Mayuree's POV
Days gone by........after our epic date,
no news came from him!
None!
Nothing!
Na-da!
But there is this weird sinking feeling in my stomach.....i couldn’t put in word,
it feels like, like.....
the calm before the storm ?
though I still don't think i said something that i shouldn’t have
And that's what you said for at least thousand time until now, Mayur! and even you don't believe it
FLASHBACK
In a Dungeon!
two men dragged 12 years old Mayuree and threw her in a cell next to Zahin's, Kol's and Natalie's.
all of them were tied by hands over head ,hanging from the ceiling via pullies. Bruised, battered, barely conscious of their surrounding after endless beating and torture.
She saw them with wide eyes and open mouth,.....called for them, but no answer came, not even a single sound. Even those men did not say a word, just proceeded to tie her up without giving a flying f**k about her crying or pleas. She would have tried to resist
Why!
because, every captive were to do everything they were told or there will be punishments....no room for mistakes, no room for imperfections.
because, she knew they could do worst..much much worst then whatever they were about to do to her. Fear coiled around her stomach tightly when they raised both her arms over her head and slipped a pair of leather cuffs on her wrists. She tried to wriggle out but in vain. Those were tight enough to cut her blood flow.....as if she already wasn't feeling faint enough.
And then! They left!
after a while two other men entered the cell carrying things,.....baseball bats, knives, whips in different shapes. Whatever colour left in her face drained and dried like water in desert,
suddenly one of them came infront of her and without giving a second thought tore her clothes of. A horrified scream left her mouth, she started struggling and cursing at them until her throat turned dry and sore
"stop, please I'm sorry....I'll try hard, I'll not fail you next time!" Then she pleaded
But there was zero expression on their faces.
she was left only in her undergarments, and one of the men was looking at her with lust perfectly visible in his eyes. Panic started building inside her as past scenarios flashed in her mind. Not even Zahin or Kol was here in any position to save her this time.
"start" a cold voice echoed through the cell
And with that an agonizing cry left her mouth when she felt a sharp lash of a whip sliced her back.
and then another,
another,
one more,
but how many more!
She was breathing heavily......trembling with pain.
she screamed until her throat turned raw, jaw set tight, she tried!
she really tried to stop the tears that was falling freely of her eyes without much of an effort. She didn't dare look outside of the cell. Suddenly someone splashed a whole bucket ice cold water on her and another painful scream left her mouth.....it was not just ice cold water, it was salted ice cold water.
Her skin felt like someone put her on barbeque and roasting her alive.
"do not stop, keep it going until you don't hear her scream.....that's how make them strong" The voice hissed
and that's it, one order and they started raining whiplash on her from each and every side like there was no tomorrow. How many, she forgot to count!
And by the end, even they were breathing heavily.
Her eyes turning heavy....darkness thretening to consume her whole being, she prayed that at least now she may die,......now they would let her die!
One last attempt of opening her eyes she saw two figure came outside of cell, with smirking faces.
Benny and Lena ?
"b***h" she muttered before everything turned black
BACK TO PRESENT
Mayuree's POV
It was 3 a.m in the morning, I woke up sweating like a pig!
disgusting!
I went straight to the washroom and start the shower and sat under it and started crying........loudly!
No one heard me,.....
not then and not now!
I have made sure of my room was built sound proof because of my horrible nightmare that was once my life! My life for 9 years before i escaped from that hell.
but what about the nightmares that has been haunting me for years! will i ever be able to escape them !?
when baba asked my opinion about marrying Rikkard I said yes reluctantly but i did say yes without seeing or knowing him. I agreed not because of fame or money or anything but only because i wanted a different life, i wanted to exchange those nightmares with new dreams...i wanted to forget them, I wanted him to make me forget them, I wanted to make new memories with him, it would have been hard but worth a try!
A leap of faith ?
Sweet,romantic,funny memories could've erase those horrible ones
and i thought maybe,....
just maybe he could! maybe he would!
Oh! what a lie!
How delusional i was!
How wrong I was!
How naive of me to think that a simple name change could change my luck!
Bad luck!
That never left me even after all these years
