"What's its Laila" asked Vanya with concern, Laila looked like a mess after the whole ordeal. Laila tried to limp down the stairs without drawing attention to her wounds, Vanya was scanning Laila with concern, "Um-Um It-It's that" stuttered Laila and her eyes met with staring with anger eyes of Parth. Laila knew that she would have to cave in for her own safety and the guy was absolute nuts and would go crazy.

"It-It's that, I-I want to stay home and care for the house instead of continuing my classes, I think I'll do better at that than my classes" said Laila with stutters, Vanya stood there confused because the statement was in stark contrast with their last conversation. Vanya looked at her son with hope, Parth had changed his expression before Vanya's sight fell on him, He stood with neutral expression.

Vanya hoped that Parth had nothing to do with this , "Why suddenly a change in your decision , Child don't think that Taking care of the house is being the perfect wife , There's a difference and there's nothing called perfection either , It's fine if you feel studies is not for you and household chores is more of something you like , Hope you've thought enough about everything" said Vanya with concern

His mother's words were getting on his nerves, He would put up a fight against his mother's words but after a certain extent he would succumb to her decision and, he did not want to show his involvement in the decision. Laila hoped that Vanya would say something for her, she was petrified to say something against and scream the ordeals, but she saw the savvy way he makes sure no one sees his monster side.

He would cause another torture session with no witness and she'd suffer so she chose silence as her option ,"Laila , You complete this course and then you can take over the whole house , Your hard work till date won't go to waste and till that I'll continue what I was doing , Your course end and the keys are yours" suggested Vanya and Laila meekly nodded to Vanya's words , Laila was happy inside after hearing Vanya's words.

Her happiness had to be suppressed inside to not catch suspicion, she wanted to hug Vanya and say Thank you, but she could not. Laila looked at Parth and was definitely not Happy with what had happened, the anger was visible but at bay because of Vanya. Laila wanted to know what kind of sick game he is playing with her and why is he doing this. "Vanya madam, Rishi sir is calling you" said the maid and handed Vanya the cordless phone, "I'll be back in a second" said Vanya and moved away.

Laila felt pain shoot up her hands and she winced in pain , She found her hand being twisted behind her back by Parth , "Let me go" said Laila in pain but he had his cold expression plastered on his face , "Convince Mom that you want to stay back and take care of the house" said Parth and Laila felt parts of her soul breaking but she nodded and he let go of her hand , She examined the redness of her hand due to his harsh actions , It was a bruise waiting to form.

"Anyway Laila , So from tomorrow You continue your classes" said Vanya ,Laila wanted to do that but the pain wasn't completely gone yet which reminded her what she had to do ,"Mom , I'm done with the course and It doesn't interest me anymore , I want to help in running this house instead , I'd feel more happier knowing that I'm part of the smooth running of the house" muttered Laila , She was saying Lies over lies but she didn't have another option to run to . This whole thing was taking a toll on her mind and soul.

"You sure? If that's what you want then I'll surely support you and I'll be glad for you to take over the house" said Vanya and cupped Laila's face with care , Laila wanted to cry into those arms but she couldn't , "Child what happened to your hands , why is it bandaged " asked Vanya with concern after noticing the bandage hand of hers, "Mom she had spilled the coffee she brought onto her hands" answered Parth for Laila

"Laila why are you so careless, Child are you really ready for this or is it something else, tell me truthfully" asked Vanya with concern but Laila nodded negatively in an effort not bring trouble her way. "Be careful Laila, I don't want you hurt like this" said Vanya with a reassuring smile and Laila smiled back at her concern, "Yes mom," said Laila.

"I'll send the helpers to your room to clean the mess" said Vanya and Laila looked at Parth but his face was blank ,"Mom , I picked the pieces up myself and cleaned the mess I made" said Laila and her eyes were still stuck on Parth , "Dear It's an accident and is just a matter of being more careful , You might end up cutting your fingers if you pick the pieces up just like that" said Vanya

"I'll not repeat this again" said Laila and Vanya gave her a confused look ,"Good decision but also remember I'm not your class teacher to say I'll not repeat this again Madam" joked Vanya and Laila chuckled , Vanya lifted Laila's hand noticing a bandage and she gives a look at Laila , "Next time I'll be more cautious" said Laila with a sorry smile and Vanya nodded

"Parth take care of your wife" said Vanya and left, Laila looked at Parth with horror because she knew he could do anything at any moment.

Parth held her hand and squeezed her injured finger and ring finger together which made her wince in pain when the ring got squeezed towards the injury ,"Why were you so on showing my mom the wound in your fingers, Why don't you flaunt all the injuries to my mother and complaint to her , but remember this that when you plan to show her , the amount of injuries you'll be showing would be increased in numbers than now" said Parth in an intimidating voice and Laila felt a shiver

"I'm sorry , I didn't mean that to happen , Please leave my fingers" pleaded Laila while fighting her tears from spilling like a waterfall , Parth let go of the hand and she looked at the blood gushing out of the wound because of the ring deepening the wound ,"Be a good girl and the chance of your wounds multiplying might decrease" said Parth and Laila had a horrified terror stricken look on her face which brought comfort to Parth's wicked bran ,"W-wh-what do you mean by that" asked Laila

"I meant what I said , If you don't give me reasons to multiply your wounds then the number of wounds might see a decrease but so far I think that you'll surely multiply the amount of wounds occurring to you , let's see" said Parth wickedly and Laila felt like she air supply to her lungs was constricted by his words , She felt her hands go cold in terror , "Wh-why are you doing this to me" muttered out Laila somehow , Her heartbeats were fast because of the nervousness of the reaction he might hold against her

"So far you're giving me countless reasons, but I can't guarantee anything" said Parth and walked away and left Laila speechless. As Parth walked away, Laila could not help but feel a sense of dread washing over her. She knew that she had done something to upset him, but she could not quite put her finger on what it was. Was it something she had said? Something she had done. Or was it something else entirely? The uncertainty was eating her up inside.

She tried to calm herself down, taking deep breaths and reminding herself that she was stronger than this. But as she thought about what Parth had said, the fear crept back in. What did he mean by multiplying her wounds? Was he going to hurt her? Was he going to do something even worse? Laila knew that she had to take action. She could not just sit there and wait for Parth to make his move. She had to figure out what was going on and how to protect herself. But how? She had no idea where to start.

Laila there, lost in thought, she suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder. Startled, she turned around to see Parth standing there, a small smile on his lips. The smile on his face sends more chills down her spine that, was it genuine? or is it a terror inducing expression.

"I'm just messing with you; I didn't mean to scare you like that" said Parth softly and oddly calm....

Authors note
Parth is a mindfuck in every way and Laila is just meek and naive.
