Ragini

As I reached the room in which I found myself sometime ago, I closed the door and fell on the floor, leaning to the door.

What has happened in some hours!! My whole life turned upside down. I was going to get married and here I am now, in the Mafia boss house, as his hostage. He's threatening me by using my brother maybe because he don't want me to do something to my life because that'll not be his victory as he'll not get what he want. With my brother being in his clutches, I'll think million times before doing anything to myself as it will lead him to harm my brother. And he's right. I'll not give him any chance to do anything to my little brother. I'm feeling so helpless, so useless. Never in my entire life I felt this helpless.

I was from a lower middle class family. We used to spend what my father used to earn every month. We had a tough life but that was okay because we were together and were getting the basic things people need for their lives. That was enough. But then one day, my parents left this world, leaving me and my brother with my heartless uncle and aunt. They treated us like garbages.

My parents were killed in our house when me and my brother were at school. Why and by whom, that's still a mystery. I was seventeen at that time and my brother was ten. Never ever we felt like home with my uncle and aunt. We were always a burden for them. But I used to bear their torture for my brother. In fact I used to do a part time job in a cafe, which is owned by my father's friend, for giving my brother a good life and provide him everything.

Then came he, Jai Malik. My uncle and aunt fixed my alliance with him without even asking for my consent. They just wanted to get rid of me and my brother. But still I tried to take it positively. I thought he'll bring some happiness in my sad and lonely life. He used to behave nicely and used to treat me well. I thought finally I was going to get someone to be my side but then from no where came the Mafia boss, Laksh Maheshwari. He spoiled everything. He snatched the happiness I was going to get and crushed all my hopes in mere seconds.

I never met him before then why he's behind me? What's there in me? I'm just a broken girl. I don't have anything. When and where did he even see me? This is killing me. What should I do now? I just can't risk my brother's life by trying my luck in escaping from here. My brother is my only family. I can't lose him. Don't know how he must be? He must be scared. Don't know where he has kept him?

I kept crying there for don't know how long. I was brought out of my thoughts by the sound of bangings on the door. The person's going to break it. I got up and moved away from the door and it opened but didn't break which surprised me. As soon as the door opened my eyes landed on him. He was standing there in shorts and a grey T-shirt which was looking like it'll get torn any second because of his bulging muscles. There was a gold chain around his neck which was half under his T-shirt. His hair were all messed up and falling on his forehead. He was looking intimidating. His looks were making chills run down my spine.

He started taking steps towards me while I started moving backwards. My body was shaking with the fear about what he was going to do with me.

'See you in the night, princess.'

His words started ringing in my head.

'No, this isn't what you're thinking Ragini.' I started convincing myself.

I hit the bed and fell on it but sat up immediately. Before I could get up, he was right in front of me. His face was as hard as stone and eyes were void of any kind of feelings or emotions. He started moving his face closer to mine and I started laying back to maintain distance but no use because my upper body was now lying on the bed. There wasn't any escape now.

His face was mere inches apart from mine. He placed is hands on my either sides and was now hovering upon me. I closed my eyes, feeling myself caged.

"Open your eyes." he ordered as his hot breath fell on my face. His voice was commanding.

I wasn't having any guts to go against him so I opened my eyes and met his dark brown ones. He didn't say anything for a few seconds but kept staring.

"Do you think you can escape from me?" he asked lifting one of his brows up.

I gulped and shook my head. In the next second I was pulled up by my waist and was standing on my feet with his one hand still on my waist and other at the back of my head.

He moved his face closer to mine. I clutched on my lehenga in fear. What he's going to do? Please not what I'm thinking.

"Good!! And don't you ever live in the misunderstanding that you can go away from my reach because that's not possible." he said near my ear.

I gulped again at that. My heart started racing as he started nibbling on my earlobe.

"Please..." I managed to utter in between my racing breaths.

"Please what?" he asked while moving his face from my ear to neck and started nuzzling it.

"Please don't do this. Let me go!" I said trying to muffle my cries.

But he didn't seem to care as he kept on moving his face in my neck. He didn't answer.

"Where's Jai? What did you do with him?" I asked all of a sudden.

He immediately pulled his face back and looked into my eyes. He was looking angry at first but then smirked.

"You mean your so called fiance?" he asked with his face still closer to mine.

I nodded slowly.

"He's where he belongs to." he said as his smirk widened.

"Where?" I asked.

"Hell!! I killed him." he said as his eyes darkened.

My heart clenched at that. He really did that. He was not lying. His eyes were saying everything.

"Wh.. Why?" I asked shuttering. Tears started flowing from my eyes.

"Coz he tried to take away what's mine!!" he said tightening his grip around my waist.

I flinched at that. He was hurting me.

"Yours?" I found myself asking.

"You!!" he replied as his fingers dugged more into my waist.

I bit on my lips to control my sob.

'When even I was his?' I thought.

"The second I laid my eyes on you." he answered like he heard my thoughts.

"The thing you're doing with your lips is tempting me." he said with his gaze glued on my lips which I was biting mercilessly to control my cries.

I immediately stopped with what I was doing and turned my face away. He can do anything. He's cruel.

"Eyes on me when I'm near you." he commanded.

I looked at him again. His eyes were looking straight at me.

"Please let me go. I promise I'll never ever show my face to you. I'll go away with my brother." I begged again.

He started laughing at that. He left my waist and took a step back as he moved his hand through his hair.

"You're so stupid to think that." he said still laughing.

"This is your life now. This is where you belong. I'm to whom you belong. The sooner you accept it the lesser painful it'll be for you." he said as he fell halfly on the bed with his legs on the floor.

He is not going to feel any kind of mercy for me. He is heartless. There is no use of begging and crying in front of him.

"Can I meet my brother?" I asked looking at him.

He looked at me for a few seconds before moving his hand into the pocket of his shorts and took out his mobile. After a few seconds he gave the phone to me. I took it with a confused mind. I looked at the screen and I saw my brother.

He was in a room, sitting on the bed with some books around him. He was writing something in a notebook. Seeing him alright made me take a breath of relief. It wasn't any room in my uncle's house. Where was he?

I lifted my eyes to look at the beast who was laying with his eyes closed.

"Where did you keep him?" I asked in a desperate voice.

"That's not for you to know. The thing you need to know is he's fine till you obey otherwise... I don't think I need to tell you what all can happen to him." he said still with closed eyes.

I looked at the screen again and my tears weren't stopping. I moved my fingers on the screen. Suddenly the phone was snatched out of my hands. I looked up at him. He was standing in front of me now.

"Enough of staring your brother now. Just say him a good bye don't know when you'll get a chance to see him again." he said showing the screen to me for a second and then put it back in his pocket.

He then held my waist and pulled me to him with a jerk and my body dashed with his.

"For now get the hell out of this outfit. I'm not liking it. It's making me think about him again and again. That bastard whom you were going to get married to. You're just mine and only mine, all rights reserved. Accept this. And I don't like the fact that you got ready for someone else." he said with a clenched jaw.

"There is everything you need in the wardrobe. Wear whatever you like but just get out of this and..."

He stopped when we heard a voice from outside. The door wasn't closed but the person was not in the view. He was shouting from some distance.

"Boss, we're ready to leave." said the person.

He looked at the door and then back at me.

"I have business to take care of otherwise I would have stayed with you." he said as he brushed his lips on my cheek. I closed my eyes shut at that as I gritted my teeth.

"Will meet you later, buttercake." he said moving the back of his hand on my cheek.

With that I felt myself getting free of his hold. I opened my eyes and he was gone. I let out the breath which I didn't even know I was holding.

"He killed him!! He killed the boy I was going to get married to." I said as I fell on my knees.

I hugged my knees closer to my chest as I tried to digest the fact in. My eyes were shedding unstoppable tears.

"He snatched his life from him just because of me. I'm the sole reason of his death."

If he can kill Jai then why he'll think before killing my brother? There's not any reason that he'll hesitate for a second before killing Rohit. No, I can't give him any reason to do it. I'll not do anything against him.

I wiped my tears and got up. I moved to the wardrobe. My eyes widened at the sight. There were countless number of clothes. From shorts to jeans and dresses, suits to sarees, casuals to party wear. Every kind of women clothings I have ever heard about. I opened the other side and there were rows of footwears. From shoes to heels, flats to boots. Every single kind of. He's rich. Why do I even have a doubt in that? He's a Mafia boss. He is supposed be rich. Isn't it? From when he was planning all this?

I sighed as I picked up a white T-shirt and a black pyjama. I moved to the bathroom and it also left me with wide eyes. It was large and beautiful. But nothing was making my mind off the things which were happening in my life. I opened the shower and let the cold water fall upon me. I was rubbing my body to get rid of his touch but still I could feel his hands and lips. I cried in the shower for don't know how long and then came out wearing the clothes, with my hair still wet.

I found one of his brothers standing at the door. He looked at me and took a few steps in my direction. I started taking back steps. He noticed that and stopped moving towards me.

"Hey, relax!! Don't worry I'll not do anything to you." he tried to assure me.

I didn't say anything but kept looking at the floor waiting for him to say anything or give any order.

"The name is Arjun." he introduced himself.

I lifted my eyes to look at him. His looks weren't cold like his brother. Yet there wasn't any specific look on his face. Still I didn't say anything.

"Uhm, I was here to call you for dinner. You must be hungry." he said.

"No, I'm not hungry." I replied in a low voice.

"There's not any option. You have to eat." he declared.

I sighed as I started moving to the door. Taking it as a yes he also started moving to the door and I followed him.

As we reached downstairs, I saw other three of his brothers already seated at the dining table but Laksh wasn't there which made me feel better. Arjun moved towards them and sat with them. They signed me to join. I hesitantly moved to the table and sat on the chair which was away from all of them. They didn't say anything.

They then introduced themselves to me. They all are younger than Laksh. Laksh is first then is Yuvraaj, Arjun, Ryan and Kabeer and with what they told me, all of them are older to me besides Kabeer. He's a few months younger to me. I just nodded my head in response.

We all started to eat. They were talking about some stuff which I wasn't understanding and I didn't pay much attention to it. They tried to interact with me but seeing my discomfort they dropped the idea. I was eating silently with my gaze fixed on the plate. I wasn't feeling like eating but I have to if I need to survive for my brother.

After the dinner, everyone went to their rooms and I went to mine. I locked the door although I knew it wasn't of any use because he can break it with least effort if he want. I went to the bed and laid on it. I covered myself in the blanket as I curled into myself. I closed my eyes to get involve into dreams to forget the real nightmare of my life.

My life is not mine anymore.
