AUTHOR'S POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CONTENT WARNING - NON CONSENSUAL SEX.Her trembling form was witnessing him chugging down the bitter liquid. She shook by the sound of glass which he slammed on the table after emptying the alcohol.She was cursing herself mentally for doing this stupidity but had she any other option? His fear only made her do this.The sounds of his harsh breathing filled the room, mixing with the pitter patter of rain.It was raining cats and dogs since the evening only. Saanvi was petrified but keeping her mouth shut, was not an option either. She felt humiliated and disgusted when he accused her of something she never did."You wanted his attention, no?"She closed her eyes remembering his venomous words. Arjun gave her a sharp glare and ran his fingers through his already messy hair."Why the fuck are you silent?" He hissed grabbing a fistful of her hair.She glared at him showing her anger towards him."Tigress. Tsk tsk" he chuckled bringing his face closer to her.
AUTHOR'S POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Arjun took a sip of his coffee and closed his eyes feeling the hot liquid cascading down his throat. He sighed in satisfaction as the bitter taste of the coffee instantly reduced his headache.He indeed had a long night, last night.A smirk made it's way to his lips remembering how he claimed his wife.He was regretting his actions in the morning but when he remembered the root cause of it. He didn't feel guilty at all.She was cheating behind his back.Even if she was not then she was hiding things from him.Where did he lack?He did everything to make her happy.He even gave her the permission to work.Though, no woman needs permission from anyone to work. But that's another topic.He trusted her and kept telling himself that she will start feeling for him someday and he was ready to wait till eternity.But what she did? She broke his trust."I bloody trusted you, Saanvi!"He muttered as his jaw hardened.He fisted his hands remembering the smiling face o
AUTHOR'S POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Salty water were flowing from her eyes as she held her office ID.It was of no use for her from now on.Her husband has prohibited her to work as if it is illegal. She smiled bitterly remembering his cruel psychotic words which he sugar coated so easily, this morning."You don't need to work now. I earn enough, wifey. Just stay at home and make delicious dishes for me" he said and placed a kiss on her nape.Tears threatened to fall from her eyes."I....pl-lease, Arjun" she begged looking up at him with teary orbs.She was ready to beg for it even after what he did to her. The only thing which could keep her occupied was her job.His smile faded and he clenched his jaw closing his eyes. She was scared of his next move but she was not ready to let her only source of happiness go. He was snatching her job.He pinched the bridge of his nose and exhaled sharply before opening his eyes.They were calm."Let's not argue over it, hmm?" He asked pulling her close
AUTHOR'S POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CONTENT WARNING - SEXUAL ABUSE.Saanvi was trembling from inside as well. She didn't know what limit he will cross tonight. Her heart beat was rapidly growing each second as she was climbing the stairs.He didn't utter a word during the whole drive but his silence was scarier than his words. She noticed the way his hands were clutching the steering wheel, the veins on his forehead and the shallowness in his eyes.These things were enough to terrify her to the core. Not that she was not scared of him before but now she was feeling scared in a way she never did before. Maybe because she knew what will be the consequences of his anger.She didn't want to suffer that same pain again. The pain was unbearable, incurable and unimaginable. She was finally tired of praying to the almighty. Somewhere, she knew God will never come to save her and that only she is capable of doing so. But she was too weak to protect herself.He was already in the room while she stopp
CONTENT WARNING - PHYSICAL ABUSE.AUTHOR'S POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The light whispers and the touch of a rough yet warm hand on her hair, broke her sleep. Her eyes fluttered as she opened them. Moving her drowsy eyes around the ceiling, she finally settled them on the man sitting beside her with misty eyes.He felt a pang on his chest seeing her tired eyes. The tip of her nose was covered in a deep shade of red. Her chapped lips were parted slightly through which she was breathing a while ago.He smiled sadly knowing very well her habit of breathing through parted mouth during sleep. He has observed her before.So many times."H-hey" he barely whispered.She looked at him blankly before moving the blanket from her body. A yelp left her mouth when she tried to get up."Saanvi" he hurriedly held her back to support her.Adjusting the pillow behind her back, he made her sit properly on the bed.He again settled beside her and observed her face.She was looking broken.He shut his eyes tightl
AUTHOR'S POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The city was drenching in rain.Roads were jammed with vehicles. He watched as people were rushing to get back to their respective homes.Home? Something he never knew existed.That orphan age, where he grew up, was that home? Probably not. He never felt safe there, he never had someone to share his happiness, sadness or any feeling with. He never felt the care one feels at home.The orphan age was merely a shelter for him. A rented room where he spent the eighteen years of his life.A tired sigh escaped his lips as he took a drag of his cigarette letting the smoke burn his chest. That shit hurt the first few times he tried smoking but now he has gotten habituated of it. Habit. One thing which can either destroy a person or build a person. He had so many habits. Bad ones to be precise.Smoking, drinking, cursing, breaking things in anger and the list goes on. A girl came in his life and slowly became his habit. A good kind of habit. A habit which used to br
AUTHOR'S POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~An old man and a young girl behind him shuddered at the shattering noise. Their heads were hanging low while sweat was dripping down their forehead."WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?" Arjun shouted throwing the file on the man's face.He didn't even consider his age before doing this.The man was in his late sixties and was shivering visibly because of obvious reasons. "And you...you will not get your salary for the next two months" the girl gasped with teary eyes at his declaration."Y-you ca-an't do this t-to me. I have worked hard for this project" she cried as her tone got a bit louder.Arjun raised his one eyebrow at her outburst. She dared to raise her voice at him. A mere employee was going against his decision."Really? Then why can't I see the results?" He questioned in a mocking tone.The girl opened her mouth to say something but he beat her to it before she could utter even a word."You are fired, Ms. Whatever you are" he gritted eyeing her with utter di
AUTHOR'S POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Saanvi's fingers were itching to dial that number. She was contemplating whether she should do it or not. Her one decision can change her life either for good or for worse.One thing is sure. She cannot live like this.Is this even a life?What kind of a life is this? An animal lives a better life than her. She wants to tell everything to Isha. Isha has told her to tell her or share with her if anything bothers her.She seemed genuine while saying so.Plus, she is a woman herself. She will understand her, right?Advik is also a nice guy and Saanvi really liked him but will he go against his dear friend just for a mere outsider?Will Isha go against her brother?Saanvi was feeling helpless when these questions raised in her mind. What about her mother?But will she be happy knowing her daughter's condition?Saanvi shut her eyes as angry tears rolled down her cheeks.Papa, you must be feeling ashamed of me.I didn't fight. She thought looking at the sky th
