My Tormentor Is My Lover [Tormentor Series #2] 10. Daddy!!
ROSEI stepped into the conference hall with deliberate slowness, my heels echoing sharply against the marble floor. The room fell into an immediate, suffocating silence, except for the shrill voice of the one woman I had come here to confront and put a stop to her stupidity. The same one who had dared to call my child a bastard.“The meeting was scheduled twenty minutes ago,” Mrs Singh announced, smug and condescending.I offered her a smile that didn’t reach my eyes. “I’m aware. I was running late… intentionally.”Gasps flickered across the room, and I could see as confusion clouded their carefully schooled expressions. But I didn’t care for their judgment. I wasn’t here to be liked. I was here to remind them who the hell I was.Before anyone could question me, I spoke again, my voice as sharp as broken glass. “I just stumbled upon an interesting rumor today. Or should I say, a steaming pile of bullshit?”I saw it immediately. The way spines stiffened, chairs creaked, and throats we

ROSE Everything was fuzzy. The last seven days— I didn’t remember any of it. But I remembered the days before that, all the days I had spent with him, wrapped in his arms. Yeah, that was my bad luck. One moment, I was smiling like crazy; the next, I was crying like a broken record. I knew it must be the effects of all the bottles I had drained over the past week. God bless alcohol— at least half of the time, I felt numb to the rage and the thunderstorm of sorrow. I missed him like my next meal. I wanted him like my next breath. And… I was seeing triple. "Ha… guess I finally had enough," I hiccupped, then burst into a full-bellied laugh until tears rolled down my cheeks. "I fell in love!" I shouted into the emptiness of my apartment. "I gave him my heart, and he paid me back with heartache. But that wasn’t the only thing he gave me." I stood up from where I was sitting on the floor in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and swayed on my feet. "He left me this," I muttered, wa

ROSEIt had been days since I’d even looked at my phone. After calling him again and again the day he left and hearing nothing, I’d tossed it into a corner like a cursed object.But now as it rang, hope flickered to life inside me. Monica said, “Oh, I found your phone under the loveseat. It was switched off, so I charged it. There are loads of messages from Natasha. She’s been trying to reach you. I didn’t know what to say to her, so I haven’t picked up any of her calls.”The mention of my best friend brought a fragile smile to my lips. “It’s okay, Monica. Thank you. I’ll talk to her. I don’t want her to worry. She’s probably enjoying her honeymoon right now.”Monica didn’t respond immediately. She just looked at me. She knew. She always knew. But being the kind of friend she was, she didn’t say a word about the storm behind my eyes.“I’ll leave you to it, then.”“No.” I grabbed her hand, my voice barely functioning. “Don’t go. I don’t want to be alone.”Her eyes shimmered, and she t

ROSE“Are you not coming back to work?” Monica asked from beside me where we both were lying on the bed and watching the reruns of Friends. My hand was half way to my mouth, I was about to pop up some more chips into my mouth when her question registered. I put the chips back in the bowl as I pursed my lips and tried to think of an eligible answer. In truth, I really didn’t want to sit at home and wallow in self pity. It has been ten days since my short trip to hospital and I had learned my lesson, or at least I thought that I had, except at night when I was alone in the darkness of my room.Shaking my head, I replied, “No, I’m not going to come back to office.” When Monica started to open her mouth, no doubt to give me a lecture about how I couldn’t waste my life because of him and all, because she had already done that with Natasha by her side. Yeah, now my best friend knew too what a heartbroken mess I was. “Actually, I have decided to look for something else to do. Don't worr

ROSETwo weeks later…Something was wrong with me. One moment I was happy and in the next I was sad, bawling my eyes out like a crazy mad woman. It happened five times in the last three weeks. First was when I was with Michael and he had taken me to a non-date date (yeah, he knew I wasn’t ready and I knew he wanted to take me on a date, so we settled on a non-date date). When we had finished our dinner, Michael had surprised me with the best chocolate cake I had ever have the fortune to eat. It was the first sign for me that I was slowly going crazy. The moment our waiter had placed the cake in front of me, I was smiling like I had never in my entire life eaten a cake and then after just two bites I was crying._“Are you okay, Rose? What happened? Is something wrong with the cake?” Michael’s happy face was suddenly turned into a concerned one, and he had fired his questions one after the other in rapid succession.“It’s so yummy.” I had replied, tears still trailing down my cheeks

ROSE For the second time I woke up in the darkened hospital room, this time alone. As I looked through my blurry eyes, I realised that it was the same room and same hospital in which I had woken up seven days after he disappeared from my life. I blinked a few more times thinking why I couldn’t see properly and realised a moment later when I felt the wet trails on my temple. Fuck! What was wrong with me? I was a crying mess and I was tired of crying! I just wanted to feel nothing. It was too damn much. I couldn’t stop this churning in my stomach. I couldn’t understand what I had become. I wasn’t this person. I couldn’t even imagine how I had come to this. No one would believe me if I told them that I was the same woman who had been kidnapped and suffered near rape. And still managed to live on. But, here I was, a hollow shell of a person I once was. I felt sorry for the woman I was, a woman who knew how to fight, who was stronger than I was now but now I was nothing like her.

ROSEI couldn’t believe it. I was pregnant. I was fucking pregnant with his baby.With Ryan Johnson’s baby. Oh god. I was pregnant with a baby whose father left me and was now in another country, probably with another woman. But as I sat there with that knowledge, surprisingly that thought didn’t upset me as much as it did before. Now it just made me fucking furious. If only I got my hands on him! The fucking bastard!A week has passed since the day I got to know that I was pregnant. And, I was still upset with Michael for hiding it from me for those few weeks before I had went on a suicide spree. I couldn’t bring myself to believe that either. That I, Rose Kapoor, fell down this deep into the well of my misery and tried to end my fucking life. And I hadn’t known that it wasn’t just me. With my stupid actions, I would’ve not only hurt myself but also my baby.My hand dropped to caress my still flat stomach as I thought about how I could have hurt this little life growing inside

RYAN"Ryan!"I looked up at my best friend, pulled put from my memories to the present I hated because she wasn’t in it.“You need to stop ruining your fucking life,” Arjun growled, his face lined with worry and anger.When I turned away from him to look at the pictures of my lioness, he started collecting the photos, stacking them haphazardly.“Stop,” I said.He didn’t. He kept stacking them over each other, not caring when the corners bend. “You need to forget her, if you’re not going back or not bringing her here where she belongs-““Leave them.” I gritted out.He ignored me as he continued, “Then you bloody well need to keep it together and forget about her.” He kept shoving them inside the folder unceremoniously, not caring a little bit when one of the photos folded in half.“I said leave them,” I pushed him away with both my hands on his chest. “Don’t touch them!” I snapped.I gathered the photos again, smoothing each one with careful fingers, putting them back where they belon
My Tormentor Is My Lover [Tormentor Series #2] 8. My lioness. My warrior. My ruin.
RYANSomeone was shaking me, hard, and for a terrifying second, it felt like the whole goddamn world was shaking with it. A hand clamped down on my shoulder, rough and urgent, yanking me from the murky depths of unconsciousness. I groaned and tried to shrug it off, but my limbs were heavy, too drunk or too numb to respond.“Wake the fuck up, Ryan.”The voice was familiar, words said through gritted teeth, raw with frustration. Arjun. My best friend was here.The next thing I felt was water. Ice cold. A full glass of it raining down over my head, soaking my hair and shirt, dragging me violently into the present. I gasped as the cold clawed at my skin, making me shiver. “What in hell—” I sputtered, my eyes opening as much as they could at the moment, and hands flailing to push him back, to swing at him, but I missed by a mile.“You tell me, what the hell is going on?” Arjun shouted his voice rising an octave.I blinked through the water dripping into my eyes, focusing on his face. He
My Tormentor Is My Lover [Tormentor Series #2] 7. New Managing Director
ROSEI stepped into the same glass and steel fortress where I’d once lived a thousand lifetimes in the span of weeks. The same office building where my world had first begun to unravel. Where I’d been blackmailed. Humiliated. Punished.And cherished.Where I’d fallen for the man who had ruined me and yet held me like I was sacred. Like he was made to destroy and protect me in the same breath. I felt the memories rushing back in as I crossed through the entrance lobby. But I had become pretty good at stopping them, barricading them out of my mind and heart so that it won’t hurt any longer. I had turned it into a much better emotion that will suit me for what I had to do now… Because, I think, now, it was my time to exact my revenge. It’s my time to have control. As I passed by the familiar faces, I pasted a wide smile on my lips, hiding everything I was feeling and marched towards the hallway for the elevators. But before I could reach the elevator, I was stopped by that same stupid
