Tainted Love by Maniah (english novels to read .TXT) 📕

"Tell me Do you even know the name of Your son's father. He is paying for your greed. That child is being called a Bastard because of your mistakes…"

And that was the limit of my tolerance. I pushed him away from me and slapped him hard across the face. 

"Don't ever call my baby with that name again!! It was not my mistake that his father didn't believe me when I told him about my pregnancy. It's not my mistake that his father was forcefully taking me to the hospital to abort the baby...and today the man stopped that low that he is calling his blood, his own son a bastard…" I bit out in anger. 

Mrityunjay gripped my hand in a painful grip "Don't you dare say this. Thank your child that I am not showing you how Mrityunjay Sehgal punishes those who try to defame his Dignity…"

" Dignity, what dignity are you talking about? And Defame...You should be grateful that I didn't show you what defaming dignity means. If I wanted to do that, I would have done it long ago Mrityunjay Sehgal, there are thousands of ways to defame you in front of the whole world, so don't try to scare and you know what just,  Get Out!" I snapped at him.

"Mumma, I came. Have you made a Milkshake for my friend?" Granth said, coming downstairs in excitement. Unaware of the situation he held Mrityunjay's hand.

"Stop it you lying whore! Stop lying. He is not mine and I can prove it to you right this moment," he Gritted out softly. Granth was looking at us expectantly. Glaring at me, he sat down at Granth's level "Granth, can I roll your sweater up?" He asked softly.

Granth giggled "Why? Are we playing some game friend?" He asked innocently.

Mrityunjay nodded "yes, I am about to end someone's game." He replied glaring at me. I know what he was trying to do.  I shook my head in agony, Mrityunjay looked down and rolled Granth's sleeves upwards. 

There it was, the Birthmark on Granth's wrist. Mrityunjay lost the colour of his face, he was stunned, his eyes widened in shock, he ran his thumb over the mark. "How is this possible?" He whispered.

 Granth giggled "Did you win the game Friend?" He asked, smiling.

Mrityunjay stared at him with wide eyes, he stood up with lightning speed and held my hand again, this time even more tightly "I was right in Leaving you, Disgusting woman you are!" He whispered not loud enough for Granth to hear. 

"Mumma…"  Granth tugged at my hand again. Mrityunjay left my hand, his face right in anger, "Granth…I have bought chocolate pastry for you. It's in the fridge, go and eat that, baby." 

"Thank you, Mumma," he looked at Mrityunjay, "I'll bring one for you too, friend," saying that he ran to the Kitchen.

"I have talked enough, I don't have any more time to waste on a man like you Mr Sehgal," 

Mrityunjay turned towards me, his face was red in anger, he gripped my elbow "Tell me, you feel no shame in lying, this just proves you are nothing but a money-hungry whore," he said and I raised my hand again to slap him. 

He gripped my hand this time, "Don't make me the monster all are afraid of. I am quiet because of that child or you would be begging for death by now."

"If you are not man enough to face the truth then it's not my problem Mrityunjay," I snarled at him.

He punched the wall behind me making me jump in fear "Stop lying,  He can't be mine because I can't father a child you deceiving woman." He gritted out in anger "I have a vasectomy done Eight years ago. Do you understand me, so stop lying?" He snapped and left me with a jerk.

As if someone had snatched the floor under my feet I can't bear anything else, not his presence and not his lies, "You know what Mrityunjay, I am not interested in knowing anything related to you? For me, you are nothing but just the sperm donor for my child, Now just leave here and never come back. You are not worthy of my time…" 

He raised his eyes in a murderous glare "You disgust me…" he said. He sprinted towards the door taking angry steps when suddenly he bumped into Mrs Gill who was entering inside.

"I am…" Mrs Gill started but stopped and gasped suddenly, Mrityunjay didn't pay any attention and walked out of the house. The moment he was out of the house my legs gave up and I fell on the floor.

The Anxiety returned as if a Volcano had burst inside me  "What have I done? How could I be so stupid?" I whispered to myself.

My body felt lifeless at this moment,   A Whore! A Whore….  His Voice was screaming these words in my ear, I put my hands on my ears to stop his voice. 

I don't want to hear these words…"No!" I screamed in suffering.  

"Vani…" Mrs Gill came inside running, She had my face in her hands "Vani...look at me, are you alright?" 

"Mrs Gill….Granth!" I left out the sob I was holding for so long. I wanted to scream in pain, I can't tolerate it anymore. It was getting hard for me to breathe. "Vani, oh my God! Vani are you alright?" 

I was crying my heart out, couldn't take it anymore. I gave up on my courage and strength at this moment. 

Whore! Whore! Whore….these were the only words I could hear. 

"Vani you are scaring me, look at me…" Mrs Gill slapped my face lightly to gain attention. "Are you alright? Vani?"

"Mumma…" I heard Granth and closed my eyes tightly. My baby, I can't let him see me like this. No, I can't allow myself to be weak in front of him…

I wiped my tears, cleaned my face with my dupatta ( scarf) and put on a bright smile on my face "Yes Gunnu?" I asked, Mrs Gill, sighed putting her hands on her mouth. 

"Mumma, where is my friend? I bought a Pastry for him."

I didn't know how to answer that question, "Your friend left Gunnu, he has some urgent work...but guess what you can eat his pastry too." Mrs Gill answered him.

He frowned, "No, I will give it to him tomorrow," he said. I sobbed hearing him. My innocent baby.
