RAGHAV'S POV

My trance of thoughts with eyes closed broke when I felt some moment near mine.

"So jao (sleep) " I mumbled wrapping the tiny figure to myself more.

Janki Rathore!

The Goddess I worshipped!

And she's going to be my drug.

And I need to protect this human from everything in this world. If needed, then from myself too.

"I'm not sleepy anymore" She mumbled and I looked at her as she looked at me.

"So, you're going to like everyday ruin my shirts now? " I asked

"What? Why would I? " She questioned confused

"Because wife, the night was just the start, every night of ours is going to be like this. And every night I'll gladly do the after care and.. " I was saying when she slipped more inside the comforters and I chuckled.

"You can't be shy now after you scratching me like a wild cat" I teased

"Shut up" She whined when I removed the comforters.

"My shirts have never looked this hell good" I said and she smiled as I kissed her forehead.

"And Mr. Rathore, your closet was mine to paint right? " She asked

"Present tense Sunshine. My closet is still yours to paint" I corrected and she smiled a little but then smirked.

"Yes so, I'm going to ruin each shirt of yours then" She said

"Willingly Yours" I told and she smiled but then looked at me.

"I Love You" She mumbled and I pecked her lips.

"Though you're some hours late in replying to this... " I teased when she threw a pillow on me.

"Ow Woman! Aaram se" I chuckled and she giggled

"Good morning Husband" She chirped

"Morning Wife" I said and scooped her in my arms.

"Wh.. What. I can walk" She protested

"I like it more this way" I shrugged and she encircled her arms around my neck looking at me.

"Staring are we?" I asked and she smirked nodding.

"Though you look extremely hot in your kurtas Raana sa, but you give a good fight to Greek Gods you know" She said and I raised a brow.

"Wife, haven't one night made you much bold" I asked

"I'm hungry actually. " She said

"Feast on me. I won't mind" I smirked as I made her sit on the counter top.

"Sorry Raana sa. You do not match my taste of food. I would prefer having something delicious" She mocked

"Really Raani sa? Because as much as I remember, these are the proof of how delicious I was to you last night when you b.. " I was saying when she spoke.

"Okay no details please" She said already red and I smirked but as she was trying to step down, she hissed.

"Sush. Sit there. Don't move a limb" I warned

"I'm sore" She mumbled and I looked at her and then nodded kissing her nose.

"I'll fill the tub with water. Brush your teeth till then" I said while giving her the toothbrush with paste.

Till she brushed, I filled the bathtub with warm water and pulled out a pair of clothes for her.

And as she was done, I made her sit in the bath tub where as she relaxed in the water.

"It is too bad" I asked concerned when she denied smiling.

"It was damn good" She replied and a smile tugged on my lips when she pointed the another side of tub and of course, I joined that.

I knew how hard it was for me to not loose control just because she was already sore.

After a while she got into a comfortable loose jumpsuit and I too got ready for office.

"Raghav Singh Rathore, take this and cover them" She said looking at the mirror of walk in and I walked towards her.

"What" I asked when she turned looking at me and then pointed the imprints of love I marked on her and then to concealer in her hands.

"Show them off" I stated as I did my collars and she looked at me.

"Shit! Cover yours too" She told

"Why would I? I'll prefer showinf them off " I raised a brow.

"Are you on crack Raghav?" She said and I still looked at her.

"First I don't shy at all. So I proudly can show my wife marking her mine to anyone. And secondly, when we weren't shy in doing stu.. " I was saying just to receive a flying comb on me which I dodged and I laughed.

"You know what Raana sa, I still hate you" She screamed to which I neared her taking the concealer and dabbing some on the blender, I covered her marks where as she did mine.

"For the first time in my life, I paint something damn beautiful and you made me erase it" I teased and she punched my chest lightly yet giggled blushing.

But all of a sudden she looked at my hands and gasped.

"Did I do this" She asked looking at the nail marks

"Yeah, my wife is a little wild" I again teased when she glared me but then again looked at me concerned

Little did she know, she had painted my back too.

But who was I kidding. I love it.

"Hey! Look here. It doesn't pain. And you remember.. Pain gives pleasure" I asked and she sighed.

"You shouldn't take every thing I throw your way like this Rana sa. " She sighed applying some cream on it.

"I'm sure I've scratched your back too" She frowned adding.

"I with open arms want to take everything you throw my way love" I said opening my arms in real and she hugged me kissing my temple.

"You shouldn't Rana sa. What if one day randomly you decide to stop taking my shit. And boom, I'll be doo.. " She was saying when I glared her.

"Don't scare me with this look" She frowned

"We both know you aren't scared of this look . But yes, don't say shit" I warned she nodded like a kid.

"Am I good" She asked looking at herself when I raised a brow.

"Perfect" I said as my focus was on her wedding ring which was in that chain around her neck.

"Let's go" She mumbled kissing my cheek as we headed downstairs.

Wishing everyone morning, Janki looked at Radhika.

"You fine Love" She asked Radhiks and I particularly made face at the endearment when Mickey jumped to me.

I know Endearment changing to other person hurts Mickey.

It's okay.

"Well, as much as I would love to roam around with you, I would not want Aarav to sulk. And I know you too! We'll have our fun at palace when you'll be back. But other then that, enjoy with Aarav" She added winking at Radhika and she chuckled nodding.

We all had our breakfasts and I and Janki walked to parking with Megha.

"Megha listen.. " I spoke and she looked at me.

"Be alert sweetheart. And listen to your bodyguard." I said and she nodded

"Nivedita, no stopping by at any place without security. And Yash, keep a check on everything" I commanded and he nodded.

"Mom....for sometime don't visit NGOs & events. Guide things from palace itself. " I told and she nodded.

"Dad.. " I spoke to which he nodded

"Rest assured" He replied to which I nodded.

"Radhika, even though Aarav will be with you, I want you to not step without security. You're our guest and Mr. Shah's daughter. We've to reply to him. So Not a a slight chance now. You're free to enjoy the whole city, but security first" I stated to which she looked at Janki and sighed nodding.

"Shall we? " I asked and Janki nodded as we reached the parking with Megha.

"I'm dropping you" I said

"Raghav please. Office and Hospital is totally opposite way. I'll listen to Walter too promise. " She told and I sighed

"Janki, please no stubbornness this time. This is the only thing I'm asking you. Don't hamper with your security love" I said caressing her cheek and she nodded

"I'll be fine. I love you" She mumbled and I kissed her forehead.

"I love you. Text me once you reach office" I said and she raised a brow.

"Walter would anyways inform you" She muttered and I sighed

"You text me" I stated and she nodded and then sat inside her car where as I looked at Walter.

"Eyes like a hawk" I warned and he nodded as I dismissed him and he sat on the passanger seat and left.

"Why isn't Mom dropping me today" Megha asked too confused to understand.

"Because mom has an important meeting. And ain't you doing mom, mom very much. Have you forgotten that you've a dad too" I asked narrowing my eyes at her while opening the door for her when she sat inside.

"The dad too does Sunshine, Sunshine very much. So it's equal" She said sassily and I realized , she's so much our daughter!!

"Fair enough. " I spoke sitting inside and dropped Megha at school and then drove to office.

As I reached office the staff wished and I nodded leaving for the cabin to find that man on couch.

"What are you doing here?" I asked

"Eating brownies. Would you have some" He mocked and I glared him.

"Okay fine. Listen! " He was saying when I spoke.

"Radhika is waiting for you Aarav. Go to her. Spend your time with her" I said

"I've to look after these matters first" He spoke

"I'll Handle it for two days. Go." I replied

"I'll keep you updated about that bastard" He told and I nodded.

"And Aarav" I spoke as he looked at me from the door.

"If this time, you sense a harm, Kill the reason. I'll manage the aftermath" I stated and he smirked as he left.

"Hukum.. " It was Mr. Diwaan and I looked at him.

"You've three meetings starting from ten minutes. Two presentations starting after that. The day would end with a video conference with the Istanbul Clients" He told and I nodded.

"Let's get started then" I said and he nodded.

The next few hours went in back to back meetings and presentations.

Meanwhile, I was informed that, that bastard haven't been seen anywhere till now.

And what was bothering me was, how was he this silent!!

But better for him if doesn't take a step because this time, I'll rip him apart without thinking twice.

After the video conference, I was wrapping up my works when Mr. Diwaan looked at me hesitant.

"Shoot" I spoke

"Hukum, is..I mean something running inside your mind? Your seem to be a bit disturbed since morning" He asked

"Just trying to keep my hands off some people Mr. Diwaan. Because, I might chop them off now" I told as I stood up and he looked at me.

"After 9 months beast is getting provoked " He asked

"Beast is already provoked" I replied and left the cabin.

As I went to the car, I dialled Janki and after some rings she picked it up.

"Busy" I asked

"Am, yeah. I'm onto a case study. Have you finished" She asked

"Yes. I'll drive to you" I said

"No no Raghav. I'll be home after an hour. You go. I've Walter and security" She replied

"Okay. But come soon" I said

"Why? Missing me" She teased over call and I knew she was alone in her cabin.

"Yes Mrs. Rathore. Because right now, I want nothing else then to kiss you hard and do the things which show you heaven on earth" I said and I could sense her gulping down.

"You on our bed beneath me, and me ripping off each piece of cl.. " I was saying when she spoke.

"Raghav..I'm in my cabin. " Her voice shuffled

"So Sweetheart, I don't mind coming to the cabin, and then.. " I was saying when I heard her taking deep breaths.

"Fuck you Raghav Rathore. You're messing up with me" She said

"Fuck me Janki Rathore. I'm waiting." I replied

"And listen.. " I spoke and she hummed

"Compose yourself love. Now we won't want the staff or your PA to know that your husband was .. " I was saying before which she cut the call and I chuckled.

As much as I loved to tease her, I myself knew how hard it was for me to not go straight away to her and actually do everything to her.

As I reached palace, I looked at a car in the parking which didn't have the Rathore's sign.

"Do we have guests" I asked security

"Yes hukum" He replied to which I have a curt nod and went inside.

As I reached living room, I heard some voices and as I reached I saw everyone and the guest we had.

"There he is. Raghav.. " mom spoke and I looked at her then looked at the man in front.

"Khammaghani Mr. Rathore" He wished

"Ghanikhamma Mr. Ranawat" I replied

"Sorry Raghav bhai sa. I heard Armaan had delayed a meeting too long to your liking. He told me right now. And you didn't ever mention" Nivedita spoke and I looked at her.

"Mixing business and personal life isn't my forte Nivedita. And it's okay. Right now, Mr. Ranawat is our guest at our palace. We'll discuss the business in office." I replied and she smiled holding her brother's hand.

"See! I told you right. He'll understand. Raghav bhai sa is the best" She said

"More then me Nivi" He asked and she chuckled

"Radhika isn't back yet? " I questioned

"Aarav and Radhika are having dinner outside. He'll drop her after that" Mom told and I nodded while dad kept looking at me.

"Excuse me" I said and went towards the study and soon came in dad.

"What's this Nivedita taking about? Which meeting" Dad asked

"It's business related dad. I didn't want to handle it my ways with this Ranawat. He's stooping low mixing business and family and I'm just silent because it involves Nivedita. She's naive. And I don't want to create unnecessary circumstances for her. But don't worry. Now since he's here. The meeting will be at office and I'll fit in his head very clear to not mess up with me again" I smirked

"Whatever it is. I don't want business anywhere near family" He warned

"The only reason I'm silent dad" I stated and he nodded.

As he left, I went to the chamber and got freshened up.

And after changing into white kurta and payjama, I went towards living room of palace where everyone was sitting.

"Where's Janki " Mom asked

"She has left. Will be there in minutes" I replied

"Megha, did you have dinner" I asked

"Yes dad. I'm waiting for mom. She told she's bringing brownies" She grinned and I nodded.

Everyone was busy talking to Armaan where as Yash looked at me raising a brow and I denied my head and turned my tab on reviewing some mails.

"Give some rest to your e.. " The music to my ears was speaking but stopped all of a sudden mid tracks.

I looked at her, who was directly looking at the person sitting near Nivedita.

And I saw her lips quavering.

It didn't take me a second to realize what has happened.

And as I realized, I knew...

Whom I need to Kill !!

But before I could know anything... Her eyes gave up, she stumbled on her feet and was falling when I rushed to her holding her.
