Chapter - 2

Author's Pov.:-

" What were you even thinking before bringing me to such a place? " Theodore yelled under his voice at his best friend who is looking more than stupid to him right now. The place is not for them to visit. Being a classy man it's against his upbringing to even look at such a place let alone visit. So, ladies and gentlemen, Vishv has brought Theodore to the City-H famous brothel, and all sorts of criminal roots place hidden under the legal business name.

" Cool down bro. This place has everything which we're looking for. " Vishv responds nodding at the bouncer before getting into a dark and shabby passageway. Meanwhile, Theodore frowns his face in discontent. He's facing difficulty breathing in such a place. This place is turning his thoughts in all the bad directions. He's not getting any good vibes from here. Besides that, the dim light and odd silence aren't helping him either to think straight.

*grunts* *groans* *screams*

His ears perk up hearing heavy voices coming from the end of the corridor. Theodore frowned at Vishv who ignored his confused look and headed ahead. With each step, the voices got clear to him. Heavy groans, screams, grunts, and punches excite him. The sudden brightness caused his eyes to close for a couple of seconds.

Adjusting his eyes to the brightness he looked at the wildness before him. He found himself standing at the height and the bottom of the room, there is a big ring in the center which is guarded with metal chain walls. From there these two can see the two fighters in the ring bleeding each other like a wild lion. The bidders are cheering for their fighters. The ring is lightened up with heavy lights. Looking at the ring old memories get fresh for both best friends.

" Are we thinking the same? " Theodore questioned smirking at Vishv who rolled his eyes at his friend but was thankful that at least his sour and miserable mood is long gone.

" What do you think, why are we here for? " Vishv said as a bouncer of the slim and thin body came near him with a file. Vishv passed the documents to Theodore who nodded at the small-frame bouncer or security guard before reading the pages. Meanwhile, the guard looked at his facial details keenly. Theodore was a handsome man and can make any head turn when he walks. The same effect is happening to Jeevika. Her eyes read his sharp jawline, manly face, and beautiful deep black eyes.

" What a pleasant surprise to see you two here. Very unexpected! Out of the blue! What I can do for you both? " both the best friends got disturbed by a cold and dark voice of a man who silences the whole ring along with every single person just by his presence. All heads turned to the three of them. Everyone is curious to know who are these two men who made their king walk to them and meet them.

" Hello there, Mr. Niven Singh Rathore " Vishv greet the owner of the place while Theodore frowned at him because he never knew that he can be the owner of this place. After all, Rathores are known for their royal life, and doing such businesses isn't appropriate. Nevertheless, Theodore ignored that and acknowledged Niven's forwarded hand for a handshake.

" Come let's go to my office and have a good chat, " Niven said making both the best friends nod their heads before following him while acknowledging every single detail of their surroundings. On a single wave, refreshments were served as both the best friends took their respective seats.

Soon after a couple of minutes, we get to see Vishv standing by the ring side betting his money while Theodore and Niven both are inside the ring. Rather than the screams, hooting, or any kind of activity, the room is dropped into cold silence. Every eye is glued to them and most of them praying for Theodore's life because they all know how wild and horrible fighter Niven can be when it comes to fighting.

" Bro go easy on him. " Vishv shouted waving at Theodore who shook his head at him meanwhile Niven smirked coldly at both the men. Firstly Niven removed his robe showing off his built-up, tattooed, and strong body. People screamed for him. In no time everyone came to the frightening ring room whoever got the news of the king fighting. The room filled with screams when Theodore removed his robe and everyone was surprised by his toned, muscular, built, and manly body. Theodore enjoyed the audience's reaction toward his body. After all, he was always fond of attention.

With the bell, Niven threw a punch at Theodore who blocked it while throwing a punch back at him making the audience scream in joy. So, when they were in Niven's office they came to this fun game when Theodore disclosed to him that he used to be an underground fighter back in his college days and Niven was also very fond of fights. Eventually, Niven proposed this idea and Theodore couldn't say no out of curiosity. He wants to see Niven's fighting skills more than winning against him.

Theodore along with his punches threw a kick at Niven who blocked it and repeat Theodore's action but in his style. Both the men are nearly the same age, Niven is just two months elder than Theodore. As Niven punched Theodore in his jaw his body threw against the chain wall making him pound back at Niven like a wild lion. Sweat drops are running down their hot body. Both the men ain't looking less than a God's masterpiece. None of them holds himself back from hitting.

Niven back-elbowed Theodore and flew his body at 180 to throw his body before him from his behind. On the other hand, Theodore grunted in anger and pulled Niven down to shower punches back to back at his face. Niven covered up his head with his hands and somehow managed to push away Theodore. Both the men again pounce on each other like wild lions.

In no time both of them bleed each other. Theodore's nose was bleeding so Niven's cheek was broken. Both of them have caused each other big damage and pain making the crowd go crazy for both of them. Everyone is screaming that this is the fight they want to see daily. None of them have seen a fight like this before.

It was Niven who took the support of the chain wall by slapping his body against the wall and jumped up in the air to bounce a punch right on Theodore's jaw who in no time fall flat on the ground with a heavy grunt and moaned in pain eventually. Niven was announced as the winner eventually. Theodore congratulates him as he set on the chair and was wiping the blood off his nose.

" Today's dinner is on me. " Niven said to Theodore who nod at him in acknowledgment. Both the men looked at Vishv who looking upset because he lost his money, after all, he had put his money on Theodore. " I need to use the washroom. Where is it? " Theodore asked Niven who was putting on an ice bag on his cheeks.

Meanwhile, Jeevika released a heavy sigh after coming out of the fighting ring hall. Only she knows how she managed to portray a rough look on her face, all she wanted to scream in horror, even when she was asked to serve refreshments to the king's office. She was never there before, going into the king's office was her first time. Her poor soul was turning around inside her body out of horror because she knew that her disguise can be caught if she catch the king's eyes. Thankfully her stay in his office was a couple of seconds short.

Their wild fight panorama isn't leaving her head. Her head is heavy because of that. How can someone be so ruthless? But she shook away that surprise because she witness them with her very own eyes. From watching them fighting it's clear to her that both the men are heartless and inhuman. She's seen fights before in the same ring but never deadly like today's one.

Her soul is still shivering just by the mere recall of their fight. ' Both the men are bloody monsters. Inhuman and ruthless! ' Jeevika thought recalling how they both bleed each other yet both of them looked completely fine after the fight as if non of them have bleed a single drop of blood. ' I never want to come across any of them. Both are scary and bad news ' Jeevika thought recalling the incident when by mistake she made eye contact with Theodore at the time passing a file to Vishv. Only she knew how big the ocean his eyes were where she drowned helplessly. However, she can't lie that just by standing close to him her sixth sense warned her to never get close to this man again or else her life will be hell to her. Besides that, she was thankful that at least she was undercover in a man's disguise which helped her.

" uuuhhh! " as she turned to the next corridor a stingy smell and something hot fell upon her chest. Her face shrink in surprise however her gut twisted because of the odd odor. Snapping her eyes open with a big frown, her eyes fired draggers at the woman who puke over her. She looked down at the mess created by the woman and cursed herself multiple times. ' Why the fuck do you give blow job when you can't handle it! ' Jeevika cursed but didn't say that to her. Pushing aside the woman Jeevika ran before she too puked over someone else and end up creating havoc. The pungent smell of the vomit is twisting her gut in a very wrong way. Any moment, she'll empty her gut, out of disgust.

She entered the first washroom which came into her sight. After finding the complete washroom empty, she hurriedly locked the door and stripped, leaving only her garments on. However, when she saw a stain on her chest band she removed it too to watch it. " Bloody stupid woman! Increased my work! " Jeevika cursed the woman while washing her white shirt and black blazer. Thankfully her pant didn't get that much dirty. Soon she was done washing her clothes, however, the bad smell from her body wasn't getting well with her, therefore, she ended up washing her body as well.

It was when she was taping her chest with a chest band she heard some moments from the other corner of the washroom right opposite her. Her head snapped up looking right up in the mirror. Her horror-filled, mercy-begging eyes met with his cold, hollow, dominating, and threatening eyes. Her moments froze looking at the man in the mirror. Her body turned cold as she felt his sharp gaze running all over her brown skin. Instantly her eyes lowered feeling embarrassed and humiliated because this man is touching her soul with his hungry eyes with no shame. She cursed her fate because she doesn't know why she has to go through those things from which she runs away. The worst nightmare is standing right behind her. She can feel her heart dropping into a deep pit of her stomach. The cold sweat drop ran down from her forehead causing a shiver to run down her spine. The goosebumps jolt up on her skin when he tried to move a step in her direction. Her heavy eyelashes are dropping down but still, she's watching his every movement from the corner of her eyes. Only if someone else was there then she would have knocked that person down but she can't even harm a single hair of this man.

Sensing his bad intentions she hurriedly tried to wear her clothes when he stopped in his steps and took two steps back while looking away from her. Her act was obvious and she doesn't want him near her at all. Her behavior said clearly that only by force he can have her which he doesn't want. However, his keen eyes narrowed looking at her outfit and the fake mustache and beard. Unknowingly he shook his head with a smirk.

' God! Why me? Don't you love me anymore that you push me into a lion's den? This man will eat me alive now! And God knows what will king do to me for fooling him? Whatever happens now, I'll endure all that, just I hope they won't kill me or torture me to death. ' Jeevika cried while getting dressed and hoping for a miracle.

" Get the fuck out of here! " a small scream left her mouth when she heard his cold and threatening voice. Only if she knows what her small scream has done to him then she would have better shut her mouth. Her thin frame jolted when she heard him banging the door shut lock and walking back into the same spot where he was standing before and watching her. However, she was quick, before he could say or do anything she was done getting dressed up as a man. As he was coming back to his spot she ran out of the door from which she entered leaving him in fury. However, they had eye contact in which he made it clear that no matter what he'll get her soon. On the other hand, Jeevika was breathless and frightened.

' God! Save me! ' Jeevika prayed running out of the place even when her shift wasn't over yet. Now one thing is clear to her this man won't let her live peacefully.

" What are you doing here standing? " Niven questioned him.
