My Husband is a Mafia

Heartless Or Broken?

Ranveer's Point Of View:

I suddenly got interested in this. This could be my Trump card. A business smile came up on my face as I asked her,

"You were in very good terms with him, is it?", I asked as she merely nodded. I could feel that the topic hurt her much more than she was showing. I felt guilty for a moment but then immediately shoved it off as quickly as it had come.

"Good. Then you can help me this also.", I said thinking about the moment when Randhir would happily leave me and the search for me.

I immediately picked up my phone and called Vinod in happiness.

"Hello. Send my location to Randhir. I want him to catch me.", I said fast.

"But why?", He asked frantically.

"Because I am saying so.", I said and hung up the call. It was time to end this once and for all. He will leave me forever and that will release me of lifelong tension.

"But-", Devika tried to say but I cut her off.

"No buts.. please help me with this she you can live with your beloved for the rest of your life in peace. I will Not interfere.", I said hastily with glee.

"But I do not want to be with him!", She said in a hushed tone.

"I am asking you to. Just do as I say for God's sake. I want to be free and you are the only person who can help me with it.", I said in an unnatural pleading voice.

Devika looked at me with a renewed loath.

"Have you got a heart?", She asked in a hushed voice as tears iched her eyes.

"No.", I replied truthfully.

"Do as I tell you Devika or I will make sure you do it.", I said in a commanding voice. She has to do what I ask her to. There is no running away.

She exhaled a deep breath.

"Fine.", She said surrendering. I loved it when she surrendered especially after last night.

Whenever it came to my business, there was no care for anyone.. absolutely no one.

I laid back in peace. Finally, this nonsense will be over and I will be happy to go around in peace. I knew the police officer or better the suspended police officer, Randhir. He was as cunning as a wolf and would proclaim the greatest gangster of the city dead without regret.

Devika sat beside me silently.

Did I feel bad for her? Not really.

I mean I was just being a good love guru and getting her the man she loved. In any case, I could find many other women for my time pass.

'Aarti being one of them, forever.', I thought with a smirk.

Just then my phone rung disturbing my thoughts. It was an unknown number.

"Ranveer?", asked the deep male voice.

"Yes. And who are you?", I asked with a smile, I knew the voice well. I had heard it giving fake interviews on the television so many times.

"Randhir. Police. I heard you have a negotiation, I am up for it. Where are we meeting?", He was a man who spoke to the point. I liked it. After a devil likes another, doesn't it?

I gave him the address as he hung up immediately.

"Your beloved is coming sooner than I expected.", I said looking up at her.

She had tears in her eyes.

"Now, why are you crying? I mean you are going to meet your lover boy. After all a suspended police officer is way better than a gangster. Be happy.", I said with a smile.

"Just the way a heartless man is from a man who tries to hide is feeling, Mr. Ranveer Pratap Singh. A heartless man is better than a broken one, isn't it?", She said standing up and walking away to the window.

I just looked at her slim form stand at the window, looking outside.

Why was she behaving like a fool?

I was emancipating her and she was sad about it?!

She must be mad.

I thought and shut my eyes.
