It was early in the morning and everyone was having breakfast. Diya was sitting beside Rudra and eating her food silently like every other member of this family. After staying in this house for several days she understood that only Uday Pratap doesn't like her.

" Next week Lavanya will be engaged to Vicky Rathore," Uday Pratap broke the silence.

Listening to him Lavanya choked on her food. Diya forwarded a glass of water to her. She chugged it down in one go.

" Please, dad. I will do anything. But please, don't marry me off to Vicky," Diya requested. Her eyes were already teary.

Uday Pratap said nothing to Lavanya. He clutched Anjali's hair who was sitting beside him. Diya gasped in shock seeing Uday Pratap's approach to his wife.

" Prepare your daughter for engagement. If you fail to do so then you know what I will do to you," Uday Pratap threatened his wife.

Anjali hissed in pain but shook her head in approval. Rudra was untroubled by what just happened. Diya couldn't believe that Rudra's mother was abused by his father just in front of him but he said nothing. What kind of son he was!

Rudra might tolerate all this but Diya couldn't. She had witnessed Uday Pratap beating Anjali like an animal. Shaking with fury she ran towards Anjali and jerked away Uday Pratap's hand.

Uday Pratap wasn't expecting something like that. In fact, no one in this table expected that Diya will do something like that. Uday Pratap looked at her in disbelief. Diya just insulted him by jerking his hand away.

" How dare you, girl! You jerked my hand away from my wife!" Uday Pratap roared but Diya didn't look scared at all.

She reminded him," Maybe you are her husband. But that doesn't mean you can humiliate her anytime in front of anyone. She isn't your property."

Uday Pratap found this girl ill-mannered. He didn't feel like arguing with her. He diverted his eyes at Rudra who was amused by Diya's bravery.

" Teach your wife some lesson. She dared to talk back to me! And you are seeing everything like a puppet! I can't believe you are my son. You can't even handle your wife," Uday Pratap triggered a strong nerve in Rudra by saying him a puppet.

Rudra didn't answer anything to his father. He grabbed Diya's hand tightly and dragged her to their bedroom.

On the other hand, Lavanya pleaded in front of her father," Dad, please don't do anything to ma. I will listen to you but don't hurt her."

Uday Pratap glanced at Lavanya. She lowered her eyes getting scared. She realized that he was ordering her to leave the room. She left the room with a heavy heart because she knew what will happen to her mother now.

Grabbing Anjali's hair Uday Pratap dragged her inside their room. Next few hours the whole mansion only heard Anjali's screaming.

Diya's p.o.v

Rudra was dragging me to our room. I yelled at him to leave me but he didn't pay any heed to my words. After reaching our room he threw me on the bed and locked the door. The moment he turned to me I gulped down. He was looking like a raging bull.

Normally I don't fear him because, in front of me, he always behaved like a cool person. But right now he was looking like anytime he will eat me alive.

" Can't you keep your mouth mum for some time? Why did you put your nose between dad and Mrs Singh's matter?" He shouted like I did a crime by protesting against his abusive father.

His mother was abused. Instead of saving her or doing something to his father, he was scolding me! What's wrong with this man? I couldn't take this bullshit.

I snapped at him," You are a coward. You can't even protect your mother."

Gritting his teeth he grabbed my jaw and whispered," Your mouth is too slippery and you are too much disobedient. Dad was right. I should teach you some manner."

Saying that he left me. I rubbed my jawline which was still burning due to his tight grip. Walking towards the closet he took out something. I wondered what's he up to. I was confused on another level when he returned with two ties.

Before I could even understand anything he tied my limbs. I panicked at his madness.

Taking off my saree he pulled up my skirt. He flipped me and now I was laying on my stomach. My ass was on full display in front of him. He touched my butt cheeks sensually. I was already cursing him and yelling at him to let me go.

" So smooth! So soft. I am feeling like to fuck you right now but I have promised you that I will not force you that's why I am backing right now," saying that he pinched my butt cheeks. I let out a small cry.

I snapped at him," What the hell are you doing? Are you insane? Don't touch me like that, you moron!!

This shameless man didn't stop touching my butt. Over the top, I felt him kissing my butt cheeks! What the hell! This man is insane.

" What are you doing?". You are a per.......I couldn't complete my sentence when his palms landed on my ass cheeks harshly. Did he just spank me?

My subconscious mocked," Need confirmation?"

He kept spanking me while I yelled and cried. He ignored my cries like he was deaf. My tears soaked the bed sheet but he didn't care.

After 20 spanks I couldn't tolerate it anymore and stopped screaming. I gave up. He noticed that I was not saying anything. He untied my limbs and threw my saree right across my face.

" Drape your saree. This is your punishment for talking back to dad. And also do you remember the slap that you gave me earlier? I promised you that I will return that slap. From this moment remember that I always keep my promise. And, never talk back to dad," Saying all this he left the room.

I didn't look back at him. I was silent. This man is not human. He is a monster.

My butt cheeks were burning like someone had rubbed chilli on my butt. How could he do all this? I was crying with pain and disgust kept growing in my heart for him.

After crying for hours Diya slept on her bed. She wasn't wearing her saree. She was only on her skirt and blouse. She wasn't aware of the fact that her room wasn't locked. She woke up feeling a soft touch on her hand. Slowly she opened her eyes and saw a familiar figure beside her. It was Anjali.

Diya sit back but hissed in pain. Her butt was on fire.

She wrapped herself in her saree. Anjali gave her a weak smile. Diya saw that Anjali's face was swollen. The corner of her lips are cut and she is looking injured too. It wasn't any rocket science that Diya won't understand what happened.

Anjali said," I know that Rudra has punished you. Take this cream. Use it on your skin. You will be relieved. "

Diya was confused. How did she know what Rudra did with her? She couldn't ask directly. She was hesitating. Anjali understood her confusion.

" Rudra told me to give you this cream," Anjali said. Diya couldn't believe Rudra told his mother to give her this cream.

Diya questioned looking down," Why is he like that, ma? He hurt me. Now, he is acting as if he cares! He is a monster."

Anjali took a deep breath. She observed Diya and her chest tightened seeing her teary eyes.

" Don't blame, Rudra. He was not like that. It's all my fault," Anjali confessed looking down.

Diya widened her eyes. She was totally confused. She also remembered that Rudra didn't call her his ma.

She held Anjali's hands," Ma, tell me everything. Why is Rudra like that? Why didn't he call you ma? Why he is silent even after seeing you being abused? Why he behaves like a puppet in front of his father? Please ma. tell me everything. "

Anjali started crying and hugged Diya tightly. Anjali sobbed," Rudra was not a monster. My son was not like that. You haven't seen a monster yet. I have seen much worse. Today I will tell you everything. "
