Shikwa: The Unspoken Regret (The Price of Blood)
The price of love is paid not in tears, but in blood.
What happens when you burn in the agony of someone's memories day and night for four long years, only for them to stand right in front of you and completely deny your existence?
A Glimpse Into the Story: Four years later, piercing through the haunting silence of the Kalka Shatabdi Express that night, Sohail's eyes locked onto Nikki.
The girl slowly turned her head. Her gaze met his. Those deep, brown eyes-the very eyes in which Sohail once saw his entire universe-were utterly hollow today. There was no shock, no joy, not even a flicker of resentment. They stared back at him like the eyes of a lifeless stone idol.
Excuse me? Her voice was cold and flawlessly composed. Did you say something to me?
It felt as if a jagged thorn had lodged itself in Sohail's throat. He forced a smile, desperately hoping this was some sick, twisted joke.
A misunderstanding? Sohail leaned in slightly, lowering his voice to a dangerous whisper so no one else could hear. You are Nikki. Why are you lying to me? That tiny mole on the left side of your neck, that slight flutter of your right eye when you speak...
This was no illusion. He could recognize that face in a crowd of thousands, or in the pitch-black of the darkest night.
He noticed that even though she was looking into his eyes with absolute fearlessness, the fingers of her left hand were gripping the fabric of her jeans with such brutal force that her knuckles had turned dead white...
A Tale of Boundless Obsession and Spine-Chilling Suspense: To Sohail, Nikki wasn't just his love; she was his very existence. But a catastrophic misunderstanding and a merciless whirlwind of sacrifice and agony had torn them apart. Now that destiny has brought them face-to-face once again, a storm of unanswered questions looms before them:
Has Nikki truly forgotten everything, or is this the prelude to a beautiful, deadly trap?
Will Sohail reclaim his lost love, or will the dark truth destroy them both forever?
This is the story of a feral, all-consuming obsession-where love isn't just about living together, but burning down to ashes for each other. And in this dangerous game, the price of every single breath will be paid in blood.
Dedication: To all those incomplete lovers and broken souls... who embraced the fires of hell in their hearts to save their love, who learned to lose themselves for the sake of passion, but never, ever surrendered.
Note: This is a Dark Romance and Suspense Thriller novel. It features intense emotional themes and mature, passionate romance. Intended for adult readers only.
