Her Mysterious Lover

Falak’s POV

.

Camella and Kush went on their honeymoon on the evening flight. At the same time, Dad and Mayan were nowhere to be found. I knew dad could be near Lance, but where was Mayan?

I found Uncle Vyom free after the newly wedded couple left for the honeymoon. He was doing something on his phone when I approached him.

“Uncle”

“Yes, princess.”, He answered, locking his phone and sliding it into his pocket.

“Do you know where Lance is? I want to meet him.”

“Why do you want to meet him?”, He asked, raising his brow.

“Just to see how he is doing? I mean, he had lost his mother when he was just twelve, and now he lost his father as well. Even though his father is not dead, I don’t think that he is ever going to see his father again. That’s why!”

“Aarvik will not like it if I take you there.”, He muttered, more like talking to himself.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“Don’t worry about dad. I will tell him that I pressured you to take me with you. Please, uncle. Please.”, I requested. And then I played my MasterCard. “Please. I’m asking something from you for the first time. Please…please.”

He chuckled before caressing my hair. “Butter doesn’t come for free.”

“I don’t get you.”

“You are using extra butter to get your work done, and you didn’t get it, huh?”, He smirked, on which I started looking everywhere except him. “But I’m warning you that you won’t like a few things which you will see there.”

I frowned. I didn’t get the good vibes from his words. He was smiling, but it wasn’t a genuine one but an evil one like the CRUELLA type. Dad promised me that he wouldn’t raise his hand on him. He wouldn’t break his promise, right?

“Okay then. Can we go now?” I asked, and he nodded before speaking.

“Let me drop a message to your Aunt; otherwise, she will take tension unnecessarily and then take my offline class.”, He joked.

“Even though you were…a mafia before. You’re scared of Aunt Pragati?” I giggled.

“Mafia or a laborer, each and every man has to return back to their home at the end of the day! That’s why if we’re going to live at home, then it’s better to keep wifes happy.”

“Haha! Just like people say that if you’re going to live by the river, make friends with the crocodile.”

He laughed. “Exactly.”

“I hope you’re not among those people who can’t see blood or something.”, Uncle said, stopping the car in front of a half-constructed building.

“I can handle those things. But why are you asking this?” I asked, stepping out of the car.

“You will know about it soon.”, He said, and I started following him. I hated feeling so clueless like this. When we reached the sixth floor of the building, which was almost empty, Uncle held my hand as if I was a kid and took me to a large hall.

As soon as I reached there, I gasped in shock. It was reeking of blood over there! I took my hand from my uncle’s hand and covered up my mouth, feeling disgusted by the smell. But whose blood was that?

I looked around and found Dad sitting on the chair while Mayan was looking at his buried knuckles.

So, he was with Dad all this time?

But again, whose blood was that?

“Mayan?” I called his name, and immediately his eyes widened looking at me! “What happened…

“Oh, My God!” I screamed when my eyes landed on Lance, sitting up in a chair just behind where Mayan was standing. He looked like he had just come back from hell.

That was not exaggerating. He had a lot of blood on his face and his clothes. One of his eyebrows had a large cut that was still open and bleeding, and he had black eyes. The blood was oozing from his head. After all, he had met with an accident a few days before. He was a total wreck.

“Dad!!” I screamed.

I saw Dad looking at Uncle while casually shrugging. “Our little Princess requested something from me for the first time, and I couldn’t deny her.”

“Dad, you promised that you won’t raise your hand.”, I couldn’t help but shout at him. I ran to Lance, but Mayan held my arm firmly. I hit him hard and snatched my arm from his hold.

I looked at him furiously. I couldn’t pour my anger on dad, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t do the same to him.

“Dad didn’t do anything. I did.”, He said. “I had heard your conversation with dad, so I came along with him after convincing him, and you can see the rest of the things on your own.”

“Have you lost your mind? Or are you a psycho?” I yelled.

“You should have thanked me for not killing him.”

“Shut up! This is not funny! I didn’t want anyone to hurt him.”

Mayan just rolled his eyes. “Oh, please. We were already nice, considering what type of hard treatment he had given to you. If it wasn’t for you, this would be settled already.”

“What do you mean by WE?”

“He and I.” I heard a familiar voice and saw Saira with a doctor.

“Saira?”

“Yes, the one and only. Well, I wasn’t the one who did this makeup on his face. How does he look?”, She grinned and winked at me.

“I can’t believe you guys!” I shook my head in disappointment and turned my head toward dad. “Dad, you should have stopped them because…”

Before I could say any further, a laugh started in front of me. Everyone’s eyes turned to Lance. He was laughing like a maniac while looking at me. “There she is…. the goddess of kindness…who also calls herself as my sister. What now, huh, Falak? You want to do the same thing with me that I did to you. You must have wished for this all these years, don’t you?”

“It’s not like that.”

“Just shut the fuck up, bitch!”, He hissed. I felt Mayan and Saira almost jumping on him to beat the shit out of him but not this time. Not until I was standing in front of Lance. I wouldn’t mind raising my hand if they would behave like a caveman instead of behaving like an educated person. “After all these years, our situation had just turned 180 degrees round. At that time, I had everything; you were the one who used to get your ass kicked, and now you have everything, and you want to take revenge for everything that we did to you…”

“It’s not like that, Lance. Trust me! I never thought evil for you. Not for mom…I mean your mom or your dad.” I tried to explain to him, but he just glared at me.

“I hate you. Do you know that? If not, then listen to me carefully. I HATE YOU.”, He spat at my face.

“I think you are not able to think straight because of all the injuries.”, I muttered, changing the topic.

“When I will recover from all this, then the first thing which I will do is that I’m going to snatch all your happiness and will take you away from your family again.”

All of a sudden, Dad’s expression changed, and he left his chair.

“Dad! Dad!…” I tried to calm him down, but he pushed me away with a great force that landed me on the floor.

I was 100% sure now that I was going to see Lance’s death in front of me.
