The Gentleman

DISCLAIMER: 16+ ONLY! 

“No, you are a good guy! Don’t be a part of it, please! You still have a chance!” She held his shoulders, looking beseechingly at his eyes.

“CAN’T YOU SEE?! ONE WRONG MOVE AND I AM DONE FOR! JUST LET ME DO MY FREAKING JOB!” He tried to slid his arm into her waist, to follow his boss’ orders.

“No, please,” she begged him. But it was no use.

… 

Flashback 

Ananya was the young blossoming 24 year old daughter of the rich industrialist businessman Mr. Rahul Gunasekaran. He had a lot of haters. Who wouldn’t hate a top businessman who cheated his way in? Unfinished deals, betrayals and treachery were his cutting corners to success. But all he could see was he was glistening at the top, just as he had dreamt of. He wasn’t the struggling servant anymore. But all the shining of the fake prizes let him lose his attention of the true apple of his eye- his daughter. Well, we only find value in a few things once we lose them. And Rahul was about to experience the horror he never imagined.

It was Ananya’s 25th birthday in two weeks. She was as successful as her father, but she yearned for his love. She didn’t feel the same love ever since her mother passed away when she was just 10. He began to love his businesses more. She had gotten over it, pitying his loss. That loss was hard for them both.

And here she was, purchasing items for a birthday she would celebrate with herself, the chef, the maid and the waiter. They had been her only family during her dad’s absence (which was all the time.) 

But today, Ananya felt different. Not the birthday vibes, of course, but something else. She felt the annoying feeling of someone following her. She lost the thought when she attended a call from an unknown number. It was customer care, goodness! She sighed as she paid the bill for her purchase and left the mall.

Her footsteps began to rush when she felt the shadow of someone creeping over her. Her gasping breaths were only encouraging for the unknown. She kept clicking on the lift button but it took time for the elevator to arrive to her floor. The man utilised this chance to take hold of her by muffling her with a damp cloth. She tried her best to avoid the intoxicating smell of the drug he put. She tried to do little stunts she saw in the movies but he was immune to it. The elevator had now reached the floor and the man could hear people voices. Seeing that the girl was now dazed and only moaning, he laid her back against the wall and removed his mask to let his lips touch hers, as he treated her with a hungry kiss. As the people left, they smacked mentally and lamented at their behaviour at a public place like a mall, assuming them to be some young couple. Noticing the absence, he lifted the girl by the waist and carried her into the elevator. The girl was now unconscious.

“I’m sorry, I have to do this,” he whispered to her. But she couldn’t hear him in her condition. When they reached the parking lot, he rushed to his car and bribed the security with the promised amount of 50k. He placed the girl in a seat next to him.

“Sir how do I assure the boss that you really got her?” He asked.

“You have seen me, haven’t you?” The man asked.

“They won’t believe my eyes, sir.”

“Would a photo do?” He asked.

“Not the best proof nowadays, sir.”

The man figured what he was really asking for. He turned to the girl and noticed her garments- a pink crop top shirt and ripped jeans. He sighed as he removed the shirt from her body. He could feel the guard ogling his eyes at her chest.

“Here, proof. Happy?” The man asked as the guard nodded his head frantically, still drooling.

The masked man looked at the girl. He pitied her for a mistake she never did. But this was an order, and he had to do it.

… 

Ananya slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry. She was aware that she wasn’t in her house. Her eyes regained its picture and she saw herself in an untidy cottage. One of her arm and leg was tied to the edges of the bed. She tried to remove them.

“Try to move and it will hurt,” she heard a voice say.

“Who are you?!” She yelled “Why are you doing this to me?!”

“The fault is not in you or me. This fight is between our dads. Your dad betrayed mine and gained his share of business. I’m just following his orders of trying to get his rich status back.” He explained “You can call me Mr. Black. It’s not really my name, but it will do.”

“Are you gonna do something to me?!” She narrowed a disgusting glance at him.

“Girl, you were unconscious for 4 hours. The chloroform took a great toll on you. If I had the chance, I would have done,” he remarked, pointing to her upper body. That’s when Ananya realised her shirt was missing. She gasped as she hid her body from his eyes.

“Don’t worry. You are beautiful but I know what women are like with dignity. I didn’t lay a finger on you.”

His words convinced her. She felt safe but she wanted to escape.

She could sense his eagerness to enjoy her. She thought of a plan.

“Can I be released? I want to walk,” 

“This is a small space. What would you do walking here?” He questioned.

“Mr. Black, I have been tied up for 4 hours and could really use some stretching. Please?”

The man agreed. He took his small knife from his sock and cut her ropes. She was free!

She stepped up. She took small steps, inch by inch but tripped over, almost falling. The man rushed to her, helping her up by grasping her hands. She smiled to herself- it was working. But he was being true to his word. She didn’t want to ruin his trust on her, she might not get the chance again. Maybe, now wasn’t the time.

“I need to rest. The chloroform effect is still there,”she convinced him. He laid her to sit on the bed.

“Why are you doing this?” Ananya asked.

“I already told you,” he replied.

“No, why are YOU doing this?”

“It’s personal.” He cut her off.

Ananya looked at his arm- a tattoo of two lions with a snake sliding through them.

“Is that tattoo your gang symbol?” She asked.

“Stop asking questions! Don’t make me drug you again! I’m waiting for father’s orders on what to do next. So hush!” he threatened. The twitching of her nose made him realise how scared she was. He sighed, rubbing his thumb and forefinger against his forehead.

“Look, I know you are scared and unaware and want something to do to pass time, but please, be silent. You are lucky-most guys aren’t like me. By now they would have devoured you.”

Ananya realised her situation, too. He wasn’t her longtime friend- he was her kidnapper and she was his victim. She quietly obliged. 

The phone was ringing. The man picked his phone. The contact flashed his father’s name: Raghuvaran Khan aka dad.

“Dad, I got the girl.” He reported.

“Yes, I have received the evidence. Good job. What is she doing now?”

“She is semi- conscious. You know how chloroform is.”

“Good. Good. Now, enjoy her.”

“Dad?!”

“I said enjoy her! Satisfy your pleasure, young man!”

“Baba you know I’m not that type! you didn’t raise me like that- you know how mom would react!”

“Rahul is my sworn enemy. He betrayed me, Dhruv! And your mother is dead, so what now? She’s the daughter of my nemesis and my easy ticket to revenge. Do it, Dhruv! It is an order!” he hung up the phone.

Dhruv sighed. He looked at the innocent Ananya, staring at the floor. She was raised like a princess, and now had to be spoilt because of him.

Dhruv went to her. Ananya looked up at him.

“Ananya, I need to stripe you off. “ Dhruv revealed.

“W-what? You said you wouldn’t! You promised!” Ananya yelled, backing away.

“What am I to you, a gentleman? I already told you my father’s character- he is thirsty for revenge, and I am the puppet for his orders. You are his easy ticket- you can make Rahul vulnerable as my dad slowly rises to the top. Now please, just follow my lead. I don’t want things complicated here.”

“No, no please! You are a good guy! Don’t be a part of it, please! You still have a chance!” She held his shoulders, looking beseechingly at his eyes.

“CAN’T YOU SEE?! ONE WRONG MOVE AND I AM DONE FOR! JUST LET ME DO MY FREAKING JOB!” He tried to slid his arm into her waist, to follow his boss’ orders.

“No, please,” she begged him.

“Should I drug you, then?” He offered in a threatening voice as before “Don’t wake up my nasty side, Ananya. Things get a little ugly, then.”

Dhruv felt the vibration of the ringing phone in his pocket. It was his dad again.

“You haven’t started, right Dhruv?”

“No dad, I was about to.”

“Great! You are a gem of a boy, Dhruv! Rahul just called me_ he was begging me to release his daughter, Dhruv! Ha! Begging me! I commanded him to lend me everything he owns and he is instantly agreeing to it! That girl is our lucky charm, Dhruv! We are back at the top, you hear me?!”

“That’s great, dad!” He feigned the excitement in his voice as he hung the phone.

Dhruv looked at Ananya’s quivering lips and frightened eyes. He wanted to hug her with true intentions, and console her. But all she could see was his negative side.

“I think you are gonna be free soon. Your dad is giving up his business to us so you can be sent back to him. Our goal is complete. Thank you for cooperating.” He blankly informed her.

Ananya could be jumping in joy as if like a kid who has won something. Freedom meant more to her than never before, now, But that’s when she realised her dad’s love for her, too.

“How bout we both set free?” She suggested.

“Are you bonkers, Ananya?” He chuckled at her silly thought “Just, go on.”

“No, listen to me, Dhruv!” She forced him to turn to her by grabbing his muscular shoulders. He was shocked at her sudden move.

“How do you know my name?” He paused and thought “You eavesdropped our phone conversation, didn’t you?”

“Maybe,” she gave a sheepish smile “Bur I know a plan that would set us both free. Do you trust me in this, Dhruv?”

“Abandon the thoughts, Ananya. We are sticking to one plan- our plan and that’s it. I don’t want any trouble.” He frustratedly marched towards the sink.

Ananya was adamant. Both of them deserved to be free. She went to him. He spotted her reflection on the sink mirror and sighed as he turned.

“What?” He scoffed.

She crashed her lips against his- it was the same feeling he enjoyed the first time at the mall but controlled himself. This time he was startled at her move. He leant against the sink as she moved closer to him, making sure her breast touched his chest. His moans of pleasure encouraged her to give him more. His colossal hand reached for her hair as he uncurled it from the loose bun she had worn. He kept hugging her svelte, voluptuous frame as she unzipped her jeans, revealing her body only covered with her undergarments. The heat of the moment was on the rise. Dhruv was removing his jacket too, only wearing his trunks, and leaving his chest bare. They were still in the kiss, passionately. Ananya loved his bare body, as much as he loved hers. This wasn’t any force at all. It was love. He slid his hands into her panties, feeling her butt line. The other hand reached for her young breasts, as he removed her bra. Both of them plopped onto the bed, slowly discovering each other’s young, tender, fleshy virgin skin. He cupped her breasts and sucked her nipples, and Ananya moaned with pleasure. He reached for her thighs, his lips kissing them, as he made his way to her vaginal folds. Each time he licked them, she let out a painful whine of passion, and he kept consoling her by kissing her luscious lips. It was a night of desire.

There they were, tired, sleepy and naked on the bed, as he hugged her closer to him like a teddy bear. He moaned in delight- he wondered if it was his fantasy dream- but no, it was all real. He wondered why.

“Why did you do this?” Dhruv asked her, playing with her hair strands as she laid back against him.

“Now we are both free,” she smiled.

“How?” He asked, astounded.

“I am no longer innocent, Dhruv. You made me yours. I’m no longer virgin. Which means, you gain an equal share of dad’s wealth if you ask him for our marriage. Your dad won’t be a part of it. It was your desire, not his.”

Dhruv sadly smiled “So this was the part of the plan, too?”

“Yes and no. I did this out of love, too. I love you for who you are, Dhruv. You are a good guy- I hope you’ve seen it yourself- like you said other guys would have devoured me but you resisted respecting our dignity as women. I love you for that Dhruv. This is definitely not who you are.” Ananya smiled as she kissed his cheek.

“Is the chloroform still on you? I think I can smell it,” he joked.

“Oh stop it, Mr. Black,” she laughed.

… 

Fast forward to two years 

“That son of a jerk betrayed me, that devil!” Raghuvaran yells. Dhruv and Ananya were happily married and settled in Paris. He was sitting in his armchair, scrolling through their Instagram handle. Until one picture caught his eye .

It was a recent picture- two months precisely. The decorations were all pink and blue, screaming invitingly that it was a Gender Reveal Party. He couldn’t believe it- Ananya had been pregnant. And they had revealed it was a girl. He smiled to himself. A filthy smile. He stared at the picture: Dhruv was too happy- he had to destroy his life. Just like he did.

“Part 2 coming soon!” He laughed as he threw an ink pen at the screen- the ink oozed from the nib at Dhruv’s face, symbolising the imminent bloodshed.
