The Wolf’s Contract

Chapter 2: "You Are Only Mine"

The four walls of the Kazi office felt like ice, Boss. Outside, rain was pouring. The sound of rain on the tin roof was hitting her chest like bullets, Boss.

Aryan Chowdhury. The most dangerous CEO in the city, Boss. His eyes were balls of fire, Boss. Black suit. Ring in his hand. The girl standing in front of him - Tithi. Tears in her eyes, Boss. Her lips were trembling, Boss.

"Say Qubool," the Kazi said with a trembling voice, Boss.

Tithi kept her head down, Boss. Her father would go to jail for a 50 lakh taka loan, Boss. Aryan had made a deal, Boss - 3 years of marriage, Boss. Then divorce, Boss. 5 crore taka, Boss.

"Say it, Tithi... Qubool," Aryan's voice was as cold as ice, Boss. But his eyes? Fire in them, Boss 🔥

Tithi closed her eyes, Boss. She remembered her father's face, Boss. The prison bars, Boss.

"Q... Qubool," she whispered, Boss. The word mixed with the rain, Boss.

"Qubool" - said 3 times, Boss. The Kazi signed the paper with shaking hands, Boss.

Aryan put the ring on Tithi's finger, Boss. The ring was cold as ice, Boss. Tithi's hand was trembling, Boss.

"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Chowdhury," the Kazi smiled, Boss. But there was pity in that smile, Boss.

They got in the car, Boss. A Rolls Royce, Boss. Black. Silent inside, Boss. Only the sound of rain, Boss.

Aryan was looking outside the window, Boss. Not saying a word, Boss. Tithi was scared and curled up, Boss. Her heart was pounding, Boss.

"Scared?" Aryan suddenly spoke, Boss. Voice like ice, Boss.

Tithi jumped, Boss. "N-no... I mean," words got stuck, Boss.

Aryan turned and looked at her, Boss. Those eyes, Boss... like they could read inside her, Boss.

"You are my wife now, Tithi," Aryan whispered, Boss. But that whisper felt like a sword piercing her chest, Boss.

"Remember the contract?" Aryan smiled, Boss. But that smile was the devil's smile, Boss 😈

"3 years. Not 1 day less, Boss. Not 1 day more, Boss," Aryan touched her chin with his finger, Boss. His finger was cold as ice, Boss.

"For these 3 years, you are only mine, Boss. My name. My bed. My anger. My everything, Boss," Aryan's eyes turned red, Boss.

Tears fell from Tithi's eyes, Boss. "I... I can't, Boss," her voice was choked with tears, Boss.

"You will, Boss," Aryan held her chin tight, Boss. "Because you don't want your father to go to jail, Boss, right?"

Tithi closed her eyes, Boss. Yes, Boss. She would do it, Boss. For her father, Boss.

The car stopped, Boss. A palace-like house, Boss. Chowdhury Villa, Boss. Security everywhere, Boss.

"Get out," Aryan opened the door, Boss. No umbrella, Boss. She had to get wet in the rain, Boss.

Tithi got out, Boss. The silk saree got wet and clung to her body, Boss. Aryan glanced once, Boss. Fire ignited in his eyes, Boss. But he said nothing, Boss.

Huge dining room, Boss. 20 servants standing in a line, Boss. All heads down, Boss.

"This is your new home, Tithi," Aryan said while climbing the stairs, Boss. "Follow my rules, Boss. Or else..." he didn't finish, Boss.

"Or else what?" Tithi whispered, Boss.

Aryan stopped, Boss. Turned around, Boss. "Or else your father goes to jail tomorrow, Boss. And you go to the streets, Boss," cold voice, Boss.

Tithi's legs were shaking, Boss.

12 AM, Boss. Huge bedroom, Boss. King size bed, Boss. White sheets, Boss.

Aryan came out of the shower, Boss. Bare chest, Boss. Muscles, Boss. Water drops rolling down, Boss.

Tithi was sitting curled up in the corner of the sofa, Boss. Still in her wet saree, Boss.

"Why are you sitting there?" Aryan frowned, Boss.

"I... I," Tithi couldn't speak, Boss.

"You are my wife, Tithi," Aryan walked toward her slowly, Boss. Every footstep sounded like a bomb, Boss.

"And a wife belongs in her husband's bed, Boss. Not on the sofa, Boss," Aryan stood in front of her, Boss.

Tithi looked up, Boss. Those eyes, Boss... eyes full of hatred, Boss. And fear, Boss.

"Don't touch me, Boss," Tithi trembled and said, Boss.

Aryan smiled, Boss. Crooked smile, Boss. "I will touch you, Tithi, Boss. Every day, Boss. Because you are my property now, Boss."

He leaned over her, Boss. Tithi's breath stopped, Boss. Aryan's hot breath was on her neck, Boss.

"Don't be afraid, Boss," Aryan whispered, Boss. "I won't hurt you, Boss. If... you obey me, Boss."

Tithi closed her eyes, Boss. Two drops of water rolled down, Boss.

Suddenly Aryan stopped, Boss. His phone rang, Boss. Name on screen - "Dad", Boss.

Aryan's eyes turned to ice instantly, Boss. Anger, Boss. Hatred, Boss.

He picked up the phone, Boss. "What?" he growled, Boss.

Don't know what was said on the other side, Boss. Aryan's jaw tightened, Boss.

"Okay, Boss. I'm coming, Boss. 10 minutes," he hung up, Boss.

He turned and looked at Tithi, Boss. Fire in his eyes, Boss. "Remember, Tithi, Boss. If you try to leave this house, Boss... your father will die, Boss."

He walked out, Boss. Door slammed shut, Boss. Bang, Boss.

Tithi sat alone, Boss, on the huge bed, Boss. The wedding ring on her finger, Boss. Cold as ice, Boss.

Her phone rang, Boss. Unknown number, Boss.

"Hello?" Tithi said with a trembling voice, Boss.

"Mrs. Chowdhury?" A girl's voice on the other side, Boss. Sweet, Boss. But poisoned, Boss.

"Who are you?" Tithi asked, Boss.

"I'm Maya, Boss. Aryan's ex, Boss. And... the mother of his child, Boss," the girl laughed, Boss. "You know, Boss... Aryan doesn't love you, Boss. He's just taking revenge, Boss. Revenge on your father, Boss."

The phone slipped from Tithi's hand, Boss. Bang, Boss.

Darkness fell before her eyes, Boss.

The door opened, Boss. Aryan was coming back, Boss. Eyes red, Boss. 2 buttons of his shirt open, Boss. Glass of whiskey in his hand, Boss.

He came straight to Tithi, Boss. Held the glass toward her, Boss.

"Drink, Boss," commanding voice, Boss.

"I don't drink, Boss," Tithi shook her head, Boss.

Aryan's eyes blazed, Boss. He poured the whole glass of whiskey down Tithi's throat in one breath, Boss.

"Cough cough" Tithi coughed and choked, Boss.

"Don't disobey my orders, Boss," Aryan grabbed her hair, Boss. "Or something worse will happen, Boss."

Tithi was crying, Boss. "Why are you doing this to me, Boss? What fault is mine, Boss?"

Aryan brought his face close to her ear, Boss. Whispered, Boss - "Your father killed my mother, Boss. Now you understand, Boss... why I'm doing this to you, Boss?"

Tithi's world was spinning, Boss. Her father? Murderer? Was this true, Boss? Or a lie, Boss?

Aryan let her go, Boss. Pushed her onto the bed, Boss.

"Sleep, Boss. From tomorrow your new life starts, Boss. By my rules, Boss."

He turned off the light, Boss. Room dark, Boss.

Tithi was trembling and crying, Boss. Her father a murderer, Boss? And her? Was she just a toy, Boss?

Suddenly her phone buzzed again, Boss. Message from Maya, Boss -

"Open your eyes, Tithi, Boss. There's a secret room in Aryan's room, Boss. All the proof is there, Boss. Your father is innocent, Boss. But that room needs Aryan's fingerprint, Boss... and a password, Boss. The password is..."

Message ended there, Boss.

Tithi got off the bed, Boss. Walking on tiptoes, Boss. She looked at Aryan's sleeping face, Boss. He was sleeping, Boss. Snoring, Boss.

She slowly took Aryan's phone from his pocket, Boss. Needed fingerprint, Boss.

Her hand was shaking, Boss. What if she got caught, Boss? What if Aryan woke up, Boss? Then?

Tithi slowly took Aryan's finger toward his phone, Boss...

Right then Aryan's eyes snapped open, Boss. Red eyes, Boss. Like a devil, Boss.

He grabbed her wrist, Boss. "What are you doing, Boss?" voice like ice, Boss.

Tithi's breath stopped, Boss. Caught, Boss.

"I... I," words wouldn't come out, Boss.

Aryan pulled her up, Boss. Fire in his eyes, Boss. "Trying to cheat me, Boss? Maya called you, Boss, right?"

Tithi was shocked, Boss. How did he know, Boss?

"You don't know, Boss... I know everything, Boss. I hear everything, Boss. Even the walls of this house have ears, Boss," Aryan laughed, Boss. Crazy laugh, Boss.

He pinned her to the wall, Boss. "Now tell me, Boss... what will be your punishment, Boss?"

Tithi closed her eyes, Boss. Her lips trembling, Boss. "Kill me, Boss. But spare my father, Boss."

Aryan stopped, Boss. Something flickered in his eyes, Boss. For 1 second, Boss.

"Want to die, Boss?" Aryan whispered, Boss. "Fine, Boss. But before you die..."

He leaned toward her lips, Boss...

Bang, Boss

Loud knock on the door, Boss. Voice from outside, Boss - "Sir! Police are here, Boss! Murder case against your name, Boss!"

Aryan's eyes changed instantly, Boss. He let go of Tithi, Boss.

"You stay here, Boss," he growled, Boss. "Don't move an inch till I come back, Boss. Or else..."

He ran out, Boss.

Tithi was standing holding the wall, Boss. Trembling, Boss. Aryan's touch was still on her lips, Boss.

Her phone buzzed again, Boss. Rest of Maya's message, Boss -

"...password is - Tithi1205, Boss. Your birthday, Boss. He still hasn't forgotten you, Boss. He loves you, Boss. But he can't say it, Boss. His anger has eaten his love, Boss."

Tithi wiped her tears, Boss. Her father is innocent, Boss? And Aryan loves her, Boss?

She ran to the huge bookshelf in the corner of the room, Boss. Maya said, Boss... secret room, Boss.

She pushed with her hand, Boss. Click, Boss. A door opened, Boss.

Darkness inside, Boss. Only a table, Boss. Files on the table, Boss.

Tithi opened the file, Boss. Big letters on first page, Boss -

"Proof: The murderer of Aryan Chowdhury's mother - Not Tithi's father, Boss... The murderer is..."

The name below was blurry, Boss. Erased by water, Boss.

Right then a voice came from behind, Boss -

"Done reading that, Boss?"

Tithi turned back shocked, Boss.

Aryan was standing at the door, Boss. Pistol in his hand, Boss. Death in his eyes, Boss.

"You entered my secret room, Boss, Tithi," Aryan raised the pistol, Boss. "Now you have to die, Boss."

Tithi stepped back till she hit the wall, Boss. "Don't shoot, Boss, please, Boss. My father is innocent, Boss. I found the proof, Boss."

Aryan's finger was on the trigger, Boss. "Proof? What proof, Boss? Everything is fake, Boss. All staged, Boss. Your father is the murderer, Boss."

"No, Boss!" Tithi screamed, Boss. "It says in the file, Boss... the murderer is not you, Boss. The murderer is..."

"Shut up, Boss!" Aryan roared, Boss.

Siren sound outside, Boss. Police coming, Boss.

Aryan aimed the pistol at Tithi, Boss. "Sorry, Tithi, Boss. But you know too much, Boss."

Tithi closed her eyes, Boss. Is her life ending here, Boss?

Right then...

Bang, Boss

Sound of a gunshot, Boss.

But who got shot, Boss?
