I once had strictly objected him from doing so. But, he had soflty placed a kiss on my cheeks and said, "I want to capture all the beautiful moments of my life, Laura. And, all those moments have you in them. Let me capture you, Laura, so that you always remain with me."
These were the exact words he had told me that had moved my heart. But, it was only now that I realised, they were all lies!
He had been a disgusting person, no better than Deccan himself. He had been collecting evidences against me since the very beginning to ruin me inside out if I ever defy him.
Yes, he had captured me, not by love but by keeping things against me.
He had destroyed me completely, stripped away my dignity and made me a laughing stock.
He was systematically dismantling every pillar of my life: my marriage, my brother’s health, and now, my honor.
I dropped the phone. It slid to the floor, the screen facing up, a silent, blinking witness to my devastation.
A strangled sound tore from my throat, but it wasn't a sob. It was a raw, guttural cry of fury. I pressed my face into Liam’s cool, thin hand. I couldn't break down here. Not now. Not while he was helpless, and I was exposed.
