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
"W…Why…did you…bring me here?" She managed to gather the courage to ask him. Avyaansh, faced her with a smile that now frightened her, responded, "You should freshen up, I'll fetch something for you to eat. You haven't had a bite since yesterday.” She gazed at him, her eyes filled with a newfound fear that sent a jolt through his core. With a lingering glance, he rose from his seat and exited the room, gently closing the door behind him. The previous incident kept replaying in her mind, causing her chin to tremble. How could he be so heartless as to lock her in that abandoned basement, knowing about her phobia? Didn't it bother him that she was terrified to the core, to the point of fainting? The courage she had summoned to escape his clutches now dissipated, replaced by overwhelming fear. The memories of those horrendous moments spent in that basement made her tremble even now. She still feels the crawling on her legs. His words seemed caring, but Shanaya couldn't shake off the fe
The car was zooming down the empty road, moving swiftly in the dark night. The cool breeze brushed against her face, soft and gentle. She sat quietly, staring out the window, lost in her thoughts. He was driving, stealing glances at her every now and then. They hadn't said a word to each other for the past half an hour. Her shallow breaths were the only sound in the car. His phone suddenly beeped with a notification. He swiftly grabbed his phone and saw Ryan's name flashing on the screen. Bringing the car to a stop at the end of the bridge, he turned his head towards her. She remained still, her gaze fixed on the window. "Let's go down the bridge, there's a beautiful lake nearby. We can spend some time there," he suggested, unbuckling his seatbelt. Before he could assist her, she took the initiative and opened her car door, stepping out. He let out a sigh and followed suit, joining her by her side. “Shanaya, won't you talk to me,” He asked, sitting on the bonnet of his car while she
It was pitch-black outside while he was inside the gym room of his penthouse. The stillness of the room was broken by the rhythmic thuds of his fists against the punching bag, echoing through the darkness. It was like he was battling his inner demons under the cover of night. With each punch, he unleashed a torrent of pent-up frustration and anger. Sweat poured down his face, drenching his brow. His eyes blazed like fiery embers, fueled by the intensity of his rage. The force of his blows reverberated through the punching bag, causing it to shake violently. It was as if her words had ignited a fire within him, consuming his every thought. “How could you, Avyaansh? How could you stoop so low? My father, the man I've known my entire life, is not capable of such a heinous act. I don't believe in your false accusations, even if I am dying”. He was so consumed by his rage that he wasn't even concerned about his bleeding knuckles. He ripped off his gloves with his teeth and unleashed his b
