Sonia's point of view... "Out...!" he grunted as irritatingly as he could, his cold voice more like a roar, a ruling that can shiver the one listening.Standing in front of me was the most dangerous man in the world that I have ever heard of, Arjun Thakur.Yet extravagantly handsome and devilishly dangerous at the same time. He was someone who could make your soul shiver in fear with just his gaze. And his presence was like a death wish.His every grunt resembles a lion's roar.His command jolted me, and I was terrified, annoyingly shivering before him. I didn't have any other way. I have to obey him whatever he says no matter what he wants from me or commands me to do. The way I was, I could barely get myself up, my legs were sore and my whole body was like it had just been crashed many times brutally."Get the hell out of here...!" he yelled again and I gasped hurrying, even though I didn't want to be here before that monster. I stumbled towards the room door holding the wall as
Sonia's point of view...How could she do this...!I was more disgusted than surprised.I can't believe my ears not even my eyes, my dear aunt introduced an unappealing man with a pot belly just like a nine-month pregnant woman, presumably to be my groom. I know I can't get anything good from her but not at least this. I deserve better.Holy crab...! How much more could I endure in a single day? It became apparent that my aunt was willing to trade me off to that wealthy yet unattractive cartoon of a man for a sum of money.Why...?After all this, I got to know one thing and that is, if I didn't stand up for myself now, I would be forever tied to him. Just the thought sent shivers down my spine. "What do you mean, Aunty?" I yelled in anger, "Who is this man?" I had long suspected my aunt might pull a stunt like this, but I never expected it to happen so soon.I was left behind by my mom when she died a few years back. My mom's brother Uday and his wife Amrita took me in just becaus
Sonia's point of view...After a miserable sleepless night which was more horrible than a nightmare, I was lying on the rooftop. Seriously...!I was kicked out of my house last night. Well, that's not the complete truth though.I made my way back to my room where I swear not to enter again.Ugh...! But I have to because I have nothing on me, not even a penny in my pocket. To get myself free from this so-called caring house, I had to complete that rubbish job for which I had to get something from my room.I opened the flat door as slowly as possible, luckily it was still dawn, and the hall was empty. My aunt might be still asleep, why won't she be, she had exerted herself yesterday. Bloody *****...!Oops. I shouldn't be using that word. I can't use a bitchy language for my so-called elders but seriously...!If I could I would spend my half-life here scolding and cursing her. What she did to me was surely not something an elder does to the children anyway.I strolled towards my roo
Author's point of view... Arjun Thakur...!That name alone makes the whole country tremble in fear. He was famous for his cruelty. Ruthlessness was like a crown on his head. He was always in the headlines because of his notorious background.Asia's number one devil, and richest businessman, but with a lot of hidden secrets. His name itself has the pride of an uncrowned king of the dark world and his demonic aura can send chilliness throughout the body who hears his name. He has another darkest shade of him, a terrifying mafia don of Asian underworld controlling the whole mafia effortlessly with just his command, in front of whom no one ever dares to speak because he is no less than a living Lucifer, a hell lord.Just twenty-seven years but his demeanor was frigid like an immortal, ruling this mortal world for hundreds of years. Handsome as the Greek lord himself. His eyes were chocolaty brown. Skin fair, though coldness was evident in each of his expressions, his pink lips had a di
Sonia's point of view...Where is this place...!My heart throbbed against my chest when my eyes went wild to find even one thing that could be called familiar but no use. I was taken straight to a forest. There was nothing but trees and darkness around me as far as my sight goes.I prepared myself for the worst but it was terrifying. What will they do? Isn't it just a death? They can only kill me once, right?Though I will suffer a lot, in the end, I will leave this cruel world forever. I thought it was going to be my end. And also the end of my struggles but I never thought that it was just the beginning. "Purani haveli" I read the board in front of me when the car took a turn ahead inside an arch.'old mansion...!' What is this place now?Is this the place rumored for his cruelty? The place where he tortures his offenders.Right in the middle of the forest, there was a mansion, that looked like a haunted one. I felt a frozen breeze chilling my whole body. Goosebumps crept all o
Sonia's point of view... As I ventured into the inky blackness of the night to get a view of what was it, my heart raced with trepidation. The moon casting a feeble crescent in the sky, cast feeble rays that barely pierced the dense shroud of darkness. Suddenly, along with the red eyes, a low growl shattered the eerie silence, sending paralyzing shivers of fear down my spine. Emerging from the obscurity, a huge creature, a colossal black hound, its eyes gleaming like fiery red coals, loomed ominously before me. It lunged on the fence of the balcony.My breath caught in my throat, and an icy sweat broke out on my forehead. Its breath billowed out in ghostly puffs as it drew nearer, an unsettling mix of fear and fascination gripping me as I stood frozen in its spectral presence.As the hound moved closer, the dread in the pit of my stomach intensified. It approached me cautiously, its massive head dipping down to the ground to sniff the air, but its demeanor was oddly non-threatenin
