"Didn't you say she is your lover? Then go on make her yours. Go sit on the mandap," the man pointing Gun to my head mocked as he pushed me forward. I want to kill that bastard and I easily can if not for the girls who are kept at Gun point because of me. I definitely can't fight 20 men with 4 lives at stake. I silently sat beside her who is weeping silently. I hate myself and these men for getting her into such situation. As the priest started wedding rituals, there is nothing I could do except for praying to God to send my team sooner. But nothing of that sort happened and the priest handed over the sacred thread to me asking me to tie it around her neck. For the first time in the past 2 hours she lifted her eyes and looked at me. Her eyes turned blood red and her face became pale due to all the crying. My heart clenched seeing her state. "Tie it," I heard someone shout and closed my eyes before opening them again. I bent down and "I am sorry, ma. I'll free you from this soon," I promised her freedom before tying the sacred thread around her neck making her my wife. From the moment I saw her, I was attracted to her. The attraction turned into love as our meets increased. I wanted to propose her the way she deserves and make her my wife with blessings of both our families but here we are stuck in this situation due to my sheer stupidity of calling her mine.

She is empathic and knows how to defend herself and put forth her points when necessary. But then he came crashing into her world and pulled her into his.
