Emotions elude me for the moment, yet the weight of reality begins to settle in, seeping slowly into my consciousness.

No, he reminded himself, her family had spun a web of deception, with lies about her very existence followed by damning accusations. She had to bear the consequences of her family's deceit. How dare they entertain the thought of hoodwinking the Shekhawats? With that thought, he starts walking towards the door but something in him tells him to check on her.
