AUTHORS POV
All his attention was on her to listen to her side of the story…
She started speaking and her voice came out emotionless like she is not feeling anything. She shut all her emotions, she can’t break down while telling him everything.
“We were a happy family, my father, he loved me so much like I am his only princess, my mother, she was the best mother in the world, she always loved me more than my brother, my brother always protected me, he always loved me like his little baby sister, and my grandmother she was the best, my idol, my everything, she was my world. She was the one who taught me how to live like a queen, whatever I am now is only because of her, she made me like this, strong… If my other family members loved me and pampered me then my grandmother taught me how to be strong, how to fight back. She never taught me to give up and groomed me like a future queen, she was one of the powerful woman in the business world and everyone respected her. She was the queen of her own empire and I always tried my best to make her proud… I always came first in studies, sports, whatever she wanted me to learn, I gave it my hundred percent, only to make her proud and she protected me and loved me more than anything, more than herself, like I am her only hope… Raajveer was my betrothed, when I was born my grandmother promised his father that we both will get married in future… And we grew up like that, we were best friends, always together, I was everyone’s favourite. I was their world and they were mine, I loved them more than my life…. once we grew up raajveer moved to London for his higher studies, and I was focusing on mine… Everything was going perfect, like my dream world and I was the princess in it…
Until my 18th birthday, I left early in the morning to visit the temple… I was driving, when I passed by the bridge, I lost control on the speed and tried to handle it but my breaks were failed, it wasn’t working… And my car fell from the bridge, in the Arabic ocean, and everything went black. I thought I will die but someone saved me, when I opened my eyes I was in different place, different country and the people who saved me were mafia leaders, 3 brothers. They were psycho, crazy and heartless monsters, they called themselves scorpions. They were involved in drug dealing, human trafficking and all kind of dirty illegal businesses… They raped women and killed them brutally and so they did to me, I thought they will kill me too after but they didn’t. I was a virgin, pure and untouched women for them and it made them happy, that they got their little plaything only for them to play, they become obsessed with me, they liked torturing me. Everytime I tried to escape they catched me and everytime I would end up with broken bones. Everyday I ended up in my own pool of blood, every second of my life was filled with fear and pain. I was so scared that anytime they will come and rape me, torture me but I didn’t give up, I tried to escape every time I got the chance to and few times I succeeded to get out of their house and then realised that they were playing games with me since cat and mouse was their favourite. They whipped me, sliced my skin and burned me but they didn’t let me die… I was trying to escape and they didn’t like it, they didn’t wanted to loose their favourite toy…
They threatened me that if I tried to escape one more time they will bring my family there and kill them in front of me… And I knew that they were not lying, they had done that before, they had killed people in front me. They made me watch how they were cutting people’s limbs, snatching eyes from their socket, it was crazy. A girl like me who never hurt a fly in her whole life, witnessing murder everyday was making me loose my sanity…
After their threats I stopped escaping, I would have died if they killed my family in front me. I love them with my life so I sacrificed myself for them… I took all their torture and pain they inflicted on me, only for my family. I used to end up in basement for weeks, starving and was chained like animals…
Most of the time when I ended up in hospital Brother chang was the doctor who treated me. He was gay and that’s the only reason why they let him touch me for treatment and he was also the mafia doctor… 2 years I was with them, taking all their tortures but I never broke down. I believed that one day my family will find me, they will save me. My grandmother she will heal my each and every wound, I knew it. My family will heal me, I was living with this hope that my family will save me one day, I was their princess afterall.
But all my hopes came down crashing on me, I lost all my hopes, my little innocent heart shattered into millions pieces, my whole world turned upside down when I learned the truth…. That it was my own loving and caring family who sold me to the mafia…
It turned out my father and brother were in illegal business, my mother was a drug addict and when my grandmother found out about it, she decided to make me the sole heir of Sahay Group of Industries. She freezed their accounts and my father was in a big debt with the scorpions so they fabricated my death and sold me to them as a payment and killed my grandmother too showing it as an accident…
All my trust and belief in humanity, my innocence, everything broke… Years of torture didn’t broke me but the betrayal of my own family did it… I was broken, they finally broke me…
There was no way for me to escape now, I knew that they will catch me even if I escaped, they were powerful…
It was so much to take in, I was helpless, alone, broken with no one there to hold me and console me, there was no hope for me to escape from that hell…
So I decided to kill myself and tried to end my pathetic life… But to my bad luck they saved me and I was admitted in the hospital… Thinking about how to kill myself next time so they can’t save me…
And then brother chang came and told me that, they got killed… Their rivals killed them, by burning them alive, and that set my heart on peace but I wanted to see them burning alive, screaming and begging, like i did…
I was free but broken and damaged. After that brother chang adopted me and started my treatment, I was loosing my sanity, I was having panic attacks and traumas…
They still haunt me in my dreams…
I didn’t give up, I wanted to take my revenge from that heartless family, they have destroyed my life and killed my grandmother too. I will not stand back and watch them enjoying their life with my grandmother’s money, no never…
I worked hard day and night to build my own empire and brother chang helped me in that. He became my family, he loved me like his daughter and helped me to stand back up and fight back, and I did… I used everything in me, all my talents, skills and strategies which my grandmother taught me and I succeeded…
I built my own empire and destroyed them, I destroyed everything, their fake status, fake royalty, everything, I turned everything into dust….
I finally got my revenge on them…
But I didn’t got my old self back, I became someone else, I covered myself in tattoos to hide my scars… I lost my innocence and my happiness… I lost my real self in all this…”
She finished talking and looked at him.
He was in shock after listening her story. He was stunned, he didn’t understand what to say and what not…
He was kept looking at her while she was unable to read his expression.
