One thing i would like to clear that Manik is NOT in love with Nandini yet! He is just obsessed with her from the first time he saw her. Love will happen but gradually!

So i hope now all confusions are cleared! :)

~~~

Cabir entered inside first and saw Nandini sitting on the bed lost in her thoughts. Manik followed him behind.

"Hey!" Cabir called but got no response.

Confused he looked at Manik who blinked his eyes in return. They walked towards the bed and stood beside her.

"Rose!" He called and she looked at him blankly.

"This is Cabir! My buddy! He is here to meet you!" Manik informed and Nandini's eyes leisurely landed on Cabir.

She had the same blank face.

"Hii Nandini! I'm Cabir!" He said extending his hand but again no response.

Finally he sighed.

"I know it'll take time to adjust! I'll wait till you come around!" Cabir said softly and moved outside.

Manik sat beside her and stared at her while she looked anywhere but him.

He raised his hand and traced her face with his fingers. She resisted the urge to smack his hand away but instead closed her eyes to bear him.

"You think I don't know Rose what you were upto before we entered!" His voice was cold and her eyes snapped open.

She shivered looking at how cold his eyes were.

"Your little stunt to run away and then pretend like nothing happened! You can fool Cabir but not me!"

She was starting to sweat!

How did he know?

What he'll do to me now when he figured I was planning to run?

God please help!

She spoke in her mind while looking at him with fear in her eyes.

"Don't worry Rose I won't do anything to you! But I can't promise you that if next time I suspect anything like this I won't punish you!" He said sternly making her gulp.

"I-I won't!" She managed to get those words out.

His lips curved into a slight smirk.

"Good!" He leaned forward but she moved back.

That didn't cause him to stop infact he leaned more towards her and stopped when their faces were just inches apart. His hot breath fanned over her face while he moved towards her cheek tracing it with his nose and making her heart race.

"What will you do if I kiss you right now?" He asked continuing his work.

Nandini was in no state to answer his question.

"Probably nothing!" He chuckled and the vibration caused her to shiver.

Her breaths were getting heavier and she couldn't think of anything else. All thoughts of what he was going to do with her were running in her mind. And that scared her.

Suddenly she was forced to moan when he bit her earlobe and sucked it slowly.

Manik groaned hearing her moan and in a second pulled her by her leg so that now she was laying on the bed completely. He hovered above her and before she could understand anything he dug his face in her neck.

He peppered her with his light wet kisses all over her neck while she was lost.

"You'll be the death of me Rose!" He groaned and that brought her back to her senses.

She pushed him away with all her force and crawled away from him.

"St-Stay away!" She was on the verge of tears but won't let him see her breaking down.

His face was contorted with fury. The moment she pushed him away he wanted to pin her down and ravish her till he was satisfied.

"Pushing me away was your mistake Rose! And this time you will be punished!" He gritted before leaving the room.

Her eyes widened in fear and she thought of what he said.

Punished?

What will he do now? Will he rape me?

Will he hit me?

God why me? What bad did I ever do to deserve all this?

She was crying hard and it was the first time she broke down after she was kidnapped. She was sure no one was even bothered at her home to find her or know where she was.

The rest of the day she stayed in her room and also Manik didn't come in the room for which she was thankful.

At night she heard the door of her room open. She started shivering thinking of the fact that he was here to punish her.

Manik entered inside and saw her sitting on the same place where he had left. He walked towards her and stood before her.

"Did you eat something?" He asked coldly.

On getting no reply he asked again with a little anger.

"Did you eat something Rose?" He gritted.

"N-No!" She replied.

"Take this and eat right now!" She slowly raised her head and saw him holding a plate.

She took the plate silently without any arguments as she was very tired. After finishing her dinner she kept the plate aside and drank water. All the while Manik kept standing there looking at her.

Her eyes now started to droop and she wanted to sleep. But before that she heard him.

"Not so soon Rose! Its time for your punishment!" He smirked and her eyes were now wide open.

All the drowsiness was now replaced by fear.

"Pl-Please I won't do it ag-again!" She begged but he paid no heed.

"Stand up!" He ordered.

Seeing him having no mercy on her she controlled her tears and stood up.

"Now strip!" He said as if it was no big deal.

She looked at him shocked.

"What are you staring at? Now don't waste my time and strip!" He demanded.

The tears which were till now threatening to escape were replaced by her anger.

"And what if I don't!" She challenged.

"Tch! Rose you think I don't know anything about you? If you don't then your only priced possession will be taken away from you! For forever!" He smirked.

"Yo-You don't!" She said horrified.

"Yes I know! I will straight away ask my men to kill your brother!" He said looking in her eyes.

"No please! Don't do anything to him. I'll do whatever you say but please spare him!" She cried and begged him.

"Well then I asked you to strip!" He smirked in victory.

She closed her eyes tight and brought her shivering hands to her top.

"Don't close your eyes! I want you to look at me when you take your clothes off!" He ordered.

She opened her eyes which held pain and disgust for him. With tears streaming down her cheeks she pulled her top off her head and dropped it down in shame. Then she reached for her jeans and opened her button. When she was out of it she stood there infront of him in her inners looking down in utter shame.

"Why did you stop sweetheart! Come on go ahead!" He said and her head snapped at him.

Why is he so cruel?

I hate him!

I hate him so fucking much!

"I'm waiting!" He smirked.

With pure hatred she looked in his eyes as he walked in her direction. She reached for the hook of her bra but before she could unhook it a hand clasped it.

She saw him standing too very close to her. His whole body was pressed to her.

She looked in his eyes and gasped.

They were black with lust. Lust for her body.

She dropped her hand bringing it to her sides. He took slowly roamed his hand on her back making her shiver and finally rested on her waist clutching it tightly.

"Lets save this for me! It will be more sexy when I'll unhook the only piece of cloth covering your upper body! And then I'll not wait to fuck you senselessly!" He whispered huskily in her ears making her breath hitch.

"Next time don't do anything which will make me punish you! Or else you know the consequences Rose!" He squeezed her waist before leaving her and taking a step back.

His eyes ran over her body hungrily before he swore under his breath.

"Go wear something before I lose my control!" He gritted.

Nandini rushed as soon as she heard him saying that and locked her inside the bathroom. Wearing her clothes when she stepped outside she saw no one making it clear that he left.

Slowly she crawled on her bed and layed down hugging the pillow tightly.

She cried. Cried hard for her life. If not for her brother she would have slapped him across his face.

But when he mentioned he would kill her brother she knew he wasn't joking and would do that right away. She had to protect her brother. And if for that she will have to sacrifice herself she will do it.

Crying and thinking about her brother she didn't realise when she dozed off.

Next morning when she woke up she found herself trapped in someone's arms. She saw to her left and her eyes widen in shock.

Manik was sleeping beside her hugging her tightly. She immediately checked herself under the covers to check whether she was naked and what she saw made her eyes teary.
