"Listen...and listen to me carefully Raina...You are my wife and I am a very possessive man, so, don't ever forget that you are mine...only mine. Understand?" I peered into his dark gaze which held so much possessiveness for me and I couldn't help but feel scareda.I timidly nodded. "You better understand"... Two broken hearts, a bad past, an arrange marriage. Will these hearts ever mend ? Or they will damage beyond repairs.

There is a thing about butterflies, they use the colors on their wings to attract potential mates. Isn't it wonderful that I do the same? But the only difference between me and butterfly is that my attraction lands me in trouble.I stared into my reflection in the mirror, to others I look like a beautiful butterfly with my long straight brown hair cascading down to my hips, my leaf-like hazel green eyes, and my pink-dewy skin tone. I look colorful but my life is shadowed by darkness.I grab the mascara from the dressing table and coated my eyelashes with it making them pop. I started braiding my hair. No one would believe that I am the same Raina I was two years ago. The only difference is she was lively, she had dreams, and she used to feel like a true butterfly who wanted to fly high in the sky. And now I am just a shallow person whose wings are broken. My heart and my soul is wounded.But I bought it upon myself. Only if I acted with maturity than I wouldn't be sitting in front of the mirror in an blush pink dress reaching below my knees, geting ready for my engagement. Only if I wasn't such a desperate."You will make the prettiest bride in the world, Ray". Mama whispered and placed her hand on my shoulder. Tears gathered in my eyes and I tried blinking them back."Hey, my lovely daughter don't cry". Mama crouched down next to me and wiped tears from my cheeks. Her warm fingers caressed my cheeks. I look into her warm brown pools ,filled with tears. Isn't it ironic that she is telling me not to cry but she is herself shedding tears?"I don't deserve him, mama, please stop this marriage". My voice trembled. "Why?" her question perplexed me taking me off guard. How can she even ask 'why'?"You know... mama, what I have done to him, how much I have hurt him, and I am going to do it again and he doesn't deserve to be hurt"."What happened was in the past, Raina. He agreed to this marriage, so, please, I beg you don't try to ruin it and start focusing on making your life better". She says, her voice hard. My lips trembled and my chin quivered as a loud sob escaped from my throat.I wrap my arms around her waist and buried my face in her stomach. Why can't I just stay baby or stay in her warm womb forever?"Two years ago you made a mistake a grave mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, Raina but everyone also deserves a second chance. And this is your chance to live, make it worth." She says her voice trembling, she pats my head gently and I tighten my hold around her waist.I don't want to leave my home, I don't want to leave my mama, my dad, or my family. I can't live without them. How am I gonna survive this marriage when I never wanted to marry?I close my eyes and exhaled a long sigh. I felt warm fingers grazing my forehead. "Your look was incomplete without this," she says softly and pressed her lips on my forehead. I opened my eyes and glanced in the mirror, my gaze fell upon the diamond necklace , same pattern as the same embroidery on my silk bodycon dress. I indeed look beautiful outside but I feel ugly inside because I am about to ruin someone's life."Let's go, they are waiting". She says and holds my hand in hers, I felt her palms getting sweaty like mine. We both nodded at each other and walked out of the room.***(Past)"I love you, Raina..." I stood there stunned in the middle of the parking lot surrounded by my best friends. Anna and Paul. Did he just say he loves me? But how can he? My heart thumped in my chest and I gulped down looking at him. His warm brown pools bored straight into mine. I've always loved his eyes, they reflect so much sincerity and warmth."What are you saying, Agastya"? I ask my voice coming out shaky. I just hope he is joking. "I know it is shocking even to me also. Because I never thought I will ever be able to love anyone. But you made me realize that it can be possible, when I saw you for the first time, and since then you have made your home in my heart, you reside in it. This organ beats for you, Raina Aaron. I love you." He says and a sweet hopeful smile graced his lips.My heartbeat quaked at his words, and my palms began to sweat. I don't know what to do. I've never been in this kind of situation. I rolled my head to the side and saw both of my friends had mocking smiles on their mouths. "Well, Dr. Agastya, we appreciate that you are in love with our sweet Raina but sorry to say, Raina, can't love a man like you, right Raina". Anna says and bit her lip as if she is trying to control her laughter. Why would she say something like this?"Well, Ms. Falcon , I think Raina is very much capable of taking her own decisions". Agastya says, his voice hard and jaw clenched.I curled my palms into fists. I don't know what to do, I can't hurt him. He means a lot to me. But I can't let myself be embarrassed in front of my friends, they matter to me more. I've known them for a long time and I can't let them down.I let out a sigh and look at him. "Agastya, I appreciate your feelings for me but we can't be together, I am sorry," I say, these words felt heavy on my tongue as they slip out of my mouth.He stares into my eyes, calmly and it broke me. "Why?" he whispers looking straight into my eyes. "Because I don't want to". I say."Did I do something wrong, Raina? Don't you like me ?" he says his voice thick with emotions. "I like you but it doesn't mean I love you Raghav. Please stop embarrassing me, and go from here.""So, you are embarrassed because of me, you are embarrassed because I confessed my feelings to you, did you forget every moment we shared". I flinched at his harsh tone. "What good moments you are talking about Agastya. Stop with your pathetic lies, you disgust me. Do you think I Raina Aaron will ever be with a man like you, what you have, huh? Can you give me all the luxuries like my dad, or can you even protect me like my brother, you don't even look good, your face is so ugly. You don't possess a single quality, Agastya. So, fucking get out of here." I say and crossed my arms in front of my chest. And raised my eyebrows waiting for him to go. I heard a series of chuckles escaping from my friends. My breath got stuck in my throat as I saw tears glisten in his eyes under the glasses. He smiled at me and turned around walking away. This is the right way to make him dislike me.He is not ugly, he has the most beautiful features in the world. He is a genius. He is a fucking genius but I can't be with him I don't love him but why do I feel as if I have committed the worst mistake of my life. I don't feel good. I hurt him badly.I just hope he gets over it.(Past Ends)***Our eyes clashed together boring into each other and bringing back so many memories. I lower down my gaze facing the floor not being able to continue to stare into his eyes.His eyes, those beautiful brown orbs which used to fill with warmth, love, liveliness, and happiness now look dead. As if he is alive but dead inside.And it was all my mistake. I am the reason."Raina, love go and sit beside Agastya". I heard my dad. I nodded and got up from the sofa and sat beside him leaving an appropriate distance between us.We sat quietly as our families started doing the spiritual rituals of the ceremony. Engagement is the first step toward our wedding. From today and till death we both are going to tie to each other. If the circumstances will be good enough.Once the ceremony ended everyone moved to the dining room and I just sat there. He didn't even talk to me. His cold behavior irked me. But I can understand.He is not the same boy anymore. He has changed. He is a man now, a very good-looking man. Above six feet tall, with glowing olive-tan skin, and wavy black hair combed back, he has manly peppered stubble. His sharp features are alluring, gracing beautifully on his face. And that sensual body, God, those big veiny arms, and muscles rippling through his shirt. He must be hard inside too.How can a man change in just two years? That too in the finest specimen. He looks like a sin that I am craving to taste, to feel, to hold. And to make him mine solely.I fanned my face with my hands and tried to blink back the tears which are about to spill out. How could I think about him like this? Even after what I have done to him.He changed himself inside out. He is a Surgeon, and the most handsome man I've ever seen. But I don't deserve this beauty. I will only bring disaster into his life.I wish I could go back in time and change certain unfortunate things that happened in my life.I wish I have never dated Agastya's elder brother which changed my whole life drastically. I wish I could change it all.But mama was right I can take hold of my life. I can change it for the better. I have hurt Agastya before, but now I can change it. I can make him fall in love with me again or at least like me.Some of my dreams are crushed, and my wings are broken. But I can be a good wife at least. I know he hates me right now and I don't even know why he agreed to this marriage. Maybe because of my dad, after all Agastya respect him as his mentor. Or maybe because he pities me because no one would want me to be the daughter-in-law of their family.I was admired by everyone around me, my mama and dad loved me more than anything else in the world. But now I am the black sheep of the family, I have brought disgrace upon my family. I am a girl with a loose character.But I have to make it right for my family and most importantly for Agastya. I can't disappoint him or anyone anymore.If he has chosen me I will forever be grateful to him. I will try my best to be a good wife. I will make our marriage work.I will write my new story now, I have buried my dreams in the corner of my heart a long time ago. But now I will live for my new dreams that is to be the best wife in this world.(Past will be designated in italics)Agastya~ (Period when Agastya and Raina were separated )I walked inside my cabin and sighed. I feel tired, my muscles feel sore, and I am sleep-deprived. I walked toward my chair and sat on it. I opened my laptop and started reading the file of the patient I was treating. Someone knocked on the door "Come in--" I said and heard the footsteps walking inside of my cabin. "Good morning, son--" I craned my neck up and saw Dr. Mihir Aaron my father-in-law standing with a box in his hand. He smiled at me, his eyes warm and smile radiating positivity. That is what I needed. He sat on the chair in front of me and opened the lid of the container. "I thought why not have dinner with my favorite person," he says and I smile at him in gratitude because he said what he meant. Even though I and his daughter are together, we both have gotten closer over the past three years. He served plme the sprouts and a glass of mango juice and forwarded the plate toward me. I thanked him and took the spo
♡Agastya♡Three Years Later I rested my head on the cold tile wall, as my heart pounded against my chest with trepidation. How can I do this to my wife? I at the age of 33 and she at the age of 28, are having a baby and she is in the operation theater, bringing our baby into this world. I should have gotten my vasectomy done. Instead of depending on contraceptive pills. Her pregnancy is delicate and fragile. Her body is not strong enough for pregnancy but still, she insisted on keeping the baby. And here we are, delivering our baby, prematurely. And if something happens to her, I will never be able to forgive myself, heck I will die if she won't survive. While being together for three years after five year long gap , we never once thought of babies, because we never desired them. We were more focused on our careers me being a cardiologist and her being a literature professor. Apart from our professional life, we indulged ourselves in traveling around the world, this was the life
Raina~"But I thought you love me, like love me kind of love me" I whined, a deep jealousy surged into my veins. I rubbed my temple and heard her sigh. "I still love you, Raina. Like love you kind of love you. And I think I will always will, but it feels so alone here. When you were here, it did not irk me, but now that you are back with your husband I feel so alone. So, I guess it is the right decision." she says over the other side of the phone, from London. "But you are lesbian, then why are you doing this, Susannah?" I ask, this time confused and more irritatingly. Because she can't ruin someone's life just because she is alone and feels lonely. I heard a teary chuckle and I frowned. I do not think if I said anything funny. "B is not a silent letter, Raina. Just because I love you it does not mean I do not like men. They swell at the places where a woman does not." she says, in a trying sexy voice. "But you will forget me, Susannah, if you marry". I say and my eyes are sprink
♡Raina♡I pushed the bell button again and again, desperately until it was jerked open, followed by a curse " Why the fuck, you can't wait?" He opened the door, shirtless, giving me a wonderful view of his olive skin. "Raina, what are you doing here?" He asks, frowning. I shivered as his eyes raked over my body and gulped. I pushed him inside and slammed the door behind me. "what is wrong with you?" He asks, there was a slight tremor in his voice."Why did you tell that man, that I am your wife?" I ask, I need answers. I need to know what is he thinking about me. " What? " His lips parted but he opens and closes them like a fish. Is he hiding something from me? "What, what Agastya? Tell me why would you say something like that? I signed those divorce papers, we are not husband and wife anymore." As much as I want to be his again, I need to know if he still feels the same for me. He stared at me, boring his brown pools into my hazelnut ones. He steps closer and closer until we ar
Two years later A girl around 25, with short hair reaching an inch above her shoulder, in a short, sky-blue denim skirt reaching just below her hips, paired with a pink floral cami top, holding a luxury bag in her hand walked out of the airport. A sigh of contentment escaped from her lips, as she took a long breath, inhaling the air of her homeland, after five years.She glance around and smiled, her country, her people, everywhere. Her gaze struck at a tall man, with grey hair, standing there with open arms. She squealed and ran towards him and jumped into his arms. Tears flowed from the eyes father and daughter duo, they stayed in each other's embrace for some minutes before withdrawing themselves. The old man shuffled his daughter's hair and hold her hands, leading her towards their car. Soon the other man, who was standing far away, smiled sadly and sank inside his car. She has changed, her body got mature, with big tits, and juicy thighs. Moreover, her old charm has returned,
Raina~ Three years later~ I sighed and gave fake smile to Joe. I want to stuff his mouth with Taco Bell so that he shuts up with his mouth. God, he is so annoying. Always bragging about his fucking achievements and how much wealth he has made in such a nickel of time. Trust, me this junk should meet my husband once. Then he will know what real hard-working money is called. I face-palmed myself, fuck I once again call Agastya my husband. When will I stop addressing him as my husband? I must not forget that I divorced him. We are divorced now. And we have not contacted with each other for over three years now. I am pretty much sure that he must have found some pretty woman by now. I just hope she ain't good looking as me, she ain't good in giving him butterflies as me. Even though Agastya has moved on, I still want to be the in his mind all the time. I want to be the one who he imagined while running himself. I grabbed the glass of wine and chugged it down my throat in one gulp.
Raina~A Year LaterPair of lips, skimmed down on my neck, sucking on my sweet spot, licking it, biting and nibbling on it. One hand groped my breast, twiddling my hard nipples, through my cloth. And one hand traveled under my skirt, cupping my ass cheek. His slender fingers slid my thong aside and ran his fingers over my wet folds. "Oh, Agastya" I moaned out loud and tug on his soft locks. His fingers stopped and he withdrew himself away from me and stared at me in disbelief. My heart hammered in my chest as I met with the fierce blue eyes, instead of brown ones, of my batchmate Leo. I bit my lip, shit I did it again. "Did you just take another man's name, Raina? While I am touching you. What the fuck? He yelled, his eyes blazing with anger. I tried to form an excuse or any lie but nothing came out. He shook his head and walked away, I let out a deep breath. Fuck men and fuck me.I walked out of the club and started walking toward my home, down the street. Soon I reached in fron
Raina~ My heart feels heavy, very heavy. Every now and then my eyes would tear up and I have to blink them back. This stupid fucking heart, it is making me weak. But I have to do it. For a whole week, I have thought about this and I have finally concluded. To make my life better, to make myself better I have to do it. I applied the last coat of my lip gloss and smiled heavily. For the sake if our happiness, I have to do it.I grab my YSL purse and walk out of my room. I climbed down my stairs and saw Tara doing something on her laptop. I walk toward her and ruffle her hair, causing her to groan in annoyance. "I will be home early, make my favorite pasta. Please" I say and walk toward the big mahogany gate of our home. My Mercedes was already parked in front of the gate. I walked toward it and opened the door I ducked my body inside and sat on the driver's seat.Even though I am not allowed to drive, but I still will. No one knows that I am the driving to meet to Agastya. I pul
Raina~ I look at my face and cringed. Though it was healing but it still looked ugly as hell. I applied my ointment and went toward my bed to sleep. Where my best friend was already lying, staring at the ceiling wall of my old room. I slid my body inside the comforter and wrapped my arms around her. "What are you thinking about?" I ask, while she was deeply lost in her thoughts. She sighed and looked at me "Tomorrow. Tomorrow all of them will be in the jail, Raina. We will get justice" . I sighed and I felt happy. Tomorrow our culprits will get the punishments they deserve. And there will be no one to save them. Jason, already divorced Anna, without our knowing. He said that the woman had been snatching him from his family and he was tired of doing whatever she wanted. My poor brother got his heart broken. But it is okay. He is out of that woman's claws. And thank God that they don't have any kids. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for the family and the kids. I have come
