I feel the writers in this case are doing a good job of maintaining a balance and are taking things SLOWLY compared to many shows...they've slowly brought about Madhu's realization, not overnight.
As for the dark love story part, I seriously doubt this is all part of some elaborate plan by RK.
RK has more than extracted his revenge by putting her through the humiliation that was that 4 phere waali ceremony and continuing to treat her like a servant after that as well...down to the party where he humiliated her publicly once again.
The story has EVOLVED from that point...this wasn't supposed to be one CONSTANT revenge story that RK will continue to plan such a far fetched revenge.
As per your prediction, all of RK's thoughtful scenes where he has convos with his father while looking at his picture or the bit where he feels guilty as Radha ji tells his father would be ashamed of the monster he's become, none of those scenes would add up if as per your prediction this was all some revenge.
The only possibility I see is RK LYING that he did all this for revenge if anytime in the future he feels hurt by Madhu or feels she's betrayed him again, then he might pretend that he's lied all along.
As of now though, he most definitely isn't lying and his feelings for her are very real...he is just not verbalizing them to her and finds indirect ways to express them.
