His Doll

Devika's p.o.v

My family members are very busy with the arrangement because today is my wedding.

Yes, today I am going to be that beast's wife. This thought is making me afraid and vulnerable. I can't imagine what will happen to me. I don't get any positive vibe from him. His aura is totally dark. His looks, his talks, his behaviour.. everything scares me.

At our engagement ceremony when he was putting the ring he holds my hand so tightly that it left a slight bruise on my hand.

That bruise is fading out from my hand but it's not fading out from my mind. I remember his words " I can't wait to break you". This sentence is always ringing in my ear making my heartbeat fast.

I am feeling like something bad is going to happen. But, one thing I am sure that whatever he does to me but I will always protect my family. Ma is very happy about this marriage. For her sake, I can do anything.

I am sitting in front of the mirror wearing a red lehenga with heavy jewellery. Well, the lehenga is very beautiful designed by Avantika Agnihotri. I have to admit she is a talented designer.

I have red beautiful henna on my hand. The beauticians had done a great job on my whole self. I am looking like a doll. But, there is no smile or no happiness on my face which a bride should have had. My expression is neutral but my inside is screaming not to marry the beast.
