Chapter 9|Devastated

Author: Muskan Prakash
last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
Pale skin, frail body, eye bags under ones captivating deer eyes. She is still a piece of bud, pure and ravishing, elegant and maybe too fragile for human's rough touch. Beauty she is yet the radiance and shimmer from her eyes long gone, concealed in the shady cage of this imperial property. Her guileless, innocent and vulnerable eyes screamed to break the invisible chains of marriage and let her once again soar the boundless sky like a free bird, yet she her wings are clipped and she can't roam freely anymore...like she used to in the golden remembrance of the bygone days.

One year has passed in blur, not for the helpless soul that hasn't spent a day without drenching the cold floor beneath her with the emotions that kept flowing like an unstoppable current. Loneliness, disrespect and physical abuse, everything she went through with lips sealed.

Two months ago, she was thrashed in an inhuman way, twenty five times with a whip, left to starve and dehydrate herself for two consecutive

    A faint rumble broke the muzzled silence. Dark green hue of the hedges shone in grey radiance as the moon peeks through the navy, dark blue guazy clouds like a cotton candy drenched in shades of grey, sky freckled with countless shimmering stars. She sat on the lush green turf, legs folded to the chest and head resting against it, the mesmerizing sight of the morning was sucked by the gloominess that prevented any light from reaching on the vast streched lawn speaking of horrors of nature and potraying the harrowing emotions that coincides with that of the suffering soul.Life would've been far better in destitude than being caged in the royal walls that looks too appealing to blind the day dreaming creatures from listening to the silent bellowing that are trapped in these walls. If heard with pure devotion, maybe healthy minds can get traumatized.She ignored the hushed footfall approaching the crouched figure near the artificial pond, her reflection apparent in those undulating ripp

    Pearly glow covered the morning sky with dazzling sun casting it's over wordly rosy hue across the newborn stretch of eternity. Calm soothing breeze caressed the enervated soul bathing in the warm shower. She after an year finally got to feel the warmth of the running water on her raw skin. Yesterday, she was asked to shift in one of the royal chambers without any verbal protest, she obviously obliged to that but one question struck her mind. Why so much generosity all of a sudden? Saanvi woke up prior to her usual routine after a pretty rough night. She retired to her chamber late in night around 3:00 am and it's currently 5:45 am early in the morning when she's having a bath. Tossing and turning on her fluffy and cozy bed in her chamber didn't helped her with the sleep as it was far away from her sullen eyes. She got mentally drained and the throbbing in her head isn't lessening even a bit. Maybe a herbal tea can help? She turned off the shower, carefully draping a towel around he

    He stared at the tempting beauty, comparing her to a coffee cup that after using, he'll most probably dispose in some bin. Afterall she isn't worthy enough to have a place beside his bed and in his life. His inquisitive gaze roved over her milky back, his unstrained sexual desire bubbling to caress it with his raw flesh. To remove the remaining shreds of fabric, springing from the desire to see her naked. Naked underneath him, begging to take her!The virile prince walked near his sleeping beauty with predatory gaze, his hooded eyes fixed on the alluring mermaid laid on the silk sheets. The effigy of innocence, stiff, unmoved, lighly snoring in candied bliss.Tracing her neck with his cold fingers, a deep vicious smirk formed on his lips. 'Fuckable!', he murmured gliding his hands furthur to the crook of her neck. Cinnamon and honey evaded his senses as he dipped his face near her roseate lips. He stopped noticing her eyelids flutter for a swift second before going inert, not moving..

    Her caramel satiny gaze roved across the torquoise blue bottomless waters, concentric platinum rings beaming in the grasp of these jubilant rays, rippling waves tossing around carefree like a toddler, every wavelet felt like the subtle note of euphony filling the crater formed in her heart with some warmth, radiance...Divinity.Balmy ambience drew her inquisitive attention as she peeped through the tinted glass, the dazzling skin of the colossal water body casted a mystic spell, grappling her mind, her eyes never leaving the magnifient sight of the sparkling crystal lapping waves.The sweet fragrant smell of orchards filled the entire black Lexus LS where she sat near the window, mindlessly staring outside the trees passing by, her gaze stuck on the placid scenery. Gentle breeze that doesn't whisk through the silent and cold corridors of the palace, it was this free air she was breathing, smile transparent on her face as it was her first visit outside the majestic walls under an year

    Saanvi POV:The boat ride turned omnious for me. My body exhausted after shedding tears but then he held my wrist and forced me to sit on the boat with him. I wasn't a bit comfortable sitting beside Daksh who glued a tight smile on his lips, formality much. He's certainly putting on the fake demeanor of 'concerned husband' for the sake of his prestige, a shallow one. He is not the man he potrays himself to the outside world, he's countenance is deceptive.The way he gently held my hands in the entire ride made others view us as 'ideal couple', the one I disagree with and his mother too who kept glaring at us, incessantly.'What are you thinking?', my eyes widened noticing the familiar man entering inside my cabin, unannounced. He locked his gaze with mine, watching me through my reflection in the antique mirror. He paused for a moment, scanning my back from head to toe, his intense gaze burned my skin. That's when I noticed I'm only in my lacy nightgown that barely covered my thighs.

    A darker shade of raspberry red tainted the glassy cheeks of the unravished beauty, not desired but when she accidently stole a glimpse of the stark naked, profoundly ripped and tattoed back muscles of an indeed affluent man, a prince and CEO, his royal blood so wealthy and intimidating to barely not get affected. Her face flushed witnessing the bare bodied smoky skin of the devil, her breathing laboured, erotic, quite sensuous and seductive as she tried to grapple her lost focus..her intense reaction spoke of her oversenstivity and shyness the way she cascaded her curled lashes trying to hide the creeping blush! The rolled towel crinckled in her tight clutch, palms clammy as she took timid and hesitant steps towards her stripped husband, the pile of clothes discarded in a corner didn't missed to catch her timorous glance as she gulped anxiously, maybe it's not the right thing you're supposed to do at this mid night hour!, her mind rather alarmed her subconscious but his command was

    With no shreds of light in a dingy room was a woman tied to the chair. Her hands were tied with cable ties, feets shackled with stout dangling chains, feeble cries ruthlessly muffled by a dirty cloth shoved deep in her mouth by none other than her kidnapper. Her stomach retched due to the fowl smell of blood like copper and rust, nauseating. She frantically ran her eyes in the dark room, observing her eerie surrounding with a sense of terror crawling deep under her flesh, fear apparent in those expanding pupils. Her eyes went blurry and throat parched with the lack of hydration, how did she end up here? She thought she was dead! As she stressed her mind to recall the incidents that happened the previous night, a nerve wrecking pain grappled her body propelling her lashes to get sogged in fresh hot trails of tears trickling down her bruised cold cheeks. She relived the scarifying event when he hit her barbarically with an iron rod when she attempted to free herself from his robust gr

  • Cruelty    Chapter 17|I'm a sinner!

    'Good morning', I mumbled taking a chair beside my incompassionate, cold hearted mate of cruel destiny. He obviously tensed feeling my presence around him. Coherent much! Our last meeting that night was rough, emotional and most importantly painful! 'Saanvi, you didn't had any post wedding ceremony after your wedding?', queen mother asked casually stuffing a morsel in her mouth. Her sharp eyes were scanning my presence too keenly as I could feel the burning stare. 'Um..no because w-we..' 'No need! Every important member was already present at the wedding, why inviting everyone all over again?', his discourteous words were jarring to many sitting around the table who visibly looked unpleased with his uncivil taunt. 'About whom precisely you're talking about Yuvraj?', came the stressed voice of queen mother. Suddenly the air around us turned tremendously suffocating, specially when each one of us could feel the thick strain staying put between the two regal personalities. 'That person

    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.

    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

    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?
