The next morning, Bani woke up to find herself in Reyansh's arms. She stared at his face for a few moments before attempting to move his hand away from her waist. Just then, Reyansh pulled her closer, and she found herself nestled against his chest. In one swift motion, he positioned himself above her.
Bani looked at Reyansh in shock. He kissed her cheek and said, "Where are you going?"
Bani, feeling scared, replied, "I… I'm going to the washroom…"
Before she could say more, Reyansh pressed his lips against hers. Bani struggled to break free, but all her efforts were in vain. After about 15 minutes, Reyansh finally released her. Bani's lips were swollen, and she was taking deep breaths.
Reyansh then said, "You can't get out of my bed without my permission, understand?"
Bani nodded in response. Reyansh then got off her and picked her up, carrying her to the washroom. He laid her down in the bathtub and settled next to her.
Bani had no idea that Reyansh wouldn't even leave her alone in the washroom. About an hour and a half later, he carried Bani out of the washroom and set her down on the bed before heading to the closet to get dressed. After a while, Reyansh returned with clothes for Bani.
In a cold voice, he said, "Put on your clothes in front of me."
Hearing this made Bani's eyes well up with tears, but she felt powerless to resist. She stood up and removed her bathrobe, putting on a red, thin-strapped top and a black mini skirt one by one.
Reyansh walked over and scrutinized her from head to toe before taking her hand and leading her downstairs. Bani kept her head down, silently following him. When they reached the dining area, Reyansh sat in his chair and pulled Bani onto his lap. Surrounded by many servants, Bani felt extremely uncomfortable. She whispered, "Sir, please let me go."
Reyansh tightened his grip on her waist and said, "Baby, I will never let you go. And don't worry, no one else will dare to look at you."
He glanced at all the servants, and just one look from him was enough to scare them. They quickly bowed their heads. Then Reyansh shouted, "Everyone, get back to work."
Upon hearing this, the servants quickly returned to their tasks.
After that, Reyansh began feeding Bani with his hand while she also had to feed him in return. Once they finished eating, Reyansh took Bani back to his room and, caressing her lips, said, "Baby, I'm leaving. You rest today."
Bani, frightened, replied, "I have to go to college."
Reyansh glared at her and said, "You're not going anywhere—neither home nor college. If you want to study, you'll do it online, but you are not allowed to leave this house."
Bani cried, "Why are you doing this? Let me go home, please! What have I done to deserve this?"
Reyansh pulled Bani closer, placing a finger on her lips. "Shhh. I didn't give you permission to cry. Stop it."
At his command, Bani stifled her sobs, but she continued to sniffle. Reyansh, looking into her eyes, said, "You will have to stay with me for the rest of your life. Get that little thought out of your head. The moment you came close to me, you became mine. Do you understand?"
With that, Reyansh left in anger. Once he was gone, Bani began to cry again and sank down to the floor, overwhelmed and unsure of what to do.
After a while, Bani's phone rang. Quickly wiping her tears, she searched for her phone and found it on the bedside table.
Seeing the name flashing on the screen, she composed herself and answered, "Hello?"
Naina asked, "Where are you, Bani? Why haven't you answered my calls for two days?"
Bani replied, "I… I'm out of town for work."
Naina responded, "But you're a new employee! Why…?"
Bani quickly explained, "Yes, they sent the new employees out for experience this time."
Naina, sounding worried, asked, "But what about your classes?"
Bani reassured her, "I'll attend them online."
Naina smiled, "Alright, take care. Love you!"
Bani managed a smile. "Love you too."
After hanging up, Bani's eyes filled with tears again.
She whispered to herself, "That night took away my freedom. Why did I go to that bar? If I hadn't, I would never have to deal with this man."
Meanwhile, at Oberoi Industries, Reyansh sat in his chair, his eyes burning with anger.
He had tapped Bani's phone to listen to her conversations, and hearing her say "love you" to someone else drove him mad.
Staring at the laptop screen, he muttered, "You will be punished for this, baby. Get ready for your punishment."
With that, he closed the footage and took a moment to calm himself.
