Chapter 26 - 26. The Truth Unveiled and the Chains of Fate

The night sky over Mumbai was darker than usual, mirroring the storm brewing inside Abhay Rajpoot's heart. The city lights flickered below, unaware of the silent war waging in Abhay's penthouse—the war between truth and betrayal, love and hatred.

[Scene 1: The Confession]

Ruhi stood trembling in the center of the lavish living room. Her heart pounded, not from fear of death but from the weight of her own lies finally collapsing.

Abhay's piercing gaze never left her. His fists clenched, jaw tightened, and eyes filled with unfiltered rage. The man who ruled over life and death had been deceived—and that was unforgivable.

"Speak, Ruhi," he growled, his voice low and dangerous. "Tell me everything before I lose control."

Ruhi took a deep breath, her eyes shimmering with tears she could no longer hold back.

"I am not who you think I am," she whispered. "I was sent here by the American Research Laboratories."

Abhay's face darkened.

"They're conducting secret experiments—on superhumans. People like you, Abhay. You're not just an ordinary man. Your evolution... it's beyond anything they've ever seen."

Abhay's rage boiled over. He smashed the glass table beside him with a single punch, shards flying across the room.

"So, I was just an experiment to you?" he roared.

Ruhi flinched but didn't back down. "No! It started as a mission, but... I never expected to feel this way about you."

Her voice broke, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"I'm not just a secret agent. I am also an ancient martial artist, trained in forgotten arts passed down for generations. After my master's death, I had nothing left. That's when the Americans found me… and turned me into their weapon."

Abhay's chest heaved with fury. He grabbed her by the wrist, his grip like iron. "You think your tears will save you?"

But as he stared into her tear-filled eyes, something snapped—not in her, but in him.

[Scene 2: The Decision of Madness]

Instead of killing her, which would've been the logical choice, Abhay did something unexpected… something ruthless even by his own standards.

"If I can't trust you as my secretary," he hissed, "then you'll stay by my side as my wife."

Ruhi's eyes widened in shock. "W-What?!"

Abhay's grip tightened. "You played with my heart, my mind, and my life. Now, you'll pay the price. You will marry me, Ruhi. Not out of love—but because I want to own you."

Ruhi struggled, trying to break free. "You can't force me!"

Abhay's eyes flashed with uncontrollable rage. "I can do whatever I want."

His words weren't just a threat—they were a promise.

[Scene 3: The Shadows of the Past]

After the heated confrontation, Ruhi sat alone in the corner of the room, her wrists bruised from Abhay's grip.

Her mind drifted back to her master, the only person who had ever cared for her before Abhay. She remembered his teachings:

"Emotions are a weakness."

"Love makes you vulnerable."

"Trust no one, especially your heart."

But here she was—broken, vulnerable, and… in love with the man who now saw her as nothing more than a possession.

She whispered to herself, "Master, forgive me. I've failed… again."

[Scene 4: The Ruthless Wedding]

Within days, Abhay arranged a private, extravagant wedding. There were no friends, no family—just power, wealth, and control on display.

Ruhi stood beside him in a beautiful red saree, her face emotionless. But inside, she was drowning in regret and heartbreak.

As the priest chanted mantras, Abhay leaned closer, his voice like venom in her ear.

"You could've been free, Ruhi. But you chose to betray me. Now, you belong to me—forever."

Ruhi didn't respond. She had lost the battle, but the war wasn't over.

[Scene 5: A Dangerous Union Begins]

The marriage marked the beginning of a new chapter—not of love, but of dominance and silent rebellion.

Abhay thought he had won.

Ruhi thought she had lost.

But destiny had other plans.

Beneath the surface of this toxic bond, something dark was brewing—an enemy neither of them had expected.

And soon, Abhay would learn that even the most powerful king isn't safe when the queen decides to strike.
