Outside the grand wedding hall, luxury black cars lined perfectly near the entrance of Verma Mansion while security guards stood alert everywhere.
Golden lights reflected beautifully against the marble floors and crystal decorations.
Everything looked perfect from the outside.
Nobody knew chaos had already begun upstairs.
Meanwhile, inside the Rathod Mansion’s private guest wing—
The Rathod brothers were getting ready for the wedding completely unaware of the disaster waiting for them.
Vihaan Rathod (ML’s Youngest Brother): “Why do I look like a rejected Bollywood villain in this suit😭”
Vihaan stood dramatically in front of the mirror fixing his black tie.
Aryan Rathod (ML’s 1st Younger Brother): “Because you behave like one.”
Vihaan Rathod (ML’s Youngest Brother): “You people never appreciate my personality.”
Karan Rathod (ML’s 2nd Younger Brother): “Your personality gives everyone stress.”
Vihaan Rathod (ML’s Youngest Brother): “Still better than Dev bhai’s scary serial-killer silence.”
The room instantly became silent.
Very silent.
Slowly…
All three brothers turned toward the couch nearby.
Dev Singh Rathod sat there calmly adjusting his watch.
Cold expression.
Sharp eyes.
Dangerous silence.
The air itself felt heavy around him.
Vihaan Rathod (ML’s Youngest Brother): “…I suddenly miss being alive.”
Aryan burst out laughing quietly while Karan rubbed his forehead tiredly.
Aryan Rathod (ML’s 1st Younger Brother): “One day bhai will actually disown you.”
Vihaan Rathod (ML’s Youngest Brother): “At least I’ll die handsome.”
For a second, Dev slowly lifted his eyes toward him.
Dev Singh Rathod (ML): “Finished?”
Silence.
Vihaan Rathod (ML’s Youngest Brother): “…Yes.”
At that moment, a servant entered nervously carrying Dev’s wedding sherwani.
Servant: “Sir, everything is ready downstairs.”
Dev stood up slowly.
The servant immediately lowered his gaze fearfully.
Because Dev Rathod was not simply powerful.
He was dangerous.
A billionaire feared in the business world.
And a nightmare whispered about in the underground world.
Aryan Rathod (ML’s 1st Younger Brother): “Still surprising that you agreed to marry.”
Dev calmly buttoned his cufflinks.
Dev Singh Rathod (ML): “It’s business.”
Vihaan Rathod (ML’s Youngest Brother): “Wow. Such romance. I’m crying emotionally.”
Karan Rathod (ML’s 2nd Younger Brother): “Ignore him.”
while in bridal room
Rajesh Verma (FL Father): “SHE RAN AWAY?!”
His furious voice echoed painfully through the room.
Meera flinched instantly while Shivani nervously stepped back.
Meera Verma (FL Mother): “Rajesh please calm down—”
Rajesh Verma (FL Father): “CALM DOWN?!”
He angrily threw a flower vase onto the floor.
Glass shattered everywhere.
Shivani jumped slightly in fear.
Rajesh Verma (FL Father): “Do you understand what disaster she created?!”
Meera Verma (FL Mother): “We’ll find her—”
Rajesh Verma (FL Father): “AND WHAT WILL I TELL DEV RATHOD UNTIL THEN?!”
The room instantly fell silent again.
Even Aarav quietly kept his chips aside now.
Because everyone knew one thing—
This was not just about a wedding anymore.
This involved Dev Rathod.
A man feared by businessmen, politicians… even criminals.
Rajesh angrily ran a hand through his hair before turning toward Shivani.
His expression suddenly changed.
Not softer.
Worse.
Like he had already made a decision.
Shivani’s heartbeat instantly became uneasy.
Shivani Verma (FL): “Papa…?”
Rajesh slowly pointed toward the bridal lehenga lying nearby.
Rajesh Verma (FL Father): “Get her ready.”
For a second, Shivani didn’t understand.
Then her face lost all color.
Shivani Verma (FL): “N-No…”
Meera Verma (FL Mother): “Rajesh she’s just a child!”
Rajesh Verma (FL Father): “We have NO choice!”
Shivani Verma (FL):
“Why are you doing this to me…?”
Tears instantly rolled down her cheeks.
Her voice sounded broken.
Small.
Helpless.
Rajesh Verma (FL Father): “Because this family’s respect matters more than emotions!”
Those words hurt Shivani deeply.
It felt like her heart physically cracked hearing them.
Aarav Verma (FL Younger Brother): “That’s unfair!”
Everyone looked at Aarav in surprise.
Usually he joked during serious situations.
But right now… he looked genuinely angry.
He quickly walked toward Shivani protectively.
Aarav Verma (FL Younger Brother): “Di didn’t do anything wrong!”
Rajesh Verma (FL Father): “Move aside, Aarav.”
Aarav Verma (FL Younger Brother): “No!”
Meera immediately became emotional seeing her children.
Meera Verma (FL Mother): “Please stop fighting…”
Meanwhile Shivani stood there frozen.
The heavy bridal lehenga nearby suddenly looked terrifying instead of beautiful.
A few hours ago it belonged to Aadhya.
Now it felt like chains waiting for Shivani instead.
Shivani Verma (FL): “Papa please… I’m scared…”
For one second, Rajesh’s expression softened slightly.
But then the fear of Dev Rathod returned to his mind.
And his face hardened again.
Rajesh Verma (FL Father): “Fear won’t change reality.”
The servants nervously walked toward Shivani holding the bridal outfit.
Her hands trembled badly.
Tears blurred her vision completely.
And slowly…
The bridal veil meant for her sister was placed on Shivani’s head instead.
