Irrespective of what the characters involved want, some stories are just meant to be! This is such a story, from times long gone. 

Vayu Pratap Singh, the young king of Sudhagadh, unexpectedly crosses paths with Harinakshi, the girl with a mysterious past and an uncertain future. What starts as a mild flirtation for him and a most unwelcome encounter for her, ends up blowing into a raging fire which lights up their eyes and hearts, and fuses their souls for an eternity.

This story can be read as a stand alone or as a prequel to my already published novel 'The Folly of Love'. It is a past-life story of the Sameer and Naina from 'The Folly of Love'.

Please note all the characters, places and situations in this story are a work of fiction and any resemblance to reality is only incidental.

'I cried that night.....so much that it numbed me to my core' Padmini sobbed hard. Her life came crashing down at her when she found that her husband had a mistress....... " Gulbahar" this name signified the woman he loves......just like her name was she....the epitome of beauty and grace. 'Iam no match for her ...' thought she as she smiled bitterly and as her tears rolled down her face. Will that was correct for her to be assured of her inferiority as she truly was far more inferior to that beauty who could wield swords while being able to recite poems that could elate the heart nor could she give her husband political incites that could make his job easier.........for all she could do was stay at home and take care of his child ....... But so what? Can her maternal love compensate for the lack of love from her husband? Can her maternal love for her child make up for the feeling of standing alone in the world with no support...but whatever may be the case A Mother is the strongest being on the planet. This thought alone led her enough strength to live on...... but then Then God decided that her husband having a mistress was not enough of a blow to her and hence he took away the light of her life ....her only child. That night she held her child's corpse in her arms but not one tear came out of her eye. It seemed as though she had not only lost her child she lost her life. That mistress of his came to her, she supported her, she said no word of consolation nor any word of sorry, she only supported her. He came too. The horror in his eyes when he looked at his baby and then at his wife was so vivid. She saw it but said nothing. All she did was stare at her baby. As her baby received his funeral, she set herself on fire...well she was already dead inside why not set this mortal frame free? But then occurred a miracle. A miracle then set a storm of vengeance in motion.

I chanted the words as a reminder, till they reached the deep part of my heart. "STOP." Her faint voice full of desperation trailed after me until I ran away from her, just like she did, 4 years ago. But instead of satisfaction, all I am feeling is pain. Why the hell I can't leave her, just like she did? WHY? She loves to lurk behind shadows. He is the connoisseur of the heed. AADIT PRATAP SINGH I should fantasise about the black silky hair wrapped around my fist while my cock thrust inside the girl I am getting married to but all I can think about are the wild curls spread on my sheets as I praise the little hellion who stole my sanity four years back. My wife. Or I would say, my runaway bride. I never get to see how beautiful she is, all I remember is her wild curls running to her waist. Maybe she was not real. But if she is, she better stay hidden because once I find her, there is no going back. She will pay for her mistakes and beg me to take and leave her at the same time. Keep running Amour and wish I never catch you. ANAYA is a surprise. And AADIT PRATAP SINGH hates surprises. "Sparks will rekindle, Distance will dwindle.

Vikram's voice was low, his grip on her waist tightening almost possessively. Parwati's breath caught in her throat as she attempted to explain, "You're getting married, and..." "And you're in love with Gaurav, or is it Ajay?" Vikram's words were sharp, his hold on her becoming even more constricting. SYNOPSIS : In the realm of Paudhagarh, Queen Parwati Verma finds herself trapped in an abusive marriage, devoid of love. However, her world is turned upside down when her kingdom falls into the hands of the ruthless King, Vikram Singh Rathore of Rajputhana.

The prospect of becoming an Empress seemed blissful, yet the reality proved to be more cursed than she could have imagined. Every day, Nayantara's whispered prayers reached the heavens: 'Would it not have been better had I embraced death's embrace? In my absence, the world might have found a better existence.' " रोज भगवान से यह ही प्राथना है, मर जाते तो अच्छा होता, हम ना होते पर जहा तो होता।" Born an orphaned princess, Nayantara's marriage to the Crown Prince of Magadh held her last shred of hope. Little did she know that the threads of their relationship would be woven with deceit, shrouded in secrets, and obscured by shadows. As Nayantara's heart aches from the heartbreak inflicted by her husband's deception, she faces a daunting choice: Can she find it within herself to forgive him and mend the shattered pieces of their bond? In the midst of this turmoil, one question lingers: Can Nayantara defy her destiny, or must she learn to embrace the unexpected path that fate has woven?" The much destined to be an Empress sounds blissful the more cursed it actually is.
