Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 32. A Condition
FLASHBACKRAAHII have had spent the most beautiful days of my life with Maa. She taught me a lot, and we did have a lot of fun. She was like my friend, who would listen to my endless gossips and chattering. In the disguise of teaching me to do household chores, we spent our happy times together.Within two months, Maa was my best friend and much more closer to me than my own mother. She understood me in a way that my mother couldn't even bother. She cared for me, she loved me and above that, she respected me and my thinking.Maa and I had one thing in common. Our pain. Our pain of being tortured by our respective husbands. Arhaan's father used to torture her almost daily. A couple of days, I have found myself hearing Maa's screams and crying to sleep. Fresh bruises on her body and a couple of horrific moments. And the fear that Arhaan is much worse of a monster than his father scared the shit out of me.Respect. That's a small word, but that's what I crave the most. I crave a bit of
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 33. Madness
ARHAANFLASHBACKI was infuriated for a second when Raahi had such atrocious demand for me. I wanted to slap the shit out of her at that time but I refrained myself as I remembered something. I had a conversation with my dad yesterday and it stopped me from doing anything to her."Before you start off your married life with Raahi. I do have something to tell you, Arhaan," dad spoke."What's that?" I asked him."Your mom isn't my first wife," he admitted."What?" I was shocked. How could that be possible?"Yes. I had a wife before your mom," he spoke.I was entirely shaken. I didn't know what to say or what to do. For a minute, I was num. But then, where is she?"What happened to her?" I questioned."She is no more," dad gasped.I was even more surprised."She committed suicide," he replied."What?" It was a shocker."Yes. She couldn't bear the ways I treated her, and out of pain, she committed suicide. She was such a weak woman," he groaned."Oh!" I nodded.The moment was uncomfortab
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 34. An Old Friend
FLASHBACKRAAHIThe moment Aarhaan agreed to that condition, I was surprised, but then, I realised that I had to live with that now.I had to understand that now my life would be like this and as my parents told me, I had to accept it, but I couldn't. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't accept this as my life.But still, having no other way, I had to do that. And then, my life became monotonous. I had to wake up early in the morning, prepare for breakfast and lunch and wait for Arhaan to leave for the office. When he left for the office, I had to go on with the household chores like cleaning and laundry. I had to wash his dirty clothes and everything and then prepare dinner. He would return home, have his dinner and we would go to sleep. I didn't argue with him and tried my best to do everything that he says so that he doesn't get angry, and ended up doing something that I never want him to do.But leaving Alcohol and Cigarettes was something really tough for him. He used to remain
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 35. Anniversary Celebration
FLASHBACKARHAANI was in my office when I checked the CCTV cameras and noticed she was leaving for the market. I saw her smiling while she left, and I had rarely seen her smiling that meant something is for sure fishy.I immediately called one of my men and asked him to follow her and inform me where she was going. And then, I was shocked to know that she entered a restaurant.I had asked her to purchase groceries? What was she doing that the restaurant? I had to confront her, and that's why I quickly got out of my office. Luckily the restaurant was near my office so I reached there within ten minutes.The moment I got inside, I saw her talking to some guy. My blood boiled in anger. So my wife was doing this behind my back? She was cheating on me?The moment I got near them, the guy turned around to leave, and the moment I saw him, I immediately recognised him. It was Saksham. The rage in me grew more. I was about to kill that bastard in college, and now, he was with my wife? How cou
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 36. Humiliated
FLASHBACKRAAHII felt a sharp pain in my back when Arhaan threw me on the bed, making me unable to move. My entire body was hurting due to the hitting I got minutes earlier. I felt terrible.I tried a lot to explain to Arhaan my side, but he didn't even listen to me. He continued to blame me for everything that I haven't done. I couldn't find a way.And then, I saw him removing his shirt. The horror I was in grew more as my eyes widened."No," I gasped.And then, after removing his shirt, he hovered over me."No. Arhaan, please," I cried out as loud as I could.He didn't listen to me.And then, I felt his lips on mine, struggling to kiss me. I tried my best to resist. I didn't want to kiss this man at any cost. I tried to push him away but he held my hands and pinned them on the bed over me. I cried as I struggled but this felt like he wasn't even interested to hear my cries."No, please!"I cried once more as he started kissing me on my neck. I felt horrible, I was struggling a lot
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 37. A Horrible Act
FLASHBACKRAAHIThat night was just the beginning. I just got a hint of what kind of monster Arhaan actually is and up to what extent he could go and that scared me the most.The next morning, my entire body was aching and I couldn't even get up from the bed. I was in sobs and pain."Raahi, Where is my tea?" I heard Arhaan shout.His voice immediately made me flinch and I was trying to get out of the bed. But the pain was so much that I couldn't even move.And then, he barged into the room and saw me. He rushed to me and yanked my hairs immediately."You bitch. I am shouting and asking for tea for hours and you're here? Laying down on the bed and chilling?" His voice was hoarse and it was plain anger."No! Act...actually my body is aching bad...badly so I can't get..m get up," I cried out in pain.And then, with a jerk, he pulled me out of the bed and threw me on the floor."Ouch!" I cried out. I hit the floor on my elbows and it hurt."I don't want excuses. I want my tea," he shouted
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 38. Police Case
FLASHBACKRAAHI"What?" The officer was shocked after hearing my answer.I nodded in affirmation."Girl. Look. He is your husband, how can he rape you?" She questioned me."If he did that to me, even after I cried and begged him to stop. Wouldn't that called to be a rape?" I looked at her with painful eyes."But he is your husband," she said in a low tone."Does that change anything? Does that ease the trauma and horrific experience that I had to go through? Does that soothe the pain?" I questioned.She went silent and looked towards the floor. For a moment, I couldn't even believe that she wasn't ready to file an FIR just because Arhaan was my husband. Even if he is my husband, does that give him a right to rape me?"Well, I can't file a complaint against rape committed by your husband," she muttered."Wh...what?" I was shocked.I looked at the police officer with a terrible shock that I felt moments ago. She wasn't ready to file FIR against him? Why?"Actually, in our constitution,
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 39. Raff
FLASHBACKRAAHI"Take the case back." My mother ordered.I fell numb to my mother's words. She just asked me to take my case back."B...but why?" I stammered."Because I am telling you to do that," she spoke in a firm voice."Why are you telling me to do this?" I asked."Because, he is your husband," she shouted in a loud tone."So? Does that give him a right to torture me physically or mentally?" I retorted.I couldn't believe that my own parents were taking his side. I knew they were strict and they didn't support me in the things I wanted to do. But I had never thought that they would be standing against me at the time when I needed them the most. They would break me entirely like that."Arhaan had told us what you did," my father spoke in a cold tone.I turned towards him."What did I do?" I questioned.I wanted to know what their loving son-in-law told them. I wanted to know how low he would stoop to destroy my life. I couldn't cry, I had cried enough, I had to know what my paren

Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) Epilogue
TWO YEARS LATER RAAHI I was wrapping up my shift when I heard a car honk and I immediately knew who it was. I smiled and looked towards the door of the restaurant, waiting for them. And then, the door finally opened, and Arohi ran towards me with a trophy in her hand. "Mumma!" She jumped in happiness as she hugged me tightly. I hugged her back and kissed her forehead. "Your daughter is a champ," Saksham muttered as he stood beside me. "I know that," I winked. "Mumma! I won first prize at the speech competition," Arohi proudly boasted as she handed over the trophy to me. "Wow! Congratulations baby," I happily spoke. My daughter was rocking in her school and I wanted nothing more. "The topic was about superheroes, and everyone spoke about spiderman, ironman or superman, but my speech was the most different," she muttered. "Oh really? What was it?" I questioned. "I talked about you. Because you're my superhero, Mumma," Arohi replied and hugged me. Arohi's words made me feel
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 48. Freedom
RAAHI "Divorce? Raahi, have you gone nuts? Do you want to divorce your husband when he needs you the most? No good wife divorces her husband," my mother shouted at me. "Well, no one was there with me when I needed people the most. To hear me, to be by my side and to not ask me to tolerate everything I suffer, so why should I be with them in their hard times?" I calmly replied. "Raahi. You're Arhaan's wife. You can't do this," she shouted again. "Why Mumma? Why am I pressurised to be a good wife? Why is it so important? Nobody asked Arhaan to be a good husband, nobody told him anything, then why me?" I questioned. I then turned towards Maa and looked at her. "Maa. Tell me. If I tried to complain about Arhaan, why was I sushed by my parents and my in-laws? Whenever you tried to take my side, why were you punished along with me? We weren't criminals, we didn't murder someone, so why?" I looked at her with teary eyes. "Raahi. You're a woman. We have to live under the shadows of our
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 47. Gift To Self
RAAHI I went numb when I heard the news. I looked at Saksham and Mrinal, and it felt like they were expecting a reaction out of me. But I just couldn't. I didn't know what to feel. I didn't even feel a glint of sympathy at this news. "Raahi!" Saksham nudged me out of my thoughts. "Yeah?" I looked at him. "Are you okay?" He questioned. "Yeah! I am," I replied with a smile. "The news," Mrinal muttered. "Yeah! What did the officer say?" I questioned. "He told us to reach to the hospital. They have informed Arhaan's parents and your parents as well," Saksham informed. For a second, I panicked. My cover was blown up. What rubbish would I have to hear from my parents and Arhaan's father? How would I even face Maa? "Raahi," Saksham tapped my shoulders. "Yeah. I think we should go," I replied. And then, I looked at Mrinal. "Don't worry, I will take care of Arohi and will handle the party," she responded with a warm smile. "Thank you so much," I thanked her. And then, I left wit
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 46. A Phone Call
RAAHI I screamed at Arhaan to get out of my house. I had no idea how I got the strength to face him and do this. But all I knew was that I have had enough, and if I fight this time, I could never do this. "Baby. I love you, why are you saying this? Why are you asking me to get out?" Arhaan's tone suddenly changed. He was trying to butter me, but this wasn't going to work this time. "But I don't. I don't love you and I have never loved you," I screamed at the top of my voice. "Raahi," he looked shocked. "Arhaan. Get out, or else... I will make sure whatever I said about Arohi," I threatened him again. Arhaan looked at me. His eyes were full of anger, but I wasn't afraid of him anymore. I could never be afraid of him after this. "You're gonna pay off this Raahi," he growled. "If anything named Karma exists, it will be you who will be paying the price," I replied, looking deep into his eyes. And then, he walked out of my apartment. The moment I could feel Arhaan's absence from
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 45. She Retorted
RAAHI "Ah....arhaan," I stuttered. I looked at him. I knew his wicked smile and the way he talked. I knew this wouldn't be good for me. I closed my eyes tightly. No! I can't fall weak now. I can't. I have suffered for seventeen years, and after this, I finally managed to escape and create a little happy place for myself. I can't let Arhaan ruin that for me anymore. I opened my eyes and looked at him. I won't get scared anymore. "What are you doing here?" I questioned him in a confident voice. "Damn! You spoke a complete statement without stuttering. That's something new," he winked as he walked towards me. I gulped as I took my steps backwards. I had no idea what Arhaan had in his mind right now. All I knew, was that after this, he would drag me back to Delhi and I couldn't let that happen. "Where is Arohi?" He questioned. Arohi! How could I even forget her? Mrinal! Thank God Arohi is with Mrinal, and she would keep my baby safe. "Aru!" Arhaan shouted, looking around the ti
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 44. Birthday
RAAHI"Come on, Arohi. Hurry up, or else you will be getting late for school," I muttered as I packed her lunch."Yes, Mumma. I'm coming," she replied from the room.I quickly served both of us breakfast as I was already getting late for work, and I didn't want that. And then, Arohi walked towards the dining table and sat on her seat. She started having breakfast."Mumma, I did my hairs today," she proudly boasted.I looked at her, and even though her hairs were a bit messy, she did it nicely. I smiled."It's good. It will just need a little bit of care from Mumma, and it will be fine," I winked.The initial few days were tough for both of us, with Arohi asking for her Daddy and disrespecting me and other stuff, but slowly, she started learning things, and three months were enough for our bond to improve. She was being a good girl, and I felt proud of her.She used to notice me, that I managed work and home altogether, and with that, she started helping me with little chores. Those we
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 43. Escape
FLASHBACKRAAHIAnd all the preparations took me a year, but still, I waited patiently because I could make no mistakes.One Day...I served a cup of tea to Arhaan."Raahi. Listen," he muttered."Yeah?" I questioned."The cameras in our house aren't working properly, so I have turned them off. A guy might come to fix it the day after tomorrow," he spoke."Okay," I nodded.Actually, the cameras were working fine, it was I who pulled out a couple of wires so that they malfunction. I had to do that because, in order to escape, I needed the cameras to remain turned off.I was about to turn around and walk away, but then Arhaan held my wrist tightly and pulled me close to him."Ah!" I hissed in pain."Before, you leave, let me make one thing very clear," he husked.He was looking at me dangerously, and I gulped. He looked scary."One mistake and you have no idea what the consequences can be," he howled.I gulped."There won't be any mistake," I weakly mumbled.I can't afford to make mistak
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 42. A Plan
FLASHBACKRAAHI"How could you even scold my daughter? Who gave you the right to do that?" I heard Arhaan's angry words as he pulled my hairs and made me stand up. My forehead was hurting badly due to the hit, but he didn't care."You will have to be taught a lesson," he growled and then, he dragged me towards the room."I'm sorry, please, don't," I cried as I didn't want to bear that.But all my pleas were going to fall on dead ears as Arhaan care about nothing. He just needed reasons to torment me, and when he has got one, he wouldn't let it go at any cost.He dragged me to the room and whipped me with the same belt, and when he was done with that, he asked me to get up and go to prepare for dinner.I somehow tolerated all the pain, and when I walked towards the kitchen, I looked at Arohi. She looked confused by what happened. Maybe, initially, she thought she was happy that Arhaan scolded me, but in my later condition, I could see in her eyes that my daughter was scared of it.But
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 41. As Time Passed
FLASHBACKRAAHIAnd the journey continued. Day after day, year after year, I was tormented, tortured by Arhaan just because he was my husband and he had a right to do so.He played the part of a perfect husband when outside, proudly showing me off like I'm his trophy, at parties and get-togethers. I had to learn to do make up and hide my scars, I had to learn to put a fake smile on my face and talk with everyone.Even if he introduced me to new people, he never mentioned them my name, he used to address me as Mrs Arhaan Awasthi. No one apart from our family knew my name, not even our neighbours or Arhaan's friends or colleagues. He was successful at wiping off my existence entirely and was proud of it.With all the show off of being a perfect husband and his trophy wife, no one knew what happened behind those closed doors. The ones who knew just told me to accept it as my fate and make amendments.I was abused and raped on a daily basis. He would beat me, humiliate me, hurl abuses at
