"It's ok. That's enough for me!" Arnav spoke on his bluetooth, in low but firm voice.

"No, I'll deal with it." He continued, "Code is Khushi Pagal Hai!" His face was devoid of any humour. "Bye!" He removed the bluetooth putting it on table.

He went out of cabin without noticing a very fuming Khushi, coming out of the curtains.

"So silly Code!"

Since last few days she had been following and spying on her husband for obvious reasons. The next six months of her life were now under his control. So she was trying to find his secrets, in order to use it against him, if he ever tried to harm her.

After looking for any possible information about him on...

• Internet

• News articles and

• Magazines

...and also his room, she hadn't found anything controversial.

As per her research,

•ASR was a very legitimate Malik child.

•Had no birth secrets.

•Not addicted to anything.

•Hadn't used drugs ever.

•Never smoke

•Drink alcohol occasionally.

•Sexual orientation very straight.

•Had some girlfriends back in US but nothing serious.

•Didn't have any illegitimate child and

•Absolutely no criminal background.

Well some tiny-mini things she also got to know like his diabetes, allergy to mosquito killer, dislike of carrot and papaya etc etc. which could be used to irritate him.

'Am I behaving like a fangirl?'

She had thought when she had got well versed about all his favourites like his favorite movie, song, star, brand, food, his hobby, his political tilt and even his shoe and sizes including those of his undergarments.

Now after doing so much research, she had also tried to hack his mobile phone but it was laced with latest security features.

So she was following him, and keeping an eye on him by hiding under the table or behind the curtains, just like a few moments ago.

'What code he was talking about?'

The call he got five minutes ago seemed to be useful to her. As he was very attentive towards it and was planning to go somewhere.

'I should follow him.'

She decided and sneaked out of his cabin secretly.

Changing into a denim pant and short top to not get caught, she peered her head out of cabin, making sure there was no one in the lobby, as she entered the lift.

After getting cheated by Akash and Bhavya she didn't dare to rely on anyone. That's why all this spying had to be done herself. She was also doubting Sheetal and NK.

'Are they also with Raizada!'

._._._.

Lavanya was going through all the prospectuses, her husband had handed her last night.

"Lavanyaji, I know you are getting bored alone in the home." Her mother-in-law had gone back to Lucknow, as her sweets business was to be taken care of.

So Aman had suggested her to join a restaurant, as a chef. Cooking was her passion and she had nothing much option left.

Her husband was still in Devdas mode, having no plan to give them a chance.

'Will Amanji ever forget Sheetal?'

She didn't want to think about it.

._._._.

Arnav changed into casuals, a white shirt on dark blue jeans. He had got a call from Akash, about some deal by those treacherous shareholders of the company.

They would be having a meeting in a 7-star hotel in the evening, to discuss their new plan to pull down the company.

As Akash was not available, he himself had to find out about them.

He came towards his car, making sure that no one was following him.

Since last few days he was having this uncanny feeling, that someone was always looking at him and following him. His files, clothes and other things also seemed to be rummaged.

'I will deal with it later.'

._._._.

Khushi came out of the car dicky, after Arnav had parked it. She tried to locate her husband, finding him at the reception of a renowned hotel, in the city.

Arnav confirmed the room numbers with the staff, using his Secret Code.

Akash had his men out here, to help him.

It was still some time for the meeting to start so he decided to hide on the same floor.

But before he could find a place, he saw her.

Oh shucks!!!

'Is that Khushi? What is she doing here?'

He went towards her and pulled her to the corner.

"So you were the one, following me?" Arnav had solved the puzzle.

"Why will I? I am not that useless, to start these cheap tactics." Khushi was embarrassed to get caught so easily, so trying to make excuses.

"Just shut up Gupta, and go back right now!" Arnav was sure, that she was lying.

"Are you afraid of me? You can't hide your black deeds forever Raizada?" She couldn't hide her intentions anymore.

"Khushi, I am serious. It's very dangerous. Just go back now, I'll tell you everything after." Arnav tried to put sense into her.

"I won't go until you tell me everything, RIGHT NOW!"

"Khushi it's not the time. Try to understand."

"Tell me!!" She was not going to listen.

Having no other option, Arnav accepted the defeat. He was cautious, that Khushi's actions might ruin the plan, or warn those breachers. So he decided to tell her everything.

"There are someone in our company, who are involved with the rivals!" He started, making Khushi all shocked, "Roy and Sood are some of them, planning to downgrade the company and sell it!"

He narrated all the information he had, including the involvement of NK and Sheetal.

"What? NK was..." she was feeling all dizzy getting all the information. "Isn't Trustiano the same company, with whom you signed the deal a month ago?"

"Yes, I did it on advice of Gupta Uncle!"

"Papa also knew!"

Arnav tried to make her understand about the sensitivity of the matter. Thanks to his luck, she didn't create much fuss.

"Now you know everything. Go back!"

"I won't spare them so easily. I want to know their plan. I am not going anywhere."

Arnav pulled his hair mentally, but before he could do anything he saw Tej Sood coming towards the room where meeting was to be conducted.

"Don't move!" They were standing a few metres away from the room, Khushi's back facing it.

"Who is it?" She asked as Arnav lowered his head in order to hide it.

"Sood!!" He replied under his breath.

"I won't leave him so easily!" Khushi was hell angry, and going to turn around to pour water on his plans.

"No Khushi! We will do it later." He caught her waist.

"Leave me Arnav. They have asked for this!"

"No, no... " Arnav pulled her towards him, making her crash on him.

"Who is it there?" In all this commotion, Sood had got alert, seeing two shadows in the corner of the lobby.

Before he could come towards them and catch them, Arnav changed their positions.

Making her lean to the wall, he slammed his lips on her, to not get caught.

An electric current passed through their bodies, making them forget their surroundings as snow and fire met.

He couldn't control his hormones, feeling her soft lips and started sucking them, while nibbling her lower one.

She was so shocked, but when his lips started moving, it shut all her senses, feeling a plethora if emotions. She pulled his hair to tilt his face and started moving her lips against his.

He coaxed her with his tongue for entrance. She tried to resist, but Arnav grazed his teeth at her lower lip, pushing her body more into him.

As his hands cupped her nape, she gave in, parting her lips, giving him entrance, as their tongues fought for the dominance.

They were too much engrossed in their passion, forgetting the world when a hand tapped Arnav's back making him still.

"Excuse me!"

._._._.

Who caught Arshi??? 😬
