Mafia's Forbidden Predilection

🥀Wed-Lock🥀

After 3 weeks Avni joined back her work. Till then that story was like wildfire everywhere and people were only talking about it. Maximum people were blaming her. Avni, with her intelligence and beauty was the reason for their jealousy. Women jealous  and men furious on her because she never gave into their dirty proposals. Now that they got a chance, they had no intention to leave her easily.

-"Why will a rich man run after her? What is so special in her? I tell you, she blackmailed him for money and that's why he tried to scare her. Both the sisters are same. Gold diggers..... "

-"I think they have a business of trapping rich boys. "

-"She slept with so many people..... "

-"Even her family is behind it. "

Avni was so broken by their comments. Everyone was looking at her so peculiarly.

"Chand? Are you okay? "

She looked at the voice and cried out, "Manav......... "

Manav sat before her and sighed, "What are they telling? Is this true? "

Avni looked at him with blood red eyes, "If you believe them and you are here to taunt me then you can go. I am good being alone. "

She turned away her face sobbing. Manav said, "Chand you are misjudging me. I am not here to taunt you... I want to know why they are saying so? What happened to you? Nobody is telling me the truth. Everyone is busy blaming you. But I trust my Chand. Tell me what has happened to you... I am with you. "

She took a long breathe and said, "I am not Chand......  It is a forged identity I created to save myself from my unfortunate fate. I am Avni Dutta. "

"What? , " Manav looked like he heard something wrong. Avni told him everything about Neil and how her life was turned upside down. How she and her sister ran away from Mumbai to Kashmir and then what happened.

"Oh my God.... I can't believe it....... Did you inform the police? "

"I did... Currently they are in jail but for how long? They are powerful and can buy the law. I am scared..... Manav you know I have seen the obsession in his eyes for me...... He can go to any extent. I am not safe even now...... If Rithvik was here.... Then nothing like this would have happened. "

"Don't cry...... Avni.... Whatever happened wasn't your fault. I- I have something to tell you..... Will you marry me? "

Avni gasped at his words, "What are you telling Manav? "

He kept his hand in her and said, "Yes..... From the day I saw you I fell for you..... I wanted to propose you romantically but then this happened........... Trust me I love you. If you marry me, you will be safe at the other hand "

Avni was in deep thinking. After Rithvik she never thought to give her heart to someone. Now situations were compromising. She couldn't love Manav but at least she would be safe. Neil would leave her thought was she was married. Manav would be a shield for her. With times she would adjust with him.

"What are you thinking Avni? If you say yes then we will get married tomorrow at the temple. If you approve then otherwise I won't force you... You will still remain my friend. "

"No manav..... I want to marry you tomorrow itself...... Today you will go to my parents and ask my hand from them. "

"Really Avni? You are sure? "

"Yes... I am. "

Avni's parents were ecstatic after the proposal and immediately approved it.They decided to get married in the Shankaracharya Temple of Srinagar.
