The room was completely dark, with only a light-shimmering bulb placed in the corner, A mud pot was placed along with a steel tumbler

A man was curled in the corner; his whole body was covered with red marks, like he had been beaten badly. The constable hit the floor, startling the man.

"You got bail; come out."The constable said that and went from there.

The man somehow came out and stood beside the lawyer.

The lawyer inaudibly gasped seeing the condition of the criminal.

"Sir, you came very early," The criminal said sarcastically.

The lawyer was dressed in black trousers, a white shirt, and a black coat, polished shoes, and wrists were adorned with a Rolex watch and magnetic bracelet. His aurora screamed power.

The criminal got scared as he received a glare from Abhishek Singh Chauhan, his lawyer.

The lady who was seated on a chair looked up and passed a disgusted look to the criminal, she didn't even glance at the lawyer. The criminal saw the look and threatened her "Hey, you, don't think this is the end, I will kill you and before that, I will enjoy your flesh." He looked at her lustful gaze.

She stood up and gracefully stood before him and slapped him so hard, that he fell on the lawyer, Abhishek pushed him away.

Abhishek looked at her appearance she was wearing her uniform, a brown belt wristwatch. her mangal sutra was been hidden well beneath her collar, her maang was filled with vermillion no one could say she was married until you observed closely. He was aware because the lady was none other than his wife Ananya Abhishek Singh.

"You may leave now, I have some work with the officer"Abhishek ordered him, waiting till the criminal was out.

As he was out of his sight he grabbed her wrist and pushed her to the wall

"Can't you show little mercy, you have bitten him like a rot"Abhishek hissed, enraged.

Ananya raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked "Are you by chance jealous, that I touched him, not you" She smirked devilishly.

Abhishek moved a little closer and whispered "Just shut up, don't assume anything, you are just my forced bride, who married for peace and ended the enmity between the family and nothing else and there is nothing to be jealous of, you are mine, you are wearing my name's mangal sutra" He moved little back and corrected her hairs, now her vermillion can be seen clearly.

Both ignored their foreign feelings towards each other, the possessive feeling erupted within him when the criminal threatened her.

"Don't you dare"Ananya warned him knowing well.

"It's too late Anya" He left from there. She felt shivers in her spine hearing her nickname given by him, he started to call her from childhood.

He came out and looked back and muttered "You think I married you because family forced me, to end enmity, no Anya you are wrong I married you for a reason". He wore his shades and left from there.
