Love is beautiful, isn't it ?
But his love became an hell for her...
Is there any escape from this hell ? Absolutely not...
Because she was meant to shatter in his love, 'SHATTERED to be his'.
TARA JINDAL
“Are you serious Alie?!” A chuckle left my mouth when I heard the recent breakup story of my bitch of a bestfriend who called me in the middle of the night just to share her ‘overwhelming’ emotions with me.
Of course it was not shocking! I’m used to listening to her break up or hook up stories every second week, but the reason for her break up this time was way more funnier than ever.
“So you think I’m being sarcastic here?” She uttered while sobbing.
“No, I mean... How can he tear off your favourite lingerie set like that?” I kept my tone cool, trying hard to hold back my laugh.
“Actually I told him to be wild as fuck, but that asshole became blind in his wildness!” She snarled.
“I wanted him to be wild, but not like that... I should have warned him already.” She added, weeping dramatically.
Hearing this, I burst out in laughter even after trying hard to control myself.
“Does this sound funny to you, bitch?” She almost yelled from the other end.
I took a pause to control. Then, said in a calm voice “No it's not like that, actually you know what Alie... You should have demanded 10 pieces of the same lingerie set before breaking up with him.”
After giving her such great advice, I got up from the bed and made my way towards the balcony to take some fresh air.
”Fuck! I didn't even think of it!” She said, clearly regretting.
“You're such a babe, Tara. I seriously don't need any boyfriend until you're with me. You’re my everything from now on.” She added and I heard a kissing sound from the other end.
She is high on her mood swings for now.
“Don't you try to seduce me Alie, All these rights are reserved by my man. Only he can seduce me.” I stated, making her laugh.
”Ohh, for real?!” She asked sarcastically.
”Of course! he must be thinking of me right now!” I replied and flipped my hair.
*Me being delulu*
“Okay then! Instead of seducing you, I'll seduce your man and then give our babies to you to raise them up!” She cooed, more like teasing me.
“Shut up you lowkey, only and only I can seduce him!” I retorted not wasting a second.
“Oh someone is getting wet from her delulu man’s thoughts?” She further tried. But I didn’t react this time.
Instead, I kept listening her nonsense quietly, playing my obvious bestie role.
”Then his one gaze must be enough to impregnate you, isn't it?!” She said, after a long non-sense.
Why does she never leaves any chance to tease me? Ahh! of course, this break up affected her so hard. Understandable.
“A while before you were crying for your break up, doesn’t it matter to you now?” I questioned, my brows knitting together.
”You know what Tara, I fucking need a break up party so bad. I just want to wipe out that bastard’s memories from my sexy mind.” She replied, trying to control her tears of loyalty and pain. Note the Sarcasm.
”Wait wait! tomorrow is your birthday Tara, you’re turning twenty one.” She almost crashed out of excitement.
Finally.
”So you remember?” I asked her, resentment was evident in my tone.
How can she forget, it’s my birthday.
”Of course I do! And as always you haven't any plans for your birthday, huh?” She asked, more like a plea.
”Hmm.. but there’s a grand party in the mansion... And daddy is announcing me as the face of Jindal diamond’s new branch.” I said it all within one breath.
”Great! now go and take your beauty sleep” Saying this, she disconnected the call.
What was that?! I’m sure this crazy girl will do something tomorrow. I don't know why I'm having a strong feeling that something is going to happen tomorrow. Something really unexpected.
Ughhh! my subconscious mind is always a chaos of unwanted thoughts and people.
I shook my head and got inside the room. As soon as I laid out in bed, my eyes filled with sleep started getting heavy and went closed by themselves.

NEXT MORNING| AAYANSH’S penthouse
“You have five minutes, Mrs. Oberoi. Speak up!” Aayansh who was doing pushups on his one hand, stated as soon as he picked up the call, a bluetooth was connected to his ear.
“Aayansh! I’m your mother for god’s sake. If you can’t give respect then better don’t disrespect me!” A middle aged lady spoke from the other end.
She was Anika Oberoi, Aayansh’s step mother.
”Correction Mrs. Oberoi! You are not my mother. If you ever speak this thing again, I won’t think twice before putting those six bullets of my gun right through your skull!” His tone was calm yet stiff.
”And you very well know that I keep my words.” He added, his whole focus was on his pushup counts.
Hearing this, Anika’s eyes widened with shock and fear as if some horrible past hit her mind.
“I...I was just saying that your dad needs you, Y-you haven't even shown us your face for twelve years. Don’t you think you should be in India now?” She barely managed to stutter.
”I hate people who twist things, get on the point!” He spoke with the same tone.
“Aa... Aayansh, your dad wants you to handle Oberoi industries now. We know that you have built your own empire, but who’ll handle Oberoi industries after your dad?!” She pleaded.
“How about I destroy ‘Oberoi industries’ itself? You know how much l love to destroy things and people!” He said with an oblique smirk on his face as he stood up.
“Aayansh please, I-”
“Your five minutes are over!” He said before ending the call.
His sweaty hairs were scattered on his forehead, his eyes were a little red and he was just wearing a black shorts. A little sweat from well built chest was dripping to his eight pack abs. He turned his face a little and looked at his arm where there was a fresh wound of a bullet, which he didn’t bother a little.
”Brother?” Rivaan called as he came, Aayansh didn’t turn towards him.
”AJ has announced about his diamond shipments and he’ll do those shipments with our route.” Rivaan exclaimed in a serious tone.
Aayansh remained unaffected and no one could figure out what was going on in his mind at the moment.
”What are you planning, brother?” Rivaan asked, noticing the firmness on His face.
With a mysterious smirk on his face, Aayansh replied ”I don't believe in planning Rivaan. I believe in actions. And it’s time for that only. Time to snatch what’s mine!”
“Get our diamond ships ready!” He ordered.
Rivaan nodded his head in response and left from there.
Tara was getting ready for the party, Party’s theme was black and white so she wore a white sleeveless gown with a mid thigh slit and a net covering.
Stylists were getting her ready, they applied a little makeup on her face including baby pink lipstick, mascara and a little blush on her already pinkish cheeks. She wore a light diamond jewellery.
”Woah Ma’am! you’re looking like an angel!” One of the stylists complimented after completing her look. In response, she passed her a sweet smile.
“And an Angel invites the Devil?!”
Hearing this familiar voice, Tara immediately turned to look at the girl who stood a few steps sway, staring at her only.
Not wasting a second, Tara rushed forward, straight towards her.
”Are you for real, Kaya?!” Tara asked, her lashes fluttering in excitement.
“No! I’m an illusion!” That girl rasped sarcastically.
”Okay so let me live this illusion for a moment!” Saying thiss, Tara hugged her tightly.
She was kaira singhania. Tara’s cousin sister and the one with whom she spent all her childhood and shared countless beautiful memories. No one knew where she was living till now.
”So—finally my wandering monk got some time for me!” Tara complained, separating herself from kaira a little.
”You know what? I had to come here today as my little star has entered her productive era. You know I went for the search of love of my life. And guess what, I found him.” She told, excited and thrilled at the same time.
”Really, And who's the dick?” Tara frowned, a little more desperate.
”It's a long story! I’ll tell you after the party!” Saying this, she held Tara’s hand and made their way out of the room.
The decor of the mansion was classy yet elegant with a combination of black and white. Almost every big businessmen and sophisticated personality was present in the this ball room.
On Tara’s demand, It was a masquerade party so every face was covered behind a mask. Kaira, after putting her mask on her face, fixed a mask on Tara’s face. As soon as they both entered in the main hall, everyone’s gaze froze on Tara.
Not only because she was Dhairya Jindal’s daughter or AJ’s sister, but the elegance she carried was irresistible. Her honey eyes shimmered behind that mask, were as intoxicating as liquor.
It could be said as her first public appearance. She was about to be announced as the new face of Jindal Diamonds. The media’s entry in ball room was prohibited for now.
Arsh and Dhairya reached Tara. Dhairya held Tara’s hand and asked with a smile “Ready for the surprise, princess?”
“Surprise?!” Confusion flashed in her eyes.
“You’ll know within a while!” Arsh assured with a gentle smile.
“Kaira, you both go and enjoy!” He said and in response, Kaira nodded and took Tara with her.
Here, Arsh called someone and as soon as the call got picked, he ordered sharply. “There should be NO irresponsibility in the security, Luca. I’m damn sure he’ll come here. I don’t fucking care about professional reasons, but I don't want any problem in this party!” His tone was cold, serious.
Saying this, he disconnected and glanced at Tara who was enjoying with Alie and kaira. A smile appeared on his face, seeing Tara happy.
Here, A person wearing black tuxedo, stood near the cocktail corner. His half face was covered with a black mask. He was looking devilishly handsome with an extremely attractive yet dark aura.
Here comes the Angel’s Devil!
His dark blue eyes were fixed on Tara who was sweetly smiling with her girls, unaware of every other thing.
”So fucking tempting! So fucking mine!” That guy who was no-one but Aayansh muttered, his gaze never left Tara. A devilish smirk appeared on his face as soon as he completed those words and suddenly, the lights of the party hall went off and a few spotlights turned on.
Aayansh stepped towards Tara who was looking here and there with curiosity and confusion.
After reaching her, not letting her process any other thing, he took her hand in his and brought her to the centre of the party hall.
As Tara’s eyes met his additive ones, she couldn’t just look away. There were something unsettlingly familiar about his eyes. Something that made her breath still until she was just lost in him.
Both stared into each other’s eyes without blinking.
Curiosity flashed in her gaze, those dark blue eyes, felt different. Meanwhile, Aayansh’s devilish stare firmly scanned every feature of her angelic beautiful face. Then, lingered on her soft pink lips.
Grabbing her waist, he pulled her closer until her delicate frame collided with his broad chest. Tara’s hands instinctively moved to his chest, still staring at him. A spotlight fell on them as music mixed in the air. Some other couples joined the stage as well.
Kaise kahun ishq mein tere
Kitna hun betaab main?
Aankho se Aankhen milaa ke
churaa lun tere khwaab main~
Tara, still trapped somewhere in him, got back to her senses as the couples around started twirling with their partners.
“I—I know y...” Her lips froze mid-breath as Aayansh leaned closer to her face, his mouth hovering at her ear. “Shh, let me feel you.” His voice was cold, yet intoxicating.
As his lips touched her ear, his words settled in her, goosebumps erupted all over her bare skin.
Hai ye Nasha, ya hai zeher
Is pyaar ko ham kya naam dein?
Kab se adhoori hai ek dastaan
Aajaa use Aaj anjaam dein~
These lines, they weren’t random, but they carried a memory.
Aayansh’s grip on her waist was no where gentle, it was consuming, suffocating.
Tumhe bhoolun kaise main
Meri pehli khata tum ho~
Aayansh’s intense gaze found hers once again, this time, staring straight through her soul.
She somewhere found this touch, this fragrance and this voice... familiar.
Aayansh spun her around, her bare back crashed against his chest and she gasped with the suddenness.
His one arm caging her waist, with the other, he grabbed her wrist. Tara who was being uncomfortable with him now, tried to get away a little but all her efforts were worthless as he had Locked her in his Arms like an Inescapable hell.
Her breath and heartbeat became uneven than ever, feeling the heat of his touch, the intensity of his actions.
Kya jaane tu, Mere iraade
Le jaunga, saanse churaa ke
Dil keh raha hai gunahgaar ban Jaa
Bada chain hai inn gunaahon ke aage~
His lips touched her neck, her head tilted itself, not able to resist him. The sensations, uneasiness, yet a slightest yearning his touch was bringing through her was haunting. It wasn’t right anyway.
Aayansh trapped her earlobe between his teeth, nipping on it ever so enough to make her heart stutter before he freed her. And then, the lights turned on.
Tara stood there, not turning, not moving.
But as everything just happened unsettled her again, she, without thinking anything, ran straight towards her floor.
Kiara and Alie were busy in their deeds, Dhairya was engaged with his business associates. But Arsh, who returned just now, as he saw Tara like that, he began following her.
Here, Tara removed the mask from her face and threw it away, After reaching her room, she locked the door from inside. But the moment she turned and looked before her, her eyes widened in shock and horror.
Aayansh sat on the couch, utterly relaxed, his legs folded like a king, staring right at her with his head slightly tilted, as if he was waiting for her only. And this time, there was no mask on his face.
Some blurred moments of that night flashed before Tara’s eyes as she saw Aayansh’s face. This face... It was still somewhere fresh in her memories.
Seeing the man who still haunted her dreams, her body with her mind went numb for a heartbeat. Her steps began to falter, eyes filled with tears.
“Y—You?” She stuttered breathlessly.
“Expecting someone else, fireheart?” A deep smirk formed on Aayansh’s face. He stood and started walking towards her.
Watching him coming near, Tara’s step moved backwards.
“I—I don’t k... know how I came In that r..room that night, I re—really don’t... Please ple... I couldn’t se- sense,” Her voice broke when his shadow hovered above her. In a breath, he pinned her to the wall sideways and bent on her face.
“So how about I fuck you right here to bring your senses back?” He rasped against her lips.
He was tilted on her face utterly, their noses touched. His warm breath against her skin sent shivers straight through her spine.
His grip on her waist was so firm, without any force, that she wasn’t able to move.
”Le... Leave me!” She demanded, but soon, darkness began engulfing her vision. And within seconds, she fell unconscious on his chest.
Unaffected, Aayansh stared at her face for a moment, then picked her up on his shoulder in a smooth pull.
He made his way out.
Here, Arsh after reaching Tara’s floor, moved straight towards her bedroom. Impatient to find out what was wrong with her. Why she ran away like that?
