Author's POV

"हुआ क्या?" (Is it done?)

Mira huffed from her seat.

The driver looked at her with an apologetic face.

"कोशीश कर रहा हू, मैडम" (Trying, ma'am...)

He has been trying to fix the car for the last hour but it wasn't working.

Mira tried to pass the time on her phone and huffed when her battery died.

"Great!"

She looked out of the window, they were stuck on the deserted road between the forest and it was already dark.

"मैडम, क्या आप गाड़ी चला सकती हैं?" (Ma'am, can you drive?)

He asked.

"हा, क्यू?" (Yes, why?)

She frowned at him.

"आप एक बार car start करके देखेंगे?" (Can you try to start the car now?)

He requested.

"Okay!"

She got out and sat on the driver's seat. She twisted the key but it didn't work.

The driver was already in panic, he wiped his sweaty forehead.

"आप थोड़ा शांत हो जाओ और आराम से try करो, tension लेने की जरूरत नहीं है।" (Calm down and be patient, no need to be stressed.)

Mira assured him, noticing that he was in panic.

He nodded and again focused on the task.

"अब चालू कीजिये" (Try now!)

Mira again twisted the key and the car roared to life.

She sighed in relief.

"There you go!"

She was about to got out but froze when she heard gunshots and drivers body fell on the car.

She gasped in horror and looked ahead towards the open gypsy which had men with guns, they were cheering and hawling like animals. She was not naive to not understand that she is attacked by the Goels.

She pulled the reverse gear and took a sharp U turn. The driver was already dead so it didn't make any sense to risk her life for him.

"Boss wants her alive... Follow her!"

The man ordered, watching her taking a turn.

Mira used all the gears in a row and drove the car at full speed. The road was wide and empty so she was sure that she could speed up.

Her throat went dry thinking if they caught her then God knows what they are going to do her. She screamed when few bullets hit the car from back but it was bullet proof so it didn't hurt her.

Damon was also at full speed, trying to find Mira's car.

"You can't leave, little fire. I am not done with you yet"

He geared up and he finally caught a glimpse of her car coming towards him at full speed.

He frowned when he saw her white car front covered in blood and her rough driving.

"What the hell is she doing?"

Mira cursed when she felt the car jerking up.

"No, No!... Don't stop!"

She noticed Damon in the car which was coming towards her.

Her car suddenly lost the interest and she quickly turned the steering, taking the sharp turn. Damon's car was about to collide with her but he also took the shape turn just like her and their cars rounded each other like fishes of Pisces.

Damon cursed when their cars stopped and her jerked out of the door.

"Fuck!"

He noticed the gypsy which was following her.

"Bastards!"

He opened his window and continuously shot the engine of the gypsy which caught fire making gypsy flew out of the road with the blast.

He got out of the car and rushed towards her car. Mira gulped while looking around shocked and wiped her sweaty forehead.

Damon opened the door and she got out.

"तुम यहां भी मेरे पीछे पीछे आ गए" (You followed me here too?)

She looked at him in disbelief.

He realised that she is perfectly fine because the fierce mouth is still working. He grabbed her arm and jerked her forward.

"How dare you leave the house without my permission?"

He gritted madly at her.

She frowned at him.

"Excuse me?"

She tried to push him away.

Damon grabbed both of her arms and harshly pulled her closer. Her body collided with his.

"If you ever dare to run away from me, I promise, I'll tie you to my bed until your preety legs forget how to walk!"

She gasped when he fisted her hair and made her look straight into his eyes.

"Are you out of your mind, Damon? Leave me!"

She growled at him, pushing on his chest but he was stronger than she expected.

He leaned closer to her threateningly, tackling all her struggles easily and she gulped when he was a few inches away from her lips.

"I am fucking serious, my little fire..."

He whispered in his deep threatening voice which shuddered her heart.

"If you ever tried to run away from me, I'll make sure you lose all your freedom."

There was a dangerous promise in his eyes. She tried to push on his chest again but he was hard as a rock.

He kept staring at her like he was demanding an answer from her.

"Fine, leave me!"

She groaned and struggled to set free.

He released his hold on her and ran fingers through his hair frustrated.

"Are you okay? Did they hurt you?"

He asked, looking at her body.

Mira frowned at him like he had lost his mind, he harassed her a few minutes ago.

"तुम पागल हो क्या?" (Are you nuts?)

She gritted.

"I asked you something!"

He grabbed her jaw in tight grip and demanded the answer madly. Her cheeks squeezed together in his tight hold.

She groaned in pain and pushed him away with all her power.

"Don't you fucking dare talk to me like this... Don't forget your limits, you are marrying my sister."

She glared at him.

Damon slammed his hands on both sides of her, on the car roof. She flinched at his aggression.

"Don't fuck with me right now, Mira... I am really pissed at you.."

He didn't like it at all that she was leaving. His plans were going to go in vain.

"Don't fucking test me now!"

He warned. He was fuming in anger.

She didn't trigger him realising that he is angry and he can do anything to her right now as they are alone. She decided to play smart.

"Okay! Can we go home? I am tired."

She asked looking at his strong arms which were caging her against the car.

Damon looked at her sweaty face, she was bothered and scared but she was trying to hide it and act strong. He can't understand why she is trying to not break.

"They killed the driver... We need to inform the old man and give his body to his family..."

"Why did you make the decision to leave the house?"

He asked ignoring her words.

She frowned at his question, it was like he was not ready to leave the topic.

"That old lady didn't want me to stay in the house, I had no choice."

She answered so he can give up.

Damon closed his eyes frustrated.

"We need to do something about this problem."

He looked at her and she gulped looking around, his eyes were not giving her good vibes. He wasn't hiding his darkness at all.

"Have you ever been hit in the head?"

He asked in a serious tone, nothing was mischievous.

"What?"

She scowled and looked at him confused.

"No!"

"Okay, I'll be gentle!"

He smirked and she gasped when he smacked her head with the back of his gun. Blackness dotted in front of her eyes as she lost her balance.

Damon caught her before she falls on the ground.

"I am sorry, fire! This is important to make you stay in the house."

He wrapped his arm around her waist and checked her wound on the forehead. It was not serious, she was just knocked out.

He threw her on his shoulder and placed her inside his car.

He called Yang and ordered him to inform the family about whatever happened.

Damon looked at Mira who was unconscious beside him.

"She is going to eat me alive once she wakes up..."

He sighed and started driving.

He reached home and picked Mira in his arms, she was fitting perfectly in his hold. He looked at her innocent face which was resting on his chest and his blood boiled.

"How dare they risk your life like this?..."

He gritted making a note to make everyone regret it.

When he entered, everyone was waiting for them in the living room.

"Oh my god, Mira!"

Maya rushed towards them.

"Wait!"

Damon ordered madly, he held Mira tightly against his chest as Maya tried to touch her. It was like a reflex which even he didn't realise.

Everyone looked at him shocked and confused when he placed her on the couch. Maya quickly checked her forehead.

"What happened to her?"

She asked.

"First tell me why the hell your women are roaming around without bodyguards when you know that your enemies can attack anytime!"

He growled at the men in house.

The old man scratched his beard nervously.

"We didn't know that they will attack her, maybe they were just messing with us... Mira is not important to them."

Damon controlled the urge to slice his tongue.

"Her driver is laying dead on the road... You still think they were 'just' messing around?"

He growled madly at him.

"Her car has seven fucking bullets hits!"

Durga gulped looking at his anger. She hid behind Tara scared, she doesn't wish to deal with this kind of anger.

"This shows how strong your security is... Is this how you are going to handle my business here?..."

He gritted.

"You can't even protect your women, how the hell are you going to protect my business?"

"We understand that a mistake has been made... We apologise..."

Uday meddled.

"I'll look into this matter on a personal level... I assure you that it won't happen again!"

"I don't want anyone to leave the house without security... This wedding is important, I won't tolerate any mistakes."

He warned.

"Don't worry, we should have sent her with bodyguards... It was a mistake!"

Uday looked at Mira who was still unconscious on the couch.

Damon clenched his jaw.

"You think they can't target her in Kankurgachi? Is that hard for them? Or do I need to give you lessons about this too?"

Durga gulped looking at his rude behaviour, violence was never her place. The hopes and feelings which she had for Damon, vanished from her heart within seconds.

"Damon is right!"

Maya said while caressing Mira's head.

"She was alone and vulnerable on the streets, what if they would have done something to her?... Maybe she is not important to you people but she is to me, I agreed to send her there so she would be safe... I can't allow this now!"

Maya glared at Kalindi who was just standing there arrogantly.

Damon smirked knowing his plan benefited him, now his little fire is not going anywhere.

He looked at Mira and frowned. She should have woken up by now. He didn't hit her that hard.

"You should call the doctor"

He looked at Maya.

Maya turned her head towards Damon.

"I am a doctor!"

She stated and he raised his eyebrows impressed.

"She is fine, and will wake up after some time."

Durga looked at Damon scared, she doesn't like violence and the way she has seen him now has shaken her.

"How did you find Mira?"

She mumbled looking at him.

Damon frowned at her.

"You think I'm unprepared here?.. I know what happens around me!"

She gulped at his stern reply.

Mira groaned as she slowly opened her eyes.

Damon stepped back from her sight knowing that she is going to pounce on him the moment she sees him.

"Mira?"

Maya helped her to sit when she looked at them confused for a second.

She grabbed her throbbing head and remembered that Damon smacked her. Her angry eyes snapped towards him with dangerous glare.
