Reyansh seemed to have lost his mind. Around 4 AM, he lay down with Bani on top of him and fell asleep.
The next day, when Reyansh opened his eyes, he saw Bani sleeping on him. He gently moved her to his side, kissed her forehead, and headed to the washroom.
After he left, Bani opened her eyes, which were filled with tears and hatred. Sitting on the bed, she put on Reyansh's shirt. Then, her gaze fell on Reyansh's phone on the side table. She glanced at the washroom door and then back at the phone, picking it up and starting to do something on it. About five minutes later, she placed the phone back on the side table, an odd smile on her face. Just then, the washroom door opened, and Reyansh stepped out, staring at her, making Bani flinch.
Reyansh emerged, a towel wrapped around his waist, water dripping from his hair. He looked incredibly handsome. For a moment, Bani couldn't take her eyes off him, but then she looked away.
Reyansh approached her and kissed her cheek, saying, "Good morning, baby."
At his gesture, Bani clenched her fists. Noticing this, Reyansh smirked devilishly and whispered in her ear, "There's a different thrill in your hatred, baby."
Saying this, he bit her earlobe. Bani closed her eyes, while Reyansh chuckled at her reaction.
Then, Bani opened her eyes, lightly pushed him away, and went into the washroom. Reyansh stood there for a while, staring at the washroom door, before heading to the closet.
In the washroom, Bani stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself. Addressing her reflection, she said, "Along with hating you, I've started to hate myself. You've destroyed my dignity and self-respect. You're using me just for your desire; I hate you, Reyansh Oberoi, I truly hate you."
With that, she stepped under the shower, tossing Reyansh's shirt aside.
A little while later, Bani stood before the mirror, now wearing a bathrobe. Her eyes were red from crying. Trying to compose herself, she said, "Control, Bani. You can't show weakness, not at all."
Meanwhile, Reyansh waited in the room for Bani. He thought to himself, "Why hasn't she come out yet?"
With that thought, he knocked on the washroom door, saying, "Bani, open the door."
Bani quickly opened the door and stepped out, looking a bit flustered. Reyansh, with a cold expression, asked, "Were you waiting for me to knock?"
Bani, still flustered, replied, "No, I just forgot to grab some clothes."
Interrupting her, Reyansh said, "So, you were waiting for me to leave. Baby, there's nothing that can be hidden from me. And besides, you're wearing a bathrobe."
Then he leaned close to her ear and added, "Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything right now."
After saying that, he distanced himself and said, "I'll be waiting for you downstairs. Come quickly."
With that, Reyansh went downstairs.
Bani went to the closet room, and a little later, she stood in front of the dressing table. She wore a black, sleeveless one-piece dress that reached her thighs. She applied kohl to her eyes and baby pink lipstick to her lips, leaving her hair down. After slipping on black heels, she glanced at the dressing table one last time.
When Bani arrived in the dining hall, Reyansh was already there. Looking at her, he said, "Looking hot, baby."
Bani remained silent, causing Reyansh to glare at her. "Don't you dare ignore me, baby."
Bani closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and replied, "Thanks for your compliment."
Hearing this, Reyansh's face broke into a broad smile. He looked at her and said, "Baby, today you're going shopping."
Bani, who was picking up a spoon to eat, looked at him in confusion. After all, Reyansh had previously forbidden her from going out of the house.
Reading her expression, Reyansh said, "Baby, we're leaving for London tomorrow, so today you will go shopping."
Saying this, he stood up from his chair. Bani also stood and said, "I'm not going anywhere."
Upon hearing this, Reyansh smiled and rubbed his neck before suddenly grabbing both of Bani's arms, pulling her close to him. Bani flinched at his sudden action.
Reyansh looked into her eyes and said, "You will do as I say. You don't have the audacity to refuse Reyansh Oberoi. You are a necessity for me, and I'm taking you with me. Understood?"
With that, he abruptly released her, causing Bani to bump against the dining table. Staring at her, Reyansh said in a cold voice, "You will go shopping now because I want you to."
With that, Reyansh walked away. Tears welled up in Bani's eyes. When she lifted her head, she noticed all the servants watching her. Some looked at her with sympathy, while others with disgust.
Closing her eyes, Bani thought, "Your need will weigh heavily on you, Reyansh."
As Bani closed her eyes and lost herself in thought, a guard approached her, bowing his head and saying, "Mam, please come with me."
Hearing this, Bani silently followed him outside and got into the car. About 15 minutes later, the car stopped outside a large mall. As Bani stepped out, she noticed four bodyguards standing by her car.
Entering the mall, she saw that it was completely empty. Bani looked at the guard in astonishment. He quickly said, "Mam, the boss ordered that you will shop alone."
Irritated by the guard's words, Bani felt anger rising within her, but she knew she couldn't act on it just yet. Reluctantly, she proceeded with her shopping. Almost an hour and a half later, she returned home and immediately went to her room.
She spent the entire day in her room. Later that night, when Reyansh arrived home, he went straight to her room. Bani was sitting on the bed, busy with her phone.
As soon as Reyansh entered the room, he snatched the phone from Bani's hand.
