Her face harden seeing the box in her hand. Her body shivers, all the those pains, cries echoed in her ears. Her chest and breaths gets heavy. She held her chair knowing she was getting panic attack.

The box drops down. Her head starts spinning, her eyes blurred. She palms her ears not wanting to her those nasty words that continues to echo.

She tried to breath in and out calming herself down but it felt like she was losing herself.

All of sudden she felt his presence, his soft arms around her waist pulling her into his most protective arms. Her head rested on his chest. His hands rubbing her back trying to calm her down.

He softly whispers sweets words into her ears not caring about witness he might caught their attention.

All it matters was her being safe in his arms. He softly rubs her back and continues whispering words into her ears.

In a flick second his eyes on the box lying beside. He tightens his grip around her waist once he felt her getting calmer.

He rested his head on her shoulder and a tear rolls down his cheek. His heart sank seeing her having another attack after they have returned back from Delhi.

He was helpless seeing her like this. He hugged her tightly feeling like she will disappear if he breaks the hug.

Her body gave up falling in his arms. He broke the hug and lifting her up in his arms starts walking outside the office ignoring all the gazes on them.

He took car key out from his pocket and unlocking the car, opens the back door. He laid her on the back seat and closed the door walking to driver side.

He settled on the seat and closing the door starts engine and drove to his mansion.

He glanced back time to time, he too his phone and called his family doctor.

Ending the call increased the speed and drove.

Neil stops and opening the door he again lifts her up in his arms and kicking the door shut starts walking inside.

He then went to his room and gently placed her down the bed. He then moving to widow opens the curtain letting the sun in.

He sat beside her holding her hand and caressed her head.

Neil : please. Don't leave me Avni. I can't lose you.

He mutters as he bends down kissing her forehead. He stood up hearing a doorbell.

He went out of the room and walks back with his doctor. His doctor checked Avni up and looks at Neil.

Doctor : again attack? Any reasons.

Neil : yes. I don't know the reason.

The doctor sighs and gave injection to Avni. He pats Neil's shoulder and walks out of the room after telling him to take care of her.

Neil sighs and sat beside her on bed and watched her face expressions changing.

He held her hands in his and rested his head on her Shoulder.

She opens her eyes and looks at him falling sleep in her shoulder. she tilts her hand up and touched his face.

Avni : I'm sorry Neil. You're suffering because of me.

She pushed his head from her shoulder and placed it on pillow. She then gets up moving to balcony.

She stood there against the railing. A cold breeze hitting her body.  She wraps her arms around her feeling little cold.

Her body stiffens feeling his arms around her waist and his head on her shoulder.

Neil : what are you thinking?

She shook her head and leans back on his chest feeling safe around him. She chucked the incident that happened earlier.

Neil : would you like to share something with me?

He really wants her to share her pain with him like he did his.

Avni turns slightly and looks at him.

Avni : if I share you with me. Will you leave after hearing my side story?

Neil : I won't leave you. You stayed beside me when I needed you then how can I leave when you need me beside you. I promise I won't judge or leave you.

He placed his hand on hers making her wonder what she did to get him in her life. Him entering in her life changed everything.

Her eyes glints with tears and her lips bobbled up as she recalled her past.

Neil tightens his arms around her waist and whispers softly making her realised he deserves to know her past.

Avni : do you remember how we met?

Neil : I do. This is connected with your past.

Avni : yes! That day I escaped from hell. I wasn't allowed to escape from that hell but it happened. The person who kept me captured in the hell had to go out of India. He gave a week free but threatening me I won't escape. He left his bodyguards with men. After he went left. His bodyguard asked what I wanted to do.. I said shopping. We went shopping after taking his permission. We were roaming around. I wasn't allowed to seek help from anyone or speak to them. We entered to one of the mall. I found a dress or something. I went to change and I didn't realise when and how the mall got attacked. Gunshots were heard. I dropped my stuff and hid myself in the changing cubicle. I didn't wanted to die or get caught. I hid myself there. Hours passed there. Neither I was caught or the bodyguards came searching for me..

She stops taking a deep breath and looks in the space continuing how she escaped from there.

Avni : somehow I managed to come out and left the mall. I didn't know where I was going. I walked hours finding a place to stay. I don't know if i I should that was luck or my fate was going to change that night. It was middle of night I came to isolate place and walked on the road not seeing any cars passing and out of nowhere your car and in fear I fainted there. The rest you know what happened after that.

Neil broke the back hug and turns her around cupping her face.

Neil: you're the strongest woman I have ever met. I am so proud of you. You made it through a lot.

Avni gave him smile and starts moving to couch. She sat down and gestures him to come.

He also comes and sat next to her side hugging her and holding her hands.

Neil: do you want continue? who was he? Why did he captured you?

His anger boiled finding someone kept her captured in a hell. He could imagine how she might be treated there. His heart wasn't ready to hear all that because he knew it will kill him a lot.

Avni nodding her head and continues telling him the past of hers.

Avni : I don't know the reason why he captured me there for so many years. My parents were murdered by his family. His family was powerful. His family had rivals with my family and my parents sacrificed their lives for that rival. My got killed when I was 15 years. They were killed front of my eyes and my family stood there watching them getting killed. That day not only my parents died for them but I did too. They disowned me and I was taken by him who oath to make my life hell. After my parents death I didn't have anyone. I was taken to his mansion and lived like a dead corpse. He would torture me every days and night.

Tears spills out of her eyes recalling those days. It wasn't a single day where she didn't get beaten by him. She was physically abused by him.

Neil's heart clenched hearing how painful her past is.  He snaps his head at Avni who sighing herself continues.

Avni : torturing me wouldn't stop. He would beat me like a trash. He would curse me. My life was destroyed the day I went to his hell. He wouldn't even stop. He wouldn't let me escape. My parents left me in the alone for whom. The people, the so-called family betrayed them. They don't even to deserve to be called a family. They are demons who kills people for own selfish reasons. His tortures and abusing me continues. There was a time where he would invites his guests who would lust over me. My body would be used to satisfy their physical needs. Living in hell. I had no hope. My body gave up and I couldn't stop them from using me or my body like a trash..

She couldn't complete. It was hard for to speak up. She doesn't have courage to speak. She doesn't. She couldn't continue as her body had enough. Her feelings and emotions bolted up.

She burst in tears and cried her heart out for what she didn't even deserve the things she went through. Her heart broke every time she left those men's touch. She could feel those men's touches on her body.

It disgusts her how weak she was letting them use her body. She was so fragile and broken.

He held her in his arms and rubbed her back. He was too stunned. His heart broke more than hers. His tears rolled down his cheek.

They both cried together over their past. It too painful to watch them suffer. They couldn't imagine what they went through. 

Her cries gradually calms. She hugged him so tight.

Neil: why did you faint? You had two attacks after we come back. Is there reason behind that?

Avni : he.... Is searching for me.... He found me...

Neil : no. I won't let you go back there. I won't. He won't harm you...

He can't let her suffer again in that hell again. He can't. She is too precious to suffer. His heart wants to protect even means by putting his life in danger.

He pulls her closer to his chest and was determined to destroy and ruin his life who hurt his girl.
