Chapter 59

Tanvi's P.O.V.

It has been a day, or a week or a month. God only knows. But I know one thing for sure, that every second I spend here is like a year for me. After the bomb he dropped, I started laughing on his face and he was so pissed, he slapped me right across the face and told his minions to take care of me.

By taking care I'm sure he wouldn't have meant using me as their punching bag because that's exactly what they have been doing since then. The two men take chances as they punch me and kick me.

"Well, well well, seems like my favourite human is awake", the cause my my pain said with a sinister smile.

"Enjoying the warm welcome these people have been giving you?"

"I wouldn't call it a welcome"

"The money hasn't been transferred yet bitch", he said as he struck me across the face.

"What the fuck do I do, you dumb bitch!", I spat out the blood on his shoes.

He flicked his fingers and I heard some commotion and realised that one of his minion has got a tripod stand with a video camera attached to it.

"Maybe, I'll use technique no. 2", he said as he started the recording and did some action and suddenly my wrists were untied and I was forced to stand on my legs but could barely stand properly and then they started using me as a punching bag once again.

After doing enough make-up for me, that man, held me by my hair, pulling on the roots and pulled me near the camera.

"Do you see this, yeah, that's your wife, if you want to see her alive, send the money as soon as possible", he said and then let go of me as I fell down.

Arjun's P.O.V.

Two days. It's been two days and we still haven't gotten any clue. When we traced the number plate that was in the camera, we found out that it was a temporary number plate and that they had changed it while they moved ahead. Meaning we had no clue where they had taken her.

My phone pinged and I glared at it. Why did I even bother getting it repaired. It was a message from an unknown number. More like a video. What the actual hell!

As I downloaded the video, the guys gathered around me as we watched the video.

It was a video of them abusing my wife. My eyes blurred as I watched them beat the living shit out of her. I started crying as I saw the video. And then my office door slammed open and in walked my mother-in-law along with my father-in-law.

"It's about time I told you something"

"What do you mean?", Sanjay asked.

"It means that we know who kidnapped her"

"And you're telling us today? After two days?", I asked in an angry tone. Why the fuck are these her parents.

"We got a call from him today, once again, he threatened me and sent me the same video that you were sent, I've had enough", her mom said as her eyes glistened with tears.

"Sit down all of you", mom said as she wiped her eyes and then sighed out.

"It all started when I was 21, I was already engaged to your father Sanjay, and we were about to get married after we graduated, there was this guy in my college who was obsessed with me, even though I had rejected him quite a few times, he didn't seem to get a hint, to add fuel to this problem, my sister loved that stalker. Just how she managed to fall for that asshole, God only knows!

"One day, it seemed he had had enough, he kidnapped me, held me as a hostage for two days and then when I still didn't agree to his proposal, he raped me", mom said as she started crying and my father-in-law hugged her.

"No matter how much I yelled, he forced himself on me and when he was satisfied, he left the place, he fled away from the place, leaving me in that stranded place with several injuries

"After Raghav(tanvi's father) finally found, they immediately transferred me to the hospital and I suffered from PTSD, I was scared to be alone with anyone, especially men, I-I wouldn't even let my mom touch me", she said as she sniffled.

"After some time Raghav and I were married and we found out that I was pregnant," that was when she finally lost it and started crying.

"Sh, it's ok if you don't wanna tell them, they'll understand", my father-in-law said as he hugged her.

"No, I need to, I've held it in for too long that it hurts me"and then she turned to look at Sanjay with guilt filled eyes.

"Raghav isn't your father Sanjay, that man was your father but we tried to do everything to not let you feel like that-"

"And you did everything to make Tanvi feel like she isn't one of us", Sanjay yelled. Not at all affected by the truth that was just revealed.

"We didn't do it willingly, I didn't slap her willingly!"

"After I gave birth to you, I was still recovering, you helped me recover, one night when we were going to the hospital for a check-up on my mental health I heard a baby cry, it was an adorable little soul that was in a basket, your father immediately picked the baby in his hands and let's just say there was a connection that clicked between the baby and us, it felt like the gods above wanted us to meet this baby and adopt her", my jaw dropped down on the floor as I put two and two together.

"Tanvi is adopted but we didn't want to ever make her feel like that, we always loved you both the same, Raghav even seemed to love Tanvi more because she was just like that, always these doe eyes that made anyone fall in love with her"

"It was when she turned fifteen, that things went haywire, because that was the first time in sixteen years that I got a call from him, he wanted his son back, he wanted to ruin my life for hiding this truth from him, from you"

"When we outright declined, he said if he can't have his son, we can't live our lives peacefully with our daughter, that we had to abuse her, if we didn't work according to him, he would kill her, he threatened us, when we ignored his call, he striked for the first time, remember when dad met with an accident Sanjay? That was his doing, it was his way of informing us that he could do anything and that was when I started becoming a bad mother"

"I wouldn't even call myself a mother after the misery I've put her through, mothers are supposed to love their kids and not hit then daily", she said as she stared at her hands.

"Five years ago when I had forced her to come back to India it was for her own benefit, he was planning to do something to her, he had given me hints and I thought the best thing for her would be to come back, I'm sorry Arjun for what I did", she said as she held my hands in hers.

"If there's one thing I'm happy about is that she married you, I had told her that she has no say in this marriage, that she'll be forced to marry the guy I chose for her, but then I realized that you both had a history, a history that I had ruined

"He's ruled my life enough, I can't handle it anymore, it's still a miracle that Tanvi calls me her mom, I would've run away from my mom if she did anything like this to me"

"And I think I know where he's held her captive, once I saw the video, I think it is the place where he held me captive, I think it is that place only", she said as she wiped her tears.

As she told us the place, I tried to act as if the information she told me didn't bother me but it did. She's gone through so much. She still has this tough façade on her face. It was as if she didn't have a breakdown right now.

"Sanjay, are you okay?", I said as I placed a hand over his tense shoulder.

"I'm speechless, I don't know what to say to my mom, or my dad or Tanvi, is it bad that I feel relieved that my father is Raghav and not that son of a bitch! Because once I get my hands on him, I'm surely going to kill that son of a bitch for putting my family through so much!", Sanjay yelled as he clenched his fists.

"We found the place", my personal investigator told me and we soon gathered our weapons as we assembled in the cars. That son of a bitch is going to regret for whatever he did to Tanvi.

"Call the police, call for a backup, that bloody bastard is as good as dead now!", I said as we started driving to that location.
