Anamika- The broken beauty novel Chapter 43

AUTHORS POV

"Massimo where are you, please come fast... I am scared...I miss you, where are you, I know you are alive..."

She whispered to herself and silent tears fell from her eyes.

It was morning now and today she again woke up with a nightmare. Her heart was craving for him, her eyes were dying to just have a glance at him, In total she was a mess.

She was sitting on the bed curled in a ball swinging back and forth.

The door opened and raajveer came in.

"Good morning Annu, you're awake, how are you feeling?... "

He said normally like nothing happened yesterday And sat down in front of her.

She looked at him with no expressions, no emotions and empty eyes without saying anything.

"I am so sorry Annu, I didn't wanted to hurt you but you left me no choice, please forgive me..."

He said softly and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"You must be hungry right, I have made breakfast for you. Do you remember we used to eat together everyday before school..."

He said smiling and she just averted her face with a blank look.

He took out some photographs and placed them in front of her making her look at them.

" See, our photographs, our memories... I still have them, I still cherish them Annu because I love you..."

He picked one photograph and smiled looking at it.

"You remember this one... When we used to paint all day, I know how much you like colours... And this one, I clicked this one when you were planting rose plants the whole day. You filled the whole garden with rose plants, you were crazy for red roses saying that it's a symbol of love.... And this, see, you are looking so cute here 6 years old Annu, we were playing house game and you were playing my wife. You remember you never let anyone play my wife's role saying that I am going to be his wife, you were so adorable, my little chubby annu..."

He said smiling and adoring their childhood pictures.

She didn't said anything, she was just looking at him with her blank face as her insides were screaming one name, Massimo.

He finally released a big defeated sigh and said.

" We were so happy together Annu, then what changed now. Why can't we go back to our old life, you don't have to worry about anything Annu I will take good care of you. You will fall in love with me again, I promise...

I will make you like my old Annu, my little innocent dove and you don't need these tattoos anymore, we will remove it ok. I don't like them, I like your clear soft skin... Don't worry, I will make everything like before..."

He said like a maniac and she looked at him with disgust.

"You want to know what changed... You changed raajveer, the raajveer I knew never hurt anyone and you are punching women like they are your fucking punching bags...

The little bit of respect I had for you, you lost that yesterday when you raised your hand on me for no reason and when you shot Massimo... You know how you said that Massimo is a bad man, he is not a good man for me but the truth is you are not a good man for me. He never raised his hand on me even with his anger issues, he never put a scratch on me. He treated me like I am the most delicate thing of his life and you hit me. Just wait until he finds it out, he will break each and every fucking bone in your body, you have no idea how dangerous he is...

and you want me to fall in love with you, do you even know the meaning of love...

Listen to me very carefully raajveer, I never loved you and I never will... I only love him and you can't change that..."

She spat, hate was dripping from her each and every word.

"Okay, say whatever you want I don't care... We don't have have much time anyways, get ready..."

He said standing up.

"Ready for what?..."

She narrowed her eyes at him.

"For our marriage..."
