Varya’s Pov

The creaking and slamming of the door echoed through the thick darkness, yanking me from my sleep. My body ached from the hours spent lying stiff on the old iron bed. The cold, rough metal dug into my wrists where the ropes bound me, leaving deep, stinging welts.

I winced as I tried to adjust my position, willing my body to move slowly to avoid jarring my sore muscles. I needed rest, and more strength to endure this hell.

I had been here for weeks—weeks of waiting, wondering if this nightmare would ever end. Tia had made this place her playground. She’d come when she was bored, the malicious glint in her eyes giving away her pleasure in my suffering.

But the torture wasn’t just physical; it was the waiting, the not knowing when she’d next appear. And now… this.

The silence hung heavy in the air, unnerving. Tia was always loud, her heels clacking on the wooden floor before she even reached the door. But tonight, there was no such sound. The silence was broken only by the oc

    I tried to shout, to cry, but nothing would come out of my lungs and I understood that it would be the worst thing that I could do.Nobody was listening to me out here In this house which was neither home to anybody that would care to know where I was being confined. Finally, I could hardly see from the tears that filled my eyes, and my body heaved with the terror that engulfed me.Theo tried to comfort me and physically wiped a tear from my cheek; amid all the chaos he was almost tender but this did not settle my storm in any way; he looked at me, then let out a huge breath before moving away but kept staring at me.“I never planned for it to be like this”, he whispered, his voice boring into the guilt lane.“But you pushed me to it, Varya,” he said, “You made me do this.”I wished to scream at him and let him know that it was his actions that destroyed any possibilities for us. But the words were on my lips and I choked because of the intensity of the feeling that seized me.He then

    Kylo’s POVThere was a calm that pervaded the night and died off sounds that I had rewound the security tape player that had spent years in the dusty bin. I felt the gradual burden of time as the images came through in black and white on the screen amped up.In one way or another, I never could have guessed that the events of what I was soon to witness would turn around the perception I once had about the night Varya’s father died.When the camera was running the shadows of the subjects being recorded on the tape started to appear. It was old certainly from the time before using digital systems instead of analog ones and the quality was rather low.But it was enough. I could make out the silhouette of the truck – the very same truck that was involved in the fatal accident that took Varya’s father’s life.The same truck had shown me burning and its steel exterior merrily melting down under the inferno. At that time, however, What I did not realize was who was pulling the strings at the

    Theo's POVI couldn’t believe my eyes, but I had to admit that I had flinched. He was getting too close! My heart was racing so fast in my chest. Every keystroke or any noise from outside my door made me even more apprehensive. He was on to us. He had to be.The evidence of Varya's disappearance was bound to surface. Kylo was never one to let anything slip through his fingers. And Varya—she wasn’t just anybody. She was his wife, and before that, she was mine.I slammed my fist against the desk, the force of it echoing in the cold room. How had it come to this? How had I allowed everything to spin so wildly out of control? Varya—my beautiful Varya—locked up because of me.And Tia, with her venomous eyes, looked at me like I was some puppet on strings. She loathed Varya for the hold she still had over me, over Kylo, over everything."She's ruining everything," Tia hissed, pacing back and forth, her heels clicking against the floor in an irritating rhythm."If Kylo gets his hands on her—

    She was hoping to keep me calm, to be the good Indian husband, and to do what needed to be done for our benefit.But how could I remain cool and collected when all the efforts and preparations that I have been dedicating all these years were on the verge of falling down the drain?Tia didn’t understand. She never would. This was not the power and the money fight for me, it was Varya. and if Kylo found her… if he took her from me again…As usual, the streak of anger swelled in me again, and I distinctly clutched my fists. Absolutely not, I would not let him. I couldn’t.As the days went by, I found myself losing my grip on reality more and more. The walls just seemed to slowly come in and grow darker and even more oppressive.Any sound, even the whisper made me start, and my paranoia went further into my head.Kylo was out there, somewhere, looking for her. He was getting closer I was sensing it. And with each passing day, the threat was mounting, the sense of the potential exposure of

    Theo’s POVThe atmosphere within the house was so stifling, thick with both stress and concealed matters. My footsteps reverberated across the palatial corridors but brought no comfort whatsoever. Truth be told, wherever I went, guilt pursued me closely.It had been several weeks since I confined Varya to that underground chamber in the mansion. Only Tia and I knew about its existence. Although she was imprisoned there too, I kept thinking about her which made me insane.I find myself standing in front of the door to that hidden chamber, looking at its steel frame as if the solution to my problems lies within those walls. My palm rests on a cold metal knob and for just one second, I want to open it and get in there just to see her again. Varya. The woman who had consumed me.But I couldn’t. Not yet. Not while my thoughts churned like a violent storm, laced with fear, paranoia, and something darker—something dangerous.Kylo was closing in. I could feel it in my bones. I’d seen the way

    “No,” I said firmly. “You are not leaving this place until we find a solution.”Varya’s expression crumpled, and she turned away from me, retreating back into her silence.For a brief moment, I remained there, observing her. Guilt was munching me, but I shoved it deep down, like an elevator going to the basement.I slammed shut the door behind me and set it on lock, the feeling that something vital was slipping through my fingers wouldn’t go away. It was as though every time I tightened my grip on it, it slipped away further and further.---Days passed with nothing but tension and paranoia. Increasingly, I'd found myself spending less time at home; unable to come face-to-face with what I had done. Wherever I went, my concern lay in leaving Varya with Tia.Yes, because Tia's impatience had become hostility, resulting in whispering her name around in hatred. I could see it in the way she looked at me, the way she talked about Varya.She wanted her gone. Permanently. And while I underst

    TIA'S POVLying had turned out to be something that I had learned was very easy to do with time. Getting married to Theo was never about love, affection, or even intimacy; it was all about living and domination. I had to become the co-owner of his father’s company and this called for the next part I had to perform.But recently it became tiring. Sitting and observing how Theo becomes a different person before my eyes and slowly descending into a state of the mad was like standing on the edge of a cliff and I did not know how much longer I could stay on.Theo had been once hearty, and spirited, a real man that I wanted to marry. But now? Now he was just a pale shadow of the man she remembered, so absorbed in Varya and the looming threat of Kylo finding out the truth.I was sitting opposite him in his office, drumming my immaculately polished nails against the leather of the chair’s armrest pretending to be the concerned partner.But inside, I was disgusted.

My focus was on the man I was about to confront. Theo Anderson. I had been circling this man for weeks, pushing every lead, every thread of suspicion that linked him to Varya’s disappearance. Something didn’t add up.Theo had always been calm, calculating, and careful. But lately, I had sensed cracks in his demeanor. Cracks that I was determined to exploit.I entered his office without knocking, and Theo glanced up from behind his desk, clearly surprised by my unannounced presence.

This was what I had been preparing for, what we had been waiting for.The baby was coming, and I was going to bring them into the world.Kylo never left my side, his voice a constant source of encouragement, his hand a lifeline as I struggled through each contraction.He wiped my forehead with a cool cloth and whispered words of love and re

    This confidence he had in us, in our capacity to manage a new phase boosted my morale erasing my fear places.I remember it very vividly, we were watching a movie one afternoon while lying on the couch in the living room and suddenly I felt a vigorous kick. I choked on my words, putting the palm of my hand on my swollen belly.“What happened?” Kylo asked, sitting up at once.“Everything is okay,” I replied cheerfully. "The baby just kicked really hard. Here, feel."I guided his hand to the spot, and we both waited. A moment later, another kick came, this time even stronger.Kylo's eyes widened in amazement. "Wow... they're strong.""I know," I laughed. "I think we're going to have a little soccer player on our hands."He grinned, leaning down to press a kiss to my belly. "I can't wait to meet you, little one. But take it easy on your mom, okay?"I watched him, my heart swelling with love. Seeing Kylo so involved, and so excited about becoming a father, made everything feel even more s

    It was rather reassuring to be back home after the whirlwind which is our honeymoon, yet at the same time it was also rather daunting.The Island was once a beautiful place where all I cared for was our presence, Kylo and I had no other distractions.But it was time for us to step back and face our day-to-day lives, my pregnancy, and everything that came with it.By then I was several months pregnant and some of the symptoms were clearly visible to the naked eye. My tummy protruded out significantly and with that some effect of carrying a child.While the honeymoon had provided respite from pregnancy, the moment we were home, pregnancy was as real as reality could get.When about the house I felt both at ease with being home though nervous about the changes happening to me and around me.It pleased me that Kylo stayed close at my side; his fingers lightly brushing over my lower back.He got more caring and thoughtful than ever; I could easily see how much he cared for me and how much

    I trusted him with everything that I had: heart, future, and life. Two days later we were in a private jet, by the influence I guess Kylo had, I had no idea where we were going. Kylo was not on specifics up to that time, but I did not give it much thought. There is nothing like suspense or perhaps relying on the unknown on the person. With that, I reclined in the chair and then looked at the shrinking landscape outside the plane’s small window. Kylo leaned forward, picked up my hand in his, and I looked at him and smiled. “You’re really not going to give me any hints?” I said as calmly as I could, though my voice was visibly laden with curiosity. Kylo chuckled, shaking his head. “Nope. You’ll find out soon enough.” I pouted playfully, but I knew better than to press him. Kylo loved his surprises and I must say, I enjoyed them as well. There’s something good about not knowing what’s next, about just going with the flow and chilling. The flight went by in no time, with Ky

    Those days after the wedding were as if I was on honeymoon, loved being in that state, and did not want to wake up. I might as well describe it like this; the tranquility that came over me was one I never felt before. It was as though a weight I had no idea was lifted off my back, allowing me to breathe freely once more. There was a warmth that filled my whole body in place of the constricted knots in my stomach. It is worth noting that in the beginning of the story our marriage can be described as a purely business-like arrangement, a very practical marriage of convenience. But instead with time, it had become something concrete, something lovely. The relationship that Kylo and I had was a product of the most unlikely circumstances and the complacency that I felt as I stared at the house we had constructed together could only be described as profound. It was morning, the sun was shining and the rays of sunlight started entering the room through the windows. I was now pl

    Kylo went first, his voice steady as he began to speak.“So Varya,” he began glancing at my eyes all the time,“when we got married for the first time, it was a business deal between us; something that was advantageous to both of us but lacked emotional warmth typical of true marriage. I was unapproachable and even icy; I never gave you the love or respect that you deserved. But as time passed everything changed. I changed.”His grip on my hand tightened more and I could see how sincere he was from his facial expression which told me that he meant every word in every line on his face.“I fell in love with you Varya; it started off slowly before all these sudden feelings hit me. You taught me what it means to be there for someone else genuinely because one wants to change oneself for them.”“And I have caused you pain earlier but today I am making a promise as follows: To be the man whom you deserve; to love you wholly and to build a happy joyful life together based on faithfulness and

    The morning of the wedding was as well fine with no clouds in the sky to disturb the blue of the day. Now I found myself back in front of the mirror in my childhood room strapped and ready for this like a kid on Christmas Eve.The dress I bought for my wedding was an off-white, beautiful lace and silk gown that fitted me to perfection. It was plain and elegant and made me feel like flowers were blooming on my dress and the garden we would be getting married in was nearby.My mother was frequently touching my face, fixing my veil in position enrollment arrangement She caught my eye in the mirror and smiled, her expression soft with love and pride.“You look stunning, Varya,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. “Kylo is a lucky man.”“Thank you, Mom,” I replied, my voice trembling slightly. “I just… I want today to be perfect.”“It will be,” she assured me, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. “Today is about you and Kylo, about the love you share. That’s all that matters.

    VARYA’S POVThe day after Kylo's proposal felt like waking up in a dream. When dawn parted the curtains and let in the golden rays, it was hard to imagine that only a few hours ago Kylo had proposed to me for real.My hand went to the ring I now wore on my finger and the diamond again shone brightly against the sun, creating rainbows around the room.The moments were somewhat dreamlike and yet whenever I touched the ring on my finger I did not need anyone to tell me that this was all real. Kylo loved me.I stood up from the bed and walked towards the window and I looked outside at the city that was an unspoken character in our story, the one filled with both sorrow and happiness. This led my mind to the wedding which was now even in front of us.They were not an extension of a prior commitment, or repetition of a promise; it was the start of something fresh, of reality. And so the preparations could only be special as well.I could feel the buzz once I made my way downstairs in the ho

    He had planned this event to be an entertainment for families, as well as business counterparts. The atmosphere in the room was filled with laughter, echoes of glasses touching, and music.This was ideally the environment that I wanted when I had planned the entire thing, but the feeling that swelled in my chest was almost tangible.I thought I was standing by one of the tall windows of the building looking down on the city below. The twinkling bulbs were of a high intensity and I observed it was dark like the sky at night and this made me take my eyes off it for a while.Yet, there I was thinking about Varya most of the time. It was her that made me develop nerves today and became the reason for this nervous energy in the night.She stood across the room dressed in burgundy dress which enhanced the curves of her body.She was gorgeous and although I was quite far I could notice the look of despair she was masking so well.It was a sadness that I realized that I had provoked and this
