Chapter 152 - 151 Ex- husband or should I say Late Ex- Husband

Shreya walked forward simultaneously texting away on her phone to Ayush.

Shreya: Stay sharp. No mistakes this time. Nobody makes a move until I give you the signal.

The other phone had the details of all her networks. She couldn't really risk people getting their hands on it. Her network was actually very simple. It was not some underworld gang or something even though she did have connections there too. But her primary information network was actually a chain of petty shops. No matter where you go, you will always have one or two petty shops in the vicinity no matter how remote the location is. She hired each and every such shop to be her informant.

The reward is money or anything that they want within reason. And to ensure loyalty, she sponsored their kids through school and college and then employed them in one of her companies itself. Which in turn benefited her since not only they were loyal to her but also hard working. It took a lot of work but was efficient and effective since such shops had bigger ears than police itself most of the time and the return they expected was actually less than that of gangs.

Shreya walked beyond the field and hid behind a tree. She wanted them to find her but if she was too obvious about it, it would arise suspicion. She securely hid the smalled knife in her boot heels while kept the bigger one very conspicuously.

Minutes ticked by… she heard steps flooding all around her. She moved around the tree carefully. Her top scarped against the tree bark tearing it.

She looked at the top pitiful. She really liked the top.

Just then, she felt hard metal being pointed at her temple. She froze and acted scared and panicked very skillfully. First, they frisked her and her phone was thrown out, and the bigger knife was confiscated. Next minute a black bag was flung over her head and she was dragged along through the field blinded. When she felt a hard road under her foot, a car came to a standstill in front of her with a screeching sound.

She was then stuffed into a trunk after being tied up and gagged. Her eyes turned impossibly cold and her face expressionless. She remained calm and patient all the way. After a short drive, the car came to a stop and someone opened the trunk.

She was once again dragged out to walk. This time around the path was rougher making it harder to walk with the blindfolds. She stumbled over and scrapped herself several times before pulled to a stop.

The rolling sound of a shutter door was heard and she was pulled towards it. After walking for a dozen steps, she was pushed down to the floor.

Just from the fact that none of them spoke a single word from when they took her gave away the fact that none of them here was the boss but the group was extremely disciplined. And right on time, a phone rang, a guy's voice rang through the room. Because of the absolute silence around both sides of the conversation can be heard if only one would concentrate and listened. "Did you get her??"

"Yes, sir!!" The guy from here answered.

"Casualties??"

"None… Her bodyguards ran away leaving her alone." The guy from here answered.

"I am two minutes away…" The guy said on the line before hanging up.

"Secure the place…" The guy commanded which was followed up a whole bunch of footsteps.

Shreya stayed down. And exactly two minutes later, a bunch of footsteps was heard and she was hauled to sit on a chair and the bag over her head was removed along with her gag. It took a minute to focus with a sudden flash of light but when she did, she was met with a cold pair of eyes. A few seconds later she was hit with the pungent smell of cigarettes and the smoke making her cough badly.

The guy in front of her had a mean look dressed completely in black, balanced a cigarette between his teeth, and looked at her unwaveringly. He sat there in front of her leisurely with an expressionless face reading her like a book with interest.

"Take that out of my face… I don't really like the smell!!" Shreya said arrogantly gesturing at his cigarette once she calmed down from her coughing fit. Her eyes had no fear whatsoever.

The guy couldn't really help the small sinister smile creep into his face. He still put the cigarette down and stubbed it.

"Your husband never knew what hit him, did he??" The guy asked in his amused rough voice.

"Ex- husband… or should I say Late- ex-husband!!" Shreya corrected him with a sweet smile that could make any normal guy fall to his knees.

"So you know about that too!!" The guy asked. His amus.e.m.e.nt with her grew with every time she spoke in that unhurried arrogant tone in spite of being where she was and how she was.

Prasanna never had a chance. He was a fool to have jumped ship with Rakesh. He probably could have lived better if he had begged her rather than going against her. It was almost embarrassing to extract information from that whining idiot. It only took one hour.

But looking at Shreya… somehow he felt is going to be fun.

"Please, it was not really that much of a challenge!!" Shreya said shrugging her shoulders.

"And yet here you are!!" The guy said mockingly.

"You seriously think you could have caught me that easily if I didn't want to be caught??" Shreya smirked back.

"So we are surrounded by your people!! Interesting!!" The guy said but his eyes, at last, had a spark of passion. He looked almost happy to have found a challenging adversary, at last.

But the bulky guy standing behind him got agitated. He signaled his men to go take a look. After 10 minutes, they came back empty.

All this while Shreya and the guy in the chair had a staring match neither of them ready to quit anytime soon.

The bulky guy stormed towards Shreya and pulled her up by her collars and demanded, "Call them, now…"

Shreya just smirked back.

That smirk was so mocking that it pissed the bulky guy off to no end. A few heavy punches landed on her face and gut… Shreya still did not back down nor did she even let out a groan. She just looked at him daringly spitting out a mouth full of blood as if she was spitting out a gum after chewing.

The bulky guy pulled out his gun and aimed at her point-blank to her temple.

"Call them off, or you're dead!!" He threatened.

Shreya did not even blink… her expression did not twitch even an ounce. She had the same steady arrogant stare daring him to continue.
