******completed****** A man of 5.9 height is walking through the glass door. He was wearing a black suit. The driver opened the door of his BMW. The ride towards home was too short. Reaching home, he called out "honey I am home ". After few seconds, two slim hands wrapped him from behind. The woman put her head on his back and said "you are late". He turn around and cupped her face and asked "am I? ". "yes, you promised to go shopping with me" she backed up and took the coat he removed. "wait for me. After a quick shower we can go to shopping", he kissed her cheek and went to upstairs. The man went to shower but his phone beeps non stop. BEEP..........BEEP......... she glanced at the phone and put it down. after shower he came to the girl and asked "who called me? " "Your wife", she answered looking straight to his eyes. James and Catherine started their journey together but their drive took a wrong turn. The people Catherine trusted were liars. They betrayed her. Please do like and comment. Forgive and forget are two powerful words. Catherine will never forgive but she can forget. Forget your existence James. Don't forget to follow.

"Get out," I said in a firm voice, but it shook a bit at the end. The muscles in his jaw tensed when I said that. Instead of getting out, he closed the door and started taking calculative predatory steps toward me. His eyes moved all over my length. My heart started to drum fast. It made me take a step back until my back was flat against the wall. "I said get out," I repeated, trying to sound firm when he was only a step away from me. He stood in front of me with his hands in his pants pocket. "Last time I checked, I still own this place," he said arrogantly in his deep voice, which made me want to sink into the wall. He stood in front of me. "But it's my workplace," I breathed out when he cut an inch of distance between us. His body was not touching me, but my body still twitched as if his calloused hands were moving all over me. I lowered my eyes and took a deep breath to calm myself, but my heartbeat raised when I heard steps coming towards us. "Someone is coming. Go from here," I found myself pleading. The steps became louder as if the person were just a few steps away from opening the door. I don't want rumours to be spread here. An evil smile formed on the corner of his lips looking at the distress on my face. "I'm not afraid to be seen with my wife," he said in his deep, low voice, sending shivers down my spine. My eyes snapped towards him in anger. I know he was doing this on purpose because no one here knows we are married. Why is he breaking the deal?

"I am pregnant, " I say looking into his eyes intensely but his face is emotionless. "what? " he asks stunned, he paces around for a few minutes "I can't take care of a child right now" he snaps holding the office table tightly. "We have to because I have no way to go," I say pleading for acknowledgment and understanding. "what do you mean, " he said eyeing me suspiciously. "my parent disowned me," I say looking down in shame. "I will take you in but don't expect me to care for you and your baby because all this means nothing to me" he glanced at me before walking out of his office. Tears run down my cheek, feeling of embarrassment, and lost claws in my heart. I lost everything my family, my self-esteem, I feel lost and worthless. Most of all I lost love.

-- PROLOGUE "Let me get this straight. We have nothing in between us, except for the deal we made that day" he spoke in a monotonous tone. "I am the one carrying your name behind me; we are married. how can you say we have nothing in between us? Huh" She yelled at him, tears blurred her vision, and she spoke her heart to him. "For god's sake, this marriage was to save you! Can't you get that? I did not do it willingly, I do not love you!!" He yelled back at her, shattering her heart into pieces. "Why can't you just love me?" She spoke, as she cried the tears of hurt, and pain. Her heart thumped loudly due to the shivering sensation She felt all over her body. "I never made a commitment to you, or gave you any false hope, neither did i say that i love you. Did i?" He asked her, in a very cold tone. She looked at him through her teary eyes. It's getting difficult for her to even breathe. "It was your eyes, the damn eyes. Who gave me the false hope. They say, "Eyes speak the truth," but what about mine? Couldn't you feel the sincerity within them, expressing my deep affection for you? Why didn't you see the love shining in them? Was it too complex to understand? Couldn't you notice the warmth as they gazed at you? They search for you in every corner, If only you realized how they silently echoed the emotions I couldn't articulate. They say, "Eyes never deceive." But what about yours? They played a trick on me when they met mine, painting a facade of a world that wasn't real. They made me feel loved, Leading me into a belief that crumbled, louder than your spoken promises. Why did they betray me? Was it your eyes or you that masked the truth?" He stayed still, not moving or saying anything at her statement. --

When I stood up and reach for the door. I was forcefully turn around..making my back lean in the back door.. He snatch the purse and shoes in my hand, throwing it carelessly on the ground. I stared back at him just to be swayed by his presence. his face is only inches away from mine. "We're do you think your going little kitten?" He asked smirking at me. I felt my heart skip a beat. I definitely needed to get out of here.. I'm harboring too much foreign emotion, i never felt when I'm with Harris.. This is absolutely crazy..! "Look..I'm sorry to bother you and cause you trouble.. But please let me go... I wanted to go home now..." I pleaded at him. I saw his amused face and then he smiled devilishly... "I was thinking of letting you go when you sober, but now, After what you said,I change my mind... Let me show you little kitten what it likes to be rude and bad..!" he grip both of my hand up above my head and slam his lips on mine. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Alexandria Morgan had a one-night stand with a man who turned out to be a billionaire with numerous businesses in America and around the world.

A shiver rolled down her spine not due to their proximity but due to the tension vibrating between them. She looks up and her heart crack in response as betrayal brims his eyes. "You claimed to love me but you couldn't trust me. Is our love so fragile ?" His words cut through her soul. The question felt like a mock. Question on their relationship.

"I was not flawed, your faith was flawed. If You had faith in your heart for me, I wouldn't have to bear all that I did because of you" she said looking towards him who was sobbing infront of her. "I was very sad and angry at that time. All the evidence was against you and when I saw that condition of my mother I gone mad." He told her and raised his hand to touch her but she jerked away his hand in anger. "Please believe me.... I really love you" He looked into her eyes with the hope that maybe she might believe his words. "There was a time when I also expected you to believe in me but then you did not believe me and left me alone with my sorrow. Today I will leave you alone with your regrets and sorrows" She said angrily. She left from there. He Fell on the floor and took his face in her hand and started crying.

"Hey, baby?" I smile cheekily, grabbing Shreyan's attention and the girl beside him. He facepalms and looks at me, "Avyuktha?" "You look handsome, boyfriend." I wink at him and look at the girl beside him. "I'm sorry to say this. He's taken. We have engaged already." She nods pursing her lips and stands up. "All yours," she takes the seat across from Shreyan. I sit beside him and loop my arm around his. "I'm Avyuktha, Shreyan's lover since kindergarten. We are gonna marry soon." I tell her but I don't see any discomfort in him. Even the girl is just enjoying us. To spice up things, I add looking at him, "It's been so long since we have had our time." "Uh-huh?!" he smirks, "Let's go to my house then." Blood rushes to my cheeks. God! How could he just talk to me like this when the girl he is gonna marry is in front of him? I turn to the girl and smile, "He's just being desperate since it's been so long." I lean in front and say something I haven't ever expected to say, "As we are gonna become parents." Her eyes widen and I look at Shreyan. He is looking at me shocked. My plan working. The girl leans in front, "That's great news. How many months?" she asks. I look at Shreyan. He says, "It's three months." Man! he is being comfortable again. I'm gonna embarrass him to death today. No matter what!! I scoot closer and he takes deep breaths looking away, rolling his eyes in slow motion. "Baby, who is she?" "My sister," he says. I nod. "Hi, sister-in-law," she waves at me and looks at my stomach. "How is my niece?" "Your niece is healthy, Riya," Shreyansh winks. "She will be beautiful since her mother is, too." *************************************** Cheerful girl and a broody guy!

"You told them you love me ,huh?" He asks with a raised eyebrows, jaw hardened and eyes narrowed at the shy girl he has hated all his life. She was afraid of his tone,he didn't looked happy with her confession. Was her love going to be unrequited one? "I fuck*** asked you something Ezra! Answer me!" His tone made her gulp,his grip on her arm made her flinch in fear. "Yes" She finally answered looking into his emotionless eyes. Smirking he laughed at her confession,not believing her. "Ezra,do you even know what love is,Oh I almost forgot you are an Orphan,how would you know?" His words were sharp as knife, piercing her healed wounds. She fisted her hands, trying to control her tears. He sighed in frustration running his hand through his hair. "Now mom will not stop till she has made you her daughter in law! Fu**! Why you!" He said ,pacing the room . Oblivion to the tears ,she tried her best to hide. He didn't love her. He never did, she was a fool to even think that he for once did. Hate is all he had for her and those who said hate is the beginning of love,were fools mocking her right now. Gathering the little pride left in her she answers back in a quivering voice. "Yes,I love you. But I don't want anything from you." She says and he stares.Confused at her weird confession. Who says that ? "Nothing you say? Are you playing some brain games girl?" She lowers her eyes and leaves but not before whispering the words that made him feel something after a very long time. "Love is not something to learn ,but to feel Aaron. And I know what I feel. You may name it infatuation and lust,but I proudly call it my selfless love" ....................................................................

She chose to remain silent and pull out her lighter and lit up the Ciggarette and starts puffing it while glancing at the beautiful red and orange evening sky of NYC from the window of the hotel. "Advi? I am asking something.. Please tell me that you are joking right??" he asked her with teary eyes and his voice choked in the last and tears started flowing from them. "i hate jokes Mr. Khanna" she said in a stern voice, taking another puff from her ciggarette, she started walking off the room. "So why did you faked all those things??? Why did you faked those emotions??? This is easy for a heartless person like you but is impossible for me. I can't do this. Please Advi don't do this to me. I beg u. Please.." he shouted loudly and fell on his knees in front of her with a thud and the pool of tears started from his eyes. She chukled a bit and said "you were just a pawn in my game Mr. Khanna" saying this she left him in the room and went to Khanna's empire to ruin that. He was crying in the room and looking at her disappearance in the hope that she will come and tell him that she was just joking... But nothing like that is going to happen🎃.
