So it is slightly different from the prologue.

Saachi

My hands were tired and also my face was covered. I tried to struggle but to no avail. How did I put myself in this situation? I only wanted to help that old man.

Suddenly I heard the door opening as I sat on my place. The cover was removed from my face as I struggled to keep my eyes open.

"How do you know him?", The man asked me rudely. I tried to struggle my hands out of the grip of these rough ropes on my hand.

"You have a mouth to speak. Speak it out", He shouted as I jumped.

"If boss himself came here He won't talk this sweetly with you", He said as my eyes widened. Was he talking sweetly to me? Than what will his boss do?

"I asked you something bitch", He said and was about to pull my hair when I heard the door opening.

"Did I allowed you to touch her", I heard a husky voice as I struggled to get away with this man.

"Boss I was just trying to make her speak", The man standing in front of me stuttered.

"Were you making her speak or trying to force yourself on her", The husky voice male said as my eyes widened.

"I am...am sorr. sorry ...boss", He said. The next moment a tight slap landed on his cheek making me gasp.

"Though she was wrong but you can't touch her", The man said whose back was facing me now as I gulped. He threw the other man out of the room and than locked the door.

"So What were you doing there?", He asked having his back facing me.

"Don't try to act smart", He ordered as he took out a knife from his pocket. He didn't even show his face once but his body reflected dominance and danger.

"I am not acting smart. I am smart by birth", I told him. I than covered my mouth. What is wrong with you Saachi? You never behave like this. I saw his shoulder tensing which meant I was in trouble.

"Name?", He said.

"What?", I asked him feeling stupid conversing with my kidnapper.

"Your name stupid?", He said being irritated.

"Saachi", I told him as he turned to me immediately. He looked at my face with a blank look.

"What? Didn't like my name? Please don't kill me because of that. I was just helping that old man. He was wounded", I said in one breathe.

"Who told you I am killing you", He smirked.

"I don't expect my kidnapper to marry me, No?", I asked him as he smirked more darkly making me shiver. What is wrong with him?

"See I don't think you want money or something like that. I have nothing else to give you", I told him. What is this happening? I should have listen to Kabir he asked me to be extra conscious.

"I didn't want anything from you", He said as I breathed out finally.

"But now I want something", He said as my eyes widened.

"I won't give you anything", I said hiding my self with my dupatta which was made of net. He raised his eye brow looking at me. He looked amused. I myself was shocked with my questionable behavior. Why I am acting this stupid?

The next moment he threw me on his shoulder. The place looked like some 18th century palace and soon he covered my eyes with a blindfold as he made me sit in his car forcefully. I tried to struggle but couldn't come out of his grip.

The car came to a stop and he picked up again. It was like I weighed nothing. What the hell is wrong with this person? Is he going to throw me from a tall building or something. I am not ready to die this soon.

"Please leave me", I said as I struggled.

"Shut up otherwise I would push you down", He said as I shut my mouth immediately.

He threw me in another room. I landed on a soft surface may be a bed. He removed the blind fold from my eyes. I looked in his eyes and gasped softly. The same grey eyes! I was dreaming about whole my life.

"Change in this", He said throwing a red lehenga towards me which was really heavy I might add. Than some girls came inside and started making me wear heavy jewelry. Than started doing my make up. What is this happening with me? Even if I was a princess I never wore this heavy clothes. They covered my eyes. I asked them to let me go but they didn't listen to me and the next moment I felt something cold on my hands.

"What are you doing?", I asked.

"Please sit silently. Boss gave us strict order to tie you if you struggle more", One of the girl said. Why tie? I am not doing anything. Than I felt the same coldness on my feet but chose to stay silent. They weren't even allowing me to move and top of it this heavy dress was making my shoulders hurt.

After about five to six hours of this torture. They removed these things from my hand and feet. Was it henna? But why would they put henna on my body. Is this a new way to torture someone.

I was so tired that I fall asleep. I guess I did slept for 6 to 7 hours when I woke up. They combed my hair and covered my head with the veil. 

I was kidnapped right than why was I getting ready like this. After all the hair and make up touch up some other person came who hold my wrist in a tight grip. I hissed a little.

I don't know what really happened after that my eyes were covered with a black cloth.

What is this happening? The thing I heard was a pandit ji saying different mantras which confused me more badly. I was in someone's arms most of the time or sitting on the floor.

Will they let me go after this all things? Are they doing Durga Puja or what.

After everything was finally done I was picked up bridal style. Wait bridal? Red lehenga, Heavy jewelry, That cold thing was definitely  henna. What the hell just happen?

Did I just married someone or more like forced to marry someone just because I helped an old man. I started struggling in his arms whoever was holding me.

I didn't even realize I was thrown on a soft surface. I tried to open the cloth tied on my eyes but it was too tight. He helped me in opening it.

I opened my eyes to find myself in a dark room with the grey eyed monster in front of me.

The only words escaped my mouth were

"Kanha Help Me"

He smirked evilly. 

"How are you feeling?", He asked as I looked at myself. I was in a red lehenga with heavy jewelry. Waist chain, dark henna adoring my hands and feet. I gulped. He married me without my permission. How dare he? 

"Why did you do this with me?", I asked him as tears started forming in my eyes.

"Are you going to cry?", He asked as I shook my head.

"Your nose is red", He pointed out as I slapped his hand away from my face.

"I want to go home", I told him.

"This is your home", He said blankly as I glared at him. Probably the first time I glared at a person.

"You don't know who my father is? If he found out you kidnapped me, he would punish you", I told him as he looked at me for a while as if I was kidding you.

"Saachi Pratap Singh, the only and eldest daughter of King Ekansh Pratap Singh and Queen Aadya Pratap Singh", He said as my eyes widened.

"I was helping that man. I was not doing any bad thing. It is written in Ramayana and Mahabharata that we should help people. Than god will help us when we need him", I told him as he shook his head.

"God never helps people when they need them and don't talk about him in front of me", he said in a calm voice. I have never seen a person this calm in my whole life. I am trying my best to irritate him so he take a decision in haste but he is not reacting.

I pouted what should I do now.

"You are my bride now and you are going to stay with me", He said more like stated.

"Do you marry every girl who you think did something bad", I asked him as he raised his eyebrows.

"Why would you say that", He asked tucking some hair strand behind my ear making me blush. This was too much. This never happened with me. Nobody touched me like this. Nobody looked at me with this much intensity in his eyes. This is wrong. God, I am thinking bad things. Please forgive me.

"Because you married me for helping an old man who was bad according to you", I explained to him looking at my henna covered hands.

"He was actually very bad. He killed people", He told me as I gasped.

"But he looked nothing like a killer", I wondered. He shook his head.

"Looks are deceptive", He said as I nodded.

"Now little girl we are married", He told me. I looked down.

"Am I your only wife", I asked him hesitating a bit. He made me look up in his eyes.

"One and only", He said as he looked in my eyes as if reading my soul. I pushed him immediately running towards the door. I opened it and ran outside holding the lehenga a bit up. Where should I go? I looked around but it seemed like this place was a maze.

Where am I struck? Saachi run just run. You would reach somewhere at last. I thought before starting running again. These bangles were making too much noise. And these anklets were also not helping a bit. Pitaji! I am so sorry. I should've been careful.

But I am married. Should I act like this with my husband.

But he married me forcefully. Kanha please show me the right path. I saw the staircase as I ran downstairs. I at last reached to the giant wooden doors to leave this hell. But they were too heavy for me.

"Please please please open", I prayed pulling the door handle but it was not even moving. I took a step back before looking around to find any other escape. 

Those windows! They are big enough for me. I was about to run towards when the beast himself came in front of me. What should I do now?

"Don't you dare to try this again", He told me calmly as he started taking slow steps towards me. I shook my head. This was not how it was meant to be.

I was to help Arjun and go back home. I took another step back and realized I was stuck between him and the wall.

"Done?", He asked as I looked confused.

"Welcome to your cage Saachi", He said as he practically threw me on his shoulder and started moving towards the majestic stairs. I felt like I entered in the set of Beauty and the Beast. I started hitting his back trying to free myself.

"You really think you are affecting me. I have endured worse than this", He said as I thought for a while. Who hit him? Was he in pain? This thought made me stop.

Stop thinking this rubbish Saachi. You are in trouble because of this thing only. Stop thinking about the beast when he is hell bent on making your life a living hell.

You can't live your life with him in his hell.

But for a wife staying beside her husband is the biggest paradise. What am I saying? I am going crazy. Kanha please help me. Can't this man feel how heavy I am. I am not a doll for god sake.

Finally the beauty married the beast.
