Priyanka 's POV

I didn't understand why ranveer didn't respond to me. I looked at him with confusion. His face was devoid of any expression. His eyes looked cold which was not right because I always have seen warmth and love in his eyes. What had gone wrong?

' Ranveer? Is everything all right?'

He pushed me back and I stumbled a little. He smirked . This is giving me a bad vibe. I had seen him with a smirk before but this time it doesn't feel alright.

He grabbed my arm and pinned me to the wall. He put both of his hand on either side of my face. He looked so fierce as if a lion is ready to attack his prey. His eyes had become red in anger. But I could also see some pain hidden in his eyes which I never saw before. Strangely my heart beat had increased. For the first time I felt scared being so close to him. When he was near me I never feared anything but now I am afraid of him. I gulped audibly.

He tucked a hair strand behind my ear. He moved his forefinger down my temple to my cheek and then held my chin. He gently rubbed his thumb over cheek and smirked again.

He had no idea what his simple touch was doing to my body. I felt like a shiver ran down spine and butterflies in my stomach. It's not the first time he had touch me but today it had a different effect on me. Maybe because now we are married and he is my husband.

In our a year long relationship we had never been close physically. I mean we had just hugged each other and not even kissed once.

' Priyanka is there something important about you or your past that I should know as now I am your husband and have the right to know you'

I was sacred at his question. Why was he asking this? Had he come across the truth? That's why he's behaving so strangely? What should I do now?

' What ... do you ... mean ranveer? ' He chuckled.

' You look so innocent Priyanka'

Look? What did he mean?

' Who can believe that you are capable of killing a person or should I say that you killed someone. '

My blood frooze. He knows. He knows the truth. Now what? I know he's an honest officer so would he arrest me? Would I loose my love?

' Ranveer .... I .... '

' What happened? Do you forget how to speak?'

He leaned towards me.

' where were you on the night of 2 March 2014' he asked in a dangerous voice. Just the way a police officer would ask a criminal. I could never imagine that such a situation would arise between us.

' Looks like you have lost your memory. Then let me do the honour of reminding you. You were in Pune and going on the same hilly road where a young girl met with an accident and rolled down the hill. It was a distant lonely place so there there was no cctv cameras so the police could not find out that person who crushed an innocent girl under her car and silently went from there to save herself without caring for that girl who was lying in pool of blood fighting for her life. You must have remembered everything now after all you saw it with your own eyes as you were that person.'

He shouted the last sentence. It was the first time that he had raised his voice before me. I was scared but more than that I was in guilt. Because he was saying the truth. I am responsible for a girl 's death. I killed a human. I remembered the dark night which spread darkness in my life. The guilt that had been consuming me over these 3 years was now overwhelming me. I didn't know when tears rolled down my cheek.

' Ranveer .... please listen ..... I am..... so sorry .... '

I said in between my sobs before he rudely said,

' Sorry? Can your sorry save that girl? Can all your family 's money and power save her? tell me Priyanka '

He again shouted while banging his right hand on the wall. I nodded in a no.

' It was an .... accident ..... I didn't wanted .... to harm ..... anyone .... '

' Have you ever thought what had she and her family gone through? Do you have any idea that how many people you have hurt because of your one mistake?'

I bent my head down. I didn't know what to say to him as I know what I had done isn't forgivable.

He came closer to me. I could feel his warm breadth over my neck and right ear.

' This is the biggest truth of your life. Now I want to tell you the biggest truth of my life.'

I looked into his eyes. What was he talking about?

' That girl is my sister. And I never loved you. I just acted so that I can marry you and take my revenge. '

I fell on the floor with a thud. My eyes were blind with tears.

' One more thing I hate you the most in this world'

He hated me. My husband my love hated me. My heart was shattered into a million pieces. All those dreams of a happy married life were turned into dust. Maybe this is the punishment of my mistake. I should have never believed I could find love or happiness.I never deserved it in the first place. I shouldn't have kept a hope. How can I expect to live a good life when I am responsible for someone's death. That's why I wanted to die on that day but I was saved. Did God spare my life in the past only to give me this pain?

' You are looking so sad now but I haven't even done a thing. Save your tears for later because this is only the beginning. Anyway an emergency has come up and I have to go. Sleep well after all its your wedding night '

He left the room. The room was decorated beautifully with rose petals and candles but still it felt so gloomy. All the windows were closed and curtains were pull out.

Ranveer 'sPOV

I entered the room she hugged me. The feeling to be her arms is kinda strange. It's hard to describe how I feel when I am with her and close to her. I don't understand myself.

I was stiff. She noticed and was confused. Then I told her th reason behind this marriage. She was in tears. I expected her to refuse but she didn't instead she apologised. More than fear I saw guilt in her eyes. She looked so genuine.

I don't know why but I don't like her tears. I am just being over sensitive. She deserves more than this.

I received a call from my team. I am on a leave because of this marriage. I am going to rejoin after 2 more days. Still if they called me then it has to be something serious.

I attended the call. We had received information that terrorists are planning a bomb blast in the city. I need to go. So I informed her and left locking the house. It's not like that I don't trust her or something else. I am just having a feeling that she might be in danger and I shouldn't leave her. Don't know why I am feeling so insecure about her now? Is she in any danger? Just in case if anyone come in search of her then they would leave seeing the door locked. I hope nothing goes wrong. Why I am scared to lose her?
