Raghav's entire being seethed with anger. His mind fixated on one fact- Asha had been hurt, and the man responsible lay dead before him. But dead wasn't enough. No, the thug deserved more. He deserved to be punished for what he'd done, for the blood he'd drawn from her skin. Without a word, Raghav
After the nurse treated her minor injuries he was all set to carry her to the car in his arms as she again started struggling not come with him which led him to forcefully carry her to the car. He partially understands why she is showing resistance today. He shouldn't have stab him infront of her.
“Your mere presence is putting me on edge,” she whispered, her voice cracking. “Please... for a while, don’t come near me. I beg you. Just… give me some space.” He walked to the opposite side of the room, his steps deliberate as he slid down and sat on the floor, his back resting against the bed. T
Asha's mind strained, searching for fragments of a memory she could barely grasp. Had she really done what he claimed? She couldn't remember. She didn’t have memory loss, not exactly, but even now, a faint hunch nagged at her, suggesting there might be some truth to his words. Yet, no concrete recol
He looked away, his jaw tightening as he continued, the words coming faster now, almost in a rush. “I figured if you wouldn’t come to me, I’d go to your father. I offered him a hefty sum—enough to cover both your hand in marriage and the land. He agreed, and everything was set. The wedding was plann
He stared at her, suspicion and surprise etched across his face. “What do you mean you didn’t receive it? I sent it directly to you.” She shrugged, a weary look crossing her face. “Maybe it never made it to me. Maybe the girl you gave it to tore it up. I don’t know. But I never saw it.” He looked
His hand found her braid, loosening her hair as he lay beside her. His actions were oddly tender, his fingers moving with a gentleness she hadn’t expected. She had braced herself for anger, for his usual harshness, but tonight, he seemed different. “Did you sleep well?” he asked, his voice a murmur
Only five days left, and somehow, time feels like it’s moving slower than ever. He's becoming stranger, in ways that I can’t quite wrap my mind around. He’s acting soft, almost gentle with me—and the fact that I find this behavior weird says a lot about the impression he’s left on me. I didn’t exp
Good. She should be afraid. But she should also know that running was useless. Because no matter how far she went, no matter how hard she tried to escape… She would always be his. And soon, very soon— She would remember that. Asha**** It had been a week since his call. A week of suffoc
It was rare—so rare that he couldn’t recall a single time he had seen her like this. Even when she had cried in the past, disheveled and trembling, he had thought she was beautiful. A fragile kind of beauty, like a porcelain doll on the verge of shattering. But now—now, as her lips curved effortle
Their relationship had always been an odd mix of rivalry, protection, and unspoken loyalty. Raghav clenched his jaw, his fingers curling slightly. His voice was low but firm as he muttered, "Try it. I’ll have my day too, and I’m not just warning you—I will hide your bride in the future." His bro
That evening, she tried to push her fears aside. It was 8 p.m., and the town was alive with celebrations. The temple courtyard was filled with people, eager to witness the classical dance performances. She sat in front of the mirror backstage, preparing herself. Her slender fingers carefully rubbe
Her chest tightened, and tears welled up in her eyes. Every step she took felt heavier than the last as her mind spiraled into the worst possibilities. What if something terrible had happened to him? What if he had truly died alone, just as she feared? Her instincts, however, whispered another possi
Life had taken a peaceful turn for her, especially after she freed herself from the clutches that once held her down. She was finally enjoying her life with her hard-earned money, choosing not to save it for now so she could embrace the feeling of living without any restrictions. First time in a lon
He couldn’t let her go. Not now. Not ever. But Asha was gone, and no matter how hard he searched, she remained out of reach—a ghost of the life he had tried to force upon her. And as the days stretched on, Raghav realized the truth that haunted him more than her absence: she would rather erase eve
Lifting the bottle, Raghav tilted it back, the bitter burn of wine sliding down his throat, doing little to numb the storm raging within him. He set it down heavily on the table, his trembling fingers returning to the laptop in front of him. The screen flickered as he sifted through empty folders, h
Next, she grabbed his phone and submerged it in the sink, watching as bubbles rose to the surface before the screen went dark. In the living room, she ransacked his things, gathering any USB drives she could find. With no hesitation, she lit a small fire in a metal tin and tossed them in, watching
