She may file a criminal complaint/case against you before police or court u/s 376/493 of IPC for the false promise of marriage and rape, and also criminal complaint about cheating and breach of trust can be filed. It's better to try to solve the matter before friends and sort it out. Even if she files nothing much to worry, just you need to be strong and face the consequences. You have a good defense from a recent judgment of Bombay high court. It will be helpful in defending your case. Hire a lawyer and take assistance.

The Bombay High Court said a promise to marry cannot be considered an inducement in every rape case.

Justice Mridula Bhatkar delivered the judgment in a case filed by a girl accusing her former boyfriend of rape following their break-up.

“In the case of consent got by fraud, inducement is a key element. There should be some substantial evidence on record proving that the girl was induced to such an extent that she was ready to get intimated. In such type of cases, promise to marry cannot be considered as an inducement,” said Justice Bhatkar

Hello.
U should immediately file a complaint to the local police station about the threats given to u by her and the apprehension that she may file a complaint against u and involve u in false case.
Also get the complaint drafted by a good lawyer or else u might land up behind bars as per the prevailing laws of the land.
