Saanjh: Bound by love and revenge

The weight of guilt.

Got it! Let me incorporate that for you and adjust the scene accordingly.

---

**Nivyansh was checking the rooms when he found Rudra sitting in one, head hung low.**

Nivyansh: Bhai-

Rudra: *Don't,* don't call me Bhai anymore. I’m not your Bhai. I-I became a r-rapist, Nivyansh. I was going to force my own wife. How could I even think of committing such a crime? I should die... I should die.

*Nivyansh watched in shock as Rudra stood up, starting to walk out. Desperation flooded his face as he grabbed Rudra’s arm.*

Nivyansh: I know what you were going to do was a crime, but ending your life is not the solution. You can still fix things.

Rudra: *How, Nivyansh?* How will I fix this? I know I married her for revenge, thought I’d torture her for a while and then throw her back at her parents' house so they’d suffer too. But I *never* planned to hurt her physically... never to force her. And today... I almost did it. I’m no better than a monster.

Nivyansh: What you did was wrong. But now, Siya decides your fate. You’re her culprit. She’ll decide what to do with you.

Rudra: *Siya...* What do I say to her? I tortured her, Nivyansh. And today, I nearly raped her... I don’t deserve her forgiveness.

Nivyansh: You have to ask. You’ve done terrible things, but it's her decision now. Also... there’s something you need to know.

Rudra: What now?

Nivyansh: Siya... she’s not the real daughter of the Mehtas.

*Rudra froze, blinking as if he'd heard wrong.*

Rudra: What? That’s impossible! I hired detectives before the wedding, and they confirmed she’s their only daughter.

Nivyansh: Those detectives were bribed. The truth is Siya is their stepdaughter. Her real parents were killed by Raj Mehta—her father was a police officer who gathered evidence against him. After killing them, he adopted Siya for God knows what reason, probably for his own twisted benefit. He kept his real children hidden abroad, but Siya… she was never truly his daughter.

Rudra: *Wait... what?!* How did I not know this?

Nivyansh: Because you were blinded by anger. You didn’t look closely enough.

Rudra: And how do you know all of this?

Nivyansh: Remember when Rivyansh ran away earlier? I chased him down.

Rudra: Yeah… so he told you this?

Nivyansh: Not exactly. At first, he lied. But when our men started beating him, he confessed a lot of things. At one point, in his anger, he said, *Why are you beating me for just a maid?* And after that I got confused and asked him to explain everything clearly because I thought he met siya today for the first time, at first he refused to say anything but when I siad I'll kill him then He said evrything and even admitted that he had been waiting to get her in his bed for years. He didn’t think anyone would care because to him, she was just a servant. He also said, he wanted siya because every girl was crazy for him but siya never even glanced at him.

Rudra: What…

Nivyansh: Rivyansh is friends with Raj Mehta’s real children, Riya and Sakshi. Whenever he visited their house, they all treated Siya like a maid. He had no respect for her. After hearing that, I had our men kidnap one of the maids from the Mehta house. She confirmed it—Siya was adopted, and they never treated her like family.

*Rudra clenched his fists, rage simmering in his eyes.*

Rudra: I’m going to destroy that entire Mehta family and those detectives... but right now... how do I even face Siya? After all that I’ve done?
