Bani spent the entire day in that room, as Reyansh had locked it from the outside.
Around 8 PM, Reyansh opened the door and entered, finding Bani lost in her thoughts. Seeing her like this, he picked her up in his arms. The sudden movement jolted Bani back to reality, and she looked at Reyansh with frightened eyes.
Reyansh carried her to his personal lift. A little while later, they were in his car, and Bani sat nervously in one corner of the seat.
Noticing her discomfort, Reyansh pressed a button to activate the partition, then suddenly pulled her onto his lap. "What are you doing, sir?" Bani asked, trembling.
With a devilish smile, Reyansh replied, "You don't know what I'm doing?"
Leaning in close, he whispered in her ear, "Remove your shirt."
As he finished speaking, he planted a soft kiss near her ear.
"Please, sir, don't do this," Bani pleaded, her voice shaking.
Reyansh's expression hardened. "I don't repeat myself."
Bani realized she had no choice, so she hesitantly began to unbutton her shirt, finally sliding it off and sitting with her head lowered.
Reyansh held her chin, lifting her face to meet his gaze. He pressed his lips against hers. Despite her reluctance, Bani felt compelled to respond.
Reyansh continued to kiss her passionately. Almost an hour later, the car came to a stop, and Reyansh also ceased his actions. Bani was breathing heavily when he brushed her hair aside and said, "Put your shirt back on."
Quickly, Bani complied and donned her shirt. As she stepped out of the car, her eyes widened in disbelief—Reyansh's mansion was enormous. This felt like a dream to her. Bodyguards stood around, and the path to the mansion was lined with a garden and a large fountain.
Reyansh took Bani's hand and led her inside. Upon entering, Bani was further astonished. The mansion's theme was dark green and black. All the staff looked surprised to see Reyansh with a girl.
He took Bani directly to his room, then left her as he headed to the washroom. After he left, Bani quickly called her mother. As soon as the call connected, she said, "Mom."
Priya sounded worried. "Bani, where are you?"
Before Bani could respond, a sound startled her, causing her to drop the phone.
Turning around, she noticed some items had fallen from the table. She thought Reyansh must have seen her talking on the phone, but that wasn't the case. As she pondered this, her mother's voice broke through again, "Bani, where are you? Say something; I'm very worried."
Tears began to flow down Bani's cheeks as she quickly picked up the phone and, controlling her sobs, said, "Mom, I had to come out of the city for work tonight. I'll be back by tomorrow."
Priya replied in disbelief, "But Bani, it's not safe to be out at night!"
Bani insisted, "Mom, it's important work."
Priya sighed heavily, "Alright, fine."
Bani asked, "Mom, how is Somansh?"
"He's fine, and he's already asleep; otherwise, I would have had him talk to you," Priya responded with a smile.
Bani managed a weak smile. "It's okay; I'll hang up now."
After cutting the call, Bani's tears began to flow again. Just then, Reyansh's voice echoed from the washroom. "Bani, come to me."
Trembling, Bani approached the washroom door. Reyansh opened it and pulled her inside. Seeing him under the shower made her blush.
He positioned her under the shower and turned it on. Bani kept her eyes down, embarrassed.
About an hour later, Reyansh emerged from the bathroom wearing a bathrobe. Bani followed him outside. Seeing her, Reyansh remarked, "With wet hair, you look even more stunning. You've been crafted beautifully by the heavens, but only for me."
At his words, Bani lowered her gaze.
Reyansh rang a bell, and shortly after, a maid entered with a food trolley, leaving it in the room before departing. Bani felt everything was surreal, yet she couldn't do anything.
Reyansh sat beside Bani and, looking at her, said, "Feed me."
Bani gazed at him for a moment before beginning to feed him with her hand.
As she did so, Reyansh slipped his hand under the blanket, gently caressing her waist. Bani felt powerless to resist and remained silent.
After a while, Reyansh fed her as well. Once they finished eating, he rang the bell again, and moments later, a maid came to take the trolley away.
Reyansh then removed his bathrobe and lay down next to Bani, pulling her into his arms and stroking her hair.
Gathering her courage, Bani asked, "When will you let me go?"
At her question, Reyansh paused, then took her hair in his fist, pulling her face close to his. "Remove any thoughts of leaving me from your mind, because it's not possible. You came close to me that night, and now you can never be far from me."
Bani felt fear at the intensity of his voice, and tears welled in her eyes. Seeing her cry, Reyansh threatened, "I didn't give you permission to cry. So stop it."
His words silenced her immediately. Reyansh held her close, closing his eyes. Bani nestled against his chest, stifling her sobs until she finally fell asleep.
