1. The Basement!

Emerald's POVThunder roared outside the window, which is tinted black and way out of my reach. It tells me that the world is still behind it and I am not alone behind it. How mocking it is that windows are meant to see the world yet this tint snatched that right from me. I have heard the word 'misery' since childhood, but I didn't know that it could be felt to this extent, where you wish for death desperately. I sometimes think about ending this life for once but I don't have that right either. I am stuck, I am ruined. I don't know what my life has for me. Going out and looking at the sun is just a dream now. I don't even remember the last time I took a bath, the dress on my body has started shredding into pieces, and coldness always takes advantage of it; the cold floor doesn't help either. My tongue has forgotten what food tastes like, and I can feel my body becoming just bones.I am living in hell in this basement for uncountable days, maybe weeks or months, I don't know how lon

2. The False Freedom!

Emerald's POV Even if I lose, there is nothing which I will really lose. I have already lost the right to the lights and there is no possibility he will let me see it again. I still looked between the chess and him, his faint smirk and mischievous eyes. He was waiting for me to play because he knew I didn't dare to say no to him. I lifted my weak hand and made the first move, and his smirk deepened as he made his move. He has something in mind; he has already locked me up, so why would he make me lose in the game I have already lost? This is definitely his sick game.I was sitting there tiredly, my eyes were hardly open due to weakness. My wet dress clung to my body, and the strap fell from my shoulder again. I am too thin for this dress now, I didn't even bother to fix it. It doesn't matter anymore. I looked at him timidly after making a move and he made his, without taking his predatory eyes off me. He always looks at me like I am faking this fear and pain, he thinks I am viciou

3. Bringing her in!

Author's POV Emerald was still on the ground, rain was pouring on her like it was equally angry as Egon. She didn't mind, misery is a part of life. Egon was watching her from the window, and she was drenched in rain. Water was making a puddle around her, yet she wasn't moving. He also knew that she could hardly move due to her weakness. She wasn't passed out yet, he could see her eyes blinking. She was just silently mourning for her sister's death. He loves to see her like that, but she is no longer screaming after the death of her family member. Looks like all screams died with passing counts. It's not as fun as before, as she has stopped screaming, but that doesn't mean he was going to show mercy on her. He looked at the watch. If he kept her out in the rain for long, then she would die, and he didn't want it. She can't die easily. He is going to make it painful for her. "Should I bring her in?"Spider came and stood behind Egon. Spider wants to touch Emerald just one time, eve

4. The Old Me!

Emerald's POV I woke up on the floor, covered in a bedsheet. It's cold and I don't have a bed. He has taken me out of the basement, but I am still being provided with the basement facilities. I don't have a bed, I don't have an air conditioner or a heater, and this room is empty like a jail. Thankfully, it has a good washroom and mirror, surprisingly!It's been a week and I have recovered from my weakness. My body has gained good weight and I am no longer looking like a dead body. I don't know how my body changed within a week after suffering for so long but this is not what really bothers me. I got up from the floor and stood by the window, it's barred and locked, but at least I can see the world outside. Egon has made sure that I don't get the basic facilities like a bed and going out, looks like this is his new way to punish me. He hasn't been here since that day, and he has never given me such a long break. It means he is planning something big, and the thought of that is chur

5. Scared Viciousness!

Author's POV Egon saw how her eyes turned viciousness into fear in seconds after his presence, she was terrified. Her eyes turned glossy as fear spread into her veins. A minute before she was ready to pounce on the doctor like a hungry tigress. If Layla hadn't informed him, then he might have found the doctor dead. This is what amuses him, people fear her, her mere presence makes people sweat, yet she trembles at his mere sight. It took so long to achieve this but they are finally there, where he has crushed her courage. He let go of her jaw and extended his hand towards the doctor, still glaring at Emerald. Her breathing quickened when the doctor grabbed the syringe from the floor and placed it in Egon's hand. Emerald stepped back in panic. She didn't understand why they wanted to inject this medicine into her body so badly. Why is it so important that Egon himself has taken the job into his hands? She feared that they were definitely experimenting with something lethal on her.

6. The Escape!

Author's POV Egon was in front of the big screen attached to the wall of his study room. His eyes were intense, his posture was still, his feet were rooted on the ground and his hands were curled in pockets. The screen's light was burning his eyes, but it wasn't strong enough to compete with the burn in his chest, and no burning can distract his eyes from Emerald's face. She was caged on his screen, and the camera was capturing the smallest detail of her. She was still in the same position he had put her in. Thick hair was sprawled on the mat, hands were resting near the head, long lashes were covering eyes like curtains, milky skin was looking radiant, her rosy lips were parted slightly, and he was struggling to take his eyes away from them. The beauty is ethereal, would melt the stone, innocence was sprawled like gems on a necklace, but it's all a facade, nothing is real. This innocence is deceiving; this woman doesn't know the meaning of innocence. Egon is now secured from her

7. He is everywhere!

Author's POV It was a cold night, she stormed out of the castle, her heart was beating so loudly that she felt dizzy and nauseous at the same time, but it was important for her to escape now or else she could never do it. After so long, she has finally got the chance, and this she is not going to have again. If not now then it's never. She ran as fast as she could, cold wind slapped her bare face. Bare feet suffered on the cruel ground, and the newly recovered body was getting punished in the wild. They are on an Island, it's exclusively owned by Egon, and no one is allowed here except him and his people. Emerald was running, but her mind was still thinking about how to escape from the island. She escaped from the castle, but now what? How is she going to get off the island? She struggled in the wild, the trees grew in weird shapes, or you can say that they are forced to grow like that to slow down enemies. The Whole Island is groomed as per royal needs. She got scratched and fel

8. The Punishment!

Emerald's POVFear will be an understatement to the feeling I have now. Last night, when I saw Egon in the mirror, it was just a hallucination, but now it's not. He is real because those grey orbs can't be just my imagination. And the chaos he has made in the room is the evidence. My body is frozen on the bed because he is lying next to me, shirtless and his chest is covered in blood! His head was resting on his hand, hovering exactly above my face, his elbow had dipped the pillow flat on the bed, and I could feel the heavy weight beside me. Chills ran down my spine when I realised he watched me like this while I was asleep. His smirk deepened when he saw the realisation on my face. The lump in my throat, which I was trying to gulp down, got prominent, and heat spread through my nose, eyes and ears. I could feel my eyes turning glossy, I wanted to speak, but what? I don't have anything to say and he is not going to listen. He is too close to let me breathe without shaking, hot tea

9. Till I Want!

Author's POV His eyes travelled on her as she hid her face in her knees, and silent sobs shook her body. Someone else would have felt guilty, but not Egon. Not him! Because he has seen to what extent this woman can go. She is not an innocent to have pity on.He sat near her feet and wrapped his hand around her ankle, making her look up in defeat. She didn't protest because it wasn't going to stop him; in fact, it was going to make it difficult for her. Egon saw how she was looking at him with a blank face while he tied heavy metal rings around her ankles to stop her from running, he smirked, knowing that she must be thinking about how to kill him after this humiliation. Her ego would never accept what he is doing to her or whatever he was going to do in future. It's so satisfying to scratch her ego again and again. He looked up at her through his eyelashes. She was looking so innocent while getting bound. Her deep emerald eyes stared curiously at the metal around her feet, probabl

10. The Betrayal!

Author's POVThe most foolish thing Egon's bodyguard could do is keep his weapons lying in the car negligently when she is in it, a reward? He got stabbed in the spine, the most important body part which is needed to chase someone when they escape. She is called smart for a reason. Kicking him out of the car was easy after his injury; she couldn't believe that Egon really thought his bodyguard could escort her alone. Now that the steering was in her hands, she was free to go anywhere. The road was huge and wide for her to run wild. Hot tears flowed freely from her eyes as she drove at full speed, not because she was scared of getting caught, but because her mind was not in her control. She crashed and broke everything which came in her way, whether it was barricades or boards. The destination was still blurry, but the pain in her heart was clear and loud. She gritted her jaw hard and crushed the plants near the road, she had gone crazy. The pain was clutching her heart till it suf
