Switzerland:

This city, known as the paradise of the world, is very attractive. Everyone says that the mind gets a different kind of peace in the valleys here.

A city of beauty often makes the atmosphere pleasant. The strong cold winds there give a different feeling. And on the other hand, the deserted roads covered with dry leaves echo with the voices of humans.

In such cold weather, a heart-soothing breeze touches our bodies.

A girl wearing a black jacket is walking on a path. Her body is fair and soft like silk, her silky long shiny glossy hair gives a different glow. Her eyes are like the sun shining in the daylight and her smile is like flowers blooming in the valleys.

She is repeatedly rubbing her hands together and applying them to her face. But it seems as if she is feeling warm in the cold weather. Even this cold day is not having any effect on her beauty.

...Let me introduce you to the female lead of our story, the one and only Rishika Kapoor....

Today she is going to a five-star hotel in Switzerland booked for her first date with Ahaan.

Suddenly her black Range Rover stops in the middle of the road and her bodyguards come out. Then she took herself out of the car to a five-star hotel located at a distance of 12 kilometres outside the city. She sets out on foot to go there because she loves traveling on deserted roads. She likes to live in a peaceful environment since childhood. While enjoying the cold she is moving ahead towards her destination.

She has lived beautiful 19 years of her life. While imagining her and Ahaan's first date, her walking speed fastens up; so, that she can reach that hotel quickly to not miss out her first date.

Then a boy coming from the other side goes near her and hits Rishika's shoulder and falls on the ground. Rishika gets shocked watching the boy falling down.

That boy looks like in his early 22ⁿᵈ's, even his personality seems very admirable. He looks no less than a film hero.

Surely Rishika has never seen such a handsome boy before. The boy is wearing a navy blue colored sweater and white colored pants.

He has kept one of his hands on his stomach because he is bleeding continuously and there is a lot of injury on his body.

Rishika:- “Excuse me sir! Are you okay??” 😦

Rishika bends down near the boy.

Rishika:- “Oh God! You are really hurt. Wait here, I will call someone right now.”😨😨

The boy is barely able to open his eyes. His face is withered due to excessive bleeding.

He shakes his head no in irritation and with a cold dominant voice he says.

Unknown:- “No, some people are following me..” ❄️❄️❄️

At that very moment Rishika hears the sound of fast moving footsteps and at the same time she heard someone speaking.

“Hurry up all of you, we have to kill him today okay.. Quickly find him..”

Rishika:- •While thinking in her mind•

Rishika:- «Do these people want to kill that boy?»

[Note:— •abc• – denotes action and «abc» – denotes thinking]

Rishika sees that the boy is bleeding profusely from his stomach. And she takes out a pink colored rayon type man size hankie from her pocket. Then somehow she ties it around the boy's stomach to stop the bleeding. Somehow she realizes that there is someone behind her and when she turns back, she finds that 5 to 6 strong goon type burly Indian men are standing in front of her.

When the goons look at Rishika with that boy, one of them speaks up.

Goon¹:- “Hey lil girl, if you want the safety of your life, then leave from here quietly and don't you dare to tell anyone about this place otherwise, you won't even survive and hand this boy over to us..”❄️

Hearing the goon's words, Rishika starts grinning wittily while laughing, she speaks in a very overbearing yet cold voice.

Rishika:- “Uhuh!😏😏 If you consider yourself a big champion of WWE..”❄️❄️❄️

Rishika:- •Darken eyes•

Rishika:- “Then let me tell you that all of you are looking like Oggy from the cartoon character, not WWE's champion..”❄️❄️❄️

Rishika:- •Sarcastic tone•

Rishika:- You..

Just then, interrupting her, another goon man speaks.

Goon²:- Bitch, who do you think you are?💢❄️

 Goon²:- What do you mean by that?? huh‼️ 💢 ❄️

Goon²:- You have so much courage that you indirectly call our boss impotent.. 💢❄️

Rishika:- Aww felt bad!?.. But I have not only called your boss impotent instead your whole gang is impotent..❄️❄️

Rishika:- •Innocent yet not so innocent blinking eyes•

Rishika:- If you people have guts then come hit me and stop this song together plus take not only me but also this boy with you..❄️❄️☺️☺️

Goon¹:- •Lustily licking lips•

Goon¹:- You are an amazingly beautiful nymph, what will we gain by killing you??

Goon²:- After all today is our lottery day because we have got an angel who came down from heaven to celebrate the wedding night before the wedding with us..

Goon²:- What you say brothers, ain't I said right, hum??

Goon²:- In short today is the night of victory for us or not??

All Goons:- Kekekekeke.....

Rishika:- If you want to make your night so colorful then come and show me if you have the guts then just touch me..

Rishika:- Then I will personally fulfill all your wishes but if none of you can touch me then you all will have to leave this boy..

Rishika:- •Gives a challenging look•

Rishika:- Acceptable or....

Rishika:- •Intentionally prolonging words•

What will happen to our Rishika, will she be able to escape or will these goons play havoc with her? Stay tuned with me to know further more.

🌸🌺~𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖~🌺🌸

...Rishika:- “Oh, you want to make your night so colourful?... Well, come on then...”...

...Rishika:- “And if you think you have the guts, just try touching me... And if you can manage that, I'll personally fulfil all your wildest dreams...”...

...Rishika:- Gives a challenging look....

...Rishika:- (But if none of you can even touch me... Then you'll all have to leave this guy alone. So, are you in or??......

...Rishika:- Intentionally prolonging words....

The leader of the goons chimes in after hearing the challenge offered by Rishika. His face lit up with excitement, his voice dripping with anticipation.

...Goon leader:- •Rubbed his hands together, clearly thrilled at the prospect of kidnapping and theft•...

...Goon leader:- “Oh, great! Today's our lucky day, guys!.....”...

He shouted in a smirking squeal and...

...•With a cheeky - lusty smile•...

...Goon Leader:- “First, we got the girl, and now this treasure, aka the boy, is also ours....”...

His cohorts nodded eagerly, their {his men} face mirroring his excitement.

...Goon leader - “Ravi and Shyam, go get that girl and bring her here...”...

The goon leader's words were laced with a sense of entitlement as if they had every right to treat human beings like objects.

...Gooms:- “Yes, sir!”...

Ravi and Shyam chimed in unison, and both of them began to move towards Rishika. As soon as Ravi tried to touch Rishika, she...

...Rishika:- •Landed a powerful punch in his stomach, sending him crashing to the ground a few feet away, where he lay unconscious•...

...Shyam:- •Witnessing Ravi's humiliating defeat at the hands of a girl, flew into a rage and raised his hand to strike Rishika•...

Just as Shyam was about to grab Rishika's hand, she...

...Rishika:- •Swiftly delivered a crushing elbow blow to his head, sending him tumbling to the ground with a loud thud•...

The unknown boy is still lying unconscious.

...Unknown:- •Was stunned by what he had just witnessed•...

...He thought — «How can a 19-year-old girl single-handedly take down a group of heavily built bodyguards??..»...

...Unknown:- •Had been so captivated by Rishika's beauty that he hadn't even noticed the incredible feat she had just accomplished•...

What struck him as particularly remarkable was the victorious smile that still lingered on Rishika's face.

As she had taken down the goons.

...Rishika:- •Had toyed with them, effortlessly knocking them to the ground one by one•...

Until they all lay defeated.

The leader of the goons was the only one who had managed to escape unscathed as he...

...Goon Leader:- •Approached Rishika, tears streaming down his face, and begged for mercy•...

...Goon Leader:- “Sister, please forgive me, I'll never do something like this again.”...

Rishika's response was stern.

...Rishika:- “From now on, never even think that a girl is weak...”...

Her voice was firm and commanding.

...Rishika:- “Now, get the hell out of here!”...

The man scurried away, disappearing as quickly and quietly as if a donkey shedding its burden.

...Rishika:- •Turned around and walked back to the unknown boy, and what she saw made her heart skip a beat•...

The boy was no longer responding, and his blood was gushing out like water.

...Unknown guy:- •Face had turned a pale greenish hue, and his breathing seemed to be slowing down•...

...Rishika:- “Hello.... hello!!”...

...Rishika:- •Called out to the boy, but he didn't respond•...

When he didn't answer, Rishika rushed to his side and began to shake him with her trembling hands.

...Rishika:- •Tears streamed down Rishika's face, wetting her cheeks as she repeatedly asked•...

...Rishika:- “Hello? Can you hear me?”...

Rishika panicked.

...Rishika:- “Are you okay??”...

...Rishika:- •Stuttering in fear•...

...Rishika:- “You - you can't die...”...

She sobbed uncontrollably.

...Rishika:- “Please don't die!....”...

Despite her best efforts to revive him, Rishika was exhausted and tearfully begged.

...Rishika:- “Come on, wake up...!!”...

This was the first time Rishika had felt the presence of death so closely, and she was overwhelmed with fear and tears.

Then, Rishika...

...Rishika:- •Muttered to herself•...

...Rishika:- “He was fine just a little while ago, what happened suddenly??....”...

...Unknown guy:- “Stop shaking me, I'm not dead...”...

The boy whispered weakly, his lips barely moving.

...Rishika:- •Was stunned by his response•...

Rishika quickly wiped away her tears and, biting her lip, spoke in a complaining tone.

...Rishika:- “If you're alive, why didn't you say anything?..”...

...Rishika:- “You gave me a heart attack.”...

...Unknown guy:- “Just a moment ago, you took down those powerful goons with ease.”...

...Unknown guy:- “You did it while laughing, and now look at you, trembling like a wet cat…”...

The boy said in a sense of somewhat teasing yet somewhat mocking Rishika in a soft voice.

...Unknown guy:- •Eyes were still half-closed, but he could see Rishika's beautiful and delicate face•...

Rishika's eyelashes were wet with tears and fluttering like butterfly wings.

...Rishika:- “You can't stay lying here like this.”...

...Rishika:- “You've lost a lot of blood, and it's still not stopping...”...

Rishika stuttered.

...Rishika:- “I-I'll take you to the hospital right now.”...

The unknown said in half unconscious state.

...Unknown guy:- “Don't worry too much...”...

...Unknown guy:- “I'm fine, and my men are here...”...

Before Rishika could comprehend the situation, a black Range Rover stopped in the middle of the road.

The car door opened quickly, and two men got out, walking straight to the boy and bowing their heads.

...Bodyguards:- (Boss!!.....)...

Without wasting any time, the two bodyguards lifted the boy and moved forward.

...4 Years Later...

...Mumbai, India...

...St. Vincent University...

Rishika was engrossed in her music class when Ahan's call suddenly broke the silence, and she immediately picked up, hastily answering it.

...Ahaan:- 🤙🏻“Hello, wherever you are, bring new clothes for me to Room 2206 at the Imperial Hotel right now.” ❄️💢❄️...

Ahaan said, his voice sounding angry and irritated over the phone.

However, Rishika was thrilled that he had called her.

...Rishika:- •Her heart swelled with joy, and her eyes sparkled with delight•...

She was thrilled that he had reached out to her, and his call had brought a sense of excitement to her mundane day.

In the past four years, this was the first time Ahaan had initiated a call to her; otherwise, it was always Rishika who made the call.

...Rishika:- •Was well aware that the accident four years ago had drastically changed Ahaan's behaviour towards her•l...

...━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━...

..._Flashback_...

Four years ago, when she had gone to Switzerland with her and Ahaan's family for a vacation, Ahaan had proposed to her there, and she had happily accepted, saying yes with a heart full of joy.

...Rishika:- Her eyes sparkling with tears of happiness, and a smile that seemed to light up the entire atmosphere, as if the world had come to a standstill, and all that existed was the two of them, lost in the magic of that unforgettable moment....

One day same like that day, Rishika....

...Rishika:- •Was on her way to her very first date, a milestone in her life, when her car suddenly broke down, forcing her to continue on foot•...

As she walked, a boy accidentally collided with her and fell to the ground; in her attempt to help him, she....

...Rishika:- •Arrived at the hotel a staggering three hours late, her carefully planned evening now in disarray•...

As accepted, she...

...Rishika:- •Knew that Ahaan must have left by now, and that's exactly what had happened•...

When she finally arrived, Ahaan was gone, leaving Rishika to return home with a heavy heart, her...

...Rishika:- •Disappointment and sadness were palpable, like a dark cloud casting a shadow over her evening•...

When Rishika came home, she found out that after waiting for about 1 hour, Ahaan got tired and he...

...Ahaan:- Went to the hotel's park area to wait, but then his foot slipped, and he collided with a rock....

Fortunately (or unfortunately, as it would mark the beginning of bad luck in Rishika's life), Rishika's step-sister Maya was also there, standing frozen, her eyes fixed on Ahaan's crumpled form when she saw Ahaan falling.

Then, Rishika's step-sister – Maya...

...Maya:- •Rushed to his side to save him•...

But in the process of saving Ahaan, she...

...Maya:- •Fell down along with him•...

Which resulted in Ahaan being saved, but Maya...

...Maya:- •Suffered a severe head injury while trying to save him•...

As a result, both Maya and Ahaan were immediately rushed to the hospital, the sound of sirens piercing the air, their fate hanging in the balance.

 Two days later, when Maya's dress was changed, a permanent scar was left on her face.

Which became a constant reminder to Ahaan of the accident that had brought them together.

The mark was a visible testament to Maya's bravery and selflessness, a bittersweet reminder of the debt Ahaan owed her...

...Ahaan:- •Eyes drawn to the scar every time he looked at her, a mix of guilt, gratitude, and admiration swirling in his chest•...

Before Ahaan could even process what had happened, he...

...Ahaan:- •Had already blamed Rishika for everything•...

From that day on till now, Ahaan...

...Ahaan:- •Never spoke to Rishika directly and always looked at her with eyes filled with hatred•...

Meanwhile, Ahaan and Maya were growing closer, despite knowing that the Khurana and Kapoor families had already finalized Ahaan and Rishika's engagement, making Rishika his fiancée.

...═══════════════════════════...

......_Present Time_......

After cutting the call, Rishika rushed home, she...

...Rishika:- •Got ready, and then visited a nearby store to buy a new shirt and pants•...

Although, it cost her half of her salary, she didn't hesitate, eager to meet Ahaan's expectations.

In the past four years, Rishika's life has undergone a drastic transformation.

Her parents’ divorce, which had occurred eight years ago, had marked the beginning of a downward spiral.

After the divorce, her mother's demeanour changed, and she became increasingly withdrawn and subdued.

Tragedy had struck just a month later, when her mother had succumbed to a heart attack, leaving Rishika and her younger brother Atharv devastated.

In a heartless move, Mr Siddharth Kapoor {Rishika's Father} had then thrown Rishika and Atharv out of the house.

He stripped Rishika of her privileged status as the princess of the Kapoor family.

Maya – her step-sister, had taken her place, and Rishika's life had been forever altered, leaving her to navigate a new reality.

...Rishika:- •Life now had only one reason to keep going on, and that was her brother Atharv Kapoor, who was now 18 years OLD•...

However, there were two more people who gave her a reason to live.

Despite facing numerous challenges, Rishika had never given up.

...Rishika:- •Had endured every hardship and overcome them•...

Since childhood, Rishika had witnessed her father treat her poorly, reserving his love and affection only for her step-sister Maya.

...Rishika:- •Immediately approached room number 2206•...

And she found that Ahaan's door was already open, she...

...Rishika:- •Gently pushed the door and stepped inside•...

As she moved further into the room...

...Rishika:- •Heard the voices of two people coming from within•...

Upon hearing this, Rishika's face reflected her tension, and her...

...Rishika:- •Heart felt like it was sinking into the depths of the ocean•...

Rishika took a step further inside.

Just as she had expected, clothes were scattered all over the floor. And on the large sofa nearby, two people were entwined in each other's arms, naked except for a thin sheet covering them. The scene before Rishika's eyes...

...Rishika:- •Felt like a dagger piercing her heart•...

Rishika had assumed that Ahaan had called her to sort out their issues once and for all, but she had never imagined that Ahaan had brought her there to witness this kind of scene.

Over the past four years, Ahaan's behavior towards Rishika had been far from ideal.

Rumors of his romantic involvement with various female actresses had frequently surfaced, but Rishika...

...Rishika:- •Had always dismissed them as mere gossip•...

She had unwavering trust in Ahaan.

...Unknown:- “Mr. Khurana, your fiancée has arrived.”...

The girl beside Ahaan said.

...Ahaan’s Plaything girl:- •Eyes locked on Rishika as she spoke•...

Her gaze dripping with malice, as if she was...

...Ahaan’s Plaything girl:- •Intentionally trying to rile Rishika up and spark a confrontation•...

Two years ago, when Rishika won the Miss Universe title at a young age, she was hailed as "Beauty with Brains."

The entire Asian continent looked up to her as their idol.

With each passing moment, her followers grew, and within a week, she became Asia's number one influencer.

As Rishika's popularity soared, a sense of jealousy began to simmer within the hearts of prominent personalities, especially her step-sister Maya.

Maya felt that if she became more powerful than Rishika, Rishika would be forced to bow down to her.

To achieve this, Maya emotionally blackmailed Rishika into staying out of the entertainment industry and avoiding media appearances, using Ahaan as a means to manipulate her.

Although Rishika...

...Rishika:- •Was deeply hurt, but sacrificed her dreams for the sake of her love for Ahaan•...

Throughout the entire Asian continent, Rishika Kapoor's impending engagement with Ahaan Khurana, the powerful CEO of Red Circle Entertainment Group of Companies, was the most talked-about news, with everyone from celebrities to business leaders to fans eagerly awaiting the union of these two influential individuals.

Only a select few had laid eyes on Rishika, and the girl currently lying beside Ahaan, facing Rishika, was one of the privileged ones.

Rishika's breathtaking beauty was truly one-of-a-kind, impossible to compare to any other girl's.

It was as if God had meticulously crafted her, bestowing upon her an unparalleled combination of physical and intellectual attributes.

However, fate had dealt her a cruel hand, and her reputation now lay in tatters.

Everyone, it seemed, was eager to seize the opportunity to trample her underfoot, humiliate her, and revel in her misery.

They were all consumed by jealousy, resentful of her stunning beauty, intellect, and former glory.

And that girl, who was now gazing at Rishika with a mixture of contempt and triumph, was no exception.

As Ahaan's lips brushed against the girl's cheek, he whispered.

...Ahaan:- “Don't bother with her... She's such a letdown... She's only here to drop off my clothes... Let's pick up where we left off...”...

His voice was laced with dismissal, his...

...Ahaan:- •Tone implying that Rishika was nothing more than a nuisance•...

A minor inconvenience in his otherwise perfect evening.

Ahaan's callous words had ignited a fire of anger within Rishika, but she skillfully kept her emotions in check.

...Rishika:- •Eyes flashing with a hint of determination as she took a deliberate step forward•...

The girl, who had been expecting a dramatic outburst.

...Ahaan’s Plaything Girl:- •Was caught off guard as Rishika approached with a calm, collected demeanor•...

She had anticipated that Rishika would be furious, her anger boiling over at the sight of her fiancé wrapped in another girl's arms and that she would storm off in a huff, creating a scene.

But instead, the scene unfolding before her eyes was a stark contrast to what she had envisioned, leaving her bewildered and intrigued.

...Ahaan’s Plaything Girl:- “Mr. Khurana, please take a look at your fiancée..”...

The girl said, her voice dripping with sarcasm, as she gestured towards Rishika. Ahaan’s curiosity was piqued, and he rose from the couch, his eyes locked on Rishika as he sauntered towards her.

...Ahaan:- •Was eager to witness her reaction, anticipating a dramatic outburst, tears, or at the very least, a hint of jealousy•...

But when their eyes met, Ahaan...

...Ahaan:- •Was taken aback, his expression frozen in surprise•...

Rishika's calm, composed demeanour was the last thing he had expected, and it left him momentarily stunned.
