"I'm totally clueless that the sudden turn my life took made me speechless. Since the day I was born I've been receiving the treatment of the slave. I thought that perhaps after marriage my life could change a little. I might be free from the abuse but no, how can my fate be this kind to me?  I was going to marry the crown prince of pratapgarh but ended up marrying the younger prince. My fate is so horrible that now even the crown prince doesn't want me and is left at the altar. Well, I don't expect any less from the younger prince whom I married because I'm his forced bride.", She says to the moon standing near the window of her newly wedded husband 's now her room adorned with the heavy bridal look, her face void of any expression and her eyes hollow like dead.

"Now I'm standing outside my room, not mine anymore because this room now has a co-owner. The altar was for my elder brother and his bride but fate took a leap and I married the princess of Vijaygarh. I don't know what to expect from this marriage because for me she's my forced bride and for her I'm her forced husband. To work on this marriage I'll have to forget the one whom I have started loving, the one for whose one glimpse I would wait for eternity, her chocolaty brown eyes are the ones which I want to see in the morning when I wake-up but it's all over now.", thinking this in his mind, he took a deep breath and opened the chamber doors.
