I have a news. Look at the end of chapter for it.

****

She walks through the house towards the location she needs to be at; his office. She knows he has cramped himself in there because that is his usual.

She opens the door entering inside watching his eyes narrow at her lack of manner to knock which she shrugged because challenging is something that keeps her day going.

"To what do I own this pleasure?". He asked crossing his arms over his chest and his muscle on rather more display that is very distracting for her

She moves closer to him standing in front of his black desk, "I have some business with you".

He smirks, "I hope it's not another lost deal".

"I don't blame you". She said shrugging as she flips her hair back, "Not many people can know the difference between a real and a fake gem".

He snickers, "Real gem, who?".

"Forgot it". She said waving her hand as she places an envelope in front of him, "You might want to deal with this first".

"What is it?". He asked seriously watching how she turns cold while she spoke

As he reads the content while watching the pictures he couldn't help the anger that built inside of him as he pushes his chair starting to walk outside to kill the one but she wraps her hand around his back halting him effectively.

"You need to calm down". She said in a honey-rich voice coaxing him to her, "We need a plan. You know how business works. If we were to reveal this on our own, it will be a mess".

He could feel her heartbeat through his back, that is how close she is to him at the moment. He doesn't even know if he is even thinking about killing anymore or just about acting like he is angry so she can stay hugging him.

Being affectionate is something that never existed in his family. Everyone does care but not show in their actions that much which means he has never been hugged for a long time perhaps after he turned six. He doesn't know the importance and just how beautiful it is to be affectionate to someone.

But he has to say that being hugged by someone when you need one has to top all the other affections. He feels his heart blossoming like a dead flower being touched with life. He places his hand over her hand which were wrapped around his front turning around pulling her in his arms.

He cannot stop this feeling. He wanted to continue to hug her as long as he can.

"Hshsjwkwk". She mumbles against his chest and he realises she can't even move making him smile as he loosens the grip

She turns her head upwards looking at him, "Are you still going to throw a tantrum or are we good?".

He narrows his eyes at her, "I am not a kid".

"I disagree with that on every level". She said shrugging

He leans in closer to her watching her eyes widening at the proximity making him smirk as he inches further closer leaving a small gap between their lips and he was pleasantly surprised that she didn't move away or push him at that.

"Do you want me to prove that I am not a kid?". He whispers losing himself more in her eyes than her

She gulps, "We have things to do and that doesn't include this".

He touches her lips briefly with his own shuddering, "I can add it in if you want".

She could feel his touch on her lips as she tries to gain her senses gulping visibly as she wiggles in his arms until his lips touch her again halting her movements.

He smiles moving a little away, "That proves it I guess".

She breathes heavily trying to calm herself as her eyes meet his eyes and she stands on her toes reaching his height as she leans in closer to his lips.

"You have a lot of proving to do". She said kissing the side of his lips watching as he looks in his daze while she runs away from there

She runs towards her room closing the room behind her trying to calm herself down. She looks at the mirror to find her face looking like a tomato making her groan.

Why is she so easy?.

She walks out of the room when she finds his mother looking for her knowing it must be another lecture she didn't want to hear, she runs in the direction of his office.

She banged the door open watching him startle at the sound as he was on his phone and looks at her confused. She hurriedly runs towards him hiding behind his desk just beside him.

"What are you doing?". He asked placing the call on hold at his wife weird behaviour

"I am hiding in case you can't understand that". She said looking through the side to see if the door opens

"And why?". He asked looking at her, "I thought your hiding spot was the gym".

"It was until yesterday". She said huffing, "Now they all walk in there to find me. I need to hide so if someone comes here, I am not here".

"What will I get from doing that?". He asked raising his eyebrows, "I would rather have you tortured".

She groans, "A person is dying and all you want is something in return".

"Yes, I want something". He said nodding, "I am a business man after all".

She hears the door starting to open as she looks at him desperately, "Fine. I will do whatever you want".

"Without any numbering to how much I want?". He asked smirking

"Fine. No matter how many things you ask, I will do them". She said hiding more as the door opens

He looks at his mother entering inside as he looks at her nonchalantly.

"Is there something I can help with?". He asked blankly

"Is your wife here?". His mother asked and he shakes his head, "I don't even know why you choose her over Sanam. I told you she was the one for you and you have to bring some random girl home who wouldn't even listen to me".

"Why does she has to listen to you?". He asked ignoring all the other words

"Because she has to". His mother shouted, "She needs to do whatever that I wish for her".

"You have a servant for that". He pointed, "She is my wife, not a servant who will have to listen to you. I hope you will remember that, Ammi".

She watches his mother leaving and he expected her to be angry about another girl his mother mentioned but she falls on the ground with her book reading it beside him comfortably.

He shakes his head smiling as he went back to attending his call before he drops the bomb on her head.

"I knew I was making deals with the devil". She said huffing as she tries to straighten her saari

She walks downstairs to the car he has sent asking her to come somewhere and she has no idea what she should be expecting so she just went with the extra looks because that can save her face if needed.

His driver stops the car in front of the five-star hotel and she steps down walking inside. She asks the hostess about her seat and she was directed to the rooftop in a short while where she finds all the decorations. She walks through the place amazed by the way it looks so beautiful.

She smiles as she looks in front of her at the sea waves crashing around making her feel at ease even though it is a night which she doesn't like. She can feel the night air blowing her hair and she groans hoping they don't get ruin from it.

"Why are you always mad at your hair?". She heard his voice making her heart start to thunder against her chest and she didn't even turn feeling his heat on her back

"They are long and they can get irritating sometimes". She said holding on to the railing tightly feeling him move closer as he moves the hair away from her shoulder, "I was thinking about cutting them short".

He turns around her and her breathing hitched at the minimum distance between them and his eyes looking at her intently as they move to her red tainted lips making her shiver.

"Now why would my Rapunzel ever do that?". He said huskily making her inside start to clench at the emotions that course through her body

"Your Rapunzel?". She asked placing her hand over his chest when he moves closer in a fruitful attempt to stop it but feeling his hard muscle under her skin only made everything worse

He smirks sinful, "Yes, you are mine".

"You do realise you are staking your claim?".

He brushes his hand against the strand of her hair, "I know what I am doing".

"And I am hungry". She said moving under his arms walking to the chair where the food is

He chuckle watching the blush coming over her face as she waits for him to sit in front of her. It is truly a sight to see her going red because it's not just her cheeks, her full face starts to turn red like a tomato which he starts to find endearing.

He continues watching her eat silently placing his hand over the table and his head on it. She didn't mind his gaze at her but it makes her heart act differently making a constant blush on her face.

"Why are you looking at me?". She asked finally being done with it as she sits back on her chair

"Koi gunnah toh nahi". (It's not a sin)

"Aur agar gunnah howa toh". (What if it's a sin then)

"Toh saza kaat loon ga". (Then I will serve the punishment for it)

She shakes her head, "What is the deal with your child?".

"Why?. Does it bother you?".

"Why will I be bothered by who you had in your past?".

"How so?".

"Because that was your past that I have no right to know and no right to object or be mad about unless it comes in our present/future".

"You are an odd one".

"Thanks, I guess".

"I am glad I found you before anyone else".

"Thanks for the flattering but you never told me why your child is not with you?".

"I don't want to talk about things that stress me. I would rather know about you".

"What about me?". She asked placing her hand on the table

"Anything".

She thought for a moment, "I was born in a beautiful family at a very old age of my parents. My brother and I have almost 8/9 years difference between us. Both of them are a year apart and my parents told me that I was a miracle and a blessing they never thought they will get but what they did, they were the happiest".

"They are not wrong about that".

She shrugged, "I was 16 when my parents died in a plane crash. Their bodies weren't found even after a full mission just their clothes were left which my brother buried away saying they were of no use. From then on, my brother was the one taking care of me".

"They take care of you in an exceptional way".

She snickers, "Exceptional can be the word".

He nodded understanding, "I have been taking care of my mother and sister since I turned 20 and my father died. Since, it was a family business it wasn't that much of a hassle for me. But, I do know that there are certain limits I can take care of those two women".

She nodded, "My brother do showcase their love in unusual ways".

"Is it truly their love?".

"You have noticed".

"That's the first thing I noticed when I first saw you".

"There are more things to that love they showcase that no one can simply see just from their eyes".

She went inside the house going straight to bed after changing into her nightgown. She has to say the dinner was everything she never imagined it to be. He listens to her stories for a few hours and she didn't even realise how much she told him.

He enters their room changing his clothes as he went to the bed to find her hugging that stupid teddy bear of hers. He frowns looking at it as he wonders if he should simply throw it away and act like he doesn't know where it went?.

That will be the best way.

Before he could execute his plan he finds her whimpering in her sleep and he immediately pulls her in his arms laying on the bed. He lightly massaging her shoulder easing her tense muscle as he sings softly to her a tone he didn't even know about.

She opens her eyes after a while hearing him humming softly calming her down and she didn't need to count the numbers this time. She moves closer to his heart hearing it beating harshly for some reasons as his land goes through her hair playing with them.

She can feel the heat of his body and his hand moving on her body, innocently yet she has no innocent thoughts in her mind.

"Where is my teddy bear?". She mumbles sleepily

"He is useless". He stated, "I don't know where he is, do you want me to find him?".

She smiles gently moving her head to be comfortable on his broad chest shaking her head, "I can use you for tonight".

"Here I thought I made the deal for my benefit". He said sighing

She chuckles lowly and the sound restored through the empty silence filling it with something magical as he feels his hand tightening around her.

"You made a wrong deal". She said shrugging, "You don't see the moon anymore?".

She feels herself drifting to sleep with his warm body, "No. I don't have to see the moon for comfort anymore".

Because she became his moon.

The next day he was awake an hour before her simply laying there gathering all his feelings that he has been experiencing. He is no child to not know what these are and he is not even in denial.

She was awake after a while as she went to the bathroom coming out with another beautiful set of dress that makes him look at her shamelessly admiring all of her.

"Take a picture". She said repeating his words he has once said to her

"I will rather have you save in my memory than in a device that others can see you in too". He said as his eyes held the darkest emotions making her shiver

She takes slow steps towards the bed where she has placed her scarf which now she regrets completely. She knows it is like entering an alpha territory where chances of survival are low.

She places her hand on her scarf when he holds her hand pulling her under him, hovering over her.

"Why do you look so enticing?". He said lowering his head as he inhales her sweet strawberry scent and his lips gaze at the bare skin of her neck, "It's driving me insane".

She holds back the sounds that were threatening to escape from his touch clenching her hand on the sheet under her.

"You were lying when you said that, right?". He whispers hoarsely against her skin, "That you will not do anything because of your lover".

Her eyes snapped open as the hot pain course through her at the reminder of him. She struggles against him wanting to be free which he didn't let her.

"You want me to have no lover?. Why?. Why can't I have one when you have two and a child?". She snapped angrily glaring at him

His hands tightened on her wrist, "I never said that".

"You were implying to it". She said furiously, "I will say it once and for all so listen to it properly". Her eyes narrow at him, "I did have a lover and he did die".

He moves away from her releasing his grip on her as she pushes away from him standing on the other side. He brushes his messy bed hair frustrated with her and her words that were like hot lava poured over him.

"While we are at it". She said before he could take a step, "I am not allowing you any unlimited wish meter. You have only two more wishes left so use them wisely".

She went out of the room fuming while he went to the bathroom fuming for different reasons.

Then, he breaks the news at his sister about her fiancee cheating on her. He didn't exactly do that instead his wife suggested that they have her see it with her eyes so she doesn't blame anyone and then they can pretend to do some research and show her the file which has the documents of his history of cheating.

It was a blood bath.

The man dared to say he did that only a few times but he will never after a marriage.

She chuckles at Taimoor words watching his bloody body barely holding him while his parents were pleading.

"The one who does it once will do it again". She said the golden rule looking at his sister, "You should know your worth to not lower to a man who can't even be faithful. You have everything a loving mother and brother, education and you can do anything you wish for even if it is to find a man who is better than this trash. Will you waste your whole life worrying that your husband will someday cheat on you again?. Or do you want to build a house which can be peaceful?".

After that, they were kicked out of the house while his sister went crying in her room. She looks at him and he didn't even meet her eyes making her heart clench. She should have known better than to give herself to him.

She went to the room reading her book and after a couple of hours, she went downstairs to see the environment which was still gloomy. As she starts to move away his mother catch her, finally.

"Do you know where your husband is?". His mother snapped

She shrugged, "I am not his caretaker. He is a grown adult who can handle himself and be responsible for things".

"He is wood-crafting again". His mother said ignoring her words, "You are his wife now, you should make him stop".

"How is ending his habit of my job?". She asked crossing her arms over her chest, "I came here by getting married to build a future with a man you made. I am not here to change his habits or things he does. And I don't even think wood crafting is that much of a problem. If he likes it, he can do it. It's not like he comes to me and tells me not to do anything".

She walks through the garden to the small house in the far end. She never thought it was a wood crafting place. She opens the door entering inside to find him wearing the glasses and gloves delicately working on something on the table.

"What are you doing?". She asked once he was done

He looks at her, "Wood crafting. What does it look like?".

"I mean what are you making".

"Nothing you have to know".

"Teach me".

"It's not a thing you can learn".

She turns to him glaring at him, "Don't underestimate me. I can do anything".

He rolls his eyes handing her the protective gear as he starts to teach her the basics. He turns around to place the next piece she destroyed at the side when he heard a scream.

He immediately turns around as his eyes widen looking at the blood oozing from her fingers. He went to hold her hand as he spoke, "I told you to be careful and I told you it wasn't your thing. Why don't you listen to me?".

She pushes his hand away looking at him upset, "You don't have to worry about me".

She moves past him with her bleeding finger as she watches the stupid moon once again in the sky and the cloud around it. She continued to walk through the garden feeling the pain in her finger since the cut was deep, it wasn't healing or stopping.

She heard the loud sound of thunder in the sky making her fall to the ground holding her ear to block them away. She tries her best not to listen to them but the pain intensifies every time there is thunder. She feels the scream coming out of her mouth as her chest hurt in the familiar pain she remembers.

"Yusra". He said running towards her when he finds her on the ground

He holds her shoulder trying to know the reason for her pain as he shakes her.

"It hurts. It hurts. Make it stop". She pleaded and he could have sworn his heart stops at her desperate plea

He could have done anything for her yet he felt helpless.

"What do I stop?". He asked trying to find a way to do anything

"The sound. The thunder. Make it stop, please". She said with her hand on her ear and eyes tightly closed

He looks at the sky that looks ready to rain any second and even if he runs he cannot take her away from the sounds of thunders. As the rain starts to pour he looks at her taking her hand away from her ear and she opens her eyes looking at him, the pain that flashes in her eyes almost made him feel it too.

"This is my second wish". He said placing his lips on hers

She went through the shock at the sudden action to the point that all other sounds vanish around her and the sound that she heard loud and clear was her heart thumping in her chest.

She looks at the man who is here for his sister proposal and after spending the night in the memories of that one kiss they shared, she managed to pass the biggest hurdle of her fear from thunders.

The man who came with his mother seems more interested in her than his sister.

His name is Saif.

She had heard that name somewhere but she doesn't remember because many people can have that name. It is not limited.

"You are an industrial engineer?". Saif asked looking at her

She nodded.

"And you actually worked on the ground?". Saif asked again, "They take woman in those kind of jobs now?".

She nodded.

"Isn't it hard for a woman to do that kind of labour work?". Saif added

She clenches her hands, "If a woman can give birth to a man like you, I am sure they can handle a little heat and labour work. All they have do is set their mind on it".

She was trying to hold back for the sake of his sister but if she is mad, she is mad.

"I was just saying you could have gone for a field that was more feminine". Saif said shrugging

"Oh, now there are fields distribution on genders basis?. I don't have to ask anyone or choose any field that I don't want. I can make my own decisions as to what field I want and not get dictated over it". She snapped as she stands from her seat, "I think you have a wrong idea that I will act nice just because you are here with a proposal. I will not hold back if you point a finger at me, I will rather break it".

She starts to move away when Saif spoke, "You remember Zafar, don't you?".

Her feet halted.

She turns around looking at him, "What?".

"You do remember him, don't you?". Saif said standing

She takes threatening steps towards Saif, "Don't play with me. How do you know him?. What do you know about him?".

"I never thought you will remember him after you killed him". She heard everyone gasp, "You remember your lover to this day?".

She holds his collar shaking him, "Who are you?".

Saif smirks, "I am his step-brother. I am the only brother, your lover had"
