His Cruel Revenge

Chapter 7

Riya's POV

I can’t believe this. He let me go just like that. Without doing anything to me. But I am glad he did.

I was so scared when he said those words to me in the dinning room. I really thought he will force me to do it. I even had dream about him forcing me in front of his friends.

That’s when he woke me up and when my eyes locked with his, my heart dropped. I started begging and luckily he didn’t do anything.

But I don’t know what he will make me do now. I didn’t know what I was agreeing at first when I said I will do everything he says but his smirk took my breath away. It developed a new fear in my heart.

But the way he was hovering over me, I couldn’t help but nod my head when he asked me for the confirmation. I feared that if I say no he will do something to me and I have had enough today. I don’t have energy to bear anything more.

Just for today, I wanted to be weak if it would help me to escape what he was planning for me just for some time. I did whatever he told me and thankfully he let me go.

I was walking in the hallway, going towards my room when I heard sound of someone’s shouting. To be specific, a woman's voice.

I made my way downstairs. Her voice is getting louder by each moment. I reached living room and my heart sank upon seeing the scene in front of me.

Martha was holding a woman in her mid twenties. She looks drunk and is shouting on the top of her lungs.

But she is not the one who caused the tears to fill inside my eyes but the scared little girl standing few steps away from the drunkard girl.

Ava.

Tears are flowing down from her eyes.

“You are a mistake. I hate you, you should die” she shouted and Ava flinched in fear. I don’t know who this woman is and why she is saying this but her words triggered some horrible memories.

My fear increased tenfold and without thinking even for a second I ran towards Ava and hugged her from side, covering her small figure with mine.

Sharp pain shot through side of my head and I hissed in pain, when the vas hit me using which that woman intended to hit Ava.

Ava screamed loudly and started crying loudly in my arm.

“Who the hell are you?” that woman's voice boomed. But I didn’t pay any attention to her. My entire focus is on Ava who is crying hysterically in my arms.

I was checking whether she got hurt anywhere when I heard, “What the f**k” someone cursed and in the next second I was pushed away from Ava by Noah.

“Are you hurt anywhere?” he asked, checking Ava, to see whether she got hurt or not. But Ava continued to cry.

“Noah take her to her room” I heard Black's commanding voice and turned around to find very furious Black dragging that woman to a room. She is struggling to get out of Black's grip shouting profanities.

They entered inside a room.

“Are you okay dear” I heard concerned voice of Martha.

“Don’t cry sweetheart, everything is fine” my eyes fell on Noah who is going up with an crying Ava in his arms.

Rick is also following him. Both of them look worried about Ava.

“Go with them and please help them in stopping Ava's crying” I said to Martha.

“But….”

“Go I am fine” I said in my cracking voice. My head is aching a lot but I am more worried about Ava. She must be very scared.

Martha nodded her head hesitantly and left. I tried to get up from the floor. I could just take two steps when a wave of pain hit me. I was about to fall down when two firm arms wrapped around me and supported me.

I looked up to find the same man who came to pool side with Black in the afternoon. I don’t know his name yet.

“Thank you” I said trying to move away from him but he didn’t let me go.

“Come here” he said and made me sit on the couch and sat down beside me. Only now I noticed a first aid kit in his hand.

“It will hurt a bit” he said and started cleaning my wound.

“I can do it…. Aah…” I screamed in pain.

“I can see that” he said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes but didn’t say anything.

“Ahh..” I hissed again.

“You are acting like a kid, why did you even take the hit when you can’t even bear this much huh? “ he said irritatingly.

“so should I have let Ava get hurt?” I retorted back.

“I am sure Ava wouldn’t have whined like you while getting her wound treated. You are weaker than her” he said mockingly.

“You.. you… you are very bad. How can you say something like this huh? I am not weak. If you get hurt than you will understand how much it is hurting” I said completely pissed by his words.

“All done” he said suddenly and I frowned.

“What?”

“I am done dressing your wound. You are really like a five year old kid. Just a little distraction and you forget all about your pain” he said with a smile on his face.

“Thank you” I said slowly, “but I am not a kid” I added feeling a little offended by his words.

"Yes, you are” he said pinching my nose and burst into laughter. Involuntarily, a smile made its way on my lips. But it faded the moment my eyes fell on Black who came out of the room.

His intense eyes made me gulp and my heart beat raised. The man sitting beside me noticed changes in my behavior and looked behind.

“how is Mia?” he asked.

“better now, I told her to sleep” Black replied. Oh so that woman’s name is Mia.

Black once again looked in my direction then left.

“If you don’t mind can I ask you something?” I asked.

“If I mind it I won’t answer” he said looking at me.

“what is her relationship to Ava?” I asked hesitantly.

“She is her mother” he said. I was about to ask something when he told me, “no more questions. Go back to your room” he said sternly.

I sighed and got up from the place. I turned to leave. But after taking few steps I stopped and turned to face him.

He raised a brow confusingly.

“What’s your name?” I asked.

“Mark” he replied. I nodded my head and left.

I entered inside my room. I wanted to go and check on Ava but knowing Noah is with her or maybe Black is there as well, I couldn’t gather enough courage.

I lay down on the bed closing my eyes, I drifted off to sleep.

And once again horrible memories of my past hunted me in my dreams.

Black's POV

The scene keeps repeating in my mind again and again.

‘Why did she do that? Why did she took the hit for Ava?’ these questions keep repeating in my mind again and again.

Yesterday Ava got very scared because of what happened. She cried for so long before falling asleep in my arms.

I can’t imagine what I would have done if Ava was the one who got hurt. I am grateful towards Riya for saving Ava.

I love my little princess so much, I can’t bear even a single tear in her eyes. I have practically raised her since her birth. You must be wondering why?

Mia fell in love with a man. Despite my thousands of warnings, she loved him too much. That man is nation's famous playboy. And after having his fun time with my sister he left her.

I so badly wanted to kill him but couldn’t as he is one powerful person. Mia got pregnant with his child. I told her to abort it but she refused saying he might want her if she gave birth to his child.

But once again her hopes were shattered when he refused to accept her and child. Apparently, when Mia had informed him about her pregnancy, he had clearly told her that he doesn’t want a child. But she still gave birth to Ava.

Mia started neglecting Ava. She started getting drunk almost everyday. I felt bad looking at her condition but she brought it upon herself.

For her sake, I tried to talk with that bastered. I even suggested that I will give him whatever he wants but he straightforwardly refused as he wants to enjoy his life as a playboy. He have no intention of being in relationship, and spend his entire life with a single woman.

And now my sister is heartbroken.

In the morning I went to talk with her. I told her to get her s**ts together and move on but what she told me put me in a difficult position.

Flashback

“Till when you are going to hurt yourself for that bastard huh? He doesn’t care about you. So move on, find a nice man and stop causing trouble after getting drunk like this.” I shouted at her.

What she did to Ava in her drunken state is still burning me from inside. If she was not my sister, she must be buried six feet under for her actions.

“I can’t, why don’t you understand it. I can’t get over him. I love him so much. But you won’t understand how I am feeling because you never loved anyone. The day you will fall in love, you will understand, what kind of storm is going on inside my heart” she shouted back.

Her voice cracked a bit in the end and tears started flowing down from her eyes.

I wrapped my hands around her to give some comfort. When I felt that she has stopped crying, I pulled away.

“If you can’t control yourself then don’t come here after getting drunk. I have ordered the guards to not let you enter if you are drunk” I told her. She looked at me in disbelief.

“How can you…. You are pushing me away for that as***le's child” she said in anger, accusingly.

“Ava is my niece and I am doing this for her safety. I don’t want her to get hurt because you can’t get over your stupid love” I said sternly and turned around to leave.

There is no point in talking to her. I held the knob and opened the door. Just as I was about to step out of the room her voice stopped me,

“I want to see him suffer”

I looked at her in confusion with a raised brow.

“just like how I am suffering, I want to see him suffer as well. Then I will move on from him. Why it should be only me to feel s**ty. I want to see him burn in the same hell, I am burning”

Her words shocked me.

“Can you do that for me? Can you make him suffer just like I am suffering?” she asked.

“Are you sure you love him? Because to me it seems you are just obsessed with him because he rejected you, and you can’t accept it?” I asked her.

I am really pissed because of her.

“whatever, I just want to see him suffer. Then I will move on” she said with determination.

“will you be able to bear it, see him in love with someone else?”

She thought for a minute before nodding her head. Without saying anything to her I left.

Flashback ends.

I am thinking about what I should do. If it is the only way to help Mia, I will do that. I am pacing in my room thinking about what I should do when suddenly an Idea hit me.

I smirked and get out of my room and started walking in the direction of Riya’s room. It’s time to use my new toy.

I entered inside her room without knocking. She is sitting on the couch, reading something. The moment her eyes fell on me, she stood up. I saw fear covering her features.

Great, she should be scared.

I sat on the couch and gestured her to sit. She sat down on the couch in front of me.

“Yesterday, you agreed to do everything I say” I reminded. Her face became pale, but nonetheless she nodded her head. Good, at least she is not denying it.

“I have a work for you” I said calmly.

“What is it?” she asked fiddling with her fingers nervously.

“It’s simple, you have to make someone fall deeply in love with you” I told her and her eyes widened in shock.

“What? Have you lost your mind? How can you ask me to do something like this. I won’t” she said glaring at me. All the nervousness and fear are gone from her face, replacing it with anger.

“You haven’t even heard me completely. I hate those who cut me when I am talking” I said coldly. Fear flash in her eyes for a moment before she hid it.

“ I wasn’t asking you, I am telling you to do this. You have no choice” I commanded leaving no space for her to argument.

“and after making him fall for you, you will break his heart”.

“You are sick. You enjoy people’s miseries” she said. Her voice is laced with disgust and anger.

“I don’t care about what you think of me. Just do what you are told when I am telling you nicely. Otherwise I have other ways to make you agree. Trust me, you won’t like them” I threatened.

She took a deep breath and fisted her hands on her lap, when they started shaking a bit, because of fear.

“Why are you doing this?” she asked. Her eyes are throwing daggers in my direction. I want to laugh at her angry yet helpless expression. She sometimes look adorable.

“You don’t have to know that. All you have to do is to use your charms to make him fall for you” I said in a bored tone.

“you can tell anyone else to do that, why me?” she said. She is right I can.

“But not everyone is good in charming man. I know you used to use your looks to help your father to gain benefits” I said.

Hurt flash in her eyes and she bit on her lower lip. F**k, they look inviting.

After thinking for a while she said, “okay, who is it and how am I supposed to do it?” she asked.

“I will give you entire details in the evening” I said and got up from my place. She also got up.

I was about to leave when she asked,

“what if instead of making him fall for me, I fell in love with him?”

Her words stir something in my heart. My jaw clenched and hands balled in fist due to anger. My blood started boiling in anger.

I walked in her direction. She started going back. Fear is visible on her face. I could even hear her heart beat when her back touched the wall. I placed my hands either side of her, caging her in between me and the wall.

“What did you say?” I asked through gritted teeth.

“What if I fell in love with…” she couldn’t complete as I held her jaw tightly.

“Don’t even think about using this situation as an escape from me. You can’t fall for him” I said and leaned closer to her. Her breath hitched, she is getting uncomfortable because of proximity.

Tears filled inside her beautiful eyes. But I can clearly see anger on her face.

“So don’t think about falling for that a****le” I said and leaned closer to her ear.

“Because you belong to me” She shivered when my lips touched her earlobe.

“I am not an object Mr. Stone” she snapped back in anger. I rested my hands on her waist and pulled her closer to me.

“Yes, you are my object, my toy to use as I please” saying these words I smashed my lips on her soft ones, to show her, to whom she belongs.
