THE SILENCE AFTER US .....
prologue
The rain lashed against the glass, drowning the silence in Mehreen’s prison. A golden cage disguised as luxury. A penthouse high above the city, far from the world she once belonged to.
She traced her fingers along the cold windowpane, her reflection barely visible in the dim lighting. Behind her, the presence of him was unmistakable.
While the devil himself stood in the shadows, watching, always watching. Like a beast waiting for his prey

"You are quite tonight"
His voice was deep, controlled - too controlled
Mehreen didn't answer.
She had stopped answering long ago
A moment passed. Then another. And then, she felt it—the suffocating warmth of his presence as he moved closer. His fingers ghosted over her wrist, his touch possessive, unyielding.
Reeyan Singhania (ml)
"Do you know what I hate the most, Mehreen?"
he murmured against her ear, his voice soft yet dripping with quiet menace.
"Silence."

She turned to face him, her eyes void of any emotion.
"Then let me go."
A slow smirk tugged at his lips, but there was no amusement in his gaze — only hunger. Hunger for control.
Reeyan Singhania (ml)
"You’re never leaving me, love."
Mehreen khurana (fl)
"This is not love, Reeyan-"
But before she could finish, his grip tightened around her wrist, his touch firm, demanding.
Reeyan Singhania (ml)
"Don’t say it."
His voice was a whisper, but it cut through the air like a blade.
Mehreen’s breath hitched. He was close — too close. The storm outside raged, but the one inside this room was far more dangerous.
Reeyan Singhania (ml)
"Not love?"
Reeyan repeated, his dark eyes studying her face, searching for something—doubt, fear, submission.
"Then tell me, Mehreen… why does your heart still race when I touch you?"
She clenched her jaw. He was manipulating her, twisting reality into something unrecognizable. But she wouldn’t give in. Not tonight.
Mehreen khurana (fl)
"Let me go." The words barely left her lips before she felt him pull her against his chest.
Reeyan Singhania (ml)
"Never."
And just like that, the cage slammed shut once again.
But did he hear her out? Will he ever?
