All Chapters of Ember To My Flame: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Author********FLASHBACK STARTS**Tiptoeing towards the backyard where his love was painting and chatting with Riddhi, Dhruv tried to scare them off."Bhoo," he shouted near their ears. Riddhi screamed in horror but to his surprise, Saavi didn't.She was as calm as a deep ocean. Riddhi stomped her feet and went inside whining while Dhruv laughed at her antics.Turning her gaze towards Saavi he asked, "You didn't get scared?""You are not scary.""I can be, see I even scared Riddhi.""You can be, but not to me.""Really?" He wanted to make sure whether she was telling the truth or just saying it to please him.She nodded in response smiling at him."So, you will never get scared of me? Not even in the future?""And why would I be scared of you?""Maybe when I become ruthless." he was trying to know her perception but her replies were making his feelings for her grow even stronger.

Dhruv******I laid her down on my bed and kissed her gently on her forehead. I stayed with her for a while caressing her cheeks. She would have gotten up but the effect of injection didn't let her to.I kept the small bag in my cupboard which had probably two or three clothes in it. I needed to arrange a lot of things for her.I went to my living room and the first thing I did was called Niharika. She picked up after two rings and as expected sound worried,"Hello.""Dhruv? Where are you? Did you forget today's meeting? Mrs. Lizzie will....""Niharika, calm down first. I need to tell you something very important and also I needed your help.""What is it?""I will be on leave for a week. Tell Mr. Richard and Ms. Lily to handle the meetings and postpone those that require my presence.""Are you going somewhere?""Yeah, kind of.""Thank God. Finally, you are taking leave, and don't worry about the meet

Dhruv******I got up with the sounds coming from my room. I found myself in a different surrounding and then I remembered that I slept outside my room last night in order to make sure that she is fine.Getting up from the floor, I went inside the room. Hearing my footsteps, she turned around and got terrified. Didn't she recognize me, I thought.She scooted to the corner of the room just like yesterday, I tried to go to her but she got more terrified and as a result, I had to move back.Looks like we were back again to square 1."Muffin," I called her and all she was trying to do is hiding the bracelet from me as if I was there to steal it."Muffin, I won't hurt you. Just please look at me once." She obliged after a while but it took a lot of convincing."Do you recognize me? We met yesterday, do you remember me?" I asked hoping for her to nod in affirmative but she was just staring at me with her doe eyes without even blinkin

Dhruv******She was sleeping peacefully in my arms while I was staring at her for the past one hour, reminiscing how she used to look before. She was with me but I was not happy.Although I have always dreamt of a life where she will be with me but not like this. That's not how it was supposed to happen. She was looking so peaceful as if she slept this peacefully after a very long time.My heart clenched looking at her sleepy form. I was caressing her cheeks but she stirred in her sleep so I instantly removed my hand, not wanting to disturb my little angel's sleep. But the damage was done as she opened her eyes. Her gaze fell on me and I stilled at my place not knowing what's going to happen next.I was in a dilemma, what should I do, should I greet her good morning or should I leave the bed, will she get panicked.It was so difficult to predict her action. I decided to get out of the bed and with that thought as I was about to move she hel

Author*****Whistling to his tune he entered the dark cell, to be precise, the dungeon he prepared especially for her.He found her sitting in a corner with her head buried in her knees."What a sight to watch! The fierce young lady is scared?" amusement was visible in his eyes but that couldn't stay for long as she looked up at him and said,"Not even in your dreams." her bitter tone didn't go unnoticed by him which only made him furious.No one has ever dared to talk back at him but this girl he has been trying to break from last one month was not giving up. He was himself surprised what kept her going? Why is she not succumbing to him? Why?All these questions were only making things worse for him, but this time he has come with a very different and a heinous solution.Chuckling at her he said, "You are very stubborn. I haven't seen anyone like you, this brave. Alas! This bravery of yours will not last for long. Because I a
