He knocked the door and Anjali teased her, "it might be your target mrs. Raizada",

She jumped on the door, smiled looking her brother,"where it is?"

He showed a velvet box, "here", seeing it she left.

He entered inside and Khushi was ready with her knife if he was about to force her when he put down the box near her, "this is for you"

She looked at it again obliviously and opened it, it was a huge chokar with gold diamond and ruby work. She was amused that why it was given to her because from design that looked ancient not brand new.

She asked with shivering lips knowingly, "what is it?"

" My mother's gift for my wife",it wasn't doubtful even from naked eyes she thought, "so he has literally accepted me as his wife", but before she could have reached to any conclusions he said, "you are my wife for everyone but not me", which shocked her.

He has about to leave the room but on the door she stopped her, "then why did you marry me", and slapped.

"I did for my family's safety", he replied gritting his teeth.

She left her seat, "what do you mean?"

"My sister is pregnant and I don't want any mess around her", she cried fake.

She screamed and fetch his collar, "then what do I do?"

"Get ready for the reception, because and pretend as my wife", he ordered her.

"Pretend?", She tried to let the truth skim out and slapped him again, "I am someone else's, dont hurt me she will get hurt", he pinned her to the wall and held her with neck.

She was a trained police officer this hurt was nothing for her but she fakely chocked and insisted for water. He gave her to quench her thirst and again said, "I am not lying"

"Who is she?", she rored as a wounded lioness.

"My no more wife, Lavanya Singh Raizada", he proudly declared and left the room with utter shock for Khushi and echoing silence in the room but umpteenth questions in her heart and mind.

The tear rolled from her eyes and she was not at all believing at him. Each single word of that night was a memory for her, of her best friend's but his words were a disaster again, she rooted numb.
