Chapter 114: Chapter 114

"You don't know how happy I am today, Abeer. This is the happiest day of my life. My grandson is back, finally. I always believe that one day you will return to us no matter how far you go. And see, you proved me right today.", Mr. Malhotra hugged Abeer, the moment he entered his room.

" I missed you so much Grandpa. ", Abeer said embracing him tightly.

" You only missed your grandpa, not your grandma, son. ", Mrs. Ember said from behind, grabbing their attention.

" Ofcourse, Grandma. I missed you too. In Fact I missed both of you a lot. ", Abeer said hugging them together.

A lone tear escaped from Mr. Malhotra's eyes embracing his grandson.

" Now tell me. Where have you been? How did that accident happen? How did you save yourself?", His grandma started bombarding him with questions one after the other.

"Okay.. Okay.. I will answer all of your questions but not today Grandma.. Maybe some other day. Because for now, I have lots of work in my pending list.", Abeer said softly.

"That's like my grandson. I am proud of you dear, how much you are committed to your work that made me feel so proud of you. You had no idea in your absence how did we handle things.", Mr. Malhotra said, looking at him emotionally.

"Don't worry grandpa now your grandson is back so now you need not to have any work load on you whether it's related to our black or white business. I will handle both of them myself.'' Abeer assured, squeezing his hand.

"But did not you say that now Neil will become the next representative for the Mafia Ceremony that will be going to happen soon.", Mrs. Ember interrupted in between their ongoing conversation.

Abeer looked at both of them confusingly, trying to understand what she actually meant by that.

" But at that time I had no option left other than to choose him as Abeer was not here, between us. That's why I decided to put his name, unintentionally.", Mr. Malhotra tried to defend himself.

"Don't forget that he is also your grandson just like Abeer. He should not be an option for you, but priority, honey. Why are you avoiding your one grandson for the sake of others? Aren't you doing injustice to him like that?", Mrs. Ember questioned, narrowing her eyebrows.

" How should I tell her that I was not in a mood to make him the next heir of my empire. I decided to put his name just for her shake because she continuously insisted on me for that. I had planned something else after giving his name for the Mafia ceremony from my side. It's not good to reveal my plan right now. ", Mr. Malhotra thought in his mind.

" It's totally fine, grandpa. And trust me, I am more than happy with that decision of yours. And most importantly I trust your decision so don't worry. Neil will be our next representative and that's final.", Abeer said, assuring him that his decision was right.

" But son.. ", Mr. Malhotra tried to explain his decision to him but was cut in between by Mrs. Ember.

" Abeer is right, we should give a fair chance to Neil too to prove his worth in front of your eyes, honey.", Mrs. Ember smiled looking at both of them.

" Now I take my leave, grandma and grandpa. My work is calling me now.", Abeer said smilingly.

"But Abeer this is also your home, why don't you come to live with us now? I mean you always chose to live there all alone at the pent house instead of living with us in such a huge villa. And your life is in danger as most of our enemies have been active to see you dead at any cost. ", Mr. Malhotra asked worriedly.

" Don't you worry Grandpa for me. I have come back from death. It's proof that no one can harm your grandson until I want it myself so don't take too much stress. I am safe there and I have my bodyguards there too. And whenever you will call me or need me, I will be here, just a call away. So now you both take good care of yourself and my dear sister, Roselet.",Abeer said smilingly.

" We both trust you, dear. So don't worry about us. Just focus on yourself now. ", Mrs. Ember assured.

Abeer left from there, leaving the duo all alone there.

" You promised me to give my mother back once I work according to your plan.", Stella cried, looking at the kidnapper who was wearing a black mask to hide his face.

" Why are you silent? Tell me. Answer my question. I acted the way you instructed me, I made Damian realize that I betrayed him by having sex with some stranger. I ruined his life. I ruined our happiness, our dreams, our love. I ruined everything. Now what else do you want from me? I am tired of all this now. Why are you doing this to me? ", Stella screamed, leaning on the wall for support.

The kidnapper was observing her face expression silently and did not utter a single word in return nor did he console her.

He raised from his seat and moved from there silently towards the washroom.

Stella was observing him while crying when suddenly her mobile started ringing.

"Hello, who's this?", Stella asked in between her sobbing.

"Oh! So you forgot your mother's kidnappers so easily. I thought you were waiting for my call so that you could get some news related to your mother. But it seems now you have forgotten her, that too very soon.",The kidnapper responded, making Stella flinch at her position in fear.

" If the kidnapper is on the call then who was he? Who was listening to all my rantings here silently and didn't answer my questions? "Stella asked herself in her mind.

" Are you listening girl? Or have you lost your hearing power? ", The kidnapper asked, breaking the silence between them.

" Yeah.. Yeah.. I am listening. Tell me what I have to do now so that you will leave my mother this time and how would I believe you that you are not lying to me and will give my mother back to me?", Stella asked, fear visible in her voice.

"Do you have any other option left other than to follow our instructions and believe us?", The kidnapper asked, smirking.

"No.", Stella uttered while wiping her tears.

"So now listen, we want to have some fun with you. You know what I mean! That day what you did was just acting but now I want you to do it for me in real life.", The kidnapper revealed his intentions to her finally.

"What? What are you saying?", Stella questioned, and felt herself numb for a moment.

"You heard it right. A one night stand with you is all I want and I assured you that your mother will be out of our cage the moment I fucked up you completely and you satisfied me with your cooperation.", The kidnapper declared. "Are you ready? Say yes or no and don't speak instantly because your mother is still under our control. Your one answer and here your mother will say goodbye to this planet.", He added.

"I am ready.", Stella said bluntly and tears started flowing through her eyes making her vision blurred.
