"Respect her. She is Mrs. Swara Sanskar Maheshwari. MY WIFE." He threw murderous glare at everyone.

"Any word against her will be against ME. Against Maheshwari's." He held her unconscious figure in his secured embrace.

He was known figure of North America. Everyone standing there knew his powerful and influential status. This man can destroy any one within a blink of an eye.

Everyone started dispersing looking at his blood shot eyes. No one wanted to mess up with the most influential person.

He turned to look at pale Swara.

"Swara open your eyes." He tapped on her cheek.

"Swara please. Please" he shook her but there was no response.

His heart grappled with fear of losing her.

"Roger get car." Sanskar lifted Swara in bridal style.

Everyone looking at the scene were astounded looking at them.

"What the hell? How come he is here?" Serena made Nikhil turned to face her.

They both were hiding behind pillar.

"Who is he? I don't even know him." He was bewildered looking at scared face of Serena.

"Damn you! You don't know with whom your fiancee got married?" Serena seethed in anger.

"I thought, she married with one commoner who was in need to urgent money." He mumbled to himself.

"Do you know who the hell he is? He is Sanskar Mahehshwari. The richest and most powerful man of this continent." Serena was pulling her hairs.

Nikhil staggered at his place with recent revelations. His throat turned dry and legs started weakening.

"Shit we need to inform Sid." She took out her phone to dial his number which was unavailable.

"Now come on let's go from here before his security guards see us." She pulled him along with her.

"Listen, whatever we had is finished. Just don't contact me." Serena threatened, but her facial expressions were perfect example of her terrified heart.

She left from there covering her face leaving Nikhil behind her.

Apart from Serena and Nikhil, there was one group of girls standing with dumbfound faces.

"He... he is... he is Sanskar Maheshwari right?" Rupali was first one who gained her senses back.

"He is owner and CEO of Karma right?" Other friend widened her eyes.

"But what is he doing here? He is her husband?" Rupali was baffled.

"I don't know. This is shocking." Ayesha got her senses back. "We need to be with Swara. She is not fine." Ayesha ran behind Sanskar.

Roger drove car towards city hospital with full speed and Swara was under medical care in next few moments.

Doctors were doing her check in ICU running several medical tests.

Sanskar was sitting outside with thumping heart.

'Please... Please.. Please don't leave me. Swara I need you. I can't live without you.'

After almost 1 hour Doctors came out.

"How is she?" He was desperate.

"She is fine for now. But we found some low amount of drugs in her blood which made her unconscious."

"Durgs?"

"Yes Mr. Maheshwari, we are doing thorough check to find out the exact. But don't worry, she will be in consciousness in couple of hours. She is responding well to the treatment."

"I need to see her."

"Yes you can be with her." Of cource doctor has to accept as he was one the major trustee of this hospital.

He went inside the room.

"Doctor please keep this undercover. Media should not get even a single clue. Also any development about test results please inform me first." Roger cleared his stand.

Sanskar saw Swara sleeping under medicines effect.

He moved towards her. He caressed her hairs. He bent to kiss her forehead.

He kept siting beside her holding her hand in his not moving his eyes from her serene face.

After couple of hours he felt slight moment of her palm.

"Swara... Swara I am here."

"Ahh.. San... Sanskar... Sanskar" she was making efforts to open her eyes.

"Don't stress yourself, I am here only. Just beside you." He caressed her forehead.

"Sanskar, you here?" After a moment Swara was able to open her eyes.

"Shhsh... I am here only" he kissed her forehead. "How are you feeling?"

"I have a headache. I am feeling weakness." She tried to touch her forehead.

"Hey careful there is ivy on your hand." He held her hand.

"Sanskar, I... I was in mall. We were doing lunch and then those people... What happened? You know they knew... they knew about our contract." She became hyper remembering those dreadful moments.

"Swara... Swara listen to me. Calm down." He cupped her face.

"Don't stress yourself. I am there to handle everything."

"But I was in mall. What happened Sanskar? Who were those people. How did I landed in Hospital?"

He kissed her forehead in assurance to calm her down.

"Swara listen when I am there you don't need to worry about it. I will take care of everything. So just relax. Please... please don't stress yourself." He made her understand.

"Let me just inform doctors that you are awake now." He informed doctor.

They both heard a knock on the door.

"Come in" Sanskar gave permission and Roger entered in side cabin.

"How are you Mam?" He asked bowing his head.

"I am fine Roger."

"I am sorry Mam, I should have been more attentive."

"No Roger because you were there, those people..." her eyes filled with tears remembering their disgusting questions.

"Swara please." Sanskar wiped her tears and turned to Roger.

"Is there anything Roger?"

"Yes Sir." Sanskar scrunched his eyebrows looking at his facial expressions.

"Ok you go ahead. I am coming." Hearing his boss, Roger left.

"Swara, I will be back. You just close your eyes and sleep for sometime. I am just back in a minute." He cupped her face.

Before leaving he kissed her forehead. Swara smiled softly looking at his care.

"Keep the guards. Ask them to keep their eyes and ears open. I don't want any one to enter in this room without my permission." He ordered his security guards standing outside of her cabin.

Here back in room, Swara was confused with recent happenings.

'I was with Ayesha and my friends.'

'Then those people came. How come they knew about marriage. But how come I landed in hospital.'

'Sanskar is not going to tell me anything.'

'Where is my phone?' She looked here and there. Her phone was on side table.

She switched on the phone and immediately one by one messages starting popping on screen.

In a moment her phone started ringing flashing 'Ayesha Calling'.

"Ayesha"

"Swara where are you?"

"Ayesha I am... I am fine. I am in hospital. Ayesha what happ ...?"

"Are you married to Sir?" Ayesha asked which shocked Swara.

"What do you mean?"

"Are you married to Sanskar Sir?"

"How do you know?" Swara blurted out in daze.

"Means this is true."

"Who told you Ayesha?"

"Every one knows about it. Video is streaming over internet." Ayesha responded.

"Which video?"

"Wait I will forward you the link"

"Ayesha I will call you later." She wanted to check video notification.

Swara played video.

'Enough' She could easily recognized Sanskar's voice.

'Dare you say a word against my WIFE.' His roar passed shudders down her spine.

'Respect her. She is Mrs. Swara Sanskar Maheshwari. MY WIFE.' She closed her mouth being shocked.

'Any word against her will be against ME. Against Maheshwari's.' Tear dropped and streamed over cheeks.

She replayed this video for almost 5 times.

'Sanskar accepted our marriage.'

'Sanskar accepted our marriage in public.'

'Sanskar accepted our marriage.' She clutched that mobile screen to her chest crying bitterly.

She took a deep breath looking upwards thanking her Kanhaji. Bright smile spread on her lips but her eyes were shedding tears. Happy tears!

She replayed that video again and again.

"Sir, we are monitoring Mall Surveillance cameras. I am sure we will find something."

His eyes were blazing with fire.

"Find out, how Swara consumed those drugs?"

"Sir I suspect it was in food or drinks. Mam was eating her lunch and then she started feeling dizzy. I felt something fishy so I called you."

"Thanks Roger"

"It's my duty Sir."

"Also, we are paying special attention while monitoring food joint activities from which Mam bought her lunch."

"Also find out who were those people? I am sure they were paid puppets. We need to know who planted them. How come they knew about marriage deal?"

"Sure Sir."

"Track Nikhil Chaturvedi. I need to know everything about him. Who sponsored him?"

"Yes Sir."

"Siddhant Sengupta, find out if he is involved? If yes. I am going to kill him with my bare hands."

"Our surveillance team will be keeping eyes on both."

'Siddhant Sengupta if you are involved then you are going to see my worst. You have brought tears in Swara's eyes which I hate the most.' He clutched his fist , gritting his teeth.

"Sir, also video is getting viral like wind. Our team is working on to take it away from internet. Soon it will be done." He informed before taking his leave from his master.

Door opening sound broke her trance.

He heard his own voice from video. She was still replaying it again and again.

He sat beside her on bed staring in her eyes. He took her phone back.

"Sanskar?"

He held her hand in his.

"If accepting this marriage will make you stay with me for forever. I am ... I am ready to accept." He gulped heavily.

"Sanskar I don't want you to accept..."

"Let me finish. I know, I don't believe in marriages. I didn't trust anyone till today. I didn't allow anyone to come close to me. I am in secured when it comes to relations."

Swara tighten her grip over his hand.

"I... I just don't want to hurt you." Swara narrowed her eyes looking at his vulnerability.

"I am scared that one day I will become monster and then you will be hurt." Swara wiped his tears.

"You are wonderful person Sanskar. How you will become a monster?"

"I... I have their blood. What if one day I become like them?"

"No... You will never become like them." Swara tried to assure.

"That's why I was scared to accept this marriage, Swara. You are too much precious for me. I cannot even see tears in your eyes. I don't want to become reason for your tears. This thought kills me."

"But staying away from you... I won't be able breath. I feel dead."

"I know, I behaved like a jerk. But I cannnot live with you. I cannot breath without seeing your eyes. I cannot function rationally without seeing your serene smile. I need you like my heartbeat. So, I am accepting this marriage. Will you give us one chance?"

Swara moved towards him to peck his lips to seal her promise. "I do Sanskar" she mumbled against his lips.

Sanskar pulled her on him and kissed her softly. It was kiss of assurance. It was kiss to promise. It was kiss to celebrate togetherness.

"I do Swara" he kissed her forehead.

Sanskar enveloped her in his embrace feeling blessed.

Swara kept her head on his chest clinging to his body feeling secured.

"Hello Mrs. Maheshwari. How are you feeling now?" Doctor's entered breaking their moment.

Today, this name spread excessive blush on her face.

"Sanskar what happened to that video? It was viral. What if Ma and Papa sees it? What if Nikhil uses it for..." Swara panicked after doctors visit.

"Shhsh... It's fine. Don't worry. We are removing those videos from internet. Its mid night in India, your parents wouldn't have seen it. So just chill."

"But who were those people? And how come they knew about our marriage?" She questioned.

"Don't worry, I will handle it."

"But I think it's high time, I need to tell Ma and Papa about us even before they come here." Sanskar blinked in assurance agreeing to her..

It was late evening, when Doctors discharged Swara. Sanskar took Swara from back door of hospital to avoid nagging media.

He brought her to their home.

"There is surprise for you." He mumbled standing at the main door.

Door opened and Swara's lips stretched in wide grin looking at the person standing in front of her.

"Julia Aunty"

"Swara" She pulled Swara in bear hug.

"How are you my child? I missed you so much." Though she and Swara were in continuous talks over the phone, she missed her weekend visits.

"I missed you too, Julia Aunty." Swara's eyes filled with happy tears.

"Swara you need rest. I will make nice warm soup for you. You will feel better." Julia caressed her face.

"Swara come on" Sanskar lifted her again in bridal style which earned Swara's shriek.

Julia chuckled and left leaving them alone.

"Sanskar leave me." She wiggled.

"Nope. Doctors said you need rest."

"Sanskar please. We are in home now. At least now let me stand on my feet. In hospital everyone were looking at us when you lift me up like this." She kept on blabbering.

"Welcome to your room Swara." His voice stopped her talking train.

"Sanskar this is your room." Swara looked at her surroundings.

"I know, I don't know much about marriage. But I know one thing, husband and wife stays in one room. So, welcome to our room." He kept her on bed like glass doll.

"Sanskar, but how can I?" Her cheeks were painted with cherry red colour.

"As my wife. Mrs. Swara Sanskar Maheshwari."

Her name with his gave goosebumps to her stomach. She bowed her head.

Post dinner, they both were talked about routine things. Sanskar gave her medicines and made her sleep.

For a long time he kept on caressing her hairs. She had slipped in deep slumber due to medicines effect.

In other corner of city, "Fuck" Siddhant threw his whisky glass in rage, "How always he outshines me?"

'She is his weakness and that's why he hid her so my eyes do not land on her. But now I know your weakness Sanskar. Your today's restlessness shows you can do anything for her. So now I will use her against you.'
