Obsessed with her- MEERASIM FF

Greed

Murtasim had a good sleep that night, he hadn't slept like this in ages. He laid in his bed wide awake in the morning, the thoughts of that interaction with Meerab still on his mind. She was willing to help me, I wonder what she thought of me? Goddd I really acted weird in front of her didn't I? I just hope she liked me. But wait, HOW IS SHE SUPPOSED TO LIKE ME WHEN I ACTED ALL WEIRD LIKE I DIDN'T NEED HER HELP. Murtasim sighed, running his hand through his hair, trying to get these weird thoughts out of his mind. He was a feudal lord and a billionaire for god's sake, he isn't supposed to act all 'teenage girl in love', he's supposed to be stoic and authoritative, not some lovesick puppy.
Murtasim got up from his bed and went to the washroom to freshen up, just as he was about to enter the washroom, his phone rang. It was Zain, Murtasim picked up the call quickly, his sixth sense telling him something was wrong.
"Hello" Murtasim said as he picked up the call, hoping that everything was okay.
"Khan, you need to get to the office as soon as possible." Zain said, his voice laced with urgency.
Murtasim's brows furrowed as he asked, "why? Is everything okay?"
"You remember how I was suspecting someone was leaking information from our company? Yeah I found out who it was, it's Farrukh. So you need to get here before he figures out I know." Zain replied frantically. "I'm on my way" Murtasim said in his calm eerie voice which could send shivers down anyone's spine. He quickly hung up the phone and got ready.

Zain anxiously paced around the entrance of the office, awaiting Murtasim. He knew this 'spy' could be dangerous, that's why he didn't take any action himself and waited for Murtasim's orders. He saw Murtasim's car coming to a halt in front of the entrance, and walked towards him in quick strides. "Where is he?" Murtasim asked as soon as he got out of the car, his rage very visible on his face. Zain gulped and replied, "he's still inside."
"Tell the guards to capture him and bring him to the warehouse, but be careful and don't let ANYONE know what's happening." Murtasim said in a calm and cold voice.
"Aren't we gonna interrogate him here?" Zain asked.
"No, we can't let this information reach anyone until it's confirmed that he's the only one." Murtasim replied.
"Wait what, you think there are more?" Zain asked, clearly oblivious to whatever was going on in Murtasim's mind.
"We don't know anything as of now, so it's better to take precautions." Murtasim said. Zain nodded in reply as Murtasim sat back in his car and made his way to the warehouse. Zain quickly ordered the guards to bring Farrukh with them without being too obvious.

The warehouse was lit with a yellowish ambience, only one bulb hanging loosely in the middle of the room. It didn't look like an 'actual' warehouse, it looked like a place which was mostly used for such interrogations and violence- which is exactly what it was. The air was thick with tension as Farrukh sat in the middle of the room on a wooden chair with his hands tied behind. Zain stood in one corner and two guards stood at the entrance while Murtasim stood right in front of Farrukh with his gun in one hand and brass knuckle in the other. His face reflected his inner rage, he was in his 'ruthless feudal lord' mode. "So, you're spying on me?" Murtasim said in a low voice which sent shivers down Farrukh's spine, Murtasim's gaze pierced through his soul, it was like he could see right through him and his lies. Farrukh couldn't and wouldn't reply to Murtasim, he was shivering in fear, his throat dry and his heart going miles. Murtasim landed a punch on Farrukh's face because of his silence, "aurghh" Farrukh groaned in pain, he could feel blood trickling down his nose.
"Tell me, were you or were you not leaking information?" Murtasim asked again, his voice raising this time. Another punch landed on Farrukh's face before he could reply. "I....I-"Farrukh tried to speak as he tried to catch his breath, before Murtasim could land another punch he raised his hands and said, "stop stop please stop." Farrukh pleaded Murtasim with all he had, that knuckle brass made his punches even more painful, Farrukh doubted if he could take another one. "I WILL ONLY STOP IF YOU TELL ME EVERYTHING."  Murtasim roared as he grabbbed Farrukh's caller and put his gun on his head. "Tell me everything or I WILL shoot." He said in a low growl. Fear was very visible in Farrukh's eyes as he pleaded, "please I will tell you everything just spare me."
"Who do you work for?" Murtasim asked.
"I...I...please he will kill me I can't say it." Farrukh pleaded whilst sobbing for his life.
"Do you think I won't kill you? DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT I WONT GIVE U AN AGONISING DEATH?" Murtasim yelled. "WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?" Murtasim asked again. By this time everyone in the room knew that Murtasim WILL kill Farrukh if he didn't answer. "Khan please, please spare me I have a family." Farrukh said between his sobs and tears of pure terror. Murtasim let go of his collar but didn't lower his gun. "I will only THINK about sparing you if u tell me the truth. WHO. DO. YOU. WORK. FOR" Murtasim said as he tightened his hand around his revolver.
"I...its...its...its NAUREZ" Farrukh revealed in a voice laced with pure terror. Murtasim's eyes widened he couldn't believe what Farrukh had just revealed. "Naurez?" Murtasim asked in merely a whisper. "Yes...yes it's him, he offered me 2 crore if I did his job, he wanted me to tell him all about your strategies and activities, I asked him why he was doing this but he didn't tell me anything" Farrukh said as more tears trickled down his face and continued, "I swear khan I swear I don't know his intention i don't know anything, I too was shocked when I found out about your business deal. But I swear on my life I don't know anything."
Murtasim nodded and lowered his gun, he looked towards Zain who looked equally as shocked as him. He couldn't wrap his head around the fact that Naurez wanted to spy on him, what could possibly be his intention? He didn't even have any business rivalry or anything with him, so what made him do this? Murtasim thought about something else that dreaded him by even thinking about it, was she aware of it? Murtasim quickly put the thought away, not wanting to overthink. He looked at Farrukh once again, his eyes raging with anger and fury. "Is it just you or are there more?" Murtasim asked in a low voice. "None that I'm aware of Khan. I swear I don't know." Farrukh replied frantically.
"So you did all this for money? No other intention?" Murtasim asked
Farrukh looked confused by this question. Trying to find the right words, he replied, "None khan , no other intention I swear."
Murtasim nodded. Farrukh thought he had been spared, he sighed in relief but it was quickly replaced my panic as he saw Murtasim Khan firing his revolver towards him. The bullet pierced through his shoulder making him scream and cry in pain. "THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING GREEDY AND DARING TO SPY ON ME." Murtasim roared as he left, instructing Zain to clean up the mess and take Farrukh to a doctor to get more information out of him. Farrukh, Zain and a few guards were left in the warehouse as Murtasim made his exit, his work was done, now Zain could manage the rest.

Murtasim reached home, clearly tired and exhausted because of what transpired today. He knew he had to tread carefully because there was more to this story than he knew. He thought about how carefree and happy he was last night, life really had its ways to fuck up his happiness. He couldn't help but overthink the fact he dreaded the most. She couldn't possibly be aware of this, she's just an employee He thought to himself. He really hoped against hope that his thoughts were wrong and she was innocent. What could she possibly have against him to do this? She was just an employee doing her job. As Zain said, you know more about her than she does, Murtasim knew her, he knew she couldn't do anything like this, he knew how pure at heart she was- which is why he never confessed his feelings to her and never really talked to her. He knew she was too good hearted and innocent, he wanted to save her innocence from this dark world, he wanted to save her from himself. Murtasim needed to protect her from Naurez, a man who could hire people to do his biddings, could do anything. He knew Meerab wasn't safe with him, and he had to do something about it. But he could only take action once he gathers more evidence and finds the full story . So he needed to dig deep, he needed to gather information against Naurez so he could expose him properly. Murtasim couldn't help but worry about her, he prayed to the heavens that she was safe and sound and away from harm's way.
