A Broken Soul

"Who says a body can't live without a soul? Look at me. My body is just a machine... functioning, breathing, but empty. Just a living proof that you can be dead while you are still alive."

Devika Raichand was once a girl whose laughter could light up a room. But one tragic night took everything away,her parents and her 2 year old brother, leaving her alone in a world that didn't want her. A girl who thinks she doesn't deserve love, happiness.

Now, she lives in a house of shadows with her Chacha and Chachi. They were supposed to be her second parents, but instead, they became her tormentors. To them, she is not a niece; she is an unwanted debt.

"You are nothing but a mistake!" Her Chachi's voice rings out, followed by a cold strike of a rod.

"A mistake is nothing compared to the curse she brought upon this family," her Chacha spits, his eyes full of hate.

After years of being broken and bruised, Devika has stopped crying. She has stopped praying for help. Now, she only prays for her end, her death. But her Chacha and Chachi have one last plan for her-a forced marriage to a man she doesn't know.
