The Eternal Bond: A Saga of Love and Passion

Chapter-28

Shivantika's pov~

Gift boxes. 

That was what covered half of my office room

It's been almost a month since the day I started recieving these boxes and since then I receive a gift box every day with a bouquet of black roses. 

Sounds romantic? Well it would have been so, if I would have received these things from Dhruv, but it was not Dhruv it was someone else, someone whom I know very well yet I am pretending I don't. Why? Because I don't want my past to repeat, those horrific nights filled with nighmares and my tears are something I would never want to encounter again.

I didn't open any of the boxes, not even one but that was until yesterday when my curiosity got the best of me.....making me open those boxes one by one and what I saw inside was enough to make me cry  my guts out. Inside of those boxes were letters written with red ink with someone's initials at the end. Beside the letter was a small envelope inside which were my pictures....pictures of what I did, what I wore, where I went in the last one month. Someone was stalking me from a month and I didn't even notice.

Coming to the present day I held the gift box that was sent today, opening the box I took out the letter and started to read it 

"Hello love,

I miss you so much, fuck I just want to feel your warmth, but don't worry very soon you will be with me, all mine, just few more days love"

Yours,

K.B"

This is what he writes in every fucking letter, that he will make me his, I don't know why but I am not getting a good feeling about all these.....firstly Karan's arrival at the Malhotra mansion and now these letters.

My thoughts were broken with a wierd smell, I knew this smell but I wasn't able to figure it out, above all I wasn't able to find the source of that smell.

Suddenly my eyes fell on the letter....taking it with shaky hands I brought it near my nose to smell it.

Blood 

The letter smelled like blood, however the letter dropped from my hands immediately when sudden realisation hit me like a tons of brick, making shivers run down my spine.

The thing that I was thinking to be red ink was nothing but blood, that means the letters were written by someone's blood, I didn't get any smell yesterday as all those letters were old ones however the one I recieved today was written with fresh blood, which has slowly began to dry up.

Not being able to handle these things anymore I ran out of my office, without bothering to pick up the letter, informing Trisha to cancel all my meetings for a week... I quickly called driver uncle to bring the car as I wanted to go home and lock myself up.

Author's POV~

Upon reaching Malhotra mansion Shivantika didn't waste another second and started moving towards her and Dhruv's room.

However she was stopped by Avantika (Dhruv's mother)

"Arey Shivantika beta, tum toh aaj jaldi aa gayi, accha hain aram kar jake thoda waise bhi indino thik se khana peena hi chor diya hain tune, bas kaam kaam kaam, din ba din Dhruv jaisi hoti jaa rahi ho" said Avantika while cupping Shivantika's cheeks making Shivantika smile a bit.

(Shivantika dear you came early today, it's good actually go and rest a bit you don't even eat properly nowadays because of work, you are becoming just like Dhruv day by day )
