Amidst the thick murk of the roaring night, an immense stillness has submerged the entire area in sheer silence with the roiled black clouds pouring down heavily obscuring visibility to a greater extent.The only sound that could quiver eardrums of a living entity was the vigorous thumping of a scared organ pulsating in the closed ostentatious space, frigid gust of wind swishing through the woods surrounding the narrow trail that led to a barren railway track, made frown lines appear on the forehead of the man who was driving in a desolate area with a lunatic and the traitor, a grave scenario wherein any person could've passed out in horror but he was calm, calm like a brewing storm, perhaps because he is more vicious, devilish and dark than a man to be designated barbaric and his wife, no doubt hasn't experienced that darkness yet!His fury sparked abruptly at the poisonous sharp stinger his wife has just jabbed on his steel heart, not thinking twice of it's consequences. He's not he
A cryptic silhouette of an obsidian figure emerges ahead of a bulky man in black suit as he treads inside the royal balcony with silent footfalls, sharp gaze, an inordinately stiff posture and a very docile aura oozing out of his well built muscular framework.Dawn has already bloomed, dispersing the lingering darkness and once again painting the sky with violet and pink as a new days unfurls it's claws and the dense fumes of the cigar trapped between the fingers of the masculine personality vanishes into thin air, swiftly floating between the vast dim lit alley of the big palace.'Morning sir,' Atharv bows reverently to the gnarly regal figure while observing him nodding in a subtle manner without diverting his focussed eyes from the lush green lawn, apparently appearing greyish in the lack of that yellowish glowiness, metaphorically well resonating with his present condition.'What's the update?', he asks in his usual deep baritone voice dragging another puff and settling his stress
Barbarity has no boundaries, it's the human's dirty pleasure in something evil that haunts a pure soul and it has no limits, no restrictions, all that depends on the tiers of lunacy residing inside the mind of the perpetrator.We might perceive prince as an impulsive, dark and affluent character who is powerful enough to captivate a woman against her will but what we failed to notice was the demon hiding under his flesh. The demons that he was restraining from overtaking his feeble human pathetic emotions, freezing the irrational attachment of a mortal with another mortal being and turning into a monster, devoid of warmth and forgiveness.Something like the werewolves wolf out on the blood moon night, an impulse that triggers their transformation, the prince's sanity was knocked out by the betrayal from his lady. The lady that though looks like an effigy of innocence to his human eyes, unfortunately, numbness cannot feel that purity dissipating out of her form when seen under devilish
Thunder rumbled, electric spark illuminated the grey clouds for split second before everything turned dark again. Deep bottomless void sucked the senses out the pale body lying beside the oyster grey nightstand, obscurely breathing in lap of unconsciousness.The elderly professional demurely objected the narcissistic detrimental idea of discharging the sick female afore her condition atleast stabilizes but sadly, hard cash has weight and ability to influence and mess with the psyche of even the sharpest minds.The essential documents were signed right away and as the clock on the front wall of reception counter struck 11, her fragile body was carried on a gurney to the chopper waiting aloft the rooftop of the seven storey building.Sulekha, his mother and the royal lady was sitting by the balcony, restless, tensed, and panic stricken, somewhat sensing the solemnity of the circumstance.Her hooded gaze perceived the uncanny grave quietness lingering on prince's usual stoic fizzog from t
His cocoa hazel loathing gaze cautioned her unarmoured self, crippled her languid body, embalming her frantic mind with a cold wave of terror, an unspoken dark energy, suffocating and obstinately disturbing, exceptionally high for the tormented and the weak.He lurched forward with the velocity of a lightening strike, unannounced, swiftly tying her feeble wrists with handcuffs and securing her petite stature with the headboard while her frigid body stayed numb in apprehension and grey woe of the future unknown, patently gloomy.'Stay still siren else I won't hesitate to gag you with my pistol', he murmured, retracting a loaded revolver from his vest. Her breathing staggered when her glistening doe angel eyes swept over the lustrous steel frame of the lethal weapon. He quickly fastened her legs with his belt, completely restraining her from any form of protest while he experiments his atrocious intentions on her trapped soul.'D-don't!!', she wailed, beseeching her devil husband through
Obsidian pair of apparently frozen eyes flickered a scintilla of novel emotion seeing her lucid, tear engorged doe eyes and guileless innocence, appealing, vulnerable and tearsome, about to face harrowing unforeseen and fathomless ferocity of the uncaring man, her vile destiny chose as her 'husband'.Vanished those remnants of ruth and poignance instantly as the thunder rumbled in the grey ether because still feelings for him were trivial like her worth. Naive, opportunist and backbiting, an identity moulded within the casket of his dark memories somehow permeating poison.She screamed despondently as the metal of her handcuffs clink on the soundless floor. His resolute eyes twinkled in lunatic contenment. 'You demand, pardon?', he chuckled fondling her butt sensually with his rough calloused hands. 'Sadly, no pardon tonight!', he exclaimed viciously landing a tight slap on her clothed ass.'Mmnh..', lowering her alarmed gaze afore his brazen stare, she whimpered in a subdued tone. Wo
A week later..'Aah..!!', the grizzled woman halted, vigilantly resting her adept fingers on the thin material of the white gauze swaddled across the pallid complexion of 'slender as wand' figure, the pristine and etheral possession of the wealthy crown prince of svamgarh, also a victim of his brutality.'Do tell me if it hurts', the chief fill in maid in her mid fifties remarked, cutting through the mellow tunes of the fledglings and their doting mamas tweeting, perching and singing along the hymn of morning wind. Saanvi, apparently the yuvrani, disregarded her short concern with lips sealed and face unexpressive, did not even deem to nod.'I'll run a w-warm bath for you!!', the maid's tone faltered a bit while speaking to royalty, catching her aloof and unfiltered, sorrowful image trapped in the regal carving of the vanity mirror. Mirrors evidently hide no scars, conceal no ugliness only if they've aced weaving lies as we humans earned all it's trophies.She heaved a low sigh, turnin
|| Some butterflies never fly, they're caged afore their wings expand ||Receding dusk gradually dissipated with the gentle winds, morphing into very subtle vibrations of low key classical tunes waltzing in the late hours of nightfall inside the regal chamber.The quintessential young and voluptuous spirit in her knee length silk night-gown leaned against her study table, focussing on few assignments to be submitted the following week and planning her revision schedule for forthcoming exam season imminent in the mid winters. However, her unhealed wounds were causing trouble in concentrating on the words imprinted on the pages of her textbook.'Madam', a slight knock erupted past the latched door whilst cutting through the melodious music lingering in the air. She hummed in response, looking at the wall clock and wondering the root cause for the maid's appearance in the most unusual and peculiar time of the day.An odd feeling replaced her tranquil and delicately poised state of mind b
I was despondently heading towards the lounge area when I sensed someone's shadow, towering over my head, just behind me. I turned around and I felt as if my eyes are deceiving me. I finally beheld her face before departing. She was breathing heavily, gasping and all drenched in sweat, her hair all messy and sticking to her face as if she reached here, running a marathon. Being too overwhelmed and scared, I forgot to ask her permission and crashed her into me, tightly clutching her dainty body against my chest.And she too, complied by not pushing me away, this time. After a short while, she shifted a little, indicating to break the hug and I did, freeing her from my smothering hold. That's when I noticed the saree she was wearing, the one I wanted her to wear at the event but she had refused to accept anything from me. Typical she and her queen attitude, well I respect that attitude that's why I am alive.Taking one deep shaky breath, she started shouting or rather roaring at me, imp
I looked myself in the mirror. The red georgette saree perfectly hugged my curves. With fine intricate designs imprinted on the smooth fabric, the stud earrings overall made my appearance look extremely sophisticated, exquisite and maybe enticing? The event was not the only thing, I am getting ready for. There's something more that matters to me a lot, at least before I take any firm decision in my life and choose whether I live with my past or move on, completely. I haven't read the contents inside of the envelope but since our relationship hasn't completely dissolved in the way it should, I have decided to meet him in person and sort everything out. The one thing that always was always a negative aspect in our lives was the lack of proper and in depth conversation. It was always either an unfriendly and cold encounter or no words exchanged for days. This honestly requires a lot of courage for me to face him after not seeing him for so long, maybe an eternity, well that's an exagger
' His eyes held a divine pull, weirdly shackling me to his hold,Unchained I was physically yet captive in his dark world 'The following day,Saanvi's POV:I was about to end my shift when a familiar figure walked inside my cabin with a toddler in his arms. The one year old babygirl, Inaya, a lookalike of her father whom I met a week ago, inside the hospital premises. The encounter was quite unexpected and truth to be told, I went slightly anxious seeing him at my working hours. Since, after the court hearings, I haven't had any coincidence to meet or interact with him, eye to eye. The baby was much of a surprise to me.A beautiful surprise. I've recently being blessed with the title of being aunt to two adorable angels even though to my in laws, I'm officially a divorcee. No one except Nandini, my sister in law, knows this secret of mine because the separation papers, signed never actually reached for the trials and the judgement hasn't been passed yet.'How's her runny nose now, s
A week later Somber night, a masculine figure rolled out of his sleek SUV, parked in front of an abandoned and desolate apartment complex. Black aviator glasses complementing his trimmed beard and overall domineering appearance in brown tuxedo over velvety Armani shirt, hiding a long scar running through his chest after spending three consecutive years behind lock up with inmates, bully and crazy maniacs.His ravening footfalls echoed in the silent corridor as a bunch of armed men advanced through the cramped hallway, following the formidable shadow in order to safeguard him from any potential attacks and threats, the desolate place, a dwelling to countless hazardous pests and toxic contaminants, filled with malodolorous smell lingering in the smothering environment, damp, cold and humid. With one robust push, the metallic door slammed open, revealing a moribund body chained to the walls, stained with ugly patterns of blood splashes all over the surface. 'Is he breathing, still?', t
The following morningIt was still dark and cloudy outside when Saanvi abruptly woke up from her slumber. Her eyes were swollen and face puffy after the rough evening. So much has happened yesterday that she couldn't get over it. Firstly, she encountered a creepy man at her shop that immediately left after disclosing her identity in a threatening fashion, leaving the bouquet on the counter. Secondly, she was sent a notice regarding the study loan. Thirdly, she received a call from the hospital regarding her mother's critical condition. And lastly, she has to pay rent the following week for which she has no money.She slid off her blanket and made her way towards the balcony to witness rosy hue of the hidden sun. While the darkness was still subduing the light with all it's effort but in the end, light will penetrate no matter what, spearing through the dreariness. Wish it could happen in her case too.The rhythm and harmony of the morning air, the fluttering leaves and strutting pigeo
He was sentenced to three years in imprisonment being found guilty of abuse and misleading and hiding crucial evidences regarding an ongoing case of a minor girl being harrassed by the man, now being pronounced 'not guilty' and framed by the court. Whilst stepping down the staircase, he saw her standing in the rain with a black umbrella on the side of the lane, the scene pretty much hazy and unclear.He stood watching her stoic face, completely numb and expressionless. Exactly, how he saw her inside the courtroom while the judgement was passed against him. He didn't deny any accusation, the conscience was culpable for crumbling her soul. 'Aren't you going to say anything?', he softly asked from a distance. She shook her head, closing the space between the victim and his cuffed perpetrator.'Instead of saying anything, I want to present you something. This is a divorce letter, an unpleasant and bitter conclusion of our failed marriage. This will forever remind you of how sometimes, fe
The turbulent sky of Svamgarh grew leaden and darkening, overcast with ash grey clouds, loured, roaring and thunderous. An ephemeral serein drizzled down on the heated terrace and soon after, the heavy down pour began.The soft mizzle emanated an earthy smell of soaked soil, the dewy petrichor that gradually permeated in the soothing and hushed ambience of the twilight, a sublime and unparalleled blend of lilac and orange, tranquilizing the troubled and anxious state of a woman, leaning against the steel bars with her drenched saree sticking to her wet curves, complementing the dewy texture of her supple and lithe skin underneath the gauzy silk.The puddles, waterlogged, plinked tenderly each time the sparkling beads of rain dropped intermittent kisses on the unmoving waters, spawning ripples. The street was nearly empty with silent commotion, only vigorous pitter pattern reverberated on the concrete lane. She was lost in the cold rain, faint swishing of winds murmuring back tales of
That late evening,Soft gleam of yellow scintillating lights fell on the pristine face of Saanvi standing among the mass of guests, influential and opulent, busy conversing among themselves and relishing the falling night, the moon shining a little red, today.They, specially the elderly ladies were deeply indulged in gossiping about some rumours flying around the corner regarding the newly engaged fiancee of Advik, a famous model and television host, Neha Sharma, the only daughter of a renowned business man, Sandeep Sharma and his wife, Meena Sharma, a lawyer by profession.She being their sole heiress, everyone's attention was drawn towards the couple on stage. An alluring charm wrapped around their charismatic personality, however the royalty dominating the wealth and prominence.'They were secretly dating for the past seven years. Initially, they met in their college times as freshers. And gradually, they fell in love but decided to keep everything under the rug for appropriate re
Saanvi's POV:I inhaled a sharp breath, regaining my lost composure. His sharp gaze paused at my nervous face, zooming into my expressions very keenly. Tightening my fists, I peered into his piercing eyes, deeply engaged in scanning my finest activities as if awaiting to spot something off about our unprecedented collision.'You had been mumbling something in sleep, something like where must it be? Were you looking for something in here?', my heart beat escalated would be an understatement. I literally panicked internally though my poker face could've manage to conceal the internal turmoil of my mind.'Did I really blabber in my sleep? You heard everything, don't you?',my face turned ghastly white as I felt myself nearing every second to my own death bed. My end is going to be this brutal and this soon, I never thought my destiny could be this merciless!! He stood by an array of expensive Cesare attolini, calm face, arms folded across his chest as he was inspecting my faltering courag
