In Aquila, Christian slowly came back to his conscience. His head is pounding with pain because of the Chloroform given to him. He tried to lift him hand, only to realise that he couldn't move his limbs. That's when his eyes flew open and looked around him with shock. He is in a dimly lit room, and it felt like a garage or a basement. He is laid down on his back while his limbs are being pulled tightly and were being restrained by chains. "What the hell? Hey, do you think i am a dog? Why the hell do you restrain me like this?" he demanded into the dark room. But no one replied. Vaguely he recollected Nikolai coming inside his home and then he fainted. 'Did Nikolai kidnap me? But for what? Eying his girlfriend? This is insane.' he thought to himself and tugged at the chains with anger. "Hey, someone there?" he yelled at the top of his lungs. But no one responded. "Let me go. Nikolai, don't play with fire. You don't know who I am and what I can do to you. Let me go now" he deman
That night, after delivering Christian's first punishment, Neither Ivy nor Nikolai were in the mood to talk to anyone. So they locked themselves in their temporary room, seeking comfort in each other's arms. Ivy understood that what Nikolai said was true. It's not easy to kill or punish someone so brutally and not let the small pang of guilt enter your consciousness. But whenever she starts to feel guilty, Ivy reminds herself of what Christian did ten years ago. And what he did with Kelly and the other woman. He needs to be punished more brutally than this. "I suggest you go back tomorrow" Nikolai spoke up, breaking into her thoughts. She didn't pretend as if she didn't understand what he was speaking about. "This is not easy. Even though he did all sorts of bad things, I still felt a pang in my conscience. But I am suppressing my conscience. He doesn't deserve pity. I want to be here. I want to see his misery, just how I was forced to see the misery of our parents" she spoke s
Ivy was on her way to buy food for Kelly when she saw Jason. She became so happy to see him there, that she took a detour to speak with him. He was looking at the prescription which he was holding in his hands, that he didn't notice. "Jason" she called out for him, making everyone around her to turn and look at her. She gave them an apologetic look before she hurried after Jason who is walking away. On the other hand, Jason heard Ivy loud and clear. But he didn't stop. Because he was stunned to see her there. Who would have expected that he would stumble upon Ivy in a hospital in another town. They both doesn't belong in that town. So visiting a hospital was not expected. He ignored her and hurried out of there as fast as he could. 'Ivy saw me here. What of she told Nikolai? He will search for me and will not stop until he finds me. I cannot go back home either. I cannot let Ivy tell Nikolai about me. Can I take that chance? Looks like she doesn't know about my involvement i
"Jason? Where am I?" Ivy asked Jason feeling anxious to inform Nikolai. She knows that he must be worried for her. Jason looked at her with a calculating gleam in his eyes, without replying. When he didn't reply, Ivy started to become suspicious. His whole behaviour today was odd. As if he did something wrong and tried to escape. "Jason, where am I ? I need to call Nikolai. He must be searching for me" she spoke with a hint of underlying fear. For the first time she is feeling uneasy in Jason's presence. When she mentioned Nikolai, Jason became upset. "Nikolai, Nikolai, Nikolai. ..Why do you always only think about him? You just met him a few months ago. But we were together for the past ten years. Did these ten years mean nothing to you? He kidnapped you for crying out loud. What is so great about him which I lack? You know I love you too. I am good looking as well. Then why him and why not me?" he demanded angrily. Ivy is stunned at his outburst. The calm and composed Jaso
In the middle of the night, in an old warehouse near the city outskirts, Nikolai pointed his gun on the man who is begging him for mercy. The smell of blood and piss is thick in the air. But Nikolai's eyes are cold and merciless. His handsome face is devoid of any emotions. His dark penetrating gaze is fixed on his prey."One last chance. Tell me the name of the man who planned my parents death, and I might think about giving you a fast death" Nikolai said coldly.The man infront of him is crying with pain and fear."No, I don't know who he is...." Nikolai didn't give the man to finish his sentence. He fired his gun and the bullet shattered the man's head.Blood and flesh flew in every direction, but Nikolai didn't move or feel guilty. He is called Hades for a reason. He threw his gun towards Shawn, who caught it effortlessly. Shawn is his right hand man. Nikolai turned away and left the warehouse. After the kill, the images of his parents dead bodies started to flash in his mind. He
Nikolai saw the girl tied to the chair. Her hair is covering most of her face. But her eyes, a unique shade of green which he never saw in his life are looking at him with fear. He liked it. He liked her fear. That's what makes them do stupid things and give him what he wanted. And he wants her father. He is sure she knows where he is."Where is your father" he demanded. His voice calm, but no one can miss the darkness seeping from his tone. Even his men are tensed. As the death anniversary of his parents is approaching, his anger is rising. He becomes destructive as the day nears.Ivy's breathing became shallow as the weight of her fear started to suffocate her. No one can deny that Nikolai is handsome. But at that moment, she understood why he was called Hades. He is holding her life in his palms, ready to crush it at any given time. She couldn't control her tears. She knows that he will kill her if she doesn't give up her father's location. But she really doesn't know where her fa
Ivy is terrified. After she insulted the infamous Nikolai Knight, he dragged her out of that warehouse and now she is locked up in one of the rooms in the Knight mansion. She struggled to escape and she begged him to let her go. But his cold indifference is all she got from him.Despite his anger, none of his men touched her and all the while she was trying to cover her torso with her hands. She is scared, hungry and alone in this dark room. She knows what she said was wrong. If there was anyone who knows how soft hearted the young Nikolai was, it was her. That incident changed him alot. She didn't know how many days have passed, or it might just hours. But no one came to unlock her or to see if she is even alive or dead. She is feeling weak and very cold. Her head started to feel heavy, and slowly she succumbed into the darkness.Nikolai is more than angry. No one knows how his parents were killed. But he does. Someone raped his mother before killing her. His father was tortured unt
"Here, wear these clothes. Mr. Knight is waiting for you downstairs. I will wait for you outside. Come out when you are done. I will escort you to Mr. Knights Office" a very kind looking lady handed over some clothes to Ivy. Ivy took the clothes gratefully. She immediately disappeared into the bathroom and locked the door. She quickly took a much needed shower and got dressed up in the jeans and t shirt that was given to her.She didn't try to escape or she didn't dwell on how perfectly the clothes fit her. All she needed was to beg Nikolai to spare Jason's life. Each minute she wasted here might cost Jason his life. She saw first handedly how heartless Nikolai became. He wouldn't hesitate to kill Jason for even a second.After she was done, she was escorted to Nikolai's office. He was found sitting behind the large oak desk in his black suit. "Sit" he pointed to the chair directly opposite to him. Ronda left as soon as She handed over Ivy to Nikolai. Ivy is trembling with fear. S
