" How are you going to make me pay, huh? By flirting in public like your mother does? "

Utkarsh now was purely driven by anger for confessing in front of her. He clutched her hand to make her feel pain. To make her cede.

" Stop talking rubbish about my mother! I know your kind-a male chauvinist pig who never misses a chance to slander a woman's character. Is this your plan? Have your friend flirt with me and then discard me? Was what you did to me not enough? "

Utkarsh saw the glimmer of defeat in her eyes, remembering their wedding night. She definitely wanted him to feel the guilt, to remember the promises broken, and ultimately to win this night of bitter arguments. But he also knew that one more hurtful remark would make her yield, soothing his wounded ego.

He pushed her against the wall, the forceful movement closing the space between them. Gently, he brushed the strands of hair away from her cheek, leaning in closer, his breath warm against her skin.

"See, that wasn't my plan, but I guess my friend was an easy catch for you to flirt with. Desperate much for a man's touch because I'm not that interested in you? Craving more from our wedding night? You're so easy to turn on-"

"JUST SHUT UP! You are disgusting. Do you even realize what you did to me?"

"I didn't force you. You can't blackmail me, especially since you weren't a virgin. You cheated on me first."

With all her strength, Monika elbowed him with her fractured hand, freeing herself from his grip. She cried out in pain, clutching her injured hand. Utkarsh moved to check on her, but Monika threw a vase, shattering it on the floor.

Her cry echoed in the room, and he shuddered. A shiver ran down his spine as he saw her quivering lips and the agony in her eyes.

"Monika..."

Her heart tinth the old wounds which he scratched again. Her hand felt like it was on fire, but she managed a smile, tears streaming down her face.

Monika needed to get as far away from him as possible to calm down.

She opened the door and walked out, her heart pounding. This was happening again, the very thing she had wanted to avoid at all costs. The last thing she expected was to hear such venomous words from Utkarsh, shamelessly insulting her mother and questioning her character. It was all too familiar.

Last time, it was Suraj Kapoor who made the same mistake. She had decided to leave that devil's house in the dead of night after a day of unrelenting drama and heart-wrenching screams.

All that drama because she screamed her heart out that day. When she saw him again in that house -Her biggest nightmare which she wished never to see again. Her abuser. Her Shukla uncle. The memories surged back, and she realized she had to escape once more, far away from the pain and the ghosts of her past.

Flashback****

" Why are you coming down beta, earlier you said that you were having headache. " Reena asked her when she saw Monika stepping down from the staircase in her pajama pants. Very underdressed to meet the guest.
