Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 27. Dead End
RAAHI"I have a question, Raahi," Saksham muttered.I looked at him."Yes?" I questioned."Why didn't you tell your parents everything regarding Aarhaan? Why did you suffer so much?" He questioned.I chuckled."Well, perks of having conservative and strict parents. They trust other people much more than their daughter," I joked.Well, my parents were equally the culprit of the pain I had gone through. And maybe that's why I can never forgive them in future. If I can survive without Aarhaan, I can survive without my parents."Are you joking?" Saksham asked, looking at me."Am I at a stage to make jokes?" I retorted, looking at him."Nah. I'm sorry," he moved back.I quickly finished the last few morsels on my plate and stood up."What happened?" He asked."I'm done with my lunch. I should probably get back to work," I passed on a fake smile."Okay," he nodded.I walked inside the kitchen of the restaurant with my food plate. The past few days were a bit tough, but I could say that it w
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 28. The Wedding
FLASHBACKRAAHII could say that I was living a nightmare. My parents had decided that I will be marrying Aarhaan and I had no say in it.And after that, the preparations for the wedding began. The very next day, my parents met with Arhaan's parents and finalized the date for the wedding which was after two months. Along with that, Arhaan's father demanded a hefty dowry of ten lacs, saying that he had done a lot so that he could marry me and that's the least my parents can do for him. Arhaan didn't interfere in those talks, and even though my parents thought for a while because that much money wasn't something that they had, but even after that, they happily agreed to the dowry.And when everything was finalized, the realisation seeped into me that my life will be forever miserable. I would be lying if I didn't try a couple of things to escape this wedding. I knew I was living off my parents so there was no way I could survive without them, so the only thought of not surviving came

RAAHIFLASHBACKI was sitting in the car that was moving towards my hell and I wasn't in a state to say a word. I just remained quiet throughout the entire drive.And then, finally, the car stopped in front of a gigantic bungalow. I don't know why I felt the urge to look out from the window and that's what I did. The moment I looked out, I was surprised. The bungalow was huge and it was decorated beautifully with lights and flowers. The moment I looked around, my heart started thumping rapidly and I didn't know how to react."This is my dad's house. Your in-law's home. We will be staying here for a week and after that, we will be moving to our own house," Arhaan announced.I looked at him and gave him a nod with an uncomfortable smile. And then, someone got the door for us, as the door was opened, I got out of the car and so did Arhaan. After that, he had held my hand tightly. I gulped and then we entered the house.As I stepped inside the house, a middle-aged woman was there, to wel
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 30. Dodging Him
FLASHBACKRAAHII heard the door closing behind him, and at that time, I clutched the bed sheets tightly and closed my eyes. I didn't even want to see him at any cost.No. I couldn't let myself submit to him. I had to protect myself even though there was no point in protecting anymore. I had to do something at any cost.I continued to brainstorm ideas when he sat beside me."I'm the happiest today," he slurred.He has been drinking? Oh shit! What do I do now?All of a sudden, the fear in me increased exponentially and I stayed there clueless."Are... Are you drunk?" I stammered."Yeah! Just... Just a bit as I wanted to celebrate my happiness," he slurred.I gulped. This wasn't the wedding night I had expected."Come now. I want to make love to you now. I want to fuck you in so many ways that you would never be able to imagine."His words made me feel disgusted. I was about to get out of the bed when he held my hand and pulled me near him."Hey? Where are you going? You will have to as
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 31. She Found A Mother
RAAHIFLASHBACKEven though I had my doubts, I don't know why but I felt like doing whatever Maa said.I started preparations for cooking. I made the pudding and knowingly spoiled it. And then, at the breakfast table, I waited for Arhaan and his father to taste the pudding.The moment they took a bite, they spit that pudding out immediately."What the hell is this?" Arhaan's father shouted."Who the heck puts salt in the pudding?" Arhaan roared, looking at me angrily.I gulped and looked for Maa who was standing there silent. Tears found their way to my eyes and I wondered if it was Maa's ploy to make me suffer more or what?"Arhaan! This girl doesn't even know how to cook. Haven't her parents taught her anything?" His father scoffed as he gave me a disgusting look."I had no idea about this dad. I thought she sat at home for two years, she should have learnt cooking," Arhaan's tone was equally frustrated."You will be leaving for your home next week. How will you eat? She doesn't kno
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 32. A Condition
FLASHBACKRAAHII have had spent the most beautiful days of my life with Maa. She taught me a lot, and we did have a lot of fun. She was like my friend, who would listen to my endless gossips and chattering. In the disguise of teaching me to do household chores, we spent our happy times together.Within two months, Maa was my best friend and much more closer to me than my own mother. She understood me in a way that my mother couldn't even bother. She cared for me, she loved me and above that, she respected me and my thinking.Maa and I had one thing in common. Our pain. Our pain of being tortured by our respective husbands. Arhaan's father used to torture her almost daily. A couple of days, I have found myself hearing Maa's screams and crying to sleep. Fresh bruises on her body and a couple of horrific moments. And the fear that Arhaan is much worse of a monster than his father scared the shit out of me.Respect. That's a small word, but that's what I crave the most. I crave a bit of
Psychopath's Wife (The Escaped Wife) 33. Madness
ARHAANFLASHBACKI was infuriated for a second when Raahi had such atrocious demand for me. I wanted to slap the shit out of her at that time but I refrained myself as I remembered something. I had a conversation with my dad yesterday and it stopped me from doing anything to her."Before you start off your married life with Raahi. I do have something to tell you, Arhaan," dad spoke."What's that?" I asked him."Your mom isn't my first wife," he admitted."What?" I was shocked. How could that be possible?"Yes. I had a wife before your mom," he spoke.I was entirely shaken. I didn't know what to say or what to do. For a minute, I was num. But then, where is she?"What happened to her?" I questioned."She is no more," dad gasped.I was even more surprised."She committed suicide," he replied."What?" It was a shocker."Yes. She couldn't bear the ways I treated her, and out of pain, she committed suicide. She was such a weak woman," he groaned."Oh!" I nodded.The moment was uncomfortab

FLASHBACKRAAHIThe moment Aarhaan agreed to that condition, I was surprised, but then, I realised that I had to live with that now.I had to understand that now my life would be like this and as my parents told me, I had to accept it, but I couldn't. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't accept this as my life.But still, having no other way, I had to do that. And then, my life became monotonous. I had to wake up early in the morning, prepare for breakfast and lunch and wait for Arhaan to leave for the office. When he left for the office, I had to go on with the household chores like cleaning and laundry. I had to wash his dirty clothes and everything and then prepare dinner. He would return home, have his dinner and we would go to sleep. I didn't argue with him and tried my best to do everything that he says so that he doesn't get angry, and ended up doing something that I never want him to do.But leaving Alcohol and Cigarettes was something really tough for him. He used to remain
