Before Amara can say anything, her mother, Beauty, shouts,

“Shut up… Just shut up… What is this drama you have created??? You were talking to that lowly Nikhil George, weren’t you?? The one who doesn’t even know how to talk properly!”

“Mom, please, you can’t talk about Nikhil George like that.”

“So now you will teach me whom I should talk about and how?”

Amara gets very scared. She quickly goes and locks the door from inside, then stands in front of her mother, Beauty, and speaks to her.

“Look, Mom, you know very well how much I love Nikhil George and I only wanted to marry him. But you didn’t like him, and then…”

“Then what??? You told me that you broke up with him, that you had forgotten him and wanted to move on… Is this how you are moving on?????”

“But Nikhil George apologized to me. He loves me a lot.”

“He loves you, that’s why he is using you?? To destroy Tunde…?”

“He is not using me. We made this plan together.”

“But why?? What did Tunde do to you?? That poor guy loves you so much and you are thinking of betraying him?”

“I don’t love him, Mom! And I never asked him to love me so much. I am doing all this only for Nikhil George. Tunde had insulted Nikhil George.”

“Oh God, what kind of black magic has that boy done on my daughter that she can’t even see the difference between right and wrong?”

“Please, Mom, I am not a child. I know what is right and what is wrong for me.”

“Fine then, I will go right now and tell your father everything.”

Her mother, Beauty, starts to leave, but Amara quickly stops her.

“What are you doing, Mom? Don’t you know Dad? He will kill me if he finds out everything. Kunle Uncle is his very close friend.”

“And you are thinking of doing such a disgusting act with his son? Not even once did you think about your father’s reputation?”

“Mom, please… Don’t worry about that. I will divorce Tunde but all the blame will fall on him, not me.”

“Enough now! I don’t want to hear anything else. Tomorrow, you will quietly marry Tunde. And whatever thoughts you have in your mind about betraying him… get rid of them right now. You will fulfill your marriage and your responsibilities properly. And if you do anything wrong, I will personally reveal your truth to everyone. Then they will send you to jail and I will not help you at all… Remember that!”

“No…. This marriage means nothing to me. I can’t spend my entire life with Tunde in his house. I only love Nikhil George.”

“Why don’t you understand?? Your so-called love will ruin you. We’ve raised you with so much love and care, but that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want. Tunde is truly a very good boy and his whole family is wonderful. You will live like a queen in that house for the rest of your life… I only want your happiness, my child. Such relationships don’t come by often.”

“Fine, Mom. Whatever you want, that’s how it will be.”

“I’m trusting you not to do anything that we’ll regret later. And if you do anything wrong after marrying Tunde, I swear on your father, I will reveal your truth to everyone myself and then you and that Nikhil George will rot in jail for the rest of your lives. I will forget that you are my daughter.”

“Okay, I won’t do anything wrong.”

“Hmm… Now get ready for the wedding and remember what I said.”

After that, her mother, Beauty

, leaves and Amara holds her head and sits down on the bed.

She was furious. If she got married now, she would have to live with Tunde for the rest of her life. She knew her mother would do exactly what she had warned.

But Amara only loved Nikhil George and wanted to be with him.

“Mom ruined the entire plan. I was such a fool to leave the door open while talking to Nikhil George. If I had been careful, she wouldn’t have found out anything. But what do I do now…? If I get married tomorrow, I’ll have to stay with Tunde forever. If I try to execute the plan after marriage and Mom finds out, she will expose me and I’ll actually end up in jail. No, no… I have to stop this wedding at any cost… But how?????”

Amara was extremely tense and kept pacing around the room. She kept calling Nikhil George repeatedly, but he wasn’t answering.

“Damn it! This Nikhil George… It’s such an emergency here and he’s not picking up the phone. What do I do now?? It’s already night. The wedding is tomorrow and everyone will wake up early and keep an eye on me. I only have time until tonight. What should I do??”

Amara was confused and Nikhil George was still not answering her calls.

After thinking for a long time, she finally made a decision. She immediately took out her bag and started packing her belongings. Amara had decided to run away from this wedding.

She knew that Nikhil George would be angry at her decision since she was going against the plan. But she thought she would explain everything to him and he would understand.

They would take revenge on Tunde some other way. But if she got married now, she and Nikhil George would be separated forever…

Thinking all this, Amara packed her bag, left a letter in her room for her parents, Michael and Beauty, and secretly ran away from the house.

She ran straight to Nikhil George’s house. The guards there knew her well, but they still stopped her.

They told her that Nikhil George was not at home. Amara asked them repeatedly where he was and insisted that she needed to talk to him urgently, but the guards said they had no information.

Amara, carrying her bag, sat on the ground in frustration.

“Ma’am, please go home for now… When Sir comes in the morning, you can talk to him then.”

“I can’t go home… I’ll wait for him here.”

“Ma’am, you can’t stay outside all night like this. Please go inside and wait in the house. As soon as Sir arrives, you can meet him.”

Amara agreed and took her belongings inside the house. It was late at night, so there was no one around—not even any workers.

She sat on the sofa, lost in her thoughts…

A long time passed, and Amara fell asleep on the sofa.

By the time she woke up in the morning, it was already 9:00 AM.

She immediately got up, but Nikhil George still hadn’t come home and no one had woken her up.

She checked her phone. There were no calls or messages from Nikhil George, but her phone was flooded with missed calls and messages from home—especially from her mother, Beauty.

She immediately realized that by now, everyone must have found out that she had run away.

She got up, deciding to go out and ask the guards again but first, she needed to freshen up.

She knew Nikhil George’s house well since she had been there many times before, so she had no trouble finding her way to his room.

Still feeling a little sleepy, Amara climbed the stairs and walked toward Nikhil George’s room.

But as soon as she opened the door and saw what was in front of her, the ground beneath her feet disappeared.

She screamed at the top of her lungs, “Nikhil George….. HOW DARE YOUUUU!!!”

What exactly did Amara see??

Was Nikhil George really in his room?? And if he was, why didn’t he come to meet Amara? Why did the guards say he wasn’t home?

Was he avoiding Amara, or was something else going on in that room?
