Once they were gone, he stepped out of his car and walked inside the police station. The officer, giving him a knowing nod and led him to the cell where Rajeev was being held. He entered the cell as the officer stepped aside, allowing them to talk alone. Inside the dimly lit cell, the air was heavy with tension. The flickering fluorescent lights cast eerie shadows on the cold, grey walls. Rajeev sat on a narrow, metal bunk, his face etched with weariness. The weight of the world seemed to rest upon his shoulders. The air felt heavy with unspoken truths and unanswered questions. Outside the cell, the station buzzed with activity. Officers hurriedly went about their duties, their voices blending into a symphony of urgency. Rajeev turned to see him standing inside the cell, face to face. The air crackled with tension, creating an atmosphere charged with anticipation. The smirk on Avyaansh's face only served to further agitate Rajeev's anger, causing him to grit his teeth in frustrat
At night; Shanaya stepped out of the bathroom, freshly showered, she slipped into her cozy pyjamas and wrapped a towel around her damp hair. She was indulge in checking her phone, when suddenly she got startled by a loud thud emanating from downstairs. With a furrowed brow she removed the towel from her hair, placing her phone on the bed she cautiously made her way out of her room, her curiosity picked up by the unsettling sound. As Shanaya descended the stairs, she found nothing amiss. The kitchen was bathed in dim light, with the staff having retired to their quarters there were no signs of anything wrong. She made her way to the kitchen, feeling parched, and poured herself a refreshing glass of chilled water all the while oblivious of the heated gaze following her every moves. As she gulped down the water, a sense of contentment washed over her, prompting a satisfied sigh to escape her lips. After keeping the glass back on the rack, she made her way out of the kitchen, only to
Next morning; As she drifted in the realm of dreams, she stirred, her fingers curling tightly around the soft sheets. Shifting restlessly, she turned to find solace on the other side of the bed. A contented moan escaped her lips as she sought the comforting warmth. With a gentle nudge, she nestled closer until her face was fully pressed against his chest. The steady rhythm of his heartbeat provided a soothing lullaby, cocooning her in a sense of security and warmth. As she shifted in her sleep, a huge weight encircled her waist, disturbing her peaceful slumber. With a gentle groan, she again turned to the other side, her back facing him, expressing her discontent in soft whimpers that mingled with the hushed whispers of her dreams. She felt something wet on her shoulder, followed by a gentle lick that roused her from her slumber. As she furrowed her brow in her sleep, a flicker of confusion crossed her face. Slowly, her eyes fluttered open, struggling to adjust to the unfamiliar c
As he stood in the kitchen, carefully flipping the omelet, his phone chimed with a message. He unlocked his phone and saw that Natasha had messaged him. "Rajeev is awake now. The surgery went successful, and he's out of danger." His face twisted into a sinister smirk as he read the text. A malicious glint danced in his eyes. With a devious satisfaction, he kept his phone aside and focused on the work in hand, relishing in the thought of the chaos he had caused. As he finished up in the kitchen, he headed to another room to get dressed. He couldn't help but chuckle to himself, finding her act of locking herself in the room rather childish. A smirk played on his lips as he thought about how she believed it would keep him out. He knew that if he wanted to, he could easily enter with the help of spare keys. It amused him to think of her futile attempt to keep him at bay. He walked into the kitchen, all dressed and ready to go out. With a sense of purpose, he started setting the food on t
Avyaansh's intense gaze pierced through her, his teeth clenched tightly in a menacing manner. Shanaya's heart pounded so forcefully in her chest that she feared it might burst out of her rib cage. Avyaansh's demeanor resembled that of a predator, ready to pounce on his prey, while Shanaya felt like a helpless deer caught in the blinding glare of headlights. Every cautious step she took backwards only seemed to fuel his menacing advance, intensifying her sense of dread. She couldn't shake the feeling that she was trapped in a dangerous game of cat and mouse. His words, filled with a mix of surprise and accusation, cut through the air like a knife. "You were running away from me?" The tension between them was palpable. “Again,” he voice dropped dangerously. Shanaya could only imagine what would come next. Avyaansh swiftly grabbed hold of her forearm, preventing her from making her escape. With a forceful spin, he turned her around, causing her to collide with his chest. The impact left
Next morning; She groggily opened her heavy eyelids, her vision blurred and hazy. It took a moment for her drowsy mind to register her surroundings. The morning sunlight gently streamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow in the room. As her gaze slowly focused, she noticed a change in her clothing, and a mix of confusion and frustration washed over her. She clenched fists and heaved deep breaths in anger, realizing that it must have been Avyaansh who had taken the initiative to change her clothes while she was passed out and the irony was she was not wearing innerwear, only his loose tee and shorts. She was still lost in her thoughts when a knock resonated through the door. “Ma'am,” she heard the maid's voice calling out before entering. “You're awake. Let me help you in using the bathroom,” the middle-aged woman offered kindly, extending a helping hand. As she stood up with the maid's support, she couldn't help but inquire, “W–Where is your sir?” “He wasn't here when I arri
The room was surrounded by darkness, the sound of her hiccups and whimpering were resonating in the eerie silence of the room. The sound of his shoes echoed in the room as he entered the basement. His gaze wandered around the room and stopped on her shivering figure. The air was heavy with an eerie silence broken by her small whimpers. Drawing her knees closer to her chest, she was sitting in one corner of the basement, in dread. She was claustrophobic and he was well aware of that. He couldn't help but notice the fear etched on her face. She looks so delicate, so scared. If he would be the old version of Avyaansh, he would have enjoyed her frightened state but this Avyaansh is completely different from the old one. And the reason is, She. She changed him. She wavered his heart with the warmth of love. Her face can be seen in the limited light of the room. In her panic, she didn't notice his presence while he was keenly observing her. His brows frowned when his eyes fell on the nai
Avyaansh was engrossed in his work, sitting in his study, surrounded by stacks of papers and blueprints for his hotel project. The evening sun cast a warm glow through the windows, while a gentle breeze wafted in, filling the room with a refreshing chill. The atmosphere was serene, allowing him to focus on his tasks with a sense of calm and determination. As he diligently worked on the intricate details of the contract agreement, his focus was suddenly interrupted by the buzzing of his phone. Rajeev's name illuminated the screen, and a devious grin slowly spread on his face. It was as if a mischievous glint had taken hold of him. Avyaansh's smirk widened looking at Rajeev's pale face on the video call. Neil's anger flared up, causing him to shout, "Where the hell is Shanaya?” The mention of her name from his mouth ignited a fiery rage within him. If he was in front of him Avyaansh would have killed him for even taking her name from his filthy mouth. Avyaansh maintained his confident
