Selflessness has it limit.

Love has it limit.

Care has it limit.

Tolerance has it limit.

Patience has it limit.

And Khushi Kumari Gupta had had enough of her parent's upbringing being questioned by a man with questionable parent.

Enough of the hypocritical family she is married into and enough of her own family

All her life since her parent died the only love she has ever had without terms and conditions was that of Shashi Gupta.

She had to slave together with Shashi to put food on the table, pay for bills and take care of the house while Payal the Anjali of the Gupta family did nothing but sit home all day.

Payal who wasn't that academically smart was allowed to go to school while she had to help Shashi at the shop and Shashi not wanting this was against it but was met with taunts and hostility from his wife and sister who ended up taking it out on Khushi when he stands up for her.

Shashi then secretly hired a tutor to come and teach Khushi at the shop and registered her for exams when the time came.

All this came with a condition that no one was to know and she was to pretend to be an illiterate.

Even though Khushi was hurt hearing the condition, she understood it was for her own good and to protect her from them.

All Khushi wanted in life was to be happy and find her prince Charming whom she didn't care whether he was  rich or poor as long as he loved her unconditionally.

But here is stuck with a monster who locked her up in a dark room after a misunderstanding, manhandled her on countless occasions, maligned her character countless times, nearly killed her on not one occasion but twice, forced her into marriage which lead to her being this disowned and humiliated.

She never thought one man could give her the worst pain of her entire life.

And six days ago she finally found out about the real reason behind the contract marriage and his insensitivity behavior after their marriage.

Mami taunting her every single chance she gets forgetting she was a common maid who used her charm to trap her boss's son.

And just when she thought it couldn't get worse she found out she was a scapegoat for his sister Anjali and the betrayal of the man she once considered a good friend.

But enough is enough, they are all about to to face her wrath.

And a wrath of a woman who had had enough is more deadly than anything on earth and Khushi is about to unleash her wrath on each and everyone who was directly and indirectly responsible for her pain.

**************************

Khushi sat in the dining room together with the entire Raizada, Jha and Gupta family but what was in front of her was such a shocking scene that Shashi was shocked beyond the word shocked.

The entire family with the exception of Nk, Khushi and Shashi were the only one conscious while the others have fallen unconscious after taking a few bite out of the food Khushi prepared as a peace food after the recent tension in the family.

Shashi looked at his daughter who was sipping on some tea as if she didn't just make all these people unconscious with whatever she had put in the food.

Hari Prakash entered and smiled seeing them which shocked Shashi.

"Khushi bhabhi...... What should I do now? " Hari Prakash asked with respect.

Khushi sighed and stood up and so did Nk.

"Tie all of them up and make sure they won't break free. " Khushi said and HP nodded and run out to bring ropes.

Nk looked at her good friend and the girl he had fallen in love with at first sight and remembering everything he discovered made him want to kill all those responsible.

"Don't worry Khushi...... They will all soon pay dearly and as for Arnav's accomplices am sure the police are on their way to arrest them and thank God that corrupt police commissioner has been replaced by an honest one. " Nk said to Khushi who nodded.

She moved over to Shashi and pulled a chair and sat in front of him.

"Babuji...... I know you are worrying why I did this....... " Khushi asked and Shashi slightly nodded. "These people are the reason for my pain babuji...... With your sister and wife you already know what they did to me but I will tell you what each and everyone did to make me do this...... Don't worry they are not dead..... They will wake up in a few minutes which is enough to tell you what they did to me. "

Khushi stood up and moved to an unconscious and now tied up Arnav.

"This man Arnav Singh Raizada known to the world as ASR is nothing but I monster and narcissistic man....... He forced me to marry him or else he will ask Akash to break Payal's marriage and I couldn't let that happen so I agreed. " Khushi cried and tears began rolling down the cheeks of Shashi. "You already know what happened afterwards...... And as if that wasn't enough..... He made me sleep outside in the cold from the beginning of our marriage until now and do you why babuji..... It because he heard me tell Shyam who had cornered me to divorce Anjali and he didn't bother to stay and hear the rest and assumed I was having an affair with Shyam........ To save his so called two faced di...... He forced me into marriage and verbally, physically and psychologically tortured me to break me...... And I found out about this when we came to Laxmi Nagar. " Khushi revealed and Shashi was shocked.

Hari Prakash and Nk had tears in their eyes hearing the pain in her voice as she spoke.

"The day we left Laxmi Nagar was the day I found out the reason behind his force marriage...... And as if that wasn't enough I found out the following day that Anjali knows about Shyam on the day of Payal's wedding and kept quiet. " Khushi revealed shocking Shashi who looked at an unconscious Anjali.

Flashback.

Arnav left for work the following day after his usual round of insult of Khushi and Khushi after an earful of taunts by Mami left the house to get some fresh air.

She entered RM using the door used by the garbage disposal service because she didn't want to be seen.

She saw Hari Prakash throwing away garbage and greeted him.

"Hari Prakashji..... How are you and your mother...... I heard you left to take care of her because she was sick. ? " Khushi asked.

"Am fine and she is also fine........ My contract ends in eight days so am just here to finish up and leave. " Hari Prakash revealed shocking Khushi.

"Oh.... Okay..... I wish you all the best afterwards." Khushi said and HP nodded. "Is the family in? " Khushi asked confusing HP but he replied.

"When I came Mami and Nani left to visit a friend and Anjaliji just arrived from the temple. "

"Oh okay. " Khushi said and left.

She was on her way to the room when she heard a two familiar voice and moved closer but what she heard shocked and halted her in her step.

"ASR forced Khushi to marry him because he thinks Khushi is having an affair with your husband and you and I know it's not true...... You have to tell the family the truth because ASR is hurting Khushi. " Aman said.

"I can't Aman..... How will I tell them...... I felt suspicious of the way the Guptas were hostile towards Shyam and made you investigate him and I got the report of how he saved Khushi from the goons who harassed Khushi because of the video chote released and he stalked her to Laxmi Nagar and pretended he was a bachelor and an orphan and played the Guptas by using  Shashi to blackmail Khushi to marry but she found him out and broke the engagement and he has been harassing her since...... Well I can't........ Chote will kick him out and my child will become fatherless....... Chote will fell guilty and will dedicate his entire life and time pacifying Khushi and I will be left alone. " Anjali cried and Aman looked at her shocked.

"Are you crazy...... You still want to stay with Shyam because of your baby and Arnav should continue hurting Khushi until their contract marriage is over. " Aman asked in shock but what Anjali said next broke Khushi's heart.

"Yes Aman..... It's better that way...... If Khushi leaves then I will expose Shyam and have him arrested........ With her absence chote will only focus on me and no one else....... I need my brother..... So please Aman please don't tell anyone...... Let Khushi suffer and leave...... If you really love me then you will do as I say. " Anjali said and Aman was shocked.

"How do you know? " Aman asked and Anjali smiled.

"I see the way you look at me all the time and how you make excuses to come here just to get a glimpse of me........ Keep our secret and let Khushi leave and after that we expose Shyam and he is out of our lives and then we will get married....... And think of the opportunity and privilege that you will get being my husband and the son in law of the Raizada family. " Anjali said and smirked seeing Aman thinking.

Aman looked at her and knew she was right because not only will he marry the woman he loves, he will also be able to live in luxury as the husband of Anjali.

"Okay...... Deal..... It's only left with a few days until their marriage contract ends and we will kick Shyam out and be together. " Aman said with greed glittering in his eyes and Anjali smiled and kissed him passionately and he also reciprocated.

Khushi run away from there into the garden in tears only to pump into Nk who had just returned from Australia. Khushi hugged him and cried in his arms.

He was shocked seeing Khushi crying uncontrollably and he reciprocated the hug.

After a few minutes he broke the hug and looked at her.

"Khushiji..... What wrong?...... Why are you crying. " Nk asked with concern but a voice behind answered instead of Khushi.

"This happen Nkji. " HP said and handed his phone to Nk and what he saw shocked him.

Khushi was equally shocked seeing a video of what she heard on HP's phone.

"I happen to be there when those two vulgar people was saying this. " Pointing to the video. "Khushiji doesn't deserve this..... These people are monsters who don't deserve her Nkji....... Mami taunts her every chance she gets and all Nani could ever do is say " Stop it Manu....... I thank God my contract ends in a few days and I can finally get out of this hell people think is paradise." HP said in disgust.

Nk moved closer to Khushi who has this menacing look in her eyes which scared HP and Nk.

"They will all pay..... I will make all of them pay for what they did to me...... From Arnav, Mami, Anjali, Payal, Akash, Aman, Nani and Mr Roy...... I want all of them to pay...... I will drag them to jail and make them wish they were never born...... For that I will need all the evidence I can get....... With Arnav, Aman and Mr Roy, the CCTV cameras at the temple, AR and here will seal his fate for good...... This video from Hari Prakash will seal Anjali's fate when every news outlets get it....... For Mami, domestic abuse charge against her will ruin her so called reputation for good and Akash will cry seeing his mother arrested and jailed and as for Payal, for all the taunt she threw at me all this months, seeing her marriage crumble to the ground will be her punishment and as for Nani, seeing her family destroyed will be her fate....... " Khushi said with rage.

"I have something else to seal Shyam's fate from good." Nk said and Khushi looked at him. "I was going through the wedding videos and I saw this. " He then took out a laptop from his bag and opened it and showed Khushi a video.

It was the video of Shyam's confession and Khushi smiled seeing the evidence to her innocence.

"All we need to to find a way to get the original footages and send it to the police commissioner and he happens to be a good friend of my father...... My parent will helped us hire a good lawyer to handle the case. " Nk revealed.

"Khushiji please count me in for anything you need because you are the only person in this house who treats me like a human being and please don't deny me because watching such injustice and staying silent make me an equal accomplice. " HP said and Khushi nodded with a smile.

Flash backs ends.

"With much difficulty and advice from a lawyer, we were able to get the CCTV footage from AR, here and the temple and presented it to the police commissioner who is a good friend to Nk's father and he immediately started working on the arrest warrants for Aman, Mr Roy who were witness to my forced marriage and Arnav and Mami for domestic abuse. " Khushi revealed.

Shashi was shocked hearing all of this and any sympathy he had to them was out of the door.

He started fidgeting in his wheel chair wanting to tell them about Shyam's attempted murder on his life.

Khushi saw this but was confused and Nk figured out he wanted to say something and rushed to his room for a pen and paper.

He come back and gave it to Shashi who wrote something down on the book and Khushi read it and was shocked seeing this.

She turned to an unconscious Shyam and looked at him with venom.

"You will pay dearly for this...... That I promise you. "
