Beneath The Rajvanshi Crown
Chapter 19
(Ishani slowly stirs, her eyelids fluttering open. Darkness presses in around her, and her breath quickens as panic takes hold.)
FL Ishani Maheshwari
(whispering, terrified) "Where am I? Why is it so dark?"
(Her heart pounds as fragmented memories surface, ones she had fought to bury. She struggles to breathe, trying to shake the growing terror.)
FL Ishani Maheshwari
(shaking, her voice cracking) "What is this place? No n..no... they can't find me again".
(A sudden creak of the door breaks through her panic. She freezes, her wide eyes fixed on the shadow looming in the doorway. The faint glow from a single bulb barely lights the cold, damp room, its concrete walls bare except for metal bars on the windows. The echo of footsteps grows louder.)
Unknown
(with a mocking grin) "Hello, my flower..."
(Ishani's breath hitches. Her body stiffens as her eyes search desperately for an escape.)
FL Ishani Maheshwari
"Who... who are you?"
(The figure steps closer, still shrouded in shadows. His voice sends a chill through her spine—familiar, cruel, and haunting.)
Unknown
(chuckling darkly) "Forgotten me already, flower? That hurts."
(Her heart stops as recognition dawns. Her voice drops to a broken whisper.)
FL Ishani Maheshwari
"No... no... stay away from me... Rahul."
Rahul
(With a twisted laugh) "There it is. You remember me now, don't you?"
(He steps closer, his hand reaching for her face. Ishani recoils, her tears spilling over as fear consumes her.)
FL Ishani Maheshwari
(Sobbing, trembling) "No, no, don't touch me. Stay away!"
Rahul
(mockingly, his tone gleeful) "Ah, but my flower... you're mine now. Forever. No more running."
(His grin widens, his words dripping with possessive malice.)
Rahul
"And soon, we're getting married. Imagine that. Just you and me. No one else."
(Ishani shakes her head, her body trembling as his words sink in. She feels trapped, suffocated by his presence.)
Rahul
(his voice darkening) "Last time wasn't fun, was it? Me and those others... sharing you like that. But not anymore."
(His voice turns bitter as anger flashes in his eyes.)
Rahul
You left me. You threw me away like trash. But no more. No one steals you from me."
(He slams his fist into the wall, the sound reverberating through the small room. Ishani flinches, tears streaming down her face.)
Rahul
(Seething with rage) "You'll never leave me again, flower. Never."
(Ishani feels the walls closing in, her nightmare turning into a horrifying reality.)
Rudra grips the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning white as he races through the empty streets of Delhi. The headlights of his car cut through the darkness, but his mind is lost in a storm of worry.
ML:-Rudra Rajvanshi
(Thinking, his voice trembling with rare vulnerability) "I'm scared... I don't know why, but I'm scared. Her smile, her face... they keep flashing in front of me. I can't even imagine what kind of situation she's in right now. Just bear it for a little longer, Ishani... I'm coming. I'll find you, and when I do, I'll never let you out of my sight again."
He presses harder on the accelerator, the car roaring as it speeds through the city. His phone buzzes on the dashboard. He answers without hesitation.
Arjun
(Over the phone) "Rana Sa, we've deployed teams to every major checkpoint. Roads, railways, airports—everything is locked down. No one's leaving Delhi without being searched."
ML:-Rudra Rajvanshi
(Voice cold, his fury barely contained) "That's not enough. Double the guards. I want every vehicle checked, every alley swept. No excuses."
Arjun
Understood, Rana Sa. We'll find her."
Rudra ends the call, his jaw clenched as his thoughts return to Ishani.
ML:-Rudra Rajvanshi
(thinking) "Just hold on, Ishani. I'll get you out of this, no matter what it takes."
