Kaif's POV,
I needed some fresh air. It was enough of how much that woman had ruined my mind and soul... I couldn't allow her continuing to torture me anymore.
As I opened the door and got out I heard a loud scream followed by a splash of water. It was Naila. I ran towards the swimming pool.
She wasn't even trying. What was wrong with this girl? It's just a pool not the ocean. Oh God, the ocean....no way....
I jumped in the pool and pulled her out.
"It....it was u." She whispered catching her breath.
".....my savior. It was u....Kaif."
I couldn't deny that hearing that made my heart skip. Does she remember?
She was smiling, her face glowed in the lights with the water droplets sparkling on her face and neck. Her eyes, shone like the starts. Just like that night, but this time, I could see her clearly.
She was shivering. Oh.
Kaif's POV,I saw the maid coming out of Naila's room with the food tray still food. She's been cooped up in her room for hours now just crying. Who was that bastard? He dared to man handle her and say such stuff in public. No one even cared to save her and just kept watching. People just love to enjoy a good show, don't they?I just couldn't take it anymore. I had to barge in and show that fucker his place. Although, just one punch hasn't satisfied me.I called Desai, my secretary and asked him to get any information he could on him. He dared to touch my....Kaif Alam's wife. He has no idea what he had done.Wait! What do I just say? My wife? Well she's legally but ...that felt weird. Um.... it's just because Mom has asked me to take care of her that's all. If Mom finds out she'll be really mad that's all and then there's the media. If they find out Alam household's daughter in law was mistreated by a stranger, it would cause unne
Naila's POV,"Naila?" Saim looked at me shocked.People were gathering around to tame their curiosity about us."Won't you invite us in? I guess we have unexpectedly invited quite an audience." Kaif smirked.Arshia got out of the way letting Kaif in. He took my hand pulling me in with him as my shocked gaze were fixed on Saim and her."Neha, beta go inside for now. Mummy needs to talk to the guests." She said to that little girl sending her in."M...mummy? She's your daughter?"She went in but was still peeking through the door."Have a seat." Arshia said not soo welcoming.The child curiously came out again and grabbed Saim's hand."Daddy, who are they?" She said meekly.The ground almost slipped from underneath my feet."D...d ....daddy?"I sank down on my kn
Kaif's POV,(A/N: refer prologue)Flashback 4 years ago"Do you wish your mother to die!Go back to US. This is all your fault. You're mother's condition, our reputation....all this is your fault. If you don't want to cause any further damage...just leave and never come back. Just stay as if you're dead." Dad said and went in the ICU to Mom.With a heavy heart I came out of the hospital."Excuse me sir." I turned back wiping my tears at the male voice. It took me second to realise it was one of the bodyguards.He walked up to me."Sir, can I talk to you for a minute."###"Changed her medication?" I said shocked as we stood in the parking lot."Yes sir. One of the maids in house had a suspicion that maybe someone changed her anti depression pills. Probably because of that her BP increased causing for the heart attack." He s
Kaif's POV,Desai handed me the important documents to be signed but my mind was somewhere else. Did she really do that?'I won't let any other woman be important to you than me!'Her words were ringing in my ears. She tried to hurt Mom couple times, now is she after Naila, because she's my wife? I bet she'd had already done all her investigation on Naila. If I don't try to stop her, she might try to hurt her again. I need to do something soon.Naila's POV,Farhan is still distancing himself from us since yesterday. I should've just my mouth shut. Why do I have to be such a curious cat all the time?! But then, why did he even lie to me?We arrived at the office but Farhan didn't join us. He told Avanti that he was taking a minor detour before getting here.We made our way to the marketing department but my ears caught someone gossiping on the way
Kaif's POV,Naila was sitting on her new desk across me with an irritated expression on her face. God knows how much she's cursing me in her head right now.I had to do that to keep an eye on her at all times. First the chandelier accident and now the rumours. Ofcourse the rumours were circulating since before but, this time it felt like they were directed on her straight since she's working here. I even found out that Miss Juneja worked for Ridhima for a while too. How far is that woman willing to go?I can keep an eye on Naila at home and office. Now the only problem remains at college. Should I personally pick and drop her from now on? Maybe I should. During college hours may be that Farhan guy could take care of her. Shit! I have to depend on him now?! I can't even send a bodyguard as it will be too obvious.'Someone's jealous'My conscience mocked me. I snorted inwardly. Jealous...and me? Like hell I wou
Naila's POV,I laid on the bed digging my face in the pillow and sobbing. I couldn't understand why I felt soo hurt. He was telling the truth anyways. Maybe because I thought we were friends now at least, but I'm just a liability to him. The smile he gave me every time was also a hoax.Ridhima!Was it the same Ridhima? It can't be....She was the one who called him right? Why? Why call the guy who ruined your life and gave you such a deep scar? Why be soo bothered about me? I always thought it was strange.I heard a knock at the bedroom door."Hey, we're watching the movie right?""I'm not in the mood." I said without lifting my head off the pillow"Why what happened?""I don't feel good. Just go away!""Are you sick?"Look at that fake concern of his!"Yes, I think I'm getting m
Kaif's POV,(Follow content may be disturbing for some readers. Reader's discretion is advised.)FlashbackI took the wine glass from her hands as our fingers slightly brushed making me shiver. Her eyes weren't leaving mine."Go on....give it a try." She whispered and sat down beside me.I begged for forgiveness in my heart and took a sip. The red wine felt sweet at the tip of my tongue but later the combination of sour and bitter taste lingered in my mouth and the back of my throat."Is it good?" She asked."Um.... it's not bad. It's a new taste for me." I chuckled softly. She was sitting too close making me to lose the ability to think properly."Finish it then. If you like it.... I have an entire bottle u know."I don't know why, but I did what she asked and finished the glass in one breath. Ugh! The taste.....not so

It wasn't as big as Alam mansion but still quite huge. My hands were shaking as I pressed the bell. A security guard opened the gate."Yes?""Is Mr Ahuja home. I'm here to see him." I said.He observed me from head to toe."Sorry madam, Sir doesn't like to meet anyone. I'll have to ask you to leave." He said."I'm Naila Alam, his wife is a good friend of my Mother in law. He knows our family.... I need to speak about something important to him. Please..." I requested."Let me ask him. Wait here." He said and talked on the intercom."You can go inside madam." He said"Thankyou."I made my way to the door passing
