The Royal Tatvas

Chapter 35

Vivaan punched Ishaan and grabbed Yug's collar. Suddenly, they heard footsteps. Turning around, he saw Abhay carrying Vidhi out of the burning room, unconscious.

He gently laid Vidhi on the sofa and returned. Vivaan stroked her cheeks, rested his forehead against hers, and began to cry. With Vidhi safe, he felt life returning to him.

Aditi gazed at Abhay and embraced him tightly. Abhay stroked her hair, returning the hug. Aditi then pulled back slightly and turned her attention to Yug. She grabbed his collar and exclaimed, "You despicable man. Is there any shame left in you? I despise that I ever loved a monster like you. Look at her condition. Had anything happened to her today, I would have killed you."

Yug questioned her, "Did you ever love me? You've forgotten me, and now you're with this bloody..." Before he could finish, Aditi slapped him.

"Watch your language. He's my husband. And as for loving you, yes, I did. But you robbed me of my life, my mother. You think I could forgive you? I despise you, Yug, and now, as you seek revenge, prepare to meet your end."

With those words, she left. Abhay gave Yug a smug look and said, "I won, Trisha. You lost her. Now weep over your destiny." 

Vivaan cradled Vidhi in his arms and declared, "I despise calling you 'brother,' Yug Pratap Singh. You're unworthy of Hukum Rani Sa. This is the best thing that could have happened to you."

Vivaan departed with Vidhi while Abhay, with a smile, followed suit. Stepping outside, he donned his sunglasses. Aditi, hitting her forehead, remarked, "Look at him. Even in such a grave situation, he doesn't miss a chance to show off his heroism."

Abhay settled into his car and sped off on the deserted road.

Aditi, gazing at Abhay's palm, found his eyes meeting hers. Embracing him tightly, she peered into his eyes and expressed, "Thank you, Hukum Sa. Today, you didn't just save one life; you saved three—mine, Vivaan's, and Vidhi's."

Abhay stroked her cheek and spoke, "If that's the case, Hukum Rani Sa, I didn't just save three lives; I saved four. Vivaan, Vidhi, my lifeline, and myself."

Aditi embraced him, and at that moment, he felt something sharp against his abdomen. Aditi stepped back and aimed a gun at him.

"What did you think, Hukum Sa? That I would forget how you pushed me off the cliff?" Abhay raised his hands, smiling.

"I didn't presume anything, Princess," he replied, taking the gun and placing it against his chest. "Shoot here, or else I'll claim you in my next life as well. And even if you do shoot, I will find you again. There's no escape, Princess."

Aditi turned away, saying, "Leave, Hukum Sa. You're all the same." Abhay cradled her face, gently wiping her eyes with his thumb.

"What happened? Don't you want me to see the love for you, Hukum sa, in these beautiful eyes?" Aditi tried to free herself but was unable to do so.

Abhay pulled her closer and said, "Accept it, Princess. You're in love with me. I know very well that you've known about the past since the first day we got married, and I also know you added magical poison to my coffee yesterday. But you ended up drinking all of it after kissing me. So why didn't you stop me?"

Aditi looked away and threw the gun. She stepped back and said, "I don't want to trust you people. You're all the same. You killed my dad, then my mom, and took my brother away from me."

Abhay looked at Aditi and said, "I didn't kill them. I only killed one person, and that is Trisha, to get my Aditi back."

Aditi's eyes filled with tears, and she was about to leave the room when Abhay pulled her back and said, "Princess, think about it. Could Trisha have done what you did today?"
