Prologue

Helo guys, so this is the first chapter of this story maybe it will look small to you but I really have done Hard work in this hope you'll like it.

In a dark room.......

The damp walls of the dark room were dripping with moisture. Heer lay lifelessly on a slab of ice, her lips trembling with every shallow breath. Her whole body shivered as though every bone inside her had frozen. Her eyes were half-open, clouded with pain and unconsciousness.

Through those dim, half-closed lashes, she slowly looked ahead—towards the man sitting calmly in the corner of the room. His gaze was fixed on her, and in his eyes lingered a strange calmness, as if every ounce of her suffering was nothing more than a spectacle for him.

Heer could feel his gaze burning into her. The man tilted his head to the side as he watched her, his eyes locked on her without a single blink. There was a wild madness flickering in his stare, yet his face carried an unsettling calm, almost peaceful in its cruelty.

A faint, chilling smile curved his lips as his voice broke the heavy silence.

"Remember the slap, sweetheart?"

Heer could hear his voice clearly. Even now, she remembered that slap—the sting of it still alive in her memory. But deep down she knew, the slap had only been an excuse. What he truly wanted was to cage her, and that he had already done.

Watching her suffer with every passing moment brought him a twisted sense of peace, as though her pain was the very essence of his calm.

He leaned forward, his eyes never leaving her trembling form. Slowly, he reached out, tracing a single finger along her cold skin. His touch was deliberate, cruelly tender, making every nerve in her body flinch.

"Do you feel it now, sweetheart? Every breath, every shiver... it belongs to me."

Heer’s chest tightened. Her body was too weak to move, but her mind screamed for escape. She wanted to close her eyes, to shut him out, yet those half-lidded eyes refused to obey. She could see him—his calm, his madness, his obsession.

Fear clawed at her heart, but beneath it, a more terrifying realization grew: he didn’t just want to punish her… he wanted to own her suffering.

Heer trembled under his touch, fear tightening around her chest. Her lips quivered, and in the faintest whisper—so soft it would have been lost if there were even a trace of sound in the room—she pleaded, “Vardan… please, stop it.”

Her fragile words seeped into him, bringing a chilling calm. His face showed no expression, but his eyes betrayed him. Heer could see it—the dangerous spark in them, a cruel glimmer of satisfaction that shone brighter every time her pain deepened.

Vardan’s finger lingered on her skin, his head tilting ever so slightly as if savoring her fear.Vardan’s grip tightened suddenly around her hand, pressing it so hard she felt her bones strain beneath his hold. A sharp gasp escaped her lips, but her voice was too faint to carry.

His touch lingered, cruel and deliberate. He leaned closer, his words dripping with possession.

"Stop? No, Heer… you don’t understand. Your fear is the sweetest sound I’ve ever heard. Every plea, every tremor—it’s mine."

Before she could even draw another breath, his lips brushed against her chest in a fleeting, chilling kiss. Then, with a low, unsettling laugh, he threw his head back. The motion sent his dark hair falling away from his face, revealing the wild glint in his eyes—eyes that drank in her suffering like it was his salvation.

Heer’s heart hammered violently, her body trapped between ice beneath her and the madness towering above her.

Heer’s heart thrashed violently against her ribs. She wanted to scream, to fight, to break free, but her body refused to obey. A suffocating weight pressed down on her chest, leaving her breath shallow and uneven.

Inside, she kept repeating to herself—this can’t be real, I’ll wake up, I’ll wake up—yet the icy surface beneath her and the madness in his eyes reminded her this was no nightmare. This was her reality.

Vardan… please…” Heer’s broken voice cracked through the suffocating silence, her tears streaming down in helpless rivers. The more she tried to hold them back, the faster they fell, blurring her vision until the room itself became nothing but shadows. Her body trembled violently, her heart aching as if every beat might be the last. She could no longer contain it—his madness, his obsession, his suffocating presence. It was all too much. She had never thought, not even in her darkest dreams, that she would be trapped like this—her body enslaved to cold, her spirit bent beneath the weight of a man’s hunger for power over her.

Vardan watched her tears with a silence that was far more terrifying than any rage. His grip did not loosen; instead, his thumb brushed slowly against the wetness on her cheek, smearing her tears as if they were his to claim. His lips curved—not into a smile, not into cruelty, but into something darker, something more terrifying. A dangerous calm spread across his face, and in his eyes shimmered that same glint, sharp and unrelenting, like a predator savoring the trembling of its prey.

He bent lower, his breath ghosting against her skin, and whispered, “Every tear, Heer… every drop of your pain—it feeds me. You think this is your breaking point, but it is only the beginning.”

Her chest rose and fell in ragged desperation, each inhale more shallow than the last. Inside, her soul screamed, clawing for release, but on the surface she remained trapped—caught between the ice beneath her and the heat of his madness above her. And in that moment, Heer realized something far worse than fear: there was no escape from Vardan, because her torment had become his peace, and he wasn’t going to let go.

He was Vardan—her Vardan.

But to her, he was no blessing.

He was a curse, bound to her like a shadow she could never escape.

Every tear she shed, every shiver that ran through her veins, reminded her of one truth: Vardan was not just the name of a man… he was the curse that had chained her soul.

He was Vardan.

But for her, he was no salvation.

He was a curse carved into her fate—an endless torment wrapped in flesh, a shadow she could never outrun.
