You Belong To Me

72 . Resilience

Devotion to you is my exquisite yearning,

And ensuring your safety is my noble charge.

In the heat of the confrontation, the air crackled with tension, each word dripping with palpable animosity. Charlie's sinister laughter reverberated through the room, a chilling prelude to the storm that was about to break. His determination was a tangible force, casting a shadow over the scene as he vowed to snuff out William's life before the night's end.

"Attempt it if you dare," William's retort cut through the air like a blade, his defiance unwavering in the face of Charlie's threats. His voice was laced with steel, a testament to his resolve to stand his ground.

"Remember, William, Arushi is within our grasp," Charlie's smirk twisted with malice, his words a cruel reminder of the danger that loomed over them. His gaze lingered on Arushi, imprisoned and vulnerable, a pawn in their deadly game.

"You're despicable!" William's accusation was a seething condemnation, his contempt for Charlie boiling over like a cauldron of rage. He lunged forward, driven by a primal instinct to protect Arushi, but Charlie, ever the coward, used her as a shield, striking her with a viciousness that made William's blood run cold.

"You fiend!" William's fury surged, a torrent of anger and helplessness crashing against the walls of his resolve. But before he could unleash his wrath upon Charlie, Lucas intervened, his actions swift and decisive as he delivered a punishing blow to Charlie from behind.

The sound of the slap echoed through the room like a gunshot, a sharp crack that reverberated in the air. It was a physical manifestation of Lucas's loyalty, a silent vow to stand by his friend's side no matter the cost. Yet, Albert wasted no time in adding insult to injury, his own hand lashing out in a brutal slap that landed with bone-crushing force.

"Tolerate your pain or watch Aru suffer," Albert's laughter was a grim symphony of cruelty, his words a twisted mockery of their plight. But William, though consumed by rage, remained steadfast in his determination to protect Arushi, his love for her burning brighter than ever before.

As the onslaught continued, William felt a surge of powerlessness wash over him, his heart heavy with the weight of their shared suffering. He had always known life's cruelties, but it was Arushi who had shown him the true meaning of love, who had illuminated his world with her tender affection.

Their bond was forged in the fires of adversity, a beacon of hope in a world shrouded in darkness. Together, they had weathered countless storms, their love a fortress against the chaos that threatened to engulf them.

But now, as he watched Arushi suffer at the hands of their tormentors, William knew that he could not afford to falter. He could not afford to let his anger consume him, for Arushi's sake. With each blow that rained down upon him, he fought back the tide of despair, his resolve steeling against the onslaught.

And then, in a moment of sheer desperation, Arushi seized control. With a fierce determination, she wrested the gun from Mrs. Roy's grasp, her hands steady despite the tremors of fear and adrenaline coursing through her veins.

"Don't come any closer! You've tormented me for two days. Now it's my turn!" Arushi's voice rang out, her gaze steely as she held them at gunpoint, her finger poised on the trigger.

"William," she rushed to his side, her touch a balm to his wounded soul as she cradled his head tenderly.

"Aru," he whispered, his voice filled with love and gratitude.

Their friends sprang into action, aided by Arushi's unwavering determination. They apprehended their captors, one by one, their reign of terror brought to a sudden and decisive end. Charlie groaned in agony, while Mrs. Roy lay lifeless from Arushi's gunshot, her eyes vacant and devoid of life.

"I'm here, William. Your Aru is here," she reassured him, her voice trembling with emotion as she helped him to his feet.

"William King," Albert's voice dripped with venom as he faced their captors, his eyes blazing with righteous fury.

Slapped!

"You are the root of all my suffering. What do you gain from my parents' death?" Arushi's demand was a fierce indictment, her grip on Albert's collar tightening with each word, her anger a force to be reckoned with.

"You're insane! Because of you, I lost my Will too. You've destroyed everything!" Her words rang out, echoing in the silence that followed, her anguish and rage palpable in the air.

THUMP!

Overcome by anxiety and past traumas, Arushi collapsed, her strength drained by the ordeal they had endured.

"Aru!" William rushed to her side, enfolding her in his embrace, his heart breaking at the sight of her pale and trembling form.

"Stay with her this time," he instructed his friends, determination flashing in his eyes as he pledged to protect her at all costs, his resolve unshakeable in the face of adversity.

"Don't worry. I won't fail again," Harry vowed, his voice filled with determination as he gently lifted Arushi into his arms, his gaze never wavering from William's as he carried her away to safety.

"So, my dear uncle, how shall I dispatch you?" William's smirk dripped with disdain as he faced their captors, his eyes ablaze with righteous anger and unwavering resolve......
