Siya's POV:

I poured it out ... I collapsed on the floor...While Vikrant held me closer and hugged me tightly.

"Shhhh...calm calm Sona... please... its ok.. you know what I cant believe the little girl with piggytails who needed her Golu to protect her in childhood is now all wings!!! Infact is now being the war shield for her Golu or shall i say... her husband Raghav..."

I sobbed hard.. "I want him to be safe Vikrant... His life is at risk.. I am scared till he signs the papers if something will happen to him...."

"He is in Bengaluru Siya... He is Vikrant Chadda's childhood friend... My entire army will protect him...You calm down.. " he hugged me tightly...

He made me a cup of coffee and forced me to drink it, although not interested i sipped a little..

While he said.. "Siya...dont you think marrying someone just to save their family is a little too much... I mean... are you sure Raghav is onlyyyyy your bestie" he had a cunning smile on his face.

"What do you mean Chaddi" i asked angrily...

"Woooahhh...Vikrant to Chaddi ..niceee ...But you know what... i see all heart emojis in your eyes for that man... Someone is big time smitten ahaaaa" he said...

"Justtttt Shutup ok... He is my bestie and"

"Annnnnnnnnnndddd" now Vikrant pulled his business chair and came next to me like a gossip queen...

"And nothing... Shutup!!!" I said digging my mouth into the coffee cup.

"Siya... you are turning into a red kashmiri apple... calm your blood rush that is growing your cheeks into pinky tomatoes" he said pulling my cheeks...

"Ahhhhhhh Chaddiiiiiii" I screamed.. He chuckled.

Soon Vikrant dropped me to hotel while I turned around and hugged him while I whispered in his ears... 'I hope whatever I told you will remain between us'

While he circled his arms around my neck and said 'Dont worry Sona..Anytime you want any help..just come to my cabin.. '

While I whispered in his ears 'I cant text you... call you..my chats or my phone are probably been monitored or hacked too..I cant take the risk'

To which he said 'Dont worry... just come to my office directly..thats safest or if in case of any emergency give me a missed call..I will call you via my private number and be at your service'

I hugged him tight. Indeed he is like Samay Bhai. I blinked through my tears and bid him a bye.

While I was entering the hotel I saw Raghav standing at the corridor.

I looked at him while he looked very angry.. What is wrong with him?

Next second he held my hand and dragged me along with him...

I was shit scared now.. 'What is your problem.. Leave me Raghav.. ' I saw even the receptionist was looking at us...

In no time.. he dragged me into his room and bolted the door.

I stood shocked...

Next second he pushed me on the wall...

And pinned me on both the sides...He looked very very angry..I could see his eyes went red in anger...

"What the hell were you doing with that man there in the middle of the road??? " he screamed...

"That man is our childhood friend...And probably your partner for the Hawian project too right?" I said although his closeness was beating my heart nonstop...

"Ohhh thats why you are hugging him so tightly? Which business partner hug like that? Huhh?" he yelled while his nose was touching mine...

I looked into his eyes and lips that were this close to me.. I swallowed my saliva nervously and said... "He is a friend and anyways...I still doubt if he and you will sign the project... And the Hawain project huhhh!!! You think you can crack it? Has Vikratnt signed anything official with you? No right? I dont think he will also and you know what I have decided to start working on the mall project.. Next monday I have engineers coming to look at out property... Nice na?"

I said while i felt him clench his jaws.. His lips were this close to me.. I felt his hot breath fanning my lips...

"You cannot do that... remember for 12 months you cant deconstruct the Sehgal Mansion" he said seething anger...

I smiled and said "Well I am only doing pre-implementation part.. its called planning !!!"

Next second he looked into my eyes which had tears and said "For a minute I felt there is something in your eyes.. something you are doing under pressure...something that I am unaware of...But No!!! I am glad I had seen your true face... You are a curse in my life but dont worry i will get rid of you soon... 12 months right? Trust me... You will crave to see my face in this contract marriage of ours and Sehgal Mansion will be mine! I swear on my grandmother!!!'

saying he pushed me away...

I left the room while I heard a thud of the door behind me. I had a drop of tear fall from my eye while a smile lingered on my face...

How much I am happy with his hatred too shocked me today...

Indeed! because his hatred for me is his key to success! His fuel!!!

I went to my room and lied down on the bed while next minute I opened my mobile and looked at our wedding picture that was my wallpaper and smiled thinking how beautiful I feel even while doing all this...

Raghav... My lips uttered softly... I touched my heart and felt my heartbeat...

Why am i doing all this??? You know why.. Honestly I also dont know why..

But this one...This one beats for you Raghav... I had tears in my eyes and a smile on my face...

I slowly drifted to sleep.

Raghav's POV:

"Thanks Vikrant" i said to him although last night the way he hugged Siya was fresh in my head.

But then I decided to keep personal and professional separate and I knew how important this project for me is!!! Its my key to Sehgal Mansion. I signed the papers with Vikrant while I got a call from Bikki and I got a shocking news that

"Hawaian Group wanted to sign the contract today itself. And not just that we have also gained two more projects with them and that they want to sign the project today itself and that they are two long running ones which means we have dedicated work for at-least 2 years."

I was so happy now. This was indeed a victory. Bikki knew that I was doing all this hard work to get Sehgal Mansion back but he didnt know that my wife owned the mansion !!! Many times I felt like telling him but somehow I couldn't gather guts! Not even Alisha-Suhaan who worked in our organization had any idea about this. After all Project Mercury was directly under Siya and literally no one had access to the files. I got the access probably not because I was the director but because I was her husband!!!

But mine,Bikki and Esha's priorities was clear the minute we get a major chunk of money BER Group will lend me a loan of 65 crore Rupees. As I had the rest amount gathered. As promised Bikki asked the finance department transfer the money to my account while i had long ago signed the loan papers which says a major chunk of my salary will deduct the loan amount and I would also be pledging my 20% shares to get this loan. With my loan amount reaching a 40 crore Rupees and my salarya s a director was decent to pay that amount and there I was ready to face her!!!

Now that I had the potential I directly marched into her room and threw a cheque slip on her face.

'75 crore Rupees!!! I need Sehgal Mansion back!!!' i looked at her and smiled...

She was shocked...I had a victory smile on my face.

While she screamed loudly "Get out of the room.. You wont get anything.. I am not selling anything!!!"

And next second she pushed me out of her room.. I kept on banging the door...She cant do that...Its one of our wedding clauses... She cannot!!!

While in a few minutes I got a call from Vikrant and he asked me to come immediately to his office...

I was shocked...He sounded in a hurry burry. He told me there is issue with the documents.
And in no time I ran to Vikrant's office.

While Vikrant took me to his cabin. And next second I saw him switching off cc tv cameras and i started wondering what was he doing.

I started panicking...

"Listen... Now.. you are just going directly from here to this address... My driver will take you to my private jet... You are not talking to anyone not picking any phone calls and not even switching on your GPS. You will meet Siya there"

I was shocked...

"Siya?? And why am I going secretly to some place to meet her?" i asked in confusion...

"Listen we dont have much time to explain you.. mess is already created... before anything creeps up we need you to sign papers..."

"Papers???" I asked...

"Sehgal Mansion papers!!!"

And I was shocked...

"See Raghav... all i can tell you is... you will get your house officially right away... you are going to the government office to sign the final transfer papers... now rush!!!"

And next second i was made to sit in a car and in no time i was in Vikrant's private jet.

By afternoon I was been took the government office for final transfer of papers... I never came here till now.. It was always Ashwin uncle who did this for us... I didnt understand why is this happening like this today.

I was took to a room where Siya was already there...

She offered me a pen to sign the papers...

I wondered why so much drama but as of now I was only interested in signing the papers.

There I signed the papers...Stamping was done and I was officially the owner of Sehgal Mansion now.

But suddenly i heard something loud!!!

And next minute the lady infront of me screamed loudly...

While I felt someone leaning on my back I turned around to see what happened...

And I almost froze to death...

There was only blood...blood...

And next second I saw Siya was been shot!

Blood Blood everywhere...

I froze like a dead body!!! She was lying in a blood pool in my arms !!!
