Have you ever regretted a decision you made in the past?

It's been four years and Jay is still not over what happened in the past.

He knows that he messed up and as a result, He lost the two most precious people in his life.

So after all these time, He is coming back to where it all started, Or ended...But this time, He is determined to get both of them back, No matter what.

But the time has changed and Is it really possible?


****BLURB****


"Are you single?" Jay looked at me.

The whole table was silent and I was frozen in my spot.

"Of course not!" Aryan said rather 'warmly'. "She's already taken, Jay."

"You...you are together?" Jay asked again, disbelief clear in his eyes and Aryan brought our intertwined hands up.

"Not just together, we are engaged," he laughed and turned to me. "She's mine."

And I knew suddenly...

I knew why Aryan took the pain to find me after all this time, why he had to doll me up today and take me to the get together.

It's not me he's targeting! It's Jay!

"Let's start then," Amit said quickly, Trying to dissolve the tension around and everyone nodded. But Jay was still staring at us, his eyes noted the ring; the fake engagement ring on my hand.

"How long have you been together?"

Aryan's smile slipped for a moment.

"One year," he said and Jay raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"I never saw you taking her to any of your gatherings," he said again.

"She wanted to keep it low and I didn't want to pressure her," Aryan said firmly. "But why do I feel like you are interrogating me, Jay? Don't tell me that you have unresolved feelings towards my girl?"

I spilt the drink over as it came as a shock and the table went quiet again.

"Ooh, that's right, you never had any feelings for her to begin with, It was all a joke" Aryan said again and it was like someone had cut the lifeline out of me.

I was in pain.

I realised another thing that night;

I am still not over it...It's still paining me too much...

This story is about a relationships between a father and daughter. A wife and husband. And 2 best friend. "G-g-go" I stuttered moving back a little from his intense gaze on my whole body. I suddenly felt insecure and nervous seeing his fixed eyes on me. He looked scary. Not hearing an answer from him I started, "I-I'll s-sleep on the couch." There was no way I was going to share the same room as him after what he just did. I released a breath which I held in for god knows how long. Making a move to stand up from the bed, I was walking towards the couch only to jerk back on the bed from his strong pull. His hands were gripping on my wrists making me wince in pain. I tried to get out of his hold but couldn't, he was way too strong for me. Leaning closer to me I tried to move back only to fall on the bed. Seeing my state he took advantage of me by hovering over me, locking my small frame between his hands. An evil smirk played on his lips making me stiffen in fear. His eyes travelled down my body, intentionally I flinched. "Today's our wedding night Jaanvi." Came his husky voice before he nuzzled his face in my neck again. "I'm your husband." He bit my neck making a gasp escape from my mouth in pain. "K-k-kiaan. P-ple--" I begged hold in my tears only to reactive another bit from him. His hold on both my wrist was tight, there was no way I could run. The little respect I had for him died right there. "I'm your prince charming Jaanvi. Don't push this prince away." My eyes widened with tears running from the side of my eyes. My hands which were trying to get out of his hold were numb now. My mouth was opened in shock, his words freaked me out. How will two different souls become one? Follow the journey of two funny, crazy, loving and idiot souls, Jaanvi and Kiaan. From hating each other to falling in love deeply.

#Mature Content in later chapters# A sharp pull by my wrist brought me back to the wall. I hold my breath for a moment. "what the hell" I cussed. "Shh, baby girl" he exclaimed. I cringed with the endearment he used. He brought his face near to my face. His breath is fanning all over my lips. It raised my heartbeat to a different level. It must be heard by him also. His smirked face saying it all. His eyes are gazing over my lips and he started closing the small gap we have between our lips to be mingled into one. Sensing his intentions I closed my eyes & moved my face to the left. He stopped right away & increase the gap between us which I really appreciate but the hold of his hand on my wrist is very tight. It started paining me slowly. "Now listen to me very carefully, we might be lawfully wedded husband & wife. But you are nothing to me. I have only married you because of my doll" he said rudely to me. I forcefully release my hand from his hulk like grip which resulted into breaking my bangles & a piece of glass cut into my hand. It hurt me like hell. There must be a big cut in my hand. Ignoring the pain in my hand. I showed my other hand finger towards him and said "even I was not interested in this marriage. I am kind of forced into this" Which I am not, my subconscious mocked me. But I wont give him that satisfaction. Although I was not forced but I had no other option than to accept this marriage. ______________________ To know more do read "Bound by Vows"😉 WARNING- This is the first draft and you will find mistakes but i will correct them when i get the time to edit it. ##I have removed the story from here and moved to another platform.
