Hello people!! I am back with another OS of mine. This story belongs to RiAnsh first wedding track. Hope you all enjoy it!!
*************************************************************************************
Vansh looked at his image in the mirror with a slight smirk. Today, he's going to get married but before that he has to make sure that Riddhima marries him by her own will. Marrying him is going to be her own decision. She is not going to think about someone else in her own marriage.
Vansh raised his eyebrows as he saw Angre and Aryan entering into his room. He has given some work to them and he really hoped that they did what he said.
He's IN boss.
Vansh nodded as Angre said that with a slight smirk on his face. This is going to be super interesting. So!! He's here, fine, but this will be the last time he is entering into VR Mansion. After today, he's not going to come here, ever.
Let him come Angre. Let him come and try to rescue her. But I know he won't do that.
Vansh smirked as both Angre and Aryan looked at him confused at what he just said. Well!! He has a theory about his bride's lover and he's pretty sure that he's right.
But why Boss??
He smirked slightly as soon as he heard Angre's question. He looked down at his hand as he opened his fist and saw Shera in his hand.
She didn't get Shera, means she has nothing against me for which he sent her here. And now he has no way out of this mess that I created. He has to convince her to marry me.
Vansh told him smirking slightly and saw them looking at him frowning slightly. Looks like they still didn't understand what he's saying.
Why would he do that??
Vansh rolled his eyes at Aryan's question and turned around to look at him raising his eyebrows. Why would she marry him?? And the main question is why is she still alive.
Its very simple Aryan.
He said and saw them looking at him all attentive. Well, looks like he has to explain every single thing to them.
This is my trap. I won't leave deceivers alive, but she will stay alive, you know why??
He said sitting on his bed and saw both of them looking at each other confused but then they both shrugged nonchalantly.
Why??
Aryan asked and Vansh smirked at him. Well, good question. He narrowed his eyes looking ahead. She is not free to do as she will.
Because this is her fate. This is Vansh Rai Singhania's world, and she dared to come here and has the audacity to deceive me but not by lies. She never told me a lie. She came, she saw, she deceived, but there's a twist in the tale. She deceived by truth. And such persons are really dangerous.
He told them and saw them looking at him in shock. Riddhima is a very strong person, she never actually fears him because she never lies in front of him. And yet she managed to deceive them all.
Then why is she here??
He looked at Aryan pointedly as soon as he said that. She's here, she's alive because she's not the culprit.
Because she's innocent Aryan.
He said and saw both of them looking at him with wide eyes.
I just don't get it Boss.
Vansh chuckled at Angre's words and they both looked like they're out of their wits. Okay, looks like, it's time to explain them word by word.
Riddhima loves Kabir. Kabir used her. And now he's going to use her again, but this time he's going to do what I planned for her.
He smirked slightly and saw both of them looking at him raising their eyebrows. He turned towards the mirror and wore his necklace with a slight smirk. The time is coming near, and his plan is in motion. Finally his biggest enemy is going to ruin himself.
Bhai!! You're hiding something.
Vansh nodded at Aryan's words as he tighten his necklace. Of course he's hiding something. He never told them why he wanted Riddhima as his wife. He didn't need to explain.
Yes!! I didn't tell you the most important thing.
He said as put the stole around his neck and saw both of them looking at him eagerly.
Riddhima, as an ally, could be precious. If you have her loyalty then she'll give her life for you.
He said and saw Aryan looking at him with wide eyes while Angre still looked at him as if he has lost his mind.
And you want that?
Aryan asked and Vansh smirked at him. Of course he wants that.
Bingo!! Finally you understood something Aryan.
Vansh said winking at Aryan and saw him rolling his eyes while Angre looked at him stunned. Well, this is not the time for talks, it's time to keep tabs on those idiots who dared to infiltrate VR Mansion
Now keep tabs on Kabir and his cheap helper.
He said in a harsh tone and they nodded before leaving his room in a hurry. Welcome to his trap, Mr. cop. Vansh smirked looking at himself in the mirror. A perfect bridegroom he is, after all he's making sure that his bride agrees to marry him with her full heart before tying the knot with him.
*************************************************************************************
Riddhima took a deep breath with tears in her eyes as Kabir put the gun on his forehead. She can't let him do this, but she can't even do what he's saying.
Kabir!! No!!
She shouted terrified as he put his finger on the trigger. She can't let him die, she loves him too much to even think about him not existing.
I am sorry Riddhima, but you have to marry him. You have to marry him for us. I can't betray my country by being happy with you. I love you Riddhima, I do, but I love my country too. I want evidences against him Riddhima please.
Riddhima took a deep breath as he fell down on his knees with tears in his eyes and she cried looking at him. Even though her heart is refusing to even think about doing such a thing, but she has to do this, otherwise she would never be able to look at Kabir.
Fine. You don't have to take your life. I will marry him.
She said wiping her tears and looking ahead determined. She will marry Vansh Rai Singhania but she would never be his wife. She'll make sure of that.
But only for you Kabir.
She said looking at him firmly and saw him nodding at her. She flinched back as he moved ahead to hug her and turned around with a heavy heart. She knows he'll be hurt but now she won't meet him till she finds a solid proof against Vansh.
She came inside the house and saw everyone waiting for her, especially Vansh. She clutched her lehenga in fear as he stormed towards her. She just hope he's not in a mood to kill her.
Dadi!! I want 10 minutes.
She looked at Vansh stunned as he dragged her towards the servant quarters. What the hell is going on?? She stopped in her track as he opened the door of a room. She's not going inside a room that too with Vansh.
Her heart hammered in her chest as he grabbed her shoulders tightly.
Come on Riddhima, let me show you something. Something very precious.
Riddhima closed her eyes tightly in fear as he pushed her inside the room and she heard the door closed. She knows he's still inside the room as she could smell his cologne. She winced as he put some force on her shoulders and she opened her eyes only to still in her place. This can't be true.
Kabir!!
She shouted as she saw him inside another room which is separated by this room by a glass wall. She almost ran towards the wall when she felt a pull in her hand. She looked up and saw Vansh looking at her with a blank face.
Shh!! Relax sweetheart, just answer one question. What's more important for you Riddhima, your life or his life??
She gasped as she saw Aryan and Angre entering the room with their guns. No!! This can't happen. How the hell Vansh knows about Kabir?? She looked at him almost panicked.
Don't hurt him Vansh, please!!
She pleaded and saw him looking at her with raised eyebrows. She panicked as she saw him shrugging nonchalantly as Angre and Aryan looked at him. They nodded and pointed their guns at Kabir while she looked at Vansh horrified. What the hell does he want??
Sorry!! I didn't hear anything.
She took a deep breath as she heard Vansh's words. She has no choice but to agree with this devil right now. And if she has to fell down on her knees for Kabir, then she will do it.
Spare him Vansh, I'll do whatever you want, but don't hurt him.
She said kneeling down before him and joined her hands in front of him. She doesn't like this, not even a bit, but she could do anything to save Kabir's life. He's not even conscious. What the hell did they all do to her Kabir??
She clenched her fists as Vansh pulled her up by her shoulders. She doesn't want him to touch her but right now, she's in no condition to say anything.
If only he loves you as much as you love him.
She looked at him pointedly as soon as she heard him. He has no idea how much her Kabir loves her. She could never forget the last 2 years of her life, because Kabir was the one who made it memorable.
He does. He loves me more than anyone in this world.
She said looking at him firmly and saw him chuckling slightly. Now what's wrong with him??
You're right. He loves you more than anyone in this world, who are basically no one. Because you have no one in this world apart from Kabir, right??
She sucked in a breath at his taunt as she felt a sharp pain in her heart. But then she wiped her tears looking at him determined. She's not going to lose this battle. She's going to save Kabir's life, even if she has to sacrifice hers.
What do you want??
She asked glaring at him and he moved back looking at her almost amused.
YOU.
Her eyes widened in shock as he looked at her firmly. What the hell does that even mean??
You're going to marry me right now Riddhima, and if you ever see Kabir again, then you'll be responsible for his death.
Riddhima shook her head in a no as soon as she heard him. If her being his is the price to save Kabir's life, then she'll do it without thinking.
No!! I.......I will marry you. Don't do anything to him. Please!!
She said joining her hands in front of him again and took a deep breath as he indicated Angre and Aryan to back off. She's going to leave her love to save his life, she just hope he doesn't misunderstand her.
Come on, let's finish the rituals then I'll let you meet Kabir for the last time and I'll show you how much he loves you.
She frowned as he opened the door and they both moved out of the room. What the hell does he even mean by she'll show her how much Kabir loves her?? She knows how much he loves her. She doesn't need a certificate from a monster.
She blinked her eyes as her tears blurred her vision. She sat beside Vansh at the altar and looked ahead in despair as the priest started the fire. Why?? Just why is her life so full of pain?? She always tried not to hurt anyone but everyone else is hell bent on hurting her. Just why??
She got up as the priest indicated and put the garland around Vansh's neck and clenched her lehenga as he put the garland around her with a wide smirk on his face. She wiped her tears as the priest indicated them to take the seven rounds around the holy fire. This is the most important part of the marriage and she knows she's going to regret the day she ever agreed to spy on Vansh.
Listen to the vows Riddhima, because you're going to follow them, for the next 7 births.
She sucked in a breath as she heard Vansh's voice beside her, loud and clear. Seven births?? She chuckled without humor and glared at him as he moved ahead of her. If only she could come out of this situation ever. But she knows, she's going to be trapped in Vansh's world, for forever.
As they started completing the rounds, Riddhima's heart started feeling more and more heavy. Her eyes watered as she heard the vows she's taking with Vansh. She never envisioned her marriage like this. As soon as they finished their rounds, they both sat down on their seats.
Riddhima looked at Vansh pointedly as he indicated the black beaded chain towards her. She remembered how Vansh told her that this marital chain would never let her go away from him. She warned him that she would never be his then, but now she has to give her consent to him as it's about Kabir's life. He put the chain around her neck and she felt like a noose is tightening around her neck.
Finally he put the vermillion on her partition and the priest declared them husband and wife, breaking all her dreams in a moment. Her life is finished.
*************************************************************************************
Vansh entered the servant's quarter and saw Kabir laying down on the floor still unconscious. It's time that Riddhima realized what she meant to Kabir. He had already seen how much Kabir mattered to her, and now it's time to know how much she mattered to Kabir.
Everything's ready Boss.
Vansh turned around as soon as he heard Angre's voice and saw both Aryan and Angre coming inside the room with a serious look. Well!! That's better then. It's time to start the show.
Good!! Aryan put them in the store room and don't let them know that I am watching them.
He ordered Aryan and they both nodded at him. Aryan dragged Kabir out of the servant's room and Vansh looked at Angre to know about the details.
Don't worry Boss, CCTVs are working properly, you'll be able to see them and hear them too. We have mics installed there.
Vansh nodded at him and moved towards his room. He has to take Riddhima to the secret room behind the study so that they could watch the scene properly. All of a sudden the door opened and they saw Riddhima coming inside the room nervously. She looked around the room and flinched as she didn't saw Kabir in it.
What's going on??
She asked and he smirked slightly as Aryan entered the room and nodded at him in yes.
All the best Bhabhi.
Angre said and left the room while Aryan looked at him raising his eyebrows. He nodded at Aryan and he sighed shaking his head.
I hope you could cope up with your fate.
Vansh rolled his eyes as he moved out of the room too and Riddhima looked at him almost panicked.
What are they talking about??
Vansh smirked as he saw Riddhima looking at him worried. Well!! He doesn't need to tell her anything, after all, he's going to show her the truth of her life.
Patience sweetheart!!
He winked and grabbed her hand tightly while she stiffened visibly.
Let's go.
He said and dragged her towards the study while he could clearly feel the protest in her.
Where are you taking me. Vansh stop it.
He refused to listen to her as she shouted at him and finally reached study room.
I am not going anywhere with you.
She shouted as soon as he opened the secret room's door and he dragged her inside the room.
Don't want to meet your lover for the last time??
He asked and saw her stiffening slightly. Its show time. He dragged her downstairs and made her sit on the couch in front of which a table is there and all the computers are showing the view of the store room.
Stay here.
Vansh said in a harsh tone and saw Riddhima looking at the screen visibly panicked. He looked at the screen and saw Kabir thrashing around angrily as Angre and Aryan stood in front of him amused. He could see Riddhima's panic clearly, but she has to see the truth.
Open my hands!! I said open my hands.
He saw Riddhima taking a painful breathe as soon as she heard Kabir's voice and then looked at him pleading slightly. Okay!! If she really thinks that he would leave Kabir, then that's her fault.
Kabir!! Why would I do that??
He heard Angre's voice and saw Riddhima glaring at the screen with tears in her eyes. Vansh shook his head and sat beside Riddhima and rolled his eyes as she moved away from him. As if he's going to jump on her just now. He's not that desperate.
I am a cop, you know if you don't leave me then you'll be dead.
He raised his eyebrows amused as he saw Kabir shouting at Angre while both Aryan and Kabir chuckled looking at Kabir. Damn!! Is he really a cop now?? Till now Kabir behaved like a pestering child, nothing else. As if he's the only mafia around the whole country. Agreed, he's the biggest one right now, but you don't reach for the sun directly, he should have behaved like an intelligent cop and would have tried to eliminate the lower ones first.
And if I leave you then your girlfriend will be dead.
As soon as Aryan said that Kabir stilled in shock and he saw Riddhima flinch beside him. Well, technically they should have said ex-girlfriend because she's his wife now. But it's okay.
We know who Riddhima is.
Aryan said and Kabir gave both of them a nervous look. Well!! its time for them to open their cards.
We just need to tell that to Boss and everything will be finished.
Kabir's eyes widened in shock as soon as Angre said that and Vansh smirked looking at Riddhima's terrified face sticking to the screen in front of her. So, it's time to see Kabir's love for Riddhima.
No!! Don't!! Don't do anything to her. She's innocent.
Vansh saw both Aryan and Angre frowning slightly as Kabir shouted at them. He looked beside him and saw Riddhima crying silently. Honestly, he just want to roll his eyes at whatever is going on. He knows Kabir doesn't love Riddhima, cause if he did then he would never have sent her to him. Kabir knows how dangerous Vansh is, and yet he sent Riddhima to him, knowing clearly well that Vansh would kill her at the instant he got to know about her betrayal.
She's a spy. And a spy could never be innocent.
Vansh relaxed taking a deep breath as he heard Kabir's gasp at Angre's words. Now it's time for Kabir to choose between his love or money.
Now let me give you two options and see what you'll chose.
Vansh smirked as Kabir looked at Aryan skeptically after Aryan said that to him. He should be skeptical. No!! He should be downright scared, but he doesn't know that his life is going to be a living hell from now on.
*************************************************************************************
Riddhima clenched her fists as she saw the scene in front of her eyes. How the hell Vansh could be this cruel?? He told her that if she married him, then he would leave Kabir alive, and still he's doing all this?? Her heart hurts looking at her Kabir like this.
What is this going on??
She asked glaring at Vansh and saw him smirking wickedly. Kabir was right. He a monster.
Let's see what his price is Riddhima.
She gritted her teeth as she heard what Vansh just said. Price?? He thinks that everything could have a price?? Her love is not for sale, and Kabir definitely is not for sale.
He's not a thing, he's a person.
She said glaring at the screen in front of her. If Vansh really thinks that he could purchase Kabir then he has no idea how much her Kabir loves her.
Everyone has a price Riddhima. Yours was Kabir's life. Not let's see what's his price.
Riddhima stilled in shock as she realized how unscrupulous this man is. He's right. Her price was Kabir's life and she knows he'll threaten Kabir with her life too.
Option 1- Take Riddhima away with you, don't show your face to us ever, leave your job and stay on our London penthouse. And yes, I should tell you that Boss is married to your gf, so you could only take her away from here after their wedding night.
Her eyes widened in shock as soon as she heard Angre's words. She shivered in horror as she looked at the wide smirk on Vansh's face. No!! How could he do this to her?? She looked away from Vansh in disgust as he winked at her.
She gulped looking at Kabir as he went totally pale after hearing Angre.
Second option.
She sucked in a breath as she heard Kabir's voice. She knows it was cruel of her to think like that but she felt a pang in her heart as Kabir refused to accept her. She wanted to believe that Kabir would accept her back in any condition because he was the one for whom she's doing all this, but it's not the truth.
What happened?? Don't like the first option?? Fine!! Aryan give him the second option.
She closed her eyes and let her tears fall, as she heard Angre's taunting voice. She doesn't want to see all this, but she can't leave from here too.
So, option 2 is- Leave Riddhima here with Bhai, move away to US with 500 crore rupees, a bungalow, and 3 companies of VR Empire.
Riddhima's eyes snapped open in shock as soon as she heard Aryan's voice. Her heart hammered and she looked at Vansh totally disturbed. What if Kabir accepted this term?? No!! He won't do that. She knows him. He loves her, he won't do that. She could see the shock in Kabir's eyes and she stopped breathing for a second in fear.
What will you chose Kabir??
She heard Angre's voice and blinked her eyes unable to stop her tears. She knows Kabir loves her. He can't chose money over her. Still she crossed her fingers and prayed to God to let her believe be the truth.
Love or Wealth??
Aryan asked looking at Kabir again and she frowned as Kabir chuckled looking at both of them. What is this now??
Riddhima's love is precious, you can't buy it.
Kabir said and Riddhima finally took a deep breath and looked at Vansh smiling slightly. He's lost and her love won. Kabir will chose her, she's sure now. She looked ahead at the screen smiling at Kabir's face.
And that's why I am not going to buy Riddhima's love. I'll go with option 2.
Riddhima eyes widened in shock as soon as she heard Kabir's words. NO!! Tears came out of her eyes as she saw Kabir smiling slightly as Aryan opened his hands and legs.
You're smart Kabir. But make sure Boss will never get to know about his wife being your spy.
Angre said and Kabir nodded at him with a slight smirk on his face and she blinked her eyes unable to believe that the man in front of her is the same man who promised her his life. She staked her whole life for Kabir and he's made a mockery of her love.
So we have a deal?
Kabir said forwarding his hand towards Angre and she saw Angre looking at Kabir as if he's an idiot. She shook her head as she realized that she's the biggest idiot of them all. Everyone here is selfish. She's the only one who thought that one could get love by giving unconditional love. But clearly, that's not the case.
I guess so!!
Angre nodded and shook his hand with Kabir while she blinked her eyes trying not to cry any more.
We'll meet you tomorrow.
Aryan said as Kabir left the room along with Angre and she got up from the couch in shock. How could Kabir be this cruel?? How could he not even think for a second about the 2 years they spent together??
Did her love mean anything for him?? Did he ever care about her?? Or everything was just an act?? Was his love for her just an act??
He........he chose money over my life?
She said trying not to cry any more but is it even possible?? Sejal told her that Kabir is too sweet, and she should be careful, but she never believed her best friend. She thought that Kabir was genuine. But she's wrong and Sejal was right. Kabir is a fraud, his love was a fraud.
I told you Riddhima, everyone has a price, just their prices are different.
She stiffened as she heard Vansh's voice and gritted her teeth annoyed. This man is one of the reasons for all of her miseries. What was the need to prove that Kabir's love was fake??
She doesn't know if she should be hating this man or thanking him for letting her know the truth.
*************************************************************************************
Aryan rolled his eyes as he saw Bhai sitting on his chair devouring his favourite wine. He just can't understand why his Bhai is ready to pay so much for Riddhima. He agrees she's pretty but not that much. Bhai could get girls pretty easily, and he doesn't think his Bhai loves Riddhima.
Are you really going to give him 500 crores?? Bhai!! I know she's your wife but don't you think she's too damn expensive??
Aryan asked and saw Vansh chuckling slightly. God!! What does this sarcastic smile means now?? He looked at Angre confused and saw him shrugging nonchalantly.
Come on Aryan!! Didn't you hear Kabir? She's precious but she's already mine and I don't need to buy her because Kabir doesn't own her.
Aryan blinked his eyes startled as soon as Vansh said that. He never thought he would listen to his Bhai calling some girl as precious. What the hell!!
What are we going to do next??
Angre asked and Aryan shook his head at his Bhai's smile. But before Vansh could say anything Riddhima stormed inside the room like a hurricane. Aryan looked at her in shock as she opened the drawer and took out Vansh's gun. What the hell!!
What are you doing??
Aryan flinched back at Vansh's tone as Riddhima stilled looking at them. But then she took a deep breath and looked at Vansh angrily.
I am going to kill him.
She said and Aryan's eyes widened in shock as she moved towards the door of the room. Vansh grabbed her hand and pulled her back making her sit on the bed while he tried to snatch the gun from her. Aryan looked at Angre and saw him frowning slightly at Riddhima. Well, he's confused about her behaviour too. She looks totally insane.
Leave me!! I will show him how much I love him.
She shouted again and got up pushing Vansh back and he saw Vansh Bhai rolling his eyes as he grabbed Riddhima's hands behind her back.
No matter how much I appreciate your determination sweetheart but he's still a police officer. Let him resign first.
Aryan tried not to chuckle as Riddhima winced slightly. Well, Vansh is right though, Aryan thought with an amused smile. Kabir had to resign from the police force.
Riddhima turned to look at Vansh as soon as he left her hands and glared at him. Aryan tried to hold back his laugh at his Bhai bored expressions.
You are not going to give him anything. I am not his to sell. You can't buy me.
She shouted and Aryan moved back wincing slightly at her tone. He has no idea how his Bhai is listening to her scream. Right now, Aryan feels like sticking her lips by a glue.
Why would I purchase you from him?? You have already sold yourself to me.
Vansh said in a low tone with a huge smirk on his face and Riddhima flinched back in shock. Aryan took a deep breath as she stopped saying anything and he looked at his Bhai amazed. Wow!! He has to say Vansh Bhai knows how to shut this woman up.
Are we going to meet him tomorrow??
Angre asked again and Aryan looked at Vansh curiously. He wants to know what's going to happen with Kabir now.
Hmm, give him the condition of leaving his job and give this cheque to him in advance.
Vansh said forwarding a cheque to them and Aryan looked down and saw the amount of 100 crores written in it. He gasped in shock as he looked at Vansh again. Is he even serious??
100 crore?? Bhai that man doesn't deserve a single penny of yours.
Aryan almost shouted and saw Vansh glaring at him.
Do what I want Aryan. I know what I am doing.
Aryan moved back nodding slightly as soon as Vansh snapped at him. If Vansh said that he knows what's he doing, then that's fine with him.
I want him dead.
All three of them turned towards Riddhima as soon as they heard her voice. She wants him dead?? What the!! What does she thinks them to be?? They're not murderers.
Riddhima!! Go and change your clothes.
Aryan sucked in a breath as soon as he heard the warning in his Bhai's eyes. He knows Vansh is annoyed now.
We'll talk about this in study.
Both Aryan and Angre nodded at Vansh as soon as he said that and all three of them turned to go out of the room when they all heard Riddhima's voice again but this time she sounded pissed off too.
Did you hear what I said?? I want him dead.
Aryan looked at Angre tensed as Vansh turned back and stormed towards Riddhima. What the hell is wrong with the woman?? Why is she hell bent on killing Kabir??
You don't know what you're asking for.
Aryan heard Vansh's firm voice and saw Riddhima glaring at his Bhai. He pinched the bridge of his nose annoyed himself at this insane woman in front of him.
I am not a child. I know what I want.
Aryan put his hand on his face as Riddhima shouted at Vansh again. Honestly, he expected Bhai to be angry beyond words till now but what Vansh did shocked him to the core. Vansh grabbed Riddhima's hands and looked at her firmly.
You don't want someone's blood on your hands sweetheart.
Aryan looked at Vansh with wide eyes as he heard Bhai calling her sweetheart. What the hell!! He just can't believe he heard the word from his Bhai. He looked at Angre and saw him looking ahead equally stunned.
I do. I want Kabir's blood. He's just as corrupt as one could get. According to him you're a criminal who's destroying this country then how the hell could he leave you alive and shift somewhere else just for money??
Aryan sucked in a breath as he realized that Riddhima is right. Kabir doesn't need this money of theirs, he needs to be kicked.
I think Kabir needs a dose Boss.
Angre said and Vansh looked at them raising his eyebrows. Aryan nodded at Vansh in yes too and saw Vansh frowning slightly. He saw Vansh looking at Riddhima for some time and then Vansh sighed shaking his head.
Do it then!!
Aryan smiled slightly at Vansh's command to him and Angre and they both left the room to do the arrangements. They'll meet Kabir tomorrow alright, but they'll plan an attack on him too. Oh!! It would be great to see Kabir writhing in pain.
*************************************************************************************
Riddhima threw all her things on the lawn in front of the garden of VR Mansion and glared at them. All these things remind her of the moments she spent with Kabir, and she doesn't want to remember them.
She doesn't just hate Kabir, she despises him. She wants to see him seriously hurt. She wants to see him crying as he made her cry. She still can't believe that he managed to deceive her. Even though she has talked to Sejal and told her everything, her heart is still paining too much. She knows Sejal is right, she should be thankful to Vansh for he showed her the true colours of her so called love, but still she knows that Vansh has his own agenda.
Vansh could have told her everything before marrying her, but no, he married her first using her love for Kabir and then only he showed her the truth. Why??
Riddhima!!
She came out of her thoughts as she heard Vansh's voice and turned around slightly only to see him coming towards her. She turned around and glared at the things again. Its time to burn her past.
What are you doing here??
She heard his voice again as he stood beside her while she put all the things on fire. She doesn't want to see all this, never again.
Burning the last 2 years of my life.
She said glaring at the things as the fire started getting bigger and bigger. Somehow her heart started feeling heavy by looking at all these things.
Tell me one thing Riddhima, you don't seem like the girl to fall for such petty things, then how the hell you fell in love with Kabir??
She wiped her tears shaking her head at Vansh's question. Yes, she has never been a girl to fall for such idiotic things. But feelings matter to her. Love matters, and care of someone matters to her. Kabir was too intelligent.
A master manipulator, he knows where and when to strike.
She said turning her back towards the fire and saw Vansh in front of her looking at her curiously.
He knew what I craved for since childhood and he gave me that.
She said and saw him raising his eyes curiously. She has no idea why she's telling all this to Vansh, but she knows someone to talk to right now, and no one else is here.
Love and care.
She said and closed her eyes as she remembered all their moments again. How could he do that?? How could he betray her??
I sacrificed my life for him, and he chose money. My love isn't worth it.
She said shaking her head but before she could say any more she felt a strong grip on her shoulders and opened her eyes startled.
He isn't worth your love Riddhima.
She blinked her eyes as she saw Vansh looking at her firmly. May be!! May be Vansh is right. May be it's Kabir who's not worthy of her love.
Never belittle yourself cause this world is full of vultures. Doubt yourself for one moment and they'll make you their target.
She frowned as she realized that this was the same thing what Kabir did. But what she doesn't understand was, out of all the people, why did Kabir chose her?? Sejal is an orphan too, he could have chose Sejal too, then why her??
Why me?? Just why??
She asked looking at Vansh almost panicked and saw him smirking slightly. Why does it feel that he knows about it??
Because he realized the same thing which I realized the day I met you Riddhima.
Riddhima took a deep breath as Vansh moved back and looked at her with a mysterious smile. Riddhima's heart hammered as she felt really nervous right now. What could be the reason??
What??
She asked softly and saw him looking at the fire with a slight smile. She sucked in a breath and looked away from him as he looked too good in that slight smile of his. No doubt girls are mad about him.
You are a really strong ally and a formidable opponent.
Riddhima blinked in shock at Vansh's statement and saw him smiling at her when he turned back towards her. What the hell is he talking about??
I am??
She asked looking at him almost in wonder and saw him chuckling slightly. How is it even possible??
You could give your life for the people you love, and he wanted that loyalty so that when time comes you would prefer to give your life rather than expose him.
Riddhima looked at Vansh startled as she realized that he's right. She gritted her teeth annoyed at how easily predictable she is. Kabir thought right about her. She would have given her life for him if she didn't know his truth. But now she's going to be his death.
He's going to regret ever being born.
She said looking ahead determined and saw Vansh's whole face changing from relaxed to angry. She shivered as she felt the anger in him. He's dangerous.
He is.
Riddhima nodded at him as she saw him looking at her firmly. She's sure he would made Kabir pay for whatever he did.
Now go and change.
She sighed and turned around to go but then stopped in her tracks. She just need the answer to one more question. Why is she still alive?? Why is he doing all this for her?? She looked at Vansh and frowned slightly as she saw him looking at the fire with a calm look.
Why are you being this generous??
Riddhima asked and saw Vansh smirking slightly still looking at the fire.
I don't feel like killing my wife on wedding night only.
Riddhima rolled her eyes and smiled lightly as she realized that he just distracted her, may be he doesn't want to give the answer. She shook her head turning around again to leave. This man is really a puzzle for her. And now she's his wife, she actually married him and that too for that good for nothing Kabir. Her blood boiled by even thinking about him.
Wrong choice Kabir.
Riddhima smirked slightly as she heard Vansh's voice but she continued walking towards the front door of the mansion as she knew that he didn't say that to her. Most probably he's talking to himself.
Well she has to agree with him here though. Kabir made a very wrong choice for himself.
*************************************************************************************
Riddhima came out of the washroom after taking a shower and saw the room fully cleaned. After coming back from garden she slept on the bed changing her clothes and since then she didn't see Vansh anywhere.
Where the hell did he ran off to??
She shook her head and looked at herself in the mirror. So much has changed in last one month. Designer clothes, imported make-up, everything of hers is just brand new. And why not?? After all she's Mrs. Riddhima Vansh Rai Singhania now. She sighed and started getting ready for the day.
She came downstairs after almost half an hour and saw all the servants stopped working as they looked at her bowing down their heads. She looked at the family members amused as they all waited for her to come down. What the hell did Vansh do?? Scare them all??
She shrugged and indicated them to do their work.
What was all that??
She asked looking at the family and saw all of them looking everywhere as if they're doing something really important. It was Ishani who looked at her after some time and smiled awkwardly. Now what happened to her??
Everyone heard you shouting at Bhai last night.
Riddhima looked at her stunned as everyone nodded their heads in yes. Damn!! She was shouting about killing Kabir last night. They all must have thought her insane.
I think Bhabhi, they're more scared of you now.
Riddhima shook her head as she heard Siya looking at her smiling slightly. Ya sure, she's scary now. She never thought people would be scared of her one day. She looked around and saw Vansh missing from here too. Where the hell has he ran off to??
Where's he??
She asked and saw everyone looking at her confused.
Who??
Riddhima rolled her eyes at Ishani's voice. What the!! Can't they see that Angre, Vansh and Aryan are the only one who's missing from here?? And why the hell would she ask about Aryan and Angre??
Where's Vansh?
She asked again and saw everyone smiling at her. Damn!! They were teasing her?? She huffed and looked away from them.
Study.
She sighed and moved towards the study room. She could hear some voice coming from there, but as soon as she entered the study room, her phone started ringing and she saw 3 pairs of eyes looking at her curiously.
She shrugged as she sat on the chair in front of Vansh and put her phone on the table. She gritted her teeth as soon as she saw the caller ID. Why is this man calling her. She was just going to cut the call when Vansh put it on speaker. Riddhima glared at him as he just smirked slightly.
Riddhima!! Hii!!
Riddhima took a deep breath to control her anger as soon as she heard Kabir's voice.
Hi Kabir.
She said in a cheerful voice and glared at Aryan as he tried to control his smile. She shook her head as Aryan raised his hands in surrender and she heard Kabir's voice again.
How are you??
Riddhima rolled her eyes at Kabir's soft voice and saw Vansh looking at phone with an amused look.
I am absolutely fine.
She said and heard Kabir take a deep breath. Why the hell is he calling her?? What the hell does he even want now??
Vansh didn't trouble you?
Riddhima raised her eyebrows at Kabir's question and saw Angre and Aryan both grinning soundlessly. Vansh glared at them and they both shook their heads in a no. Riddhima smirked slightly as she thought about something. Well!! Let's give some pain to Kabir too. Why would she suffer alone??
Oh no Kabir. In fact he's pretty good in all these things. I didn't feel any pain.
She said in a normal tone and saw all three men in the room looking at her stunned. Riddhima smirked slightly at Vansh's shocked look.
What are you talking about Riddhima?
She heard Kabir's shocked voice after some time and saw Vansh looking at her amused. Well, Kabir has gone idiotic.
Come on Kabir, it was my wedding night. What else could I have been talking about.
Riddhima said and heard Kabir suck in a breath while Aryan and Angre sat down on the couch trying to control their voice while laughing. She looked at Vansh and saw him looking at her with such intensity that she looked away almost immediately.
Riddhima!! How could you??
Riddhima took a deep breath as Kabir asked in an irritating voice while she just smirked looking at the her mobile phone.
What's wrong Kabir?? I thought you told me to marry him, and you know what marriage entails right? I couldn't stop him, otherwise he would have suspected me.
She said in an innocent voice and Kabir went totally silent. She looked up at Vansh again and saw him looking at her with a slight smile. She shivered slightly as she saw Vansh checking her out with a leisure smile. She looked away from him again all embarrassed as she heard Kabir's voice again.
Riddhima!! How could you let him touch you.
Riddhima raised her eyebrows as soon as Kabir said that and she saw Vansh rolling his eyes.
He's my husband Kabir, and you only told me to do that.
She said and heard Kabir suck in a breath. Oh yes!! Let's see Kabir how much you like this thing throw on your own face.
When the hell did I say anything like that??
Riddhima smirked slightly as she heard Kabir almost panicked voice. Oh yes, he said that, and now he can't even remember that??
You told me that I have to go close to Vansh, as close as I have never been to anyone. That's what I did.
She said and saw Vansh looking at her with wide eyes and she nodded at him in yes. She could see he's getting annoyed but right now she need to rile Kabir up so much that he had to take their proposal of leaving the police force.
I know Kabir you feel guilty, but you don't need to. You'll see how easily I found evidences against him now and then I'll be free of this cage. Then we'll live together happily.
She said in a sweet voice and heard Kabir chuckling slightly. She knows what he's thinking. But all of it doesn't mean to her now. He doesn't mean anything to her now.
Ya sure Riddhima. I'll talk to you later. Bye.
She cut the call too and looked up only to see all three of the men looking at her confused.
What was that??
Aryan asked and she shrugged nonchalantly.
A little help to you, so that he wouldn't even think before taking your proposal and leaving the police force.
She said smirking slightly and saw Aryan shaking his head stunned.
You were right Bhai.
Aryan said looking at Vansh and she saw Vansh smiling at him slightly. Wait!! What the hell are they talking about??
About??
She asked and saw Aryan looking at her with a weird look. Okay!! She doesn't think she likes this look of him. It feels as if he's going to say something mean.
I asked him about why he's marrying you.
He said and she looked at Aryan raising her eyebrows. Okay!! She wants to know about the same thing too.
He knew about your relationship with Kabir since the first day. I found a photo of both of you inside your cupboard.
Riddhima looked at Angre startled as he smiled at her slightly. What the hell!! They knew about her?? Then how could she still be alive??
That's weird.
She said and saw everyone looking at her curiously. Kabir told her how dangerous Vansh is, and Vansh always said that he hates deceivers, then why is she still alive?? And why the hell he married her??
You could have killed me the first day. Why exactly are we married?
She asked looking at Vansh curiously and saw him shrugging slightly, but the smile on his face tell a different story.
He said he married you because you're smart and deadly.
Riddhima snapped her head towards Aryan's voice and saw him smirking at her. Deadly?? And her?? Vansh has finally lost his mind.
Deadly?? I am not deadly. I am not a gangster, I am a normal girl.
She said frowning slightly and heard Vansh's chuckle. She looked at him pointedly while he just smirked as if he doesn't even believe her. She put her hands on the table and then kept her chin above her hands and looked at him all serious. What is going on in his mind??
Actually you are. You could shut off your emotions completely. Till last night you were head over heels in love with Kabir and now you're talking to him as if you're happy about his suffering.
Riddhima sucked in a breath at Vansh's dangerous tone but still she kept on looking at him. She sucked in a breath and looked away from Vansh startled as she saw the intensity of desire in his eyes. He wants her!! Damn it!!
You think like us. Revenge for betrayal. You wanted Kabir dead. You're not a normal girl anymore Riddhima Bhabhi. You're a Rai Singhania.
She looked at Aryan pointedly as she remembered Kabir's words about Rai Singhanias.
I am not a cold blooded criminal.
She said getting up from the chair and turned away from them. She never wanted to live like this. She's scared right now, scared shitless about how she could feel excited about living like this and that too with Vansh. Agreed, he's her husband, but she never wanted a husband like Vansh Rai Singhania.
And you think we are??
She frowned as Aryan came in front of her and she moved back slightly startled. Kabir told her what they did.
Kabir said that only. He.....
She started saying but stopped in her tracks as she heard Angre's voice.
Also said that he loves you, cares for you, can give his life for you.
Riddhima sucked in a breath as Angre looked at her pointedly. He's right, Kabir always lied to her. But she's not an idiot. She knows they're not just businessmen.
But I know you are involved in illegal business.
She said and Aryan shrugged as if it's not a big deal.
Right. We are involved in smuggling diamond, gold, and all types of jewels. Nothing more than that.
She sighed shaking her head at him. She saw how Vansh behaved with people. He almost killed a man in front of her.
You kill people too.
She said looking at Vansh pointedly and moved back slightly as he got up from his chair and glared at her.
I kill criminals, I never killed an innocent Riddhima. They're getting killed because they're involved in crimes.
She took a deep breath as Vansh said all that looking at her pointedly. She gulped nervously at the anger on his face.
Accept your fate Riddhima, cause you are trapped here and you're never leaving from here.
She sighed finally relaxed as Vansh left the study room with Aryan going behind him. She frowned as she thought about what Vansh just said. Is it true?? Is she really trapped here?? And is this her fate??
Boss never did that before Bhabhi.
Riddhima looked up startled at Angre's voice because she thought he left the room too. But he's looking at her smiling slightly as if he knows something that she doesn't. But what the hell is he even talking about??
What??
She asked and saw him shaking his head.
He always kills the person who dared to deceive him, at the same day he got to know about the deception. I still can't fully understand what he wants from you, but I could see that it would be easy for you to accept this life.
Riddhima narrowed her eyes at Angre's smile. How the hell could he say that it will be easy for her to accept this life?? She always wanted a simple life not a life full of adventures and dangers like this.
I wanted a simple life with a family of my own. I never wanted all this wealth, it doesn't matter to me.
She said glaring at him and saw Angre taking a deep breath. She frowned as he looked at her with a sad smile. What the hell!!
Ever thought may be he wants that too?? May be he wants your type of love?
She stiffened as soon as she heard what Angre said. No!! Vansh is a very calculative person. She doesn't think he believes in love.
You can't force love.
She said looking away from him and moved to leave the room only to stand still on her place hearing his voice again. Why the hell is he saying all this to her??
No!! But Boss is really one of a kind person. He loves his family, but this family never loved him really. They wanted him for what he could do for them. He deserves a person who could love him for himself.
Riddhima took a deep breath as she turned around and saw Angre looking at Vansh's picture at the wall with a fond look. My god!! He really adores Vansh. She shook her head as she thought about how the hell Vansh could have a person this dedicated to him??
You respect him.
She said and saw Angre smiling slightly.
I was an orphan. If not for him, I would have been dead. I could give my life for him, easily. But every single time he saw danger, the first work he does is send me to some safe place along with his family. He thinks I can't understand, but I do. My work is with him, not with his family, yet I was always protecting his family.
Riddhima looked at him in disbelief as she heard what he just said. Vansh?? And having a conscience?? This is really weird . But the way he behaved last night made her believe that Vansh is not as rude as he shows to everyone.
At least now with you here, I don't have to be with this family.
Riddhima looked at Angre pointedly and he smiled at her sheepishly. She rolled her eyes at him amused and she came out of the study room only to see the whole family sitting together talking loudly while Vansh sitting on the chair alone looking at them smiling slightly. She frowned as she saw only Dadi and Sia interested enough to talk to him while he just either shrugged slightly or nodded his head in yes or no.
This family doesn't even feel like his. She thought she was the one who's alone in the whole world, but how would it have felt to feel alone even amidst the family whom you love so much??
I know why he chose you as his life partner.
Riddhima looked beside her startled as she heard Angre's voice again. Okay!! If he knows that may be he could tell her about it?
But I can't.
She said and saw him smiling at her. Why the hell is he smiling like an idiot??
The way you demanded Kabir to be killed last night, it was madness. I saw insanity in your eyes, the same one that I always see in Bhai's eyes. I know he saw himself in you. And he wanted to protect your innocence, the way his was never protected.
Riddhima blinked her eyes as tears came out of her eyes but before she could say anything Angre went towards where the family is. She looked at Vansh and saw him looking at Angre all alert as they both started talking about something. She saw Vansh smiling at Sia as kept on waving at him from time to time, but she's the only one who looks bothered for her brother. No one else even looked at him.
Riddhima wiped her tears and took a deep breath trying not to think about the family too much. She looked up again and saw Vansh looking at her curiously. She shook her head smiling slightly and moved towards where they all are sitting. May be this is her fate. May be she could make this family accept Vansh as he is, just like he has accepted his family as they are.
