Her Dangerous Obsession

Chap 42 - "What's Love without a little Madness?"

Adhrit’s POV

I stood in the hall for some time, and then came back to my room, as I had lost my appetite after so much drama in the morning.

After surviving this much drama in the morning itself, I had no intention of sitting with those worst and toxic people, and have breakfast with them.

The argument, that had happened downstairs the hall some time back, and my conversation with Anaisha were still revolving around in my mind.   

I was currently sitting on the bed, with a pillow in my hands.

At this time, there was a feeling of sadness on my face, because I met my sister, but even after meeting her, I could not talk to her, and that's all happened because of that one and only girl of my life.

The girl, who is the reason behind all the bad things happening in my life these days — the one and only, great Anaisha Mehrotra.

My throat tightened, as I thought about Kriya Di’s face — her worried eyes, the way she tried to give me an assuring smile, despite the humiliation. That single moment of seeing her, so close yet unreachable, tore me apart more than anything else.

Oh God, in what strange moment did I meet Anaisha, and even if I did, what was the need to befriend her, and bring her closer to me?

The memories stung — her fake sweetness in the beginning, the way I trusted her without hesitation, the way I let her in. How could I have been so blind? So idiot?

Leave her, I wanted to talk to Kriya Di, and I also had to ask her about the condition of the rest of the family members as well, but I couldn't even talk to her.

Damn, I don't even have my phone with me, so that I can call anybody.

I glanced at the side table, where once my phone used to rest, in my own room. But this wasn't my room. This room might have been lavish, but it was nothing less than a prison cell.

Does this girl really want to keep me captive in her mansion?? Like, I have no phone, no connections to outer world, I can't even talk to my family members, and when my sister came here, they all tried to insult her and humiliate her, not letting me talk to her even for once.

The helplessness was unbearable. Every breath I took in this house felt borrowed, controlled, chained.

Is this the way I am going to spend the rest of my life? No Adhrit, you have to do something, you can't spend your whole life like this, no way....

But the real question is, what to do, and how to cope up with this situation?

I mean, whether I don't want to say it, but Mehrotras are very powerful, and I am just a middle-class boy, who have nothing... Neither connections, nor money, then how am I supposed to fight the one of the most rich and powerful family of India, and that too without risking my family's well-being.

The more I thought, the more suffocated I felt. I wanted to scream, to smash something, to break free. But what would it change? The walls of this mansion would still stand tall, mocking me.

Oh God, only I know, that how much frustrated I am feeling since the moment, I got to know about her reality...

Wait, even then everything was fine... I was just heartbroken, and maybe I would have got better in sometime as well, but why the hell did she need to come back in my life, and that too with the intention of marrying me??

Her words that day echoed in my mind — her voice filled with authority, her decision already made, as if my life was nothing, but a pawn in her game.

Oh God, what kind of enmity has fate grown towards me, that it is presenting such situations one after the other in front of me?
