Chapter 13 - Wouldn’t Spare Anyone

"What she said is true. We really are legally married."

Hearing Ruhan's words, Mr. Ahmed's face became unsightly.

He admitted!!! He really did get married!!!!

When Lisa approached him a few days ago claiming that she and his son had secretly married, his first reaction was, 'ridiculous'! His son liked to play around with girls. That was one of his biggest headaches. But he never considered about marrying them.

Mr. Ahmed obviously didn't believe her.

But when Lisa presented them their marriage certificate, he was taken aback. How could he deny such evidence?

If Lisa had not been an Akter, had she been any other ordinary girl, he could have found a way to solve this problem. Either by offering money or by offering some benefits.

But Lisa belonged to their circle. The company already had to pay heavy price for Ruhan's scandal with Samia. If this incidence came into light, of course his competitors wouldn't let it slide. They would join forces against the Ahmeds. No matter how much powerful they were, they wouldn't be able to survive a combined attack .

He had those papers checked. They were authentic. Ruhan also had had contact with Lisa 2months ago. As she claimed. There wasn't any inconsistency.

Still he was reluctant to believe Lisa. Not because he trusted Lisa, but because he knew his son too well. Whenever there was any conversation about his marriage, he would give different excuses in order to delay it. He really liked his freedom. So why would he suddenly end up marrying Lisa?

Today Lisa contacted him that if he wanted proof, he had to come to this address .

He never expected to witness this scene.

Above all, his son admitted everything, so there was no room left for suspicion.

Truth be told, he also liked this girl Lisa.

Before Lisa was engaged to Miraz, the Aktars were also hinted that if they agree, the Ahmeds would like to pair up Lisa and Ruhan. But Mr. And Mrs. Akter denied saying that Lisa was still studying and too young.

A few months later, Mr. Ahmed got the news that Lisa and Miraz were going to be engaged. He immediately understood that the excuse that was given was bogus. They just didn't want Ruhan to be their son in law.

At first he was very angry and felt humiliated. But after pondering his anger gradually calmed down. Any parents who didn't want to climb up social ladder, who genuinely thought of the wellbeing of their daughter, wouldn't accept Ruhan as their son in law.

Not to mention his promiscuous attitude, he was even unemployed. He didn't like to work at all. The only thing he was interested in was fooling around. Although he didn't lack money, he was totally dependent on his family. who would want a son in law who didn't work at all and still depended on his family for his expenses?

If Mr. Ahmed had a daughter, he also wouldn't want a son in law like Ruhan..

Thinking about this, he let go of his anger and started to think about ways to correct Ruhan.

But Mr. Ahmed failed miserably. One can not cure someone if he doesn't want to be cured.

But his approval of Lisa didn't mean that he would allow them to elope together. If they wanted to marry each other it had to be by proper rituals. Not like this.

But...

Mr. Ahmed's pupil constricted. This doesn't make sense. Ruhan was bot someone who would fall in love that easily.

And Lisa was not the kind of person who would fall for someone like Ruhan.

These kids are hiding something from him.

"If you really are legally married, then why didn't you announce your marriage? Why didn't you bring her to our home?" Mr. Ahmed narrowed his eyes. He didn't believe that these inexperienced kids could continue to deceive him.

Damn it! Ruhan cursed. How was he supposed to answer?!

He was a good liar. But when in came to his father. He was always seen through.

Lisa pursed her lips. She knew that it was difficult to convince the old man.

"I could answer you..but I know that you wouldn't believe", Lisa smiled bitterly.

Ruhan looked at her and frowned. What was she trying to do now?

"Whether I will believe or not that is not your concern. Just answer to what you are asked", Mr. Ahmed didn't like anyone speaking in a roundabout way.

Lisa took a deep breath.. And started her half true, half false story, " It started 2months ago. I went to one of your hospitals for my brother's treatment. For an unknown reason, I was called into the office of managing director. And you can guess who he was."

Lisa paused and looked at Ruhan. His face was pale. He looked he was about to collapse again. His appearance really amused Lisa.

In fact, Ruhan was really about to collapse! 'What the hell is this girl doing? Is she trying to rat me out?' thinking about this his heart began to palpitate.

Lisa continued, "In the office Ruhan said that he was interested in me and wanted to start a relationship.

But as you know...his reputation... ",Lisa spoke with great hesitation, "I didn't agree because of his reputation. We left the hospital and I didn't want to contact Ruhan again.

But as you know suddenly LiCorp began to face crisis after crisis. As if someone was deliberately going against the company. We really tried to salvage the situation but in vain".

Ruhan really wanted to go and strangle Lisa. This damn woman is even worse than Mir Jafar.

(Mir Jafar is a historical character. A notorious traitor who betrayed Nabab Sirajuddaula in Battle of Palashi resulting in his defeat. Since then in Bangladesh any traitor is compared to Mir Jafar).

"And how did you end up marrying Ruhan?" Mr. Ahmed inquired.

"Ruhan contacted me and offered to treat my brother and also our company. It was as if he was a knight in shining armour. I was really moved and decided to trust him once."

Ruhan couldn't believe his ears. If he had been in his father's place he would have believed her too! How could someone lie so skillfully amd without blinking an eye?

And what's worse, she had been shedding tears constantly as if someone had connected water tank to her eyes!

She was really an Oscar level actress.

Why did she study architecture? She should have become an artist instead. With her skill no one could surpass her.

Of course at this time it didn't occur to Ruhan that he was an equally skilled liar and actor. And he applied his skills generously when it came to deceiving people.

Ruhan was now cursing himself. He shouldn't have lied. Now the cat was out of the bag and what's worse, he somehow ended up being married to a scheming woman.

Lisa continued with her facade,

"But I didn't want to advance our relationship without marriage. So he took me to a Kazi office and registered our marriage. At last I let go of my doubts and completely accepted the relationship.

Who knew that after getting what he wants he would adamantly deny our marriage?

He even threatened me with my brother's life", Lisa started sobbing.

"You!...you shut up. What marriage? I just agreed to a one night stand. Stop sprouting nonsense you damn woman or I will make you and your damn brother disappear from earth. Have you forgotten that he is still at our hospital?"

Ruhan was blinded by rage.

He completely disregarded his father and bluntly threatened her. He wasn't even aware that his rash action completely washed away every doubt that Mr. Ahmed had in his mind.

Mr. Ahmed was trembling with anger. He hadn't believed Lisa completely but now his own son indirectly admitted everything and even dared to threaten her in front of his eyes!

At this moment, whether they married or not that was no longer important. The most important thing was, Ruhan did blackmail her. He did threaten her! Even after everything that happened before, even after Samia's scandal this damn brat didn't learn anything. He completely disregarded his warning.

What Mr. Ahmed hated most was someone challenging his authority. Ruhan's repeated disobedience had crossed his bottom line. He could no longer tolerate it.

Lisa burst into tears, "Uncle, I know that it was wrong of me to marry him without permission. But we both had made a mistake. Why should I be the only one who has to suffer? "

Mr. Ahmed looked at the crying girl in front of him. He really felt complicated.

He then made a decision in his mind.

Ruhan...this time he has to pay for his actions.

Both Lisa and Ruhan, he wouldn't let anyone go.

None of them will be spared.
