Obsessive Flames of Love

Tanvi was lying on a colossal bed, shouting, and struggling to get out of his rigid grip, but all her attempts are in vain.

She is protesting not to go further, but he is drunk and not in a conscious state. He became an animal full of lust, and his grip is becoming much tighter, which leads to bruises on her sensitive skin.

He tore her dress apart, and she is bewildered. His way of doing things became very strange to her, and she kicked him. He rattled with fury and gave a tight slap to her.

Her cheek is bloated, and blood started flowing from the brim of her lip. She is beyond shocked, and he started humiliating her by saying sickening things to her.

“You disgust me, Tanvi!!! No man will be with you.” Tears flowed from her eyes uncontrollably, her cheeks soaked with saltness. She is screaming, “Stop all your nonsense. Don’t touch me. Don’t come near me,” and wakes up from her nightmare like that.

Her mind went blank. With the sudden intimation with Rudra, she is attacked by her traumatic past with Dhruv.

After her tragic failure with Dhruv, she did not dare to think about love, not even getting close to another man.

She did not even marry anyone because of her insecurities and traumatic events. Dhruv crushed her to the bottom and damaged her emotionally.

Tanvi struggled a lot and took some medications and therapies to become herself. For the past few years, she is leading a good life building her self-confidence and fighting her own battles.

She built walls around her and became bold to the outside world but is timid inside. Whenever those nightmares attack her, she will be insecure and lost in those incidents. But now, the mere intimacy between Rudra and her had awakened her ruined horrible past.

After losing the battle with her mind, She woke up forcefully with the bright sun kissing her. She checked her side, and Rudra is nowhere. Her emotions are disturbed, and fear crawled inside her. Everything Dhruv had done to her came in a fast flash, and she had no strength left to fight with it.

Struggling to come out of those memories succeeded after a few hours. Tanvi finally gave up and decided to freshen up. She stood in front of the mirror and realized how he marked her. Her lips are puffy with the harshness he used. She cursed herself for not listening to him.

“Huh. Thank god! He is not present, or else I do not know what this monster will do.” She huffed. “It is indeed my fault to say, ‘do whatever you want’,” she scolded herself.

Time went by, but her mood remained dampened. She needed a distraction and decided to go to the balcony. She got mesmerized by the beauty of the Island. This room has the best view, the climate, the breeze, and nature. She is hoping it might reduce the stress and pain she has.

Rudra did not come to his mansion the entire night. He and Tamaz are busy handling things.

…

Meanwhile, word went out that Rudra got married. People in Mumbai are going crazy with the news “Mr. Handsome, the alluring dynamic bachelor, Mr. Ishan Rudra Chauhan, got married in his huge financial losses.”

Diana was stunned to see the news, “What game are you playing this time, Rudra? What the fuck are you trying to do?” She yelled.

After some time, she received a confirmation that he is married to Tanvi. Listening to it, Diana clenched her fists and threw the vase towards the television.

She saw herself in the mirror and broke everything surrounding her. Her room is full of broken pieces, and Diana became a madwoman. She broke the glass door, windows, and everything.

“You bloody Rudra, How dare you marry her?” She is quivering with rage. “I will see how you are going to live with her. I will show hell to Tanvi. She will regret marrying you is the worst decision in her life.” Diana groaned.

…

It became evening, yet Rudra is not in the mansion. Tanvi is thinking, and she got an idea. She decided to escape from his cage since he is not there. She went to the garden and noticed it was full of his people. “I want this garden to be empty.” She said to them.

They thought she wanted some space and left her alone.

“Woah!! I managed them easily. It’s time for me to escape.” She felt proud and closed all the visible doors.

She began climbing the wall with the help of a shawl fixed to a hook. After struggling for some time, she jumped out of the mansion.

She felt happy and started running away. While she is diligent to get away, a car stopped in front of her. She was stunned and stood there for a moment. The door opened, there stood by Rudra, her heart sank. He took her and placed her in the car harshly.

Before an hour, when Tanvi jumped and started running, Rudra got to know of it. Rudra predicted she would try to escape. She deliberately left the phone given by Rudra, and though he will not be able to track her.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

But she prophesied awfully. He is Mr. Ishan Rudra Chauhan, the mastermind. He put a tracking device on her customized ring, which is linked to his mobile, and he will be receiving every update on her move. Then, He understood she was escaping and immediately stopped his meeting and came to her.

Tanvi is frightened to face him. Rudra didn’t even say a single word, and he didn’t even glance at her.

He stepped on the gas and roared the accelerator, and she held her breath with the speed he is driving.

She managed to stutter, “P… please, d… drive slowly,” and in the next minute, the pace increased to another level.

She is stumbling though she had a seatbelt. She then understood, that his silence is much more dangerous than anger. After some time, they reached the mansion. He took her in and threw her onto the sofa. The people in the house are terrified of his rage.

“I want you all to be in your rooms.” He ordered, and in an instant, everyone left. Tanvi is shivering, not knowing a way to face him.

“You dare to escape from me? You sure have the guts to go against me.” Rudra groaned and gave a cynical grin.

She was intimidated by the rage in his eyes, she wanted to escape so badly from his fury, but he held her wrist tightly digging his nails into her skin, and she yelped in pain.

Rudra dragged her to his room and threw her in without a bother that it might hurt her. With a piercing glare, he began walking towards her, and Tanvi was taking steps backward. Rudra was burning with fumes, and she is scared to her core seeing him like that.

In the next second, he pushed her towards the wall, and her back hit against the wall.

A stinging pain came from her back while her face was scrunched in agony. He kept his hands on the wall on either side of her and trapped her with nowhere to go.

She shut her eyes while trembling with fear. Gazing at the monstrous look on his face, she was utterly petrified.

“Open your eyes,” he demanded in a dangerous tone, but she didn’t.

He punched the wall and shouted, “OPEN. YOUR. FUCKING. EYES.”

She has no courage left to disobey him, as she shrieked with terror and opened her eyes.

The moment her eyes met him, she saw blood dripping from his hand. Seeing that, her face paled.

He cupped her face with his bloodied hands, raised it to his level, and said in an edged tone while his jaw was ticking so hard, “Listen carefully, my love. You are mine. Only mine. Nothing can separate you from me until death do us part.”

Staring into her big black eyes, she was gasping for air in fear. Seeing her like that, he soothed and hugged her tightly. “Don’t ever try to go away from me, Tanvi.” He mumbled and brushed her temples.

He held her in his arms for some time and gave a peck on her lips and left. Tanvi was in a daze this whole time, not understanding, and knowing what to do, she remained still.

…

Tanvi was in her room, trying to sleep and relax for some time but is heavily distracted. The fear inside her is getting ahead of her.

Usually, Ameera will be by her side whenever she was encountering those horrible flashes of Dhruv, but now she is far away from Ameera.

She is becoming mad with the illusions, and there is no one beside her. Her vulnerabilities, anxieties, and distress in her are driving her crazy.

She wanted solace, but she is not getting that. After a lot of attempts, slowly she fell asleep.

At midnight Rudra came back to the mansion and sat beside her. He held her in his embrace and inhaled her intoxicating cologne like it is oxygen to him.

He smiled at her and, “I will cherish you, Tanvi. I will show you how beautiful this world is. Just give me some more time, I will sort out everything, and we will go back.” He murmured.

Silently, he freshened up and slept there, and suddenly Tanvi started shouting in her sleep.

Rudra became alarmed, and he instantly woke up from his sleep. After a few minutes, he realized she might be having a bad dream, but he is shocked by the impact she is having.

She is trembling, crying, and was struggling so hard. Traces of sweat started forming on her forehead, and her palms became sweaty.

Seeing her like this, in a split second, he held her in his arms. She is still struggling, then he slowly embraced her and rubbed her back with his palms lovingly, cleaned her forehead with a cloth, and began whispering soothing words in her ears. Gradually, she fell asleep peacefully.

By the time she woke up, he had left. But traces of his presence are present. She is startled knowing that she and Rudra slept on the same bed.

“I am again suffering from this trauma because of you. I hate you for your cruelness Rudra. Nothing can reduce this hatred towards you. Why are you doing this to me?” She grumped angrily. But she knows more than anyone else that she can not escape from his hands.
