CHAPTER 1: The Sufferer
Anika's POV
He was holding my wrists. Not merely holding them, he was literally piercing his fingers into my soft skin. Was he angry? Furious? Enraged? Did he have the right to throw his anger on me? Forget about throwing, did he even have the right to be furious in the first place?
I was the victim. The sufferer. Their scapegoat. I have been used by everyone throughtout my life, so much that I only breathe today not live. But, this was something unexpected. My vision was blurred by my tears.
Sub-consciously, I was moving towards a jet black Mercedes which cruised down the freeway, travelling South. We did not utter a word. I was feeling haunted as the car drove through mysterious asphalt strips with spindle trees on either sides until we finally reached our destination The OB Mansion.
The mansion loomed proudly behind creaky iron gates. It stood in the middle of a huge piece of land. It was like a country of its own. Rows of trees on either side swayed to the chilly winds blowing. I couldn't imagine how far I was from the city.
We got down from the respective sides of the vehicle. Once again he came to my face. He had calmed down a bit after the hour long ride.
Shivay: You must be knowing right what to do next. You are "very, very experienced Miss Anika. Oops, I beg your pardon, Mrs Anika Shivay Singh.
Once again tears welled up my eyes and before I could retort. He grabbed by hands and dragged me through the stone path towards the mansion.
He kicked open the main entrance and dragged me through the stairs straight towards his bedroom. Once inside, he bolted the doors and took heavy steps towards me. To say the least, I was petrified. In all these months, I had never ever seen or I had imagined that the Shivay who appeared to be so calm and pacific outside was such a beast in real.
Each step he took towards me, I took way from him until there was no way I could move. He pinned me to the wall, caged by his arms. He took deep breaths, hot deep breaths which was literally burning my skin. My heart was wailing inside but I could only manage to sob in his presence. I was so scared. After what seemed like ages, he finally spoke.
Shivay: You will stay here, in this mansion till I find Tia, not as my wife but as my servant. If you ever utter a word about this marriage to anyone, you know very well the loving people you will loose as a result. Now, you will have to pay for what you have done.
He completed smashing the wall beside me. I managed to nod in a yes and he pointed his fingers towards the door where a servant was standing with my bags.
Silently, I moved towards the outhouse where the servants of the mansion lived. The man instructed me to take rest as of now and the remaining instructions pertaining to work will be given by their head servant tomorrow.
Author's POV
"Find her, no matter what!, he barked. He threw his phone on the floor breaking it into pieces and walked up to the window from where he could see Anika crying inside her room.
"You are the reason, I have failed today. The damage is done, Anika. Things will be worst now. Wait and Watch!", he pulled the curtains slowly as her weeping figure disappeared from his sight.
