Raj was in the waiting area when Ruby's father arrived with a lawyer. Doctor had stiched up Ruby but the sedatives didn't wash off yet so no body could meet her yet.

"What did you do to my daughter? You monster!" Ruby's father dramatically attacked Raj.

"I'm really sorry sir. I truly am. I didn't mean to hurt her it just ... I lost control. It's my fault and I'll do anything to bri..." Raj was cut off by the lawyer.

"Well, you don't have any other option. If we file a case you'd be charged with domestic voilence and marital rape. That's either lifetime of jail or capital punishment." The lawyer raised his glasses only to look at Raj who was very pale by then.

"So, I'd suggest you do as my client says. The wounds on the girl's body are enough evidence and her statement along with the wounds would be more than enough to ruin your life."

"What are you trying to imply? What's even going on here?" A bewildered Raj asked astonishes and unable to understand what they wanted.

"Your house." The father said, wiping his crocodile tears. "We want you to give your house and the diamonds your father owned, they're around 10 crores in worth. We can either have the diamonds or cash."

"We will not file any case and you can have the girl too. We don't mind. She's your wife after all."

Raj was done listening. "Get out" he shouted. "Go file the case."

"Get the fuck out of my glance."

"You'll regret this." The lawyer said. "I'm going to build a very strong case against you." He threatened.

"Leave before I do worse with you than Ruby." He shouted again.

"This is hospital sir, not a place to solve your family disputes. Keep your volume down or I'll have to take all of you out." A nurse said in a very polite tone. Raj nodded while the father and lawyer left but not before threatening to return stronger.

It took Raj a few good minutes to understand what just happened and than he did what he thought was best in this situation.

He called his best friend.

"Woww, so you got time to remember me now?" A young voice responded the phone immediately.

"Babe, this isn't the right time for complains. I need help." He grabbed his hair and tucked on them in frustration.

"Ohh, so now there's going to be right and wrong times in the life of our Daddy's boy." The girl responded with a chuckle.

"Huma, Dad died in a car accident three months ago and I'm married to the girl he wanted and you despised all along." He said in a voice full of grief.

"Wait ... Oh God. I'm so sorry Raj. Where are you right now?" She asked in a concerned tone.

"Hospital" was his only reply.

"What? Are you alright? Fuck!!! I told you so many times your father is pulling you into the same black world and you never trusted me. He was running something illegal...something that had to do with human trafficking, when will you believe me?" Huma blabbered in worry and frustration.

"I believe you Huma." He almost cried.

"I do." A sigh left his mouth. "But I'm scared it's too late now. I'm stuck."

"Relax, and tell me what happened?" Huma's calm voice had a soothing effect on him.

"Dad died in a car accident. He left crazy fortune for me. Even if I don't work, my generations can sit back and enjoy a luxurious lifestyle." He began.

"You already know he picked a poor girl for me out of sympathy. I always thought she was innocent and father wanted to give her a better life. I trued to explain to him that we can give her a better life without associating her with me but he was hell bent on getting that girl in our house as my wife." Raj sat on one of the chairs in the waiting area.

"I thought she is very innocent and deserves a good life but never agreed on marrying her. I found her attractive, yes ... anyone would..but she's something else....Huma...trust me." His voice broke at the end.

"I saw her videos with another man, enjoying rough sex. I saw him doing things to her... I never would have married her but my father made me promise that I'll marry her as his dying wish so I had to. I had to marry a filthy, unfaithful...cunning lady into my life." He took a pause, he needed to hear her before he continued.

"No matter how much I despise your father but one thing is very sure that he loved you  and always wanted the best for you. The video could be fake."  Huma responded after a long silence.

"I let an expert analyze the video for any editing. Apart from a few filters and a few extra moans... Nothing's added to the video. The graphics and actions in the video are as real as seeing with the naked eye." Raj explained.

"Did you talk to her? Someone could have forced to do it." The reply came.

"You wouldn't think that if you saw the video. She was thoroughly enjoying it. Anyhow, that's not my major concern right now." Huma could hear the anger and hurt of betrayal in his voice.

"The problem right now is that I'm charged with domestic voilence, marital rape and sexual assault." Raj carefully said.

"I'm going to break every bone in your body and feed your flesh to the dogs if even a single of these words is true." Huma silenced him in anger.

"She seduced me to have sex with her." He tried to explain his actions.

"Don't tell me that's your petty excuse for voilating a woman."

"Okay fine. I'll give you facts and you tell me what I did." Raj Surrendered.

"Did you fall into her seduction and had sex with her?"

"Yes, I tried."

"Did you purposely hurt her?"

"No"

"Were you rough when you entered her?"

"Now that's a trick question. Yes, for a virgin and no for someone who is used to having sex."

"You're being rediculus Raj." She exclaimed.

"Fine. I was really rough and it caused her three stitches." He admitted.

"Fuck... Raj... you're wild and crazy. You son of a bitch and you're saying you're the one who's stuck." Huma was angry as hell.

"His so called father was here with all the allegations and he asked me for some diamonds that my father owned . Huma...trust me they did it on purpose...first made me believe she's not a virgin and than seduced me. Trust me...please." Raj almost pleaded.

"Whatever reason... you're in deep shit." Huma was worried too. "First thing first, go see a doctor and ask them to examine your body for any sign of injury/hurt or resistance. Keep the report and I'll see you in an hour." Huma didn't wait for a reply and cut the call.

Two days later

"So you're basically saying that she had breast and ass implants when she was a teenager?" Raj asked unsure of how to respond to the newly found information.

"And she had hymenoplasty multiple times." Huma repeated.

"Hymenoplasty?" Raj inquired.

"The doctor put artificial hymen in her so the person having sex with her could be tricked into the lie that she's a virgin."

"Oh God, so all of those videos were real and it wasn't my fault that she's hurt." Raj fisted his hair.

"That's debatable" Huma responded. "No matter how many times she had sex or surgery, it was her first time with you and it is your responsibility if she's hurt."

"But you don't understand." Raj almost shouted. "It was all a trick to put me in this situation."

"No doubt." Huma exclaimed. "And..." She dragged. "You were stupid enough to fall for it."

"Are you for real?" Raj was shocked.

"No matter how many proves you provide that she had surgeries to be attractive and relive her virginity. We can't deny the fact that she had three stitches up her vagina because of your penis." Huma retorted.

"So you're saying I should agree to their terms?"

"No, I'm saying the only way out is that your wife testifies in your favor."

"And why would she do that?"

"That's for you to find out. Money...seems like a good reason."

"So you're saying the same thing. Instead of giving money to her parents I should bribe her? I'm not a fucking criminal." Raj was furious now.

"But I am." Ruby entered the meeting room, limping. Her walk was an evidence that she had suffered.

"I put you in this situation and I will get you out of it. All you have to do is get me out of their hands. I owe them loads of money and they make me do horrendous things. I want out." Ruby bargained.

"So you want me to pay your debt?" Raj inquired.

"I want you to keep me as your wife and protect me until I get in contact with my real family and manage to get out of  town, once and forever."

"Oh...so you're the innocent victim here who was kidnapped at 8 or raped at 16 and abducted? You need security now?" He lashed out but Huma grabbed him by his arm.

"You have yourself a deal Ruby." Huma sponded in a firm tone.

"No, you can't take decisions on my behalf." Raj warned.

"Except that I can." She fired daggers with her eyes.

"Ok...call the inspector. I'm ready to testify." Ruby said and went out the same way she came in.
