Ruhaan's throat tightened, his eyes brimming with emotions he could no longer contain. He looked at her as if she was his entire universe wrapped in human form.

"I don't deserve you, Squirrel..." he whispered brokenly.

Siya's hands froze for a moment before anger and love surged together inside her chest. She slapped her palm on his lips and shouted, trembling voice, her tears threatening to spill.

"Chup! Ek dam chup! Ek aur baar bolna toh jaan se mar dungi khudko!"
[Quiet! Completely quiet! If you dare say that one more time, I'll kill myself!]

Her lips quivered, her voice cracking as she added bitterly, "Phir kar lena dusri shaadi!"
[Then go ahead and marry someone else!]

But before she could move away, Ruhaan grabbed her with his other hand and pulled her into his chest so fiercely that she could feel his heart pounding against hers. His arms caged her trembling body, his voice breaking like a child's cry.

"Aap marne ki baat nahi karengi! Sab chhod kar chale jaate hain mujhe... agar aap bhi gayi toh main mar jaaunga."
[You will not talk about dying! Everyone leaves me behind... if you too go away, then I will die.]

His vulnerability shattered Siya's soul. She cupped his face with both her trembling hands, her eyes swimming with tears as she made him look into her.

"Shh... I am not going anywhere," she whispered, her voice both a vow and a prayer. "Let's seal it right now you and me, we will never leave each other. No matter who stands in front of us. Okay?"

Ruhaan's eyes glistened, his head nodding desperately, as if holding on to her was his last breath.

And then, without hesitation, their lips met in a desperate, soul-searing kiss. It wasn't just a kiss it was a promise, a vow, a sealing of two shattered souls who found their home only in each other.

Their lips parted, the kiss breaking but leaving his heart wide open. Ruhaan's tears streamed silently, his fragile chest rising and falling with uneven breaths. He looked broken in that moment like every cruel word from the world had cut him too deep.

Siya's heart clenched at the sight. She cupped his face tenderly, wiping away the wetness with her thumbs as though erasing his pain. Her voice dropped into a whisper, low and firm.

"You are my soul..." she breathed, pressing a kiss onto his forehead. Her eyes locked into his trembling ones. "You will never let someone else's opinion hover over you. Promise me... promise me, Ruh."

His lips quivered, and his voice cracked, but he nodded. "I promise, Squirrel..."

Her heart melted at the broken sincerity in his words. She stroked his cheek lovingly and whispered again, this time softer, "Now rest. Have some sleep... please."

But Ruhaan, even in his tears, managed a faint smile. His hand patted the space beside him. "Make me..."

Siya exhaled a shaky laugh, her lips tugging upward. She slipped beside him, and without hesitation, Ruhaan placed his head on her lap, curling into her like a child seeking shelter.

Her fingers slid into his hair, combing through the soft strands slowly, rhythmically. His eyes drifted shut, his body loosening as her touch lulled him into calm. Siya watched him, her heart torn in two because in her lap, he looked so peaceful, so innocent, so trusting.

For him, she was comfort.
For her, he was in danger because he didn't know who she really was.

No matter how much love she poured into him, society would always try to poison him. And one day, when Ruhaan learned the truth... what then? He was too soft-hearted, too kind, a man who couldn't even watch someone in pain. And she ,she is a Mafia Queen hiding behind the polished mask of a CEO. A woman whose hands were stained in blood.
