Next day

Abhimanyu and Ishika were in the airport going through a security check. Ishika was nervous as it was her first time flying. Abhimanyu had no idea about what was going on in her mind.

After a security check they entered their first class and settled down on their seats. It takes 2 hours or something to reach chandigarh. In Chandigarh Abhimanyu had a business party to attend so he took Ishika with him so they could spend some time together.

Ishika was nervously looking here and there when she heard abhimanyu "you okay?" Ishika shook her head "nothing just looking" abhimanyu hums in response and puts on Ishika's seat belt securing it properly. Soon the announcement was done and it was time for the flight to take off.

When the flight was taking off Ishika closed her eyes tightly, feeling a tornado in her stomach. 'hey ganpati bappa just save me from this.. i swear i will really really give you modak every Tuesday. Should I chant hanuman chalisa? Will that help?'

She was lost in her thoughts when she felt a hand holding her. She knew the touch she didn't have to open her eyes and see who it was. It was her husband who was holding her hand and massaging her knuckle. Ishika opened her eyes and looked at her husband who gave her a warm smile. Soon the flight was fully in the air and everything felt normal but Abhimanyu didn't let go of her hand. A wide smile formed on her lips.

"Are you sure I should attend the party?" Ishika asked not sure if she should go or not. Being scared of people around her she just wanted to stay in the room. "You don't want to?" Abhimanyu asked, raising an eyebrow. "There must be your business partners and potential clients. I am afraid I would embarrass you in front of them.." abhimanyu frowns hearing her and makes her look at him by placing his fingers under her chin. "You won't embarrass me.. You are my wife and the world should know it"

"Don't worry i will be there with you all time hm everything will be alright" he continued gaining a nod from ishika. She was still not sure but Abhimanyu assured her so she agreed. Soon they both landed in chandigarh. After getting their luggages they left the airport. Their car was already waiting for them. Abhimanyu opened the door for Ishika to get in. Ishika got in the car and Abhimanyu too got in and asked the driver to drive.

Abhimanyu was on a call checking the security of the villa. He was the uncrowned king of the business world so obviously there were many enemies. And Ishika was also with him so he doubled the security. Soon they reach the villa. The maids took their luggage in , Abhimanyu was showing Ishika around the villa. The villa was huge, there was a vast garden with all types of plants and trees, there was a swing in the garden, there was a swimming pool in the backyard, after exploring the outer area they walked in. Ishika gasps at the interior of the villa. It was beautiful , she didn't know how to describe it.

"Mrs singh let me show you our room so that you can freshen up" ishika nodded and abhimanyu took her to their room. Abhimanyu went out to check the security while Ishika freshened up. She got changed into comfy clothes. Party was tonight and they were here for 3 days. After attending the party tonight they had 2 days for themselves. Ishika didn't know what she was gonna wear tonight. Abhimanyu said he had already arranged the dress for her and she doesn't have to bring any dress with her.

Abhimanyu walked in the room , he didn't find Ishika in the room. He frowned and looked around for her panicking. He was about to call the security when he heard the sound of an anklet from the balcony. He walked to the balcony and saw Ishika walking around the balcony. "Do you like it?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her waist. "It's beautiful I can read here and at night we can admire the moon.." abhimanyu smiled and rested his chin on her shoulder. "Are you hungry?" ishika shook her head "no ill look fat we have party to attend"

Abhimanyu frowned "you dont look fat okay you look cute and even if you do i like you the way you are so dont ever starve yourself" abhimanyu made ishika face him and held her chin "all my life i didn't care about what people say about me , log batein banate h and vo unka kam hai , they don't know what we go through to reach the destination.. Nor they care if you do 9 good things and make 1 mistake they won't count those 9 things they'll count your 1 mistake. They are hypocrites and hypocrites should be ignored. So dear wife, do what you want, eat what you want it's your life live however you want."

Ishika could only nod, with this man supporting her she may overcome all difficulties she faces. She may try to be like him, she may believe in herself. "Words Mrs singh" Abhimanyu spoke in a sense of authority "i will try abhimanyu ji" abhimanyu smiled satisfied.

At night:

It was night Ishika was getting ready for the party. The dress Abhimanyu arranged was a emerald green colored long flowing silk gown with a touch of sparkle, the neckline was sophisticated off-shoulder gracefully highlighting the collarbones. She paired it with statement jewelry and heels. She gasps at her reflection. She was looking beautiful.

Abhimanyu walked in the room wearing an emerald green shirt with black coat, pairing it with Ishika's dress. Abhimanyu couldn't take his eyes off her. It was like time had stopped for him. Now he didn't want to go to the party, instead stayed here and admired his beautiful wife. Ishika's gaze fell on her husband who was lost somewhere. She looked at him clearing her throat and asked him with her eyes if she was looking good. Abhimanyu didn't say anything and walked to her. His smell of cologne hit her nose. Ishika's long hair was tied in a bun.

He takes off the clutcher letting her hair fall down. "Now you look perfect" Ishika didn't say anything as she was busy admiring her husband; he was no less than a Greek god. Abhimanyu smirked as he saw her checking him out. "Let's go Mrs singh?" whenever he called her Mrs singh she felt so many butterflies in her stomach. She linked her arms with his and both of them walked out of the villa to their car.

Abhimanyu helped Ishika sit in the car and he got into the driving seat. He started driving to the party venue. Ishika was rubbing her palms against each other as she was nervous. Abhimanyu noticed it and held her hand caressing her knuckles. He didn't say anything and continued driving. Soon they reached the venue. Abhimanyu gave the keys to the valet parking. There were paps at the door clearly waiting for abhimanyu.

The uncrowned king of the business world got married mysteriously everyone was excited to see who he married, which girl stole this cold king's heart. As soon as abhimanyu appeared on the red carpet there were camera flashes. Ishika panicked and felt her palms sweaty. Abhimanyu wrapped his hands around her waist and gave her a reassuring smile.

Ishika took a breath and walked through the carpet while paps were flashing cameras. They walked in the hall, some music was playing, people were enjoying Their time. Few were discussing business, some were just gossiping. Abhimanyu walked to a man in his 40s "hello mr Kapoor"

"Hello Mr singh i am glad you came to the party" abhimanyu shook his hand with mr kapoor. "This must be mrs singh" mr kapoor spoke and smiled at her. "I say you are lucky mr singh, you found a beautiful wife" Abhimanyu smiles " I am lucky" he spoke looking at her.

"Anyways enjoy the party" Mr kapoor spoke signaling abhimanyu to walk in. Abhimanyu leads Ishika to a few of his business partners. He introduced her to them and their wife's.

After some time Ishika was tired due to her high heels. She just wanted to sit down. She whispers to him "Suniye my legs are hurting, can I go and sit?" Abhimanyu looks at her worried. "Are you sure? You wanna go home?" ishika shook her head "no no I'll sit there for a while we just came here we can't leave"

Abhimanyu led Ishika to the couch and made her sit down. "Sit here I'll be nearby" Ishika nods and Abhimanyu walks a little away to talk to his partner. Though he was talking to his partner he still kept on glancing at Ishika who was scrolling through her phone.

Ishika was scrolling through reels not knowing what to do for the time being. Suddenly a notification popped up. It was the same unknown number. With her shaky hands she opened the message.

Unknown: Enjoying the party bunny..

Unknown: you look so damn beautiful in that green dress.

Unknown: i just want to take you to my paradise so that no one sees how beautiful you are.

Ishika gulps and Looks here and there. She felt as if the stalker was nearby. She suddenly felt breathless and she rushed to the washroom to wash her face. She needed that cold water. But she didn't know where the washroom was.

She felt her throat dry.. she stopped the waiter and gulped down the thing in glass. She thought it was water but it was alcohol which she drank.. and she drank two glasses back to back.
