Next day

"Ryan was tensed as he wondered what was wrong with her. She hadn't eaten anything all day! He thought he might have been too hard on her and decided he should approach her gently and try to understand what was bothering her. As he headed to the basement to have a calm conversation with her, he accidentally collided with his brother Austin, who was coming from the other direction."

Austin: Hey brother good morning! Tell me about your new birdie! How is she ?

Ryan: why don't you come with me and check her in the basement?

Austin: okay let's go .

"As they entered the basement, they were met with a shocking sight: only ropes attached to a pole!

Khushi was nowhere to be found! They were stunned, wondering how she had managed to escape despite the strict security measures. Their shock turned to disbelief when they saw that she had used a screwdriver to remove the pin attachments from the basement windows, making her escape route clear.

Ryan and Austin left the basement in a state of utter shock and disbelief."

Austin: Brother!!! Whom you have captured! He laughs loud mocking his brother! That innocent girl ! Oh god see she used the screw driver to open the window how smart !! She fooled all of your guards and you !

Ryan : I am not in the mood for an argument at any cost I want her here right infront of my eyes!

Austin: chill brother! I know you got the details of her family, if you can't find her just throw them away some money and tell that you kidnapped her ! But she have taken her life ; it's simple!! You can get girls like her whenever you want why are you going mad for an average girl like her ! I don't even find her attractive!!

(smack ) a loud slap echoed in the air !

Ryan: How dare you say that ! If we're not my own brother you would have been lying dead here for using these words for her Austin!! No one has the right except me to say anything about her ! And you don't have to be bothered about her family I have my own ways ! Let them search for her ; they would never find her !

Ryan's face darkens as he searches for Khushi, his anger growing with every passing minute. He can't believe she would dare to defy him like this. No one has ever had the guts to cross him, and Khushi's disappearance is a slap in the face.Ryan decides to search the surrounding areas on foot. He runs through the woods, calling out Khushi's name, his voice hoarse from shouting : if I catch her I will fuck her mind !!!

When he finally finds her in a police station he manages to get her from there with his position and power and it seems that the cops informed him about her !!

However his anger boils over. "How dare you!" he thunders, his voice echoing through the streets. "You think you can just walk out on me? I'm Ryan, for crying out loud! No one disrespects me like this!"

Khushi stands her ground, her eyes flashing with defiance. "I'm not afraid of you, Ryan. I won't be held prisoner in your mansion. I need freedom, and I won't apologize for taking it."

Ryan's anger turns to incredulity. "Freedom? You think you're some kind of prisoner?

Khushi's expression softens, but her voice remains firm. . You gave me a gilded cage. And I won't stay in it anymore."

Ryan's face twists in rage, but Khushi stands tall, refusing to back down. For the first time, Ryan sees a spark of fear in her eyes, but it only fuels his anger. "You'll pay for this, Khushi. No one fools Ryan and gets away with it."

But as he raises his hand to grab her, Khushi's expression changes. A fierce determination burns in her eyes, and she whispers, "Try it, Ryan. I dare you."

Ryan's eyes are narrow, his grip on Khushi's arm tightening. "You think you're daring me? You're just a foolish girl who doesn't know what's good for her."

Khushi's smile is like a spark to dry kindling. "Let me go, Ryan. Now."

Ryan's laughter sends a chill down Khushi's spine, but she stands firm. "You're not going anywhere. You're mine, Khushi. My property. And I'll do whatever it takes to keep you."

Khushi's eyes flash with a fierce light. "I'm not your property, Ryan. I'm a person, with a mind and a heart. And I won't be owned."

With a sudden twist,

Ryan takes her in bridal style opens the gate of his car and throws her in the backseat like a rag doll.

Khushi starts to struggle but he shuts her mouth by saying!

"If you don't shut your mouth I will rip this dress off you in the middle of road and fuck you till you pass out "

Her heart flinches with his words , tears start forming in the corner of her beautiful eyes while he drives the car recklessly towards his mansion.
