Rudraksh POV,

Today was one of the most intense and demanding days I’ve had in a while. After wrapping up my office work, I immediately made my way to a secluded basement deep within the forest. This hidden location serves as one of my many strongholds, and it was here that my men had detained the individual responsible for the recent surge in human trafficking—a crime that I find utterly intolerable. As the most feared and powerful Mafia king in Asia, my influence extends far beyond the continent. My reputation precedes me, striking fear into the hearts of those who dare cross my path. However, my power is not driven by greed or personal gain. My mission is to eradicate the crimes that destroy the lives and futures of innocent people, especially young girls. Human trafficking, in particular, is an atrocity I cannot and will not stand for. Coming from a country where women are revered and worshipped, the idea of them being sold like commodities for someone’s vile pleasure fills me with a deep, burning rage. These predators, who exploit the vulnerable and the innocent, have no place in this world, and I make it my duty to ensure that they face the consequences of their heinous actions.

After thoroughly punishing him, I cleaned up, got dressed, and stepped out of the basement. Amandeep was waiting for me and informed me about Sachet Rathore's sister. As I've made clear, I despise crimes against women, but this situation is different. This girl crossed paths with Kartavya bhai, and what she and her brother did to him is unforgivable. They both will face the consequences, but they’ll pay in my way no exceptions.

I recently uncovered details about the girl’s upcoming marriage, and I’ve decided that I will be the one to marry her. Once she’s mine, I’ll make sure she experiences hell on earth. When I arrived at their place, after enduring all the useless chatter, Vijaypratap finally revealed the name of his daughter the one he’s kept hidden from the world for the past 25 years. He did this in a futile attempt to shield her from the consequences of his crimes. But blood is blood, and it’s clear that his children have inherited his dark nature. Now, both of them will pay for their deeds. I’m standing here, waiting for the girl who’s about to become my wife in just a few minutes. If only she knew that she’s walking into a prison, not a marriage. She and her brother will soon face the wrath of Rudraksh Malhotra because they dared to cross my brother, Kartavya Khurana. They will see the worst side of me, and they will regret ever getting involved in this dangerous game.

Author's POV,
Rudraksh stood in the dimly lit hall, waiting for his bride with a steely calm. His thoughts were a whirlwind of plans and vengeance, yet his expression remained unreadable. Amandeep approached him quietly, sensing the tension that surrounded his boss like a dark cloud.

Amandeep: "Sir, don't you think it's strange that he disclosed his daughter's name so easily and is ready to marry her off to you?"

Rudraksh: "I know, it is. But Vijaypratap Rathore is a selfish man. He even tried to kill his own father for the sake of property. What else can you expect from such a person?"

Amandeep nodded, understanding the unspoken command. Rudraksh, lost in his thoughts, suddenly felt a gaze fixed on him. Instinctively, he turned, and what he saw left him momentarily stunned. Standing before him was a petite figure, delicate yet striking—Ruhanika. Their eyes locked, and for a moment, the world around them seemed to blur. Ruhanika, who had been trembling with fear just moments before, felt an unexpected calm wash over her the instant her eyes met Rudraksh’s. The sweat that had formed on her palms began to dry, and her hands, which had been shaking with anxiety, grew steady. Her heart, which had been racing with dread, began to slow to a normal rhythm. She didn’t understand why, but in that moment, she felt an inexplicable sense of safety in his presence, unaware that the very man before her was marrying her with the intent to break her. Her mind wrestled with the oddity of it all—how could she possibly trust someone she had never met, someone she knew nothing about? Yet, her heart defied logic, insisting that the man standing before her would never cause her harm. She couldn't comprehend why, but she felt an undeniable pull toward him. There was something in his eyes, something deep and unreadable, that made her believe she could gaze into them for a lifetime. Unaware of the fact that, those very eyes hid a storm of vengeance, a plan to turn her life into the very nightmare she was trying to escape.
