shattered vows のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 29

Adyant stumbled through the front door, his vision blurry from the whiskey and the alcohol running inside him. The evening's events replayed in his mind, fueling his jealousy to a huge extent.Vidyut's smile, Veda's laughter, their victorious hug. Every moment taunted him.It haunted him.He staggered upstairs, his footsteps heavy. The bedroom door creaked open, and he entered, slamming it shut behind him.Veda lay asleep, her peaceful face illuminated by the moonlight.She looked serene.Adyant's gaze lingered, his emotions in turmoil as he wished to take her in his arms and punish her with a brutal and rough kiss which she could never forget in all her life.He approached the bed, his movements unsteady. Veda's gentle breathing contrasted with his own ragged gasps."Veda," he slurred, his voice low and husky.Veda stirred, opening her eyes slowly "Adyant? What time is it?"Adyant's eyes narrowed, his jealousy boiling over. "Time…..Yes you had such a good time today. You were enjoyin

Adyant stepped out of his office building, greeted by the warm evening sun. The day had been long and grueling, but his mind wasn't on work. All he could think of was Veda.He had already made sure to block all of Vidyut's phone numbers and he had no interest in hearing that man's nonsense any longer.Adyant's thoughts drifted back towards Veda again. Her word's still lingered in his thoughts: "There's a lot you don't know about me, Adyant. You never tried to know, and maybe... maybe you'll never know."Her words haunted him as the guint gnawed inside his chest continuously.As he walked towards his Mercedes, he noticed a street vendor selling roses and flowers nearby. The vendor's enthusiastic call caught his attention and he looked around to find the man behind him."Sir, take one for your lovely wife! Make her day special!" The man said, showing Adyant all those red roses.Adyant hesitated, but the vendor's words struck a chord inside his heart. He thought of Veda, her gentle smile

Days passed, and Veda's silence grew thicker than ever. Adyant tried to break the ice, but she remained distant.The tension between them remained palpable until one morning, when Adyant's mother burst into their bedroom with a wedding card in her hand."Good news! Your Aarti aunt's son, Anant, is getting married, and we're all invited! We all have to leave for Malabar hills next week and be there until the wedding. Your mausi wants us to attend all the functions there. Adyant's mother beamed.Adyant's expression remained neutral and uninterested but Veda sensed a flicker of interest.She had always loved weddings and functions while Adyant had never been fond of them."When is the wedding?" Veda asked, trying to sound enthusiastic."In two days. We'll leave tomorrow morning," Adyant's mother replied, beaming with joy.Adyant groaned inwardly.A wedding. Forced proximity with Veda, and he wasn't sure if he was ready to face her again.In the past he never wanted to spend any time wit

Veda walked alongside Adyant, the garden's serene atmosphere contrasting with the turmoil inside both of them.His proximity stirred enormous anger which she'd rather forget.She didn't want his closeness to affect her.She didn't want to be shattered by him yet again.As they strolled together, Adyant held her hand in a tight grip. Veda froze but didn't say anything. Adyant wasn't speaking either. He just continued to walk around with her, entwining their hands together aa if he didn't want to let go.She had a feeling that he wanted to say something but was hesitating and changing topics in front of her.He pointed at the areas needing attention for the wedding. Veda listened intently, her responses neural though her heart thudded inside her chest from Adyant's close proximity.Their conversation flowed like a delicate dance, each step carefully choreographed. But beneath the surface, tensions simmered.Adyant's gaze drifted to Veda's hands, her fingers brushing against the flower

Adyant's eyes slowly opened, his face still buried in Veda's neck. The warmth of her skin and the gentle rise and fall of her chest lulled him into a peaceful state the whole night. He breathed in deeply, inhaling the sweet scent of her hair.As he lifted his head, Veda stirred, her eyes fluttering open. Their gazes met, and for a moment, they just looked deep at each other. The desire between them was undeniable."Good morning, Veda," Adyant whispered, his voice husky and laced with emotion.Veda's gaze locked onto his, and Adyant saw the faintest glimmer of vulnerability in her brown orbs. Her voice was barely audible. "Good morning."Adyant's eyes roamed her face, taking in the gentle curves and the faint blush rising to her cheeks. Without thinking, he brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, his fingertips grazing her soft skin.Veda's pulse quickened, her heart racing as she felt the touch deep within her, stirring all those emotions which she had been trying hard to bury insid
