Love, Obsession & The Darkness In Between

Wild Thoughts

Someone was watching Eshaani with so much focus....

As Viraj approached the door of the room quietly, a tray of food in his hand. He had asked his mother to handle the food to him, so he could see her for himself. As he neared, he caught sight of Eshaani through the slightly opened door.

She was standing near the window, her gaze darting around the room as if searching for an escape. Viraj’s lips curled into a faint, almost amused smile. She looked every bit the frightened princess trapped in his palace.

He slipped into the room from the shadows, the sound of his footsteps deliberately soft. “Done finding a way out, princess?” His voice was smooth and carried a subtle edge, designed to startle.

Eshaani whipped around, her eyes wide with surprise. The man who emerged from the darkness was striking—tall, clean-shaven, and with a face that seemed sculpted from marble. Viraj’s presence was commanding, his intense gaze making her shiver despite the warmth of the room.

She stiffened, her back hitting the wall as she instinctively stepped away from him. He advanced slowly, his movements deliberate, until he stood just inches from her.

Without breaking eye contact, he placed the tray of food on a nearby stand. His gaze remained fixed on her, assessing her with a mix of curiosity and dominance. The air between them seemed to crackle with unspoken tension.

Eshaani's  POV,

My heart raced as I heard a voice cut through the silence, “Done finding a way, princess?” getting froze, my gaze snapping toward the source of the sound. Emerging from the shadows was a man who could have stepped straight out of a romance novel—tall, clean-shaven, with a chiseled, almost god-like face.

The tray of food in his hand seemed to disappear as he advanced toward me. His eyes were piercing, his gaze intense and unyielding. The sheer force of his presence made me take a step back, my back eventually hitting the wall behind her. He closed the distance between us with a confident stride, his eyes locked onto hers.

Without breaking his stare, he placed the food on a stand nearby. His gaze remained fixed on me, a powerful mixture of curiosity and dominance that made my skin prickle. The room felt charged with an almost tangible tension.

“Done finding a way, princess?” he repeated, his voice deep and laced with a dangerous edge.

I struggled to keep my composure,  eyes brimming with unshed tears.  “Y-yes, I mean, I was just looking at the room.” I stammered while saying
“Wow Eshaani, you stammered. Now he'll definitely think that you are fearing from him but the truth is this only”

His expression remained unreadable, and  simply replied, “Ok.”

“Why is he staring at me like this?” Confused and unsettled, I murmured to myself, but my badluck he heard it.....

His dark chuckle broke the silence. “Princess, thank God I’m only staring... otherwise…”

His unfinished sentence hung in the air, leaving a chilling implication. My eyes widened as I tried to decipher the threat hidden behind his gaze. My heart pounded in my chest listening to this.

Viraj’s POV,

The way my princess was looking at me is making me hard to control myself. She is so innocent and naive but my thoughts are definitely not, her innocent eyes and that Fucking dress she is wearing is messing up with my head, her exposed neck and collarbone,and her back is completely exposed and fucking smooth ahhh I wanna mark her right now but I can't. My buddy is getting hard upon looking at her only.  What will happen when she will be under my broad chest, completely naked......Holy shit she will be the cause of my death. " Stop it Viraj, other wise what you will do with her will make her hate you more "

Eshaani's POV,

I had so much thoughts in mind and these thoughts were getting heavy on my mind,
So desperate for answers, I broke the eye contact and asked with a quiver in my voice, “Why did you kidnap me? What do you want?”

He leaned in slightly, his voice smooth and chilling. “To marry you, princess. To make you mine completely.”
