But it was too late

But it was too late. A cloth was pressed against my mouth, and the pungent smell of chloroform enveloped me. Everything went dark.

I managed to open my eyes with great difficulty because of the chloroform, and as I opened them, I saw two familiar faces - Rihan and Uncle Vardan. Seeing Rihan, I was confused; I thought he had come to help me, and tears welled up in my eyes. But my thoughts were shattered when Vardan's gaze fell on me. I started trembling, my body went numb, and I felt pain in my arms and legs, which were tied to a chair with force. I stuttered, 'Rihan...' and looked towards him, but what he said next left me confused.

"'Oh, my to be wife has woken up,' he said with a creepy smile.

"'Rihan, what are you saying? Please save me,'
I begged him, but this time Vardan started coming towards me, and I shook my head in denial, my lips trembling.

Vardan came close to me, held my hair tightly from behind, and forcefully pulled my head back, causing intense pain. I screamed in agony.

"Leave her right now," Vardan,  Rihan shouted at him. I was so confused about what was happening. Vardan started laughing, and Rihan came close to me and sat next to me in another chair, gesturing Vardan to leave, and he left.

I looked at Rihan and said, "Rihan, please take me from here. I want to go home." I spoke hesitantly, but Rihan grabbed my chin, brought his face close to mine, and I was shocked.

Which home, baby? That home where that bastard Vyom kidnapped you and took you? Do you want to go to him? He doesn't even love you. And baby, I think you still don't know what love is; let me show you what it is." Rihan said, and he removed my dupatta from my neck and threw it away.

For a moment, I couldn't understand what just happened, but I started feeling uneasy with Rihan. Somehow, I realized that Rihan wasn't going to help me.

"Rihan, stay away from me! And if you say one more word against my husband, it won't be good for you. I yelled in anger.

"So what will you do, tell me what will you do, you're mine, after all, your husband couldn't trouble me, so what will you do? And baby, now you're only mine, only Rihan's baby, you don't know how much I love you." Rihan said, and he touched my cheek with his finger in a disgusting way, making me feel repulsed. I turned my face away.

But then he started whistling in a psychopathic manner; I'd say he's lost his mind. I'm extremely scared of him; what if he does something to me? What if no one comes to save me?

No, I know Vyom will come to save me.

You know why Vyom slapped you that day? I'll tell you. Hearing Rihan's words, I looked at him with curiosity, wondering why Vyom had done that I nodded in agreement.

"I had decided from the very beginning that I would claim you as mine. You also deserved to know everything. When we arrived at Rathore Mansion and I saw you wearing the vermilion and mangalsutra of that bastard's name, my blood boiled. That day, I vowed to take you away from Vyom, and soon after, you invited me to his house for a party, which seemed like the perfect opportunity. I sought Vardan Chacha's help and sent Vyom a letter. I was certain that after reading it, he would come home and you two would fight, Vyom would leave you, and I would take you with me. But everything went wrong that day. And I swore that no matter what, even if I die, I'll make you mine," Rihan said, walking towards me.
