Next morning, I wake up to a knock on my door. I saw with my hooded eyes that's him. standing in the doorway.

I hurriedly got up and held my dupatta on my shoulders. He takes slow steps towards me like a predictor, and I am sinking back until my back hits the wall behind me.

He crouched to my level and placed a food tray in front of me.

"Eat this and get yourself comfortable because it's your home now." He said, and I nodded because, after last night's harsh words from my mother, I don't have any other choice. I don't have any other options. I have to give this marriage a chance. "Good girl. I'll see you tonight." He said that and left.

All day, I've been thinking about why my maa did this to me. Is this who she was? She hates me so much, and I'm stupid to think that she loves me and cares for me.

Her behavior changed a little after my dad's death, but I never thought that she hated me; all of the affection and love were just pretending.

I'm all lost in my thoughts when a maid comes and tells me to come downstairs.

"Madam, sir is waiting for you for dinner." She said that and left.

I don't want to go, but before I could say anything to her, she was gone. So I headed downstairs.

He is sitting there on the dining table, waiting for me.

"Come, let's have dinner." He gestured for me to sit beside him.

"I'm not hungry." I replied, shuddering.

"I'm not asking." He said, And I'm standing in my place. Seeing that I'm not coming He stood up, came to me, and clenched my jaw with his hand. "Are you planning to die because of a starving little bird? Then I'm sorry; I don't allow you." He said. 

"It's hurting," I said, trying to free myself. "I told you I'm not hungry."

"You are not hungry?" He asked, and I shake my head in no. "Good, then let's not waste time. We should continue what was left yesterday, and I have already given you enough time." He said he was coming close to my face and holding my waist tightly in his grip.

"What do you mean?" I asked in a whisper.

"I mean, let's consummate marriage." He said it in a husky voice, and my eyes were wide open in shock.

"No please......."

"I have already given you enough time, and I'm your husband; it's my right." He said it while throwing me on his shoulder and heading towards our room. Ignoring all my pleadings

He threw me on the bed, and I tried to run, but he hovered above me. I tried to hit him to save myself, but he held my hands in his hand and pinged them above my head.

"NO PLEASE."
