Mourning Bride – Season 2

Chapter 19: The Third Step

The night was unusually silent.

Inside the mansion, darkness spread across the corridors like a shadow that never left.

Abhina lay awake in her room, her eyes swollen, her heart restless.

Then—

She heard something.

A faint sound.

A woman’s voice.

From Vedant’s room.

Her heartbeat quickened.

Slowly, she stepped out… walking carefully toward the door.

The voices became clearer.

She hesitated for a moment.

Then—

She peeked inside.

And froze.

---

Vedant… and Zainab.

Standing close.

Too close.

And then—

They kissed.

---

Abhina felt the ground slip beneath her feet.

Her breath caught in her throat.

Tears streamed down instantly.

She stepped back, unable to process what she had just seen.

A broken sob escaped her lips.

---

Vedant heard it.

He turned.

And walked out.

His expression wasn’t guilty.

It was… annoyed.

“Why are you here?” he said coldly.

Abhina looked at him, shattered.

“What is this…?” her voice trembled.

“You… you said you loved me…”

Vedant sighed.

“I don’t love you anymore,” he said bluntly.

The words stabbed her.

“I’ll take care of the child,” he continued casually.

“That’s it.”

Abhina stared at him in disbelief.

Her entire world collapsed in that moment.

“This was your trap, right?” she cried.

“You used me… made me pregnant… and now—”

SLAP.

Vedant hit her.

Hard.

“Watch your tone,” he said coldly.

---

That was the moment.

Abhina understood everything.

This house.

These people.

This life.

Was never hers.

---

I need to leave.

The thought echoed in her mind.

But how?

No phone.

No support.

No way out.

Still—

A new resolve formed inside her.

Even if I escape… I will raise my child alone.

But I cannot stay here with these demons.

---

Next Morning

Vedant’s uncle called her.

“Call your father,” he ordered.

“Ask for your share of property.”

Abhina shook her head.

“I can’t do that.”

The uncle’s expression darkened.

Vedant stepped forward.

“If you don’t,” he said calmly,

“we’ll harm your father.”

Abhina froze.

Fear gripped her completely.

She had no choice.

---

With trembling hands—

She called Abhinav.

Her voice turned harsh.

“I want my share of the property,” she said aggressively.

Abhinav went silent.

“Abhina… what are you saying?” he asked, shocked.

“I want it. Now.”

She cut the call.

Tears rolled down her face immediately after.

---

At Roy Mansion—

Abhinav sat stunned.

Mareena noticed.

“What happened?”

“She called…” he said slowly.

Mareena looked away bitterly.

“She doesn’t talk to me anymore,” she said.

“She’s angry… so she speaks to you secretly.”

Abhinav shook his head.

“No… you don’t understand.”

And then he told her everything.

Mareena’s face fell.

“She has become so cruel…” she whispered, broken.

---

After a long silence—

Abhinav made a decision.

“I’ll give her what she wants,” he said.

“And after that… no more ties.”

---

Mareena sat down, devastated.

---

Next Day – Office

Abhina stood in Abhinav’s office.

Her head lowered.

Her hands trembling.

Abhinav placed the property papers in front of her.

“This is your share,” he said coldly.

No emotion.

No warmth.

Just distance.

Abhina signed.

Her hands shook as she wrote her name.

Each stroke felt like a final separation.

---

Nearby, Hrithik watched everything.

His anger couldn’t be contained anymore.

“I never thought…” he said sharply,

“that you could fall this low.”

Abhina didn’t look up.

“I’ve never seen someone so greedy,” he continued.

“Destroying her own parents for money.”

The words pierced her.

But she stayed silent.

Because the truth…

Couldn’t be spoken.

---

Meanwhile…

Vedant and his uncle smiled as the papers reached them.

Everything was going according to plan.

Property.

Control.

Power.

A direct path to Roy Industries.

---

From the shadows—

That middle-aged woman watched again.

Her voice echoed softly—

“Third step… to break the Roys.”

---

And far away from everyone—

Abhina stood alone.

Stripped of everything.

Even her own identity.

She leans closer—

“Your daughter… is in my hands.”

---

Abhina gasps for breath, tears rolling down.

“I can’t… I can’t carry such a sin inside me…”

Her voice echoes in helplessness.
