The game in which everyone thinks they are the king has evolved into a one-handed game played by a queen. The game of vengeance, the war of death, the bloodshed of exculpation, and the crown of the heart all result in the destruction of many innocent lives. ____ "Where were you?" Shivers run down her spine. She spoke softly, "At my apartment." His eyes filled with an emotion she couldn't identify: hurt and betrayal "Vihaan, I-" He tightened his grip on the glass and threw it near her feet, making her flinch. She took two steps back, "You might have hurt me Vihaan." "That's the problem, love. You believe I can hurt you, but in reality, I would die before you received a single scratch as a result of my actions." "But this is not like you; you enjoy hurting me, but this time you go too far, Mrs. Adriti Vihaan Singhania. Every time I think you can't hurt me anymore, you prove me wrong. I get it. You do not like me, but-" He moved his other hand to her stomach and caressed it tenderly. "How can you be so cruel? What did my baby do to you that you took her life before she could see the world and meet me, her dad?" She looked at him with parted lips, and her skin appeared pale. She murmured, blinking her eyes as tears welled up in them. "Vihaan, I-" "Don't; you do so much that hearing my name from your mouth rips my heart in two. Remember, I told you that you would be the best mother-" "That was a lie, an awful lie, because you will never make a good mother; you are worse than my mother. And I thank God that your mother died; if she had known her daughter was a murderer, she would have died a hundred times. I hate you; you're a horrible mother."
