Prologue

"But my father never smoked,Veer.",I shouted looking at my boyfriend who was trying to convince me that my father died due to a fire accident as he smoked during a gas leakage.

"Why are you not understanding me?I know him.He never smoked.",I said falling on my knees as tears cascaded down my eyes making the kohl smudge all over my cheeks .

How everything changed in this minor 6 hours .The change of events was too much for her mind to process.How she lost her whole family in that fire,the holy symbol of power and destruction chose to bless her with destruction.

I was thinking about all this when I felt a sudden stinging near my wrist and my eyes went to my wrist where my blood was oozing out from a cut.I looked at the fresh cut and then at Veer who sat next to me holding the knife.Before,I could process what happened ,his hand encircled around my neck and he choked me cutting off my supply of oxygen.I held his hand and tried moving it away but his hold was too tight.

How could this happen?He can't be my Veer.He is someone else.The man who was promising to protect me with his life till 3 hours ago was now holding my neck cursing me to die,was it all a nightmare?God Ji, can we please end it here?

I was so deeply engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't even remembered when the hold on my neck loosened and I was on the floor in our penthouse with my arm bleeding and my harsh breathing.

Veer moved closer and held my jaw,he looked into my eyes and his words shattered something inside me."I never loved you,Taara.You were just a pawn in my game .How foolish of you to think that I would fall for this mediocre looking girl when I abed supermodels every night?You know your father ,the great lawyer,Mr.Randhir Singh Shekhawat ,was a great lawyer and you know what he did,baby girl?",he said in a voice filled with sarcasm.

I was too stunned to react .The man I loved with everything inside me was just using me as a pawn in his game . "You were the one behind all this,right ?",I said ,my voice coming out as a mere whisper.

He chuckled at my response and replied,"How smart,baby girl.You know I love you for this.We don't have to pretend that I cheated on you .I just needed someone to tell me the details about my case and who could be the best option than you?Taara Shekhawat,the brilliant poet ,an aspiring lawyer and most importantly the only person Randhir always loved to more than himself."I so badly wanted to kill him but I wasn't even able to stand .My body seemed paralyzed all of a sudden.

He looked at me and smirked,"Your efforts are all in Vain,my little girl .I already poisoned you.I couldn't have left you alive after telling you the truth.Take care baby .Do meet your dad in heaven and tell him that Ranveer Agnihotri never looses,doesn't matter what he needs to do." With that I felt a sudden increase in the room temperature as he lit up his lighter and moved it over the cut ,then at my neck and then he threw it near the gas and soon the kitchen caught fire.I tried standing up and leaving but my body wasn't able to move.I felt as if I was loosing all my strength.

I accepted death .It was peaceful,I didn't wanted to live anymore.I didn't even struggle maybe because I knew there was no knight in shining armour coming to save me .I slowly felt the heat increasing.It was the fire again,the fire of destruction,destruction of my dreams ,my hopes,my family and the lover inside me.If by any Miracle,I stay alive ,I swear to ruin you in every way possible,Ranveer Agnihotri.I crossed into oblivion and everything turned black.
