To marry you, princess. To make you mine completely....

Eshaani’s mind raced as she tried to grasp what Viraj had just said. The thought of marrying him seemed absurd, given the circumstances. Her anger quickly took over. She squared her shoulders and confronted him, her voice trembling with fury.

“ What do you think of yourself?
I will not marry you. Understand?
Do you even know tha meaning of marriage, a kidnaper like you won't know because all you care about your money right? Why didn't you call my father till now for money in return but let me tell you one thing he will not give you any penny... and about marriage I won't fucking marry you. You fucking kidnapped me and kept me here, and now you think I’ll just agree to marry you? You’re completely wrong. I won’t marry you—not today, not ever.”

Just after saying this, she realised she messed up. She looked up at Viraj to see his bloodshot red eyes due to anger and his clenched jaw, she has awaken the beast now.
His gaze grew menacing as he stepped closer,  and withing a swift he grabbed  her jaw with an aggressive grip, pressing his fingers in her soft skin. His voice was cold and commanding.

“DON’T. RAISE. YOUR. VOICE. AT. ME. PRINCESS.
Don’t ever raise your voice at me again, or else the consequences will not be good for you. And YES, YOU WILL MARRY ME —BY HOOK OR BY CROOK.
I don't fucking want any money and I didn't kidnapped you to return you back. I kidnapped you to keep you with me for my whole life.

He waited for her response but seeing tears in her eyes, fueled his anger and
Without another word, he lifted her over his shoulder with a swift and marched towards the gate and started walking towards the hallway.

Eshaani’s heart pounded in her chest. Her anger mixed with fear as she saw Viraj taking her somewhere.

The gravity in his voice made it clear: his anger was because Eshaani had rejected his marriage proposal.

He marched through a labyrinth of hallways and staircases until he reached a secluded, dimly lit room hidden underground. The space was stark and barren, with not a soul in sight. As he entered, his guards quickly bowed in respect. He carefully lifted Eshaani off his shoulders and set her on her feet.

The room was cast in shadows, but the low light revealed Eshaani’s striking appearance in her deep-back anarkali dress. One of Viraj’s bodyguards, unable to look away from the exposed skin of her back, let his gaze linger. Viraj’s voice cut through the silence with a commanding tone: “EYES DOWN NOW.”
