The Ruse : Masquerade

Vedika x Abhimanyu

She was mute, deaf, and handicapped-an orphan from a small village after her grandfather's death.

But she was a strong-willed girl, never allowing anyone to put her down. When a man mocked her for being mute, she struck him with a vase.

Just four days after her grandfather's death, she was married off to a man who saw her only as a responsibility.

On their wedding night, he left her-and didn't return for six months. During that time, she lived in his house, treated as nothing more than a maid, working tirelessly.

Why did he leave her on their first night? And what made him come back after six long months?

And most of all-was Vedika really mute?
