I was devastated. It wasn’t just that my life had turned upside down, but I had believed Ahaan was different. And he was—so different that he was about to destroy everything I knew.

I stood frozen as Ahaan grabbed my hand, dragging me out of the hospital room. Confusion clouded my mind, questions swirled, but deep down I knew he wouldn't give me any answers. I barely registered where he was taking me until we reached outside. A group of guards—probably working for him—stood by a car with its door open. He shoved me inside and got in after me.

I couldn't bring myself to speak. Silence filled the car, and I didn't even notice when I drifted off. When I woke up, Ahaan was right next to me, his face inches away. I jerked back as reality hit me. We were still in the car, but now parked outside a... mansion? I whispered, "Where are we?"

"At my place," he replied.

Before I could ask more, he grabbed my hand and led me towards the mansion. Inside, the place was breathtaking, but my mind was racing with questions. Finally, I managed to stammer out, "Ah... Ahaan... I don't understand... who even are you?"

He pulled me closer, his voice cold. "You have no right to ask questions, Miss Aisha. Remember the papers you signed a few minutes ago?"

Anger flared within me, and I pushed him away, my voice rising. "What do you think you're doing? I don't understand any of this—those papers and you... My life was already in ruins, and now you... I can’t believe I ever trusted you..."

Ahaan’s expression darkened as he twisted my arm painfully. "Don't you dare raise your voice to me," he hissed. "This is my home, and, so are you. But that doesn't give you the right to speak against me."

For the first time, his voice made me shudder with fear. Tears streamed down my face as I pleaded, "Please... it hurts..."

His reply was chilling. "This is just the beginning. Save your tears, Aisha... you'll need them later."

I was filled with confusion...I didn't understand anything, the guy I met in college who was so sweet to me, all of a sudden changed my whole life...
Who was he?
