THE CROWNED

PROLOGUE

" I know what you must've done to get her to reject me. You're so absorbed in your selfishness that you forget about everything else. I curse the day I met you. ", Veer gritted through his teeth. Ira knew what he thought was wrong, what he assumed was entirely wrong but she chose silence as she had to keep her word. A word she had given to her best friend, the best friend her husband loved. ••••••" Why didn't you tell me she was back? How foolish was I to assume you would have changed from your jealous insecure self. ", Veer spewed the venomous words. " Maybe I am. ", Ira's eyes were filled up to the brim with tears. After what she had heard from her friend, she couldn't bring herself to face Veer anymore. " Well then it's better if you leave. ", Veer spoke with a broken heart. He wished for Ira to say something, anything but she only looked at him with tear filled eyes and left. •••••" You ruined my life, Veer. Just because you wanted Shama to stay out of trouble. I shouldnt have been the one taking the blame. "" But I love you. "" Confession as insincere as yours are a dime a dozen. What I will never get back are my opportunities. I lost everything because of you. Yes I was a fool in love but not as big as you were. "•••••••"Step back or I will have to use force.", cried Sindhuja drawing out her sword from the sheath."You would dare kill a Prince?", smirked Annirudh.********************************************"Your Higness-",Sindhuja blurted with tears in her eyes."One step forward and your entire family dies."********************************************"You are doing the same mistake you did five hundred years ago."********************************************Veer and Ira. Sindhuja and Kunwar Annirudh. The same pair woven into the tapestry of the universe twice. Why? For a do over. Will Veer repeat the same mistake? Or will he do the right thing this time?
