Chapter 12 — What She Wasn’t Meant to Hear

The car moved through the city like it belonged to it. I kept my eyes on the road ahead even though the driver didn’t need direction. The message sat in my pocket like a second pulse. *She performed well. Shame it won’t matter.*

Riya sat beside me, quiet. The demand she had made still hung between us. *Tell me the rest. All of it.* I hadn’t answered. Not yet. There were calls that needed to be made first, and I would not have this conversation with hal

Chapter Note Riya wanted Aryan to tell her the truth. She just wasn't expecting to hear part of it through a locked door. This chapter finally pulls back the curtain on the world Aryan has kept hidden—and Riya is about to discover that being Mrs. Rajvansh comes with far more than a twelve-month contract. Some secrets are better left unheard. But once you hear them, there’s no going back.

    Chapter 14 — The First ConsequenceI did not sleep.The study stayed dark except for the low light on the desk. Kabir had left an hour earlier with the updated rotation list. I sat with the second phone in front of me and waited.The call arrived at 3:17 a.m.“Boss.”Raghav’s voice was flatter than usual.“Speak.”“Eastern dock warehouse. Shipment never left. Two of ours are down. One is critical. The product is gone.”“How many hit the location?”“Six. Professional. In and out in under four minutes. They knew the exact window.”“Survivors?”“Three of theirs. Holding them at the secondary site.”“Keep them breathing. I’m on my way.”I ended the call and stood.Kabir was already in the doorway. He had not gone home.“Eastern dock,” I said.“Car is ready. Detail is doubled.”I looked toward the hallway that led to the guest suite.“She stays on this floor. No exceptions. If she asks where I am, tell her business emergency. Nothing more.”Kabir nodded once.I left the apartment.---I wo

    Chapter 13 — The Shape of the TruthI remained standing for a moment after the door closed. Riya sat on the edge of the bed exactly as I had left her—spine straight, hands folded, eyes steady. She was waiting.I pulled the chair from the corner and sat across from her.“The contract is three years,” I said. “Not one. The public story is that we are a newly married couple. The private requirement is that the marriage remains intact and credible for the full term. The first year is the pressure point. If we look unstable or temporary in public, it creates openings. That is why the boardroom mattered today. That is why the messages started the moment you appeared at my side.”Riya didn’t interrupt.“What you heard,” I continued, “was not corporate language. I run more than the company that carries my name. There is an organization beneath it. The men on those calls answer to me. I do not explain that structure to the board. I do not explain it to the public. Until twenty minutes ago, I d

    Chapter 12 — What She Wasn’t Meant to HearThe car moved through the city like it belonged to it. I kept my eyes on the road ahead even though the driver didn’t need direction. The message sat in my pocket like a second pulse. *She performed well. Shame it won’t matter.*Riya sat beside me, quiet. The demand she had made still hung between us. *Tell me the rest. All of it.* I hadn’t answered. Not yet. There were calls that needed to be made first, and I would not have this conversation with half my attention still on the street.When we reached the private garage beneath the tower, I told the driver to wait. Security peeled off to their positions. I guided Riya into the elevator that only opened to my floor. She didn’t speak. Neither did I.Inside the apartment, the lights were already on. Kabir stood near the study door, tablet in hand, expression unreadable. He inclined his head once.“I’ll be in the study,” I told Riya. “Give me twenty minutes.”She studied my face for a second lon

  • The Mafia billionaire's Revenge Bride    Chapter 11 Aryan

    Chapter 11 AryanThe car stopped at the private entrance.I stepped out first, then turned and offered Riya my hand. She took it without hesitation. The contact was brief, practical, but I felt the slight coolness of her fingers against mine before she released them. Security opened the glass doors. The lobby of the tower was all pale stone and quiet power, the kind of space designed to remind people who belonged and who did not.Riya walked beside me as if she had been doing it for years.We took the private elevator to the thirty-second floor. The silence inside was dense. I watched her reflection in the mirrored wall—chin level, shoulders set, expression unreadable. Whatever fear she had carried the night before was locked down now. I respected the control even as it unsettled me.The elevator doors opened onto the executive floor. An aide was already waiting.“They’re all inside,” he said quietly. “Your uncle arrived twenty minutes early.”Of course he had.I placed a hand at the

  • The Mafia billionaire's Revenge Bride    Chapter 10 Aryan

    Chapter 10 AryanI kept seeing her the way she had been at the beginning.The first night, when she signed the contract with hands that still shook. The way her eyes had tracked every exit in the room as if she expected the walls to close in. The quiet, almost desperate calculation behind every answer she gave me—how much this would cost her, how long she could last, whether the money was worth the cage. She had looked like a woman who had already decided the world was dangerous and was only trying to survive the next hour.Then the dinner. The message. The car ride home while she tried not to shake.And now, less than twenty-four hours later, she was downstairs in my study reading the names of the people who wanted her gone, deciding she would learn them until she could recite them in her sleep.The speed of the change unsettled me more than the threat itself.I did not sleep.After I left her in the study, I went back to my rooms and stood at the window for a long time, watching th

  • The Mafia billionaire's Revenge Bride    Chapter 9- Riya

    **Chapter 9** **Riya**I didn’t sleep.The gown lay discarded on the chair like shed skin. I sat on the edge of the bed in the dark silk robe Isabel had left folded in the closet, knees drawn up, phone face-down on the nightstand as if distance could make the words less real.*You wear the dress well. Does he know someone in this room wants you gone?*Every time I closed my eyes I saw the long table, the ice-blonde woman’s polite smile, the way Aryan’s hand had tightened over mine until the bones ached. Someone had been close enough to watch me wear the dress. Close enough to enjoy the fact that I would read those words while still seated beside him.A soft knock came at 6:12 a.m.I didn’t answer. The door opened anyway.Aryan stepped inside already dressed—black shirt, sleeves rolled once, the same heavy watch. He looked like he had never needed sleep in his life. His gaze moved over the untouched bed, the gown, me.“You didn’t sleep.”“Neither did you.”He closed the door and stay
