Author's point of view...Getting back to the room Ria thumped her foot on the ground in anger and frustration, throwing things around."Is woman so easy to tamper...?" "How dare he...! disgusting bastard...! I should have killed him...!" It was so disgusting aspect for her to get touched by a man like Alex. Why can't she be angry, it was he who created this ruckus for her.It was he who had tried to kill her husband twice. There is a limit to everyone's tolerance and Ria's bridge of tolerance had long broken when Alex keep trying to get close to her.He sought multiple ways to address his manipulative tendencies and the reasons behind his actions trying every minute to make Ria believe that he was now a changed man. He worked on himself, pretending so hard to show himself determined to become a better person, not just before Ria but also before his father, Michael. Ria couldn't just wipe out the truth but Michael found some solace in knowing that Alex was trying to change. He s
Ria's point of view...I never thought I would find myself in such a treacherous situation, but life has a strange way of leading us down unexpected paths. My world turned upside down the day I discovered the shocking truth that my suspicions about Tiger's death were true. Alex is the very person responsible for everything, including my beloved husband's untimely demise.I tried everything that I can do to expose him but he seems to be a few steps ahead of me.So to trap him, I understood that I need to act more efficiently.I decided what I had to do.I need to entangle him in the honey trap, the only trap that can control a monster like him.It all began with a gut-wrenching revelation. As I dug deeper into that incident, I got to know that Tiger received a message before he left that night.I got subtle hints and hidden clues pointing toward Alex as the prime suspect. But the most disgusting things that I found were those photos in that message.Alex smacked some photos from the e
Ria's point of view...My heart pounded loudly in my chest as I sat at Alex's desk, attempting to access the cryptic file I had discovered on his personal computer. I have to do it...!Taking a deep breath I stiffened myself straight, deepening my desire to avenge Tiger.The evidence I sought, this file could potentially be the key to unraveling the truth behind his plan and exposing Alex to the monster he truly was. With trembling hands, I inserted my pen drive into the USB port and hurriedly began copying the mysterious file.But I am always the most unlucky soul ever...!I froze suddenly, as the sound of footsteps approached the room. Panic consumed me as I scrambled to close the file and conceal my true motives. But it was too late. The door creaked open, and there stood Alex, an unexpected look of surprise on his face."Ria, Darling""What are you doing here?" he asked suspiciously, eyeing me with narrowed eyes. My soul slipped into my mouth. I fetched for the correct words t
Ria's point of view...Every day a new challenge and every night a new misery. I just can't believe that my life had changed dramatically.I was once a carefree bird flying in any direction without any concerns but now I am closed in a huge golden cage.I could have left this place and been a free bird again if not for that love chains stopping me, dragging me from behind. I have been treating Mike and surprisingly he had no particular injuries yet he is in a coma. He got conscious only once when he talked so normally and told me everything about Alex. I wanted to tell him about the file I got in Alex's computer but how...?I think this idea of revenge is not my cup of tea, because I couldn't understand anything on that file let alone exposing him. It might have been possible if I were to be a police or some special officer.Wait...!Special officer...!Joe, he might help me decode that file. When that realization hit me, I instantly took my purse and was ready to go meet him. I ca
Ria's point of view... As the wedding day drew closer, my anxiety and anticipation grew. I was nervous, yet resolved. I couldn't wait to show Micheal the evidence I had collected so that Alex would have no choice but to confess and face the consequences of his actions. The thought of confronting him with his betrayal both terrified and empowered me. Every girl awaits the day of their wedding but I don't know why my life had a weird corner for weddings. My first wedding was an abduction, though I loved my husband after marriage, it was both a terrifying and funny experience that will always help me live the rest of my life. And now, I stood before the same path and I am still reluctant to walk down the aisle. This time I am about to get married to monster in a human skin.On this horrible day, I was eagerly waiting for Joe's call or his visit so that we both can expose Alex before the wedding.But fate had different plans for me. After waiting for the whole morning when I lost all hop
Ria's point of view..."Tiger...!" I knew it was his touch, but how could it be?"Tiger...! Was it really him?" As I turned around, my heart pounded loudly in my chest, and my eyes widened in disbelief. My vision got blurry because the tears pooled in my eyes. Curling me from behind was him, my husband, my deceased husband. I was sure that I was dreaming and even if it was just a dream, I don't want to get up. Forever.I fear if I ever opened my eyes he will vanish again and I don't want to lose him not even for a second.This was a strange dream, so real to believe. I can hear him, feel his warmth and his warm breath caressing my cheeks."I miss you," he said so emotionally that I can feel that he was about to cry."I missed you so much, honey" he repeated and soon attached his lips to mine. Was this a wet dream?I couldn't believe it. I closed my eyes, he was still kissing me, sucking my life out. He pulled me closer and closer and I gasped for breath. Was this really a dream?W
Tiger's point of view... [The night Tiger disappeared...] The night was as serene as the twinkling stars that adorned the velvety sky. Ria gave me a sedative dose and I had a very good sleep for hours.I was so energetic when I woke up at night and finding Ria walking in sneakyly, made me even more excited.I grabbed her in my arms and pinned her on the bed.We had spent hours reveling in each other's company, cherishing the intimacy that bound us together. She had been trying to talk about something, and I think I knew what was the thing that was bothering her.But seriously, I don't want to spoil my mood by talking about that bastard.I smacked the topic before she could start and had a great time with her. Our laughter resonated through the air as we recounted old memories and dreamt of a future filled with more shared moments like these. The moonlight spilled into the room, casting a soft, romantic glow that painted the scene with an air of enchantment. As dawn broke, the firs
Tiger's point of view...The mansion, the place I built to give my family a home, once a place of warmth and laughter, had become a battleground of emotions and uncertainty. My covert visits there, disguised as one of Alex's men, were both a source of solace and torment. Each time I recall the glimpse of Ria's tearful eyes and the lines of worry etched on Dad's forehead, my heart tightened in anguish. I struggle hard to control myself, not to kill him. The walls seemed to hold the echoes of our shared memories, taunting me with the stark contrast of what once was and what had become. Each time I stood there, in front of my family but hidden, I promised myself that I was going get this all right. In a few more days everything will be more beautiful than before.My presence, even in disguise, was a double-edged sword. It brought me closer to Ria and my father, allowing me to see their pain firsthand, yet it was a painful reminder of the suffering my supposed death had caused them.
