|D A A R I K A POV|

"Leave me......where are you dragging me to?" I asked as his grip on my hand tightened.

He was dragging me somewhere.

He felt me struggling a lot so he pushed me to the nearest wall and my back collided with the wall.

"Let me tell you Daarika. Your actions hurts the pride of my country. You are no longer a woman of Hind but a woman of my palace from the moment I married you. What will the people speak when they come to know that my bride tried to run away from me? That too on the wedding night? " He screamed at my face.

"You hate tried to humiliate me, the sultan and I never tolerated a person humiliating me. You deserve a punishment " he said and his hands slowly traced on my cheeks.

I flinched at his touch when his cold bare fingers touched my hot chubby cheeks.

"I hope you will learn your mistakes and will never try to go against me in the future. This time I am going easy on you and that doesn't mean I will at the next time. Have a good night here" he said and suddenly pushed me aside inside a hole more like a dug hole.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING???! LET ME OUT!"  Daarika said

"I saw that you love climbing walls. Climb and come out if you can or spend your night here. Good night " he said and went away leaving me in the dark and shabby hole.

"Let me out!!! " Daarika yelled but no reply from up.

"Screw him!" She crused at him.

She sat down in one corner and looked at the moon which was shining brightly.

"Mother......." She wispered

"Everything is in chaos......please help me to achieve what I started" she prayed.

|Y U H A A N POV|

I know she would to this but was i little harsh with her? But now she became my wife. She had to be my wife utleast until I was crowned officially as the sultan.

I was thinking deeply when someone entered my chamber.

"You are harsh towards your wife little brother" said the person who entered the room.

Yuhaan's brow tightened knowing who was it

"But I must say, she is beautiful just like Suhani" he said and Yuhaan turned and saw him elder brother, Rihaan Muhammad Khan.

"I dare you to speak a word again about her" yuhaan said

"Calm down. I won't snatch your wife away but...." Yuhaan looked at him with a anger filled eyes

"Will make her mine sooner. Both her and this kingdom" he wispered in yuhaan's ears and went away.

Yuhaan's eyes was filled with anger and rage. He broke the vase which was near him.

"I won't let it happen" he said

|NEXT DAY|

"Choti Begum" someone called Daarika who was sleeping while hugging her knees.

Daarika woke up hearing the person's call.

"Choti begum, wake up" she said and Daarika woke up and looked at her

"What are you doing here?" She asked Aruhi who was standing up.

"I came here to help you. You have to meet sultan" she said

"Why should I meet him again?" Daarika asked

"Today there is a important meeting in the palace and you are asked to be summoned"
She said and Daarika nodded her head.

She came out with the help of Aruhi and moved back to her chamber.

She changed herself into a peacock green lehanga and groomed herself to be presented in the court

"Aruhi" Daarika called her

"Yes choti begum" she said

"I heard that sultan has a first wife and loves her immensely. I haven't seen here yet" Daarika said.

Aruhi who was combing her hair halted in her steps. Daarika looked at her through the mirror

"What happened?" Daarika asked her.

"T-that-" she was cut of by the door opening and aruhi bowed to the person who entered the chamber.

"Greetings concubine Tamana" she greeted.

Daarika looked at a woman who  a stunningly beautiful woman with long, dark hair that cascades down her back in luscious waves. Her deep brown eyes are framed by long lashes, and her full lips are  painted in a luxurious red. She stands at a petite 5'4', but her presence is anything but small.

"Who is she?" Daarika questioned Aruhi who was standing there

"Stay away from my sultan" that woman said

Daarika's eyes frown

"My Sultan? Are you his wife?" She questioned her

She chuckled

"I am his legal concubine who will soon be his legal wife, Tamana " she said proudly

Daarika looked at her confused
