"Happy Married Life, Shivya Pathak" I weakly smiled seeing my condition, mangalsutra dangling in my neck, vermilion in hair and both hands filled with gold bangles.
"Come out quickly or do you want me to break the gate," my husband knocked again.
My breath was harsh, collecting some courage I spoke, "I will come out but you will not touch me again, otherwise I will kill myself" My throat clogged up, the last word refusing to come out.
He didn't reply, just chuckled. I knew what it meant. He was going to push me further, to break me.
"I will not be your puppet," I said, my voice barely a whisper. "I will not be your toy."

Innocent Heart (completed)
"You stop worrying about your sister and worry about yourself. You have said that today is my marriage but I have made a slight change in it." he said with menacing smirk playing on his face. "What change" she asked as she was not getting good vibes from him. "It is true that today I am getting married but not with Mahi but with you." He stated like it's not a big deal that he swapped the brides. Her eyes widened in shock and disbelief. She stared at him without blinking her eyes. She couldn't bring herself to believe what he just had said. She asked him in her trembling voice "W...What d...did y...you s....say?" He leaned on her face dangerously close "I said that you will marry me today and in the same mandap (pavilion). Before you refuse me, let me tell you that your sister and your family's life is in my hands if you try do something. If you try to refuse marriage or try to tell anyone about this then your sister will be the first person whose life I will smash. It will be better for you not to waste my and your time, wear wedding lehenga quietly and come to the mandap. go and get ready. yes, one more thing you must remember that no one should see your face till we get married so that the marriage can be done smoothly. I don't want any drama before marriage." She was silently listening to him as she was too numb to react. She couldn't even think of marrying a person like him. How could she marry a person whom she couldn't even talk to properly?? "How can I marry you?" his eyebrows raised in anger hearing her question. He took out his phone to call someone and ordered staring deep into her eyes making her heart sink in fear and dread "kill Mahi." She kneeled down joining her hands infront of him and begged him crying historically "Please don't do this". He raised his one eyebrow in questioning manner and asked her "So will you marry me?" She didn't say anything. Seeing Her silent, He told the man again "Kill her." "Yes, I will marry you."Complete
Unexpectedly yours
"Who even told you to put up that entire 'I will save this heroine' stunt?" She added further as he looked into her eyes after clipping his watch on his wrist. "So, you are mad because I married you?" He asked frowning after analysing the entire conversation. "Ding ding ding! Happy realisation." She smiled at him ever so sweetly and clapped at him. Mockingly. Ding ding ding? As in Ninja Hatori? He thought. " What if I prove that 'shaadi with me is not equal to barbadi'?" He asked pushing his hands into his pants pockets. "What do I get?" He asked further, slightly leaning towards her face now looking into her eyes at her eye level. "My whole respect and investment into our future." Without thinking anything she just let it out. Wait.

𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐒 : The Journey Of Reclaiming & Healing!
༺𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 "𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐝" 𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔༻ ༄⬤◉༄ "Verdant, leave me! What am I to you? A possession? An obsession? Leave me right now!" I yelled, trying to knock some sense into him. He slowly brushed a strand of hair behind my ear, making me feel things I didn't want to. His hand grazed my waist, the warmth of his touch brushing against my bare skin, as my top lifted slightly due to the position he held me in. He touched his forehead to mine, closing his eyes as I did, the intimacy of the moment wrapping around us. "You're my first and last love, darling. You're not just the water I need, you're the oxygen I struggle to breathe. You're my best, my worst, my life, my world. You're mine." At the last words, he placed a gentle kiss on my forehead. The soft touch calmed my muscles, but my mind was still a battlefield. Two months before my marriage, Jai used to write poetry, say sweet things, and do all these little romantic dramas. All men are manipulators. I know Vedant isn't, but I can't trust anyone right now. I wanted to push him away. "You really think you can manipulate me with sweet words? You're a manipulator, aren't you? At the end of the day, you're forcing me to choose you. And what's worst about men is that you only think about yourselves. You want me, but what about me? You never prioritise me!"Complete

Prologue " Come here and kiss me.....make love to me", the woman said,in a seductive voice, leaning over the man. " Get away from me", The man said angrily, pushing the woman, making her fall on the floor. " I have never seen such a shameless woman like you. It has been less than three months since your husband had died and here you are busy seducing your husband's brother,like a characterless woman", the man said angrily, looking at her with a disgusted filled voice. The woman looked into his eyes without any expressions. " Don't talk rubbish. He is already dead. And you want me to bury my desires with him. No way, it's never going to happen. Moreover,now I have lost my heart to you", the woman said without any care. " If you weren't the mother of my brother's child,I would have thrown you out of this house. It's the last warning for you, stay within your limits and don't disrespect your late husband who had left his house just to marry you in the past. At least, respect his love towards you", the man said and stormed outside angrily. A tear escaped from the woman's eye. A sob escaped from her lips, which she tried to stop by covering her mouth. She was sitting on the floor, wiping the fresh tears running down her cheeks.Complete
Bound By Vows (Completed) ✔️
#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.
