Fake death

It was the first time Daniel had ever shouldered someone's funeral. As everyone left Eva’s freshly buried grave in the pouring rain, Daniel remained behind, crouched down by her resting place, tears flowing freely. His soul seemed to wither under the weight of his grief, the loss eating him alive.He believed he had served her murderer a punishment worse than death with his own hands, yet the pain persisted, unrelenting and sharp."Take care of yourself, Daniel. Be patient." Someone’s voice broke through the rain, his hand gripping Daniel's shoulder in a gesture of comfort. The rain intensified, soaking them both."We should go now," Jake urged, and reluctantly, Daniel let himself be guided back to the car, his mind still anchored to the grave. They drove home in silence, the atmosphere heavy with sorrow.But as soon as they stepped through the door, a frantic maid met them with dreadful news."Mam... she... she tried to take her own life!" she stammered, her voice trembling.Daniel's

Refuge

Two days later, Tasha found herself in the small, cozy home of her aunt . The journey here felt like a fevered blur—she could barely remember boarding the train, her aunt’s anxious face, or the rattling journey through the plains.Aunt’s house was simple but welcoming, with a garden outside and the constant sound of the nearby railway station. The rhythmic thunder of passing trains filled the air, but Tasha barely noticed. She spent most of her time in her aunt’s room, clutching a pillow to her chest, her mind trapped in the memories of that man—Daniel Bruno. He loved her, obsessive with her, how could he easily believe this?One night, a sudden clap of thunder jolted her awake. She leaped from the bed, running to Aunt’s room like a frightened child. She curled up beside her aunt, hiding under the blanket as the storm raged outside. Aunt wrapped an arm around her, holding her tight, but Tasha remained tense, her body trembling with unspoken fears.“Tasha, you’re safe here. He can’t hu

New Friend

She returned home from cafe and went straight to the kitchen. After grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge, she headed to her room. Turning on the TV, she settled onto the couch, remote in hand.As she took a sip from her newly opened bottle, a news segment captured her attention. “Our channel brings you the latest updates. Daniel Bruno, son of the renowned politician, has returned to country today after completing his education. Our representatives are live at the airport.”Hearing his name sent a chill down her spine. The water bottle slipped from her grasp, splattering its contents across the floor, drenching her clothes and the remote.“Ahhhhh!” she screamed, the panic welling up inside her. It had been six months since that fateful day, and her life had gradually returned to a semblance of normalcy. But now, with the announcement of his return, all the painful memories surged back to the forefront of her mind.That savage beast had destroyed her life. How could he return peac

He is back

"Mam, you have been called to the principal's office." She was delivering the lecture when she got this message."Okay," she replied, but an unease settled in her stomach. What could this be about? She tucked her pen away, her mind racing with possibilities as she made her way to the principal's office, each step heavier than the last.Standing before the imposing white door, she hesitated, her hand hovering over the doorknob. What could possibly await her inside? Taking a deep breath, she knocked softly."Come in," a soft voice beckoned from within.Pushing the door open, she stepped inside, feeling the chill of the air-conditioned room wrap around her like a shroud. The door clicked shut behind her, and she turned instinctively, startled. Who closed the door? A shiver crept down her spine.Before her was the principal's desk, but the chair was turned away, obscuring its occupant. Her heart raced as she steadied herself. "Sir, you called me?" she managed, her voice trembling slightly

Stay Away

When she regained consciousness, the sterile scent of antiseptic filled her nostrils. Blinking against the harsh light overhead, she realized she was in a hospital room. Her aunt, sat nearby, murmuring prayers as her fingers moved rhythmically over a string of Tasbih beads."Auntie..." Her voice came out as a croak, weak and unsure. Her aunt’s head shot up, relief flooding her face.“Thank God you’re awake! How are you feeling, my dear?” She leaned closer, her concern palpable. But the panic struck again, surging through her chest like a tidal wave.“Where is he?” she whispered, her voice trembling.“Who, dear? What are you talking about?” Aunt’s brows furrowed as she studied her niece’s frightened expression.“That beast... Daniel,” she blurted out, her hands clutching the blanket. “He was here! I saw him!” Her aunt’s expression softened, confusion mixing with concern.“No, dear, you must have imagined it. He is nowhere near here. You fainted at college; your colleague found you unco

Bad intentions

Tasha's life had become a constant cycle of fear and uncertainty. Ever since that day, when her world had turned upside down with accusations she could hardly defend herself against, she had retreated into a shell. The warmth she once felt seemed like a distant memory. And though time moved on, it didn't ease her fears—it only blurred them, like shadows stretching longer in the fading light.Her aunt had always tried to make life seem brighter. Today, she was positively glowing with excitement. Her husband, Mr. James, was finally returning after ten long years. She headed eagerly to the Venice airport to welcome him back, the joy evident in her every word.When Uncle James arrived, Tasha greeted him respectfully. "How are you, Uncle." He waved his hand dismissively, a teasing smile playing on his lips."Uncle? Come on, I’m not that old. Think of me as a friend. Isn’t that what young people say these days?” But when he reached out, placing his hand on her shoulder, she froze. The gestu

Marry me, Tasha

Tasha was busy baking bread, her mind lost in the repetitive motions. Her hands moved automatically, a temporary escape from the anxiety that clouded her days. Suddenly, she heard a voice behind her, making her jump."Hey, you got scared. I just came to check if the bread's done," Uncle James said, his smile holding a predatory edge. His eyes lingered on her with a familiarity she despised. Tasha's pulse quickened."It's not done yet. You should go sit outside. I'll bring it to you." She tried to keep her voice steady, but fear laced her tone. Carl’s words echoed in her mind, urging her to be brave, to stand up for herself. Uncle James ignored her, stepping closer. "Hey, the bread’s burning," he said, seizing her wrist. His grip was too tight, his intentions all too clear."Leave my hand!" Tasha yanked her hand back, her voice rising.She picked up the hot tongs, her grip firm despite the fear that churned in her stomach. With a surge of anger, she swung them at him. The tongs seared

Threat

The café stood silent in the dead of night, a refuge from the chaos of the outside world. She returned, her heart heavy with sorrow, only to find the door unlocked. Pushing it open, she stepped inside, greeted by an emptiness that mirrored her own. She needed solitude, a moment to gather her thoughts and process the turmoil churning within her.As she leaned against the wall, grief washed over her like a tidal wave. How could she have turned her back on love? The very hands that had once embraced him now felt like shackles, binding her to the pain of rejection. The weight of Daniel's cruelty pressed down on her, a constant reminder of the loss of her favorite person, taken away forever by his brutality.A fire ignited within her—an anger that had been simmering just beneath the surface. For the first time, the thought of Daniel didn't fill her with fear; instead, it fueled a burning desire for revenge. She wanted him to feel the same anguish she endured, to suffer as she did. The idea

Who is he?

“Not this time,” he growled, his eyes burning with a fierce desire for revenge. “What did you think? You could kill me and walk away in peace? Today, the tables have turned. Your soul will tremble before mine.” He gripped her delicate arm tightly, his fingers digging in as if he were afraid she might slip away. With his other hand, he seized her dupatta, yanking it off her head and throwing it aside as if it were nothing.In a flash, he pushed her fragile body to the floor, climbing on top of her. Panic washed over her. “Someone save me! Please! Help!” she cried, her voice shaking with fear. She couldn’t believe this was happening again. After Daniel’s betrayal, now she was facing her uncle’s brutality. The helplessness was overwhelming, igniting a flame of rage within her.“Shut up! Just be quiet for a moment!” he barked, his temper boiling over. Without warning, he slapped her hard across the face, but the pain did little to silence her. Instead, she gritted her teeth and bit down o
