Chapter 10 - “Did you see the girl’s face?”

**Both families arrive at the engagement venue. After some dancing and music, finally, it was time for the ring ceremony. Nisha and Varun walk up on the stage while everyone else remains standing below.**

Varun's radiant smile clearly shows his happiness, while Nisha's face is covered with sadness.

Varun places the ring on Nisha's finger… and just as Nisha is about to place the ring on his finger, a loud gunshot is heard, causing her to drop the ring in shock.

Everyone turns toward the direction of the gunshot and sees several guards dressed in black holding guns. The sight terrifies everyone present.

Then, from between the guards, a man steps out... the moment everyone sees him, a single name escapes their lips – **"Adhiraj Singh Rathore."**

No one could believe their eyes. Adhiraj was a mysterious man, rarely seen in public. The fact that he suddenly appeared shocked everyone.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on him, but his eyes were fixed on just one person — Nisha.

Adhiraj starts walking toward Nisha on the stage. He glances at Varun for a moment, and then coldly stares at Nisha. As his eyes fall on her fingers and see the ring Varun had placed...

His anger intensifies. He grabs Nisha's hand and forcibly removes the ring, throwing it right at Varun's face.

Nisha becomes furious seeing this. The ring hits Varun's face, leaving a cut. Even though she didn't love Varun, he was still a human being.

**"What the hell is this? Who are you?"**

Nisha rushes to clean the blood off Varun's face… seeing that, Adhiraj becomes even more furious.

He grabs Nisha's hand and pulls her close…

**"Forget him, you should be worried about yourself,"** he says coldly before lifting her in his arms and walking away.

Everyone just stood there, stunned, but no one had the courage to stop him. Everyone knew too well how powerful he was.

Nisha tried her best to free herself, but Adhiraj's grip was so tight that all her efforts went in vain.

**"This is just the beginning. You're already struggling? Just wait and see what more is to come,"** Adhiraj says in a chilling voice.

He carries Nisha outside, where several luxury black cars are waiting. He heads straight to the one in the center and sits inside, still carrying Nisha in his arms.

As soon as they sit, the driver starts the car.

Nisha tries to get out of his lap, but Adhiraj holds her tightly.

**"Let me go! Who are you? Where are you taking me? At least put me down!"**

Adhiraj replies flatly, **"No… and you'd better get used to this."**

**"What do you mean? Are you always going to carry me like this?"**

**"Yes."**

**"But why?"**

**"Enough with the questions. Shut your mouth or I'll throw you out of the moving car."**

Terrified by Adhiraj's anger, Nisha stays quiet. Adhiraj continues with his plans.

After a while, the car stops. Adhiraj steps out with Nisha still in his arms. They were now at the airport. A large private jet was waiting — Adhiraj's personal aircraft. He takes Nisha aboard and sits down with her.

**"Where are we going?"** Nisha asks softly.

**"Goa,"** he replies casually.

The moment she hears "Goa," all color drains from her face. The memories of what happened in Goa start flooding her mind again. Seeing the expressions on her face, Adhiraj smirks wickedly.

**"What happened? Memories coming back already…?"**

Nisha lowers her gaze, her mind consumed by the past.

Adhiraj, in his mind, thinks, *"It's okay. I'll make you relive every memory… all over again in Goa."*

After about a two-hour flight, their jet lands in Goa. Several cars are already waiting. Adhiraj gets into one of them with Nisha.

After a while, the car stops in front of a huge mansion. Outside, it's labeled "Rathore Mansion" in diamond letters. Adhiraj enters with Nisha in his arms.

Nisha is stunned by the beauty of the mansion. It was breathtaking.

**"Beautiful, isn't it?"**

**"Yes, very…"**

**"This isn't a mansion… it's a golden cage, and you'll be its prisoner for the rest of your life."**

Hearing this, a shiver runs through Nisha's body. Her whole frame trembles in fear, something Adhiraj notices — and it strangely satisfies him.

He takes her to a room and throws her onto the bed.

**"Stay here until I return…"**

**"When will you come back?"**

**"I don't know. Maybe today… maybe tomorrow… maybe never."**

**"No, please don't do this… let me go! Why are you doing this to me?"**

He doesn't reply and walks away. On his way out, he locks the door from the outside and leaves.

**Nisha screamed from behind, but Adhiraj didn't pay her any attention. She kept banging the door for a long time. Finally, when there was no response, she collapsed back on the bed in defeat.**

Dehradun...

Rihanna had an exam. Technically, Nisha also had one today, but it was her engagement day, so she couldn't attend.

The exam was scheduled for the afternoon shift. Before heading in, Rihanna tried calling Nisha, but there was no answer. She assumed Nisha must be busy and didn't think much of it.

Rihanna entered the examination hall and took her seat. Soon after, the examiner arrived and began distributing the question papers.

Half the exam had gone by when suddenly, the door of the hall burst open. A group of masked men stormed in — each holding a gun. Among them, one man stepped forward, scanning the room intently. His eyes locked onto Rihanna.

He strode toward her swiftly and stood right in front of her. The gun in his hand terrified Rihanna.

The man scanned her from head to toe, then leaned slightly and said, "Scared?"

Rihanna nodded her head gently.

"Don't worry… I won't hurt you. As long as you behave and come with me quietly."

"No!!" Rihanna shook her head firmly.

"Oh, not coming?" he smirked, then without another word, hoisted her over his shoulder and walked out. Everyone watched — shocked — but no one dared stop him.

Rihanna struggled hard to break free, but his grip was too strong.

Outside, he shoved her into a car, got in himself, and ordered the driver to go.

"Who are you? Let me go! I swear I'll scream!"

"Oh, scream all you want… I'd love to see who dares save you from me."

"Please, I haven't done anything to you... let me go...!"

"Shut up," he snapped. "This gun has six bullets. I won't hesitate to empty them all in your mouth."

Terrified, Rihanna shrank into a corner and went silent.

A while later, the car reached the airport. He got out, dragged her along, and boarded a private jet.

After a few hours of flying, they landed in Goa.

From the jet, they boarded another car. It drove through the lush green path and stopped in front of a massive mansion. The sign outside read *"Rathore Mansion"* in diamond letters.

He took Rihanna inside and locked her in a room — even switching off the lights as he left.

Rihanna was terrified of the dark. She began screaming at the top of her lungs, but there was no one to hear her. Eventually, she too sat down quietly in a corner, exhausted.

**At the same time…**

Adhiraj was sitting in his office when Ranvijay and Viruddh walked in and settled into the chairs beside him.

Adhiraj looked toward Viruddh and asked, "Brought the girl?"

"Yes. Just a while ago. Locked her in a room. She screams a lot... gave me a headache," Viruddh grumbled.

Adhiraj asked, "Any updates about *that night*?"

Ranvijay replied, "Still digging… I'll find out the truth soon. But Adhiraj, do you really think those girls did it intentionally? Honestly, they don't seem the type."

"You can't judge someone's nature by their face, Ranvijay."

Ranvijay nodded quietly.

Let's go back to the night they're talking about…

**Flashback...**

Adhiraj had an important business meeting that night at the Elite Club. He had gone alone.

During the meeting, someone spiked his drink with drugs. Soon, he started feeling dizzy and weak.

Realizing something was wrong, Adhiraj left and checked into the nearest hotel.

Inside his room, the drugs took full effect. He lost all control over his senses.

When he woke up the next morning, he was stunned. He was completely naked.

He tried to remember what happened but couldn't. Only faint flashes crossed his mind — images of being very intimate with someone.

Though his mind was foggy, his body still remembered the touch. But he had no clue *who* the girl was.

Still groggy, he quickly dressed and called Ranvijay for help.

Within minutes, Ranvijay and Viruddh arrived.

The room was a mess. Adhiraj was sitting on the couch, holding his head in his hands.

Seeing him like that, they rushed to him. "Adhiraj, what happened? Why are you like this?"

Adhiraj took a deep breath and told them everything.

They were stunned.

Viruddh asked, "Did you see the girl's face?"

"No," Adhiraj replied. "She was gone before I woke up. I don't remember her face at all… but her touch… I can still feel it all over me."
