"We shouldn't have changed the bullets, Harshad. Manik is lying in that situation because of us." I said without a thought.

"He brought it himself. We are saving everyone from him, remember? He is a beast, a brutal beast." Harshad said with all the hatred.

"I don't think so, Harshad. There is something missing in the story. Manik never behaved brutally with anyone as you are behaving right now. Infact, you are not from the Mafia world, do you really think it's practical to desire Manik's position? You would not be able to protect the Empire like Manik. Please don't give into your greed." I tried to convince him.

He shut the door with a loud bang. "Now even an idiot is lecturing me supporting that Manik. I can't wait for him to open his eyes and kill all of his family."

"I am Manik's family." I shouted.

"No. You are my family. My maid." He said.

"Are you trying to protect me by making me your family? Then listen, I will be Manik's family even after you forcefully marry me and even after my hair turns grey. I love Manik and you can do nothing about it."

"Ah! I have to make you fall in love with me. You were with empty stomach from a long time isn't it?" His face had a smirk as he called out his servants. "Bring last nights leftover food."

Leftover food?

Within a few minutes a plate of stale rice was infront of me.

"Let's see how this beautiful princess eats the food which is mixed with my spit." He spat on the food right infront of me.

Tears burned at the insult. I blinked rapidly and still looked at his face without fear. "Why are you doing all this Harshad? You were such a nice man, why are you treating everyone in such a mean way."

"I am the Boss. You all never had a problem when Manik was doing all this when he was a Boss then why all the fuss about me? I have all the right to treat all the people ranked below under my foot."

I shook my head. "Manik never mistreated his people. He kept his life at stake to protect his Empire. You. Will. Never. Take. Manik's. Place." I stressed every single word.

Fury rose his eyes as he pulled me by my hair and pushed me to the floor next to the plate. "I was waiting to torture you after our marriage but now you are asking for it by speaking nonsense. Now lick it like a bitch."

I used one hand to free my hair and other hand to cover my mouth. I didn't even ate if the fresh food went cold at my home and I am being served with this punishment. Why must my parents chose him for me? Why can't they chose Manik for me?

I respecting Harshad just because he was my parents favorite and with his behaviour he is losing that as well.

I pulled the plate and threw it on his face in anger. The goey mass spread all over his face and dropped to the floor.

He left my hair and removed the mess from his clothes and dropped them to the floor.

I crawled back away from him and rested my back to the legs of the strong bed.

"We are chosen for each other, Nandini. You have to obey your soon to be husband's order like a good girl." He spoke as he stomped the stale rice with his shoes making it dirtier.

"Hey." He called for a servant. "Pick everything from this floor and serve it to Niyonika."

I looked in horror as the servant obeyed and picked everything into the plate.

"Have some shame, Harshad. She is your mother." I yelled in anger.

"So? She is related to the ex-Boss and I have to do it." He shrugged.
