@Taranya6 That night, she was found by Bade Thakur, Rivan’s father. Shocked by her condition and her story, he was even more disturbed to learn that Devyani was the same child her father had claimed was dead years ago. Bade Thakur realized the depth of the lie and cruelty.
Seeing marriage as the only way to remove Devyani from that hell, Bade Thakur decided she should marry his elder son, Rivan. He gave Devyani’s father money and took her away from the house that had been her prison.
Rivan, however, was a man broken by his past. He hated women and lived alone with his son, Kaizan—known as Black Panther. Every year, on a specific day, Rivan lost control of himself—the anniversary of his mother’s death. He also deeply despised Bade Thakur’s wife, Yashoda, holding her responsible for certain events of the past.
On that particular day, Rivan was called to the haveli. He was drugged and unknowingly married to Devyani.
When Rivan discovered the truth the next morning, he was furious. He hated everyone involved and especially Devyani, whom he saw as another betrayal. He decided to leave her immediately. Bade Thakur then made him an offer—if Rivan stayed with Devyani for one year, he would give him his mother’s house.
Rivan agreed, but only for the property.
He treated Devyani coldly and cruelly, behaving like a complete jerk. Yet, as days passed, Devyani’s innocence, strength, and quiet resilience began to affect him. Slowly, his hatred softened, emotions he had buried resurfaced, and he found himself drawn to her.
