Broken By him.

Chapter-20

The evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. The slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky. But the beauty of the sun wasn't that enjoyable for Adhira. She had never missed a chance to honor the beauty of nature. But today was different. The difference was in her life, her situation. And this same evening, which looked so pleasant to the eyes of spectators, wasn't the same for Adhira, for so many reasons.

Her legs felt numb from sitting on her haunches for a longer period. Once, her delicate and milky hands were now not that soft instead calloused and covered with cuts and soil. She was sweating at every pore from the intense heat. Sweat beads rolled from her forehead to her neck and disappeared under her clothes. Her clothes, which were the maid's uniform, were given by Reyansh. "This is what you are from now on. A mere, lowly life to please their master". These savage words still echoed in her ears and stung like a bee.

She picked up the garden trowel from the toolbox and again started digging at another spot. She has planted various plants like cherry blossoms, roses, lilies, berries, and many others up until now. She handpicked weeds, planted new plants, and watered them.

Maybe, one day, her life would bloom again as these plants would.

A ray of hope was all needed to pull her out of the dark bottomless abyss. She hoped that these plants would not end up like her. With a wicked cruel stranger in a huge place.

The maids at the mansion looked at her with different emotions. Some looked with pity while others were jealous of her beauty and position as their master's wife. They felt content from inside seeing her in this state.

The huge Rajput mansion was obviously not short of servants, but Reyansh after untying her hands from the bedpost dragged her to the main hall of the mansion and called everyone. The servants stood in two rows with hands joined in front and heads bowing down waiting for the master to command them. Adhira stood there with wobbly legs and tears streaming down her face. She thought to ask for help from them but seeing them like a slave, her hope diminished to a dot.

Reyansh ordered to transfer all the servants from there to one of his various properties. This was just the start of his torture.

He knows very well that a person can only be shattered when struck on the right nerve. And for Adhira dignity was what he was aiming for. In just 4 days he had observed this the most.

"Hey, girl! Go and do the dishes. " The head maid yelled boorishly and went ahead with her work. Maya was a cruel and arrogant head maid. Apart from her Reyansh transferred all the house help.

Adhira tried to stand up but she couldn't feel her legs. After some attempts, she stood up with wobbly legs and went inside but she lost her way to the kitchen.

After almost one and a half hours of wandering here and there, she found her way back to the kitchen. She slowly entered the kitchen with her aching body, but this was not the end of her misery. She looked up to see Reyansh standing there with arms crossed over his chest. His body looked relaxed but only one glance at his face and anyone could tell that he is anything but relaxed. The frenzy in his eyes took Adhira off guard and she shivered with the intensity he looked at her.
