Cruelty Chapter 27|Reticence
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
Cruelty Chapter 28|Coldness
|| 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
Cruelty Chapter 29|Remorseless
His numb heart began pacing at miles per minute the moment a reverberant and high intensity crashing sound agitated his eardrums breaking the dead silence pursed in the poorly illuminated corridor. He quickly channeled his vigilant and hawk like attention towards the closed door and sprinted inside the small snug bedroom of his unwanted wife, instinctively rushing inside her chamber very much unexpectedly like the wind.This may even sound alien to some ears but he got promptly startled and slightly troubled by the abrupt shattering noise soaking up the entire tranquil space for three substantial seconds until muzzled by a deafening silence that crawls back in with his unpredicted, swift and sudden intrusion into a forbidden space after the horrifying incident that happened in the abyss of the past and constructed a wedge between the non existent relationship of the royal couple.Deep wounds and a miserable night he gifted his wife where he beat her mercilessly, whipped her flesh, roa
Cruelty Chapter 30|Evanescent presence
'What d-does that mean?', a surge of scepticism rippled through her conscience. 'Are you trying to manipulate me once again to fall into one of your nasty fallacious traps or blindly consider your sweet little lies as validation of your truthfulness?', she whisper yelled trying to control the simmering lava from just exploding out of her soul, ferociously in an unrestrained manner synonymous to a cloudburst, fierce, acrimonious and demolishing.Indistinct but acute, her wrath gingerly invited tranquility in the fleeting hours of twilight. She, in the mean time, actively positioned herself beside the lampshade to obscure her dainty figure from his rigorous astute gaze, watching over her shadow from a fine distance.'Some wise man in history once quoted, women are impossible to understand. I am gradually undertanding his literal intention behind offering this bold statement by barely surviving a month with you, putting my best to avoid conflicts that were bound to happen with your graci
Cruelty Chapter 31|Trust me
Saanvi retired back inside her chamber, every inch of her body entirely exhausted after waiting for almost an hour inside the vast corridor for that woman to again re-appear however she never returned. The whole incident felt slightly peculiar but nevertheless she laid back on her mattress trying to gain some sleep and reward her aching muscles some rest.Just as she started falling in the grasp of slumber, a knock reverberated inside her room. No one in this palace wants me to remain sane, she thought getting irked by the nonchalant disturbance. Throwing away the sheets off her chest, she meticulously slipped from her bed and limped all the way to the threshold just to open the door and greet a nuisance during a time when everybody should either stick to their business or sleep damn it!!'Yes?', she impatiently replied when finding a familiar figure, all her drowsiness went into a pit. 'You, again?', she asked but on the contrary, she was anticipating this meeting. 'Can we now talk?'
Cruelty Chapter 32|Worthless
Next morningSaanvi left her bed very early this dawn after twisting and turning the whole night. Sleep didn't embrace her, the reason was the doubt rising inside her mind. Should I trust a stranger? Was she really Vanya or a trap laid to test my loyalty again? What if I failed, it'll push me to the brink of losing everything!!Putting a full stop on her troublesome thoughts, she decided to take a brisk walk in the backyard. A pale shade of lavender covered the thick clouds in the sky predicting that soon, it's going to start pouring down. Her mind wandered on the series of incidents happened back in this palace.An year and a month has passed, her in laws left no stones unturned in turning her life into a living hell. She feels like a hollow shell now, she is too emotionally drained and tired of wearing the facade of valour that her inner child is gradually dying.All she ever longed for was love, respect and a hug to show that someone is always there for her even if she shows hersel
Cruelty Chapter 33|Abortion?
Forthwith, a rattling quiteness muzzled the eerie atmosphere. The prince's dusky face immediately went frigid, hard and impassive, a homicidal fanatic look masked the deadly storm brewing inside his chaotic mind. The silence was blood curdling and utterly unbearable. Nandini who was shaking like a leaf on a windy day, slowly closed her eyes, trying to restrain her anxiousness to some extent.She was scared, not for her or her husband but for the unborn child, the living souvenir of their imperishable love. She feared their future which is yet to witness this brutal world. Akhil, however held a fragment of optimism that atleast he wouldn't do any harm to his sister and the newborn for the sake of that royal blood that still runs in her arteries and he will inherit a part of the regality through his mother.'Brother, just let us li-live our lives peacefully!! I'm-m tired of running away, why are y-you not ready to accept u-us? This is th-the truth, your blindfolded conscience is n-not w
Cruelty Chapter 34|Tingles
That nightCold fingers, rugged, brushes against the unclothed, naked spine of Saanvi. She trembles, feeling the feathery iciness grazing her skin, tenderly like a slow dancing ballerina, the tingling sensation lingers for a while followed by a sensual ripple of euphoria that grasped her mind, instantly. She, unknowingly leaned back, the calloused hands erotically glided till it approached the zipper stuck in the fabric of her blouse.'Done', Daksh rasped, tracing his thumb in the valley of her supple, slender and pristine nape. She gasped, ultimately jutting out of the whirlpool of elation and desires. 'Mmm hmm', she softly hums, lowering her gaze demurely as she caught a pair of eyes, piercing and passionate, staring at her flushed face.His touch felt like some caramel melting in the mouth, you crave, you savour the delight, the sweetness ever so addicting however toxic for diabetics, the taste's still alluring, similar is his arousing and lascivious seduction, perhaps an innocent

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
Cruelty Chapter 46|Epilogue
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
Cruelty Chapter 44|An invisible predator
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
Cruelty Chapter 43| Critical
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

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!!
