**Trigger warning** Elena's POV"According to you which punishment will suffix your today's deed?" The color of my face drained as he was sounding dead serious. I know where things are leading now! "I am not going to repeat myself. I want you to answer my every question and that too in words" he placed his intertwined fingers under his chin "So tell me what punishment do you think is best for the stunt that you have pulled today?" "I don't think I deserve any punishment as I have not done anything wrong," I said looking directly into his eyes. "Oh really?" He cocked his eyebrow "You invited your lover to your house, you broke my trust, and most importantly you tried to end your life once again despite my warnings and you are saying that you don't deserve any punishment?" He was saying this like he was counting my crimes. "Yes because I didn't invite him or anyone else to my house, I never asked you

Elena's POV After handing me the small cell phone Raphael left me as he was worried for me. Because in case that devil saw us together then he will again beat me in alone. It is been two days since I have returned to Xaphan's mansion. Xaphan has hired a home nurse for me to make sure that I am having my medicines and food on time. Yet I am missing the emotional touch and care of my mother. In the past whenever I have fallen sick, she has taken care of me. At present, I just want her near me. Although my wounds are healing yet they have left deep scars on my body that are going to remind me of his cruelty every time I will see them. After having fruits and medicines I asked the nurse to vacant the room as I wanted to have some time alone. These days I am not liking anyone around me. After making sure that I am alone in the room I checked the phone given by Raphael to see any message but there was none. I am waiting for

Elena's POV I am stuck 'Between Hell and Heaven'"Do not listen to him Elena, listen to your heart and come with me" Raphael jerked me forward. "Elena, if you take even one more step towards him, the consequences will be disastrous" I looked back at a very furious Xaphan. He was searching for his gun but I guess he doesn't have it at the moment. "Raphael, he has my family under control. I can not let my family suffer because of my selfish motive" my voice was fumbling. "Trust me, Ella. Nothing will happen to your family. Please jump before his men reach out to us" He pulled me forward so now I was standing at the window with my right hand in his. Everything is happening so quickly that I am not able to grasp things properly. I was not expecting Raphael to appear all of a sudden. "Elena, if you jumped I will give the cruelest and painful death to your family" the monster warned me again. 

Raphael's POV It is been two days since that incident. After the doctor plucked out the bullet from my feet and dressed my and Elena's wound, she insisted to meet her family. So I asked one of my men to drop her safely at the place where I have kept her family. Although I wanted to go there with her but my wound didn't let me and I have to send her with someone else. I am so much enraged by the things Xaphan has done to my sunshine that I wanted to pull the trigger and kill him right there and then. But my hands are tied by the promise that I have given to my mother. I have promised her not to kill him by myself and I cannot break that promise. I have to wait for the law to give him his share of punishment. Today, after taking the painkillers I was feeling slightly better so I decided to visit her family and talk to her brother about their security. Their safety is still at stake because Xaphan's father is still out of our reach, h

Elena's POV Bidding adieu to my family was the most difficult task for me. I was overwhelmed with emotions when I hugged the people with whom I have spent my life so far. I don't know when I am going to get this chance again. But this is also crucial for their safety, the same security for which I have lost my everything. If staying away from me can keep them safe then let it be. After they left for our country, Raphael brought me to his home. His mother was pleased to see me. She hugged me tightly the moment she saw me. In her touch, I felt the same warmth as I feel when my mother hugs me. Both of them gave me a warm welcome and allotted me a small room. The house in which they are living is very small and is made up of wood. It is in the middle of the deserted area hidden with trees and bushes from all directions. It is very hard for anyone to reach here and find out about this place. I dropped the bags on the floor and a wild fr
