Saanjh: Bound by love and revenge

Shadows of Doubt

---

Siya stood outside room 430, her heart racing. She knocked, feeling a knot in her stomach. But instead of Rudra, a guy in his mid-20s opened the door. He had this cocky smile that made her skin crawl.

Siya: "I-umm, I'm sorry, I guess I've come to the wrong room."

Without waiting for a reply, she quickly turned to leave, but before she could take another step, the guy grabbed her wrist.

Meanwhile, in the party hall, Rudra was busy scanning the crowd, his frustration growing with each second.

Rudra (muttering to himself): "I swear, when I find her, she's going to regret not listening to me. No one ignores Rudra Singhania."

His eyes darted around the room, but there was still no sign of Siya. Just as he was about to head towards another section of the hall, he bumped into Nivyansh.

Nivyansh: "Bhai! What's going on? Why are you in such a rush?"

Rudra: "It's Siya. Have you seen her?"

Nivyansh: "Hmm, Siya... Wait! Yes, I saw her heading towards the lift. Let's ask someone."

They both made their way to the lift just as the doors opened, revealing Mr. Mehra stepping out.

Mr. Mehra: "Oh Rudra, I've been looking for you. I think Siya was looking for you too."

Rudra: "Looking for me? What do you mean?"

Mr. Mehra: "Yeah, I saw her on the 4th floor. I was about to approach her, but I got an important call. After that, I couldn't find her."

Rudra's blood froze for a second. "Wait... the 4th floor?!" Without wasting a moment, Rudra stormed into the lift, with Nivyansh quickly following.

Nivyansh: "Thanks, Mr. Mehra!"

Mr. Mehra barely got a word in before the lift doors shut.

Back outside room no. 430, Siya tried to pull her wrist away.

Siya: "Wai-what are you doing? Let me go!"

But before she could react, the guy yanked her into the room and locked the door.

Siya: "What the hell is wrong with you?! Let me go!" she yelled, slapping his chest as hard as she could.

Rivyansh: "Ahh sweetheart, you disturbed my beauty sleep. Now you're gonna pay for it."

Siya: "Punishment? What do you mean by punishment?"

Rivyansh smirked. "Oh, don't worry. You'll find out."

Without warning, he started kissing her neck, his grip tightening as Siya struggled to push him away.

Meanwhile, Rudra and Nivyansh had reached the 4th floor, searching room by room.

Rudra: "Nivyansh, check the rooms on the left. I'll handle this side."

Door after door, there was no sign of her. Anxiety clawed at Rudra's insides with each knock. He wasn't used to this feeling - losing control. It pissed him off even more.

Inside room no. 430, Siya's desperation hit its peak. She kicked Rivyansh right in his groin, causing him to let out a loud groan of pain.

But instead of backing off, he shoved her onto the bed, hovering over her as he pressed his lips against hers. Siya's heart raced in fear, her limbs fighting back as much as they could.

Rudra, now approaching room no. 12, suddenly heard the loud groan from room no. 430. His head snapped in that direction.

Nivyansh: "Did you hear that?"

They both ran to room no. 430, pounding on the door.

Rudra: "Open the door! NOW!"

When there was no response, Rudra didn't hesitate. He started kicking at the door, the wooden frame creaking under the force.

Inside, Siya's eyes shot wide open as she heard the pounding. She slapped Rivyansh's chest harder, her panic growing.

Finally, the door burst open. Rudra's eyes landed on Siya and Rivyansh, but the sight made him freeze. To anyone walking in, it didn't look like Siya was being attacked. It looked... consensual.

Rudra marched over, grabbing Rivyansh by the collar and yanking him off Siya. Without a word, he started punching him, each hit harder than the last. Siya was sobbing uncontrollably, her body shaking.

Rudra: "Were you forcing her?! How DARE you!"

Rivyansh, trying to catch his breath, grinned through his bloodied lips. "Bro, calm down! It's not what you think. Your wife came here looking for me. She said you don't touch her, and she needed someone who could."

Rivyansh didn't know anything about rudra and siya, he said those words just to save himself,he never thought that it will actually work.

The words hung in the air like poison. Rudra's fists stopped mid-swing. He never touched Siya, that much was true. They had only been married for a few days, but how did this guy know? Rudra's mind raced with the possibilities.

Rivyansh used the moment to free himself and darted for the door. Nivyansh ran after him, but Rudra didn't move. He stood there, his mind spinning, trying to piece everything together.

His gaze slowly shifting to Siya. She was crying, her body trembling in the corner of the room. For a split second, his heart softened. But then Rivyansh's words echoed in his head again, and rage took over.

He stormed towards Siya, grabbing her by the arm and pinning her against the wall.

Rudra: "How did he know? You told him, didn't you? I knew you were spoiled, but I never thought you'd be this... this *characterless*."

Siya: "N-no, I didn't say-"

Rudra cut her off, his face twisted in anger. "Shut up! I don't want to hear another word from your filthy mouth."

He tightened his grip on her arm, dragging her out of the room like she was nothing more than an object. Siya tried to pull away, her arm turning red from his grip, but he didn't care. He was blinded by his anger.

As they reached the lift, they passed room 420, where loud noises could be heard, but Rudra didn't even pause. His mind was focused on one thing: his rage toward Siya.

Q-Will Nivyansh manage to catch Rivyansh, and what will happen if he does?

Q-What will Rudra do next after discovering Siya in the compromising situation with Rivyansh?

Q-How will Siya respond to Rudra's accusations and anger? Will she be able to defend herself?

Q- what was the notice from room no.420? What's happening there?
