Chapter 8 Stranger in the Bedroom

Shanaya Singhania POV

I got up immediately and was going to close the door. As I closed the door I felt someone was there. I tried to see in the dark but it was just a shadow. Not Just a shadow it was his shadow. It was him. I was still dreaming. How could that be possible??

In milliseconds, I realized that it was someone else. I was getting scared. My heart was racing as that shadow approached me I felt like I was getting short of breath.

I couldn't breathe properly.

I wanted to scream but why couldn't I?? By the time I was back in my senses he was holding my mouth and dragging me to the bed. Someone pushed me hard against the wall. When that person touched my face and tried to lock the door behind me. I was able to smell him and that perfume. How can I forget that?? I was trying to stay calm and was trying to interpret what was going on around me.

He was looking around and that was a chance for me to scream but how could I?? I mustered up the courage but still, I was so stunned and shocked. I was about to cry when he placed his hand on my mouth and I could not do anything. He blocked my voice again. This time I felt like his hands were a little rough.

Ryan had really gentle and soft hands. It can't be him. He was never so strange. He was still putting his hand on my mouth and his other hand was grabbing my arms. I tried to push him away but he wasn't moving.

Cold sensations were rising in my whole body. Was he there?? Was he actually there?? I must be dreaming. How come he be back that too when I was about to get married?? This was just my imagination. He must have forgotten me and would be happy with Chloe.

He used me. Took my advantage and when It was actually time to hold my hand he flew. I could never forgive myself.

A part of me wanted to kill him at that moment. My gun was in my side drawer but I have to get there. But part of me was somehow happy. I was waiting for him to come back. To prove everyone wrong. To tell me that he still loves me. He still wants me. But wait a second. Why would he do that??

He doesn't care for me. He is a liar and besides it was too late. It's of no use. If my Dad would see him he is going to shoot him. He can't expect everything to be okay. He can't expect me to forgive him.

But part of me wanted to hug him. Just Hug him nothing else. And after thinking about everything I knew I had to do one thing.

While he tied up my face and I couldn't talk He was trying to tie up my hand and while he got a bit closer. I smelled him. I felt like it was a dream. I placed my head on his chest and for a moment his hands stopped. He wasn't tieing up my hand anymore.

I was feeling him. I knew it was him. I had no idea what happened but my eyes were flooding with tears. I couldn't control them. I don't know for how long I stayed like that. He didn't move. Not even a bit. I could hear his heartbeat. His rising breath. His emotions. It felt like his heart was going to burst out.

He wasn't hugging me back but he wasn't pushing my head away from his heart. I knew he would never dare to. He always does that. Even when he was hurt he didn't ask me to move away from him. I stayed like that and don't know for how long I had been crying. When I got better. I pulled my head away.

He tied up my hands with the bed and I was so worried. And when he sat beside me. I was not resisting anymore. That feeling and that essence of being around him. I could never ever forget that. He was silent and wasn't saying anything at all. I was unable to understand my feelings. Should I be happy that he was back or should I be angry?

He didn't show up in so many months and now he was back and just when I was going to marry someone else. When I decided to move on. He made my life hell and was again back for doing the same to me. He was silent and I wanted him to talk but he was saying nothing. I was now trying to resist talking to him. To slap him but I couldn't and he was sitting beside me.

I couldn't see his face in the dark. I wanted to talk to him. Although I believed that I hated him but deep down at that moment I just wanted to talk to him. Wanted to ask him why he did that.

Why did he betray me?? Why did he leave me before our wedding?? I was so mad at him.

But before he could do anything rain started heavily. And I was released from the cage all of a sudden and before I could do anything or react he got up.

He went away. I immediately got up and tried to run after him but he didn't stop. I was soaking in rainwater and was looking around. But there wasn't anything in the dark. There wasn't any trace of him. No one.

I was standing on my terrace and I was wet and I was crying and I was so helpless. That person had so much effect on me and still after these years he was making me numb. He was making me helpless. He was making me Miserable and I couldn't help myself out. I might be dreaming. I came back and after changing I lie down and try to sleep. I thought it was a horrible dream.
