Author's POVEmerald watched him as he stared at her with a heavy heart."We will talk about that too. Let me deal with Ara first."There was a hope in her heart that he would let her go, she had opened the door of her freedom, but she couldn't trust him. Not until he actually let her go. He knows how to manipulate the situation in his favour. But she decided to stay back for some time because he was still processing the matter of his sister. Arabella took a seat on the couch. Egon sat in front of her, he was already looking like a stressed brother whose sister had fallen for a street-side Romeo. "They purchased you in an auction!"He was mad. "Because I was sold as a slave, that's what my life was."She replied bluntly. Egon clenched his jaw. "I dare you to say that word in front of me again.""I know how to deal with them."She tried to calm him down. "Of course you can but they are not worthy of you."He shook his head. "Look at you, they sent you here alone. Don't have t

Author's POVEmerald was sitting like a statue of stone while Layla was getting herself readyHer mother was sitting in the same room, watching her silently. "You are ready!"Layla stepped back from her. Emerald refused to see herself in the mirror, she was not courageous enough to look at herself as a bride now. It was a dream once but now it's a nightmare. Layla walked out leaving her alone with the mother. Emerald got up to leave but her mother called her. They talked, and Emerald walked out alone. She stepped out and could feel her body feeling the pain of her soul; her feet never felt so heavy. She never felt so suffocated.If it weren't for her mother, then she would have ended all of this for good. Now she realised why the mad King always advised her to detach from emotions, because this is where emotions betray you. She froze when she saw people waiting for them, all eyes were on her. Laughing at her silently, mocking her with eyes, showing pity on her and whatnot. Thi

Author's POVEmerald smiled bitterly. "You are the first man who didn't need my name to call me by my name... Feels like you were the only one who was supposed to know me."Egon took a deep breath, realising he had her real name while searching for it."Emerald!"She smiled sadly when a lone tear escaped his eyes while he stared at the Ocean with a heavy heart, that one tear was heavier than the ocean in front of her."Mom once said, Love will find me. I don't have to chase anything for that. One day, someone will come, and he will see the little caged girl behind this cruel queen; he will heal me. He will free me... He will know the real me... When you called me Emerald for the first time, it clicked! I knew you were the man I wanted and everything was going perfectly... We were in love, healing and loving each other, but I should have known that the world wasn't pleased about my happiness... Mad King found out about our relationship earlier than he should have... That day we had th

Egon's POV I thought I wouldn't feel more intense pain than my family's death but I was wrong. My heart is slowly shattering into pieces whenever I look in her eyes. She was also a victim, I destroyed her. How could I not try to understand her side? I loved her, I should have trusted her, but I didn't. I failed to trust my love and trusted my father instead. He had warned me that she could destroy me, and the moment I heard news of my family's accident, the warning turned into reality. I was too blinded by the rage that I couldn't see her innocence. Fuck, why did this happen to me? Why do I have to lose all the people I love? I am her culprit, the monster who destroyed her. I feel ashamed when I think about what I have done to her. She was a queen, I kept her in my basement. She deserved my love, but I gave her only fear. Touching her feels like a sin now, a monster like me doesn't deserve to even touch her.My heart churned when I thought, what if I had killed her? I closed

Author's POVAfter six months..."Ruby, breakfast is ready..."Their mother, Martina informed while setting plates. "Mom, why are you doing this... We have maids for this... You should rest."Ruby sat at the table."Shut up! I am your mother and this kitchen belongs to me... I have fired the cook."She sat in her chair. Ruby chuckled."You are great!""Call your sister, where is she?"Martina asked."She must be sleeping in her room... She slept late last night."Ruby informed."Why?"Martina frowned."Was she getting nightmares again?"Ruby sighed as her eyes watered."Yes, Mom. I can't see her like this, she screams in her dreams. She calls Egon, begs him to hold her in sleep, and when she wakes up, she forgets everything... I can't see her in this condition, she is struggling... She needs Egon, only he can comfort her..."Martina also looked sad."Can you try to talk to Egon?... Tell him that she is suffering, and we should stop giving her that drug. Why are they torturing themse
