Obsessive Flames of Love

It’s been six hours since they boarded the plane. Rudra was getting all the updates regarding attacks, financial losses, injuries, and deaths of his men.

The financial loss is not a big deal to him, since he can again gain that money in almost no time, but what worried him the most was the people who lost their lives. He had a piercing pain for their loss.

Rudra was immersed in making plans to defeat their duo as early as possible. He knew this is going to be much tougher than the previous battles he fought, but he acquired the power and capability to win against them.

He was trying to take Lucas out of this, but to his annoyance, things were not happening according to his wish. “Lucas was very much more determined to take me down than Diana. I must have a clear plan to destroy them.”

While Rudra was involved in plotting, Tamaz approached him and put a hand on his shoulder, and sat with Rudra. A fraction of hope came to him that things are soon going back to normal with that tiny gesture.

For the past few days, people were even afraid of looking him in the eyes. He became that cruel, bloodthirsty monster to crush his enemies.

Glared at Rudra, Tamaz had a premonition and he asked, “Rudra. What happened to Tanvi?” She seemed a bit out of the blue.

Rudra remained silent, not knowing how to answer and Tamaz continued, “Why was she in such a devastating state?”

With a disgruntled sigh, “She is not an easy woman to handle Tamaz. She made things more complicated than they already were. Out of no choice, I forced her to come in my way using my methods.” Rudra told him about how it happened.

“Hugh! I didn’t expect this from you, Rudra. You can handle it in a better way, yet you did that to her, to the only person you care about in your life.” Tamaz was disappointed, and he gave a disapproving look.

“There is nothing I can do at that time, Tamaz. Her safety was very much more important to me than her affection.” Rudra blurted in despair.

Gazing at Tamaz, he added, defeated with himself, “I know I had crossed all the limits and broke her heart, but it is for her good. Though she will not understand it at this point, she will understand it in the future. For now, I am glad that she was alive.”

“I understand you, bro. You would see the bigger picture as always. Tanvi will realize this soon.” Tamaz said while nodding his head.

With a pause, Tamaz asked with worry, “Bro, How are you going to deal with those bastards Diana, and Lucas?”

“Leave everything to me, spend time with Tanvi. Make her cheerful. She may not want to be with me right now, you talk to her, and she will feel better.” Rudra patted his shoulder and Tamaz nodded with a wink and left him to handle the rest.

“Come with me,” Rudra ordered Maahir, and they both went to another room.

“I want all their tracking and information about plans beforehand. Inform our men to be very careful in analyzing the scenario. Diana and Lucas might try to give deliberately wrong information to trick us.” Rudra directed Maahir.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Okay, Boss. I will inform Ronnie’s trusted men to handle this. They are the experts to get the information from them.” Maahir said.

“Okay. Also, do they know that I left the city and boarded to Australia?” He asked Maahir while analyzing the situation.

“According to the information from my sources, they knew that you left the city, but they don’t know where we were heading to.”

“Good to hear that. Let them know that I am flying to Sydney for the business deal, which will be helpful to regain the financial losses. I want them to go crazy in search of what my next move is going to be.” Rudra told Maahir while his expression became dark and fierce. “They pushed me to the tight spot, so they must be ready to face the outcomes of their deeds.”

“Connect me to Barry Morgan,” Rudra ordered Maahir.

Maahir is stunned for a while, and after a second, he regained his composure and started dialing Barry.

Barry Morgan is a vicious fellow, who was very brute. His presence makes people frightened and surrender, his one shout is enough to make people die of a heart attack. He was very ogre, and his ways were far beyond violent. He won’t even think for a second to kill a person. He will make people plead for death, and he is an inhuman bloodthirsty man.

“Yes, Maahir. Tell me what should I do.” Barry answered the call in a husky tone.

“Boss wants you to be here Barry,” Maahir said to him.

“Okay. Connect me to Boss.” Barry told in a flat voice.

“Barry. You know that the battle between Diana, Lucas, and me has begun right?” Rudra asked.

“Yes, Boss!!! I am waiting for your orders on how to proceed,” Barry expressed his views.

“I want you to kill Diana and Lucas people without them realizing it. By the time they understand, there should be nothing they could be able to do.”

“Don’t give them any time to react, do attack after attack on all their places where their major activities are taking place.”

“Plan multiple attacks at different places at once, and they should not know from when and where the attacks are coming. Keep your identity a mystery to them.” Rudra instructed Barry.

“Okay, Boss. I will take care of things here.” Barry said.

“Maahir, I want you to leak the information of Diana’s crimes and Daniel under table deeds one after another.”

“Okay, Boss!!” Maahir said.

“Intimate our trusted companies to cancel their deals with Diana Group of Industries. I want them to have massive financial losses, where no one should give them a loan nor helping hand,” He directed Maahir.

“Yes, Boss!!! Will do as you say.”

“Also, if any update from William, saying they are targeting my father. I want an attack to happen on Daniel Bhatt on the spot. Keep my men surrounding him,” Rudra ordered.

“Okay, Boss!!! I will arrange Barry’s people to do that.”

A wicked grin appeared on Rudra, “Let me see how you are going to escape from this. Blow after blow, physically, emotionally, and financially. There should not be any time left for them.” His aura became dangerous, and the look in his eyes is ferocious and inhuman. “Blood is going to spill for sure.” Rudra thought and, after a while, “Connect me to Shivik Malhotra,” Rudra said.

“Hey, Rudra. How are you, bro?” Shivik asked.

“Shivik, there is no time for this nonsense. I want you to handle some duties.”

By listening to his tone, “I understand the seriousness,” Shivik realized and shifted his playful gaze into a cold glare. “Tell me what should I do.”

“Go to my cabin. Make sure nothing should go wrong. I am flying to Australia. You handle things in my place. Pass on to me only the extremely crucial files. You can connect to Tamaz and deal with the situations in the office.”

“Okay, I will take care of them. Be careful in the battle with Diana and Lucas.” Shivik said with concern.

Shivik Malhotra is his buddy from Harvard University. He is one of the top businessmen and is the president of Malhotra Chemical Industries and Malhotra constructions.

Tanvi was in her world contemplating the decision she took to become Mrs. Rudra. “I know I can never love him.”

Her lips pressed into a thin line, “I hate him for the things he did to my family to have me in his life.”

Clenching her hands into tight fists, she pondered, “His methods were brutal. He is a beast, a ruthless, heartless man claiming me as his.”

With her narrowed gaze, “I know whatever I do now will lead to more trouble for my family. I must accept the fact that he is not leaving me to be free for myself.”

A defeated sigh escaped her lips, “My life is in his command now, and he is an absolute control freak.”

“I cannot beat his domineering and intimidating aura. I have a feeling that I am tied up to living my life with a monster. What did I do to end up like this?” While she is in her thoughts, Tamaz approached her.

“Hey, Tanvi,” he greeted her with a little smile.

“Hi. May I know who you are?” She was startled by the sudden interruption of her thoughts.

“I am Tamaz Banerjee.” He introduced politely to her with a handshake.

She examined him for a moment, not knowing how to respond to this so-called stranger, “Though I am not in a state to respond, he was present in this plane and approached me, which means he was close to Rudra.”

“I must behave properly, or else god knows what that Mr. freak is going to do.” She speculated with a bleak attitude.

“It’s nice meeting you, Tamaz.” Tanvi cordially greeted him.

“Pleasure is mine, Tanvi. How are you doing?” Tamaz asked with enthusiasm though he knew how she is feeling.

“I am doing okay. How about you?” She responded in dreary.

“I am doing good so far,” Tamaz reacted warily with wretchedness on his face, and she observed the instincts behind his facade.

“The intention behind it was complex. I can sense it. It didn’t make a good discernment.” Tanvi analyzed. After a pause from both sides, Tamaz curiously questioned, “How are things going on, Tanvi?”

“I am not sure how to put it,” she is struggling to voice out her opinions, and Tamaz raised his eyebrow listening intently to what she is saying, “but the scenario is not going according to my wish.” She blurted out cautiously. Tamaz twitched his lips slightly and patted her shoulder.

“He is a nice man, and he is not like that monster Rudra whose presence was dictating and intimidating. He seems to be friendly and polite.” she felt relieved to have a conversation with Tamaz.

“That’s okay, Tanvi. You might not understand now. When the time is correct, everything will make perfect sense to you.” He said while looking into her eyes with empathy.

“Though he was talking freely, I felt like something was going behind. The situation does not resemble as simple as it is appearing.” Tanvi was trying to get a conclusion, but it is highly impossible with the vague response Tamaz provided.

“You can talk to me whenever you want to. You can share anything with me, Tanvi. Though I am his best friend, I treat you as my sister. I want you to be happy, and that is only possible when you are with Rudra. Trust me, Tanvi, your life is going to change.”

After listening to his words, she was speechless. “How can I be happy when I am with a ruthless monster?” She is anything but happy. “Tamaz might be his best friend, but he does not know how I felt today. The pain, that helplessness, the grief in me, drove me insane. I will never forgive Rudra for doing this.” The sadness and wrath in her had struck her so hard, and she is unable to breathe.

After a split second, “Thanks for your concern. Let us see Tamaz, how my life is going to change.” She said in a sarcastic tone.

He nodded and left from there with a slight smirk. “It made me feel warm, but something inside me is giving warning hunches that something is going on here, but I cannot put my finger on what exactly it is.” She felt desperate to know.
