"Untamed: His Rules, Her Fire"
Chapter 5: Bonfire and Blame
🕯️ Nighttime, under string lights and smoke

Vinit:
👋 "Here." [patting the empty spot beside him]
"Saved this just for you."
Sakshi👩🏻🎓:
Soft smile "I didn’t say I was coming."
Vinit🧑💼:
"But you came anyway.
That’s enough for me."
[🎶 Laughter echoes, fire crackles, plates clink.
On the other side...]

cuddling up to Vikram’s arm
"Babe, let’s get a couple selfie tonight.
You know… aesthetic firelight vibes?"
tanya 💄
Frowning slightly "Do I not look cute tonight?"
Vikram🕶️:
"Don’t you always say that?"
[🔁 Tanya blinks. Follows his gaze.]
tanya 💄
"...Seriously? Again with her?"
Vinit🧑💼:
"You’ve got everyone watching you, you know?"
Sakshi👩🏻🎓:
Startled "What? Why?"
Vinit🧑💼:
"Because you’re kinda impossible to ignore."
Sakshi👩🏻🎓:
Half-laughs "That’s not always a compliment."
Vikram🕶️:
[Loud enough for all to hear]
“Depends on the kind of attention you’re looking for.”
🔥 Silence falls. Even the fire seems to crackle quieter.
Sakshi👩🏻🎓:
"...Excuse me?"
Vikram🕶️:
[Eyes locked, voice flat]
"You heard me.
You’re good at… drawing eyes."
Sakshi👩🏻🎓:
"Didn’t know I needed your permission to exist."
Vikram🕶️:
"You don’t.
Just don’t act innocent when people talk."
Vinit🧑💼:
[Stands abruptly]
"That’s enough."
tanya 💄
[Sweet venom]
"Oh relax, Vinit. She does love the spotlight.
She basks in it."
Vinit🧑💼:
"Maybe she wouldn’t feel alone in a crowd
if people didn’t tear her down for breathing."
Sakshi👩🏻🎓:
[Quietly standing, voice level]
"Thanks for the entertainment."
[🧥 She walks off, hoodie pulled over her head. No tears—but her steps are heavy.]
tanya 💄
[Squeezing Vikram’s arm]
"You did the right thing.
She needed to be shut down."
Vikram🕶️:
[Staring into the fire, thinking]
(...Why did her eyes look like that?)
Vikram🕶️:
(...Why does this feel wrong?)
Vikram🕶️:
(...Why do I care?)
Vikram🕶️:
[ thinking ](to himself):
“I don’t like her.”
“I hate her.”
...Don’t I?
