Chapter- The darkness close in

Some nights were treacherous, sleeping under the blanket of darkness that suffocates. Like the darkness of the night he too brought darkness in her life, draining the light from her life, leaving no space to breathe . She sought love but he inflicted only bruises and scars . Just like a blood sucking leech he had sucked every essence of her being .

As their connection grew deeper she could read in his eyes that there was no romanticism like a lover's caress in his touch or words , but the primal fire of passion flame only , only a carnivorous desire to consume. Now nothing was left within her . Like a neglected bed stripped of its warmth , leaving unwanted unless it was needed again .

Each time he came, extracted the last sip of energy from her soul, filling her with melancholy , his evil smell clinging to her skin and her heart drowning in a well of malevolence.

She stood before the mirror , her gaze locked on the reflection staring back . A fierce determination coursed through her veins, fuelling the burning intensity in her eyes. Every ounce of wound screamed in her body for revenge .

Everybody saw her beautiful smile but no one noticed a grawl embedded inside of her . Her eyes were stunning enough to raise the heartbeat of any young man, but none noticed the tear clogged beneath of it. Her heart bled with hatred and agony, weary from the weight of silence.

She had endured enough, listened enough, pleased enough, now no longer she would be a puppet , bound by strings of others . She too wanted to live her life as she wanted. No more drama and no more pain. She would finish everything by tonight only tonight. Her eyes narrowed, the frown in her forehead deepened as she focused on the bottle of poison clutched in her hand , a venomous smile dancing across her lips .

***********

The room was shrouded in an eire blue haze, dimmers switch casting an unsettling glow . A profound silence filled every nook and corner of the space , shrill only in the whimpering of a man who was squirming on the bed. His face was shining with beads of perspiration .

He was writhing in agony, wondering what exactly did this woman want to do with him? His mind was foggy and disjointed .

His throat aflame from relentless coughing . He cursed his star, this vacation had morphed into an illness of nightmare .

By midnight he had a severe runny nose and cough , slight headache and breathing difficulties but the symptoms seemed manageable at that moment . His asthma , triggered by sudden changing weather. He didn't particularly care, thinking that by taking a couple of medicines that would get him quickly relieved by morning.

But as time passed, his condition worsened. A searing pain coiled in his abdomen. Nausea gripped him, vomiting and diarrhoea draining what little strength he had . His eyes shrunk due to dehydration, leaving him weak and dizzy. His fever burned hot, leaving him delirious.

Desperate, he reached for his phone. His fingers trembled as he unlocked it, but the screen taunted him by displaying No service. The Storm had knocked out the network, leaving him isolated in this remote Lonavala Villa.

He pleaded with the girl he had come to this vacation, at least call for a doctor, but she replied that the doctor was out of town until two days later .

Fatigue and lethargy clung to him like a wet cloth. His eyelids fluttered shut.

As the time ticked by , his body was struggling hard to breathe, as if an invisible weight crushed his chest . His limbs tingle, starved of oxygen .

The alcohol he had consumed only made his condition worse. He hadn't eaten in since the afternoon - just sips of water and repeated trips to the toilets.

Now , lifting his head felt like dragging a boulder up a hill . Two days of living away from his home turned into a terrible struggle for survival.

But right this suffocation and sense of his heart was drumming against his chest wall . He thought if he didn't see a doctor soon, his life would be in jeopardy.

Suddenly, a presence.

He felt someone's presence nearby him . A hand grasping his trembling wrists His arms were wrenched above his head and bound to the bed frame. His legs, too, were restrained , something tightened around his ankles . His pants – yanked down .

He forced his heavy eyelids to open, to see the figure looming over, presuming it might be the girl with whom he came here.

The person's face was shrouded in the eerie cast of blue light , making it impossible to discern any features

A cold wave of dread coursed through his body .

A crushing weight pinned him down . A calculated movement made him realise that something pressed against his vulnerable flesh. His muscles tensed in horror , but he was too weak to resist.

A jolt of arousal shot through his hardness.

His breath hitched. His throat constricted , his lungs burning with an unbearable fire.

Tears welled in his eyes - not just from the searing pain , but from the overwhelming terror. He opened his mouth to scream , to beg - but his mouth was gagged with a cloth, swallowing every please before it could reach the air.
