Armaan's POV:
Checking my wrist watch it was already past 10 o'clock and I still didn't receive any progress. I left home early in the morning and couldn't reach back since I was in another state. Ishita wasn't aware of it so I decided to let her know through a video call she picked it up after two rings. "Hey... what happened?" she asked in her cute voice sitting with her chin resting on her palms. "I may not be able to come back home today because I'm in Goa and some work is still pending here. It will take time but I'll try to back home sooner." She pouted sadly, "Really... I missed you so much and was waiting for you.".
I noticed my sweatshirt, "Hey... that's my favorite sweatshirt what are you doing with it?" she stood up and did a swirl. "What do you see? Obviously, I'm wearing it..." I chuckled lowly at her sense of humor. "It looks better on you... but did you not wear anything under it... like your underwear." She moved forward to the camera and moaned, "No daddy..." I busted out laughing, "Ishita... stop it... you know how much I miss you and won't be able to come back home you're making it tougher for me." she flipped up her sweatshirt and twerked showing her ass wearing a tight fitted short.
"Okay... I get it... now stop bouncing that thing..." I looked away from my phone screens because I never knew she can do this so better. "Okay daddy..." she mocked sitting back on the bed and pouting, "I miss you... what's going on in the company?" to which I explained her various aspects and situations forming and she listened with great interest. Her raising and falling brows constant fluttering eyelashes, and perfect puffy nude lips drive me insane. She's a real work of art, I stopped speaking and stared at her she smiled shyly and spoke out of concern "It's late you should get some sleep." I nodded my head and waved at her, "You should also... good night...". Ending the call, I walked up to the hotel bed and dose off to sleep.
The next morning, I woke up and got dressed for the office in a navy-blue suit with a white shirt and chinos. After finishing my office work in the evening Yash accompanied me to visit a drinking place near the sea beach. It was a small rusted lowkey place full of creepy dudes and naked girls. They all looked at us with great interest because we were the only ones wearing suits. Yash scrunched his nose, "This place is so distasteful except for naked girls." I narrowed my eyes at him, "Don't forget why we came here... I don't want to see you banging some chlamydia chick." He sighed and looked around for the person we came to visit. A girl approached Yash and touched his manhood, "Hello..." he jumped away, "What kind of warm welcome is that?" she knit her brows giving him judgemental looks.
I handled the situation and passed her a two thousand rupee note, "He's gay... I want to meet Veronica Jain. Hope this will help..." she took it from my hand and stuffed it in her bra. "Follow me..." and we did follow her inside a stinking place which is their makeup room. The girl whispered something in another girl's ear who was doing her makeup she turned to glimpse at me, "Armaan...". Veronica was barely recognizable with makeup that didn't match her neck and absurd clothes which were showing more than necessary.
She approached me and look around at the other girl drooling over me but no one dared to come close. Whereas Yash was getting touched by the girls unnecessarily, the girl who brought us inside mentioned that he was gay. Yash gave me dead glares but that was the only way to save him from getting harassed. Veronica stared at me with watery eyes, "Armaan... you came... you came back to take me with you. I was waiting for you..." I showed her my palm, "Stop knitting dreams Veronica. I came here after you tried to hire a lawyer to file a divorce case against me." she took a step back, "So that loser took your side...".
I crossed my arms, "Any intelligent lawyer who has the idea of my power won't try to mess with me. I gave you a chance to improve your past mistakes but as I can see you would never learn from your mistakes. But I did and improved my past mistakes..." she twisted her brows, "What do you mean?". I explained to her, "Due to the lack of documentation, our marriage license is deemed unethical. The marriage registrar confessed his blunder and accepted his termination." She shook her head in disbelief, "That's not possible... You mean our marriage is not legal anymore. How? We submitted all the documents and there is no way it could be possible."
A smirk crept up my face, "You still didn't get it... the time I accepted the marriage with you and started working at Pearls Entertainment was all to keep you distracted while I did my part. It would have been a big mess if you had caused any trouble during the procedure as it was time-consuming because you had money and power at that time, but not now. In order to gain the marriage registrar's favor, I fed him money as he was to retire, and he graciously accepted his termination offer." She was left stunned.
I went on "By using other resources, I dislocated the documents and deleted them from the legal record. To avoid future lawsuits, I refrained from the order and submitted the licenses clearing my name. I'm telling you all this now because you don't have the money to prove it in court. But still, with little filthy money, you were trying to crawl up. I don't have my whole life to deal with you so I just got rid of you. You can file as many lawsuits as you want but remember you'll lose because our marriage is not legal and the court will not accept it. So, there is no way you can ask for alimony. Now the better thing for you is to stay the hell away from me." she gritted her teeth in anger.
"How dare you, Armaan? This is what you give in return for my love. You snatched my money and threw me in the streets. You have no idea how hard my life has become just because I loved you." I shook my head, "No... this is for ruining my life, and the air your breathing is my generosity. I could have gotten rid by simply getting you killed but I chose to let you live." I turned to leave when her arms trapped my waist and she hugged me tightly, "Armaan... please..." she busted crying and her tears soaked my shirt. I pushed her away "Veronica doesn't... you used me to fulfill your desires and disrespected the love I showered over you. Even at the time, I accepted my marriage you weren't wanting me it was just all about the money. The reason you're still trying to keep me around you is that you can't accept the fact that you lost."
I stepped out of the makeup room and sit in my car to leave the place. Yash drove the car away from the beach and we reached our private airport. Sitting in the plane Yash asked, "Do you know Ishita is going to be a part of the FITM awards?" I raised my brows, "The awards my grandmother won last year..." he nodded in agreement. "Oh god hell no... grandma is going to be so pissed after losing it this year. I don't know the reason why they look at each other with so much hatred?" Yash chuckled, "You have that confidence in your wife that she's going to win... Like she's just nominated not won it yet, and isn't this award for social workers and Ishita's far away from that thing."
I left a small laugh, "I believe in her more than I do in myself... she's the one who owns the league rather than being a spectator for others victory." Within the next two hours, we landed in my hometown. Reaching home, the first person I met was grandma, she caressed my cheeks lovingly and asked about my well-being. "Armaan... you came at the right time." I looked at the person approaching me. Mom looked between us, "I didn't interrupt something right..." grandma gave her a look, "You always do... I only tolerate you because my son married you or else, I would have taught you a great lesson. You have got yourself a daughter-in-law like you as well." Mom smiled at her politely which was completely fake "Armaan... I came here to let you know that day after tomorrow we have to attend your cousin's marriage. So, get some rest and cancel all the plans for two days."
I nodded, "Yeah... that won't be a problem since all my work is almost done and Dad will handle the rest." Grandma spoke in between, "Oh... but you have to attend the award function tomorrow." Mom explained to her, "That's why I asked him to take two days off..." grandma rolled her eyes, "Don't act too smart...". Mom passed her another lovely fake smile and pat my cheeks lovingly before leaving inside. I took the stairs walked inside a room and looked around for Ishita but she wasn't there. Maybe not returned from office yet... I closed the door behind me and opened the door of the bathroom to get a nice relaxing shower. Ishita screamed at the sound of a door creaking open I yelped looking at her naked in the bathtub.
"My God... Armaan when did you come at least give me some privacy." She covered herself with some soap bubbles. "What are you doing?" I asked her out of curiosity seeing her in a bathtub with a bath toy and playing with scented soap bubbles. She let a sigh "I was bored and thought to try something relaxing and fun." I moved towards her, "It's a good view, and don't lie it was a welcome gift for me." she looked at me in utter shock. Squatting down to her level I kissed her cheeks she squeaked in happiness and pulled me kissing my lips.
She tilted her head biting my neck leaving a hickey and started removing my suit blazer. Her fingers undo my shirt button but suddenly stopped in between. I looked down at her face which was completely drained out of horror and the source which caused it. "Armaan... there is a little makeup and a lipstick stain on your white shirt." I checked the stain she mentioned and understood everything. "Yeah... it is..." I fumbled not getting the right words to put it together she gave me a look that scared the hell out of me.
"It's not what you're thinking... okay just give me some time to explain." She nodded blankly and I could see hurt in her eyes. I removed the shirt throwing it on the floor as well as the shoes stepping into the water. Ishita looked away ignoring me rubbing her knuckles aggressively. Gripping her wrist, I pulled her towards me she rested her head on my shoulder and leaned on my chest. "I got to know that Veronica was contacting some lawyers to file a lawsuit. Coincidently I had work in Goa where she's currently staying and working in a local bar for her expenses. I met her there and warned her directly that the marriage license is not legal anymore so there are no ways she could leach money from me. When I was going to leave, she hugged me and pleaded to let her come back. That's when she wickedly left a lipstick stain on my shirt."
I looked down and pecked her lips, "So there is nothing wrong I committed and you don't need to be possessive, sad, or jealous." She let a sigh, "I'm not... it's just that... it sometimes scares me what if you accepted that you did commit something horrible. What will I do? Act like a decent wife and forgive you or leave you. Maybe I'll choose to kill myself..." I pinched her arms pretty hard. She hissed in pain rubbing it, "What was that for?" I spoke to her sternly, "For talking shit and overthinking silly things." She hugged me lovingly and mumbled, "I'm sorry... my periods ended but my hormones aren't at rest. I'm at the peak of overthinking always... I think I should join yoga and meditation classes but I don't get time for it and at some point, it just gets boring."
I kissed her neck, "I heard something about your period ending... so we can do that now..." she bites her lower lips, "That's the only thing you get from everything I told you." I made her sit on my lap, "Let me ease your hormones and put them at rest with satisfaction." She positioned herself and started grinding on me.
