You Are Only Mine Forever - The Sterling Obsession

New York City Heavy snowfall, -10 degrees. At 2 AM, the last bus from Manhattan was running on a deserted highway. On the last seat of the bus, Aria Sterling was sitting. 24 years old, beautiful, but her eyes were red from crying. Her face was covered with a big woolen scarf, and she had a small bag in her hand. Aria was looking outside the window and thinking in her mind - "It's been 2 years since I married Viraj... What did I get in 2 years? A golden cage. From outside, everyone thinks I am the Queen of New York, Mrs. Viraj Sterling... but from inside? From inside, I die every day. Viraj doesn't love me, he is obsessed with me. He thinks I will leave him. That's why he doesn't let me go anywhere, doesn't let me meet anyone. He even threatened my own father. Today he crossed all limits... In the party, he shouted in front of everyone - 'You are nothing without me'. That's it... it's enough. I have to run away... even if I die in this snow..." Tears were continuously flowing from her eyes. Then - SCREEECH... The bus stopped with a sudden jerk. "HEY! WHY DID YOU STOP THE BUS?" All the passengers started shouting. Within 2 minutes, 3 black Range Rovers came and stopped in front of the bus. 10-12 Guards in black uniforms with guns entered the bus. One Guard came straight to Aria - "Ma'am, please remove your scarf." Aria's whole body started shivering. She slowly removed the scarf. The Guard immediately called - "Sir, she is inside the bus." And then, tearing through the snow, he entered the bus - Viraj Sterling. 27 years old, 6 feet tall, fair skin, blue eyes, Black Suit. Seeing him, all the people in the bus stood up in fear. When Aria saw him, the ground slipped beneath her feet. Her face turned pale with fear. Viraj came straight to Aria and said - "Jaan, where were you going leaving me alone? And in this middle-class bus?" Aria said nothing. Viraj said again - "You are Viraj Sterling's wife, we have 10 luxury cars at home and you are in this bus? Come on, get up, we have to go home." Aria didn't even move from her place. Viraj stared at her and said slowly but in a dangerous voice - "Aria, get up, otherwise I will end the jobs of all the people in this bus today itself." Aria closed her eyes in fear, tears started flowing and she slowly got up and stood beside Viraj. Viraj grabbed her shoulder from the side and pressed it hard. Aria clenched her fists in pain. He brought her down from the bus, opened the car door. Aria sat silently. Viraj sat beside her and looked at Aria in anger and said - "You like to run away very much, right? Today I will tell you what is the result of running away." And he started the car. In 20 minutes, the car entered a very big Mansion. In front was a luxurious bungalow, security all around. Viraj pulled her hand and took her inside. He took her to a room where Aria's photos were hanging all around. He called 2 Maids, both came with a Tub in their hands. Aria started looking at that Tub in fear. Both maids went inside the washroom with the Tub. After some time they came out and said - "Sir, everything is ready." Viraj lifted Aria in his arms in anger and took her inside the washroom. Aria was shocked when she looked towards the Bathtub. The entire Bathtub was filled with ice. Viraj made her stand on the ground and came close to her ears and said in a calm but terrifying voice - "Tonight you will stand in it for the whole night." Aria started looking at him in fear. Viraj lifted her and threw her into the ice-filled Tub. In the freezing cold, Aria started shivering, repeatedly begging Viraj for forgiveness but Viraj was not affected. After about 2 hours, when Viraj saw that Aria's condition was getting very bad and she was about to faint, Viraj picked her up in his arms and took her to the room and laid her on the Bed. Aria opened her tear-filled eyes slightly and looked towards Viraj. Viraj angrily unbuttoned his shirt and threw it on the floor. He then approached Aria's and removed her clothes from her body. In a short while, Aria's pain echoed through the room. He leaned close to her ear, his breath cold against her skin, and whispered, "You tried to run away from me, baby... now I will do something you never even imagined in your worst nightmare. After tonight, you will forget the meaning of escape."
