THE DEAL WITH THE DEVIL'S BRIDE
chapter 1
The news echoed in every corner of the city.
Tonight, Kali had silenced a monster.
Not just any monster—
A man whose name had painted entire nations red.
A trafficker. A butcher. A coward in a king’s chair.
People heard the news with wide eyes and cautious smiles.
The streets buzzed with cautious hope, but in the underworld, silence fell like snow.
They knew better.

Alishya didn't let a word roll out from her tounge and disconnects the call
alishya drives off to her penthouse goes into a long hot shower , shee comes out wearing her silk robes that graceful clinged to her body as she grabbed a glass of wiskey 🥃 and went the balcony and stared at the buzzling city with dead eyes 👀
The city still reeked of gasoline and gunpowder.
And Alishya stood in the aftermath—unbothered, untouched.
Her heel crushed a spent bullet casing as she exhaled her cigarette smoke into the night.
Her phone buzzed.
Warren Christopher.
She answered without looking.
Warren christopher/ fl right hand and pa
You’re needed in Bangalore.
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
...Come again?
Warren christopher/ fl right hand and pa
Your father called. Three times.
He’s ordered your return. Immediate.
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
I don’t take orders, Warren. Not even from him.
Warren christopher/ fl right hand and pa
I reminded him.
He said—“Tell her it’s not a request. It’s family.”
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
Family died the day Luca did.
Warren christopher/ fl right hand and pa
He wouldn’t say why. Just that it’s critical.
And… he mentioned marriage.
The word marriage snap the last string of patience she had held
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl

Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
Of course.

Warren christopher/ fl right hand and pa

Warren christopher/ fl right hand and pa
Alishya—
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
Kali doesn’t run home like a loyal daughter. Alishya does.

chapter 2
The private jet sliced through the clouds like a blade, and when its wheels kissed Bangalore’s runway, the city itself seemed to hold its breath.
The skies responded.
The blazing sun vanished—
swallowed by thunderclouds that rolled in with a vengeance.
Lightning cracked through the sky like a whip.
The wind howled, not in chaos, but in obedience.
As if the goddess they once feared… had returned to her throne.
On the tarmac, guards braced themselves.
Rain didn’t fall.
Not yet.
It simply hovered in the clouds, as if waiting for her first step onto the land.
The private jet’s door hissed open. A steel staircase descended.
Then—heels clicked.
One.
Two.
Three.
Alishya Agnihotri Romania appeared at the top of the stairs.
Draped in obsidian silk.
A thin diamond chain at her throat.
And eyes darker than the storm behind her.
She didn’t flinch as the thunder roared.
Didn’t blink as wind tugged at her hair.
She was the calm within the chaos.
No...
She was the chaos.
The goddess they once feared… had returned to her throne.
The skies still roared.
The clouds pulsed with wrath.
But the storm on the ground was louder.
From the other end of the private terminal, the gates groaned open—
and the ground began to vibrate.
Dozens of blacked-out luxury SUVs and armored sedans rolled in, like a fleet sent by kings.
Their engines purred like beasts hungry for war.
Behind them—
A legion of men dressed in sleek black suits, combat boots, earpieces tucked in.
Marching in perfect sync.
Not police.
Not government.
These men belonged to her.
Alishya Agnihotri Romania.
KALI.
Their leader.
Their shadow queen.
Their protector.
Warren christopher/ fl right hand and pa
Even the nature fears you ( voice filled with pride and respect)
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
As it should
random civilians
Who the hell is she?
random civilians
She’s not from the government
random civilians
Who ever she is , she surely isn't someone to be messed with
random civilians
Alishya... the princess of Agnihotri?"
random civilians
"I thought she vanished after the Denmark fallout..
The jet door opened slowly.
And when she appeared—
every camera clicked.
Draped in a storm-black silk trench, sunglasses obscuring her eyes, heels that echoed like verdicts—
Alishya descended the stairs like the past owed her an apology.
random civilians
She’s arrived. Alishya Agnihotri Romania. The prodigal daughter. After five years
Warren stepped down behind alishya like her strongest piller that no weapon could ever destroy
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
They see Alishya.
Not Kali.
Warren christopher/ fl right hand and pa
It easy to finish our work and sweep it under the mat this way young miss
Soon she was led to her car and was taken way to the royal mansion of the agnihotri Romania with a dozen other cars surrounding her
chapter 3
The cars pulled over infront a huge magnificent mansion
The convoy moved like a silent procession of shadows.
As the mansion gates creaked open, armed guards straightened their backs. Maids froze mid-task. Gardeners abandoned their tools. Even the flowers seemed to still in the wind
The grand foyer was lit with gold and soft crystal light.
Everything was polished to perfection—
like the house itself was trying to impress her.
And then came the man she hadn't seen in years—
Mr. Arvind Agnihotri Romania.
Her father.
Patriarch.
Puppetmaster.
He stood at the top of the stairs, hands clasped behind his back.
Mr. Arvind Agnihotri Romania./.fl dad
You took your time.
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
Wasn't planning to return
Arvind's eyes softened Looking his baby girl who had grown to be a ferocious lepoard who would hunt her prey with no mercy
Mr. Arvind Agnihotri Romania./.fl dad
you grew up to be the claws you feared
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl

Mr. Arvind Agnihotri Romania./.fl dad
The gall will begin in a hour get dresses , the press will be here as well
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
Where is Rafael?
Mr. Arvind Agnihotri Romania./.fl dad
Out for work will be here soon
Alishya slights nods and walks towards her room
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
hasn't changed an ounce in 5 years ( chuckles sadly )
Alishya moves around her room tracing her fingers on the surface of the desk , walls and the soft curtains
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
I am sorry ... I shouldn't have ignored my responsibility, if only I could turn the clock back , I would trade anything in the world to repant my mistake
luca agnihotri Romania/ fl brother
You should sleep now isha it's 3 am
luca agnihotri Romania/ fl brother
Isha finish your breakfast
luca agnihotri Romania/ fl brother
Hey brat that's my shirt 😤
luca agnihotri Romania/ fl brother
You look like a panda with all those dark circles 😂😂
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
And u look like a Lizard
Alishya mumbles her words as she recalls her brother
An hour quickly passes by ... The quite mansion was son replaced with chats and laughter of the guests that arrived
Everyone were lead to the ballroom which decorated according to alishya's preference
The grand ballroom of the Agnihotri Romania Estate pulsed with elegance and danger.
Every chandelier sparkled. Every eye turned.
Then—
the double doors opened.
And silence took the room like a bullet to the chest.
Alishya Agnihotri Romania.
Draped in a body-hugging saree of crimson and snow, silk cascading like water and war. Her dark hair flowed like ink spilled from the stars. Her chin tilted high. Her heels clicking with quiet defiance.
The daughter had returned.
She scanned the crowd. They stared back like ghosts seeing the sun again.
But she wasn’t looking for them.
Her eyes locked onto the one person whose gaze didn’t flicker.
Rafael.
Her younger brother.
The dreamer she left behind.
He stood by the grand staircase, tall and unreadable, dressed in black with crimson trim. The boy she once protected with bloodied fists… was gone. Replaced by a man carved by betrayal.
She approached slowly. The crowd faded to a blur.
When she finally reached him, there was no embrace.
Only silence.
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
Still haven’t learned to smile for a crowd? ( her as soft as it can be sweet like honey 💓 and filled with love )
Rafael agnihotri Romania/ fl younger bro
Still haven’t learned how to say goodbye?( voice was flat and uninterested)
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
Raf-
Rafael agnihotri Romania/ fl younger bro
Don’t. Don’t say my name like you still have the right.You disappeared. Five years, Alishya.
No calls. No letters. No explanations.
I wasn’t your shadow.
I was your brother.
And you left me to rot in this golden grave.
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
No more akka ( sister ) i see
Rafael agnihotri Romania/ fl younger bro
U lost that right the moment you left me behind
She paused, blinking back the sting in her eyes. She deserved every word. Still, her voice didn’t waver.
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
If I stayed, I would’ve died here.
You know that. He would've buried me alive in velvet and silence
Rafael agnihotri Romania/ fl younger bro
Oh, but I was allowed to stay. Right? I was disposable?
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
You think I left because I didn’t care?
You think it didn’t tear me apart?
Both were right from their points, both were but kids who had to survive
Rafael agnihotri Romania/ fl younger bro
You left because you had the choice.
I didn’t.
I was seventeen, Alishya.
I didn’t know how to fight him.
I waited every day, thinking you would come back for me.
You were my hero.
And you left me with him.
The word hero hit her like bolt after all she too lost her hero , her arms tremble and her breath uneven
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
I wasn’t strong enough then.
I didn’t know how to protect you.
But I do now.
That’s why I’m back.
To end this game. To cut the strings.
To make sure he never uses us again.
Rafael agnihotri Romania/ fl younger bro
It’s too late for that.
You don’t get to walk in wearing silk and warpaint and pretend we’re the same people.
I had to learn to be ruthless without you.
I had to bury things too.
Do you even know what I’ve done just to survive as his son?
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
Do you think I haven’t bled for every choice I made?
Do you think I sleep peacefully, Rafa?
You were my world.
And leaving you was the only way I could come back strong enough to save you.
He looked away for a second—eyes wet, jaw locked.
Rafael agnihotri Romania/ fl younger bro
You could’ve just come back for me.
I didn’t need a savior. I needed my sister. ( his voice bearly a wisper)
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
And you still have her.
If you’ll let me.
Rafael held his ground his voice was still firm like a man he grew to be but his eyes gave him away , those eyes that craved to his sister again and longed for her presence every day held pools of tears within them that could barely be held back
Rafael agnihotri Romania/ fl younger bro
I don’t know if I trust you anymore.
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
Then Let me work hard , prove myself to you and earn back your trust raffy ( her voice is smoothing)
Warren approached in the background, signaling Arvind’s speech was about to begin. But neither of them moved.
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
We should get moving , the speech is gonna start
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
I didn’t come back to reclaim power, Rafa.
I came back to reclaim us.
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
And this time…
I won’t run.
We avenge ourselves together
Rafael agnihotri Romania/ fl younger bro
You’d better not.
Because if you do…
I won’t chase you again.
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
Nods her head and gives him a fluttering smile
Alishya agnihotri Romania/ fl
let's go ?
Rafael agnihotri Romania/ fl younger bro
let's go
