● My sincere and special thanks to all my reader buddies for patiently waiting for the chapter 🙇‍♀️

Meera is in her thoughts " did Payal took her life, if so why that Burton is still roaming in this haveli, what he wants from Pragya?
If Payal is dead then what happened to Burton after her death?"

She kept walking like that involved in her thoughts and came across the secret door, which Pragya went before.
She touched the door and tried opening it but I didn't moved " I should go along with Pragya next time", She thought and walked away but it was seen by Burton.

Pragya is still sleeping while her past is playing in her mind due to mishap of trance.

1877 Saugandhpur:

Payal is completely broken from inside, she lost her last ray of hope with the death of Veer, now she understood she can't escape or die, she herself became a slave to Burton and started to obey his each and every word.

She is standing at the window and peeping outside, his words echoed in her ears " you have lost your right on yourself"
Burton came to her and find her lost in thoughts, he cleared his throat to gain her attention, hearing him she bowed her head down.

He got confused by her act, " why she is bending her head down infront of me from past few days, is she feeling shy or anything else" he thought.
He said " my love, I heard you didn't had your food, come let's have lunch together", He held her hand and made her walk with him she kept her head down and keep walking along with him.

He made her sit on the chair and served food for her and feed her a morsel which she ate without reacting.
He felt strange for her behavior.
" why she is behaving like this from few days, she is not angry at me or disobeying me, she just accepting my every word and acting according to it.
She used to be lively, perhaps now she is behaving like a puppet.
Did she really got disturbed by the murder incident??
I must know what's wrong with her"

They finished their lunch, she got up and about to go but stopped hearing his words " my lady, we will go out at evening, be ready"
She nodded her head in yes and walked to her room.

Evening:

A chariot came and stood in front of Burton's haveli.
" don't know how my day will end today, I became a slave to him, he is right I lost my right on me" she thought.
But hearing footsteps she understood he is coming.
Soon his voice is heard " my lady let's go" he said and helped her to climb the chariot safely and he shut the door after he sat beside her.

As the chariot is passing the streets everyone kneeled down seeing it.
Payal saw it through past the curtains " he made everyone his slaves, what he will get by doing this.
Don't he understood that we are also humans like him." She thought.
While her inner self warned her
" What are you thinking Payal, you already did a big mistake speaking against him once, which tied your fate with him forever, now if you speak against him again, it is even impossible to imagine what twist your life will take, so be silent and obey him"

Perhaps what she is doesn't know is all the while Burton kept looking at her.
" Today, I will find out what's going in your mind" he thought.

Soon the chariot stopped infront of a garden, they climbed down and started to explore it.
He kept talking all the while showing her the garden " my lady, you know actually a farm used to exist her but it's owner was unable to pay tax, so as per our rules we snatched it and I turned it into a garden, planting different kind of roses, and so on" he said and placed his hand across her shoulder.
She shuddered by his touch but she didn't reacted, he noticed it.

As they kept walking few rain drops fell on them and it increased, " we must take shelter my lady, let's go" he said and started to run quickly towards a tree along with her and they stood under its shade.

Soon the sky got flooded with dark clouds and occasional lightning.

He suddenly pulled her into a hug which jolted her.
She got steady,
His hands started to roam on her back, he removed her veil and let her hair free.

She clutched pallu of her saree controlling her tears.
He placed a kiss in her nape of neck and bit her ear.
She is feeling disgusting by his touch but she didn't reacted.
She kept telling to her " bare it Payal, I should not react...
Control yourself and I should obey him,
otherwise I don't know what he will do with me, he already tried forcing himself on me..
This time I can't go against him if I do I don't know what consequences I must face.
I lost courage to fight back at him.
Even I don't belong to me anymore, I became his slave the moment he married me"

He grabbed her waist and pinned her to the tree, making her scared.
He leaned onto to her leaving no gap between them, her heart beat got increased with fear.
He took her hand and slowly removed her bangles and kissed her fingers, and continued to place kisses along her hand, arm and reached near her face.
He kissed her chin and brushed his lips across her lips, making her to dig her nails deep into her palm to restrain herself from running away from him.
While Alta on her fingers got even more darker with her blood.

His hot breathe is falling on her face, while her breathe is becoming shallow,
He touched her fore head with his and closing his eyes he said
" let's unite forever my love", she gulped down and didn't replied to him.
Silence filled the air for a minute, she kept blinking her eyes to cover up her tears." I think today he will completely snatches myself from me" she cried inside.

He stared at her face for a second and suddenly detached his whip from his uniform and throwed it away and started to unbutton his shirt.

Present:

Meenal came to Pragya's room and find her daughter crying in sleep, tears are rolling down from her eyes,
Feeling worried She shook Pragya calling her name but nothing happened, she got panicked and run from there calling for her brother Megan and Meera.
