CH-4 A queen’s wrath knows no mercy

As the bullet sound roared through the bustling environment, the screams of joy turned into cries of grief when everyone in the hall realised that the gunshot passed through Rudransh’s back.

Akshita felt a sudden shock pass through her body and it felt as if she was about to fall.Her body loosing all her strength, her legs giving up.It was as if she started building her matchstick house filled with hope but a cruel flame just came all of a sudden and lit it into flames burning everything.

Her hands were coloured red by his blood, the bullet pierced his body just an inch away from his heart.Tears made their way out of her eyes and she tightly gripped onto him with panic surging through her viens.

His father came up close to him and just as he felt blood over his chest, he immediately called the security and they rushed him to the hospital.The event was called off and everyone left for their homes.

Akshita sat in front of the operation theatre with tears continuously falling from her eyes as she heard the doctor telling his parents that he was in a critical condition.She was worried for him and herself too, it felt as if she would die if he couldn’t make it.

Everything around her seemed to remind her that he was in danger , a very critical one.She felt her sight getting blurry when a notification popped on her mobile’s screen.

Her blurry vision caught the hint of a specific name on the screen as she tried to comprehend the message.She quickly wiped her eyes and the sender was none other than Reyansh.

As she opened the text, it read:

I told you to not come in my way yet you and your lover decided to ruin my reputation.I already warned him to take down his nomination and still he decided to play smart.He should have known better and congratulations to you as you are going to be a widow without marriage soon.You can come to me if you need any favours though you may need to pay first.

With hate

Your enemy

Seeing that message she felt a sudden urge of anger rushing through her body.All she could see was red.She just wanted to destroy Reyansh at this point and doing so was all she wanted.Afterall,he hurried him,her hogfnugg ,her will to live and her love.

She wanted to revenge him as soon as possible but her mind told her not to do it now as it may be a trap.She looked at the message and decided to not reply infuriating him further.So that,she could get a reaction out of him letting him to do a mistake so that she could get a hint.

She sat in the hospital for the next 5 hours in front of the little idol of lord Ganesha praying for his safety. as the operation went through with every passing second making her stomach drop.

Soon,the doctor came out of the operation theatre and it was known that Rudransh was out of danger.She smiled with satisfaction and thanked the doctor but the doctor told them only one was allowed to go inside.

Though this information was tend to be kept secret but Akshita decided to fan the flames and told one of her trusted sources to spread the news.She know it may put him in danger again that was the reason she increased the security around him.

Connecting the security camera of the hall and his room to her phone,she sat in front of the room and waited for her prey to arrive as she already threw the bait.

Just after exact 45 minutes,a mysterious person in a green shirt arrived in the hospital.The sillehoute of the man caught her attention and as she followed him to the next camera and just as she expected it was Reyansh.

She moved inside Rudransh’s room as he laid there on the bed with his eyes closed,an oxygen mask placed on his nose and an IV drip attached to his hand providing him blood.

Seeing him that weak made her feel like crying again but she can’t.She isn’t a damsel in distress.She is his woman and she will make sure,his culprits will have a good punishment.

She quickly next to the curtain and clutched the injection tightly in her fist.A while later,Reyansh entered the room dressed in a surgery gown and pulled out an injection containing something blue.

Just as he was about to inject it into the blood bottle,he felt a sharp pain near his neck and the injection fell down.Just as he turned around,there stood Akshita,the woman he hated with all his guts.

She should be crying and begging at his feet at this point but there she was standing in front of him as if she could compete.His hand reached out and he tried to hold onto her neck but just as his fingers touched her neck,he fell down on the ground.

Akshita called Vardaan,the head of the guards and one of her most trusted men to take Reyansh to the warehouse while she sat next to Rudransh’s bed and held his hand.As she placed his hand on her cheek,tears trickled down her eyes and she felt like completely loosing control.

Crying for some more time,she moved closer to his head and pecked his forehead while she muttered”Sleep tight,liege.

As she was going,she decided to take a look at his wound,her eyes clenched seeing the stiches along with the long cut and just as she was about to cover him again,her eyes travelled to a black ink stain on the left side of his heart.It was an A tattoo with preghiera written below it.

She covered her mouth with her hand and placed a gentle peck on his lips before she stormed off to the warehouse not before checking the security again and not letting anyone go inside without the confirmation of Rudransh’s father.

His father offered to let the assasins do the task of torturing Reyansh but she wanted to do it herself as he tried to hurt him.If he would have targeted her,she may have gone gentle with the punishment but not when it comes to him.

As she reached the warehouse,Reyansh laid on the floor tied with ropes.As she looked at him,she passed him a sadistic smile.She sat down in front of him and captured his jaw while her perfectly manicured nails pierced his skin.

He tried screaming but she picked up hot glue and poured it over his lips which burnt his lips and just as he was about to scream,she left his jaw pushing it upwards sealing his mouth.

As he stood there,she pulled his rope and he fell in front of a tiger.Just as the tiger looked at him with a distasteful look ready to devour him,Akshita patted it’s back with care and whispered something in his ears.

Just as the tiger pounced over him and roared,Reyansh felt a sudden liquid flowing down his legs.His eyes closed in shame when he realized he pissed his pants.

Akshita smirked at him and picked up a small knife and started randomly attacking his fingers.With every blow letting some blood fall of his fingers but cutting only one of them.Her motive was not to kill him but to make it difficult to live.

He felt pain but wasn’t able to scream ,he wanted to cry but that was more than just impossible as he felt his eyes slowly dropping.

He thought the torture was over but she came with a knife and a mask covered her nose.She turned him around on his stomach and she pierced his back all the way down till his spine and she separated his ribs from behind.His ribs sprawled outwards creating the shape of wings.It was an old torture method-a very painful one called blood eagle.

She decided to slice his ribes a bit and poured salt over his bounds.He had long lost his conciousness and was just lying there standing all the torture she delivered over him.

She simply told Vardaan to place him in the car and throw him down a cliff so that his car could get burnt and no evidence would remain.She wanted to close this chapter for once and all.

As she looked at herself,her maroon was now covered with blood but not only with him’s but his culprits too which gave her intense satisfaction.

She always stood on her rule to play people mentally but for him she can break all the rules even the ones,she created herself.Afterall,in this board of chess,she is not a pawn but a queen,the one who makes and breaks rules at the same time and her wrath knows no mercy.
