Chapter-99

Author's POV

Horror was what he felt watching her tired body.

She was lying on the bed, unconscious. He didn't have to look at her face to make out that she was tired and in great pain. His name on her skin looked great. But the blood, dried blood made it seem horrible. It looked disgusting on her skin.

Instant guilt washed over his face. He felt sick about himself.

What had he done?

He had ruined her. With that, he ruined their possible future.

He realised it. Too late but he realised finally.

Muttering curses under his breath, he rubbed the antiseptic ointment over his name and bandaged the wound.

Parul didn't wake up during the whole process.

Shiva couldn't sleep all night. He was afraid that when the sun rose, she would leave him. For he deserved it.

He didn't even know what to do. It's not even fifteen days of their marriage, he ruined her and their relationship.

He was scared, very scared. The thought of her leaving him didn't leave his mind for once. And that thought kept him awake. Wide awake.

After cleaning her wound, he lay beside her but didn't dare to touch her.

She was sleeping or that's what he thought. Her face was red and the side of her forehead looked slightly bruised. Her wrists were red too. Her eyelashes were wet, her bottom lip was torn because of her biting and a small amount of dried blood sat on the corner of her lips.

The fear of losing her was increasing per minute. He felt like his mind was about to explode. He was going nuts.

It was far too late to regret it now. No matter what, he shouldn't have branded her like she was a mere thing. On top of that, he doubted her character. It was all messed up.

Her body shifted slightly from one side to another, stirring her awake from the deep slumber. She was lying flat on her stomach. She felt like her chest had been crushed. As she stirred towards her right, a deep hiss escaped her lips. She could feel her whole body burning up.

Her eyes opened wide as the events of last night played inside her mind.

Did he touch you?

You allowed him to touch what's mine? What did I tell you about letting another man touch you? Fia?

Explain to me damnit!

I dare you to complete that fucking sentence, Fianna

You fucking let him touch you and yet you have the fucking audacity to lie to me!

Why the fuck can I smell another man's scent on you?

Why are you smelling like him?

You are nothing but a fucking liar...

I will hurt them, you know that right?

I will show you what a true monster I am

Go and lay flat on your stomach

Go before I drag you like a fucking doll

And you were just like everyone else...

I will show you what a true monster I am.

I will show you what a true monster I am

I will show you what a true monster I am

Hot tears burnt her eyes. Her lips wobbled. She remembered everything. His deep, cruel voice rang in her ears like a snoozed alarm.
