BROKEN BY THE GANGSTER'S OBSESSION

I could've just stayed at home instead of going out listening to my best friend, things wouldn't have happened like this.

That night his body was on top of mine and I didn't object either, actually I was the one who took the initiative to begin with.

"I want to hear you moan, remove your hands." his horny voice got stuck in my ear as I covered my mouth to suppress my whimpers when he laid his hands on my bare body ripping my clothes apart.

It was his scent that was making me crazy, it was just a one-night stand for me as I've had a series of heartbreaks and wouldn't want to fall in love again. Our bodies collided and a sly smile escaped from his mouth curving his lips, he was hungry and it would be better if this sex doesn't have a meaning for him either.

But who knew, I've left an impression on this bastard. I could see him losing his mind as his lips landed on mine but it's just sex, right?

"Fuck, you make me crazy" the devil spoke again and I could feel the heat reaching up to my face.

I expect him not to fall for me, it's just a one-night stand. That's what I thought until I realized I couldn't stop thinking about him.

It was all my fault, for kissing him first as now he was obsessed over me. I just slept with him, but he had the power to manipulate everyone and kidnapped me keeping me trapped in these four walls.

I wanted to live happily but now I'm locked in this room which gives me nothing but tears.

That dirty night took my everything, when I wanted to have a fling for the first time and won't get serious about anyone anymore, he occupied my mind.

If only I knew I was sleeping with a mafia, I would've backed off immediately running from that place. But his huge well-formed physique was on top of my body which made my heart pound not leaving any space to question my decision once.

I reached home and realized that my mother sold me to someone and ordered me to marry a stranger while I just had sex with a guy whom I can never forget about.

I was an average girl who got stuck in the mafia world and can't see any way out of it until I accept him as my lover. But I couldn't as this wasn't right.

He treated me like an object by trading me and I can't let my morals down for a jerk. I wouldn't deny the fact that I've have feelings for him, but I'll bury them deep down.

He was the one with brown eyes, milky white skin and a huge gummy smile which made my heart flutter every time our eyes met. But I couldn't walk over my dignity falling for a man who lives under bullets and also treats people like objects.

He had no sign of humanity and that gave me enough reason to stop my heart's rapid beating. But is it possible to stay sane with his charms?

I wanted to hate him for putting me in such a situation but my heart didn't follow. I wanted him but was forced, I'm doomed.

SARAH-

I never thought something like this would happen, I was an average girl who wouldn't be called pretty or ugly. I was somewhere on the scale of 5 from 1 to 10. So, some guys would date me and some would hate me.

Hi, I'm Sarah Bert, a second-year student who lives in Delhi, I go through my days reading novels and eating. I, to some degree had interest in cooking however would make nothing scrumptious. Once, I made pasta and my boyfriend broke up with me, I was unable to find the reason until I ate it myself, he couldn't handle something beyond tasty, his fault. My love life has forever been problematic as I got cheated on several times.

[Sorry, I like her more. She has something you don't. It was only an excursion, can't completely accept that you really thought I loved you. How about we part ways, I'm tired and you suffocate me. I slept with that girl; you don't turn me on. We should separate Sarah. We should end this. We should part ways. Sarah, I'm too good for you.]

My exes sucked, I favored trustworthiness over lust however I got guys who were different from me consequently, got dumped without fail. There was this person I used to date; he really liked me essentially, he said as much. Later I figured out he was going behind my back with my senior, what's more terrible that he even defied me. He wasn't embarrassed by any means and told everything as though he was glad for it.

I believe I'm too credulous and that makes me significantly more stupid, I trust everybody effectively and winds up crying without fail. I cried each time somebody would break up with me and would feel that it's the apocalypse. Despite the fact that, I never quit attempting and decided to never give up in order to find my true love.

But it's in the past and I have moved on as I finally found a guy who appreciates me for who I am. Hardin was my fiancé I was in love with and we were supposed to get marry soon.

I was looking forward to our wedding very much and bought so many things out of excitement. My best friends Allie and Tessa helped me a lot in the process which made me feel blessed for having people like them in my life.

I went to Hardin's house in order to surprise him but got shocked instead. He was sleeping with my friend Allie and I felt like someone banged my head on the wall non-stop.

My fiancé cheated on me with my best friend and I lost trust from everything, my world was crumbled instantly as a bride starts dreaming various things prior to her marriage but this creature even took the right to dream from me.

I didn't fight with him finding him not worth the trouble and threw the ring on their naked body breaking off the engagement. I acted tough even though I wasn't and ran out of his house.

I pivoted in frustration as tears moved down my eyes, how might individuals carry on this way. God made people however neglected to add mankind in them.

I ran and began crying terribly and sat on the ground without caring about my surroundings. The cars were moving around me and people were shouting on me to get aside but I didn't care about anything.

People around me play me like a puppet and I banged my hand on the street in order to resist my crying but ended by shouting noisily as tears made a flood around me.

"Papa, what aren't you here, my life is a wreck without you." I cried noisily and got all wet.

I wanted a car to crush me or I should die from the thunder and it suddenly began raining. Even God wasn't with me and the only thing left was for the lightening to fall on me.

"Your death is inevitable, either from the vehicles or the cold." I gazed upward and saw a person standing directly before me. I wiped my tears and extended my hand ahead for him to assist me with standing up.

"What? I'm not worried, I simply didn't have any desire to kill someone right now, the vehicle killing you ought not be mine." He said and pointed his vehicle which he needed to stop as a result of me. I overlooked his words and couldn't dwell onto them but was suspicious of him as he said, desire to kill someone right now. Is he a mafia? Or a thug?

"Sorry! It's just a bad day" I picked my things up and wore my specs, everything got clear and I got to saw his face. He had dark brown hair and eyes with an evil smile on his face probably making fun of me.

"Did I ask? Get aside." He said again. What an arrogant man, he doesn't know how to treat people with respect.

"Jerk" I mumbled but he heard it and grinned in my direction.

I walked aside in order to let him pass, his car looked luxurious and he wore black suit. He drove off staring at me, I finally spoke.

"People like you should die." I shouted at him while he was driving.

He stopped his car and I saw red lights, he probably heard it. He got down from his car and I started running in fear. I'm living in the wrong century; I'm not meant to be in this world. He ran after me but I had a lead so the distance he had to cover was huge.

He looked like a man who works, but still has time to chase people down, I was somehow relaxed as he was far from me but when I turned around to look where he was, I saw him standing right behind me.

"Whoa, are you an athlete?" I asked as I bumped into him.

"What were you saying." He said and held my wrist tightly.

"Sir, I was... saying... have a safe trip. I might've wasted your time." I said laughing nervously and tried to free myself from his grip but he had no intention to let me go.

"This is definitely not known as paraphrasing, you literally changed the whole sentence, huh!" he said and pushed me towards the tree.

"Sir, I need to go, my dad's calling me." I said again resisting his strength trying to push him away from me.

"Yeah?" he got exceptionally close to me and limited my options by holding both of my hands.

How much more do I have to suffer, today's quota had been completed. I started crying loudly and couldn't bare everything that has happened today.

"Daddy, please come and help me." I cried horribly in front of a stranger. My eyes were closed and he finally let go of me.

"Why are you crying?" he asked and moved away from me.

"Because it's too much for me to handle, he...... and you and them. It's a lot to take" I cried and kept my shoulder on his head unknowingly.

He didn't do anything but stood straight, I didn't know why he wasn't reacting or pushing me away and I didn't even care about the details. Rain poured on us while we were embracing each other, he managed to block the wind as I was shivering and felt his hands around me. It felt good after such an unexpected break-up even though it was for a short while. His phone rang and he lastly pushed me away.

"Hello, yes brother. I'm coming right now." He said and looked at me. The look on his face changed as he heard his brother's voice. How quickly he turned into a weakling from a dominant person.

"Go back to your father, he would be worried." He said and rushed towards his car, I felt my heart jolt for a stranger and he looked in my direction one last time before sitting in his car.

I couldn't understand this sudden feeling and kept my hand on my heart to stop its rapid beating, he would've literally crashed me with his car or killed me with a knife. Why would I possibly put my head on his damn shoulder?

I walked on the road and looked around, everyone except me was smiling. One of them was talking on his phone, the other one was walking with someone, all of them had something in common. All of them were smiling and looked happy. I knew what was the difference between them and me.

"I vow not to fall in love with anyone, this world is full of brutality and unkindness, there is no such thing like love and I would stay away from things like this. I would never look at anyone with eyes filled with care, I would never feel anything and become stone-hearted. I, Sarah Berk, would never forget this day and the vow I made." I said and joined my hands and it stopped raining, I took it as a sign and started walking.

I wanted to find someone who truly loved me and realized it late that no one would love a girl like me. I was full of myself and thought people actually want me or this world only has people like me. I was honest and honesty doesn't get you anywhere, this world is full of heartless people who thrive for everything but humanity.

I was wet and looked terrible, no wonder people stared at me strangely, I got home and saw a slipper flying in my direction but I successfully dodged it. My mom was angry at me for being late. This isn't something new, it happened on a daily basis.

My mother never loved me, even though I was the only child in the family, perhaps that's why she didn't love me. She would beat me or scold me even lock me in a room for days and I could never do anything about it. After dad's death it's always been like this and I didn't have the courage to go against it.

Sometimes I think this world is too heartless for me to be in here, I should've been born into a different universe were, there would be a different Sarah, much better than me. Probably her father would be alive and her mother loved her. God, I'm already jealous of her.

"Ya! Where were you?" I saw another slipper flying in my direction and hit me hard on my face.

"What? God has given you mouth to talk just use it; violence was never appreciated." I shouted in frustration.

"Where did you go, looking like an animal." She shouted again.

"I'll get my salary tomorrow if that's what you're worried about." I said and ran upstairs.

I was desperately in need of some love and she wasn't helping, she always cared about the money that I earn and would snatch it from on every 18th. She didn't just stop right here, as she ran after me.

"What do you want? I need to sleep" I said with tears in my eyes.

"If only I had a son, I wouldn't be living in this hell. Your father died and didn't take you along. Now I'm tired of you. You broke the engagement too? You can't even have a man wrapped around your fingers." She said and sat on the floor.

I was already in pain and could see myself going insane as she spoke nuisance. Love was all I ever wanted but she couldn't even give me that. My mom hates me for............... being me. She wanted a son who would earn for her, or she wanted me to marry someone rich so that she can live in happiness.

"You should marry a rich man and live your life, like you always wanted to, if all you crave for is money." I shouted back and she slapped me hard on my face.

I ran upstairs and closed the door behind me, I couldn't stop my tears and broke out. It was hard for me to handle the pain, not only the breakup was tough but her words pierced my heart. She mentioned my dad but didn't speak anything good about him. I've never seen such a ruthless mother. I tried everything but it didn't work, I was unable to stop my tears from falling. I don't want to cry for a jerk like him who broke up with me when I was just healing.

"Just end my desolation, I don't believe in love anymore but can't handle this torture." I cried noisily and jumped on my bed.

I closed my eyes, and saw the face who embraced me earlier. I unknowingly smiled as his face entered inside my brain.

"What are you thinking? What about the vow you made? No feelings for anyone, remember? I slapped myself lightly and cried again after realizing the mess I am in.

SARAH-

I don't know when I fell asleep but saw my bedsheet wet from tears, I wept all night long and there was no one to comfort me. Usually my best friend, Tessa would miraculously call me at such times but today I didn't hear anything from her. I grabbed my phone and it rang, it was Tessa and I smiled as her name popped on my screen.

"Girl, what took you so long to pick that shit up?" She said and I smiled horribly.

"Oh! Sorry I ran, 0.000000000001 milli-seconds late." I said and forgot all my worries.

We've known each other for years now, she knew my situation and supported me every time. She would stop me while someone would ask me out but I never listened to her and ended up crying every time.

She would never look down on me or make fun of me saying, you should've taken my advice but only helped me getting through the hard times.

"I'm going to the salon, you should come. Uh! It's not a request darling, bye-bye." She said and hung up.

I didn't even get the chance to say no, or show my unhappy face. Now, I had to go and God knows what's gonna happen.

Tessa was about to pick me up and we would to go the salon, I've had enough of heart break and was done with my mother's taunting. I'm done being innocent and naïve and would become the most selfish person on the earth who would only care for just I, me and myself.

I waited for Tessa usually she was always on time but was running late today, it was eighteenth today and I would be paid by my boss', I worked part-time and would go to college on weekdays. I had to hide from my mother and snuck out early in the morning. I didn't want her to catch me and I would have to start my day on the off-end.

"Where were you? I've been standing here since morning." I said as I saw Tessa's red sports car approaching towards me, perks of being a daughter of a business man.

"I lost track while watching Ninja Hattori." She said and I knew she was very fond of cartoons but I never knew what she always talked about.

"What? What's that? I only know Nobita." I said as I've only seen Doraemon that too when I was a child.

"You know, in which Amara would disguise into an old lady and would fool Hattori, no? Doesn't ring a bell?" she said again, she didn't have any intention to stop and was persistent on explaining shit I'm not interested in.

"Stop, stop it. Ugh! My life sucks already." I yelled as she talked about some random cartoon characters which were only rising my temper up.

She started laughing and I felt rage rushing in my veins. I wanted to punch the shit out of her but I just can't hit my best friend.

"You can't punch me, can you? Ha-ha-ha, never mind, today's expense is on me." She said and I smiled finally. She was the daughter of a rich businessman and would spend money like they meant nothing.

My mother would treat me nicely only in Tessa's presence but Tessa was aware of her wickedness so she never fell for my mother's cheap ticks. I was never friends with her for money, it's just that she was like an angel to me and would rescue me from every disaster of my life.

"C'mon, let's fix you inside" she said as stopped the car in front of the salon as we arrived at the destination.

Tessa insisted on my makeover and went outside to buy some clothes for me, everything was set up and my eyes went wide as I saw myself in the mirror. It became difficult for me to recognize myself as I never looked this good, no wonder I got dumped so many times.

My specs were gone and my outfit was on point, people were staring at me in awe as I myself was overwhelmed. Tessa paid her and we walked outside, I finally smiled after the past shitty days I've gone through. Tessa went to buy some drinks and I walked alone on the street.

"Owww" I yelled as I bumped into something while walking and all of my things fell on the floor.

I looked up and a huge man was standing right above my head, I could sense darkness all around him even though he wasn't doing much. He turned around and smirked at me while continuously gazing at me with his mouth wide open.

"Sorry" I said and started picking my stuff. He pretended to be kind and helped me pick my things up but only gave me creeps.

He was simply staring at me and both of us stood up, I tried to take my things from him but he held onto them firmly, anger rushed in my veins but seeing the number of men surrounding him was terrifying.

"It's mine, do you want them instead?" I said taunting him and he still chose to stay quiet.

"Sarah? C'mon. Let's go" I heard Tessa shouting in my direction and I snatched whatever I could from his hands.

"What took you so long?" I ran towards her while keeping everything back into my bag and grabbed a cup of coffee from her hand.

"Who's that? Tall, dark and handsome? Huh?" she said ridiculing me and I turned around to take a sneak peek.

He was still staring at me and I couldn't understand what was wrong with him. He was holding my hairpin in his hands but I didn't have the gut to go back and ask him for it, also I have the other one with me so that's not an issue.

"I bumped into him, nothing else. Let's go" I said and started walking.

"He's smart though, don't you think?" she said and gave me an evil laugh.

"No, he's not. Don't you see his bodyguard, he looks like a mafia." I said while taking a sip, I used to love the Starbuck's Hazelnut Bianco Latte and Tessa always knew what I favored.

We walked while talking what happened and she comforted with the best way possible, I didn't tell her the incident where I kept my head on a stranger's shoulder and he literally hugged me. She would've beaten the shit out of me. We sat in the car and it started to get dark.

"Let's go to Holding's wings." Tessa suggested and I nodded in acceptance.

'Holding's wings' was the famous bar across Delhi, we weren't regular, but would go there some time, it was said that the mafia, Bar holding was the owner of the pub and people feared that man. The Holding's were the known mafia and they lived as per their wish. I didn't know about them a lot, but knew the basics and wasn't interested much either.

We drove off and stopped in front of the bar. I for once felt confident about myself and stepped inside. We were giggling over nothing and walked inside. We drank a couple of drinks and moved onto the dance floor.

I wasn't drunk yet and could see everything clearly, my phone rang and I saw my mother's text to rush back home. I didn't want to go or else she would beat me terrifically as she hasn't received the money yet. That's the reason I can think of, it's not that she is worried for me.

I went to the bartender and ordered loads of vodka. Tessa was dancing with someone but who cares if she was having fun, I drank another shot of vodka. It was definitely helping and I was gradually losing my senses.

I drank shot after shot until my head started spinning, I went towards the dance floor and started dancing. I could hear people hooting for me, I knew how to dance and losing myself in alcohol only improved my moves. A huge crowd was gathered around me and I could feel boys touching my body.

I felt uncomfortable but didn't have the strength to push them, I felt someone grabbing my hand and led me out of the crowd. I tried to resist but he had gripped his hand firmly and it became impossible to free myself.

"Leave me alone." I yelled in a drunk voice and opened my eyes. He seemed familiar but I couldn't remember where have I seen him. I tried to focus on his face and started touching his eyes and lips while he was standing still without letting me go.

"What were you doing? Didn't you see the number of men walled around you?" he seemed angry and frustrated at me for some reason but I busy remembering who he was.

"I've seen you somewhere. Who are you? Where have I seen you?" I said again analyzing his feature and clung onto him. My fingers were on his face feeling what he looked like while my other hand was on his shoulder and I could feel the closeness between us.

"I was able to recognize you even after such a drastic change, but you are just too dumb." He said and pressed his finger on my forehead to push me away from him.

"Huh? You like it, you know my friend over there told me to have a make-over and I became beautiful. Now, no one would ever dump me." I said while finding Tessa in the crowd and again went closer to him.

"Why did you drink so much? You can't even stand straight, what if someone takes advantage of you?" he said, while grabbing my hand. His voice was familiar but I couldn't recall where have I seen him. The alcohol gets the best of me.

"No, I trust you...... you won't let anyone do anything to me." I said and smiled at him.

"Is that so?" he was shocked at first but finally spoke, he grabbed my hand and threw me in the crowd. I could again feel several hands on my body while he was simply staring at me.

I was dizzy and couldn't think clearly as everything seemed blur and my body was only feeling uncomfortable seeing so many men around me. I felt tears dripping from my eyes and I shouted in irritation, I wasn't leading anyone on but was crowded in the middle of hungry animals.

I looked at him and he wasn't breaking the eye contact either, he was standing like a puppet who threw me into the fire. I felt my hands rising up and I punched one man out of frustration. I still wasn't avoiding his eyes while I managed to stand up but got lead down again.

He finally strolled towards me, and glared at all men grabbing my hand and lead me out of the crowd, I wasn't impressed because he the one who put me into that situation in the first place. Everyone scattered around as they saw him in anger and minded their own business, they might know who he is or were scared of him.

"Ugh, what a pain in the ass." He said while taking me upstairs. He opened the door and we walked inside, I was shocked and couldn't act until I got conscious enough and jerked his hand off.

"Leave me, don't act like a saint now. I'm glad I don't remember you." I yelled at him and walked away from him. I guess he was the one I bumped into, early in the morning as I got the same creepy vibes.

"I just showed you the reality, where you can't trust anyone." He said and took a step in my direction.

"Why bother pulling me out of that mess then?" I said and walked another step away from him.

"Maybe because, I want something from you." he said and took another step at me. I could feel where this was going and saw sweat trickling from my forehead.

"Just let me go." I said and moved backwards, my back hit the wall and knew I've reached the dead end. I could run from this place and was too drunk to fight him. I saw this guy and remembered the darkness which was terrifying and I didn't want to be with him another second.

"I haven't even held you yet." He said and got exceptionally close to me.

I could feel his scent and it felt similar, he wasn't the guy I bumped into today but the guy whom I hugged yesterday. His calm scent dropped the fear rushing inside of me and I recalled what he looked like. I was slowly getting into my senses as his body got even closer to mine.

"You're the guy, who hugged me yesterday." I said while looking into his eyes and he finally moved back and sat on the bed with his legs crossed.

"You hugged me first, to be more precise." He said and smirked at me. My mind hindered and was all over the placed as I smelled his scent and walked towards him.

"You're still a jerk and I hate you for what you did." I said while roaming around and stopped when I found a bottle of whiskey lying on the table.

"For embracing you or for taking you out of that crowd?" He said while checking me out.

"Maniac." I said while sitting next to him and taking a sip from the bottle.

"Haven't you had enough?" he said and snatched the bottle from my hand. He didn't hesitate for a bit and drank it without minding me.

"That's mine." I said trying to snatch it back from him but he was too determined and didn't want me to drink anymore.

"You've had enough, just go home." He said while taking another sip of it. The whiskey never felt so tempting but now, I could even die for it.

I grabbed his ear and pinched him harder, I didn't care what was his personality like, was he rude or serious and egocentric, it didn't matter as I just wanted that bottle from him.

"Aww! Okay! Okay! I give up." He said while raising his hands in the air and I thought he finally gave up. But instead drank another sip mocking me.

"Huh? You---" I got angry as he drank my whiskey and I sat on his lap and kissed him. He couldn't gulp it down yet and I sucked it out of his mouth into mine. He was dumbfounded seeing me on top of him but I didn't stop.

"Gross." He said and pushed me away from him. I was looking at him while wiping my mouth and we didn't break the eye contact.

We were continuously looking at each other and I gulped the remaining alcohol down and licked my lips lustfully. I don't know what I was doing or why was I seducing him but I wanted him to endeavor me and I could feel him coming in my direction. I wanted to forget it all, all that I've been going though, all those break-ups and the taunting of my mom. The pain of getting dump again and again and getting cheated on frequently. No one could break me into pieces if there would be no strings attached.

He came close to me and I sense the sexual tension arising, he looked me in my eyes and then gazed at my lips as I bit them in nervousness. I could see the apprehension in his eyes of wanting it too. He leaned on and I was never this silent, I felt my heart pacing and my eyes stopped at his red lips. I could feel his breath as he got close to me and his hands covering my waist. He touched my lips and sucked onto them harder. I closed my eyes in no time as I felt his lips touching mine. He looked at me again asking for the permission and I nodded. He grabbed my waist firmly and pulled me closer to his body.

He started kissing me and I was going insane every time he would bite my lips. I wrapped my hands around his shoulder but soon he parted them and started kissing my neck, I covered my mouth with my hands to suppress my moans and closed my eyes. I felt goosebumps by his touch and he whispered in my ear and I didn't care where the bottle was but focused on his hands going down.

"I want to hear you moan. Remove your hands."
