Jaye's pov

"Please na baby forgive me this time. I promise I won’t repeat this mistake again" I say to her softly.

She’s lying on the bed covering herself with the blanket completely ignoring me. She’s upset because of my dear friend Aarav and I swear I’ll make him regret whatever happened.

"You don’t care about me! You didn’t even take me out anywhere in the past three days" she complains in a sulking tone.

I can’t help but smile. My baby doesn’t ask for diamonds or gifts she just gets upset if I don’t spend enough time with her.

"Let’s go now" I say waiting for her to look at me. But she doesn’t even glance my way. Okay time to use my secret weapon.

"My secretary was asking me about…" I start to say but deliberately stop mid-sentence. As expected she sits up immediately grabs my collar tightly and glares at me.

"What was she asking?" she demands now on her knees on the bed while I stand in front of her. Her voice is sharp but inside I’m grinning like a fool because she is jealous.

"She was asking…" I trail off again wrapping my hands around her waist and pulling her closer to me.

"That…?" she prompts her eyes narrowing as she waits.

"That where my black file is" I finally say unable to hold back my laughter.

Her expression shifts and she lets go of my collar. "You’re so bad!" she says with a pout before hitting me playfully on the chest.

"Let’s go out" I suggest again.

"No" she says stubbornly shaking her head.

I sigh and try my best puppy eyes. "Please, baby. I was busy those days. Please come with me" I plead.

She looks at me her expression softening a little, then nods. "Fine. But we’ll go on your motorcycle" she says making her condition clear.

"Done" I reply instantly.

She gets up and changes into a simple black sweater and denim jeans. When she steps out, she looks like an angel as always.

"Let’s go" she says with a small smile.

"Wait, let me grab my keys" I reply. I pick up my bike keys and two jackets for both of us because it’s chilly outside.

I glance around the house to make sure everyone is asleep before we quietly head to the garage. I pull out my motorcycle and we both put on our helmets.

She climbs behind me and wraps her arms around my waist.

"Are you ready babe? Because I’m not going slow" I say with a smirk.

She understands exactly what I mean and I feel her hold tighten as she smiles shyly against my back.

I start the bike and drive us out of the mansion. She hugs me tightly resting her head on my back. Her warmth feels comforting.

"I’m thinking of moving to my mansion" I say just to tease her. She immediately looks at me through the rearview mirror.

"Why don’t you move now. huh? And I’ll tell the family that I like my college friend and want to marry him" she replies her words dripping with fake sweetness.

I grit my teeth annoyed and increase the bike’s speed. She hugs me even tighter.

"Mazak chalta nahi to karte kyun ho aap?" she says in her baby voice and just like that my anger disappears.

"When your studies are finished I’ll talk to everyone about us" I say softly. I feel her body relaxing against mine.

She is my world, my everything. I’ll make her mine no matter what. I’m not the "I’ll die if she isn’t mine" type but I am the type who will do anything even kill to keep her.

"I want to eat this" she suddenly says breaking my train of thought. I follow her finger to see she’s pointing at a chaat shop.

"If my baby wants something, she’ll get it" I say parking the bike near the shop. She never asks for anything expensive it’s these little things that make her happy.

"You wait here. I’ll get whatever you want" I say. She nods looking excited.

"I want… ummm… dahi puri" she says after thinking for a second. I smile and order it for her. When it’s ready I hand her the plate.

"Thank you so much! Love you" she says happily taking the plate from me.

"Where’s your plate?" she asks looking at me curiously.

"I don’t want it" I reply shaking my head. She doesn’t argue and starts eating.

She closes her eyes after the first bite. "It’s so tasty!" she says her face lighting up with joy.

"Try one na please" she says offering a puri to me. I take it and eat.

"Ummm it’s really good" I admit and she grins.

"Let’s go. I’m full" she says wiping her mouth.We sit back on the bike and I start it again.

"I’m happy" she says hugging my waist tightly.

"Why, my love?" I ask keeping my eyes on the road.

"Because Bhai and Bhabhi are finally together" she says and I nod in agreement.

We reach the mansion and head to her room. Oh, I forgot to mention I sleep with her every night.

We change into comfortable clothes and cuddle in bed.

"Thank you so much" she says pecking my lips softly.

"My pleasure, my lady" I reply leaning in to kiss her gently.

She kisses me back and I deepen the kiss. One hand cups her nape while the other sneaks under her sweatshirt to her bare waist. She shivers under my touch and I smirk at her reaction.

She presses her hands on my biceps and into my hair pulling me closer.

I trail my fingers along her waist as we kiss making her breath hitch. She breaks the kiss and looks at me with her flushed face.

"Good night" I say stopping myself because one look at her like this is enough to drive me crazy.

I hug her pulling the blanket over us. She snuggles closer and soon we drift off together.

Aaradhya's POV

"Love you too" I say softly into the phone my heart fluttering. Aarav ji is acting like a small kid lately wanting to hear “I love you” from me every hour.

"Soom to be Jiju cut the call and let her spend time with her friend!" Kia shouts from behind me making me jump. I hear Aarav ji chuckling on the other end.

"Okay, go spend time with her" he says his tone playful and we end the call.

I turn around and there she is smirking at me with mischief in her eyes.

"Bahut 'I love you' bola jaa raha hai haan?" she teases lightly smacking my arm.

"I shouldn’t have told you" I groan starting to walk out of the classroom. "Now you’ll tease me till my death."

"Wrong. I’ll tease you even after your death!" she replies skipping behind me like an overexcited kid. I can’t help but laugh at her antics.

We settle into our usual spot at the canteen and order our snacks. My mind drifts and I smile to myself recalling last night. Aarav ji had fake-cried just because I refused to cuddle him. He's becoming more and more obsessed with me every day.

Not that I’m complaining.he never leave a single chance to kiss me. He doesn’t kiss me he practically devours my lips. And I secretly love it.

It’s been three months since our wedding and everything feels like a dream. Every moment feels perfect and my Man makes it even more magical. I find myself falling for him over and over again.

"Hey cuties!" Riya’s cheerful voice snaps me out of my thoughts. She plops down beside us, her usual bright smile in place.

"Hey my baby!" Kia responds dramatically pulling Riya into a bear hug. These two can be such a headache sometimes.

"You know what I just saw?" Riya leans in conspiratorially her eyes wide with excitement.

"What? Tell me fast!" Kia urges abandoning her food entirely her full attention on Riya now. Gossip queens.

"That makeup ki dukaan was doing unholy things with one of the chapris in the store room!" Riya whispers her tone scandalized.

Kia bursts into laughter. "Wasn’t she bragging just a few weeks ago about her ‘perfect boyfriend’ who’s head over heels for her?"

"Exactly!" Riya nods grinning.

Kia laughs harder practically doubling over. Meanwhile I just shake my head at their over-the-top reactions hiding my smile. These two are impossible.

"Where are Darsh and Raj?" I ask Riya, looking around.

"Their lectures got canceled so they went home" she says and I nod.

"Guys we should go out somewhere!" Riya suddenly suggests her eyes lighting up with excitement.

"Where?" I ask taking a bite of my wrap.

"Umm maybe shopping?" Kia says her voice hopeful.

"Yes! Shopping!" Riya agrees nodding eagerly.

"Okay then. The three of us will go shopping this weekend" I say with a small smile. They squeal in excitement and hug me tightly.

After finishing our food we step outside to get some fresh air and walk around. But something feels off. I don’t know why but there’s this uneasiness growing inside me.

"I think we should head back to class" I say trying to shake off the strange feeling. They both nod and we start walking back.

As we approach the building we suddenly see Krish the creepy senior standing ahead. My steps slow down.

"Let’s just walk away" I whisper and we start to take a different path. But he moves quickly and blocks my way.

"Please move aside" I say firmly trying to keep my voice steady. I step to the side to walk past him but he kneels right in front of me.

What is he doing?

I glance at Riya and Kia who stand a little farther away, looking unsure.

"I love you Aaradhya" he says loudly pulling out a ring from his pocket.

I freeze. The noise around me grows as students gather to watch the scene unfold. It’s break time and it feels like half the college is here.

I take a deep breath keeping my voice calm but firm. "I’m sorry I already have someone in my life" I say trying to walk away.

But before I can take another step, he grabs my arm tightly.

I hiss in pain. His grip is like a vice, and it makes my stomach churn with disgust.

"Leave my hand!" I snap glaring at him trying to free myself.

He doesn’t budge. His face twists in anger and I can feel everyone’s eyes on us.

"Why does she have so much ego? Krish is the heartthrob of our college and comes from a wealthy family. This middle-class girl is acting too proud" a girl whispers loudly from the crowd.

"She’s just doing this for attention" someone else says and my eyes sting with tears.

I feel so small surrounded by judgmental faces. Aarav ji’s love has made me stronger but I’m not ready for something like this.

I swallow hard trying not to cry. All I can think about is how much I want to go home and escape this nightmare.

"Break up with him and come to me" Krish says with a smirk his voice loud enough for everyone to hear. "I swear you won't regret it. I'm good in money, in looks, and in bed too."

The crowd erupts into laughter. My hands clench into fists and rage burns inside me.

Without a second thought I slap him hard across his right cheek. The sound echoes and his face tilts sharply to the side. Gasps fill the air.

Krish slowly raises his head his eyes burning red with anger. My heart races. "Aarav ji please come. I need you" I plead silently wishing he were here.

Krish takes a step forward and grabs my arms again this time squeezing so tightly that pain shoots through me.

"If you don't accept me now I'll kill your lover and make your life hell!" he shouts his voice filled with rage.

Tears spill from my eyes. I struggle against his grip but it's useless. Disgust washes over me. I feel trapped desperate for Aarav ji to save me.

"Leave me or you won't see tomorrow's sun" I say through gritted teeth my voice trembling but firm.

He laughs and the crowd joins him. The humiliation cuts deep.

"I think you don't know who I am" he says tightening his grip even more. "I'm Krish Malhotra son of MLA Lalit Malhotra."

"And I think you don't know who I am" I reply glaring straight into his eyes refusing to back down.

"Babe it doesn't matter who you are" he says with a smirk. "I'll make you mine no matter what."

His gaze shifts to my lips and my stomach churns. My soul feels cold as I see the wicked smile spreading on his face. I shake my head tears flowing freely now.

I glance at Riya and Kia standing frozen a few feet away. Why aren't they helping me? My heart sinks further.

Krish leans closer his face inches away from mine. I cry harder panic rising in my chest.

"Please leave me" I beg my voice cracking.

"How can I leave such a hot chick like you?" he sneers. "Trust me babe I'll give you everything."

He reaches out to touch my face his disgusting smirk widening, but before his hand can reach me...

Aarav's POV

Papa, Chachu, Jaye, and I are discussing something in my office when my phone rings. It’s Riya calling.

"Why is she calling me?" I mutter putting the call on speaker.

"Bhai there’s a boy in college who proposed to Bhabhi in front of everyone and now he’s forcing her to accept him. Come fast!" Riya says hurriedly and cuts the call.

My blood boils instantly.

"Let’s go!" Papa says standing up quickly. Chachu and Jaye follow him but I don’t wait. I rush out get into my car and start the engine.

My hands grip the steering wheel tightly and my eyes burn with anger. She is mine. No one has the right to touch her or even look at her that way.

My heart aches at the thought of her being hurt or scared. Whoever this person is I’ll make him regret messing with her.

I glance in the rearview mirror and see Papa, Chachu, and Jaye following me in their car matching my speed. I slam my foot on the accelerator pushing the car to its limit.

"I’m coming jaan. I’m coming" I mutter under my breath my voice filled with determination.

In just five minutes I reach her college a distance that usually takes fifteen.

I jump out of the car my heart racing and head straight for the crowd gathered near the building. But Papa stops me placing a firm hand on my shoulder.

"Jaye handle him. You come with me" Papa says, his voice calm but commanding.

I want to argue but his sharp glare stops me. Reluctantly, I stay back my fists clenched in frustration.

My eyes scan the crowd and then I see her. That creep is holding her arms tightly.

My vision blurs with rage and my whole body trembles. I’ll destroy him. He has no idea who he’s dealing with.

Jaye's POV

I push through the crowd my heart pounding with anger. That bastard is about to touch her face. Without thinking, I run straight at him and punch the side of his face with full force.

He hisses in pain and falls to the ground.

"How dare you touch my sister!" I shout my voice echoing through the area. I punch him again my rage taking over. "Aaradhya move away!" I tell her my eyes locked on the disgusting excuse of a man before me.

"I'll kill you bastard!" I growl landing another punch on his face. He tries to grab my hand and push me back but before he can our guards step in and hold him down tightly.

"Leave me!" he shouts struggling against their grip but he's powerless now.

I glance at Aaradhya and my chest tightens seeing her crying. Riya and another girl are holding her.

I turn back to the crowd my voice thundering. "IF ANY SINGLE PERSON EVEN THINKS OF TOUCHING HER AGAIN BE READY TO FACE THE DEVIL!"

The students scatter immediately fear evident on their faces.

"Take him to the office" I order the guards and they drag him away.

I walk to Aaradhya and gently take her hand in mine. Her fingers tremble and tears stream down her face. I squeeze her hand softly trying to reassure her.

"Stop crying princess" I say gently as I lead her toward the head office. Riya looks at me worry in her eyes but I give her a nod silently assuring her that Aaradhya will be fine.

As we reach the office I see everyone already waiting for us. Aaradhya is still sniffling and I silently vow to make sure no one ever dares to hurt her again.

Aarav's POV

I tap my foot on the floor my anger growing with every passing second. The CCTV footage plays on the screen in front of me. That bastard thinks he can touch what's mine? I clench my fists barely holding myself back.

The door opens and Aaradhya enters with Jaye the guards and that creep. The moment her eyes meet mine she runs straight to me and wraps her arms around me tightly. I hug her back pulling her close.

"Shh baby I'm here" I whisper into her ear as her body shakes with sobs. Her grip around my waist tightens and I kiss her head gently trying to calm her down.

"I... I wa..." she tries to speak but breaks down into more tears. My jaw clenches as I look at the man responsible for her tears. He looks terrified and he should be. I'll make him regret every second of his life.

"What do you think? Do you know who you were messing with?" Papa's voice cuts through the room. He pulls out his gun and shoots the creep's right leg. Aaradhya flinches in my arms her body trembling.

"She is our everything and you made her cry!" Papa shouts stepping toward him and punching him so hard his teeth fly out.

"I... I'm really sorry! I didn't know Aaradhya..." the creep stammers but Chachu cuts him off by shooting his left arm.

"Don't take her name with your filthy mouth!" Chachu roars his voice filled with rage.

The man now lies on the floor bleeding and barely able to move.

"Le... let's go home please"

Aaradhya whispers looking up at me with tear-filled eyes. I nod my heart aching for her.

"Jaye, take her to the car" I say. Jaye immediately takes her hand and leads her out of the room. The moment she steps out my restraint snaps.

I lunge at the bastard grabbing his collar and punching him repeatedly.

"She is mine! How dare you even look at what's mine?" I spit out each word with a punch. His face is a mess and he's barely conscious.

I grab a bottle of water splash it on his face and crouch down. "You said you'd treat her well in bed didn't you?" I whisper coldly. His eyes widen in terror.

"Please sir! I didn't know she is your girlfriend!" he pleads joining his hands desperately.

"She is my wife. She is Aaradhya Aarav Yaduvanshi!" I shout pulling out my gun and shooting him in his most sensitive part. His screams echo in the room grating on my nerves.

"Now you'll never be good on any bed" I say shooting his other hand. I'm still not satisfied but my girl needs me.

I fire one last shot into his chest and look at Papa. He nods at me.

"Throw him in the exact spot where he dared to propose to my wife. Let everyone see what happens when someone touches what's mine. After that, take him to our basement. No one is allowed to help him and if anyone tries, they'll see devil" I order the guards. They nod trembling as they drag the bloodied mess out of the room. I kick him one last time before walking out with Papa and Chachu.

"Calm down Aarav. Right now she needs you" I tell myself heading to the car.

She's sitting in the back seat crying softly. I climb in and close the door. The driver starts the car and I pull up the partition wanting privacy.

The moment the partition goes up she throws herself into my arms hiccuping and trembling. I lift her onto my lap holding her tightly.

"Shhh baccha. I'm here with you. Don't cry now" I say softly stroking her back. "It hurts me to see you like this."

She lifts her face to look at me her cheeks red and eyes swollen from crying. And then she tells me everything every disgusting word that man said to her.

My blood boils all over again. But for now I focus on calming her. My revenge can wait. Right now my jaan needs me.
