"Are you mad Nandini??What is deal and all?" Raman shouted at Nandini who stood not affected.

"What drama is this, Raman?" Srikanth asked glaring at Nandini. Raman sighed looking at Nandini and them, he got a call from Malhotra regarding this deal which Nandini made with Manik. She wants all to sign it, and accept it.

"Yes, your daughter is proving she is a greedy one. Huh??for money acts like loving my son now, I didn't accept. She trapped Manik, how disgusting." Mohini said angrily, all stood silent except Navya and Pihu who stood in confusion regarding this deal. They both understand something running in her mind.

"Yes, I am greedy. But correction, I am not greedy like you for money,mam. I am greedy for my self respect and dignity, which I don't want to spoil by your family.'' She said in confidence, which shocked others, Arya made an 'I am impressed face', and Navya and Pihu had a smile. Cabir stood silent, absorbing all.

"Nandini, please..." Raman whispered, making her feel bad for him. But she is going to give her life in this family, she is not going to let them suppress her down. She took a deep breath and looked at them,"It you people who came to my home and asked for marriage so if the marriage should happen sign it or you guys can stop this marriage. I will happily go." She smirked looking at all.

"So smart game you're playing." Raj said strictly, she just shrugged her shoulders. Raj took the documents and was about to sign it.

"Raj, don't do it. This arrogant girl we don't need." Neyonika said strictly, Raj jerked her hands and signed it, and gave it to Ronit who signed it too.

"I don't know why you two are doing this. My Manik deserves the best." Pavitra said angrily, Nandini rolled her eyes.

"Finally someone will think about me." Pavitra stiffen hearing Manik's voice, Nandini turned to see Manik walking in suit as usual with a strict face.

"Does he sleep in a suit too?" Nandini thought, straightening herself when Manik stood near her.

"No Manik, this girl..." Pavitra stammered, glaring at Nandini.

"I know this, she is going to get my Share of this Malhotra's, Mrs.Malhotra. don't worry about yours." He said sarcastically, pointing at the papers, Pavitra sighed in anger and signed the papers. Srikanth, Neyonika and Mohini did too.

"Enough.." Neyonika asked Nandini angrily.

"Of Course soon to be mother in law. If I need something, surely I will ask you." Her words irritated Neyonika who walked away angrily with Pavitra behind.

"Raman, marriage is next week. So get all ready." Raj said, eyeing at Manik who stood straight with a strict face.

"Sure sir....a Nandini, let's leave." He said to Nandini who nodded, walked out glancing at manik.

"Are you happy now? Getting insulted by that girl." Srikanth shouted when Raman and Nandini walked out.

"I thought you came out that phase Manik, don't repeat the mistake. We are Malhotra's." He said angrily, Manik rolled his eyes.

"But I am actually dying for everyone here right. When did you start considering me as family?" He asked sarcastically, eyeing Srikanth, Raj and Ronit.

"Manik.." Ronit was about to speak but stopped when Manik glared at him.

"Don't dig past, you will face the worst side of me. I am no longer your puppy who is stuck under your leg. It's my life, I know what to do. I won't let you all control my life again." He said angrily and walked out.

"It's going over the limit Raj." Ronit said, looking at Manik back.

"He is nowhere going to listen to us now." Srikanth said sarcastically sitting on the couch in anger. Raj stood silent thinking something.

"What are you thinking bro?" Ronit asked, Raj smirked looking at them, "We can use this girl to control Manik."

"How.??" Srikanth asked, Raj just smirked which indicated something evil inside his mind.

Days went by, shopping, getting things for marriage. Raman was a busy person in it, who did everything according to Nandini and Malhotra's wishes. Manik was helping him from behind not directly, as he knew Malhotra's will never get involved in it. Malhotra's never act like marriage taking place in their house, just infront media they use to act. Shravan was getting so depressed which Mohini use as tool filling all negative things inside his mind, but Naina somewhere helping him too.

One soul is suck between this, being whole days in her room thinking her life. Only few days her life totally will change not according to her wish, but she forced to choose this. Dhruv and Aliya came to meet her and said plans for running away but Nandini refused it and said she was going to marry Manik, which shocked them. They asked why but she refused to say it. She don't want to involve both into this mess, as still now she can't predict now much long this Malhotra's can go. But all she got to know is, Malhotra's for mk ey, powers can do anything.

"Mam, name of your future husband?" Nandini trance broken and looked at the mehndi designer who decorated her both hands and leg into different designs.

"Jerk.. Sorry..M..Manik Malhotra." She said looking away from that girl who gave a weird look. Navya and Pihu giggled.

"Jerk Aah??" Pihu teased, she smirked.

"Completed mam." Nandini nodded at her, and turned to Navya and Pihu who filled their hands.

"Are you sure??You want this life." Navya asked, looking around to see if anyone heard it.

Nandini nodded,"If it is written in my fate, it should happen right." She said, looking down her hand.

"I understand we can't change our fate. But don't worry we will be there for you." Pihu said smiling, Nandini smiled, nodded no.

"No, I don't want you both to get into my problem. It's my life I will take care of Malhotra alone." She said strongly, made both smile.

"I know at least for the time being I could help you." Navya said, giving a bitter smile. Nandini frown.

"What??Why are you saying that??"

"Because she only going to be on Malhotra's for hardly 9 months." Pihu said giving a sad smile, Nandini looked at Navya who was facing sadness.

"My and Cabir marriage is a deal for three years. He married for his company's growth, I thought I could get happiness or a wife role in his life. But he and his family treated me like a servant alone. To be frank, I will pleasure him in bed and act like his wife in front of the media and world, that is." Navya said controlling her tears, Nandini was shocked as she never know even sons of devil be this cruel

" Did he force you??" She stammered, Navya nodded no.

"Unfortunately my heart fell for him, at least he was a gentleman in that. So no.." Navya said, whipping her with back hand. Nandini felt bad, thinking about it. She turned to Pihu

"Even my life like this, but unlike her, Aryaman forced me to marry him for his so called love and obsession. Me being a rich girl, unfortunately Malhotra accepted me. But they are treated the same as Navya. I can't escape from this marriage Nandini.mi wish I could." Pihu ssid in gritting her teeth in anger.

"So only we said, Manik is more cruel unlike his brother. We don't want you to get hurt." Navya said.

"Now it's up to you, decide what you want." Pihu said, sending the mehndi designer away, and stood up.

Both walked away, leaving Nandini in a pool of thoughts. She can't decide anything now, even Manik being a mystery to her. Somewhere she doesn't want to step back from thie, first her father is the reason who will lose his job, another is she wants to face this family for her work, which Mia assigned for her, last is Manik, who definitely did not let her go from this marriage. She wants to know why he is ready to marry her, after knowing she loved his brother. All confusing her mind.

Days passed and all functions taking place in Malhotra mansion, Nandini noticed the cool war between Manik and Malhotra's which made her conscious. Manik definitely their son, elder heir but why is his own mother being so cold to him, even him. She never saw him calling anyone with respect, only address them as Mr. Or Mrs. Malhotra. She asked Navya and Pihu, who themselves don't know about it, said he was away from this family even before they came into this family. Nandini thought to find that First.

"Tide, mangalsutra and fill bride forehead with vermillion." Panditji said, Nandini tightened her hands around her red lehengas, when she felt a cold in her neck, vermilion fell on her nose.

(Some serious decision going on😌😍😍😍 their marriage dress)

"Both become husband and wife. Get elders blessings." Panditji said, completing the
marriage. Made Nandini realise she finally became the bride of Malhotra's, no longer Nandini Murthy. She is Nandini Manik Malhotra now. Both stood up, Nandini took blessings from her father, Manik just shook his hands with him. Manik didn't go near Malhotra's at all, but walked for Nandini as their knot was tied together.

"Won't you all bless us.' Nandini asked smirking, which they all ignored

"Nandini lets leave." Manik said, ignoring them. Nandini pouted, just hugged Navya and Pihu who gave a pity smile. She ignored both Naina and Shravan who stood silent. She wants to speak to Naina but she thinks it's not the right time .

"Don't get angry unnecessarily, be quiet, listen to them. Please be a good Nandini." Raman gave lengthy advice to Nandini which she ignored as she know she not going to follow anything

"Fine Papa..bye.." she said, controlling her tears, and hugged him. And moved to her brother, hugged him tightly.

"I will miss someone to wake up, drive to work, Bunny." Abhi said emotionally, which made her cry more.

"Don't make me cry, I will look bad." She said pouting, which made both chuckled. Abhi whipped her tears and turned to Manik who stood silently looking away from it.

"Don't dare to hurt my sister, I won't be silent." Abhi warned Manik who chuckled.

"Let's see.." he said held Nandini hands and pulled her away from there. Nandini turned and waved bye at both, who in tears waved back.

Both sat in a manik's car, and the driver started the car. Nandini whipped her tears secretly not showing her weak side to Manik. He just got busy with a phone call which revealed her. Malhotra's already left in another car to the mansion. Soon the car reached the mansion, Nandini frowned when Manik got out and went inside alone.

"Stupid jerk.." she got down herself balancing her lehenga, walked inside to see empty hall. She let out a sarcastic smile, and she expected them to receive the new bride with a smile. She ignored and asked the servant for the Manik room, and walked to his room, opening the door with bang.

She walked in to see Manik standing in his casuals, glanced at her,"What is this??Why did you leave me in the car alone?" She asked angrily.

"Don't raise your voice at me." He said strictly, made her roll her eyes.

"Oh please, Manik Malhotra, I asked you something..i am your wife now...I.." Nandini's words stopped when she was pinned into a nearby wall by a hard pull.

"Don't dare to raise your voice at me." He shouted louder at her face and made her flinch back in fear.

She looked at his face which so near her face, his face so red, even red, burning a hole in her face,"You are my wife only to world, not inside this four world, did you get it, MRS.MANIK MALHOTRA, DON'T DARE TO DREAM YOU BECOME MY WIFE SO CAN DO ANYTHING. DON'T FORGET YOUR PLACE." He said pushing her on the floor harshly, which made her bangles broken and stabbed inside her hands, made her eyes tear, but his words were more shocking.

"YOUR PLACE IN MY ROOM, DON'T FORGET IT." He said angrily and walked our banging the door behind leaving, tears Nandini on floor, who sat numb
