I'll make him plead for death

Deep in her thoughts, tears fell involuntarily from Tanvi's eyes.

Her hands tightened the grip on the wooden chair, which was helping her body stay still though she fell apart inside.

"Tanvi!!! Are you here with me?" Erica asked.

Snapped back from her thoughts, Tanvi gazed at Erica when she felt everything was spinning around her, turning upside down. A question which she couldn't duck stuck her, "am I betrayed again??"

Sadly, the answer is a 'yes' which was banging her head from every corner. Everything she tried to keep at bay came attacking once, and her tiny heart shattered.

"This... This can... cannot happen to me!!"

"Riaan wouldn't cheat me. I know him. He wouldn't do this to me." Tanvi insisted.

"Tanvi!! The matrimony site from which Riaan contacted you was a fake. A copy of the original." Erica said while taking her hand and squeezed it as a support.

A dawning realization settled on Tanvi as she remembered the two email confirmations she received. Both were from the same site.
