Chapter 21: The Fall of the Empire

The night after the truth exploded…

Everything spiraled out of control.

---

Abhina – Taken

Before anyone could react—

Shomili forcefully took Abhina back.

Abhina resisted weakly, her body trembling, her mind shattered.

“Maa… Papa…” she cried.

But no one could stop it.

She was dragged back into that dark house.

Back into the cage.

---

Roy Mansion – Midnight

The once powerful house was now filled with chaos.

Mareena sat on the floor, crying uncontrollably.

Abhinav stood near the window—

Silent.

Broken.

Then suddenly—

He spoke.

“I’ll give everything.”

Mareena looked up.

“What?”

“My industry… everything,” Abhinav said.

“I just want my daughter back.”

---

Mareena’s voice shook.

“And after that? How will we live?”

Abhinav turned toward her.

“I have savings.”

“I’ll sell the Roy Mansion.”

“All the other properties too.”

He paused.

“I have a small 2BHK flat in Mumbai… we’ll live there.”

Mareena stared at him in disbelief.

“You’re giving up everything?”

Abhinav’s eyes filled with pain.

“I can’t see my daughter carrying my son’s child… and suffering in this hell.”

In reality Abhinav had a secret plan. He decided to sell one of his kidney to live rest of their living along with the sold properties.

---

Mareena broke down again.

“Can’t we find Aryan?” she asked.

“He was a good man… maybe he can stop all this…”

Abhinav shook his head slowly.

“He’s not traceable anymore.”

---

That night—

A decision was made.

A father chose his daughter—

Over everything.

---

Next Morning – The Final Transfer

Documents were signed.

Papers exchanged.

Ownership transferred.

---

📰 Breaking News

“Roy Industries now owned by Mrs. Shomili and Vedant aka Abhipriyo Roy.”

---

The empire—

Gone.

Just like that.

Years of hard work.

Respect.

Legacy.

Destroyed.

---

Abhinav and Mareena stood there—

Empty.

---

The Confrontation

Abhinav stepped toward Vedant.

His voice trembled.

“Son… I’m your father,” he said.

“Don’t do this to your family… to your sister… please leave her.”

“This is a sin…”

---

Vedant laughed.

Cold.

Cynical.

“Which father?” he said.

“The one who left me and my mother?”

He stepped closer.

“Sister?” he smirked.

“The one born out of your infidelity?”

“And that mother…” his voice darkened,

“who died because of your second wife?”

---

Abhinav’s eyes filled with tears.

“You all deserve hell,” Vedant continued.

“And she…”

He paused.

“Abhina is getting the punishment she deserves.”

---

Abhinav lost control.

He raised his hand—

But before it could land—

Shomili stepped in dramatically.

“How dare you!” she shouted.

---

Mareena stepped forward desperately.

“As promised… please return Abhina…”

---

Shomili laughed.

Mocking.

“Promise?” she said.

“I don’t remember any such deal.”

---

Abhinav’s voice broke.

“You said if we give everything—”

“Did I?” she interrupted coldly.

---

Vedant added, smiling cruelly—

“That girl… born from my father’s sin…”

“Will now carry mine.”

---

Abhinav shouted—

“I never cheated! I married Mareena with Priya and Aryan’s consent!”

But no one listened.

---

At that moment—

Auction officials entered the mansion.

“Please vacate the property.”

---

And just like that—

Abhinav and Mareena were thrown out.

Homeless.

Helpless.

Broken.

---

Meanwhile – Abhina’s Escape

That afternoon—

Abhina tried to run.

Her body weak.

Her mind desperate.

She ran onto the road—

Barefoot.

Breathless.

---

But suddenly—

Her vision blurred.

Her body gave up.

She collapsed.

---

Blood.

---

Abhina looked down in horror.

“No…” she whispered.

“My baby…”

She thought—

She was miscarrying.

---

Hrithik

Driving nearby—

Hrithik saw her.

His heart stopped.

“ABHINA!”

He rushed out, lifted her, and drove straight to the hospital.

---

Hospital – The Truth Begins

Doctors rushed her inside.

Hrithik waited outside, restless.

Thinking—

Miscarriage…

---

After some time—

The doctor came out.

His expression serious.

---

“It’s not a miscarriage,” he said.

Hrithik frowned.

“Then what is it?”

---

The doctor explained—

“Her periods were artificially suppressed for months… probably through medication.”

“And now her body is reacting.”

“Severe hormonal imbalance… internal stress…”

---

Hrithik froze.

“What…?”

---

“Someone gave her medicines to stop her natural cycle,” the doctor continued.

“It has damaged her system.”

“She needs immediate treatment.”

---

Hrithik’s fists clenched.

Everything connected.

The pills.

The lies.

The trap.

---

His eyes darkened.

---

For the first time—

The truth had begun to surface.

---

And this time—

Someone had seen it.

---

Precap

Hrithik whispers—

“I won’t let them destroy you…”

Abhina opens her eyes weakly—

“Save me…”

---

🔥 The rescue begins.
