There is a kind of silence that comes just before thunder-heavy, suffocating. That was the silence in Sahastra Tripathi's heart.
He had walked away from privilege and power-for love. For Sparshika. But she wasn't Sparshika. She was Urvi. And everything he had abandoned was now burning behind him.
"What happened, Urvi? Did you forget your name or think I was a fool?"
"I... I was going to tell you-"
Two strides.
He grabbed her hair.
CRACK!
Her head slammed into the kitchen counter. Plates shattered.
She cried out, collapsing, blood gushing from her forehead.
"Sahastra ji!" she whimpered.
He yanked her back up.
SLAP! Her cheek snapped sideways. She fell again, lip split open.
"Please don't hit me..."
He pressed his shoe on her cheek, grinding it into the marble.
"You lied to me. Your name, your past-everything was a lie."
"No... I love you!"
He crouched, grabbed her face. His eyes burned.
"My father was on the brink of death... because of you."
She blinked, stunned. "What?"
"Still pretending?"
SLAP! She hit the floor again.
"I really don't know..."
He didn't let her finish. He lifted her, threw her over his shoulder, stormed into the bedroom and threw her onto the bed.
His belt came off.
He tied her wrists to the bedposts-tight, ruthless.
He crouched again, jaw clenched. "Because of you, my father is in this condition."
"You gave away his location, didn't you?"
"But too bad... he survived."
"But now he can't walk. And neither will you."
He grabbed her foot-twisted.
CRACK!
She screamed.
He smiled darkly.
"Don't stop screaming. Your pain soothes me."
He grabbed her other foot.
Twisted-slow, calculated.
Stopped just before the break. "I could break it... but not yet."
"I'll break you. And your legs. Slowly."
He stood, breath ragged. Eyes hollow.
"Just like my father can't walk... you never will."
He turned, slammed the door.
Urvi lay tied, broken, bleeding.
She could no longer tell what hurt more-her body, or her heart.
"Lea... leave me" I stuttered taking a step back.
"How can I leave you?" he said coming closer to me.
"You li..lied to me," I said continued taking a step back. Fearing this man who was standing in front of me.
"Amna.. love, don't do this... Come here" he said softly. But I shook my head.
"You are a monster" I whisper and hit my back with the wall. He stood in front of me.
"I'm your husband," he said as matter of fact.
"Your not the one whom I loved and married," I said and put my hands on his chest to make some distance.
"We should talk about this in the morning.." He paused and wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer to him. "Now shall we continue what we started before I had to leave," he said with a smirk. Coming closer to my face.
"Don't touch me" I hissed and he held me tightly.
"Today our wedding night love, and you have no idea how much I longed for this day.. so no one can stop me now," he said and crashed his lips on me.
I can't believe I love this man. No! I didn't love this man. I love my Armaan. Who was a kind and loving caring person. But this man was a cruel heartless man. And I hate him.
He moved back and look at me angrily.
"My love.. you have to respond," he said angrily. Unzipping my dress.
