PAST

Shefali’s POV

My parents had packed their bags.

Waiting.

Of course.

When I needed them the most — they had to leave.

“Dad…” I whispered.

He looked at me — sad, disappointed. Like he couldn’t even meet my eyes.

Did they know?

Mumma cleared the air. “Baby, we’re really sorry. Something urgent came up at the company. We need to go handle it… or we might lose everything.”

I was crushed.

“What the hell is happening?” I snapped.

“The man I love just shunned me. Let me get humiliated in front of his family and friends. And now my parent's are abandoning me.” I wondered.

“Of course, your first baby, Nexure, comes first,” I said bitterly.

“You promised me three months. At least one of you could’ve stayed. But no — the lovebirds can’t stay away from each other even for a day.”

There was a silent conversation between my Mom and Dad as if they were hiding something.

Dad looked really disappointed, and my Mom looked.... guilty?

"Baby…” Dad started.

But I interrupted him.

    But I stopped.Annaida was leaning into him, her hand wrapped around his arm. He smiled at her — soft, familiar, intimate.The floor beneath me felt like it melted away.He saw me.But he didn’t react.When the people around him turned, I saw — his parents, Amyra, and a few others. It looked like an informal meeting. Laughter. Smiles. Familiarity.They walked toward the elevator, and they all noticed me. Each one glanced at me. Some curious. Some cold. Some snobbish.I couldn’t move.Then I heard it.“Who is she? What is she doing here? She looks too young to be your secretary…”Damon’s father’s voice sliced through the room like a blade, sharp and impudent, each syllable soaked in disdain. His gaze swept over me with the cold detachment of someone inspecting a stain on silk—something misplaced, something unworthy.Damon’s mother followed, her tone no softer. “Maybe an intern… but what is she doing on the CEO’s floor?” Her words weren’t questions.They were judgments dressed as curio

    PASTShefali's POV:The next few days passed quietly. Peaceful, yes — but incomplete.I missed him.I kept expecting a call, a message, anything. But Damon didn’t reach out. Not once.Instead, he sent back a few essentials — my laptop, books, notes, innerwears, and some clothes. All branded, all pristine. But none of them felt like mine. The dresses were oversized, baggy, deliberately chosen to cover me up.I laughed when I saw them. His possessiveness was showing. But it was also annoying. I couldn’t wear those to university — not without looking like I’d borrowed someone else’s wardrobe.I knew he’d done it on purpose.I tried calling him. He didn’t answer. I knew I had upset him, but I couldn’t just break the news to my parents or pick him over my parents. It had been five days since I’d seen him. Five days of silence. And it was making me restless.I was using my latest phone and SIM — both gifted by him. But I’d lied to everyone, saying I’d lost my old phone and broken my other,

    PASTShefali's POV:My parents.Dad was impatiently standing near the entryway, and Mom was seated on the couch, her head in her hands, looking worried and tired.I dropped Damon’s hand instinctively.I couldn’t move. Couldn’t speak. The last time we’d talked, I’d lied. Said I was fine. Said I was working late. Said I was always at home, busy studying.Damon stepped in behind me, silently giving me the courage to take a step forward.I stepped inside.“Mumma?” I called.She turned, eyes widening. “Shifu!”She ran to me, arms wrapping around me tightly. “Where were you? We were so worried!”Dad joined her; relief washed over his face. “You didn’t answer your phone, baby. We thought something had happened. Baby, we were so worried…”I didn’t let him finish.“I’m fine, Daddy…” I whispered. “I was just… uhh…. with a friend.”I lied.And I knew the moment I said it — I’d made a mistake.I side-glanced at Damon.His expression changed instantly.Was he pissed?Of course he was.He had just

    PASTShefali's POV: Morning came, but the dread didn’t leave.I woke up tangled in Damon’s sheets, his arm draped over my waist like a claim. His breath was steady, his body warm against mine. But I couldn’t stop the chill crawling up my spine.I hadn’t slept.Not really.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw blood dripping from the punching bag. The limp body in the corner. Damon’s laughter echoing in that dungeon-like room. Ryan’s smirk. Alex’s casual chuckle.They weren’t horrified.They weren’t shaken.They were comfortable.Of course, they were comfortable. They had done that to those two men. Yes, those men were bad news — I knew that. But the state in which I saw them… it was inhuman.And that terrified me.I hadn’t said a word. Not last night. Not this morning. I didn’t dare.What if he knew I’d seen?What if he was waiting for me to bring it up?What if silence was the only thing keeping me safe?I slipped out of bed quietly, tiptoed to the bathroom, and stared at myself in the

    But I knew better.She was whispering something.Probably “Congratulations.”But her lips brushed his cheek, and her eyes flicked sideways — locking onto me with a smirk that screamed challenge.The announcer called some bigshot of boxing, who handed Damon the WBC International Heavyweight Title, congratulating and praising him.The crowd roared.Cameras flashed.But my eyes were fixed on Annaida’s hand on Damon. The way she clung to him and the victory smile plastered on her face.A challenging look in her eyes.Mocking me.I felt small.As if I were nothing.Like I didn’t belong in this world of flashing cameras and designer gowns.Which was the Ultimate Truth.Alex, standing beside me, noticed. He placed a hand gently on my shoulder, trying to ground me, distract me.But it didn’t help.My gaze was locked on Damon.And Damon… he saw it.He saw the way my bright, glowing face dimmed.He saw the way I shrank beneath Annaida’s smirk.He noticed Alex’s hand on my shoulder.And somethin
