"And since you mentioned I'm Agnihotri, you should know the powers I possess." My throat went dry as he spoke, and my heart filled with frustration towards him. He's too skilled wit...

KASHI'S POV
I had never seen him this sinister before. He looked like a devil—like a whole new person. My heart pounded in my chest. After the conversation with Papa, I realized that this family was playing a dark game.
My father was never like this; he would have moved heaven and earth to protect me. But this time, he seemed to have surrendered. It felt like he didn't want to protect me because he thought I was safe here, as if he were hiding something.
We all are sinners, keeping secrets deeply buried. No one seemed to show their true colors, yet I was the one bearing all the consequences. It wasn't my fault, but I was the one at the receiving end.
Did I say it wasn't my fault? Either way you go, it was solely my fault. From all the mistakes I committed while making descions, till the secrets that were buried in my closet- it was all my fault.
"You need a good punishment to set it in your brain that you are not allowed to commit this mistake again," he said, his voice filled with anger and intensity. Goosebumps rose on my skin, pulling me from my thoughts.
Punishment? Was he going to hit me?
My heart raced. After my father's betrayal, I felt unsafe and scared. What would he do to me?
Papa said they wouldn't hurt me, so why is this man acting like he wants to? Why can't my father understand that he can't trust these people? Was this why the Agnihotris kept me away from my parents? Because they knew that my parents' words would pierce my heart?
Whatever the reason, the man standing in front of me was terrifying. He looked like he could do something terrible at any moment. I needed to do something—anything—to avoid whatever he was planning.
No, Kashi, you can't let him hurt you. I glanced at him, his expression dark and full of anger. I could almost feel the heat of his rage. I was scared enough to beg him not to hurt me, but then I remembered something. He'd said he loved me, hadn't he? If he truly loved me, maybe I could use that to my advantage.
Taking slow, cautious steps toward him, I tried to calm my breathing. This was desperate, but it was my last option.
Get ready to hate yourself, Kashi.
I wrapped my arms around his torso, feeling tears welling in my eyes. I knew I was emotionally manipulating him, but I didn't have any other choice.
"Please, don't hurt me. You said you liked me, didn't you?" I whispered, my voice trembling. I held on tightly, knowing that I might need to beg to keep him from snapping. It was pathetic, but if it saved me from whatever punishment he had in mind, then so be it.
He didn't hug me back, which made me feel ashamed. "That was before we were married to different people," he said, pulling away.
My teary eyes met his cold hazel-green gaze, and I couldn't contain the rage simmering within me. With all my strength, I pushed him, making him stumble. With tears streaming down my cheeks, I glared at him. "Shame on you and your family. I won't stay here. LET ME GO."
