The time passed, Abhiraj had already got the message of their cousins leaving. And now they are alone. After spending some time together Ishika had her last spoon of icecream and said , "Let's go now."

Abhiraj looked at her and then his gaze went towards the icecream that was stuck to the side of her lips and he thought, 'that lucky icecream'

"Wait, you have some icecream on your lips."

"Let me clear it.", Ishika said and was about to wipe the icecream but her movements halted when Abhiraj huskily whispered , "Stop" and pulled her closer by her waist.

He brought his hand near her face but instead of wiping icecream off he started caressing her cheeks and in a blink of eyes his lips were on the icecream sucking off it gently while Ishika's tightly fisted the back of his jacket. His lips moved towards her lips and he started devouring it like his meal while Ishika was trying to match his pace.

A few minutes later he broke the kiss when he felt the tap over his shoulders and muttered caressing the back her neck with his right hand.

"You taste more sweeter than that damn icecream."

Saying this he pulled her closer by the nape taking her into one more heated kiss leaving her complete breathless. Her chest was raising up and down due to the impact, her cheeks reddens while his hold on her tightened taking her into his warm embrace.

"Damn baby! You are addictive..", Abhiraj whispered giving a peck on her lips and she hide herself in his chest in attempt to conceal the redness spread across her face.

Time passed and it's the day before the day of their engagement. Their maternal family had already reached in the morning and other guests will directly appear in their engagement though an hotel is already booked for them near the engagement palace in case they arrive earlier.

~12 PM~

•Rathore Mansion•

Everyone was sitting in the living room laughing and chatting leaving out Abhiraj who was still in the Rathore Empire sorting out his work. The air of the room thickened and became tense when Saloni entered in the room with the cups of tea in her hand.

She placed the tray on the table and passed a cup of tea to her father who was eyeing her movements , "Papa chai."

Her eyes held hope which was crushed badly when kalraj Shekhawat, her father uttered disgustingly, "How can you act normal after destroying Abhiraj's childhood."

"Mum-" , She was cut off by her mother who said, "Mr gyi h teri maa tere liye, Don't address us as your parents. We are ashamed to call you our daughter. We are only here for Abhiraj's engagement, if not for him we wouldn't have showed you our face after what you did."

(Your mother is dead for you.)

"Bhai I accept my mistake. Please ask them to give me a chance.", Saloni turned towards her brother who was feeling bad for her but he can't do anything so he stayed mum.

"That was not a mistake. That was the sin you committed. You brutally killed the innocent soul inside him Saloni. You didn't bother to listen him. Remember I'll not forgive you until he forgives you.", Saying this Kalraj Shekhawat, her father left the living room leaving behind the Rathores and Shekhawats whose eyes were reflecting pain remembering the incident. Saloni fell on the floor crying miserably.

On the other side, Abhiraj was in his office indulged in his work when a knock disturbed him.

•Rathore Empire, headquarters•

"Enter!"

Hearing his cold authoritive voice, an Elite entered inside his cabin with a black file in his hand. Abhiraj leaned against his seat leisurely and commanded, "Speak!". The Elite start speaking after submitting the file to his boss.

"Sir, as you asked these are the details of the heads of security for tomorrow."

"Hmm. Anything else.", Abhiraj asked while checking out the file thoroughly.

"Yes sir we have tightly secured Ranisa's all social accounts as you ordered and during this we had found a stalker named Angad. Searching more about him, we found that he is a Playboy who is known to trap girls and then left her after taking their virginity but as per the updated records he is already dead. "

Abhiraj clenched his fist but a smirk crawled across Abhiraj's face when the flashes of yesterday's night incident crossed his mind.

~Flashback~

..Torture warning..

The clock showed 10 PM and the devil aka Abhiraj entered in the basement with his emotionless face on. His eyes were blazing hell fire which made the guards shiver in terror.

"Sir he is in cell no.209.", a trembling voice reached his ears and without caring about it he made his way towards the cell only to see a petite body tied down to the metal chair with his jaw broken and blood oozing out through the cuts made by his men.

A guard dumps icy water on Angad due to which his eyes shot opened and his body shivered in return. He can see a dark handsome hunk through his blurry vision and Panic striked inside him when Abhiraj spoke in his ever menacing voice, "I guess you had a great power nap."

Angad didn't knew what to say so he simply agreed with him and a dark amusement covered Abhiraj's eyes. He took his seat in front of him like a King which he was and asked, "Do you know why are you here?"

"Because I proposed Ishika.", Angad broken whispered echoed in the cell and Abhiraj snapped. He grabbed him by his jaw and squeezed it tightly muttering, "Dare you call my woman by her name again , I'll cut your filthy tongue out. Understand." to which he frantically nodded and tried to free himself from him. Abhiraj left his jaw looking dead into his eyes and whispered, "And No you aren't here for that. Guess again you have 3 seconds."

Meanwhile Abhiraj stood up and walked towards the weapon table. He took a sharp edged knife start twirling it around his fingers and turned towards him uttering, "Your time is over. Let me tell you. You are here because you made my queen feared me. Because of you I saw her beautiful blue orbs carrying an emotion which I never wanted to see. And you know what I didn't like that a bit. What you did was a crime and you are now going to pay for that."

Saying this he stabbed the knife in his thighs, twisting it cruelly and a loud screamed echoed from the cell scaring the other prisoners. He then slowly start chopping off  his fingers like an onion. "My chopping skills are good. Aren't they?", Abhiraj asked him with a sadistic glint in his eyes.

When he didn't answer him, he took the peeler in his hand and start peeling his skin like a god damn potato. Angad was screaming like a hyena but did he care. Nah.

Suddenly his phone went off and he knew Ishika was calling him as it's their night talk time. He ordered the guard to tape his mouth and few seconds after attended the call.

"Hey Love. If you don't mind can I call you later, I am a bit busy right now." , This was the first sentence of him and Ishika understood that he is very busy.

"Oh it's okay. I am sorry, I disturbed you. Call me back when you are free." , Ishika spoke from the other side making him frown.

"First what did I said about saying sorry and second you can never disturb me." , He had strictly asked her to never say sorry unless it's really her fault and this isn't.

'Your night time solely belongs to her and here this fucker taking what hers. Is that fair??' , his conscience asked him. His thoughts only enraged him more than he already was. He came out of his thought when he heard her saying,

"Okay okay. Finish your work and give me a call.", And she hangs up.

Abhiraj eyes now turned pitch black and the next thing is he took out his gun and shoot his both knee caps. "I guess even god doesn't wants you that's why he is delaying your death. I ain't going to give you an easy death knowing I had turned down my queen just to take care of you."

He twirled the knife in his hand and said, "You not only stalked my queen but also tried to drug her once. What do you think I should do with you."

He then asked his guards to bring some spices till then he started carving pictures on his skin. "I always like to do painting but due to my busy schedule I couldn't make time, but people like you helped me lot in this matter." , Saying this he draw devil's horn on him and start writing his name on him.

The pool of blood seeps through the floor which was already tainted in the blood of many people. He rubbed the spices over his cuts slowly and a loud scream erupted from his mouth which was like a music to Abhiraj's ears. He then slowly grind the knife in his iris. Later he plucked them out and forced them into his mouth securing it with tapes.

"Eat it and If you throw them out the next time you are going to have that small dick in your mouth. Clear." , Terror seized him at his words and he wasn't getting unconscious due to the drug injected in him. New guards who can't afford this scene ran out like the next one is them.

His torture last only 2 hours and he finally finished him by saying, "Feed it to my piranhas."

The guards who were still standing in the room just nodded positively because they were damn frightened to death from Abhiraj and was ready to puke their guts out witnessing the body infront of him covered in his own puke and urine.

~ Flashback ended~

Abhiraj snapped out of his thoughts when he heard his phone ringing. He picked up the phone when he saw the name displayed was of his nanu, Kalraj Singh Shekhawat.

"I see you are quite busy young man. You didn't even come to meet me." , His voice was stern but it was still a complaint to him.

"You didn't informed me you are coming. How come I know you are in Rathore Mansion.", Abhiraj said while putting his phone to speaker, signing some documents at the same time.

"You are saying like your personal security team standing at the airport didn't inform you about me coming."

"They informed. You didn't. Okay I'll see you in 2 hours.", Saying this he hangs up the call when Surya gestured him about his next meeting with the Russian Mafia.

A lot of people owe him a lot and Russian Mafia is being one of them. He saved the heir of Russian Mafia since then they are indebted to him for forever.

•Mehra House•

"Bhabhi you know that I don't like Capsicum still you made it." , Ishika made faces looking at the sabji in front of her.

"Ishu this is good for your health. Now don't whine and silently finish your lunch." , Pooja said strictly to Ishika who was busy in glaring at the sabji.

"Ishu finish it then we'll have your favourite butterscotch icecream." , The person sitting beside her whispered slowly in her ears and a grinned covered her face.

"Thank you Nanu, you are the best." , She responded while eating the sabji fastly.

"Ishu slowly, you'll chocked on your food.", Dhairya, her bhaiya uttered in a worried tone.

"I am fine Bhai. Don't worry.", And just after this statement, the piece of capsicum stucked in her throat and she started coughing while everyone was passing her a ' told you' look.

Amyra passed her the water while Her Nani gently rubbed her back. She gulped down the water before muttering, "See, that's why I don't like Capsicum. I will not shocked if I die eating this vegetable."

Yash who heard her smacked her head hard and a wince left from her mouth. "Talk like this again and I'll complain it to your Abhi.", Yash uttered while passing her a hard glare for uttering such nonsense.

Ishika's eyes widened hearing his statement. She knew Abhiraj would get mad if he heard her saying about her death and the last thing she wanted an angry Abhiraj just on the day before her Engagement.

"No.. no.. Bhai. I will not say anything like this but don't tell this about Abhi.", Everyone on the table was looking at her in amusement.

"Okay guys enough. Ishu have you completed your shopping for tomorrow and booked makeup artist. , Hashita asked her.

"Yes mumma my shopping is all done and no I don't need those makeup artists when I have Kiara , two crazy bestfriends , and 3 bhabhis plus i don't trust those artists." , Ishika replied her mother and all the young ladies shared a grin hearing her.

"That's okay and just for your information Damini aunty and her daughter Karishma is coming tomorrow." , Her mother informed her sadly to which she shrieked loudly, "Wait, why? Who had invited her."

Damini is the typical neighbour of Mehras who is jealous of them and when she daily saw the luxurious cars infront of their doorstep, her jealousy flared up. She somehow came to know about Ishika engagement so she manipulated Shushma.

"Ask your dadi.", Harshita said while giving a smirk to her mother in law, Sushma who knew now she was in deep trouble.

"You know their bitchy attitude and still you invited them. It's like aik karela duje neem Chadha. Care to explain your actions dadi ." Ishika questions her with her soft brown eyebrow raised at her.

"Umm you know she came to know about it blackmailed me to expose your relation in the public.", Sushma uttered looking here and there to avoid her grand daughter intense glare.

"She only knew about my engagement and it's private, she didn't have any knowledge of Abhi is the man who is getting engaged to me", Ishika retorted.

"I am sorry.", Sushma said gloomily.

"Don't be but remember if she tried anything tomorrow then I'll be not responsible for my actions. " , Saying this she stormed out of the dining room to get some alone time along with fresh air to digest the news.
