He was hers-her Rudhransh, her devil, her monster husband. Once, he had belonged only to her. But everything had changed six years ago. Now, he loathed her, despised her with a fury that left scars deeper than any blade. And to hurt her, to shatter whatever was left of her soul, he was doing the unthinkable. He was marrying someone else. He was becoming someone else. The room swam around her as she watched him fill another woman's hairline with vermillion, his fingers steady, his expression indifferent.

Or is she just dreaming with her eyes open?"
