CHAPTER 11: A STRANGE MORNING
◆Khushi's P.O.V.◆"Why am I even crying?" I brushed the tears away while muttering things."He doesn't care. I shouldn't do it either. I only have to put up with him for the next two years. Then I'm free." Putting consolation words for myself didn't seem to work, but I didn't give up."I'll get a better man after the divorce."The abrupt doorbell ring startled me, jolting me out of my reverie. I made sure I didn't look distraught by wiping my face with a handkerchief. Thanks to the expensive water-proof make-up products, my look didn't smudge.Making a casual face and taking two deep breaths, I opened the door and discovered Uncle Hemant was standing there with a waiter along with a food trolley."Ma'am, I'm sure you're worn out. Please have a meal and rest." Uncle Hemant smiled as he walked inside, followed by the waiter.After the incident that had just transpired, I had no appetite left in my stomach. I simply desired to be alone. But then I assessed why I would sleep hungry becau

CHAPTER 12: WELCOME TO NEW HOME
It was my first time flying on a plane. Especially on a private jet. I couldn't believe Darsh had taken his private jet only to fly from Delhi to Kolkata and back. I was definitely getting a sense of how insanely wealthy my husband was.I couldn't recall how many times I clung to Darsh since I was terrified the jet might crash at any moment, killing me. Particularly when it took off.It was a bit humiliating at first, but it never got worse since Darsh never judged me. Instead, he sat right next to me, supporting me indirectly to make the experience less frightening for me.Darsh earned even more of my respect. How could he not?We were immediately surrounded by paparazzi as soon as we arrived at Delhi airport. Thanks to Darsh's bodyguards, who successfully prevented them from reaching us until we arrived safely at Darsh's matte black, luxurious car.While Darsh and I sat in the back seat, Uncle Hemant took the seat beside the driver. And it began to move towards our destination, Dars

CHAPTER 13: TRUE LOVE
◆Darsh's P.O.V.◆As I saw Khushi stepping upwards to the 1st floor with the maids, I headed for the garden where Akash was waiting for me.When I arrived there, I spotted Akash engrossed in his phone. He was probably chatting with one of his numerous girlfriends. Uncle Hemant was monitoring the servant who was serving Akash tea."Haven't I told you not to appear at my door without informing me?" I said, occupying the seat opposite of him. Akash raised his head and placed his phone back inside his denim. Uncle Hemant sent the servant inside because Akash's conversation with me would be confidential."I missed my brother. So I paid him a visit. Is it a sin, huh?" He uttered dramatically."Save that performance for the camera! Don't you know I'm the focus of attention these days? What if a paparazzi caught you sneaking in here?" He seemed unfazed by my words."Fine. Fine. I'll let you know before my next visit." Akash muttered."That's what you say every time." I rolled my eyes at his s

CHAPTER 14: SHOOTING STAR
◆Khushi's P.O.V.◆After ascending the stairway and crossing the aisle with the help of the maids, I arrived at my room. The sight astounded me. The room was larger than the living room at my parents' house.The white-painted room was adorned with a bookshelf on the right. Beside it was a designer study table and chair, a spacious bed in the middle of the room, and a couch opposite it. A window directly across from the door was draped with blue curtains. When the maids opened them, sunlight flowed in, illuminating the room.I observed a closet on the left edge of the room. Opening it, I found it stuffed with all types of women's clothing, shoes, jewellery, and cosmetics.I got a dress out of the wardrobe, and it seemed to be exactly my size. It reminded me of when a woman from Darsh's side asked for my measurements to make my reception gown before the wedding.Did Darsh do it?"Hemant sir had the entire room adorned. Along with the wardrobe." A maid commented as if she had read my mind

CHAPTER 15: MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY
Why do well-off people host so many gatherings?It was the sixth party I had gone to with Darsh that month, and I started crying in my brain. Every week there was a party for someone he knew. Even though he mostly discussed business there, I had to keep a courteous and respectful demeanour the entire time, which was exhausting.I was abandoned by Darsh every time I went to those parties, so I just sat in the corner and observed everyone gossiping about useless issues or bragging about their latest possessions."Hi, Mrs. Sinha. Nice to see you here." A very familiar voice called for me. I whirled around to find Akash, standing a modest distance away from me with a mischievous smile on his lips."Hi, Mr. Malhotra." I gave him a feigned smile in return and muttered, "It would be best if we didn't chat here.""Oh, so, Brother had already ordered you to keep it a secret, huh?"I nodded at his question."I see. And where is your husband, by the way? Why are you by yourself in this place?""I

CHAPTER 16: STRANGELY DARSH
I dashed towards his room after quickly shutting the window. Even though I was sure I was moving fast, the room seemed very far away tonight.Right before Darsh's bedroom, I came to the end of my sprint. I recalled Uncle Hemant's words just as I was about to enter."I advise you not to approach Master Darsh for anything tonight."I'd previously witnessed Darsh's wrath. And it was painful to be the victim of his fury. Therefore, I paused to consider if I should contact Uncle Hemant and return to my bedroom. However, having seen him collapse earlier, I couldn't stand the worry. Finally, disregarding everything else, I hurried inside.I found Darsh motionless on the ground, a glass shard scattered on the floor in front of him. Without wasting any more time, I reached closer to Darsh and attempted to lift him from the floor."Wh—who?" He grumbled, rejecting my help. "Stop...Stop touching me.""I'm not intentionally touching you. Shut up!" While scolding him, I barely managed to get his f

CHAPTER 17: RED ROSES
I perfectly fulfilled my obligations as time passed. Darsh and I pretended to be a couple deeply in love as we attended several interviews and parties. Every time we told somebody about our fictional love story, I cringed.Unless I went out for a party or interview, I stayed at home and wandered around the house to pass my time, as I wasn't allowed to go out without Darsh.The moment I named it, everything I needed at home materialised. And the unhealthily sick life seemed like a prison.Darsh didn't think twice about treating me like a prisoner because he was so self-conscious about his image.Sometimes, I just called my parents, Mandira, and talked to them for hours, or I would sit on the roof and watch the world go by. I wanted to talk to Sushant, who was abroad. Darsh departed early and came back after midnight. However, we ate dinner together. The only times I could see him were at breakfast and dinner.Thus, I stayed up late every night for him and awoke early every morning."Is

CHAPTER 18: INDIFFERENT
Chapter 18: Indifferent Slowly opening my eyes, I felt my eyes heavy as I woke up from my deep slumber. Suddenly, I got struck by last night's memories. The fears, the regrets, and the sobs were all I could remember from last night before dozing off to sleep.The bitter experience ruined the beautiful morning as soon as I woke up. My feet couldn't even touch the floor when someone knocked on the door.For a second, it felt like Darsh had come to apologise for last night since he went overboard with the bouquet. But Sia's call from the outside shattered my illusion. "Khushi ma'am, Master Darsh has asked you to attend breakfast downstairs."I scoffed at my own assumptions. What a fool I was to expect, yet again, for Darsh to apologise to me."I'll be there in a minute," I responded while getting out of bed. Entering the attached bathroom, I stood before the mirror and affirmed, "You're strong, Khushi. No man should have this much control over your happiness. Cheer up!"Forcing a smile

CHAPTER 19: AND EGREGIOUS OCCURRENCE
I was alone at the party once again. After cutting the cake and popping the champagne, Darsh was engaged in a conversation with his friends and coworkers.I found it amusing that there were so many people at the party. He was coherently popular. Especially among women, since I saw a lot of them flirting with him despite knowing he was married.I felt a bit less awkward until Uncle Hemant was with me. However, he got a call and went elsewhere to answer it, so I was back on my own.Soon after, I saw Anannya huddling up next to my husband. Darsh's face carried his usual expression; uninterested, but he didn't protest having his space invaded by her.I averted my eyes elsewhere and concentrated on something else. Anything but those two."Hey, Khushi." An instantly recognisable voice demanded my attention. I shifted my vision to the right, and it turned out to be Akash."Why are you avoiding me?" He grumbled, holding the alcohol glass."Why would I avoid you?""Really?" I responded by nod

CHAPTER 20: SEDUCTION
◆Darsh's P.O.V.◆It was my birthday. And I hosted a party to celebrate it at a renowned banquet.My wife, Khushi, was the first to wish me birthday greetings. It was a little unexpected, but I was nonetheless pleased. Her present, however, was totally unacceptable. But I was aware that she was unlikely to have understood the reason for my ugly response.I should say sorry.I had mentally prepared a sincere apology before I arrived early at the dining hall.However, time passed, and Khushi still hadn't arrived for breakfast. Perforce, I sent a maid I had always seen Khushi stay close to call her down.Finally, when she descended to the hall and took her usual seat, I cleared my throat and opened my mouth to express my apology."Last night—"Though, My focus was diverted to another side when I saw Anannya ambling in our direction.She carried a bouquet of yellow roses while maintaining her usual stunning appearance.She handed me the bouquet and wished me a happy birthday, but Khushi go
