your temptress cloths and if you control your voice no one will touch her" he ended and Annika looked at them wide eyes. She can't let him hurt Shivaay. She screamed but all it came out was as a whimper.

"And if you quit this game she can very well be the fourth girl in my list" he said smirking , Shivaay glared toward him. His devils inside roared with possessiveness. In no way he can let anyone lay a finger on his temptress.

"Bring it on!"

Shivaay declared, Annika screamed trying to stop him but nothing could help. She felt so helpless, tears streamed down her eyes. Shivaay took out his base coat and then his shirt and stuffed the fabric in his mouth so that in no case a sound can escape his mouth. He kept his right palm over the tattoo of Annika's name not wanting a mark over there and gestured Vikram to begin.

Annika kept nodding in a no with tears streaming her eyes but nothing worked as Vikram slashed the hunter on Shivaay's back. A stinging pain crossed Shivaay's entire body. He closed his eyes but didn't let a single word escape his mouth.

Vikram kept hitting him and Shivaay just gulped all his pain and voice. Annika screamed everytime the hunter came in contact with Shivaay's body but Shivaay didn't even let a moan escape his mouth.

Vikram was getting frustrated while the devils inside Shivaay celebrated his victory. Vikram then poured salt and chilli water on Shivaay's wounds to which he flinched but didn't let a word escape his lips.

Vikram was disturbed by a phone call. He gave a look to Shivaay before picking up the call "Hello---what the hell?" he kept the phone back as it was an advertisement call.

Shivaay smirked before taking out the cloth he had stuffed in his mouth, the devils in him mocked Vikram dancing in Shivaay's now tearful reddish blue eyes. He said in a dangerous staccato.

"You shouldn't have picked the call my friend"
