the devil's star (Completed)

chapter 20- the real story

Recap-
"I tried writing clues for mani, When I felt a sting on my neck and when I turned around I saw neyonika with an injection. Suddenly black dots started appearing and I was losing my consciousness. Shit. She gave me sedatives.

Come soon mani. Come soon. I don't think I would be able to handle much."

As soon as I saw that bitch neyonika injecting something into my baby's body and her going limb, I couldn't help but smash the screen.

The sadist inside me was awake now. He wanted nothing but blood and death of those who dared to hurt what's his.

I am already too late because of my stupidity who let that bitch brainwash me that it costed my baby's life at stake.

I quickly shouted for cabir to bring the car out and after typing in the address that jaan gave me, I quickly sat in the car.

I let cabir drive because i know if I would have driven the car, 2-3 accidents would have happened.

While sitting in the back seat, I started getting flashbacks of happy memories I shared together with pa- nannu.

That's how I started realizing how much effort nandini put in making me recognize herself. But I failed. I failed to protect my nannu. I failed. I didn't keep upto my promises.

Cabir telling me that we've reached thr warehouse brought me out of my thoughts.

The sadist side of me awoke and i started running ideas about how to give harshad and neyonika a painfully slow death.

After we assembled outside the back door of the warehouse with no guards around i started explaining My men how to kill That bloody harshad and neyonika.

I then announced "kill anyone who's not in our team. But not harshad and neyonika.i want them alive. I'll deal with them personally. Also-"

I was cut off with cabir shouting raj papa Piya Maa."

I immediately turned around and saw dad and my mom, my real mom in his arms. She seemed scared. She was even afraid when I gave her water. She throwed it away thinking it's some thing that's gonna hurt her.

I hugged dad and started crying. I felt at peace. I got real parent's love at last. Finally.

After that was done, I turned towards dad and said "dad neyonika said you're dead. And mom, mom cheated on you and left us. Dad I believed her. Because of her my nannu's life is at sake. How did you come here? Were you trapped inside too?"

He just calmed me down and started explaining

*RAJ'S POV*
seeing and being able to hug my only son was a bliss. I had lost hope. I thought me and Priya won't be able to survive.

Manik started bombarding me with his questions. I after calming him down, made him sit on nearby benches and I sat too with piya still in my arms.

I then started explaining "remember when you and neyonika went to London for a week, and during that time you were informed my flight caught fire and I died on the spot? It was neyonika's plan. I got to know her intentions 1 year into our marriage. But I didn't know she was married to harshad. When you were 3, I married her. At that time, neyonika was my PA. When day, when I got back from office in the morning because I stayed the night working there, I came back home to a note from her real mother that how she was in a extra marital affair with a guy and how she had left us to live with him. I was heartbroken. Afterall, piya was my first love. I was devastated. Suddenly I get a call from neyonika explaining how she needed me to sign an important paper so she had to come home.
When she came home, she gave me the emotional support and using that as a weapon, Made me marry her explaining how you as a 3 year old would crave for mother's love. So I agreed to marry her.
6 months into our marriage, I started realizing that some huge amount of money would go missing here and there. I got our detective to check and got to know it was neyonika. I went to confront her but seeing the love and care which I now got to know was fake made me shut up. I started working double so that we can never get less money. That's why I couldn't give my attention to you. Day before yesterday when you were gonna go to London with neyonika, I heard her plan about disappearing nandini and me from your life. That's why I survived the plan crash because I already knew it would happen.
But sadly, neyonika caught me. When she got me here, I saw your mom. She has lost her mental balance because everyday they would torture her.
I tried protecting her, but they would torture me too. It took me one year to gain her trust.
After that I lost hope because I knew you trust your neyo mom more than anything in this world.
We would get updates on you from neyonika.
I had accepted my faith but then yesterday I saw nandini. At first, I couldn't recognize her but she recognized me. And surprisingly piya didn't get scared from nandini. Instead she saw her and hugged her. Nandini was shocked to but she let her do what she wanted to do.
Nandini then told me everything that has been happening from the last 6 months and her childhood. Since she knew every corner of this warehouse, she escaped her. I asked her to come too but you know what she said? She said 'I know my mani uncle. She'll come for me and take revenge from neyonika and harshad. And when he comes, I'll help him win and we'll celebrate our victory together. For now, go run from here. My mani will come soon.' After that son, we ran, since piya is weak, I took her in my arms. But manik, when we were coming outside I saw harshad approach her and hit her. I was about to go save her but she shook her head and asked us to go. Save her manik. Please save her."

I was in tears. Now I pledge to come back with my baby in my arms safe or I'll die in there

I am coming princess. Please stay safe for me. For your mani.
