Finally, she whispered, "How could you?"
The words trembled in the air of their bedroom-soft lamplight casting long shadows across the silk sheets that still smelled like him.
Anvi stood at the foot of the bed, phone clutched in her shaking hand, the paused video frozen on a grainy frame she wished she could unsee.
Ranvijay sat on the edge, elbows on his knees, watching her with those whiskey eyes that had always made her feel safe.
Until tonight.
Six months of marriage.
Six months of waking up to his quiet "Good morning, meri biwi jaan," his fingers brushing hair from her face like she was something precious.
Six months of stolen kisses that never went further-because he'd smile against her lips and murmur, "Not yet, Bambolina. First your dreams. First your white coat with 'Dr. Rawat' on it."
Six months of feeling cherished in ways she never knew existed.
And now this.
A video-sent anonymously to her phone.
Him in a dark warehouse.
Blood on his hands.
Her stepmother's body on the floor.
His voice-cold, final-giving the order.
Anvi's throat burned. "You killed her."
Not a question.
Ranvijay didn't flinch, Didn't look away either.
"I did."
Two words.
It was Quiet. Absolute.
She took a step back, phone dropping to the carpet with a soft thud. "You're... you're him. Thanatos. Mafia. All of it."
