Love is beautiful, isn't it ?
But his love became an hell for her...
Is there any escape from this hell ? Absolutely not...
Because she was meant to shatter in his love, 'SHATTERED to be his'.

"Are you serious Alie ?" A chuckle left my mouth when I heard the recent breakup story of my bitch who called me in the middle of the night just to share her overwhelming emotions with me.

Of course it was not shocking as I'm used to listening to her break up and hook up stories every second week, but the reason for her break up this time was way more funnier than ever.

"So you think I'm being sarcastic here ?" She uttered while sobbing.

"No, I mean... How can he tear off your favourite lingerie set like this ?" I kept my tone firm, trying hard to control my laugh.

"Actually I told him to be wild as fuck, but that asshole became blind in his wildness." She mumbled.

"I wanted him to be wild, but not like this... I should have warned him already." She added while weeping.

Hearing this, I burst out in laughter even after trying hard to control myself.

"Is this sounding funny to you, bitch ?" She almost yelled from the other end.

I took a pause to control my laughter and then said in a calm voice "No it's not like that, actually you know what Alie... You should have demanded 10 pieces of the same lingerie set before breaking up with him."

After giving her such great advice, I got up from the bed and made my way towards the balcony to take some fresh air.

"Fuck, I didn't even think of it." She said in a regretful tone.

"You're such a babe Tara, I seriously don't need any boyfriend until you're with me. You're my everything from now on." She added and I heard a kissing sound from the other end.

She is high on her mood swings for now.

"Don't you try to seduce me Alie, All these rights are reserved by my man... Only he can seduce me." I grumbled making her laugh.

"Ohh, is it for real ?" She asked sarcastically.

"Of course, he must be thinking of me right now." I replied while flipping my hair.

{Me being delulu}

"Okay then, Instead of seducing you, I'll seduce your man and then give our babies to you to raise them up." She mumbled in more like a teasing tone.

"Shut up you lowkey, only and only I can seduce him." I retorted without wasting a second.

"Oh someone is getting wet from her delulu man's thoughts." She further tried to tease me to which I didn't react.

Instead, I kept listening her nonsense talks quietly.

"Then his one gaze must be enough to impregnate you, isn't it ?" She said breaking the silence.

Why does she never leave any chance to tease me ? Ahh of course, this break up affected her so hard.

"A while before you were crying for your break up, doesn't it matter to you now ?" I questioned her raising my brow.

"You know what Tara, I fucking need a break up party so bad... I just want to wipe out that bastard's memories from my mind." She replied while trying to control her tears of loyalty and pain. {Sarcasm}

"Wait wait- tomorrow is your birthday Tara, you're turning twenty one." She almost yelled out of excitement and craze.

"So you remember?" I asked her, resentment was evident in my voice.

How can she forget, it's my birthday!

"Of course I do, And as always you haven't any plans for your birthday, huh?" She asked with more like a plea.

"Hmm, but there's a grand party in the mansion... And daddy is announcing me as the face of Jindal diamond's new branch." I said it all within one breath.

"Great, now go and take your beauty sleep." Saying this she disconnected the call.

What was that ? I'm sure this crazy girl will do something tomorrow. I don't know why I'm having a strong feeling that something is going to happen tomorrow. Something really unexpected!

Ughhh, my subconscious mind is always a chaos of unwanted thoughts and people.

I shook my head and got inside the room. As soon as I laid out in bed, my eyes filled with sleep started getting heavy and went closed by themselves.

NEXT MORNING

"You have five minutes Mrs. Oberoi, speak up." Aayansh who was doing pushups on his one hand, said as soon as he picked up the call, a Bluetooth was connected to his ear.

"Aayansh, I'm your mother for god's sake. If you can't give respect then better don't disrespect me." A middle aged lady spoke from the other end.

She was Anika Oberoi, Aayansh's step mother.

"Correction Mrs. Oberoi, you are not my mother... If you ever spoke this thing again, I won't think twice before putting those six bullets of my gun right there in your skull." His tone was calm yet stiff.

"And you very well know that I keep my words." He added while his whole focus was on his pushup counts.

Hearing this, Anika's eyes widened with shock and fear as if some horrible past hit her mind.

"I-I was just saying that your dad needs you, Y-you haven't even shown us your face for twelve years. Don't you think you should be in India right now ?" She stuttered.

"I hate people who twist things, get to the point Mrs. Oberoi." He spoke with the same tone.

"Aa- Aayansh, your dad wants you to handle Oberoi industries now. We know that you have built your own empire, but who'll handle Oberoi industries after your dad ?" She pleaded.

"How about I destroy the Oberoi industries itself ? You know how much l love to destroy things and people." He said with an oblique smirk on his face and stood up.

"Aayansh please, I- ."

"Your five minutes are over." He said before hanging up the call.

His sweaty hairs were scattered on his forehead, his eyes were a little red and he was just wearing a black shorts. A little sweat from well built chest was dripping to his eight pack abs. He turned his face a little and looked at his arm where there was a fresh wound of a bullet, which he didn't bother a little.

"Bro" Rivaan said as he came, Aayansh turned towards him.

"AJ has announced about his diamond shipments and he'll do those shipments with our route." Rivaan exclaimed in a serious tone.

Aayansh remained unaffected and no one could figure out what was going on in his mind at the moment.

"What are you planning bro ?" Rivaan asked after noticing the firmness on His face.

With a mysterious smirk on his face, Aayansh replied "I don't believe in planning Rivaan, I believe in actions... And it's time for action, time to snatch what's mine."

"Get our diamond ships ready." He added.

Rivaan nodded his head in response and left from there.

Tara was getting ready for the party, Party's theme was black and white so she wore a white sleeveless gown with a mid thigh slit and a net covering.

Stylists were getting her ready, they applied a little makeup on her face including baby pink lipstick, mascara and a little blush on her already pinkish cheeks. She wore a little diamond jewellery.

"Wow, you're looking like an angel." One of the stylists said after completing her look and in response she passed her a sweet smile.

"And the Angel invites the Devil !!!"

After hearing this familiar voice, Tara immediately looked at the direction where a girl was standing and looking at her only.

Tara stood up and went towards her with impatient steps who was smiling.

"Are you for real, Kaya ?" Tara asked her while fluttering her lashes like a butterfly.

"No, I'm an illusion." That girl answered in a sarcastic tone.

"Ok so let me live this illusion for a moment." Saying this Tara hugged her tightly without wasting a second.

She was kaira singhania, Tara's cousin sister and the one with whom she spent all her childhood and shared some beautiful memories. Nobody knew where she was living till now.

"So finally my wandering monk got some time for me." Tara complained after separating herself from kaira a little.

"You know what, I had to come here today as my little star has entered in her productive era. You know I went for the search of love of my life... And guess what, I found him." She mumbled out a mix of excitement and happiness.

"Really, And who's the d!ck ?" Tara frowned at her brows and questioned her.

"It's a long story, I'll tell you after the party." Saying this She held Tara's hand and made their way out from the room.

The decor of the mansion was classy yet elegant with the combination of black and white. Almost every big businessmen and sophisticated personalities were present in the party.

On Tara's demand, It was a masquerade party so everyone's faces were covered behind the masks. Kaira after putting her mask on her face, fixed mask on Tara's face. As soon as They both entered in the main hall, everyone's gaze stuck on Tara.

Not only because she was Dhairya Jindal's daughter or AJ's sister, but the elegance she carried was irresistible. Her golden brown eyes shining behind that mask were as hypnotizing as liquor.

It could be said as her first public appearance when she was to be announced as the new face of Jindal Diamonds. The media's entry in party was prohibited for now.

Arsh and Dhairya came to her, Dhairya held Tara's hand and uttered with a smile "Ready for the surprise, princess?"

"Surprise ?" She asked a little confusingly.

"You'll know within a while." Arsh replied with a gentle smile.

"Kaira, you both go and enjoy." He said to kaira and in response she nodded her head and took Tara with her.

Here Arsh called someone and as soon as the call was picked from the other side, he said "There should be no irresponsibility in the security, Luca I'm damn sure he'll come here... I don't fucking care about professional reasons, but I don't want any problem in this party." His tone was stiff yet serious.

Saying this he disconnected the call and looked at Tara who was enjoying with Alie and kaira. A satisfaction appeared on his face after seeing Tara happy.

Here, A person wearing black taxido was standing near the cocktail corner. His half face was covered with a black mask, he was looking devilishly handsome with an extremely attractive yet dark aurra.

Here comes the Angel's Devil !!!

His dark blue eyes were stuck on Tara who was who was sweetly smiling with her girls, unaware of all this.

"So fucking tempting, So fucking mine !!!" That guy who was no-one but AAYANSH muttered while his gaze was fixed at Tara. A devilish smirk appeared on his face as soon as he completed his words and Suddenly lights of the party hall went off and certain spotlights turned on. Aayansh stepped towards Tara who was looking here and there.

After reaching Tara, not letting her think or do anything he took her hand in his and came in the centre of party hall.

As soon as Tara's eyes met with his additive gaze, she couldn't take her eyes off of him as she found these eyes familiar. Both were looking in each other's eyes without blinking.

Tara's eyes filled with curiosity of his dark blue eyes whereas Aayansh's devilish gaze was firmly scanning each and every feature of her angelic Beautiful face, and stuck on her cherry pink lips.

By grabbing her waist, he pulled her closer and she collided with his broad chest. Tara kept both her hands on his chest as she kept looking at his face. A spotlight fell on both of them, With that music turned on and some other couples also joined the stage.

Kaise kahun ishq mein tere
Kitna hun betaab main
Aankho se Aankhen milaa ke
chura lun tere khwaab main...

"I- I know y." Her words cut off when she heard Aayansh's lips touching her ear and his cold voice saying "Shhhh, let me feel you."

Hai ye Nasha, ya hai zeher
Is pyaar ko ham kya naam dein
Kab se adhoori hai ek dastaan
Aajaa use Aaj anjaam dein...

Hearing this, A shiver ran through her body and goosebumps covered her body like a fabric. His grip over her waist was so hard that she was feeling suffocated a little.

Tumhe bhoolun kaise main
Meri pehli khata tum ho...

Aayansh's intense gaze was stuck on Tara.
She somewhere found this touch, this fragrance and this voice so familiar. Aayansh turned her and pressed her back against his chest.

His one hand was on her waist and with the other one he grabbed her wrist. Tara who was being uncomfortable with him now, tried to get rid of him a little but all her efforts were worthless as he has Locked her in his Arms like an Inescapable hell.

Her breath and heartbeat became uneven feeling the heat of his touch.

Kya jaane tu, Mere iraade
Le jaunga, saanse churaa ke
Dil keh raha hai gunahgaar ban Jaa
Bada chain hai inn gunaahon ke aage...

He touched her neck with his lips and she couldn't resist his touch, even somewhere she was yearning for his touch but was unaware of this sensation rising inside her.

As soon as the lights turned on, Aayansh left her biting her earlobe and Tara without thinking anything, ran away towards her room.

Kiara and Alie were busy in their deeds while Dhairya was engaged with his business associates. As soon as Arsh saw Tara like this, he started following her.

Here Tara took off the mask from her face and threw it away, After entering her room she locked the door and as she turned and looked at front, her eyes widened with shock and fear.

Aayansh was sitting on the couch folding his legs like a king and looking at her with slightly tilted head as if he was waiting for her only. And this time, there was no mask on his face.

Some hazy memories of that night ran through Tara's mind as she saw Aayansh's face. This face was still fresh somewhere in her memories.

Seeing the man who still haunts her dreams, her body as well as mind became numb at the moment. Her steps began to falter and eyes filled with tears.

"Y- You ?" She stuttered barely.

"Expecting someone else, fireheart ?" Aayansh said with a smirk as he stood up and started coming towards her.

Seeing him coming near her, Tara started taking steps back.

"I-I don't k-know how I came In that r-room that night, I re- really d- don't... Ple- ple. I couldn't se- sense." Her words cut off when Aayansh pinned her against the wall and tilted over her face.

"So how about I fuck you right here to bring your senses back, fireheart?" His voice was stern yet cold.

He was tilted over her face completely, Their nose touching one other and Tara could feel his warm breaths over her face sending shivers to her already trembling body.

His grip around her waist was so tight that her breath became uneven.

"Le- Leave me please." Darkness began to appear before her eyes as she spoke and within few seconds, she fell on his chest unconscious.

Without being affected a little, Aayansh looked at her fainted face and picked her on his shoulder, making his way out of the room.

Here, Arsh after reaching Tara's floor went straight towards her bedroom impatiently to see what was wrong.
