Mafia's Vengeful Wife

Chapter 10

RUDRANEEL

I was shocked at Kiara's sudden outburst. I couldn't form the words or figure out what to say. In fact, I couldn't even understand why was I reacting in such a way? Why was I bothered so much about her, about her mother-in-law? What do they mean to me? Nothing.

She is just a girl I met two days back, and yes I do accept I did horrible things to her, but that was because I trusted my nephew more than her, and why wouldn't I? I didn't even know her, but why is that guilt eating me up? Why is the fact that I was somehow the reason that she could have been traumatized for eternity haunting me so much? I have killed people, I have done so many horrible things, destroyed families, killed someone's happiness, ended up a few people's hope to survive. I am not a good man but I haven't regretted or felt guilty.

And after this all, why am I feeling guilty for doing this to Kiara? Why am I craving for her forgiveness? Why can't I sleep last night, thinking about the pain she is going through? Why am I feeling connected to her? It's been just two days, man. And here I am behaving like a hopeless teenager? What the fuck.

"Answer me, Rudraneel. Why are you bothered about me?"
Her voice echoed in my ears once again and I looked at her. She was waiting desperately for my answers and that's when I realised that I have been stayed silent for too long. I had to get a hold of myself and give her a worthy answer, but what would I say?

"I don't know," I answered her. I decided to be honest.
"What? You don't know?" She was utterly shocked.
"Yeah, I don't know. It's just I felt bad for you and your mother-in-law. I know about the miseries you have gone through in your life and that's why, when I know that I am the reason for one of your miseries, I felt a strong urge to eradicate at least one of them," I honestly confessed.

"So, it's all about helping me in my miseries," she chuckled.
I was surprised at her expressions. Maybe because I couldn't understand the conflicts she went through in her heart and mind about the conditions she went through in her life. But aren't we all conflicted? But, I couldn't understand one thing, how much troubles a girl would have gone through just to chuckle in such a sarcastic way.

"Sorry?" I addressed my confusion.
"Nothing, just remember one thing. I can manage my troubles on my own so yeah, I do not need your sympathy," she gritted, pointing her finger towards me.

And in the next moment, she was caged in my arms as I held her hands and pulled her closer, struggling to escape of this cage, while I glared at her.

"For your kind information Mrs Kiara Thakre, you would never have known about your mother-in-law's ailment if it wasn't I who informed you. Even if you have got to know about it, it would have been too late, so don't play the I don't want sympathy card in front of me, because I am not," I growled.

I felt angry at her words, how could she say that I was sympathising with her? When all I wanted to do was help her.

"And the second thing, I am not helping you because I feel pity for you. I want to help you because I am feeling guilty about whatever I did to you. I don't know the reason for my guilt feeling, but I do know one thing, that I would do anything to get out of this terrible guilty feeling so yeah, here I am, helping your dearest mother-in-law, for my benefits," I spat.

She was glaring at me angrily while trying to escape from my hold. At that time, I looked into her eyes and I don't know why, I could feel like time stopped around me, I felt lost in her eyes, searching for something.

I could see her anger, agony, pain, guilt, troubles, sufferings, worries, sorrow, grieve and every sad feeling that she was going through but I couldn't find a single pinch of happiness in her eyes. It felt like the darkness had absorbed her and then, I left her hand.
