With wide open eyes shehnaaz was standing there shocked. She looked around like a curious little child.

Her eyes moved to sidharth who was standing there all calm with expression less face. She couldn't depict anything looking at his face.

She waited for him to look at her but he didn't.
She didn't like it but kept quiet. Her gaze turned to her front again.

They were standing in the middle of the jungle. A huge brownish gate could be seen infront of them with strong protective boundaries around.  A marvelous mansion could be seen behind those boundaries.

Sidharth looked at her observing her reaction silently. Sliding his hand into hers, he held it firmly taking her attention.

The moment her gaze turned towards him, he looked away.

Pulling her along with himself sidharth walked towards the huge gate. His eyes scanned the place for good minutes. She could feel his hold tightening on her hand.

She had no idea what was happening. Why they were there? Whose house or should be clearly said mansion was it? Why sidharth took her there? What was going in his mind?

She looked at him being curious. Her eyes followed his gaze which was stuck at something. A newly polished wooden name plate was tucked at the side of that huge gate which said: THE RAICHANDS.

Her curious eyes turned into an understanding and at the same time a confusing gaze as she read the name.

It was Raichand's mansion. What did it mean? Sidharth's family? Was this his real house? If it was a yes than why it was in this jungle. Why he doesn't live here then? Moreover everything looked so new like it was build recently.

Her mind was filled with questions and only he could answer her questions. She needed to know everything now. The questions ringing in her mind were taking away her peace with the suspense.

Sidharth took a deep breath moving his gaze away from the name plate and pushed the gate open revealing a simply beautiful mansion to them.

"Beautiful" a sweet voice said looking at the house.

"You liked it?" another voice asked. It was strong yet it had softness.

"Beautiful" shehnaaz whispered looking at the house infront of her eyes.

Sidharth looked at her. His eyes felt moist as her simple "Beautiful" word did something to him. It was same like hers.

Hiding the moistness in his eyes back he observed her. She was looking at the house with adoration. It was simple and beautiful.

Looking at her once sidharth moved inside taking her along. Taking the stairs built at the entrance they moved towards the main door. The house was so elegantly built that shehnaaz was lost in its peaceful beauty.

Standing in front of the main door sidharth looked at it for a moment. His hand moved towards the door and his fingers caressed it slightly. Closing his eyes he felt it in peace.

Shehnaaz looked at him curiously. It was something deep for him. She could understand seeing his expressions.

There was a feeling of familiarity, belongingness on his face. She could see he was remembering something.

"Baba" a small little baby said cutely in his baby voice.

A slight smile adorned his lips as a vision of a small little kid calling his father flashed infront of his eyes.

"Baba" a whisper left his mouth following the baby voice of that small kid.

Shehnaaz quietly observed him. The slight smile on his face brought a peaceful smile on her face too.

He said baba. It was just a mere whisper but she heard it.

Was his family there inside? He never talked about his family. She had no idea about them.

"Sidharth" she held his arm whispering his name softly. Her touch brought him back. Looking around he realised what was he doing.

Rubbing his face with his hands, sidharth took a deep breath. He slightly pushed the door opening it.

"Come" holding her hand again sidharth said looking at her. Her eyes moved to him as she felt relief. Finally he looked at her and uttered something.

It was so difficult for her to take his ignorance. Knowing it was all her mistake she couldn't help but feel a deep pain inside.

Nodding her head she smiled at him. Her eyes were moist which he could easily see. Turning his gaze he tightened his grip on her hand.

He was hurt. There was so much going inside him but he couldn't see her tears. Her tears could easily make him weak in front of her. He did not want this for now.

Taking their right steps they both stepped inside together. Her small baby steps followed his every step as they moved in the living room.

Cladded in that red sari with the sindoor and the manglasutra of his name, she stepped into Raichand's house as Mrs. Shehnaaz Sidharth Raichand.

His heart felt at peace. A feeling of completeness ran through him. His wife, his queen was in his kingdom now.

His wife!! Forever his!!

Her eyes roamed around the living room adoring the place. The interiors spoke class and luxury.

Walking around she admired everything like a curious child. She realised that the house was all empty. There was no one except them.

His family? She knew nothing.

Sidharth observed her in silence. He knew she had questions he needed to answer but not now. There was something more important for now which she was making difficult for him.

He will make everything all right soon!!

He stood there looking at the place with his hands inside his pant pockets. There was nothing same but still everything he felt belonged to.

His eyes roamed in the whole living room while some visions flashed in front of his eyes.

"This is our new home" a strong voice filled with love echoed in the house. The voice was as strong as his own.

"We will live here?" a little baby asked curiously looking around. The place seemed new to him.

"Yes baby, did you like this new house?" the same strong voice asked hoping to get a positive response.

"This is beautiful" the baby smiled looking at the new surroundings.

"Sidharth" he heard her sweet voice which brought him back again.

A painful smile came on his lips seeing that vision but he was quick to hide it.

He looked at her who was standing close to him now looking at him concerned and confused at the same time.

"Ye tumhara ghar hai?" she asked hesitantly. She had no idea about the house she was standing in. The name plate outside was making her think it to be his home.

Sidharth looked at her for a moment and next holding her wrist he pulled her towards himself.

"Humara ghar" whispered sidharth close to her face. His strong voice made her voice died in her throat.

A strong possessiveness she could see in his eyes. It was always there but since last few hours she was feeling it too intense.

Without any further question she nodded her head at him. She wanted her soft sidharth back to whom she could say anything she wanted.

This sidharth was difficult for her to handle. He was strongly dominant without any softness in his eyes yet she knew she was safe. He wouldn't hurt her.

"Chalo" holding her hand sidharth led her upstairs. She followed him silently as usual.

She obeyed his every order. It never felt wrong to her nor it was any kind of pressure for her. His demands and her submission, it was all natural for both of them.

It was one of the reasons too that sidharth couldn't take her going against his words. He was more than patient with her but he couldn't tolerate any lies from her.

______________________________________

Reaching upstairs sidharth walked towards his right and soon they were standing in front of a room.

Opening the door sidharth pulled her inside. She did not need to know whom the room belonged to. The classic black interior was enough for her to know that it was his room.

Why did he like black so much? It scared her the same way she got scared in their home.

Their home!! Why they were not there? Why did he bring her here? Were they not going back?

How did he have this huge mansion? His work couldn't get him this luxury. This was what she thought!!

Luxury never mattered to her. She never thought him to be some millionaire to spend her life with. But the realisation of him having this huge mansion filled her mind with questions again.

"Sidharth" he turned towards her raising his eye brow.

"Ye ghar, i mean tumhare paas itne paise, umm..i.." she fumbled not knowing what to ask and how to ask? She did not want him to feel bad but she needed to know too.

Looking at her with his strong intense gaze sidharth took a step towards her. Her step moved back seeing his intense gaze.

He walked towards her till her back touched the wall behind. The way he was looking at her, she could feel herself shivering.

Keeping his both hands around her sidharth caged her in his arms. Her heart thudded against her chest as his strong gaze made her breathes high.

"Sidharth Raichand k paas itne paise hain k tum Shergills ka pura business kharid le" his dangerously calm voice sent shivers in her body. His words made her look at him in shock.

Whatever he said didn't matter to her but the way he said, she seriously didn't like it. For her, both the surnames had equal importance now.

She was the daughter of Shergills but now she was the wife of a Raichand.

"Hum yahan kyun aaye hain?" ignoring his words she looked into his eyes asking the question which was eating her up.

A totally new place, new surroundings and new house, she needed to know. He was there with her. That was sufficient for her to live in that totally isolated house in the jungle but at least she had to ask the reason.

Their other house was also in the forest. Why did he choose these jungles to live in? These totally isolated places!!

"Hum ab yahin rahange" looking into his eyes sidharth announced in a cold yet strong voice.

She looked at him shocked and surprised. The place was so far from Mumbai. It would take more than 2 hours to reach mumbai everyday. All her work was there.

"Sidharth hum yahan kaise rahenge. humara purana ghar?" she asked holding his arm.

"Ab yahi humara ghar hai naaz aur hum yahin rahenge" declared sidharth authoritatively.

His mobile rang taking their attention. Moving back sidharth took out his mobile. He looked at the name flashing on screen. Without looking at her he moved out of the room.

______________________________________

Looking around she was observing everything in the room. The room spoke dangerous calm just like him. The more sidharth was calm,the more dangerous he was.

The room door opened and she saw sidharth entering inside. His jaw was clenched while his fist was tight ready to punch something.

Her eyes moved to his deep ocean eyes and she could feel herself shivering seeing his red eyes screaming anger.

Taking long steps sidharth moved towards her. Holding her wrist tightly sidharth pushed her back against the wall.

Caging her in between himself and the wall sidharth looked at her with his dangerous gaze.
His hands held her both wrists against the wall.

"Sidharth kya..." her words died in her mouth as sidharth leaned his face dangerously close to hers. Her breaths and her words got stuck in her throat feeling his hot breaths on her face.

"Uss din cafe mai kya hua tha naaz. What did that bloody sameer say?" his voice was as calm and deep as ocean while his eyes were dark and red which could make her see burning anger inside him.

He was talking about cafe. Her face went pale in fear. Did he get to know something? What should she do now? She didn't know how to deal with him?

His intense gaze observed her every reaction. It was enough of him letting her hide things from him. He wasn't going to tolerate this anymore.

He wanted to keep his harsh side hidden from her but her lying to him, her hiding things from him was making him loose his calm, his patience which was only for her.

"Sidharth i..i was....." she was fumbling not knowing what to answer him.

Her trying to make an excuse again agitated him beyond limits. Why this girl was testing his patience? Why she couldn't just open her mouth and speak the truth. It was always simple for her. Then why she couldn't do the same now.

"I want truth naaz. No more lies!!" sidharth warned her sternly while his hold tightened on her wrists.

She stayed silent looking down. His anger crossed its limits.

Pulling her towards himself sidharth held her arms behind her back tightly making their chests collide with each other.

His hold was painfully tight on her wrists but she stayed quiet.

Holding her both arms with his one hand sidharth held her jaw with the other hand making her look into his eyes.

"I am asking you one last time naaz. Khud bata do. Agar maine khud pta lgaya to kusi k liye achha nhi hoga" sidharth uttered every word in extreme harshness while his tight hold made her bite her inner cheeks to control her wince.

She could feel the warning in his words. Seeing his intense anger she knew, he meant every word which he said.

What should she do now? Should she tell him everything? Why if he had to go to jail? She wouldn't be able to tolerate that.

"Naaz, agar aaj bhi nahi bataya to yaad rakhna. Zindagi bhar tumhare sath rahunga lekin paas nhi" sidharth said coldly. She couldn't see any emotion on his face or in his eyes anymore.

He knew he had to do this to make her speak. She wasn't understanding that these lies, these hidings would lead her to danger only.

He wanted to protect her and this time she herself was the one coming in his way.

He had to keep his softness away for her only.

Him being totally emotionless, it scared her. She did not want this to happen ever. He couldn't be that cold sidharth.

She wanted to be with him, in his arms always. She won't be able to tolerate this cold sidharth anymore.

What if he never talked to her again? What if he never took her in his arms again? What if he never look at her with that softness in his eyes?

The just thought made her stomach churn. It felt she would not be able to breathe if this ever happened.

"I will tell you everything sidharth lekin agar tumhe kuchh ho gya?" she whispered while his hold on her jaw and her hands loosened.

Finally she was ready to talk. But what did she mean by anything happening to him?

Was this girl doing some stupidity for him. Was she trying to save him from something? Does she know how naive she was to protect him?

"Tell me everything naaz. I won't repeat again" his words had clear warning and there was no way she could hide anything from him now.

Leaving her arms he took a step back and stood there looking at her silently. She understood she needed to speak.

Taking a deep breath she looked at him scared. She didn't know how would he react listening the truth.

"Sameer is blackmailing me" she looked down scared of his reaction. Her eyes moved to his fists which were tightened again. How dare he to blackmail her?

"How?" he asked calmly while inside he was ready to kill that sameer.

"He had sent me a video in which you...you shot a man" she closed her eyes getting scared that he would definitely lash on her now as the way he did last time.

Getting no reaction she opened her eyes and looked at him. He was looking at her calmly.

His eyes showed something, some emotions which she couldn't depict.

"Hmm...aage" anger was rushing in his veins. She had seen him killing again. It was so wrong move of sameer. He had to pay for this.

"He said, he will send that video to police agr maine uski baat nhi maani" she took a deep breath. Most of the part she had managed to utter.

Her eyes brimmed with tears realising what she was asked to do. How could she ever be able to leave him?

She went all silent while his eyes observed her. He could see the moistness in those innocent eyes of his naaz.

She was doing all this to save him from going jail. She was scared, she was stressed, she was restless because of him.

His naaz was trying to protect him knowing well she wasn't strong enough. It did something in his heart.

His strong strict gaze turned soft looking at her who was standing there like a scared kitten. Doesn't she know that he didn't need her protection?

It was her who needed to be keep protected.

That sameer dared to blackmail his naaz. He dared to make her helpless. This will cost him his life.

No one could make his life helpless in front of anyone.

But if that sameer threatened her to send him jail, what did he ask from her? He was blackmailing her. What did he want from her?

Taking a step closer to her, sidharth stood extremely close to her. Her eyes didn't dare to move up to look at him.

Pulling her chin up sidharth made her look at him.

"What did he ask from you?" his voice was stern again. He needed to know everything and for that it was important for him to be strict.

She was looking at him with tears in her eyes which flow down her eyes now. There was so much built inside her since last days. She was extremely stressed and scared.

"Stop crying naaz" cupping her face sidharth wiped her tears. His voice was still strict which made her obey instantly.

"Sach sach batao naaz, what did he ask from you?" holding her face in his hands he made her look into his eyes.

"Vo..vo..use...." her voice betrayed her. She was scared.

"Speak naaz" she heard his calm tone and nodded her head. Inhaling a sharp breath she looked at him.

"He wanted me to leave you" she uttered those words in single breath. 

His hands moved back while his eyes were focused on her. She knew how those words must have felt to him. It scared her.

His eyes turned red again. Anger which he was trying to subside knowing the reason behind her lies started to build again.

Everything went out of focus for him. The only words which ranged in his mind were 'she was asked to leave him.'

Rana had called sidharth to let him know about sameer. He had seen the footage of that cafe. The video didn't have audio but sidharth's sharp mind had guessed half of things just by observing them in the video.

He had seen sameer smirking time and again and shehnaaz being helpless in that video.

He was burning inside seeing that smirk on sameer's face and shehnaaz's helpless face increased his anger and worry to the extreme.

He wanted her to tell him everything anyhow. She was definitely getting herself into huge problem.

He couldn't care to be all soft with her now. She was more important than her being scared of him seeing his anger.

She was asked to leave him? And she was hiding this from him. What was she thinking? What was she planning to do? Does she thought to leave him? How dare she if she did?

Was she doing this stupidity just to save him from going to jail? Does she have any idea how smartly someone made her his prey and she was going herself to get trapped.

Taking a step closer to her sidharth pushed her against the wall again caging her. His patience was over now.

"He asked you to leave me and what did you think?" his voice came as dangerously slow and deep whisper while his breaths fanned her face.

Her mouth didn't open seeing the burning fire in his eyes. She didn't think anything. Before she could, sidharth had announced their marriage to be happen on the next day. But she wanted to stop sameer from sending that video to police.

"Kya socha tha tumne naaz?" she heard his whisper again just above her lips.

"I...i didn't want you to go to jail" she managed to utter under the deep intense gaze of his.

"To what did you want to do?" he asked again while his hands gripped her shoulders tightly. His fingers digged in her soft skin.

His mind had only one thought ringing again and again. Did she think to leave him?

He waited for her answer but she was quiet. Her. silence didn't go well with him.

"Did you think to leave me naaz?" sidharth asked in clear direct words while his eyes turned more dark.

Her eyes moved to his listening him. She could see extreme pain, hurt and anger in his eyes. Her own eyes were moist which had the same pain.

"I was scared for you but i did....." he didn't let her complete her sentence this time.

Holding her jaw tightly he took her lips in his making her shock. She didn't expect this all of a sudden.

He kissed her hard making her hands hold his shoulder tightly. The kiss was passionate and aggressive which she never experienced before.

He didn't want to hear if she thought to leave him. It will surely make him loose his sanity.

Leaving her breathless he left her lips and held her face in his hands. She was breathing heavily still calming her breaths from his passionate kiss.

"Ek baat yaad rakhna naaz, tumhe mujhse koi door nhi kar skta" pulling her face closer sidharth whispered every word with dominance. The possessiveness in his eyes and in his hold over her was at its extreme.

"Tum khud bhi khud ko mujhse door nhi kar skti naaz. You are Shehnaaz Sidharth Raichand now and your every right on yourself is mine now" stating in clear words sidharth left her face and moved out of the room.

She was standing there processing everything happened. She didn't know her revealing the truth to him would lead them to good or bad.

"Haan, pta hai mujhe. Jahan bhi hai ye utha k laa isko" commanded sidharth.
