Third Person's Pov

Staring at her reflection, the veil felt heavy on her head, not just from the heavy embroidery on her wedding lehenga but from the weight of her decision. A decision that made her succumb to her father's wish and reopen all the old wounds. Her father has always supported her and gave her everything she wanted. She could've defied her father's wish but can't risk her father's health anymore. The crimson colour in a lehenga signifies a new beginning filled with love, affection and care but for her, it's the colour of hate and animosity. The lehenga adorning her is by far the most beautiful one has ever seen and why wouldn't it? She is the daughter of the multi-millionaire Ved Kapoor. A knock on the door startled her. It was Priyanshi, her best friend and confidante, whose eyes were sparkling with concern

"Kriz," She began, "You don't have to do this."

Akriti forced a smile and said, "I can't be selfish Pri. Dad has never asked me for anything. Doctors have strictly told us to not give him any sort of stress. If my marriage with Reyansh can relieve him from stress, then I wouldn't back off."

"This isn't you, Kriz. You always take decisions from your brain. That asshole doesn't deserve you."

"My Dad's health is my priority and I can do anything for him. Secondly, Reyansh Mitthal is entering into my hell. He will regret the very moment he said yes to this marriage."

✧⁠✧✧

Laughter and chatter filled the air, punctuated by the rhythmic beat of dhol (drums) and shehnai (clarinet). A vibrant tapestry of colours unfolded - women in shimmering sarees, men in regal sherwanis, and children weaving through the crowd, their laughter like tinkling bells. The wedding was a sight to behold, witnessing the union of two beautiful couples. One was in love, and the other had hatred. Behind the splendid façade, lay nothing but animosity and disdain between the couple.

"Aaj se aap pati aur patni hai." The pandit said and she came out of her thoughts.

(From today, I pronounce you as husband and wife.)

"Hello, Mrs. Akriti Reyansh Mitthal." Reyansh said smirking.

"It's Akriti Kapoor. This marriage is nothing but a compromise I made for my Dad's sake. I don't accept you as my husband. She replied.

"You are bound to me, now. You will not only accept me as your husband, but you will also fall in love with me all over again." 

"I don't know about you but I don't make the same mistake twice."

"No matter how high your defences are, my love, I promise to find a way to deeply connect with your heart and hold a special place in it."

"Welcome to my hell, Devil."
