Trigger warning:

With his finger intertwined with hers, vansh scanned the place where his wife had brought him....

Dim red lights flickered all over the place as the smell of alcohol and sweat threaded through the air....

Various drunk people danced their ass off to the loud music as some of them sat nestled in the corner, smooching and making out.....

Various girl, dressed in bare minimum clothes were putting up a show for the bidders as some of them straddled their pitchers lap......

Such places weren't unusual for him at all....infact most of his mafia meetings used to take place as such locations.....

The utterly scoff worthy security here being the main reason.....

But if he were to be honest....it made him sick to the stomach

He would rather go for an elite hotel for those meetings but the tight security and the constant hawk eyes from each and every person, some of them rivals in disguise served as the main red flag......

His eyebrows scrunched as his wife led him into a dark room, illuminating by the mere neon lights as she literally pushed him over the large sofa, before handcuffing his both hands to the post.....

Before he could protest, she turned back on her heel and walked behind the glass screen separating him from the other similarly lit room......

His eyes widened in horror as she stood in the centre of the room and a man came up from behind her and plastered her body to his before roaming his hands all over her body....

A man whom he recognised way too much

ARYAN......

It was clear as the daylight that he was way too wasted to realise that the women he was touching wasn't any bar dancer....rather HIS WIFE....

"See vansh....your cousin is touching me....your wife....inappropriately.....just like he had always wished you....just like he always imagined and attempted to in VR mansion......

He had his bad eye on me...ever since the day i step my foot in your cruise.....

He wanted to use me....like rag doll....

To satisfy his inner beast....

The fact that i was your wife didn't stop him one bit....

You know....when you were away for your meeting....he used our bathroom with permission and stood infront of me covered in a mere bathrobe....

His shamelessness dripping right from his eyes and words.....

Come vansh....save your wife from this monster.....

Punish him for eying me...talking dirty about me and touching me....."

A loud growl left past vansh's lips as he pulled at his restraint, tears of frustration streaming down his blood shot angry orbs as he finally mustered all the power he could and broke free from the clutches...marching towards his cousin like a mad bull as he pulled a knife from the nearby counter and dug it right in his heart splattering blood all around......

But that didn't seem to satisfy the beast as he splashed his hand cut like a maniac before doing the same with his tongue

Making the vixen standing behind him beam up with a dark smirk

      ......................................................................

"Remember this place vansh...."

He heard his sweetheart's voice as he lifted up his blank gaze to see where they were only to have his breath hitch seeing them standing infront of the place where their bodies united for the very first time.....GLASSHOUSE.....

The place was decorated just like he had done 2 years back....each and every flower, candle, petal in its exact same place.....

"You remember what aryan once told you.....

"Lets face it vansh bhai...yeh shadi shadi jesa kch hai nhi....kya reason ho skta hai..."

His face smug as he looked dead in his mafia cousin's eyes....

"Riddhima is pretty...so why not just use and throw her...."

You slapped him...even before he could complete that sentence making him fall to the ground with a thud....

My heart swelled vansh....

You took a stand for me...for my dignity

And unknowingly a beam of respect blossomed in my heart for you.....

But sadly you ended up doing the exact same under the pretext of your revenge......"

Her orbs lingered with tears as she led him inside

"You fucked me....right on this mattress....knowing that i was giving up not just my body but my soul to you too.....

I bled....all over your dick....proving to you that i had kept myself reserved....even from the man for whom i was ready to lay life for.....

But still the mist didn't clear out from the back of your mind.....

You USED me and days later....you gave away my place to someone else....throwing me out of your life like a used condom....

Do you know how much it hurts.....

When i realised that none of it was love....

I told you that someone tried to attack me here but you didn't care....because you just wanted to fuck me and get over with it....

You pretended as if you we were claiming my soul....when in actual you were simply satisfying your ego....

The same man who slept on a sofa for god damn how many months fucked me just for his fucking revenge.....

And even when i had a little hope left in me that maybe maybe some of it was real....you crushed that hope too by the pool side when I questioned you about it....."

"Riddhima...."

His voice choking....

"I never said that all those moments we spent together weren't real....i never did....."

A humourless chuckle left past her lips...

"YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY IT VANSH....

YOUR SILENCE SAID IT ALL.....

It was fake vansh.....

Everything was fake....

Your tears at the hospital when i almost tied....

Your prayers to god....you didn't wanted me to survive because you loved me...you wanted me to survive because you wanted to punish me yourself......you wanted to satisfy your sadistic ego....

Every confession...every kiss...every touch...every sweet nothing....every whisper was fake

FAKE..........."

His breath heaved as her words resonated in his ears.....

And before darkness could blind his vision, he saw a glass of juice being forwarded towards him...

"Dont worry....I haven't poisoned it...."

She stated out seeing his hesitation as he immediately took it from her hand and gulped it down.....

His forehead scrunched in confusion as she walked towards the restroom and returned back shortly after with a bunch of stuff in her hand....

It were her belongings

His mother's saree

Her dancing doll

His mother's anklet

Her vermillion box

His mother's lengha

Her wedding dress

Their memories

Setting them all on the mattress, she looked him dead in the eyes before lighting them all of fire....earning a scream of despair from him....

But before he could take a step forward to stop all their memories from burning down....his eyes widened in horror as his legs went absolutely numb making him loose his balance and fall onto the floor.....

"You gave my rights to someone else's vansh....

I....laid my life down to protect your family

I prayed for you in sickness and health.....

I was by your side when none was.....

I gave you the right over my body and soul....

And you replaced me....within a flick of a finger....

Did you really think its easy to mend that all...."

She spat furiously as her fingers enclosed around the nuptial chain around her neck before pulling it harshly and tossing it into the blazing fire....

"NOOOOOO"

His screams echoed all through the place as he crawled towards the fire and put his hand into the raising flame, crying in pain, trying his best to save their memories

But it was too late....

As everything had already burnt to ASHES......

To be continued.......

What do you guys think???

Is riddhima being too cruel in her revenge????
