Another attempt to delight him has gone horribly wrong. When will she learn to give up on him. Zoya cursed herself for trying to make things right for Aditya, her new husband. 'Her Husband', she sniggered at the alluring mirage. She still couldn't comprehend her naivety to accept his proposal of marriage. She tried to convince her conscious that she is helpless and lonely. Life clung to her like a leering leech when she tried to end it by slashing her wrists after learning about her late husband's betrayal. Aditya saved her although she still feels he played a huge role in her downfall. She was alive but had lost her purpose to live. Strayed away from her family and abandoned by her in-laws, she took the bold decision to wed Mr. Aditya Hood. Love or respect was not the foundation of their relationship but she trusted him the most. She knew Aditya will never hurt her like Yash. He knew it too well to subject her to the agony of betrayal. But he had his ways of tormenting her. She was his personal punching bag to vent out his anger and frustration. He repeatedly taunted her for her blind love for Yash and her desperate efforts to prove Pooja's fidelity.Zoya had zilch expectation from her new marriage. She knew what was in store for her before agreeing to his proposal. His insults and sarcasm least affected her, atleast most of the time. Nobody needed her anymore. Hence she was happy that her worthless life was bringing solace to his tortured soul.
Anjana Aunty and Arjun warmed upto her quickly. They hoped she could bring back some light to Aditya's life. But Zoya knew it better. Yet when they encouraged, she took up the responsibility to arrange surprise party for Aditya. A party to celebrate his success to rejoin his job. A job which he still loved. But it too ended up as a disaster. He was furious. He verbally bashed Zoya, his parents and even pushed Arjun who was trying to restrain him. His father accused Zoya for making a mockery of their lives while Anjana Aunty sympathized with her.
Zoya woke up from her slumber by sudden noise at the door. She found Aditya staggering into the room. He was drunk, again. "Still awake? So sweet of you to wait for me", he taunted her. She furiously locked the door of their room and marched to him. She had enough and wanted to give him a piece of her mind. "What's your problem? Why do have to get upset and hurt everyone? Why can't you move on?", she asked him angrily. "Move on? Three months of marriage and you already want me away. Why are you happy that I got my uniform back? So eager to relish your past in my absence or have you found someone to satiate your needs while I am away?". She slapped him hard. Fresh tears stung her eyes but she didn't falter, "How dare you?". He kept his palm over his cheek which burned by impact of her soft hand. She was shivering in anger but soon fear overcame her when she saw his eyes, boiling with rage. He pulled her by her neck and kissed her forcefully.
Zoya tried to push him away and free herself. But he was too strong for her. He bit her lips, making her yelp and granting him entrance to plunge her mouth. Soon she realised that she was no longer resisting but participating in duel to gain dominance. Her hands had snaked to his neck, pulling him further to her. Without breaking their kiss, he lifted her in his arms and walked to the bed. He carelessly threw her on the bed and gazed her, as if giving her last chance to escape. Still she didn't move and laid their anxiously. He discarded his shirt and came over her. She got alarmed but unfortunately she had lost her chance. He tore away her clothes and ravished her body. He pinned her wrists to bed and bit her hard on her neck. She whimpered in pain and pleasure. Her bangles were collateral damage, injuring her wrists and his palms. She wailed when he thrust into her but he muffled her voice with searing kiss.
Tears welled in her eyes, as he lay on her exhausted and sated. She felt guilty and responsible. He was drunk and not in his senses. She should have forbidden him rather than being swayed . In the short period of their marriage, Aditya never tried to force his liberties as her husband. She was sure that if she resisted, he wouldn't have gone beyond a certain point. His erratic breathing normalized and she understood he was trying to speak. She was well aware of it. All his drunken stupors ended up either professing his love for Pooja or seeking reason from Pooja for her betrayal. Either ways Zoya knew, it will taint her soul coz it will be evident that he made love to Pooja and not her. She shut her eyes close, allowing darkness to engulf her while dreading his words . "I love you...", she expected his words to shatter her. "I love you...Zoya", he declared before falling into peaceful slumber.
