"I thought you were my person. I thought you were my true love. I opened my heart for you"
She didn't want to cry. She didn't want to look weak before him.
"Dharani..."
"But you showed me. You proved me right. My heart is safer with me. It's safer in this wall of mine. And I thank you for that." She meant every word. Every single syllable.
"I'm sorry."
She heard the remorse in his voice. But a smile curved into her lips. Letting out a deep breath, she look into the dark chocolate eyes. How much they resembled a Devil's food cake.
"No, I thank you." Her smile grew wider, the weight in her heart decreased. "Thank you so much, Ansh."
She could have sworn that she saw tears well up in his tears.
And it became clear to her. She would always love him. At least the beat organ in her chest will always belong to him.
But she couldn't forgive him for all the pain he caused her.
Not yet.

Shattered Love - Punarbharosa
"Mr. Raichand..." she whispered, her voice trembling. "Aditya..." he murmured, eyes burning into hers. "Say it." He pulls her close in a spin, her hair whips against his jaw, making him smirk as he tightens his hold on her waist. His palm slides slowly from the curve of her back to the side of her thigh as he guides her movements, making her shiver but forcing herself to stay composed. She swallowed, lifting her chin, meeting his gaze. Something shifted. They were no longer husband and wife bound by arrangement, but two souls locked in a storm. "Aditya.." Aaradhya whispered, her voice seductive. Aditya inhaled a sharp breath his hold tightning on her. Their steps grew sharper. Her leg hooked around his thigh in a daring cross, her slit revealing flashes of skin that made his jaw clench. His hand gripped her back, dangerously low, daring her to protest. Every turn, every press, every snap of their heels told a story anger, desire, unspoken hunger. The music built to its peak. Aditya spun Aaradhya one last time, then caught her in a deep, breathtaking dip. Her hair brushed the marble floor, her lips inches from his. The crowd erupted in applause, but they didn't hear it. Aditya pulled her upright, holding her tight, chest to chest. His lips hovered by her ear. "Mrs. Aditya Raichand," he whispered. "An arranged marriage. Two broken souls. One uncertain future." 👨⚖️Aditya Raichand - Once the heart of every room, a boy full of life, laughter, and love. Now? Cold. Distant. Ruthless. A man who buries kindness beneath layers of silence.
