Aaradhya’s POV

I woke up early today because Aarav ji is going for a business meeting. He’s getting ready while I stand beside him watching him silently thinking of what to say.

“Say love” he says while combing his hair. I look at him with a sad face.

“Will you come back today only naa?” I ask softly hoping he’ll say yes.

He turns toward me and suddenly pulls me by my waist. My heart skips a beat, just like the first time he touched me. I place my hands on his shoulders for support feeling my cheeks warm.

“Will you miss me?” he asks his voice low and teasing, as he gently moves a strand of hair away from my face.

“Is that even a question?” I reply my voice almost a whisper. “I’ll miss you that’s why I’m saying please come back today.” My fingers trace random circles on his chest as I speak and he pulls me closer making my heart race. His brown eyes shine with happiness and I can’t help but smile back at him.

“I’ll come back as soon as possible meri jaan” he says his voice full of warmth before placing a soft kiss on my forehead.

“And don’t forget…” I trail off waiting to see his reaction.

“Forget what love?” he asks a mix of confusion and desperation in his voice.

“Forget my kurti” I say bursting into laughter unable to keep a straight face.

“Haha okay my love. Anything else you want?” he asks smiling. I shake my head.

“Goodbye kiss” he says his gaze locking onto mine. His eyes hold a playful glint and his tone is soft but teasing. His actions make my heart swell with love.

I close my eyes waiting for him to kiss me but nothing happens. Confused, I open my eyes to see him smiling at me.

“Why aren’t you kissing me?” I ask frowning slightly.

“Ohh so my wifey is also obsessed with kissing just like me huh?” he teases his playful smirk making my cheeks flush even more.

“You’re so bad leave me!” I say hitting his chest lightly and trying to move away but his hold on my waist tightens.

“Ahn ahn, every time I’m the one who kisses first, but this time I want you to kiss me. Please?” he says with a small pout, looking so adorable that I can’t hold myself back anymore.

I stand on my toes and press my lips against his but he doesn’t respond. So, I start moving my lips on his slowly. His lips feel softer than ever and it makes my heart flutter. He lifts me slightly and I wrap my hands in his hair, running my fingers through it.

Feeling bold, I bite his lower lip gently just like he always does to me. A soft moan escapes his mouth and it sends a shiver down my spine making me feel something deep inside. I pull away when I’m out of breath and look at him, breathing heavily.

“Ahh my wifey is getting wilder day by day hmm?” he says, i look down shyly, his cheeks turning pink.

“Now it’s my turn” he whispers and before I can react, he slams his lips on mine. His kiss is rough, intense and completely opposite to mine. He kisses me until he’s satisfied or maybe he’s never satisfied when it comes to my lips.

“Let’s go now you’re getting late” I say trying to catch my breath. He nods still smirking.

We come downstairs together and see everyone already awake. It seems like the whole family got up early today.

After breakfast it’s time for Aarav ji to leave. I walk outside to see him off. He looks at me before getting into the car and smiles.

Wait his phone is here! “Aarav ji, suniye!” I shout and run towards him.

He turns around and says loudly “Suniye, Aarav ji ki jaan!”

I freeze in my tracks completely shocked. All the guards standing nearby look at us with their mouths hanging open.

I lower my head in embarrassment and quickly walk toward him. “Why did you say that so loudly?” I complain glaring at him.

“You are my jaan and everyone has the right to know” he says with a teasing smile.

I hand him his phone and mutter “You forgot your phone.”

“Bye and take care of yourself” I say softly.

He nods and leans down to kiss my forehead, making me blush. He gets into the car and waves goodbye.

As I walk back inside, I notice my family looking at me with mischievous smiles.

“Aarav ji ki jaan” the ladies tease me and I feel my cheeks heat up as I give them a shy smile.

At college

I enter my class and feel the scared gazes of the students on me. Ever since that incident, this is the reaction I get from everyone. Ignoring them I go to my usual place and sit down quietly.

After some time Kia comes and sits beside me.

“What happened? Why do you look so sad today?” I ask noticing her dull face.

“Didn’t you hear? Our exams are starting in a week” she says sounding stressed.

“I know but why are you so worried about it?” I ask surprised because Kia is not the type to get bothered by such things.

“It’s not about the exams. Dad said that if I don’t get a decent job after our course is over, he’ll make me work in the family bakery and I don’t want that!” she says putting her head on my shoulder like a child.

I smile and start running my fingers through her hair to comfort her. “Don’t worry. Everything will be fine” I say softly.

She lifts her head and looks at me. “Haa it’s easy for you to say because you love cooking! But I don’t” she says making me laugh at her reaction.

“By the way how’s your boyfriend?” she asks her tone playful.

She doesn’t know about my real identity yet. I’ve decided to tell her the truth after our final exams. For now she only knows I have a boyfriend and she thinks he’s rich.

“He’s fine” I reply feeling my cheeks heat up.

“Aww my bestie is blushing just thinking about him!” she teases coming back to her usual cheerful self.

At Break Time

Riya’s POV

“She’s so pretty yaar” I say looking at Kia’s pet cat. I can’t stop admiring her. Kia has become my best friend. She’s pure and innocent, just like this little cat hehe.

“You know what name I gave her?” Kia asks looking at me and Bhabhi with excitement.

“What?” we both ask at the same time curious.

“Her name is Billorani” Kia says laughing and we both chuckle at her choice.

“By the way can I ask you something?” Kia says suddenly turning serious.

“Go ahead babe” I say, sipping my drink ready to hear her out.

“Your brother Aarav Yaduvanshi got married four months ago right? But there’s not a single photo of his wife or even her name anywhere. Why?” she asks her face full of curiosity.

I smile secretly thinking, His wife is your bestie Kia.

“Actually my Bhabhi isn’t ready for that kind of publicity yet. And if she doesn’t want it we’re not forcing her” I reply calmly and Kia nods understanding.

“You guys are so understanding. I hope my Aaru also finds a sweet family like yours. You know how innocent she is” Kia says running her fingers gently through Bhabhi’s hair making me laugh.

“Excuse me” we suddenly hear a voice and turn to see a group of girls standing nearby. By their appearance I can tell they’re from wealthy families, the typical spoiled kids.

“Yes?” Bhabhi says politely.

“That day in the campus your brother came to save you right? Can you please give us his number?” one of the girls asks and I freeze. I know they’re talking about my Man. My hands clench into fists but I try to stay calm.

“Yeah he was looking so hot and dreamy. you know? Every girl wants a man like him” another one adds and my blood boils.

“And his black shirt with folded sleeves, messy hair and that physique.......he’s just fire!” another one says and I glare at her. She looks confused by my reaction but Bhabhi interrupts before I can lose it.

“Sorry but he’s already taken” Bhabhi says firmly. The girls leave muttering bad things about his girlfriend basically about me.

Ahhhh! I wish I could kill them with my bare hands! I think angrily. Filthy women, always eyeing someone else’s man. Huh bitches.

May they fall in mud wearing their new dresses. May their hairstylist cut their hair unevenly by mistake. May they get a ton of pimples on their wedding day. May. ........

“Cool Riya cool” I suddenly hear Bhabhi’s calm voice snapping me out of my murderous thoughts.

The rest of my day goes in the same mood. I stay grumpy snapping at anyone who dares to come near me.

Now I’m lying in my room lost in my thoughts when I feel someone’s hand around my waist pulling me towards them. I know it’s him. Without thinking I push him with all my strength and sit up on the bed facing him while kneeling.

“What did I do babe?” he asks sitting in front of me with his famous smile looking amused.

“Why? Haan why are you doing this? Tell me!” I shout crawling toward him as he leans back surprised. He lies on the bed, watching me and I sit on his stomach grabbing his collar tightly.

“Tell me! Why did you do that? And stop smiling!” I shout again my voice filled with frustration. He gulps hard confused.

“I’m really sorry sweetheart. Now please tell me what I did” he says holding my waist gently and leaning against the bedrest. I push his hands away and lean closer glaring at him.

“Why did you wear that dress when you came to save Bhabhi? And why were you looking so hot that day? Tell me! You should have worn something normal na? And stop smiling at everyone except the family or I’ll kill you for sure!” I say in one breath my emotions pouring out.

He suddenly flips us over pinning me to the bed and hovering over me.

“Shhh love. Relax,” he whispers running his hand through my hair to calm me. His touch soothes me and I look up at him my anger fading slightly.

“Now, tell me what’s really bothering you love. What made you this angry? If it’s someone else I’ll handle it and if it’s me I’ll punish myself” he says softly his voice filled with love and sincerity.

I sigh and tell him everything the girls who came asking about him and how they spoke about him. He listens carefully and then starts laughing.

“Why are you laughing?” I ask pouting feeling even more annoyed. He leans down and pecks my lips.

“Because you’re overthinking love. I’m all yours and these marks are proof of that” he says showing the love bites on his neck. I glance at them and realize he’s right. It’s not his fault those girls were just wrong.

“And when I came to save Bhabhi it was an emergency. If I’d known this would happen, I would’ve worn beggars’ clothes” he says making me laugh.

I hug him tightly and he lies back on the bed pulling me on top of him.

“You’re only mine” I whisper listening to his heartbeat quicken.

“I’m yours, love” he replies softly.

We stay like that for a while not saying anything. He strokes my back gently and I feel safe in his arms.

“Please don’t leave me. I’ll die without you” I say suddenly, looking into his eyes. I don’t know why these negative thoughts are flooding my mind today.

“Never love. I’m here always. Now sleep and stop overthinking” he says pecking my lips again.

I smile faintly resting my head on his chest and let his warmth and heartbeat lull me to sleep hugging him tightly.

Jaye's POV

My innocent baby. She thinks I’ll leave her but if only she knew the truth how much of a psycho I am for her. She has no idea that my obsession with her started when she was just a baby.

Even when I was in America I made sure no one could get close to her. I sent so many boys on a little tour of hell just because they dared to think about proposing to my girl.

I look at her peaceful, innocent face. She believes I’m a perfect gentleman but if only she knew the things I’ve done to make her mine—completely mine.

I kiss her forehead softly and hold her tighter. With my world in my arms I close my eyes and drift into a deep contented sleep.

Aarav's POV

I come home and it’s already 2 in the night. Walking inside our room I notice the lights are still on. Didn’t she sleep? I look towards the bed and find her sitting there sleeping.

My jaan was waiting for me. I gently lay her down properly on the bed and change into my nightclothes. Sliding in beside her I hug her securely in my arms and fall asleep.

Next Morning

I wake up to see her still sleeping peacefully. Smiling I kiss her forehead softly and head to the gym area. Tomorrow is her birthday and I’ve planned so many things. I just hope everything goes perfectly. The family also has a surprise for her.

After my workout and breakfast we all gather in the living room because I bought gifts for the ladies of the house. The rule here is simple even if you go to the office you must bring something back for them even if it’s just a flower.

“This is for you Maa” I say handing her a beautiful shawl I had custom-made in just two hours. It has intricate embroidery on the border.

“For you Chachi” I say giving her a set of six sarees famous in Lucknow.

“And this is for you” I say handing Riya a pair of diamond polki studs.

“Thank you so much! They’re so beautiful!” Riya says practically jumping in excitement.

“And where is my kurti?” my baby asks with a cute pout. I signal to the workers.

“Bring the boxes kept in the other room” I order and they bring five big boxes.

“What’s all this?” she asks confused as I lean closer to her.

“You asked for a kurti right? So, here are all your kurtis” I say grinning.

She opens the boxes only to stare at me in shock. “Are you serious Aarav ji? I asked for just one kurti and looking at these, I think there are more than 800!” she says clearly done with me.

“No love they’re over 1,000. You didn’t tell me exactly what you wanted or in which color, so I bought all the colors and designs available. I didn’t want you to feel upset” I say pretending to be innocent.

She sits beside me smiling softly. “Thank you” she whispers and I grin proudly.

“But I can’t wear all of these!” she says looking at the mountain of kurtis.

“No worries everyone can wear them” Jaye says casually making us all turn to him.

“Oh so now the men of the house will wear kurtis?” Maa teases and everyone bursts into laughter.

“Aahhh! I didn’t mean that! I meant the ladies of the house can wear them. Or we can sell them and become rich!” Jaye says trying to save himself, which only makes everyone laugh harder.

Aaradhya's POV

I’m on my way back from college and today’s been a really good day. Aarav ji bought so many things for me. He’s becoming the ideal husband day by day.

I was lost in my thoughts when the car suddenly stopped. Confused I looked outside and saw a man lying on the road. He had come right in front of our car.

“Wait ma’am I’ll check” Arjun bhaiya said as he stepped out of the car. I kept watching them through the window feeling uneasy when suddenly my side door opened.

I turned and saw some men dressed in black. Their faces were covered and panic hit me instantly. Before I could scream, one of them pressed something over my face.

My vision blurred, my body felt heavy, and slowly, I lost consciousness.
