Chapter 16( Naked )
Priyank’s anger grew with each passing second as he watched Priya appear so innocent in front of another man, drinking water.
Consumed by jealousy, he took long strides towards the guard and Priya, who was innocently drinking water. Without hesitation, he delivered a powerful punch to the guard’s face, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground, his head hitting the floor with a thud.
Priya was taken aback by this sudden act of violence. She got frightened to her core, not understanding why he had done this .
Little did she know that he was willing to go to extreme lengths to ensure she belonged to him alone. He would even go as far as inflicting harm upon her, willing to gouge out her eyes if it meant she would never look at another man. Yet, here she was, concerned about the guard lying on the ground.
Priya asked, her voice trembling, “Are you alright, sir?” She completely ignored Priyank’s presence, further fueling his anger.
“How dare you? How dare you speak to him?”
Priya felt weak and vulnerable, and replied in a feeble tone, “He’s injured, so I’m just checking on him.”
Priyank couldn’t comprehend why this girl was so determined to defy him, as if it were her business to do so. He struggled to understand her, especially in situations like this. He had little patience for anyone who crossed his path, and yet this girl seemed determined to challenge everything he stood for.
Priyank approached the old guard and mercilessly kicked him, each blow landing with tremendous force. He was determined to break every rib in the old man’s body for daring to come close to his beautiful yet stubborn Angel.
Laughing sadistically, he taunted,
“Now ask this bastard how he’s doing.”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Priya was horrified by the sight of the guard lying on the ground, blood spilling from his mouth. She cried out with all her energy, “Stop it! You’re hurting him!”
“Sir, I’m sorry. Please, spare me,” The guard, in pain, pleaded.
Priyank laughed even harder, continuing to rain kicks upon the guard’s stomach.
Between kicks, he sneered, “So, where did your strength go? How could you betray me by getting close to her, even when you know she’s mine? How dare you speak to my Angel and make her drink water with your filthy hands?”
Priya’s tears streamed down her face as she begged, “Please, stop. Don’t do this.”
Priyank, with a malicious look in his eyes, approached her and said, “So, you want me to spare this bastard? You care so much for him?”
Priya didn’t fully grasp the meaning behind his words, but she nodded, desperate to save the guard’s life. She didn’t want anyone to die by the hands of this monster.
Priyank smirked upon hearing her words, thinking to himself, “So, this is how you want to show your concern for other men, huh?” Determined to teach her a lesson, he declared, “Well, then I’ll show you what happens when someone goes against me.”
Priyank continued to kick the guard, his voice commanding, “If you want to help this old hag, you’ll have to give me something in return.”
Priya couldn’t comprehend why he was behaving this way, but she knew that when he spoke like this, he meant it. He wanted something from her, something she couldn’t even begin to imagine.
With a confused expression, Priya asked, “What do you want?”
Priyank replied, his tone unwavering, “I want you to strip now.” After uttering those words, he smiled and momentarily ceased his kicking.
The guard, struggling to catch his breath, was shocked by Priyank’s demand. He couldn’t fathom how someone could ask such a thing from a girl.
Priyank stared at Priya’s tear-stained cheeks, glistening under the moonlight, and locked eyes with her.
“I want you to remove your clothes right here,” he said, his voice filled with a chilling intensity.
Priya, her confusion evident, asked, “Strip?”
Priyank maintained his tone, responding, “Yes, strip, right here.”
“What do you mean by strip?” She couldn’t fathom why he would use such a word. It didn’t even make sense to her.
Priyank’s eyes widened in disbelief. He was taken aback by her lack of understanding, just as he had been when he called her a bit*ch and she didn’t understand .
Priyank asked incredulously, “Are you kidding me?”
Priya, in her monotonous voice, replied, “Why would I? I want to save my uncle. Why are you asking me to do something that doesn’t even exist? I can drink juice again, even though I hate it, but please spare my uncle.”
Priyank was dumbfounded by her words. He couldn’t fathom why she would think he wanted her to drink juice in exchange for sparing the guard.
“I don’t fuc**king care if you drink juice or not. You’re going to strip, or I’m going to kill this old hag,” he sternly retorted.
Priya cried out in her tearful voice, “Why are you abusing him? What do you mean by strip?”
Priyank, with an annoyed expression, realised that she truly didn’t understand.
“I want you to remove your clothes right now and get naked here.”
Priya’s eyes widened in shock as he uttered those words. She couldn’t believe he was asking her to undress in this way. Even when he had bathed her before, she had felt uncomfortable being naked. As Mother Mary had told her, no one should see or touch her in such a way. Yet this man had violated that boundary, and now he wanted her to strip completely. It was something she would never do.
“I will not do that! Why are you asking me to do such a terrible thing?”
“This old hag will die if you don’t remove your clothes. I swear, even if it means on this man’s lifeless body, you will be left naked. So it’s better to strip now rather than pretending you won’t do it, because in the end, you will,” Priyank kicked the old guard once more and exclaimed,”Now it’s up to you,”
“Please…”, she tried to beg.
“Either you choose to be naked, or I will tear every piece of clothing from your body. It would be best if this old hag, who dared to come too close to you, met his demise first, and then I’d deal with you,” Priyank cut her off .
Priya trembled in fear and spoke through tears, “How can you kill him? You can’t just take someone’s life. It’s a crime.”
Priyank laughed and replied, “You’re naive to think I won’t do it. I will, regardless of how much of a crime it may seem to you.”
“Please, it’s cold, and it’s improper to remove one’s clothes,” Priya’s tears flowed even more.
“You’re going to do it now, or I’ll make you. I will never go back on my word, Angel.”
Priya knew she had no choice. She couldn’t let this kind old man die.
“How am I supposed to do it? I’m tied up here.”
“Now, come on. I’m running out of patience, baby,” Priyank sighed, approached her, and untied her.
Priya glanced at the old guard, lying on the ground, blood trickling from his mouth, and writhing in pain. She could see his suffering and reluctantly began undressing.
Priyank’s anger flared up when he saw her comply.
He slapped her forcefully, causing her to fall to the ground,”How dare you? How dare you undress in front of another man? Or should I say, to another man?”
His eyes burned with anger, enraged by the fact that she was willing to undress for a man she had just met. He despised the idea and felt like a volcano about to erupt.
Priya lay on the ground, her cheeks bruised and bleeding from the impact of the slap. She cried harder, feeling the pain of the second slap.
Priya’s breathing became heavier, as if she were about to have another asthma attack.
“Don’t you dare do that, Angel! Take deep breaths now, or I’ll stop this old man’s breath right in front of you.”
Priya trembled even more, terrified by his tone and anger.
Overwhelmed with fear and anxiety, unable to control her emotions.
She tried to control her breathing and, in a broken voice, pleaded, “I can’t, please.”
“You will do it, Angel. I hate repeating myself, so you had better do as I say, or be prepared to face the consequences.”
Priya struggled to catch her breath, feeling both pain and fear of the old man’s life. She couldn’t comprehend what Priyank intended to do with her, but her mind was solely focused on saving the old man. What if she shot him too, just as he had done to her pet dog?
She had never encountered such a wicked person before.
“So, Angel, how dare you undress or even think about undressing in front of another man? Answer me, damn it!”
Priya, still crying, replied, “You told me to do it, even though I refused.”
“Don’t play games with me, Angel. Even if I told you to undress in front of this scoundrel, how dare you think you can do anything for another man?,” he spoke angrily.
“I can’t let him die,” she pleaded.
“You know what, Angel? He’s surely going to meet his ancestors today.”
Confused, Priya asked innocently, “Why is he going to meet his ancestors? His ancestors are still alive?”
“You’re so innocent, Angel. No, his ancestors are not alive, but he’s going to die and join them.”
Priya gasped, realising what Priyank meant by “meeting his ancestors.”
“Please don’t kill him. You’ve already taken away my luck. Please don’t do this,” she begged.
Priyank stopped laughing and commanded, “Stand up, Angel.”
