Third-Person POV:

Three days passed smoothly, and Armaan made some deals in the pharma company and put Yash in charge. After the heated conversation with Anjana, Ishita avoided her presence and soon left for her business trip. Armaan was sitting on the couch of his house listening to Nayantara about her meeting with the Mehra Family and Ishita's uninterested in marriage.

Nayantara suggested sadly, "Armaan... Are sure she won't have these issues in the future? I like her so much. I think she deserves to be this family's daughter-in-law and bear the next generation of the Goel Family." Armaan coughed a few times then cackled amusingly, "Don't knit so many dreams Mom. I don't even know will this marriage last even six months or... I would have to give her a divorce before it." his voice turned a bit sad.

Nayantara lowered her head sadly, "I have expectations from her she's really a nice girl but a little damaged I chatted with her for a while and observed her. She smiled like she hadn't done that thing in a long time, her answers were brief but accurate. It feels like something changed her or else she would have been a bubbly girl with a kind heart. Her passion for her career is undoubtedly good but she's hiding her emotions behind it."

Armaan listened to her attentively not even blinking his eyelids, "Mom... I know what you feel for her but this marriage alliance is just a business and it will stay like that...". Nayantara's face turned pale before she could say anything, Armaan stood up and left for his office getting a call to sign some important document with a medical group. Nayantara sat there for a while and looked to her right outside the window it was the temple, she joined her hand and pleaded to the idol of Lord Krishna "Please... Now everything depends on you, I hope you will choose the best for him...".

Later her cell phone buzzed with Aadesh's call picking it up Nayantara complained about not giving her attention. Then Aadesh mentions to her about the Election Commission declaring the dates and his party having the most positive response in the media. Then Aadesh asks about Armaan and his marriage, and Nayantara details everything, "I don't think this will be good for Armaan." Aadesh chuckled and responded, "Mom... just relax... I pushed him for a good reason, Armaan is smitten over her. Every time someone mentions her name in front of him, a strange kind of glitter sparkles in his eyes...".

Nayantara disagrees, "But this marriage is just not about Armaan, it is also about Ishita and clearly, she's not at all happy with whatever idea you gave to Armaan. And why the hell do you suggest such a horrible idea to take the most precious thing from the girl and then expect her to love the person who did it? Seriously, it's not a movie that you would make a girl's worst nightmare come true. Then when she realizes that she has no choice, she would probably play along, how dumb you can be?".

Aadesh silently chuckles listening to his mother's rant which makes it clear she's all head over heels protective over her daughter-in-law. Aadesh explained, "Okay before you embarrass me more listen to my side then judge me." Nayantara huffed then seated on the chair and listened to Aadesh as he explained, "To make Armaan marry Ishita, I made it seem favorable to him as he only cares and does a thing which is good for our family and the business we have. But he never thinks about what's good for him that's why I made him take over Mehra Groups. Once he gets married to her, he will eventually feel the love that died inside him years ago. I hate Veronica for ruining his life... so better it is Ishita because Armaan has some feelings for her, I have just pushed the process because I strongly believe that he would have just roamed around with an affair with her but never make it official."

Nayantara stayed silent and hummed, "I also don't want that chicken head to be my daughter-in-law. I would better die on the pavement than live under the same roof as her...". Aadesh cackled, "Don't worry I would keep that lizard way far from Armaan. But what bothers me is Ishita as she would probably make Armaan pay for his deeds. Trust me, Mom, she can play dirty, I have her records she has done many things like that in the past that's why most businessmen fear her and don't try to get in bed with her...".

She smiled, "Then she's worth being the next Mrs. Goel because it's not everyone's cup of tea." Aadesh got a call from work and he cut the call giving his mother some health advice she just closed the topic by saying her new daughter-in-law would take care of her as Anamika had given up on her. Aadesh felt bad as Anamika doesn't like Nayantara a lot and avoids meeting her because in her opinion Nayantara does reckless things saying whatever comes into her mouth first. On the other hand, Anamika is one of those conservative girls who think a lot before her actions and is comparatively less bold but Anamika never disrespected Nayantara for it.

Ishita yawned sitting up on her hotel bed, "Maybe 5 more minutes..." she mumbled to herself then jumped down from the bed looking at the lock screen of her phone. "Oh, God... I said that like an hour ago..." she rushed inside the bathroom and turned on the shower. She did her morning routine and changed into a black bodycon dress with a red overcoat, red bottom heels, and black sunglasses. Her work in the town was over so she decided to roam around the city exploring the place.

Getting inside her Range Rover she drove on the different lanes of Connaught Place and decided to have her breakfast in a cafeteria

Getting inside her Range Rover she drove on the different lanes of Connaught Place and decided to have her breakfast in a cafeteria. Hopping down the car she handed the keys to the valet and got inside 'The Spice Route' cafeteria and restaurant. Some paparazzi were already around the place as most celebs and fashion icons come to visit this place bringing their publicists to stay in the limelight and be the hot topic.

Ishita had nothing to do with it but they knew her as the youngest female billionaire in India. The guards helped her get inside removing the paparazzi as some started clicking her pictures. The place was less packed and extravagant some bougie men, classy women, and some lovey-dovey couples surrounded the place chatting with one another. Ishita seemed to be the only person who came alone, then she felt relaxed as she doesn't need to handle any relationship bullshit.
