                Her face was flushed crimson red when I asked her to read it. I would have never done this. She's my wife. I've every f****** right. She's a married woman. She should know about s**.       I walk out of her room. I need to settle my beast first. I'm seething. My heart is pumping blood fiercely with the need to shove all the bullets in the old pelvis' head. How the f*** He dared to try it twice.        Vikas and one of my men, Antonio join me in the hallway toward his office's room. I've asked Achraj to be there with his brother Hardwin. My muscles flex as I fist my hands. Kala opens the door for me. I really appreciate this man.        "Son! Achraj informed me that you've called an urgent meeting." Gagandeep says as he gets on his feet. His smile never abandons his face.       I grind my teeth. I wanna protect h

        My arms and cheeks are covered with Haldi and milk' mixer' paste. Saavi and Sim are smiling ear to ear. But I'm not sure about me. I don't know what I'll do when I'll part from him after divorce. He has promised me a house. I can do a teacher's job. I can come back home. My family will take me in. But what next! They will think about my remarriage. I don't want an arranged marriage. I glance at my father. He smiles at me. I smile back. They don't know I'm married. Yuvaan could tell them. He did not. My family is happy but I could not push away unsettling feelings when I found fear in my father's eyes. When I wake up every morning, I'm used to them being around me, this will change! New life, though it's temporary, I'm scared. He's not just a businessman, what I was thinking. I don't care what my father does behind my back, but he's a good person. He loves my mother. He loves his kids. I nod my head at my father, beckoning h

My enemies are waiting to ambush. They'll seek to attack during the reception. I'm trying to be soft with her which is clearly not my nature, nor my brothers. They're smiling, pampering her because she's their queen. Our empire is run by three lions, by us. I'm the eldest one. Her family kept the truth of this dark world away from her, I wanna keep it concealed from her too. I got the gist behind this doing, but they brought her up without giving her any training. I can swear, she hasn't seen a gun and a pocket knife. I'm taking note of her every small gesture. She's naive. She doesn't even know what I've planned for her.        She has to gain my trust if she wants her freedom. I don't think that I can act according to her thinking. I suppose she'll understand in some way, of course in a polite way. There's no fu*king way, I'll use violence with her. Arya and Ryan are protective, they're bound to a blood oath. She'll be safe with them. I still don't trus

                        My feet freeze when I hear her clearly. The determination pierces my heart. " I'll kill myself." She says again.        Her grip on my arm begins to lose. I hoist her up. Her eyes close and her head falls back. She stops crying. I've heard people crying before. Her cries cut my heart deep. I ascend the stairs but stop.        " What happened to her? " Arya asks.        " I don't know, " I've seen girls with fighting skills. She knows a little but uses it fully.        " I hear her saying... " He couldn't say a word. Death is a companion to us.        I quicken my pace toward the clinic. My glance lands on Devon. His nose is bleeding. I would have killed someone if anyone dared to touch my brother. She broke his nose in front of me. She sneaked out. I shou

                 I never regret my actions. Today, I felt it because of my brother. I'm always protective. My own brother has hurt my wife.        My wife! I want to keep her safe, protect her, I fucking hate it when she cries. I can guess. No one made her cry before. She loves little things, she doesn't need expensive things to be happy.       " We can't join you for breakfast tomorrow. We need to see business. Local mobs are creating problems." Arya says.       " Hm, I'm coming with you. " I announce.       " We're kings. He'll handle it. " Ryan says.       They exchange a look. I decipher them from the core of my heart. They are disturbed by the incident this morning. I can feel the tension in the air.        " Boss, " Maggi knocks on the door, " Dinner is ready.
