She can walk out anytime but she is not ready to do that. She is treating all this as if it is some game or war of wits but it is her life and future that is hanging in balance and she seems to be oblivious to that. So what are her options apart from this if she manages to distance herself from Rathores - she has no job, no place to stay, no future. She can either go back to her village like a loser or stay as glorified maid/nanny with Tripathis. I am curious what exactly is her plan.
He is very well aware that Imlie is not completely averse to him despite saying all those hurtful things. She kept needling him until he took on the challenge. She did not purposely go and get color on her though she could have done that. She chose to remain colorless and sulked as if waiting for him to win.
From my perspective she is socially conditioned , she is confused, she is scared and she does not know what she wants or believes. She would rather believe that Aryan dragged her to altar while she martyred herself to save Tripathis rather than accept that she was selfish enough to choose herself for once over Tripathis or that she might have build a bond with Aryan that she is not willing to let go and she might not be completely averse to this wedding because she trusts and depends on Aryan. She is like a hurt lioness with her claws out.
