For him love was pain and pain was love. She was his obsession. He craved for her love but all he was getting was ill words from her. She had changed and the only way to make her his was to give her pain.

No matter how much she tried she would never get rid of him. Never ever.

Today, he had lost his control again as he slapped her hard enough that she fell on the floor.

Today was another one of those days where she was helpless in front of him. She was crying for him to believe her.

Last time she slapped him, he gave her scars which she would never forget in her life. Those scars reminded her of him every night. Two months. From two months, he was haunting her every night. Everytime he forced himself on her she couldn't help but despise herself for loving a monster. Every night she wished she was dead.

She was nothing but a living corpse who had succumbed to his wishes. He said eat she would eat, he said sleep she would sleep she was nothing but a robot who was controlled by him.

He gripped her hair and saw the tears in her eyes. Instead of feeling regret, he felt disgust but deep inside he enjoyed to see her cry. He didn't know what was wrong with him but all he knew was he would go to any extent to have Shreya. Her body, her soul and her heart all belonged to him and only him.

He slapped her again but she didn't scream or cry this time so he kicked her in the stomach and this time she screamed in agony. He kicked her multiple of times and left once he was satisfied hearing her screams.

She had to get out of here. She had to get rid of him before he damaged her to the point where it was impossible for her to get cured.

"Don't please! Don't hurt me"

"No Samay! Please my baby! No please!"

"Don't kick me please!"

Aarav woke up to Shreya's screaming and looked at her to find her sweating and tossing on the bed as she clutched her stomach and begged for Samay's forgiveness.

Fuck! She is having a nightmare, Aarav thought as he rubbed her back.

"Calm down, baby. It's just a nightmare. Wke up, jaan... I am here. Right here", Aarav whispered softly in her ears.

"No, please don't kick. I am pregnant, Samay"

"Shreya, it's me Aarav. Please open your eyes doll, please", Aarav said with his voice filled with anguish.

Shreya opened her eyes and instantly they were filled with tears.

"Aarav...", she whispered as she sat up and hugged him.

He hugged her as she started crying and soon her crying turned into sobbing.

"Shh baby.... I am here... your Aarav is here. With you. For you.", Aarav whispered softly as he rubbed her back.

"He was here Aarav... he kicked me again... our baby... I am so scared, Aarav...", Shreya sobbed in his arms.

"It was just a nightmare, baby. I won't let anyone lay even a finger on you or our baby. I will keep you both safe and protect you both from all the evil jaan", Aarav said hugging her tightly.

He let her cry in his arms because he knew she needed to let it out. With her each tear, her each sob his heart broke a little. He wasn't the cause of her pain but he wanted to hunt the man down who had caused her so much of pain.
