♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
A girl is sitting in front of a mirror adorned with the most beautiful dress and heavy jewelry, after all, it is the biggest day of her life. From decoration to attire everything is exactly the way she dreamt of.
Everyone is in awe looking at her beauty. There is not even a single thing that she isn't wearing that a typical bride should wear except one thing, SMILE.
Her cheeks are shining due to makeup but they do not possess that natural glow. The world's best makeup is done on her eyes, to enchant the beauty of her big orbs but there is no shine in them. Her lips are coated in dark red color but those petals of the rose are curved downward. She may be looking like the most beautiful bride from the outside but from the inside, she is all broken and hollow.
The day when girls get married they consider it as the luckiest day of their life but for her, it is the most unfortunate day because she is getting married to a monster in human's clothing instead of her prince charming.
A sarcastic smirk played on her lips thinking about the way her life has taken a U-turn making her life a living hell.
"Ma'am it's time," one of her attendants said breaking her chain of thoughts.
"I want 5 minutes alone"
They nodded before leaving her alone in her room. She took deep breaths to get prepared for the things that are coming next. After marriage girls' life changes, and they hope that their new life would be like heaven but she can't even hope that because she knows beforehand that she is going into hell.
She stiffed as she heard some shuffling sounds. Her head turned to the source of voice on its own to find the man who was once, her love standing there.
"What are you doing here?" She whispered as dread rush through her veins. If that monster came to know that a man is present in her room then he would kill him.
"I am here to take you with me" he offered her his hand.
She gulped visibly. How badly she wants to hold his hand and run away from all these world's menaces, but only if she can.
"We don't have time, move fast" he whispered sternly.
"I... I can't risk my family's life" she mumbled looking down, fiddling with her fingers.
"Do you trust me?" He took few steps back and stood at the side of the window, it was the place from where he was planning to rescue her.
She nodded lightly. He is the only person whom she trusts.
"Then come with me. I will take care of everything" he said with so much assurance that her feet moved towards him on their own.
She was about to give her hand to him when they heard an earth shuddering voice, the voice that the girl despises the most as it belongs to her worst nightmare.
"You dare to move even an inch" he threatened her.
She isn't scared of him because of herself. She would be glad if he kills her and ends her life but he is threatening her with her most precious thing. He is taking advantage of her weakness.
"Don't listen to him and come with me" the person who could show her heaven invited her with his open arms.
"Come here or you will regret it for your life" the person who is showing her the hell, warned her.
She looked between both of them getting confused whom should she choose? If she chooses heaven then her family's life would be at stake and if she chooses hell then she would become a living dead body.
She is stuck 'Between Hell and Heaven'

Indeed I am looking beautiful, the most I ever had. And which girl wouldn't want to look the most beautiful on her wedding day?I spun around, making my gown go twirl and swirl accordingly.

Elena's POV I got tired of continuously dancing and swaying my hips on the music. My feet are paining due to the high heels and I am feeling a little dizzy due to the drink. I decided to take a break before I fall to the ground and kiss the floor once more. Sliding through the crowd and pushing few people to make space I came out and sat on a chair to make my breathings even and bring my heart to its normal pace. We managed to enter this place only because of my friend, Inaya's connection. She managed two tickets with the help of her boyfriend who works here. I can never afford a place like this in my life, at least till I am not getting a secured job that promises me to pay a good amount. I was scanning my surroundings when the hairs of my body stood up and I felt like someone is staring at me. I searched for the owner more intently this time, making my eyes busy in going through the people. Fe

Elena's POVI woke up with the chirping of birds. As I turned to my right the sun rays hit my face. I guess I forgot to shut the window last night.Sun rays were making it difficult for me to open my eyes at once. Groaning, I blinked twice and adjusted my eyes to the light.My stomach growled as I sat on the bed reminding me of last night's incident. It is because of that devil that I didn't eat enough last night. Most of the time his eyes were on me and I had a constant fear that he will pull a stunt anytime in front of my family.Strangely, I woke up so early. It is just 9:00 AM. Lazily I stood up and forced myself to the bathroom. After getting ready for the day, I stepped outside just to give Raine a shock.She was not expecting me in the kitchen so early. It is not her fault though!"Oh! My Ella is awake!" Mom chirped."I guess today it is going to rain" Raine passe

Xaphan's POVI stretched my hand to carefully pick up my mobile, unlocked it, and clicked on her picture. My eyes got busy taking in her every feature, her big shiny chocolaty brown eyes blessed with thick eyelashes, her plump lips with a tint of natural baby pink color, her chubby cheeks blessed with dimples whenever she smiles, the tip of her nose that is carrying all the innocence, and her elbow-length brown locks tied up into a ponytail.She isn't the most beautiful girl that I have ever seen nor she is of my type but this girl has a charm that pulled me towards her like a magnet. This is what happened to me that night in the club when my eyes first landed on her.She was swinging her hips and moving her head, catching every beat of the song, her eyes were closed and she was lost in her world, unaware of how many eyes were traveling and lusting over her. And among those two were mine.Her tiny figure is perfect to f

His eyebrows knitted in confusion "When did you join the police?" He asks still standing on the door. "Your hundred culprits can not complete my one as mine is no less than a terrorist" Raphael was still confused with the words of his wife, this is when she took a step aside to show him the actual culprit.

Earlier, I used to give extra hours to my work but these days I become frustrated whenever the time of my duty extends because now I have a wife waiting for me at my home. And I am spending my days among criminals when I should be spending them with my wife.

Elena's POV "How long will you take?" My mother asked getting all irritated. "Just five minutes more!" So today is the biggest day of my life as I am going to get married to the man of my dreams! The anxiety and nervousness are at their peak. My palms and feet are numb and my head is so full of thoughts that I can't think anything specific. The only thing that my heart is chanting like a mantra is that every time this day should not turn out to be a dream. I want it to be a reality. Strong emotions have overpowered me, making me feel surreal. We have kept the wedding very simple as our families are small. My family has arrived two days back and Raphael has invited a few of his colleagues to attend the wedding. The decoration is very modest because both of us have decided to spend money on a world tour instead of doing unnecessary expenditure on the wedding. "Bui, daddy is

Please" she made a puppy face "I request"How can I deny her request when she is asking me so lovingly?"Ok""Yay," she squeaked like a kid.This brought a wide smile to my face too."Don't make me wait for long" she made her way out of the room.I for my part started sliding into the red midi to get ready for the party.The day when Raphael took me to the dungeon and I whipped Xaphan, I cried a lot.

Elena's POVIt is been three days since the doctors have discharged Raphael. That day he kept waiting for me but I didn't go to meet him. I am still not able to muster enough courage to face him.In fact from the day he has come to the home, I am just ignoring him, trying to avoid eye contact, refraining myself from indulging in any kind of conversation.Today, at the time of lunch he was sleeping so I and Mimi had lunch together. I woke up from a siesta when I felt thirsty. I checked my bottle just to find it empty. I walked towards the kitchen to refill it.As I was crossing the hall I saw that Raphael's room door was open. I peeped into it slightly and found him having his lunch on the bed. He was struggling with the food because of the bandage on his right shoulder. He was trying to eat with his left hand.After giving it a thought, I decided to go into his room. The ignoring game is not going to work for long.He

Elena's POV Shock is a very small word to express what I am feeling at present after looking at the completely changed demeanor of Raphael. I never thought even in my worst nightmare that he can trade his mother for money and love. This is not the person whom I loved and if this is his real face then I am not going to accept him in any way. I flinched at my place at the gunshot and snapped my head in the direction of the voice and found Xaphan standing there with a gun pointed towards the sky, firing in the air. He was looking drunk as his eyes were bloodshot red and his knees were wobbling. He was not able to stand still on his feet. He yelled like a beast and pointed his gun towards Lucifer. "How dare you?" He roared, clasping the gun with both hands and making the balance. "Put the gun down, Xaphan" Lucifer instructed. But he was too high to give heed to anything. He was looking thirsty fo
