BREAKING FREE (pragya's story) (ON HOLD)

Chapter 3

Hey guys, sorry this chapter came later than promised, it's been a hectic week. Anyhow let's get into it.

KENSINGTON LONDON

"It's been an amazing couple of weeks", Pragya thought to herself as she sat reclining on her big white sofa in her elegant corner office. It had been 3 weeks since that incident, that dreadful night she was gripped with fear like never before, she took a sip of her coffee and began reminiscing the events of the past couple of weeks.

Pragya's P.O.V

It's been three weeks since that night, that night for the first time in seven years I felt the earth beneath my feet crumble and my world fall apart, I have never been so afraid in my life, not even when I was with him. If I hadn't been awake, I would have unknowingly lost everything

*Flashback*

King went forward and carried a sleeping pragya in his arms and laid her on the bed properly but pragya's sleep got disturbed as she was a light sleeper, she did not open her eyes however, she just wanted to feel his touch, to be in his arms, to feel safe in a way that only he could make her. So she kept her eyes closed and just felt him, he gently stroked her hair and placed a lingering kiss on her forehead which filled her stomach with butterflies and made her smile a little but king did not notice this and began to speak,
"I'm sorry cara mia, I made you cry today, I'm so sorry, please forgive me. I don't want to lose you, I can't live without you and this thing will tear you away from me. I know it is selfish but I can't be any other way when it comes to you, you're my life, I will give my life for you if ask me to, nothing is worth more to me than you. Please don't leave me"
These words broke pragya's heart as she listened, the realization struck her, why he did not want to go through with it, how could she not see? How could she have been so blind? He was protecting her like he always did but this time he was afraid, that was what she saw in his eyes earlier, fear. She cursed herself for making him feel that way, she now understood that in trying to help him achieve his dream, she was making him feel like he was losing everything that mattered to him. She understood that he thought that her wanting him to go through with it meant that she still loved that man, the mere thought of it made her sick to her stomach, imagine how he must have felt? She realized then what she had to do.

*End of flashback*

Pragya : I realized that night that I was still letting my past rule over my present, I did not understand how it made my mon Cher feel, but after that night I made a decision that I will never let that happen again. It was a bittersweet moment, very confusing to say the least. In one night I got the worst news of my life and the best one at the same time.

She said with a light chuckle, her face was glowing and her skin was radiant. That smile did not leave her face once even as she recalled the horrors of that night. She look out the big window from her office and saw the students walking up and down, sitting on the grass and chatting at the Kensington University. She had just finished the mountain of work that had accumulated when she took leave for two weeks and also fixed the mess her subordinates made in her absence, running a prestigious university like Kensington Uni was truly a job and a half, not everyone can do it but she made it look so effortlessly easy. Her students and colleagues almost literally tackled her when she returned, they were so relieved to have her back that they threw her a party. She was surprised at their reaction since she had only been gone for two weeks but they said to them it felt like two years and begged her to never leave them again, she chuckled at that thought and rested her head on her arm while sitting upright legs crossed.
