Wounded Heart ✔ by Ruhi_93
57 parts Complete
She loved him with a devotion deeper than breath itself. He was her heartbeat, her soul's anchor. But he belonged to someone else. "He is my breath, and I will forget him when I forget to breathe." Her memories were hers alone-precious, untouchable, unshared. Even if the world told her to forget, she clung to the fragments of a love that was never hers to keep. Until fate bound her to the same man whose heart had long been buried with another. "I married you to fulfil my Aashi's last wish. You will never belong here." His cruelty was a shield for his grief. Her silence was armor for her pain. Yet somewhere between bitterness and heartbreak, something unexpected sparked-something fragile, something forbidden. But when apologies come too late and confessions fall on a heart turned to stone, love risks becoming nothing more than ashes. She walks away, her love long faded. He stands shattered, vowing to fight for her, to heal her, to burn himself if it means rekindling the fire in her heart. Even if it destroys him.

"Kill me... not her." His voice was low, deadly calm, but his eyes-bloodshot, burning-never left mine. Eyes that should have hated me. Eyes that should have turned away after my betrayal. But no... even now, he chose me. And that was the worst punishment of all. Ten guns pointed at us. Ten traitors... just like me. And in the middle of it-Devraj. My Devraj. Bhai will come. He will save him. He has to. But only if I don't live to ruin him again. So I stepped back. Once. Twice. The edge welcomed me with open arms. "Don't-" his voice cracked, just once. Just enough to shatter me. And I let go. The world blurred. The screams behind me blurred into nothing. My shame, my fear, my hurt drowned with the wind as I fell. It was easier this way-easier than living with the weight of my own betrayal. But my heart-damn my stubborn heart-refused to stop beating. Because it wasn't ready to leave him. Not yet.
