I reach out for my phone with my eyes closed when my 7 a.m. alarm beings to ring. The last thing I remember from last night was Mishti telling me I gotta go pee!

And then we were into the room, took a hot bath, and went to sleep around 1 a.m. It is undoubtedly one of the special nights for me. I loved each second of it, from her telling me how much my love and support means to her to the feeling of her body against mine. I loved each second of it, all of it, all of her and all of us.

"Fuck!" Mishti curses and I tighten my arms around her when she aims to push me away. I know exactly what her moves are.

"We did last night," I say in a hoarse voice.

"Can you come out of last night?" She asks as she looks up at me.

I shake my head and I chuckle softly when she rolls her eyes.

"Arya and Aryan are not here. What is there to worry about now?" I ask?

"I have a meeting at 10 a.m." She says.

"Well I am your business partner, I don't mind if you push it to afternoon." I grin.

She smiles slowly. "Which is exactly why I should be there on time."

"Why?" I frown.

"Husband and business partner are not the same and you should not unite the relation." She presses a kiss on my cheek. "Would you not get mad if it was someone else instead of me and pushed the morning meeting to the afternoon?"

I pull her closer to me and reach out to put her hair to the side before I press a kiss on her neck.

"I would get mad when someone did it again and again. Once is fine." I say honestly.

"Alright. I actually have a lot of work to do and I want to get over this meeting so this planning commences." She pulls back. "You are not joining me for a shower, we'll get late."

"You don't like sweet mornings, do you?" I frown. "You are always hurrying after a long night."

"That's because we have a life out there. Staying in bed isn't the only thing, right?"

"I have a lot going on." She says. "I am a bit anxious as well. Have to fill Mr. Arora's position."

"Maybe when you are free we could go out on a honeymoon?" I suggest. "Well, you don't remember our first honeymoon so we should give it a try."

"We can't do that, Abir. We have our kids to look after and we can't always leave them at their grandparent's home." She shakes her head.

"Right." I nod, our kids are our responsibility. "We should go on a family trip then. Just the four of us."

"Foziah and Asad have been planning a trip." She says.

"Are you interested to go?" I raise my eyebrows. "They all steal you from me. Let's not go."

She laughs. "How am I supposed to tell them that?"

"Just say you are busy and can't join," I say. "It's not a lie because you are busy."

"No, we'll go and enjoy. I asked Masi, Mom, and Badi maa to join us and they agreed." She smiles. "It's going to be fun."

"If you say so." I sigh.

"I gotta go shower." She pulls away from me and gets down from the bed.

I follow her with my eyes as she walks up to the bathroom and then looks over her shoulder before she walks up to me and leans down to press a kiss on my lips.

"Thank you for last night." She whispers against my lips. "Didn't want to be ungrateful."

I wrap my arm around her waist and pull her down on the bed with me. She gasps in surprise when I roll us over and rest on her bed as I hold my weight with my palms resting on the bed.

"Thank me wholeheartedly," I say as I look into her eyes.

She begins to smile slowly as she puts her arms around my neck. "Too greedy, aren't you?"

"Greedy of you, your love, your sweetness."

Her eyes soften a little as she reaches up to press her lips against mine. I dwell on the moment with her as I close my eyes and enjoy the feeling of her lips against mine.

She kisses me softly and unhurriedly making me feel loved by her. I open my eyes with a frown when I feel a teardrop on my cheek.

"Hey," I say softly as I look at her. "Are you alright?"

"I am okay." She nods.

I look at her in disbelief. "You are crying and you say you are okay?"

"You see me crying and still ask if I am alright?" She asks through the tears and with a small smile on her lips.

"What happened?" I ask as I wipe her tears away. "I don't like to see you cry."

"I just feel overwhelmed." She lets out.

"In a good way, right?" I ask I sit up and pull her up with me.

"I just don't know what to do with all the love I get..." She trails off. "I try not to think too much about it and accept everything but-"

I look at her wanting her to finish saying whatever she wants to. I am willing to listen to her, for my entire life. She has good or bad to say, I want to listen to everything.

She sighs as she looks at me. "It just feels so much sometimes. I feel so loved and I don't know if I make everyone feel the same way."

"I don't want to let anyone down. You, Arya, Aryan, our family, and friends."

"Mishti." I reach out to hold her hands in mine. "You don't set a mark to reach there when you love people. You love them the way you can. It's up to them how they take it, they need to accept the love how you give them."

I reach out and put a hair string behind her ear as I keep my hand on her cheek. "You don't love people the way they want you to. You love them the way you can."

She looks at me for a moment before she puts her arms around me. I rest my chin on her head as I hold her in my arms and press a kiss on her hair.

"Did you study a subject called love?" She asks after a moment and I chuckle.

"Yes," I say and she pulls back to look at me with a frown on her beautiful face.

"Every time I look at you I learn something about love," I grin. "I studied you, you are love."

I look at her as she attempts to control her smile. She knows she can't hide the blush yet she tries and I find it cute.

"You are CM!" She shakes her head.

I smile. "Are you a camera? Because every time I look at you, I smile."

She laughs. "Stop it."

"You are a thief, do you know that?" I ask as I continue to smile.

"Because I stole your heart?" She rolls her eyes but the smile is still playing on her lips.

"Yes. You do know that." I chuckle softly as I lean closer to her and rest my forehead against hers.

"I just want you to know that I love you," I whisper as I nuzzle my nose against hers. "I want you to keep smiling, have kids with me, take me on the ride called life with you, hold my hand in ups and downs."

"I will." She says softly as she holds my face.

"You did end up making the morning sweet." She pulls back after a moment and stands up. "I am sorry that I don't have a lot of words to express myself."

"It's alright," I say as I get down from the bed. "Your eyes speak, I can read them."

She laughs as she walks to the wardrobe. "What has gotten into you? Last night was an overdose?"

"Honestly, I don't know," I say as I arrange the bed. I can indeed read her eyes. "I think I finally feel relaxed that everything is over. It's just our family and business we have to look after."

"Right. I feel good to know that we don't have a hoodie lady out there or someone who wants to harm us."

I turn to look at her when I hear the edge in her voice. "It's over. Let's not think or talk about this again."

"I wish we had an option to delete a few parts from our life." She sighs as she turns to look at me. "I still hate that they were my cousins and for someone reason, I feel guilty."

"This is life, we should take all the good and bad. No one would value it if we had options." I shrug. "And you don't have to feel guilty, they deserved it, you know."

"Yeah." She sighs. "Please call Mom and ask if Arya and Aryan are up. I'll take the shower."

"Okay." I nod as I reach for my phone.

I walk into Maheshwari Enterprises, Inc with Kunal by my side. Mishti's PA leads us to the conference room where a few members are present and she lets us know that Mishti will be here in a few minutes.

I came with Mishti here a few minutes ago and I stopped outside for Kunal to join me. I absolutely love the fact that no one knows what is going on between me and my wife. It's interesting that I have to wait for her like any other business partner and yet feel special that I am her husband.

I shake hands with the team members and I take my seat at the table. I occupy the seat on the right side and I look at the end of the table at the head seat where I know my wife will sit. It's a fucking proud moment.

I would love to have her work with me all the time in the office but at the same time, I don't want her to be my employee. She has just begun it I know she'll kickstart soon and keep the company at the top as it always has been.

I look over my shoulder when the door clicks open and Mishti steps in with her PA behind her. I can't help the grin when I see her and her eyes roam all around the room before she finds me and smiles at me. She's wearing a black pantsuit with a button-down white t-shirt underneath hiding her hickeys.

I watch as everyone opens their laptops and my eyes move over to her again as she spins the chair and sits on it. She looks down at the documents in her hands and sets them on the table before she looks up at everyone.

I try to focus as she begins communicating beginning with a greeting to the purpose of the meeting. I know it's been a long since she did meetings but she manages to do it perfectly.

I know business has always been on her mind, maybe it was the circumstances that made her decide to be an undercover cop.

As she walks up to the projector and continues speaking I let my eyes move down her body. She manages to blow my mind with anything she wears. It's the sexy dress, the business suit, or the knee-length dress. Night suits are forever my favorites because I choose them for her.

"Mr. Rajvansh."

I look up at Mishti suddenly feeling turned on by her tone and I straighten up when I see the look of disbelief on her face.

I clear my throat. "Yes?"

"I hope you are concentrating. Don't want you to come around with complaints." She says I don't miss the small smile that forms on her lips before she turns to look at the projector.

Kunal chuckles slowly beside me, I sigh and shake my head when I get glances from everyone in the room.

Concentrate.

I take a deep breath before I look up at the projector and concentrate on her words and screen rather than her knowing business is business.

I sit through the meeting giving my full attention and listening to what everyone has to say and sharing my opinions as well. It's not too hard to focus when everyone starts discussing.

Both of us do it well throughout the meeting, interacting more as a business partner rather than husband and wife.

Everyone stands up after the meeting is over and they begin walking out of the room after shaking hands. It's actually a good meeting because all of us are open-minded and I love the way my wife handled the situation when two of the members had a disagreement.

I smile at Mishti as everyone goes out, she is really a camera, my camera. I can't help the smile when I look at her.

I am about to walk up to her when I see everyone has left except for Kunal who seems a little tense.

"Are you okay?" I frown.

He looks from me to Mishti. "Shreya hasn't been answering my calls since last night. Her phone is switched off."

How was it?

Call me conceited but I am loving the recent chapters.

And I still can't believe no one took Abir's name for the question posted on Instagram. I am a little hurt about it too. 🤷‍♀️😂

People went from Foziah - Sam - Ishaan - Rayan and even Elina but none for Abir? 😂

Anyways, it was fun. 😂✌
