The Voice in Her Veins

. . . . .
Aaliya's pov
It had been three hours since I returned from Room 302.
But my body still remembered every whispered word. Every ghosted breath.
Every second he made me crave what he never gave. I didn’t sleep.
How could I?
When even the shadows in this palace felt like they wore his scent?
. . . .
Morning – Aaliya’s Room
The sun barely peeked through the heavy curtains when someone knocked again.
But it wasn’t Gulnaaz this time.
A different girl entered — younger, wide-eyed, and visibly nervous.
Chandni
Chandni
My name is Chandni, miss.
Chandni
Chandni
I’ve been assigned to you… by the prince.
She placed a tray of tea and breakfast down but paused.
Chandni
Chandni
He… he said you’d need your strength today.
Then she looked around the room — as if afraid it had ears — and leaned closer.
Chandni
Chandni
Miss… be careful.
Chandni
Chandni
He chooses his favorites, yes… but his favorites often disappear.
Before I could ask more, she left swiftly. The door clicked shut behind her.
Disappear? What did she mean?
Was it a warning? Or a test?
I reached for my phone on instinct.
A voice message was waiting.
From: Rajveer 🔥👑 Duration: 00:45 My heart skipped. I tapped play.
Rajveer Singh Rathore (ML)

📞🗣️“You woke up thinking about me.” “Didn’t you?” “Don’t answer. Just listen.” “Today… I don’t want your thoughts. I want your body to react before your brain does.” “Take the robe. Go to the mirror. Look at yourself. Then imagine my fingers pulling that silk open. Slow. Merciless.” “When your breath hitches — that’s when you touch your own throat… And pretend it’s my hand guiding yours.” _“Do this.” “Not for me. For your curiosity.” “Because you know what happens when you disobey curiosity…” “It becomes obsession.”
My chest was rising too fast. My skin flushed — not with embarrassment… with heat.
And he wasn’t even in the room.
Mirror – Aaliya’s Room
I stood in front of the mirror, robe tied loosely. I wasn’t obeying him. I was just… curious. That’s all.
I untied the sash.
Silk parted across my chest.
His voice echoed again in my head. “Touch your throat.”
My fingers hovered, then landed gently across my collarbone and moved upward, stopping where his breath had once lingered.

I closed my eyes. And I swear I felt him again. Behind me.
Not physically. But inside me.
. .
This wasn’t normal. This wasn’t safe. And still… I wanted more.

Corridor – That Evening
I stepped out of my room, unable to breathe inside those walls anymore.
And just as I turned the corner—
A voice whispered from behind a column.
Chandni

A..
And before I could reply— She vanished. Like she was never there.

What was happening inside this palace? Was Rajveer playing a game… Or was someone else warning me about a truth I hadn’t uncovered yet?
