"Will you marry me?" he asked, his words startling me. His proposal stemmed more from a desire to possess me than from genuine love. It felt like he wanted to prevent me from seeing anyone else.

"And why would I marry you?" I asked, my voice dripping with sarcasm.

He furrowed his brow. "Because we're dating, aren't we? You shouldn't have any objections, should you? Besides, Aarvi and my family loves you."

I took a step closer, my tone chillingly calm. "And what about you, Anirudh? What about your feelings?

"So you're scared of commitment huh?" I snapped at him.

He looked down, avoiding my gaze. "You know everything I have belongs to you."

"But I never wanted anything from you," I countered, my voice rising. "All I ever wanted, all I ever needed, was for you to love me."

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I gripped his collar, my voice trembling. "Just tell me once, Anirudh, just once that you love me. I would leave everything else behind for you without a second thought."

He continued to avoid my gaze, the silence his damning confession.

"Just go, Anirudh, and don't ever show your face again" I whispered.

I turned away, intending to leave him standing there, but I felt him grip my arm, spinning me around.

"I'm leaving for now," he said, his voice low and dangerous, "but I can't make that other promise."

"What do you mean?"

"I will marry you, Ruhi Shekhawat," he declared, his eyes gleaming with a possessive intensity. "No one can stop me. You've seen the loving side of me, but now you'll witness a side of me you won't soon forget. A side that will go to any extent to have you. A side that will stop at nothing when it's about you" He leaned in and pressed his lips against mine.
