All Chapters of CheckMate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Miral immediately noticed that Aditya was looking at her phone. She picked up her phone and looked at him."I have to take this call," she muttered as she got up from the seat and walked out of the dining area.Aditya felt a bit pissed at Miral's sudden change of mood but he didn't react.Miral walked towards the balcony area and picked up the call."Yes, Naveen?" She spoke."What took you so long to pick up the phone?" Naveen questioned in a firm tone."I was having dinner with my husband," she answered.Naveen got shocked at Miral's answer. He felt uncomfortable when she mentioned the word husband."From when did you two start to bond?" He questioned."What's the work, Nav? I'm too hungry to answer these silly questions," she spoke in an irritated tone."I told you about the kid who's admitted to the hospital, right?" Naveen spoke."Yeah, so?" She answered."The kid is in ICU and in a life threatening situation. They're asking for two crore rupees, or they would report this to the p

"You're joking, right?" Miral questioned, faking laughter."Come on, why would I joke?" Aditya taunted."Have you gone mad? Do you want me to expose my Baba's scam? Why on earth would I ever do that?" She questioned, standing up."Because I am telling you to do so," Aditya winked."No. You don't understand. If I do this, the whole party would go against me. They will question me, they will question my loyalty. They will do everything to kick me out of power, and my family, Baba! They would never be able to bear this shock," Miral argued."Please. At least you don't talk about loyalty. Everyone in this political world knows how loyal Chandravanshi's are," Aditya taunted."Aditya, please," Miral spoke in a frustrated tone."Miral, please." Aditya mimicked her tone."Why are you doing this?" She questioned him."Oh come on! I didn't marry you to spend a happy married life with you. Where you will work and I will cook. Bleh!" He rolled his eyes.Miral looked at him as slowly her eyes were

Miral kept on staring at Aditya even after he walked out. At that moment, the terrible feeling she was going through vanished. She was consumed in Aditya's thoughts."What kind of a guy is he?" Miral questioned herself.She couldn't even understand what Aditya wanted, on one side, he cared for her, dared to protect her and stood for her even if meant going against his own family. But then, on the other side, he made sure her life was full of troubles and complications. He happily separated her from her family and didn't budge to trouble her even for a bit. Everything confused her more and more.Miral took off from work that day and decided to stay at home. She didn't have the courage to face the media or answer questions from anyone because her mind was a complete mess. She had to figure things out and mentally prepare herself.While she chose to remain unavailable, Media was bombarding Sakshi and Seerat with unlimited questions. They were searching for Miral and wanted to get a hold

Miral returned home post work, she kept her bag on the table and sat on the couch.Aditya looked at her and was surprised. He thought that Miral would be extremely pissed off and would lash at him as soon as she would return from work, but neither did she look frustrated, nor did she look like she was in a mood to fight with him.He slowly walked towards her and sat beside her."I'm tired," Miral muttered."Hmm," Aditya nodded."Can I have one beer today? I have been through a lot and I need to have it," she snubbed.Aditya nodded, he got up and walked towards the fridge. He pulled out a bottle of beer from the fridge and walked towards Miral. He handed over the bottle to her.Miral looked at him and gave him a mild smile while taking the bottle. She quickly opened the bottle and took a gulp of the drink and sighed."My own family has turned into my foe," Miral chuckled.Aditya didn't say a word."Well! All thanks to you," she spoke, turning towards him."I had no idea your family wou

"What?"Aditya was shocked by Miral's move. He couldn't believe for a second that she would do this."Our party is eager to welcome you. They will love to have you on board, that's why you just have to sign these papers," Miral winked."I would never side with the Chandravanshis. No matter what it takes," Aditya growled in anger."Who Chandravanshis?" Miral pouted.Aditya looked at Miral, completely surprised. Miral smirked."Have you forgotten? My darling husband. My baba isn't at the party anymore. He has been sacked... And about me, I am no more a Chandravanshi. I am Miral Shekhawat," she spoke, taunting him.Aditya stood there, speechless, thinking about the perfect counter to Miral's actions but he couldn't think of any."You're in the news headlines. You're considered as an outcast, good for nothing, and what not. It's been said that your father doesn't even trust you. So tell me, how will you handle this all? How are you going to prove your worth? By doing nothing and proving t
