he was what they feared most, but she saw beyond that. Will she change him for the better or will he remain the same?
All my life I've been told my heart would remain cold and lifeless. I believed them and every word said. No one could love me, I have horns and terrible anger issues. Fumes burst out of me quite literally. I'm a monster. He knew it and I knew it. He threw me down here for reasons I couldn't understand but went with it anyway. I had been lonely for so long and convincing myself I enjoyed it would be an understatement. Deep down I hated it, and often wondered what was so wrong with me? Why didn't anyone love me? Will I ever feel a real heartbeat other than cold lifeless one that lies in my chest? And then I met her. Reyna. The angel from above as everyone seems to say. The night she caressed my horns with such compassion and love. Her touch was gentle and tender. She's seen every vulnerable part of me and it never scared her. Not once. She came down here for someone that all her life was told to fear and hate. "You're not a Monster." She whispered. "Not to me. You're a beautiful broken angel that's all." She gently placed her hands on my horns and our foreheads pressed together. In that moment my heart made its first beat. All because of her. I realized it's possible for someone to love me just as I am to love them.
Wow. Who know a monster like me could be loved. My heart no longer cold and lifeless like it once was, the replacement is warmth and a sentimental feeling of hope. Is that what it feels like? To be loved. To know that there's someone who can give you warmth with a simple glance of happiness. Or small gentle touch on the horns. It amazes me how much I've changed for her. I'm proud to say the least that I'm learning to be more patient and kind. No more rising tempers or harsh words. All thanks to her.
And it all started with a wish.
"She had been his ever since she agreed to marry him, but what will happen when she falls for Reyansh Malhotra ~ a man who doesn't believe in love?"

"He is obsessed with Baani Roy but refuses to love her. Even though, deep down, he is unknowingly falling for her, will he be able to identify his feelings, or will it be too late?"

I hurried toward his study, my heart racing with excitement. The news had left me glowing, and I couldn't wait to share it with him. He'll be so happy, I thought, a smile tugging at my lips.
As I reached the door, I paused, taking a deep breath to steady myself. This is it. He needs to know. With that, I raised my hand to knock, anticipation thrumming through me. But before I could knock I heard his voice from behind the door.
"Shut up Karan, I don't love her." He yelled at his best friend.
" Oh, really then why the fuck did you even marry her."Karan roared
"Because it was a contract dammit, a fucking contract and it will always remain the same."
I stood frozen, the weight of his words crashing down on me like a tidal wave. My chest tightened, and before I could stop it, a single tear slipped from my eye, trailing slowly down my right cheek. I didn't bother wiping it away; the ache in my heart was too overwhelming.
"It was a contract," I reminded myself bitterly.
"How did I forget that? He doesn't love me. He never will."
The thought pierced through me, sharp and unforgiving.
"I was a fool to believe it was anything more than that-a simple arrangement." I said to myself
My hands clenched at my sides as I tried to steady my trembling breaths, but the betrayal I felt refused to loosen its grip.
