Jack POV:
In my whole life, I have never felt this much fear and pain as I'm feeling now.
It's been a week since we came back to New York, and her condition is better than before. Now she can walk freely and eat whatever she wants.
She just has a little scratch on her forehead. This one week was so terrifying for me, and it was so hard for me not to tell her the news, which would break her completely. First, I thought not to tell her, but then something clicked in my mind: what if in the future she got to know about this, and she got to know that I knew about that news? Then what if she started hating me for hiding this big news from her?
Even though I can't say those words, it's breaking me even thinking about the words that the doctor said.
Currently, I am sitting in my study room and thinking about everything that has happened in this one week. All the time I have was for her, Jack, because I don't want to do any kind of shit and then touch her with the same hands. No, I can't. I can't let her even feel those bastards 'presence from my hand. That's why I was so cowed, and I was behaving like everything was so normal, but the reality is that nothing is normal. All this time, I wasn't even able to blink my eyes because the thought of the people hurting my Amore is sleeping peacefully and enjoying their lives after destroying my life.
So how could I live my life without destroying their life?
I was thinking about all this when I heard the sound of heels and the giggles of a baby.
Which made me instantly turn to look back. As I looked outside, my heart felt like it skipped many beats. The scene in front of me was like a dream for me.
Here, my Amore was coming, but this world was not something that made me react like this; it was something else. She was not coming alone. She was holding something, or I would say someone. That someone is a baby.
She was holding a baby in her hand and smiling with her whole heart while walking toward me.
"Jack, look who comes today to our house." Saying this, she showed the baby to me.
"Hey, baby, say hi to Uncle... Say hello," she said and started making cute faces and sounds.
But I didn't locate him, but I was looking at her smile and the happiness on her face while holding someone else's baby. She was hugging that baby close to her heart.
"See, Jack, how cute he is? You know I also want a baby like him. Oh my God, he is so cute." Saying this, she kissed his cheeks.
Seeing this, my eyes become red. So I immediately turned to the other side. I can feel she is looking at me. I clench my hand in a fist.
No, I can't tell her. I can't break her happiness, her dreams. She is going to break. God, why her?
I was thinking about this when she came in front of me and looked at my face.
"Jack, what happened? Why is your face red??... Are you crying?" She asked me and took my face in her hands.
She was not holding the baby in her hand now; maybe she gave the baby to the servant.
"Nothing is just some stress," I said.
She looked at my face for some time and then asked me a question that I was avoiding.
"Are you hiding something from me??"
"No...why will I hide something from you?" I said, but I didn't look at her this time.
"Look into my eyes and say this again," she said.
No, I can't lie while looking into her eyes. I took a deep breath and said.
"Amore, there is something that I'm hiding from you," I said and looked to the other side.
"And what is that??" She asked me, but her tone was the same as before.
This much trust she has in me. Do I deserve her trust?
I rub my face to prepare myself to tell her... I looked at her and said something that made her eyes widen. Tears come into her eyes.
Third-person POV:
Naina was looking into Jack's eyes; on the other hand, he was not looking at her.
"What are you saying, Jack??" Naina held his elbow and shook him.
"The truth...that we can't be parents," he said.
"Why, what happened? Tell me." Naina asked him. Tears were falling from her eyes.
He looked at her and said,
"I can't give you a baby."
"What??" She whispers.
"Amore." He held her elbow and looked into her eyes.
"I...I can't be a father," he said, which made her eyes wide.
"Yes, I have a disease. In this, I can't be a father. I'm sorry, Amore. I didn't tell you this before. Please forgive me, " he said, letting her hands and then turned to the other side. Showing her his back.
He holds the chair so tightly as not to break down.. He is ready to take all the blame on himself. He will tell everyone he is at fault; she is fine. He doesn't give a damn about what others think or say. But he cares for her and only for her.
He will tell the whole world that Jack is not perfect, but his Amore is perfect. So that everyone believes in him, and the truth will not come out. He will die with this truth, but...but he will not tell her.
He can bear any pain. But he can't see her in pain. She will break.
"Jack, why didn't you tell me this before?" He heard her question.
"Because I was scared that you would leave me... You know you are beautiful, smart, intelligent, and whatnot. There are so many jerks out there who are waiting for you... I was scared. What if you left me and went to them? I..." He isn't able to say anything further.
Naina was crying. Seeing how Jack was suffering from all this. But he didn't tell her, thinking that she would leave him.
Naina made him sit on the sofa and then sit on the floor. Then she took her face in her palms.
"You don't need to feel insecure or scared. Because I'm not going to leave you in this berth. You have to bear with me." She said to make him smile.
But he was looking at her.
"Tell me one thing..."
"If I had the same issue. Like, if I can't be a mother, then would you have left me?"
She asked and wiped his tears.
Her question broke something in him.
"No, right... Then why are you thinking all this? Chill, you know you don't have to worry. There are so many options. Like we can adopt a baby or a surrogate. You don't worry, we will have a baby for sure...become parents." This time, Naina wasn't able to control her tears, and they started falling.
Seeing this, Jack hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry, Amore. Please forgive me," He said again.
"Why are you sorry?. We will work on this together, okay,y" She said, her voice cracking.
I know she is hurt. But this pain
Jack was thinking this when she took his face in her hands and kissed him on his forehead.
"Don't take stress, okay?" Saying this, she kissed his palm and stood up from the sofa.
"See how big and stupid I am? I was making pasta for us, and I forgot in the middle... You do your work, and I will come in sometime, okay?" Saying this, she wipes his face with her dress. Then she went out of the study room without looking at him.
"Sorry, Amore, please forgive your Jack for hiding this," he whispers, and then suddenly takes the light stand and throws it in the room.
In minutes, the whole room was destroyed.
"Ughhhhhh....why God, why her?" He yelled that when he received a call from his secretary.
"Boss, that nurse is waking up now, and the other guards too," Max informed him.
"Fine, I'm coming. Till then, you take care of them." Saying this, Jack cut the call.
"You should not have involved her in this. Till then, I was silent, but now be ready to face me." Saying this, he took the gun from the drawer and left.
Here, Naina was standing in the kitchen while looking at the zero. Pasta was boiling, and water was coming up, but her focus was not on it.
"MA'AM," a maid shouted when she saw that the hot water was going to fall on Naina's hand. Seeing this, she immediately pulled Naina back.
Naina came out of her Dreamland and looked at the kitchen slab, which was now covered with hot water. Where has she kept her hand?
"Are you okay, ma'am?" the maid asked her.
Hearing her words, Naina came out of her thoughts.
"Ugh...yes, I'm...I'm okay. Ahm, can you please make pasta for me, please?" Naina asked her, to which the maid nodded with a smile.
Naina nodded and left the kitchen.
Coming inside the room, she walks toward the closet. She was walking like her body didn't have any energy.
Suddenly, she stopped and looked at the front. In front of her, there was a mirror.
She looked at her whole body, then her eyes went to her stomach.
"I can't be a father."
She heard those words again, and without her knowing, her hand went to her stomach, and she touched her stomach.
Tears came into her eyes.
"Usay lagta hai ki me bewakuf hu. Joo mujhe samajh nhi aayega ki wo juth bolega aur mujhe pata bhi nhi chalega."
(He thinks that I'm stupid.) That's why he is lying, and I am not going to know about it.
"Hey, Mahadev, Maine aise konse punya kiye the jo meri jholi me aapne usay daal diya? Mujhe pata hai ki wo kuch toh chhupa rha hai aur mujhe nahi bata raha. Khud hi us dard ko jhel rha hai. Kya hamara rishta itna bhi strong nhi hai ki wo mujhse apne dukh share kare? Upper se usne itni badhi baat bol di wo bhi meri aakho me dekh kar." She whispers and then falls on the floor.
(Hey God, what good thing have I done that you give him in my life? I know he is hiding something from me and suffering the whole pain alone. Is our relationship not strong enough to share pain?? And on top of that, he said such a big thing while looking into my eyes.
"Lekin me usse kuch nahi puchogi. Jabtak wo mujhe khud nhi btayega. Wo mujse apna dukh tho nahi batt rha me aur usse saw karke me uska dukh aur nhi badhaugi," she said and wiped her tears.
(But I'm not going to ask him anything.) Until he tells me himself. He is not sharing his pain with me. But I'm not going to give him more pain.
Then she put a fake smile on her face. After correcting her look, she went out of the closet.
Here, Jack was driving on the road at full speed.
After some time, he was in front of a house that looked like it had burned. There were so many guards standing around the house. It was giving very creepy vibes.
As his car came in front of the house. One guard immediately went toward the car and opened the door.
Then Jack steps out of the car with his dangerous aura. Seeing him, everyone stood in their place in a straight line.
Jack, without looking at anyone, went inside the house.
They walked for some time, then came in front of a door.
A guard opened the door, and a painful scream came from the room, along with the smell of blood.
Jack smirked.
As he came inside, he saw that the nurse was getting beaten by his lady guards, and on the other side, the other male guard was beating the men who had attacked Naina that day.
After Naina had woken up and started to recover, she told him what had happened that day and who had attacked her.
He was having doubts about his father, but after hearing from her, he was sure now.
He sat on the chair and looked at all of them.
"I guess you are enjoying my hospitality," he said, took off his glasses, and gave them to his guard.
Hearing his voice, everyone stopped and looked at him.
"You are going to regret this, Mr. Williams. He is not going to leave you and kill that bitch for whom you are doing this," one guy shouts from the side.
\---
He turned slowly, looking at the man who had just spoken. He was bleeding from his mouth, one eye swollen shut. But even in his broken state, he dared to take my father’s name.
“Mr. Williams?” he repeated with a smirk.
“You think that man can save you?”
He stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and lifted his bloodied face. Jack's voice was low—deadly calm.
“He’s the reason you’re here in my mercy. I want to kill all of my hands, but before that, I will kill that cowardly dog who doesn't have the guts to attack me. I will cut him into pieces and then feed him to my pets. He will shut up and plead, but in the end, he will face the worst side of me."
Saying this, Jack pushed him back, and he fell like a sack of trash.
“Max.”
“Yes, boss? He replied, standing at attention.
“Burn his body. Burn his family name from his memory. I want them all to remember only one name when they scream—JACK WILLIAMS."
The guards dragged the man away, and then he walked toward the centre of the room. The nurse who tried to drug Naina was lying on the ground, sobbing and screaming as my female guards kept beating her.
He stood in front of her.
She looked up at me, her lips trembling, blood dripping from her nose.
“Please... please, I didn’t mean to hurt her… They paid me. I swear.”
He bent down, pulled her face up by her hair, and looked into her eyes.
“You didn’t mean to hurt her?”
He chuckled and said
"You were trying to inject her with this, right??... Now you have to face this."
He leaned even closer.
“She said please too, didn't she?”
She shook her head violently. “No—no, she didn’t—”
SLAP.
She was saying when the female guard slapped her.
“Tie her to the chair. Get the injections. The same ones she used on my amore,” he ordered to his guards.
Hearing his words, the nurse started screaming.
"Y-You can’t—! That’s illegal!” She screamed.
“So was what you did to her.” His voice is made of ice now.
“Now it’s your turn to feel helpless. Just like she did.” Jack said dangerously.
They tied her up. She struggled. She cried. But I didn’t stop them.
\---
Half an hour later…
He was standing outside the room, watching through the glass.
They weren’t torturing.
They were educating them—injecting the same paralysing serum, keeping them conscious as their bodies shut down one by one, leaving their minds awake. It wasn’t permanent, but the fear would be.
Max stepped out of the room and handed me a file.
“Boss, here’s the list of all those involved. Including the payment trail.”
He scanned through it. One name stood out.
Raymond Williams.
His blood boiled.
"Where is he now???" Jack asked.
"In India," Max said.
Hearing this, Jack's facial expression changed.
"Do preparation; we are going to India," Jack said and put his hand in his pants pocket.
“Are you sure?” Max asked. “This will start a war, sir.”
He looked at him, a smirk playing on his lips.
"War? I am the war,” and look outside the window.
\---
Back at Home—
She was sitting in front of her dressing table, the mirror reflecting her broken expression.
But she was no longer crying.
She was preparing herself for something big. Something darker.
Because she knew… Jack’s silence was a sign of his storm.
And this time… he wasn’t going to leave the survivors.
Suddenly, the phone rings, and she looks at it. It was her mother's call. Something is strange. Her mom never called her in the afternoon.
"Haa maa bolo," Naina said after taking the call. Only to be welcomed by her mother's painful cries.
(Yes, Mom, say)
"Kya hua maa, aap ro kyu rahi ho?? Sab theek hai na?" Naina asked immediately and stood from the bed.
(What happened, Mom??) Why are you crying?? Everything is okay, na??)
"Beta...kuch theek nhi hai. Tere...tere baba ka accident ho gaya hai. Wo hospital me hai," her mother said and then started crying.
(Child, nothing is good.) Your... Your dad had an accident, and he is in the hospital.
"Kya?" Naina whispers in shock.
(what)
"Beta Tu jaldi se yaha aa ja. Ye pagal doctor log kuch bhi bol rahe hai. Tu bas jaldi aaja." Saying this, her mom cut the call.
(Child, you come here quickly.) These stupid doctors are saying stupid things. You come quickly. You just come quickly.)HHereNaina was standing in her place like a statue. Suddenly, the phone fell from her hand, and then she sat on the bed with a thud.
"Mujhe jald se jald India jana hoga." Saying this, she took her phone and dialled Jack's number.
(I have to go to India as soon as possible.)
"You are missing me." She heard a voice behind her, which made her look behind.
When he saw her crying face, he got tense.
"What happened, amore?. Did something happen? Tell me." He asked while wiping her tears.
"Jack... Actually...actually, Dad...Dad. Jack, we have to go to India now. Please take me there," she said. She hugged him tightly and started crying.
"Don't worry, Amore, we are going to INDIA," Jack said.
"Your death is coming, Raymond Williams," he thought and smirked.
