DEVOTED TO HER

30.

AUTHOR'S POV

"wouldn't you like your lover's congratulations on your big day mihi?" she heard his hushed voice, she could feel his lingering touch on her, his piercing black eyes staring right through her soul and she stilled at her place 

Panic surged through her veins as she glanced at the man standing in front of her though she masked her panicked expressions

"what are you doing here?" she managed to ask keeping her voice firm shrugging his hands off her

"that's not how you greet your love mihi" he said placing his hand on the wall behind her trapping her from moving from there while the other grabbed her arm gripping it tightly

"you are not my lover, you never were you liar " she spat out glaring at him trying to get out of his hold

"tsk tsk..he manipulated you well that bast-" he said pushing away strands of her hair from her face

"not a word against my husband or else i'll slit your throat right here" she cut him off rage evident in her voice as she looked at him despising his presence

"aww precious little delicate wifey got hurt when i called her husband what he is..tell me did he told you anything happened on our day of marriage?" he said tracing his thumb on her jaw line

she moved her face away as if his touch burned her skin she didn't even want to look at his face it was covered with several bruises and bandage on the forehead

"what are you talking about saransh" i asked fidgeting my wrist from his hold

she was getting scared she couldn't find vedant firstly, secondly saransh appeared out of nowhere her heartbeat rising by each passing minute

"why did you marry him huh?" he asked cupping her cheek in his palm keeping her face steady in his palm as he looked at her intensely and a shiver ran down her spine.. tears were betraying but she didn't let them fall she wanted to stand out strong she was not weak her husband told her and she believed every bit of it she truly wasn't

"i was coming back to get you to make you mine but.." he stopped as he wiped the drop of tear her face displayed shock before she quickly masked it she knew not to ever trust this man ever again

"they didn't let me mihi" he said caressing her cheek  a vulnerable look flashed over his face

she closed her eyes her breath heavy and she was getting flashbacks of her most haunting memory she wished that somehow she could get any help her strength wasn't that much in front of a well built man she couldn't fight him anymore physically

"don't close your eyes..see how vulnerable he made me i wasn't like this see how you made me" he said grabbing my jaw firmly as he made her look at him

she gave him a look of disgust

"you are a liar, you are a coward" she said angrily her eyes turning red

"leave me before i shout and you wouldn't be able to survive if he came" she said struggling to get out of his hold

"shout as much as you can no one's coming here to save you, you hear the rhythm of this loud music how will someone hear your faint screams, darling?" he said chuckling darkly and her heart sank afraid of losing the last ounce of hope, him
