In a terrifying blur of moments, Manik's lips crushed down on Priya's. She beat against his chest, her heart hammering with a desperate plea. "You don't want to sign the paper, fine," Manik growled against her mouth, his voice raw. "Today I will make you mine. Before, I thought if you signed the marriage paper, we'd legally be husband and wife, but you refuse, so don't blame me for what I do next."
Fear gripped Priya. She swallowed hard, her voice a weak whisper. "What... what will you do?"
Manik kissed her again, then forcefully pushed her onto his lap. He carried her to the bed, Priya's screams echoing in the opulent suite. "Please stop! You don't do this to me!" But Manik was beyond listening. He laid her on the bed, and when she tried to scramble away, he grabbed her hand, pinning her down. He was on top of her in an instant, crushing her lips with his own. Tears streamed down Priya's face, but then Manik began to kiss her neck, so softly, so possessively, that a faint moan escaped her. It fueled his excitement. He moved to her collarbone, leaving harsh hickeys. He tore off his shirt, then once again, pinned her beneath him. He roughly removed her dress and undergarments. Now, they were both nude. Manik kissed her body, leaving a trail of hickeys, and moments later, he thrust into her.
Priya screamed, a raw, agonizing sound, as tears flowed unchecked from her eyes. Manik kissed her lips, trying to numb the pain of her lost virginity, but Priya's eyes, red and swollen from crying, stared at him, filled with a horrific understanding of what he was doing. He continued, kissing her neck, her collarbone, her breasts, every part of her body, intertwining her cries with soft moans of pain. Priya's sounds filled the suite until 7 PM, as Manik continued his assault, while outside, a heavy rain poured.
At 9 PM, Priya woke, her body aching, sore, and deeply violated. The pain was unbearable, and fresh tears welled in her eyes. As she tried to move, a heavy hand rested on her waist. She turned her head to see Manik's face - the face of the man who had destroyed her. Tears fell freely down her cheeks. Slowly, carefully, she removed his hand from her waist and, with agonizing effort, got out of bed. The pain shot through her, but she ignored it, grabbing her clothes and dressing herself. Minutes later, she left the hotel.
In an unknown suite, Naina woke, disoriented. She was disoriented, realizing she must have fainted. As consciousness fully returned, so did a burning anger towards Manik for what had happened. But then, a far more profound realization struck her: she was not Priya. She was Naina Suryavanshi.
Just as this truth hit her, she heard a voice. She turned to see her best friend, Vikram, standing there. He stared at Naina for a long moment, almost as if seeing a ghost after all these years. Then, he rushed forward, pulling her into a tight embrace. "Where were you?" he asked, his voice thick with emotion.
Naina, through her tears, recounted everything: how she became Priya, her adoptive family, the devastating betrayal by her friends, and the horrific act committed by Manik. Vikram listened, his face contorting with rage. He wanted to kill Manik for what he had done to his friend, but Naina stopped him. Her heart was now heavy with worry for her Priya family, her adoptive family who had treated her like a princess. She knew she couldn't burden them with the brutal truth of what had happened to her. But there was one person she could tell: her adoptive mother. Naina asked Vikram for her mobile phone, which was switched off. He handed her a fully charged one.
Naina called her mother. After a few rings, her mom answered. Naina told her that they needed to meet secretly, without anyone else knowing. Her adoptive mother, sensing the urgency and fear in Naina's voice, immediately agreed. Naina sent her current location via WhatsApp.
A few hours later, Naina stood on the balcony, the heavy rain washing over her, trying to cleanse the memories that stubbornly clung. Vikram remained inside, watching over her. Her adoptive mother arrived, and as Naina poured out her heart - revealing her true identity, the murder of her real parents, how she came to be adopted, the betrayal of her friends, and Manik's brutal rape - her mother wept. She was heartbroken for Naina, her daughter whom she had worried about for so many years.
After a few minutes, Naina's mother spoke, her voice resolute despite her tears. "Take revenge for your real parents' deaths, and find your real brother." Naina turned, crying, but her resolve hardened. She promised her mother that once she found the culprits who had killed her real parents and brought them down, she would return home to her and her family. Her mother nodded, a silent vow passing between them.
