FORCED BRIDE. (Darkened Brides Book Series #2)
The new look of Roohi above. â
2 years later.
ROOHI.
Here comes the day I was waiting for desperately. Counting every minute of my life for the last two years.
"You ready?" Jatin hanged his head from the door. In his usual black suit and I nodded to him as he asked me to come down so we can leave and left himself,
I took my string bag and glasses and went upstairs to grandfather's blessing then leave for today. Like I have always done.
I went to him. He has been in a coma for the last six months. I touched his feet and felt his blessing on me and then I left for the day.
Going down. Jatin holding the door for me, for this important day. "It'll be fine," he said understanding my uneasiness and I nodded to him and we left.
Moving along towards the Manann Mansion I revised all my memories with him.
Today is a destructive day for him. As well as for my brothers.
Ruining them.
Now that such a long time has passed it feels like I should have just forgiven them. But at the same time reciting their deeds and his lying words all those time. I can't bring myself to just let go of things.
Yes, forgiveness is the best decision. Ignorance is the best option. And silence is the best reply.
But sometimes all of these three things are pointless if we don't have peace in any of them.
"Do you want to turn around the car?" he again asked me as I looked at him. "No right. Then don't even let the thought cross you," he said in a little angry tone. "He wanted to leave you with nothing. It just is a payback he has to live with nothing. And if you are worried about his family. You know their history. They are no good people. First, they destroyed one of the brother's wife's family and then they mistreated his son and also poisoned him. If they suffer it is right!" he said getting angry and reciting about Heer. I only saw her once and just heard about things after separations with an ear-to-the-industry.
That she and Vivaan left the inheritance and are now owning their own big company in a village along with their son.
It's good to know that they won't be affected by the disruption.
And in a flicker of second the car again drove into a long driveway of Manann mansion.
I saw the richest people sitting on the chair along with the entire Manann family on the stage.
I got out of my car and people's eyes were on me. And mine on him. My glasses are on because of the sunshine. As I went to the group of people but before I could reach them. Veer came running like a dog and grabbed my neck but my men took him and threw him. I sat on the last chair of the auction seats and in a few minutes the auction began. I can see his eyes on me all the time while my glasses protected my gaze.
My phone rang as I saw Jatin and he picked it up. Talked a bit and hung up.
"Good news," he said in my ears and Rudram's gaze darken and I asked Jatin to tell me. "The police took your brothers for the fraud they committed in their company. The plan went well. " he,aid as I smiled at my first victory. Time for the second.
The numbers started to be called while I kept quiet. Let the small numbers be recalled. And finally, the number stopped.
"2 Hundred Crores. Anyone.. One.. two... " the man at the board recalled and my board went up.
"3 Hundred Crores." I said and the entire crowd grasped along with the Manann family. They have been in bad times ever since they started marrying their sons.
Serves them right.
"The highest number. Anyone to compete. One... Two... Three... SOLD. "
I Heard the final words and then removed my glasses. Passed him my last glance and left the spot in my car.
And took a deep sigh. That I was going on for so long.
"You did a good job. Grandpa will be proud of you. " Jatin said to me.
"Take me to the police station my brother is in. " I said to him and he nodded. Driving me towards there.
His eyes weren't furious.
He was feeling guilty still.
He was just looking fine.
"You made sure, didn't you? " I asked Jatin as he nodded.
I was talking about the kidnapping I have asked him to do. Because after this if we will leave him with his family. They will eat him alive.
I don't want him dead for what he did. This must is enough.
And now the car was at the police station as we both came out. We went inside and Jatin did his role and arranged a talk with that man who was right now in a private detention room for being a high offender.
I went inside the room with the table and them as they both stood at the sight of me.
"You----" he said and came on my neck to kill me. As I twisted his hand.
"Don't mistake me for the same girl you knew Aarav. " I said to him as his eyes widened with anger. "Now that you are already in jail. I'll make sure to put the case on you for all the abuse you all have done to me. Okay ." I said as I looked at Vimal.
"And you. I honestly wanted to be your sister. But I'm thankful that I never become one. A criminal's sister. " I said to him as he was staring at him with his death glare.
"You will pay for this. You will have to pay!!!" he yelled behind me as I left the room.
Serves them right.
