Chapter 328: The Sting of Truth

The sound of the lock turning made Kushi sit up, her eager heart hoping earnestly to see Ram and Anarkali walk in.

But instead, her heart sank when she saw the tall longhaired man enter, a bottle of wine in his hand.

The door shut behind him and he made his way towards the dining table.

Kushi stood up and watched him uncork the bottle and take a swig of the wine. Gulping it down noisily, he turned to her and held out the open bottle.

Kushi declined with a firm shake of her head.

He smiled knowingly and took another swig, his unconcealed green eye glinting excitedly.

"You should be celebrating with me, my Chandraki."

"Whatever for?" asked Kushi bitterly.

"The work is nearly done here," he reported casually, "We will be sailing for home tomorrow."

"This is my home. I am going nowhere with you."

He stared at her, "Don't you want to know your real family, see your real parents...?"

Kushi bit her lower lip. She felt devastated. As much as she was tempted to know her true past, she was unwilling to discard the person she had become and the people she had come to love as her family.

"I have a husband," asserted Kushi, "I cannot leave him."

The man snorted, "What kind of husband do you have who sends his brother to do the hard work of rescuing you while he stays in his rich palace grieving his loss?"

Kushi was taken aback. She had been led to assume that Lord Arnav was the one in the Castle. Of course, Ram had not given any hint of having personally seen him and could have merely recounted the inference he'd obtained from a random conversation.

He looked at her through the green of the wine bottle, "So you will come with me, Chandraki, won't you?"

Kushi looked at him, "Why should I? What reason have I, to leave behind everything I know and love, to follow you?"

His green eye swirled in deep mystery, "I am the man to whom you always belonged..."

Kushi was repulsed, "That cannot possibly be, since you claimed yourself to not be my father."

The man smiled warmly, "What does it matter who I am in relation, my precious one?"

"It matters," said Kushi sternly, "I am a man's wife... carrying his child in my womb."

She didn't want to tell of her child to anyone before she'd told of it to her husband but circumstances required that her reasoning weigh greater to her advantages.

A venomous look appeared in his face at Kushi's revelation, "Carrying? Well, I don't care about the child. Only you."

Kushi scowled, "I care about my child. And I am not leaving this land or my husband."

All warmth dispelled from his voice, "If you cannot be mine, Chandraki, you cannot be anyone else's."

He moved towards her, reaching his hand out to take hers but she stepped back and stated impertinently, "I will go nowhere with you."

Her refusal enraged him and, in one stride, he was before her. She raised her hand to strike him but his quick hand deflected her move and held her wrist captive, grasped in his hard, cold fingers.

Kushi struggled to free her hand but his strength was invincible.

"I have tried to be good to you but you still refuse," he growled disappointedly, his eyes began to darken, "You always refused..."

And then, as she watched in horror, she saw his mouth descend to her hand that he held. His lips closed around the tender skin of her wrist.

In bewilderment, she watched this incomprehensible feat but gasped in shock when she sensed a strange sting where his mouth was.

Miles from time, in the darkness of a pit, the ambiguous Lady in the Dark Hood smirked in profound delight.

The vicious pain on her wrist was momentary and Kushi blinked confusedly at the man.

He looked at her, expecting her to be writhing in pain or swooning.

But what he saw on her face turned him pale.

Stunned, he stared at her in disbelief.

Finally, he asked in a note of caution, "Who... Who is your husband?"

Kushi looked straight at him and spoke thunderously, "Lord Arnav Singh Raizada."

He let go of her wrist as an unearthly terror flashed across his visage.

The title made me dread for whats coming and when that man told Khushi that they were leaving the next day, scared me more...Ofcourse I knew she wont agree in the start...but then later mentioning about her past, made me think that she might leave...the temptation to know about her past, and the refusal of her husband to take it seriously, might make her go with this kidnapper.

Would have hurt the First Lord so much, had Khushi willingly gone with the Kidnapper to know about her past... I wish post all this rescue mission. Lord Arnav himself takes Khushi to the place where she comes from, so she gets the chance to know about her own background.

Even i didnt like that she had to share the awesome news of the little devil to this enemy first...but ofcourse she thought it might change his decision...but why didnt she think, that if he doesnt like the baby part, and he would force her to terminate the pregnancy.

When he kissed her wrist, i thought he is trying to do something to hypnotize her or worst to hurt her or the baby...thank god it was none of the above...But now I am so sure that the man has hold Lord Arnav captive with some magical power...i think he is another such magical creature...that's why he was trying to sting her...But seeing her immunity, he was shocked...Cant tell u how glad i am that Lord Arnav is her husband...their intimacy has given her this immunity. Had it not been for him, this man wouldve easily harmed her...but he still has the power to scare her, by implying to hurt the kids with the sting...hope he doesnt have the brain to do so. 😆

Btw, he knows Lord Arnav...yet he thought the man captive was Khushi's brother-in-law...so has he mistaken Khushi in place of Payal...another case of mistaken identity...Did he mean to abduct Payal instead...But Khushi is that orphan child, here, isnt she...or is she ?

What if it is Payal, the one whom Shashi found long back...oh i need to go back and read the first few chapters...

But m happy at witnessing the terror on that man's face, hearing that Lord Arnav is Khushi's husband...

When i read the dark hood lady smirking upon the sting, i thought, there she showed her true color 😛

But i was so wrong, she was smirking cause she knew that the sting wont affect our dear Khushi, at all 😊

I'm confused.. That man doesn't know whose wife is Khushi? He didn't get the information correct?

He meant to kidnap any one else??

Because he's magical one Arnav could not be himself right?

Waiting for the next update.. Meanwhile will go back to read few old chapters.. Not sure if I hav missed some clue

that's the reason Arnav's curse is not working in the damn place...!!!
