“I will rip your heart out and feed it to you in little pieces, Shekhawat,” he snarled.
“Hello to you too,” I replied drily.
The Sisodia siblings were far too quick-tempered for their own good. Always had been.
“If you’ve harmed so much as a hair on Diya’s head, I’ll make you regret it for the rest of your life,” he promised.
This was the thanks I got for saving her life, I thought with an eye roll.
“Easy, tiger. I did not kidnap your sister. Ayush’s men tried to kill her, and I rescued her,” I informed him, cutting through all his bluster.
“What the fuck are you talking about?”
I filled him in about the events of the evening and Veer growled again.
“I’m coming back right now, and I will skin that bastard alive if it’s the last thing I do,” he vowed.
“Where are you right now?”
“In Monte Carlo. I should be back tomorrow morning.”
“I’m dealing with this tonight. This shit ends now, Veer,” I said firmly.
There was a pause before he spoke again.
“Is Diya okay? I can’t imagine what she’s gone through tonight. Is someone with her?”
“Isha has just gone to her. And she’s shaken, but fine. She’s stronger than you realise.”
“Fuck you, Shekhawat. You know nothing about my sister. Not anymore,” he snapped.
I shook my head in exasperation. The Sisodia siblings could hold a mean grudge, I realised.
I promised to keep him updated and hung up before he could threaten to cut off any more parts of me. With a heavy sigh, I called the one man who could help me out.
“Khamma Ghani, Hukum. I heard you’ve been out hunting again,” said Kirori Ji drily.
Kirorimal Talati was the Sarpanch of Trikhera, and if anyone knew what was happening in the village, it was him. Kirori Ji’s word was law as far as the villagers were concerned, and he had proven to be a valuable asset to me in the past.
“What’s going on, Kirori Ji? What are they planning?”
“If I ask you nicely… if I beg you… will you walk away from this, Hukum?” he replied, not giving me a direct answer. “It’s for your own good.”
“Not a chance,” I snapped. “I want the Goels to burn for what they’ve done.”
“You’re just like your old man,” he grumbled. “He was a vengeful bastard just like you.”
“I’m nothing like him,” I shot back. “They tried to kill a friend of mine, Kirori Ji. Am I supposed to let that pass unchallenged?”
Kirori Ji groaned dramatically.
“This is not going to end well. I can feel it in my bones,” he predicted.
“That’s just arthritis. Do some yoga to ease your joints,” I advised.
“Hmph. I’ll thank you to leave my joints out of this, Hukum. Worry about your own neck for a change. The Goels want the woman.”
“Well, they can’t have her,” I snarled, furious at the very thought. “Tell them to get over it.”
