Her father " Rahul sharma" Wanted to start his own business but he had not that money so He accepted money from a man who was tied to the mafia.His business venture failed, and all the money he had invested went down the drain. He didn't tell anyone about it, not even his wife.

He told the man he borrowed money from that he would repay everything, but just needed some time. The man gave him two months.

He started gambling, hoping to turn things around, but luck wasn’t on his side, and he lost there too.The two-month deadline set by the mafia had passed, but they hadn't taken any action..until one night..

Everything seemed fine. He took his daughter out to watch a movie, but when they got home, they found many black cars outside their house and the door broken and unlocked.

He rushed inside, panic rising, and found the mafia man and his men lounging on the couch, smoking and drinking beer. He demanded,

"Where's my wife?"

No one responded, but one of the men gestured toward the direction of their bedroom.

He rushed there, and what he saw left him in shock.He saw his wife on the bed. As he stepped closer, he pulled the blanket away from her body, and what he saw was the most terrifying sight. His wife was surrounded by blood, with the white bedsheet completely soaked in it.

He followed the trail of blood with his eyes, stopping at her waist.. He checked her pulse..she was gone... His eyes welled with tears and burned with anger as he stormed toward the mafia man, grabbing him by the collar.

“ASSHOLE HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO HER?!!!" He yell

All the men Of the mafia boss point their guns at him.. Then the mafia boss signalled his men to don't..

The mafia boss said" You didn't return my money so I took the life of person you love the most.. That's it “

I WAS THE ONE WHO TOOK MONEY FROM YOU. SHE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!!!! " He yell again

The mafia boss replied" Mann!!! Don't shed tears now .They couldn't make her alive again.. She's gone and won't come back again"

"I'LL KILL YOU FUCKIN BAST-

While he was yelling the mafia boss stabbed him with knife ... One.. Two... And... Ten Times..

" Oh sorry Mann! I did it before you could " The mafia boss said and snicker..
