VILLAIN'S VEIL ✔️ by Mys_Sakshi

Perhaps fate which bring about disaster for an innocent girl who yearns for love from one and only love of her life Jas Nadig. Whether she will get it or not, still depends on fate written by a stranger for her. 🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸 He entwine his fingers with mine...... He looked at me like he just won a trophee. Moving towards my lips he whispered,"Now you're prepared my love." 🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸 I was so into the thoughts pervaded in my mind that I didn't see him standing next to the door. He was observing me. I looked at him and in no time I tried to cover myself with the sheet. His eyes trailed down towards the thigh. Wound was dressed perfectly. "How are you?" "Thanks to you I just escaped from a narrow path of being raped." Mature/violent scenes are present. #Mystery/Thriller
