15. Daksh's Menacing encounter

Mumbai, 

A girl stood at the bus stand, possibly waiting for a bus. Her face was covered with a stole, revealing only her blue eyes, which were darting around nervously, as if she was trying to avoid someone. Just then, a bus arrived. The girl quickly got on and, after a moment's hesitation, turned to take one last look at the city. Her eyes widened in shock. 

Daksh was playing with a lighter in his hand. His bodyguards were surrounding the area, holding cans of kerosene. 

Before she could say anything, she heard Daksh's creepy voice, "Get down at your own or I'll burn this bus station along with the bus." 

The menacing tone in his voice left her no choice. She knew he wasn't bluffing if he said it, he would do it. She got off the bus. Daksh approached her, looked into her eyes, and ripped off her stole, throwing it aside. 

Siya stood frozen, her fearful eyes locked on him. Seeing her helplessness, Daksh gave a devilish smile, grabbed her hand, and dragged her forcefully to his car. He shoved her into the seat and sat beside her, saying, "What did you think, butterfly? You could fool me that easily by bringing a dead body in your place? Nice move, but fooling Daksh Agnihotri isn't that simple. And there's still a punishment waiting for you... for leaving me." 

He turned to the driver and said, "Stop." 

The driver instantly stopped the car. 

"Out"  Hearing Daksh's stern voice, the driver quickly got out without a word. Daksh took the wheel himself and forced Siya into the passenger seat, then began driving fast. 

Siya, terrified by his speed, pleaded, "Daksh, please slow down, I'm scared." 

"Don't worry wifey, there's no need to be afraid I won't let you die," he said, and accelerated even more. 

After half an hour, he stopped the car outside a farmhouse, got out, and opened the door for her. Grabbing her hand, he dragged her inside and pushed her hard into a room, causing her to almost fall. Siya's eyes widened in horror at what she saw. She turned to Daksh, pleading, "No.. no please Daksh no, you can't do this Please I won't do anything like this again, I promise, Daksh" 

"You made a mistake, and there has to be a punishment wifey, so that you never think of leaving me again. Do you have any idea how much I suffered without you for the past week?" he said, glaring at her. He approached her and tied her hands on either side. 

At that moment, the German Shepherds, which had been tied up until now, were set free. Daksh knew very well that Siya was terrified of dogs. They were restrained just enough that they couldn't bite her, stopping an inch away from her. But they barked incessantly, causing Siya to tremble in fear, tears streaming down her face. Daksh left her there, watching her through a camera. 

Siya, overwhelmed with fear, thought to herself, "You're not trapping me Daksh you're the one trapped in my game this time. I knew you'd come to the bus station. This time, I laid the bait, and you fell for it. Just wait until I get rid of these dogs." 

An hour later after crying herself into exhaustion the door opened and Daksh entered sending the dogs away. He untied her hands and lifted her into his arms. She rested her head on his chest, her face blank, eyes staring straight ahead. 

Daksh took her to his room, sat her on the bed, and applied ointment to her wounds. 

Siya, looking at him, said, "pehle khud hi dard dete ho or phir khud hi malham lagate ho"
(You hurt me first, and then you treat the wounds yourself) 

Daksh looked up at her, his eyes meeting hers. Her blue eyes, filled with tears, stared back at him. 

While one pair of eyes showed pain, the other's were devoid of any emotion. Staring back into her eyes, Daksh said, "Why do you give me the chance to hurt you? If you hadn't left me, I wouldn't have done any of this. And by the way, our wedding night is still incomplete. Now that your punishment is over for today, go to sleep. Tomorrow, we'll continue where we left off." 

Hearing this, Siya's throat went dry, and she looked at Daksh in fear. Seeing her reaction, Daksh smirked and said, "You know what I like most about you, wifey?" 

Siya looked at him with questioning eyes, to which Daksh replied, "I love your scared eyes. I really like it when they fill with fear at the sight of me." 

Saying this, he kissed her eyes, then laid her down and went to the bathroom. 

As soon as he left, Siya opened her eyes and stared out the window, whispering, "Everything will change Daksh everything, Things will be exactly as I want them to be. You'll think it's your game, but in reality, it'll be mine. I'm going to use your obsession to my advantage Just wait and watch." 

With that, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. 

The next morning, at Raichand Mansion 

Kriyanshi opened her eyes to find Rivansh still holding her. As she slowly tried to pull away, his cold voice stopped her. 

"Trying to leave me again, wifey?" 

With a fake smile on her lips, she replied, "My whole body is stiff, and I need to get ready. Let me go, I'm not leaving the house, or you." 

Her words hit the mark. Rivansh opened his eyes and looked at her. His expression revealed nothing of what he was thinking, but Kriyanshi was just glad he'd released her from his grip. 

**To be continued...** 

For those who are confused, let me clarify: I'm now referring to Divya as Siya, and Siya as Kriyanshi, because the real Kriyanshi is dead. When her truth is revealed, I might switch back to calling Siya by her original name to avoid confusion. But for now, just understand that Divya is Siya, and Siya is Kriyanshi.
