Author's pov:-

In the shadowy depths of a sprawling mansion, bathed in the eerie glow of dimmed chandeliers Varika Siddhant Rai, the only daughter of the notorious underworld don, stood at the centre of a dimly lit room dressed in a bridal attire. Her piercing gaze fixed upon Akarsh, a simple businessman , while holding a gun rested with unsettling ease in her gloved hand , keeping her one leg on the table on which he was sitting.

"Varika, you won't get anything by doing all this. Why are you doing this?" Asked Akash, gazing at her.

"Akarsh, my dear, your choices have brought you to this inevitable moment. There's no turning back. Look at your family, what's their fault in this, you were the one who rejected me and broke my poor heart then why do you want them to get the punishment?" Said Varika, while caressing his face with the gun and he jerked her hand.

Akarsh, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, glanced anxiously around the room. His eyes met those of his family, held captive by Varika's loyal henchmen, their fear mirrored in desperate expressions.

"Varika, please! This isn't the way. There must be another solution. I beg you, spare my family from this nightmare." He said joining his hands in front of her, tears brimming in his eyes looking at his family condition while Vanika wiped his tears with the edge of her gun.

"Arre mere hone vale pati ke ankhon me ansu? Please don't cry dear. I can't bear this so please free everyone from this. Your family's fate rests solely on your shoulders, Akarsh. The only way to ensure their safety is for you to marry me. It's as simple as that." Varika said, shrugging her shoulders. Her eyes narrowed, and her voice, a venomous whisper, echoed through the room.

Akarsh turned his gaze back to his family, their eyes imploring him to find a way out of this predicament.

"Ok!! I'll do whatever you want. Just spare my family." He said with a sigh as there was no other chance.

"See Dad, I said you it's simple. Aapko kuch karne ki zarurat hi nahi hui." She said turning towards her father, Siddhant Rai, the most famous underworld Don who was sitting on the sofa keeping his leg on the table.

"Well , I knew this beta. Chalo everyone play some music bhai, Sidhhant Rai ki beti ki shadi hai. Samdhi ji aap bhi aaiye na muh meetha kijiye." He said and moved towards Akarsh's father who was standing there helpless.

"And listen one thing carefully everyone, aaj ke baad se meri beti aapke ghar ki bahu hai. Agar kisi ne isse zara si bhi takleef pahochai to you all know the consequences very well." He said as he hugged Akarsh's father.

The dimly lit room bore witness to a forced union. unwilling participants. Akarsh, adorned in a borrowed wedding attire, stood at the makeshift altar, his eyes flickering between the pistols and his captive family.

As he filled her hairline with vermilion and tied the holy thread around her neck , he looked in her eyes, his eyes were full of anger and hatred he had for her at that moment while her eyes were filled with a different emotion, her love for him.

"I hope you're satisfied. This marriage changes nothing. I will never forgive you, and I will never accept you as my wife." He declared in a low voice, still looking at her with the same emotions.

"Your forgiveness is not required, and your acceptance will come in time. I know this is not a way but Akarsh I love you. And in time, you will come to love me." Varika said as she met his gaze with an eerie calmness.

"Your love is as forced as this marriage. I will never love you." He said, turning his gaze away from her .

"I'll make you fall for me. You have no choice but to embrace the inevitable." She said as the priest declared them as husband and wife.
