Was this a wedding…
or the beginning of something far more dangerous?
My eyes were still locked on the stranger… his grip around my wrist firm, as if he had no intention of letting me go.
"Come," he said quietly.
His voice… calm, yet filled with authority.
I was confused. Angry… and scared.
"I don't even know you!" I shouted, but my voice wasn't as strong as I wanted it to be.
He gave a faint smile… but there was no warmth in it. Only mystery.
"You do… you just don't realize it yet."
A cold shiver ran down my spine.
The wedding mandap was fading behind us. People stood in shock… some whispering, some recording everything.
But one thing was clear—
my life was never going to be normal again.
We reached the car. He opened the door, but I stopped.
"I'm not going anywhere," I said firmly.
This time, he looked straight into my eyes… and for the first time, I saw something different.
A warning.
"If you don't come with me now…" he leaned closer and whispered,
"it won't just be you… your loved ones will pay the price."
My heart started pounding violently.
This wasn't just a forced wedding…
this was something much more dangerous.
Slowly… I chose to sit inside the car.
And as the car sped away,
I turned back to see my old life disappearing behind me.
But I didn't know…
The world I was stepping into,
was one I might never escape from.
