Chapter 2 2

EVELEEN'S POV

I was standing near the railing, spreading the view with my eyes. It was a girl's college in front of me. I could see empty classrooms through the opened windows. It was evening, but the sun was still shining bright. It was summer.

The sun setted down late these days. The light breeze was brushing my skin. I turned back and gazed at the hall. It was full of people.

' I know only a few relatives of our family who often visit our house.'

It was a large hall. This building had five stories. Our party was going on the fifth floor. I sauntered at my friends, pushing the glass door open. The cool wind of air-conditioning hit me and I felt a bit relieved of the hot skin of mine. I gazed around to see my friends. I spotted Rose with her phone.

They were my friend and cousin. Rose was pretty enough, five feet six inches tall, slim and black hair with short length and green eyes. It was rare to find a green-eyed girl in Sikanderabad.'

She was busy on her phone. It was the sixth call from her father. I removed my eyes from Rose to find the comedy star of our group. " Gol gappe.... " Mini screamed from her seat in joy. I didn't need to make an effort to find her. She was already holding a plate of pasta in her hand and now she was attacking golgappa. She was a mixer of mine and Rose weight, light brown hair, black eyes, brown skin with a cute face and heart.

I strode in my high heels and took the seat next to Mini. Her mouth was filled with food. She offered me a filled gol gappa. I opened my mouth in invitation. I took a bite. It was so delicious. Rose and Mini, both were my cousin and friends.

Rose walked toward us with an angry look, " Dad is asking us to leave the party. " Rose disappointingly said.

" Our cop dads. They will never allow us to enjoy our lives. " Mini rolled her eyes and picked up Coca-Cola and finished it in one gulp, " It's a decent party." She was annoyed and put the pasta plate on the table with a loud thud.

Fortunately, there was a loud buzz of the swarm of people and of course, the party must be boring without music. It was on high volume.

" Let's go." My friends asked me to leave the hall immediately. But I didn't wanna go back home now. They barely allowed us out of the house.

Abruptly, the music stopped. The manager came into the hall and he was asking everyone to leave and apologizing at the same time. I couldn't get the whole matter because of the buzz of the crowd in the hall. There was a haunted look on everyone's face around us. I was already bored from the lecture of our professor. I wasn't interested in hearing from him.

I thought about it for a second. " Okay, let's go. " I nodded my head. Though, I didn't want to go back home yet. The sun was still bright out in the sky. It got crowded. People gathered around the elevator. We waited for the elevator, " It would take ages to reach the ground floor. " I told them.

" We don't have that much time Evie, " Rose said to me. I could see a haunted look on her face.

" Let's get out of this place using the stairs. " Mini held my wrist and started to walk hurriedly out of the building. They both are always protective of me. Especially after the death of our brothers. Some mobster leader killed them. I swept the hurting memories away.

" What's wrong with you both? Why are you behaving so strangely?" I asked in puzzlement and I was a little annoyed.

" My dad called me and asked me to get out of this building. A Mafia man has booked the fourth floor for his party. It is not a normal party like we do, you know. " Rose said, getting impatient.

I ignored her and wasn't paying attention to her words. Frankly, the buzz was making it hard to concentrate on one thing, " What are you saying, Rose? I'm not getting it. What kind of party our parents will not allow us to have, like a bikini party, party with boys or um, I'm curious to know what kind of party is going there. " I asked, raising my eyebrows.

She opened her mouth to reply to me but stopped. There was a dreadful look on her face and the same look on all passersby.

" Didn't you notice? She said M A F I A " Mini spelt out the last word in her scared tone.

" Tell me. You're joking," I demanded.

" Swear of mother," Rose said with horrible expressions.

" We're not kidding, Evie. " Mini said with the same tone.

She would never lie on her mom's swear. My eyes widened with shock and fear. When I saw and found out, why did she stop? A man was standing in front of her. His gun was pointed at her.

" You are coming with me. " he said in a heavy tone, " You three. " he pointed at us. He was a horrible looking person. There was a cut on the left side of his face. Evilness could be easily seen in his eyes and face. He was running his eyes on us.

I stopped and slowly moved near him to punch him in the face. But Mini was faster than me. She pushed the Gunman so hard. He fell to the ground. His gun slipped from his hand. I instantly took steps to get out of this hell through the stairs. Rose and Mini were a few steps ahead of me. We reached the fourth floor. We ran toward the exit door. I saw both my best friends crossing the threshold of the staircase.

" Not You Baby! " I heard a heavy voice again, but with command. I felt a strong and ruff hand on my wrist. It pulled me back. I just wanted to get out of here. I tried hard to get free from the devil's hold without looking at him. I could hear my friends' yelling my name. His strong grip was getting tighter. It was hurting me now. I was feeling the weakest one now. He tugged me toward him. I didn't dare to look at him.

He yanked me forward with his full force. A small squeal jumped out of my lips as I stumbled.

My eyes saw him. He was in fine clothes. He was good looking, black eyes and his hair were matching with his eyes. He was handsome with an evil spirit and mind.

" You're so gorgeous," he said, touching the left side of my face with his ruff and bulky hand.

I pushed it away with my free hand, " Leave my hand. " I snapped and tugged myself away from him.

His face was holding the same flirty and evil expression on his dangerous face.

" You should hire such girls for me, You motherfuckers. " he grimaced at his men, making his hold tight on my waist.

My body tensed, listening hire from him. Only cruel people would treat girls like stuff.

He smirked at me, " I'll marry you. You'll be my queen. You're my first sight love, darling.'' he declared.

My eyes got wider. It frightened me, " Let go of me. " I found my shivering voice.

I was struggling to get free from his hold, but he dragged me toward the hall. I was pulling my arm from his hold. His muscular arm held me strongly, " You'll hurt yourself, darling. " I heard him. There wasn't a buzz and hurdles of people on this floor. It was carrying stillness. The surroundings seemed to me suffocating.

He hauled me in the hall. There were many evil faces presented in the hall. Not merely his bad people, there were a lot of prostitute girls. They were hardly wearing any clothes on them. It frightened me. He forcefully turned me with his hold on me and pushed me away. It was like he threw me easily. I fell to the ground. He took his gun out and pointed at me. One of the men offered him a chair and he sat on it in the centre of the hall. His gun was still pointed at me. All were giving attention to him as God was going to start his good words.

" No motherfucker will touch her. She belongs to me," he told his men in a high pitched tone. I trembled in fear. It reverberated in the massive hall. One of his men gave a devil laugh. He bent his head and coldly glared at him. He turned his gun to him and ran the trigger. The bullet hit him in his forehead. He fell to the ground with a loud thud. I yelled out loudly in dread and high pitched tone.

" No one can touch her, harm her, laugh at her. Only I can, I'd be me. " He shouted again.

I was still staring at the dead body in awe.

He turned his gaze at me, softening his expressions. His menacing voice was reverberating in my ears. It sent shivers in my body.

' What will he do to me? '

" Does your mother know how to cook? " he asked me with the same flirty tone. His gun was a few inches away from my head.

It puzzled me. Was he mad?

" Yes. " I mumbled, looking at the dead body.

" Good! We will enjoy ourselves in the bedroom and your mother will cook for us. I will marry you right now right here. I've heard girls love their mothers. You can keep her after our wedding. " he said in the same tone.

" You need a doctor. " I glared at him in horror, but I said my words boldly.

Meanwhile, I heard a gunshot outside of the hall. All the girls presented in the hall started to run in fear here and there. I took it as an opportunity and stood on my feet and ran to the exit as his full attention was on looking for the matter.

" Stop! " I heard his heavy tone with a gunshot.

My inner voice was saying he would catch me. I saw a large table and hid under it. It was covered with white decorated clothes, touching the bottom of the marble floor. I tightly put my hands on my mouth, almost clamping it. I didn't wanna make any noise. I was a few steps away from the door, to reach out of this floor.

" Find my future wife," he shouted at his men. It scared the hell out of me hearing ' my future wife' from his filthy mouth.
