Preeta started narrating from the beginning; how she met Prithvi, the fake relationship, how Prithvi became obsessed with her, his sister Sherlyn, how she was forced to leave India and her broken friendship with Karan and finally her life in Manchester, the abuse and how she met Rishi and Shivani.

"...When I fainted in Shivani's arms that day at the hospital, that's when I got to know I was 3 months pregnant plus the truth about my abuse was out.

Fortunately my baby was alright. He wasn't hurt. It was a miracle since the first 3 months of pregnancy was crucial and miscarriages could easily occur but my baby was strong and fought to remain alive despite I didn't know about its existence.

Before it was just me but then, I had a small life together with mine. This small life in me gave me a new hope for my life. I had given up; I wanted to die but then God sent him to save me. It wasn't a choice, I know I needed to save both of us from him.

As you know, we gathered proofs and then the court procedures started. Prithvi managed to turn the case against us because of the fake marriage certificate.

Remember when I told you that we managed to prove them wrong and we won the case? It wasn't that only... we also played a dirty trick against him. Prithvi didn't know I was pregnant. Because of my small body and the fact that I was skinny because of the abuse, my belly wasn't seen.

Since they believed that we were married because of the fake marriage certificate, we used it to turn it against him. We submitted my pregnancy report which stated I was 4 months pregnant then.

Since my 'marriage' was one year and the truth that Rishi and I weren't having an affair, obviously the judge believed that the baby was Prithvi's.

I still imagined his face when my pregnancy news was out, he was soo shocked and stunned. He pleaded that the baby wasn't his and I was lying but we had fake report to prove that the baby was his.

That's why his punishment was 10 years. If the abuse was only me plus all his illegal business, he would have been in jail for 7 years only. But England was very strict in his laws concerning woman and mothers.

Prithvi's abuse put my baby in danger and this was a very serious crime. We won the case and finally, he was out of our lives. But we were wrong.

One month after he went to jail, I went to visit him. I wanted to start afresh for my baby by leaving my past behind. So I went to see him so that I can finally turn the page..."

FLASHBACK STARTS

Prithvi was brought in a room with a guard standing outside the room. He smirked when he saw Preeta standing in the room.

"Well Well Well isn't this my cheater of a wife." Prithvi mocked. Preeta rolled her eyes at him.

"You and I both know that we are not married. You were the one who claimed it."

"And you used it to win the case. I must admit Preeta Arora, you are very cunning."

"Look Prithvi, I'm not here to fight. I just want to leave everything behind and start afresh. But before I left I just wanted to know the truth behind...the abuse." Prithvi smirked evilly.

"Do you really want to know?... It gives me pleasure. I just wanted to be successful for us but I was failing and all because of you. It just gives me satisfaction hearing you scream and cries but then it pained me also cause I love you." Preeta looked at him in shock and disgust.

"You are really a disgusting man. I wish we will never meet again. Finally you are out of my life. Enjoy your stay in jail because it's now your new home and you deserves it!" Preeta was about to go when Prithvi said someting making her stop.
