Karishma slowly gained her conscious, with eyes half opened she looked around only to find herself in an abandoned warehouse, the sky coloured in crimson hues as the sun peeked up from the horizon, as the last night's memories flooded her brain her body tensed, she looked around only to find herself alone, she could make some voices but they were quite far from her.
As the effects of anaesthesia subdued, the coldness of the iron chair seeped through her clothes, she wiggled trying to free herself but the rust cut through her skin hurting her, she sighed giving up, her neck ached, maybe because of sleeping in an uncomfortable position. Her sore muscles cried for relief, if she was not wrong, it's already been more than 5 hours since she had been kidnapped.
"Anubhav" she whispered as she saw a few people walking into the warehouse, Anubhav and Aditi walking ahead of them.
"Arey wah! The Ex-Chairperson of Singh's, Karishma Singh. I have to compliment you, it feels so good to look at you like this" Anubhav chuckled, while Aditi stood a little far observing everything.
"Wish I could also compliment you too, haven't they fed you well in Jail?" Karishma smirked. 
Anubhav's eyes turned red in anger, "You bitch" he snarled at her
Karishma rolled her eyes, Aditi still stood silently but her body turned rigged at Karishma's comment, she glared at Karishma gritting her teeth.
"Hmm, heard you are planning for a baby with that girlfriend of yours. It looks like it hasn't been very successful," Anubhav smirked, Karishma's face was stoic but for a moment she remembered the past 4 months, "I can help you if you want" Anubhav looked at her lustfully. 
Karishma's anger shot up the next moment, "hahaha, you?" Karishma laughed mockingly, "An impotent like you couldn't help me" Karishma sneered at him
Anubhav walked to her with long strides in rage and slapped her right across her cheek, blood trickled at the end of her lips as the impact broke the skin.
"You better keep that little mouth of yours shut, you little piece of shit!" Anubhav yelled yanking her hair, Karishma struggled under his brute force. Karishma's chair dangerously swayed as Anubhav left her with a jerk.
"You know what is your biggest mistake?" Anubhav walked to and fro before her, "You being alive in that accident years back and you know what is the bigger mistake?" Anubhav faced her, "accepting the chairperson position in Singh's"
He came face to face, invading her personal place, resting in hands on the armrest he leaned in, "And the most horrifying one of all is you giving away all the property which is mine" he shouted. 
Karishma closed her eyes are the intensity of his voice
"I promise you Karishma, you would beg me for death! The torture you're going to witness is going to scar your soul for eternity! You messed with the wrong person Karishma and I'll make you regret your every word and action" Anubhav whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her spine
"Maa, you said she gave you your house back, right?" Anubhav went to Aditi who slightly nodded
"Chalo, I'll give you a return gift," Anubhav smiled at Karishma, "firstly I thought I would torture you for days but now I will kill you the moment you fall unconscious when your brain and body give up enduring my torture" Anubhav coldly smiled at her, fury blazing bright in his eyes.
