chapter 67

YOU ARE THE RHYTHM OF MY HEART!GChapter 67 :Heart racing, Aadhya followed the sound and reached a corner where she saw Laila holding onto Nandu, trying to hug him tightly.“No, Nandu! Listen to me”, Laila pleaded, her voice trembling with desperation. “I know how much this competition means to you, and my career will soar with your success too. Please… leave that scumbag of a wife. Let’s build a new life together. We’re meant to be—our lifestyle, our fame, our status—they all align. Let me into your life, Nandu. I can’t live without you…”.Her tone was so broken, so desperate, it sounded like a final plea—as though rejection would shatter her.But Nandu, eyes blazing, pushed her away in disgust. Pointing his finger at her, he barked,“Laila! Stay in your limits. You’re an employee—act with dignity. Don’t you dare speak a single word against my wife. One more filthy word, and I swear it’ll lead to consequences you won’t be able to handle. Aadhya is the sunshine of my life—she brought light into my darkness. No one, not you or even an angel, can take her place. She is precious. She is a gem that bloomed in my barren life”.Taking a step back, his voice turned cold but resolute,“Once this competition is over, your contract with our company ends. You’ll no longer be associated with any of our projects. This is the last line”.Glaring at Nandu with fury, Laila snapped,“If this is your final decision, then hear me out. If you don’t accept me as your partner, I’ll walk away from this event—the very one that’s crucial to you and your business. Just imagine the humiliation if you lose this competition”.Her voice was steady, laced with cruel confidence.Nandu stared at her in disbelief, his jaw tightening.“Are you seriously threatening me, Laila? Are you really willing to cross professional boundaries?”, he asked, voice sharp with disdain.Then, with unwavering conviction, he added,“Fine then. I’d rather face defeat and suffer public humiliation than ever leave my Aadu. She is worth more than any victory or reputation. Do whatever you want—your threats don’t affect me”.With a final look of disgust, he turned on his heel and walked away, not realizing Aadhya had witnessed the entire exchange.Laila stood frozen for a moment, rage simmering in her eyes. Just as she turned to storm off, her gaze locked onto Aadhya. The sting of rejection burned deeper seeing her rival there, and her expression twisted with humiliation and fury.“What the hell are you doing here?”, she snarled, venom dripping from her voice.-  *KRISH*
