"I will be always there for you, if not with you than just place your hand on your heart, you will find me beating inside you❤️"

Mahi's p.o.v..

"Adi remove your shoes first, then go inside." I asked him to remove his shoes when I saw he was going to walk with shoes inside the temple. He removed his shoes while glaring at me. I tried to ring the bell at the entrance but it is too high form my height. Then suddenly loud roaring of bell rung in my ear. I turned back to see him ringing the bell, I smiled at him but he didn't responded. Beast

We went inside dadi was already waiting for us as she saw her grandson entering, a different shine came across her face.

Priest asked us to do the aarti (sacred prayers) while handing us plate with diya in it..he holded the plate while I touched his hand..

God Just give me the strength to protect my husband's life. Give him all the happiness whether it is sneha or someone else. I opened my eyes and saw him looking at me intensly..I asked him but he shooked his head saying nothing.

After prayers priest asked him to fill my maang, which he followed smoothly. Then he handed him a thread to tie across my neck, I saw he was getting irritated but compelled it for dadi.

We are about to go, when I told him to wait outside, I ran inside and asked the priest for one moli(sacred thread),. He kept it in the feet of the god, than handed it to me.

After coming out I saw him lost somewhere, when I asked him he shrugged it off saying nothing. But something is disturbing him, I can read it.

Later on the night, we had our dinner together with little chattering but he was silent all the time.

After finishing the presentation when I retired to his room, he was already sleeping. Slowly I took out the moli from my clutch and walked towards him..scaredly I picked his hand and tied it around his wrist..

I don't know for how much time we are together, but my love can cover any distance. I will be always there with you even if I am not present there. I have many imperfections adi, your scarlet is lost a long ago. You deserve someone better, much better than me.

After meeting years later you asked me where I was, with whom I was but not for the once you asked how I was? If you have one's ask this question, I had told you everything melting in your arms..

Whenever I try to act bold or try hard not to cry, but the thought of living without you makes my heart clenched.

"It will protect you from all the evilness, I love you a lot husband" I kissed his hand and went to my side of bed and let sleep engulfed me.

"It will protect you from all the evilness, I love you a lot husband"..her words are still ringing in my mind, and as my gaze went towards my wrist I felt the warmth spreading in my heart..

But there is also a fear, fear that something bad is going to happen, something which will turn my complete life.. yesterday when I was waiting for her outside the temple, a old man looking like a baba (saint) came towards me.

"What?"I asked him. But he was looking at me with a pleasant smile plastered on his face. He was looking poor by his clothes and everything. Unknowingly my hands went inside my pocket. She is making me do things, which I hate the most.. I handed him money but still he was looking at me..

"Do you want anything?" I asked him.

"You still have time correct your mistakes, the day is not far away when he will make you repent..."he pointed at the sky..what bullshit is he saying..

"What nonsense are you saying, take your money and get out."I snapped at him, but he was looking at me with pity.

"You are a sinner, but that fate has written her as your sanity.

We come to no true value of things only after losing them child" With that he walked away leaving me alone with my inner turmoil.

His words are like a warning to me. Whole way to home my mind was full of thoughts. She asked me but I refused to answer her saying nothing.

Later after dinner, I pushed myself to bed and waited for her to come, so that I can sleep because now a days I can't sleep without her wrapped in my arms. I waited almost for an hour but she didn't came, I decided to check myself and was about to get up but the sound of twisting the knob reached my ears. I immediately closed my eyes. For minutes I heard no movement but then I heard the closet door closing and steps coming my way. She checked I am sleeping or not, then holded my hand in her grasp. I feel her tying something on my wrist.

Is little kitty is planning to kidnap me, after that she said the words which made my heart leap a beat and climbed her side of bed. She slept immediately as now a days she is working very hard. I pulled her in my arms and raised her tee shirt to keep my hand on her stomach, feeling the warmth she snuggle more into me. I have to make everything right my scarlet, starting from providing you your rights.

Flashback ends

"Sir someone is there to meet you"my secretary informed me. I nodded and asked him to go. He entered with tense shoulders, something is wrong...

"Good evening sir" I nod at him, and asked him to take a seat as it is going to be a long conversation.

"Hope you bring what I wanted?"Without beating around the bush I asked him the question. He nodded.

Two years back, I suffered a huge loss because of some black sheep in the company. It was like my whole empire would crash like a castle of sand. No one in market was ready to even invest and my father simply disowned me saying I am useless..it was the second time I felt the worst pain after she left me.

Then someone came in my life as a guardian angel, he or she helped me by investing millions in my company, bhai told me it was last time he was helping me in my mess, he said there is an Italian invester who wants to invest in my company. First I was to shocked that which idiot wants to invest in a company whose profit margins are zero. That was the time when no one trusted me, everyone is busy in mocking and insulting. For once I felt that my family, my parents has also lost their belief in me.

Then suddenly someone came and helped me, not any small amount but with millions...I never met him because according to his manager he is very busy, that was the time I started everything from beginning. From that day I start with nothing and today I have everything, the people who used to mock at me today fear to stand in front of me. Whatever I am today is only with his or her support. I always wanted to know who he or she is? But I always got disappointment in my hands. Today I will finally come to know about that person.

"Sir are you okk?"A voice made me snapped out from my thoughts..I cleared my throat and asked him to continue...

"So, do you find about that Italian invester?" I asked him, he gulped means something is fishty.

"Sir the is no such Italian company or say Italian investers exsist." He said and looked down. What the hell? How can it is possible that there is no such company.

"What do you wanna say? God came to give me millions.."I snapped at him.

"No sir, I mean the money is invested but not by any Italian invester." He replied..

"Then who in the fucking hell will invest millions in a submerged ship." This time I raised my voice. He stood motionlessly on his place.

"Mahi mam" ..my breath hitched as I heard her name. No it can't be

"What about her?"I asked him to confirm my doubts.

"Mahi mam invested in your company, it was her manager who handeled every meeting, every conference. There is no such Italian company, it was just her Italian venture who invested two years back. Thought she face quite opposition as it was question of billions, but it was her who invested for you."By the time he finished I felt the unknown emotion, which I never want to feel again.

"Anything about her past?" I asked him, despite knowing she is best in hiding everything.

"Not anything specific but I found her psychologist name." What?

Psychologist, my mahi why? I questioned myself. Despite I nodded.

"Sir, there is something I wanna tell you"...he spoke with hesitance clear in his voice

"Yes?"I raised my eyebrows...

"Var..Vardhan, Vardhan is back" ..my head snapped in his direction, no not that bastard.

"And this time his intensions are not seemed to be good." His voice held a amount of cautiousness in it...

"You may leave" he stood up and moved out leaving my mind again full of questions. Vardhan Chaudhary I will give you a death, a death you will beg for. I will kill you slowly and sweetly after all you are my best friend..bloody bastard..

Why scarlet, why you done that for me? I done so bad to you despite you helped me why? What is the big thing I am missing..you trusted me, when everyone thinks I was useless you trusted me..why? If you was not there to help me than today i will not be standing here.

But the question is why you never told me about all this, why? And about that Vardhan, I will kill him the day I will find him.

But for know I has to meet doctor Lee, los Angeles I am coming. I will find out everything wife, just wait and watch.

I stood up from my place and walked out everything went silent, like always.

Turning the engine of my black XUV

I drove towards my home, these day I like to go home early, even my employes are shocked as they never saw me leaving early..

I walked inside as I was about to enter I heard a voice, a beautiful voice. She is laughing, my lips automatically turned upward but the next moment anger replaced my happiness hearing a male voice. I don't want any guy except me near her, she is mine... I walked inside only to see ridhan sitting beside her, she was laughing looking at something on his phone.

There head snapped towards me, and immediately she straighten herself. Why she reserved herself in my presence?

"What are you doing here?"He asked me with a hard face.

"This is my estate, where you are standing with my wife."I snapped at him.

"Ridhan" she interrupted seeing the tension between us. "Please"..she holded his arm to calm him..what the fuck

"I think I should leave, take care sweetheart"..he kissed her forehead and left not before glaring at me. She walked towards me with a frown mared her forehead.

"Why you always behave so coldly with him? He is my friend, and you know what now he will feel bad...this is not the way to behave with any guest aditya ." She said softly..

"He touched you"..she looked towards me in desbelief..

"Out of all the things I said you only get this, that he touched me"..her voice little louder than needed.

"Mind your voice mahi" ..I have enough of their friendship and ridhan's silly game. She looked down

"Where is dadi?" I asked her, she looked up with wet lashes, looking like a angry kitten.

"She left as her family came early from Mumbai.."she said and turned to walk past me.

"Get ready, we have to attend a party" ..I holded her wrist to stop her.

"I don't want to go there" ..she said without looking at me..I held her chin between my fingers and made her look at me.

"I didn't asked for your opinion cara, you are coming with me and that is final." I don't want the culprits to go free handed, I will make them regret their existence.

"You can go with sneha, after all she is your to be wife.." FUCK why she always have to bring her in all this.

"Listen aditya, I know we are both are pretending that nothing has happened between us. We are all lovey dovey couple but you and I both know the reality of our relationship. So, let's keep this drama till our, no your house. After all it's just about the spam of a month.."her eyes and voice both are straight. It would be lie that her words didn't affected my heart.

"Just fucking go and get ready" I yelled at her, she flinched moving back scaredly..but my hold on her arm didn't allowed her..

"Le_ave..me, it's hurting." she whimpered with closed eyes and reopened it to look towards me with hurt and what I guess next was pain. I left her arm immediately.

"Only for one month" ..she whispered and walked past me wiping her tears..

Why? Why I always end up hurting her, but my scarlet today your presence is needed. It means if I have to hurt you...

I am going to find everything scarlet let's start with the people who started this game of lies...
