This book is entirely a product of my imagination. Please do not copy my work, or I will take strict action.

Thank you ❤️

Aaradhya's POV

I am sitting in my room reading a book that Riya gave me yesterday. Aarav Ji has gone to his office and Riya, Raj, and Darsh have gone to their college. I am lost in my reading when I hear a knock on the door. I fix my dress and open the door. Papa is standing there.

"Can I come in dear?" he says with a smile and I step aside.

"This is your home Papa" I reply. He comes in and sits on the couch.

"Sit down dear. I want to talk to you about something" he says. I sit opposite him on the couch.

"I found out that your father's company has gone bankrupt and Aarav is behind it" he says. I look down not knowing what to say. He starts speaking again.

"I will return your father's company to him. Don't worry about it. I can understand what you're going through. If you want you can go stay at your parents' house for a few days" Papa says. I look at him.

Should I tell him about my relationship with my family? I am lost in my thoughts when he speaks again.

"When I say you are my daughter, I don't say it as a formality. I truly mean it. That's why you can share anything with me without fear and I'll keep it a secret" he says.

Tears fill my eyes. These are the words I wanted to hear from my father but he never said anything like this. Papa is saying it instead. I feel so lucky.

"Please don't do anything for my father's company. It is in the condition it deserves to be in. He has never loved my sister and me like a father should. Our parents only treated us like puppets. Nisha Di didn't even want to get married but they forced her. When she ran away they forced me. And please I don't want to go to their house. If you want I will leave this house but I won't go back to theirs. The day you brought me here was the day I decided I have no relationship with them anymore" I say everything that has been in my heart for so long. I feel relieved after saying it all to Papa. He gets up and comes toward me.

"If I had known about all this I would never have let anything wrong happen to you my child. And now we are all here for you. Don't even think about leaving this house. As for Aarav I will teach him a lesson for every mistake he has made with you. And this will stay between us alright?" he says stroking my head. I smile through my tears.

"Do you want to stay with Aarav? I won't force you. If you want you can divorce him today" he says.

I freeze. I have never thought about this. I don't know what comes to my mind, but I say

"I want to stay here" I say and he smiles.

"Then from now on Aarav is going to be your servant and you will not forgive him so easily" he says. I nod. I can't express how happy I am. They really are angels in human form.

"In the evening you have to go shopping bright? Take this" he says handing me his black card.

"No, I..." I start but he cuts me off.

"You are my daughter" he says. I can't argue with that so I smile and thank him softly before he leaves.

I sit there thinking about everything that just happened. How can I be so lucky? Thank you God for giving me this family. When he asked me about divorcing Aarav Ji I felt a pang in my heart. I don't know why but the thought of leaving him... ahhh stop it Aaradhya.

Aarav's POV

"Rahul I want every detail about the Bansal family their relationship with their daughter and everything about them" I order Rahul because I want to know what they actually are.

"Okay sir. Also we found out that Nisha Bansal is in America. She is studying fashion designing there. Should I bring her to you?" he asks. I think for a moment.

"Not now. Wait for the right time" I say and he leaves.

My wife is going shopping today. I should make her day special as a good husband. I call my men and give them instructions.

In the Evening

Aaradhya's POV

"Be quick Riya. How long are you going to take?" Darsh says annoyed yet laughing. Riya has been getting ready for the last half hour.

"One bhabhi who just applied lip balm and came, and then there's this witch who keeps layering makeup" Raj comments making everyone laugh.

"She's your sister after all" Chachi adds.

"I'm coming I'm coming" Riya says finally descending the stairs.

"Finally" Raj and Darsh say together getting up.

"Take care of your bhabhi and buy her everything she wants alright?" Maa says. Raj and Darsh salute her dramatically.

"Yes ma'am" they say in unison making everyone laugh. We step out and sit in the car. Raj drives us to one of the Yaduvanshi malls. They truly are super rich.

"bhabhi first we'll shop for some dresses for me and you" Riya says. I nod.

"Absolutely not" both brothers say together.

"Why?" Riya sulks.

"Last time you did the same thing and by the time your shopping was done it was night and the mall had closed. That's why we'll shop for ourselves first then for you" Darsh says.

"Alright Riya we'll shop later" I say.

"Okay bhabhi if you say so" Riya replies with a smile. I smile back.

We reach the mall. The three of them cover their faces because they are from the Yaduvanshi family. If people recognize them it will be impossible to shop peacefully.

We head to the men's section first. Raj and Darsh start selecting clothes while Riya and I look around casually. My eyes fall on a white sweater. It's simple and elegant. I don't know why but I imagine Aarav Ji in it. He would look amazing in this sweater. I shake the thought away and focus on shopping.

After some time the brothers are done and we move to the women's section. Riya starts picking out clothes like everything is free. We laugh at her excitement.

"bhabhi you should pick something too please" Darsh says. I start browsing through dresses. I'm not a big fan of shopping.

Darsh and Raj sit outside while Riya and I continue. I see a dress and reach out to touch it when someone grabs my hand. I look to the side and see a saleswoman.

"Ma'am that's very expensive. You can't buy it so please don't touch it" she says. I stare at her in shock. How can she say something like this?

"You're being rude" I say.

"I'm not being rude. People like you do this often and sometimes steal things so we have to be careful" she says loudly. Now everyone is looking at me like I did something wrong.

"Don't judge people by their appearance" I say and try to leave but she grabs my hand.

"Wait we need to check your bag first" she says and snatches it.

"How can you do this? Give me my bag back..." I say but she interrupts and pulls out a scarf.

"What is this? What do you have to say now?" she accuses. Showing a scarf I am shocked. I didn't take or put it in my bag, so how did it get there?

"You can check the CCTV. I swear I didn't take it" I say.

"I already checked it. I saw you taking it" she says. I am speechless.

"Security" she calls and just then Riya comes out of the trial room.

"What's going on?" she asks. I tell her everything.

"How dare you accuse her!" Riya shouts at the saleswoman.

"I saw her stealing it" the woman insists.

"How much does it cost? Just tell me" Riya says and pays for the scarf.

"You'll lose your job in a few hours for insulting her" Riya warns and drags me out of the shop.

"What happened?" Raj asks seeing Riya angry. She explains everything. Raj gets up furious.

"I'll deal with her right now" he says but I hold his hand.

"Please let it go. It was a mistake. Let's end it here" I plead. I feel ashamed even though I'm not at fault.

"Let's go home" Raj says. We agree and head back.

At Home

We enter the living room where everyone is sitting. My eyes fall on Aarav Ji who smiles at me. Oh so it was him behind all this. I should have known earlier.

"What happened? Where are the shopping bags?" Chachu asks.

Riya sits beside him angrily and narrates the entire incident.

"She must've stolen again just like she stole my necklace" Bua Ji taunts. I look down. I don't want to reply.

"Geetanjali mind your words. She is my daughter" Papa says firmly. Bua Ji falls silent.

"Something to think about how can the same accusation happen repeatedly?" Aarav Ji comments.

"Maybe someone enjoys playing childish games" Maa says looking at him. He looks confused.

"What was that lady's name?" Papa asks dialing his phone.

"Manisha Kaur" Riya replies.

"Fire Manisha Kaur from her job immediately" Papa orders and cuts the call.

I stare at him in shock.

"Papa..." I start but he interrupts.

"Whoever troubles my daughter will cry tears of blood" he says. I know these words are for Aarav Ji.

"Let's have dinner" Chachi says. We freshen up and sit for dinner.

After Dinner

Aarav's POV

Why is Papa being so protective about her? Does he know I was behind this? No he can't.

I go to my room and see her about to lie on the couch.

"Why do you steal so much?" I mock.

"Because my husband likes people calling me a thief, so I fulfill his wishes" she replies leaving me stunned.

I laugh and stare at her.

"Playing with my words huh? Let's see how long you can stay in the game" I say and lie on the bed. She doesn't reply and turns away.

I think I'm being too easy on her. I should do something worse tomorrow. With that thought I fall asleep.
