Ira's POV -

Dad is in front of my eyes. For a moment, I forget everything in my life rather than those painful memories. However, Mum's face is blurring my vision. Only because of him, I had to live a life without my mum. If I was with her, I could arrange her treatment in a better way before it got worse.

"How are you, Ira? Did you miss your dad?" His voice is the most unwanted voice on the planet for me.

"You know the answer better than me." I gulp my pain and fear. I can't let him know that I am still suffering through the pain he gave me. I have to be strong for my love. My Aayu.

"Since when have you become so ruthless? As much as I can recall, my daughter was so polite!" He takes four steps forward during his statement. I try to step backward and Aayu holds my hand.

"You forced me to be like this," I replied coldly.

"What's going on, Akram? Why are you talking like this with Ira? We are here for some reason, right?" Uncle is asking Dad. He is astonished why won't he be? After all, everyone's father is not concerned about their children. Additionally, his eyes were showing everything but not love for me.

"Let me deal with her, Aziz. She is not going to listen to the language of love." His bullshit has started.

"Well, it's Aayana here. Nice to meet you, Mr. Khan. However, may I know the language you are talking about?" Aayu stands up and crosses her left hand's knuckles into my right hand's knuckles. I look at her with a slight smile.

"So you are the daughter of Aziz. Nice to meet you as well. I don't know how she introduced me to you. Anyhow, I am Akram Khan. The unblessed father of this daughter who only knows how to lower my head in front of others." I look at him with a shocked face.

"Are you serious, Mr. Khan? When did I do that? Would you care to share?" I don't feel like calling him dad anymore.

"I am not here to discuss those shitty things. Moreover, I am not here for those. Now, tell me one thing. Why are you playing with this girl's life? You might not have a family concern but she lives with her family. Her family's reputation is at stake due to your unacceptable feelings." He is too rude with his tone.

"She never defamed our family. I don't know what kind of information you got. Instead of asking your daughter, you are pointing at her. I wonder how she lived with you for such a long time!" Aayu is showing hatred with her words.

"I didn't tell him anything like that." Uncle is already sounding guilty due to Dad's behavior.

"You didn't tell me for once that you informed Ira's father about all of these. We were about to talk to them calmly." Aunty sounds disappointed in Uncle.

"It's okay, Aunty. Uncle had no idea about our equation." I try to calm their cold fight.

"Not okay but we can talk about this later." I never heard Aayu so upset at her dad. I have to look into this later.

"I am not concerned about all of these. Just tell me one thing, will you leave Aayana politely or not?" He is threatening me.

"Are you here to behave like a roadside goon?" I frown.

"Mind your tongue." He comes closer as if he wants to hit me. I hold Aayu's left forearm with my left hand.

"I am doing that only," I reply slowly.

"If you don't leave Aayana, I will expose you." Everyone in the room is shocked by his warning.

"So, you are here for another deal." I am looking into his eyes. I know him better than anyone.

"That's my intelligent daughter. Certainly, I am here for that reason. I was searching for a chance to earn some money and Aziz's call provided me with that opportunity." I can't explain the hatred I am feeling for him at this moment.

"You don't have any proof for that. So, just get lost. And for your kind information, I am not that teenager who had nothing other than your shelter. If I file any case against you, none will ask me a question. Moreover, do you think that you can hire a better lawyer for you?" If he can then I can threaten him also.

"Don't you have any shame? You are threatening me. Your father." He is surprised by my response.

"Isn't it you who forced me to do so?" I am looking into his eyes with a sharp gaze. I wonder where I gathered enough courage for that. It's none but my love.

He turns his face to Aayu's dad, "Look at her, Aziz. She is absolutely like her mother." I scowl and he looks at me, "Bloody bitch. Like a mother, like a daughter." He is crossing his limits now.

"Don't ever dare to bring my mum into this. She didn't do anything." I am huffing due to louder talk. Aayu is hugging me from the side.

"Akram, I couldn't imagine that you would create a scene like this." Uncle is quite surprised by him as well.

"You should. At least, you could ask your daughter about me." He smirks.

"Whatever. You can't do anything as you don't have any proof against us." Then I turned my face to Aayu's mother. "Aunty, I am sorry but we will have dinner together on another day. I am leaving now with Aayu. I can't stand with this filthy man anymore." I hold Aayu's hand and take a few steps ahead toward the main door.

"I have proof against your mum." His statement froze my legs. "I know you very well. You won't let your mum be proven as a slut in front of the world. That will undoubtedly be against your will." I turn to him with a deadly look.

"What do you have?" I ask coldly because I can't afford anything against my mum.

"If one then I should say. Plenty of proof. With her college life lesbian love or after marriage enjoying sex with another man. Well, that is the interesting one because I have recorded a video of that." I feel the fire floating through my veins instead of blood.

"You disgusting man." I rush to him and punch his face harder and his nose starts bleeding immediately.

"Iru..." Aayu reaches me instantly but I hold his collar to punch him more.

"Your beating can't change the truth. Let me share another truth. You are not my daughter but that man's." I feel the ground moves from below my feet.

"What the hell are you saying? Can you hear yourself?" I leave his collar. I feel no strength in my body. Aayu is holding me to keep me standing.

"Hahaha. It's the truth. If you don't trust me, let's go for a DNA test. We don't share any blood relation." His eyes are showing confidence but why did Mum never tell me about this?

"How can I trust you? Mum never told me." My voice is cracked already.

"She was unknown as well. Hahahaha..." His laughter echo is hurting my ear curtains. I lose control and punch him with the full force of my body. He falls on the floor.

"If you don't tell everything right now. I will kill you and none will be able to find your dead body." I intend to hit him with a flower vase.

"I am telling you. I used to maintain the precautions to avoid your mum's pregnancy as I was aware of my son. However, my boss seemed so low because his wife wouldn't be pregnant ever.

I grabbed the opportunity and took him to my home. I blindfolded your mum and she thought it was me who was having intimacy with her but it was my boss. I recorded that moment to blackmail my boss and keep earning." I am dying to kill him now. How can a man stoop so low?

"Why didn't you let my mum know about this?" My eyes are releasing non-stop tears.

"Then she would leave me and she was a great earning source to me." I raise my right leg to kick him.

"Iru... No..." Aayu is wrapping her arms around me from behind. I stopped my intention.

"I have that video. So, don't you think avoiding the deal is your secret? I don't have anything against Iba and Amira. But I have the records of Amira and Karim Khan." I look at him surprisingly.

I am the daughter of Mr. Khan. Karim Khan is my dad!!! How's that possible?
