His eyes understands my pain even in silence. A Forced Love-Marriage (To Beast) By Nidhi.

***********

I head out to kitchen, while yawning and turn the kettle on. I decided to cook breakfast today as this was my last day with Abhi and Jan I want to make it memorable for them. In this rush I forgot to buy a goodbye gift for them. It was so quite in kitchen that every single movement of mine makes a clanging sound. I blasted the speaker and played my favorite song. I was making paneer vegetable sandwich (Indian cottage cheese sand which).As it is rich in protein and good for health. I walked to the fridge and took out the vegetables. I chopped the onion and other vegetables finely and in a large bowl I mixed everything. After following all steps I turn off the sandwich maker and taking the sandwich out I placed it into three plates. Inhaling the aroma of delicious food my stomach rumbled in response. Abhi started laughing making me blush slightly.

"Don't mess with hungry girl." And we three laughed hysterically. We all sat down at the breakfast bar and started eating. I know this moment will never come back as this was my last here. I blew the steam and took a sip of my tea. Yummy!

"Are you fine Nal" Jan glimpses my face.

"Yes" I say bit gloomily without looking in her eyes this was a habit of mine I will avoid eye contact when I was lying.

"Don't lie Nal you know you suck at lying" She said taking a sip of tea.

"It looks as if I'm having breakfast with you guys for the last time I will not able to picture this moment again" A tear slipped my eyes my throat was paining.

"There's nothing like that we are always with you" She took a deep breath and pulled me in warm hug I know she was broken inside but she won't show me.

After breakfast I headed upstairs to my room to start packing my stuff. After two hours of struggling what to pack I was done with packing. Yes I packed my wedding dress too which was gifted by Jamarion, I loved that dress and wants to wear same on my wedding day. I huffed a blow and sat down on my bed.

I was feeling bit emotional as today was a big day of my life I'll be tied to a man who helped me at every step my parents has all rights to know about my each step but my fate sealed it. I'll give Mom a ring and chat to her, she and Dad was my will power my greatest support.I dialled mom's number and waited patiently for her to answer.

"Hello Mom how are you?" I tried to sound strong.

"Hello beta (baby) I'm fine" just listening my mother's it voice sweeps all my worries away.

"Mom I.. I mi.. miss you" I said holding my sobs.

"What happen beta (baby) everything is fine? If there is anything wrong then tells me I will come there, has anyone troubled you?"

"No Mom it's just I'm missing you all" A slow sobs escapes me.

"Baby we miss you every day, it feels that the candor of home has gone after you left." My skin prickle listening her cracked voice.

"Ok Mom I gotta go I'll talk to you later." I tried to wrap up the conversation asap, if I'll wait I'll soon burst into tears and I know she can't hold it she will surely come to New York.

"We love you so much my little entertainment takes care of yourself" My mom said to me in low tone.

My lashes were soaked with tears listening her voice, God what I have caught myself into if I had not come here because of my stubbornness, so all this does not happen. My heart dropped to stomach when I thought of my horrifying future, though Rick was a gentleman still I feel negative towards this marriage. I dig my face into pillow and don't know how long I cried.

Ting tong!

I heard the doorbell rang. I slowly open my eyes rushing out of my room I walked glaring towards the door. I opened the door and a tall man catches my eye. He was dressed immaculately in a white shirt and black pants. He offered me a warm smile.

"Hello Mam my name is Daniel, Mr. Night has send me here for cake tasting and design selection." He said kindly.

"Hi, please come inside" I mumble him softly.

It was hard to choose the design for cake I have already chosen the flavor in mind but after struggling for more than an hour I decided to go for soft ruffles cake with a touch of red roses on top along with a pair of swans this four tiered cake gives me a dreamy and fairy feeling.

Today was a chaotic day as Jamarion sends people from different fields. I would have argued to him but it was futile because he thought that I was ready for this forced marriage.

He send two attendants from New York's best parlour. They were giving me different pre-bridal treatments. By one o'clock I was ready. I scan myself in mirror Holy moly! I look utterly fab. They changed me totally.

It was the time to go from here I never waited for this time I hope the time stops here for eternity. Rick holds my hands and squeeze it slightly he was assuring me with a look when-I'm-here-why-to-worry. I feel a slight itching and pain in my scar.

Rick grab my bags and gestured me to walk towards the car I was holding my emotions with lots of effort if I look into Jan eyes I'll definitely burst into tears my inner turmoil was on last urge. I hugged Jan and Abhi knowing it was last time I was seeing them God knows when we will be together I slowly disentangled myself from their arms Jan swipe the last tear from her thumb and reassured me with a warm smile her smile says everything-will-be-fine-soon-dear. I got into the passenger seat and silently cried for minutes. Rick turn on the engine and started driving I look out of window the familiar street was disappearing as the drive goes on. After half an hour of driving as we crackle down the road which connects to airport I saw two black SUV's are following us.

"Rick you notice something" I said hurriedly.

"What" He said calmly his gaze was fixed on the road.

"I.. I think somebody is following us" from side mirror he checked and suddenly a scowl appear on his face.

Rick drove at a deathly high speed. My heart comes to my mouth I was always afraid of speed. I don't know where we were moving. We saw the car was close to our car he hit the accelerator hard now we were moving 140km/h speed.

"Where we are going Rick answer?"

He was about to answer when someone shot our car tire and Rick loses the control. I saw a tree coming near us we were driving in zig zag motion.

"Rick watch out" he open the car door and throw me out and I rolled on the road I saw a stone coming near and everything blacks out.

When I came into my senses I open my eyes with a pound in my head. I run a finger on my head thank god it was not bleeding, somebody was dragging me by hairs I winced in pain when I looked up I was shocked it was Van. My heart completely stops for a moment, my palms were sweaty for a moment I was unable to register what has happened in past few minutes. Then I realized car, crash and gunshot oh shit! Where is rick?

"Where is rick?" I tried to get away from his hold but he holds me in bridal style and started walking towards his private jet. Tears started to roll down he threw me in his private room and speak to attendant in some foreign language which I have no idea about it. The attendant nodded and left. He shifted his gaze and started walking towards me.

"Now you bitch listen to me I was thinking about the changes after we get married." He said in deep and low tone.

"No I will never ever marry you, better I'll die" I almost yell on him bitterly. His expression grows darker and in a minute I was lying on floor. Blinking backs the tears and stinging pain on my right cheek, I moved slowly from my spot.

"Bitch I'll teach you a lesson once we'll move to London." He said and walks out.

I was looking for a way to get out from this plane, but he walks holding a rope in his hand. He grabbed my wrist and pin me on bed and tied my hands on the bed stand. He wrapped a cloth around my mouth.

I was thinking about Van, why he wants to marry me? I mean he was filthy rich he can get models or any actress he want but why me. I look plain and very basic why? My thoughts were ripped in a moment when I heard a Gunshot. When the plane was about to take off I feel a slight turbulence and noises was coming from outside as if someone was beating someone. In a moment my door flew open and reveal the one whom I never have thought in my dreams. He didn't look at me he just untied me and said.

"WHAT.I.SAID.LOVE.DO.NOT.DISOBEY.ME." His tone and face is calm like a silence before storm but his cold crimson red eyes says otherwise.

He tossed me on shoulder and walk towards his car.

Keep loving and cherishing my book love you all. May God bless you all.
