*The votes and reads on the last chapters are so freaking disappointing I can't tell you, your messages make my heart fill with warmth and love but seeing the number of reads, I get disheartened at the same time, so let me tell you, the book will be ended if it goes on like this and I'm not freakin' bluffing.*

Neil's POV

Seeing her at peace makes me content. The moment she got back into my arms was the best in my entire f*cked up life, it wasn't for her I'd have killed him right then and there but I didn't want her to see my devil side, not yet at least. Seeing her afraid of me is the last thing I want though I've doubt she would. For God's sake, The woman lying in my arms by my side escaped a psychotic kidnapper all by herself and drove herself to our mansion in the mid of the night all alone.

And as much as I'm proud of her I feel pathetic for myself, I couldn't protect her, that fu*ker barged into my house and swept her away from my premises.

Miss Mehta's stars would know what I'd have done if she hadn't come in front of me that moment. I'd have killed that bastard, f*ker dared to lie to me.

When we reached the farmhouse, Dwayne's armed men surrounded us. F*cking cliché! After ending their game, I went ballistic when I didn't find her. Hadn't it been her earring from the evening of the ball that I had held tightly in my hand, I'd have killed all my men but I knew she wouldn't have liked that. 

This woman who has unknowingly wrapped me around her little finger, God I love her so much. My little tigress!

Remorse, guilt and pain I was completely numb to these emotions for ten years but in one moment she made me feel all of them at once. Hurt was an understating word to describe the amount of distress I felt when she refused to be mine.

But then I understood when she confessed to me and once again the amount of respect I had for her increased. She was right, yes or no I'd basically forced her to marry me, I didn't ask her consent which was completely wrong of me.

Damn you, Neil Khanna!

Even after knowing what she went through all her childhood, you hurt the only person who cares for you except those three musketeers. 

I've to amend my mistake because I won't let her go away ever in my life.

I gently stroked her soft hair behind her ear and placed her head gently on the pillow. 

"James, study. Now.", I called him once I was out of my room. I walked to Rosayline and told her to get some Advil and some fruits for her once she gets up. She is going to have the worst headache judging from the amount of alcohol she drank.

Already she manages to create havoc in my life, Liza would make her more efficient. Women!

A knock came on the door and I dumped Sullivan's file back into the drawer. I've to make sure to keep that man away from her. Father or not, he doesn't deserve to see her after making her childhood a mess. I'm not making any decision for her, but as long as she doesn't ask me about him I won't let him have any clue about her whereabouts.

"James, Orphanage updates. Now."

"Yes sir, the night itself when you came from Ma'am's house and told to reconstruct the orphanage, I gave the contract to the most efficient builder of the country. It's nearly done. We assume it will be done by today."

"I don't want your assumptions, James. I want the precise details.", My chilling gaze was enough to indicate what I wanted and my bodyguard for 8 years knew it.

"I'll make sure it's done by today, Mr Khanna sir."

A loud noise came from outside disrupting the silence of my study followed by a shout and laugh. What is happening, this is my house, not a f*cking amusement park.

I moved out of the study, James following closely and the scene in front of me was quite... comical? I've got jokers in disguise of best friends, as much as I hate to say that these three are the only people I can tolerate.

"You bastard, get your butt out of this house this instant or so help me God I'll make sure you end up on a freakin' stretcher.", Liza screamed clutching her head between her palms.

"Damn woman you don't have to be so violent.", Reece argued still laughing. Beside him, I could see Ivan who was trying hard to control his laugh but his efforts were futile which made her furious, she took the vacuum cleaner's hose and ran behind him. Where did she get that thing from?

"What is happening here?", I asked in a chilling voice and all the ruckus halted instantly. 

"This dumbhead donkey here see what he f*cking did", her face contorted with anger and displeasure.

"Language Liza, I expect you to behave like a decent lady.", I threw a chilling gaze at her.

"You hypocrite Khanna.", a voice I know very well and the only woman who had the audacity to shut me up came. "You can curse and be a gentleman and she can't, Liza I'm with you, curse all you want but first tell me what's happening?"

"Oh, my saviour.", Liza threw her arms around Miss Mehta and she patted her shoulder smiling."See what that bastard did.", Miss Mehta's face contorted due to the choice of Liza's words. Ha! she didn't let me stop her, so now enjoy the colourful language Miss Feminist! "He f*cking painted my hair blue."

My eyes went to her hair which was definitely coloured in a royal blue colour. I looked at Miss Mehta who was touching her hair, her eyes blinking with confusion. "Reece did this?", she asked her who nodded frantically, Liza's eyes were filled with tears of frustration.

"That's royal blue to be specific Liza.", I uttered and this made Miss Mehta glare at me. 

"As if that makes a whole lot different.", she snapped at me still trying to calm Liza.

"Calm down, I'll see what we can do with your hair. There's nothing youtube can't solve."

Liza hugged Miss Mehta as if her life depended on her who smiled in return. The f*cking smile always takes my breath away.

Someone coughed beside me, "Man you are whipped as hell." I glared at him and that just made his smirk widen. That son of a bisc-wait when did I start using such profanities. This woman is getting in my head.

I looked back to the front and the scene in front made my lips twitch, this girl surely will be the death of me. There she sat in the middle of Reece and Liza scolding him for his absurd action just like how a mother scolds her children when caught doing some mischief.

She'll be a good mother.

The thought alone tugged my chest that this woman will soon be my wife. I have to make my move as soon as possible.

"Okay, children the wedding planner has come, so stop fighting and behave like the good civil mature adults you are.", mother scolded but her soft voice didn't help it look like a plea. "Neil will you, you also join us?", she asked hesitantly. She thinks that it was me who distanced himself from them but it was the other way round and the hesitance in her voice made it perfectly visible.

"No mother I've things to do, people to see, business to finish."

"Ah! In other words, things to end, people to glare and business to destroy ...of others of course.", My little tigress scoffed and I shot a cold glare at her.

"Miss Mehta I'm unquestionably occupied."

"Oh, I couldn't have known. You're so busy you'd put the Prime minister of the country to shame."

Her way with sarcasm is on some other level."You don't worry about him Ma'am, he'll stay, won't you Mr Khanna?", she winked at me discreetly. F*cking wink! My jaw clenched sensing her boldness.

"How many times did I tell you not to call me ma'am, I'm your mother Avni, call me Mumma, mom or whatever but no ma'am."Miss Mehta nodded and mother bloomed like a flower. 

Before I could interrupt a young man entered the house. Mother greeted him and I realized he was the man who was supposed to be our wedding planner. This kid? He'll plan our wedding?

He proceeded towards Miss Mehta and she smiled at her. Why the f*ck is she smiling at him? She had never smiled so shyly in front of me, all she ever did was fire sarcasm.

"Why hello my lady.", that man approached her. F*cker had the audacity to flirt with my girl in front of me. My jaw clenched with anger.

Goddamn! Am I getting jealous?

Since when did I start getting furious at such petty things but... nothing related to her is petty.

F*ck it!

I marched towards them coolly, no one needs to know I was growing such stupid emotions.

"And who you might be?", I said glaring icily at the man who was shamelessly looking at my Miss Mehta.

"Oh Mr Khanna, it's such a pleasure to meet you.", the man said smiling. Smiling face, aren't we?

"I wish I could say the same.", I stated coolly.

Miss Mehta stomped on my foot but it didn't even make me flinch.

"Haha haha, you have such a weird humour, honey.", she laughed awkwardly tucking her elbow around my arm.

"Stop being rude.", she whispered in my ear. "He was just joking, weren't you darling?", she glared at me sideways telling the man who had a stupid grin on his face.

"Yeah, I suppose it was a brief oral narrative with a climactic humorous twist .", the man looked at me confused out of mind.

"Looks like you've met my son and daughter to be, Mr Ares.", mother said and the man raised his brow at Miss Mehta who gave a sarcastic yes.

"Oh of course Mrs Khanna I've met your son and to be Mrs Khanna.", he stressed the last two syllables more than they were needed.

 A deep blush coated Miss Mehta's cheeks on hearing the emphasis and my heart tugged feeling her pressing beside me to hide her burning face.

F*cking Adorable!
