'What is this?' is the only thought running through my mind after seeing the lines on the file that is present before my eyes.
Is this some kind of prank? I thought by turning the pages and found that it has an official seal at the end of it.
Contract marriage? I frowned letting the pages fall back in its place but my hand froze looking at the words in the middle of these pages.
I... I... my hands started shaking looking at those words and I gasped before leaving the file alone and stood up in shock.
I stared at that file in a daze before sitting down and opened it again to read the words while

*Shrishti Pov*After the weekend, I messaged Prathap asking whether Anny forgave him or not but his response was negative and mentioned that she is staying at Vikranth's house.I closed my eyes leaning back and opened them to stare at the contract I don't want to choose. I don't want to do the contracts involved in me working for someone else and also where I need to be involved with business people.However, these two days I have gone mad while thinking about so many things. From Vikranth's contract to my past behavior with Kanika to the mess that happened to Anny because of my phone call.I don't know whether I can control my thoughts by myself without shari

*Shrishti Pov*“I will take my leave then. I note down everything that I could which will help with the last day of the event.” I said passing the file in my hands while he frowned looking at me.“We will be congratulating everyone who made this whole event possible. Why are you going at this point after doing the work?” he asked but I shook my head.Do I want the recognition? Of course! But will I be happy to stay for an extra day and something happens in the meantime? No!I already have enough regrets and I don’t want to add anything to it. And hearing his voice yesterday night… I am scared right now and can’t feel relief unless I go and meet Grandma.Adding to that, he is my friend and he called me in need. If I don’t go, how can I be a good friend? I sighed turning around to leave but called Jenny asking her to manage the company for a few more days.“H

*Shrishti Pov*“Go back to the hotel, Nitish. I will be here.” He frowned hearing those words from his Dad.It’s been a week since I came here and after he tried to ask his Dad to come here every day, he is finally here but brought press with him.I know I shouldn’t get caught with the media as GH will be involved unnecessarily and I have to give this huge explanation that I am just his friend and not at all related through business.I didn’t expect that his Dad is in politics and right now running for an MLA and is already a mayor for Mumbai until the last term.Nitish never talked about his family or even about his friends clearly except for a few incidents. The moment he called Nitish informing them that he is coming, I walked out of the hospital room to give them space.It is a good thing as I didn’t expect him to bring the media with him. I shook my head already knowing

*Shrishti Pov*“So, what do you think?” I asked glancing at Jenny while she looked around the office before nodding at me.“We need to hire staff and also decide who will handle this branch first and later decide on adjusting our works.” I added and she smiled but didn’t say anything.“What is it?” I frowned looking at her.“I just… all this time I was talking on how I can manage and you can rest but last month when you were away for a few weeks, I realized that I need time to actually handle everything.” I didn’t say anything hearing those words.Even I didn’t expect that I will take that long to return to Mumbai but found that I can’t take a rest anymore seeing the work pending and finally after a few weeks, we both managed to come to this city so that she can check out the new place.“Why don’t we continu

*Nitish Pov*“You are actually going to meet her?” I frowned leaning back hearing the doubt in his tone.“Yes! Didn’t I already message your secretary? If you are going to be suspicious then why did you even gave me this threat?” I asked back and he stayed silent hearing that.“This is the last way I thought of after you rejected all those proposals. If not for your uncle’s idea I wouldn’t even think of getting close to the people who harmed your business.” He commented while I rolled my eyes.“They didn’t target me to harm me. It was a fault from our side. I can’t tell you the details but the fault began from my side.” I explained again but he is not accepting those words.“Anyway, you will be backing off, right? I am going to get to know her and you need to not threaten me saying you will also take your investment away.” I adde

*Shrishti Pov*“Why are you smiling at me like that?” I asked frowning at her while she just smiled before glancing at the couch.“I heard you changed the couch yesterday. Why?” she asked turning back while I ignored her stare.Well, he had a good sleep but it looked uncomfortable and I can rest sometimes if I change it into a comfortable one, right?“It’s okay! No need to tell me but should I keep in mind to send everyone home on time and not stay back to do overtime?” I covered my face with the file while shouting.“He is just my friend. And that… the previous one was uncomfortable. He is not going to come here every day.” I pointed out removing the file from my face.“Oh! I thought coming every day for a whole week means coming here every day in the future too.” With that, she turned to leave while I shouted her name.“Just

*Shrishti Pov*What was I thinking? I was not thinking straight for sure. How could I just kiss him like that? At least we stopped before going all the way.But what should I do about him sleeping behind me and us both adjusting on this couch? This is a fine couch for a single person to sleep but not two.His confession shocked me and made me waver as these few weeks I was kind of disturbed with his flirting already and started repeating to myself that he is my friend.Now, his final words just made my grip lose and I actually accepted it. How can I just do it? What if we just realize we are not suitable and ruin our friendship?I am going to lose another friend? I closed my eyes shaking my head and froze when he pulled me closer to his body with his arm around my waist.I know how hard was it to stop us from taking the next step and he even didn’t force me but still if I had ignored my mind then…

*Shrishti Pov*“Hello?” I smiled hearing his voice and that widened hearing his next sentence.“You are coming today?” I glanced at my schedule immediately to make sure I don’t have anything planned for this weekend.After we cut the call, I called over my new assistant to postpone a meeting that is scheduled in the evening to Monday before packing my things.It’s been nearly three months since I shifted to this city and even our relationship shifted to a better angle. Everything is going better than I expected from my business to my relationship and I am even able to Vikranth a few times normally regarding my business.However, I still didn’t share it with any of them regarding my arranged marriage or anything related to it. Even Dad is quiet about it as he doesn’t know the relationship progress between Nitish and me.I smiled entering the villa and found the thr

*Nitish Pov* We traveled in silence and reached the hotel where Shrishti and I stayed yesterday and I realized, I left my luggage here. I got down and rushed to get the luggage fearing they will leave before I return. However, the car is still there and I sighed in relief before reaching the car. Shrishti is still sleeping which made me worry and I checked her forehead to see whether she has a fever but it is normal. “Let her sleep! She said these days she feels sleepy most of the time but had to stay awake because of your Mom’s words about her discipline.” Kanika explained and I flinched hearing those words. “Wow! That’s a bit harsh, Kanika. Did you bring him to join us just to poke him like this? Actually, what did you say to make him come with us and even ask Vikranth’s help by himself?” Prathap asked from the back. “I just told him that he can’t concentrate on just one thing this time and try to work

*Nitish Pov* “Shrishti!” I whispered seeing her leave just like that and what kills me more is her asking me to first think about my business now and then we can talk to each other. “How dare he to talk to me in that tone? Doesn’t he know who I am? I will show him what will happen if he looks down on our family.” Dad burst out. “I will arrange a better marriage for you, Nitish. What is their family for me? It was all just an arranged scheme and there are better ones out there who can even save your company from this contract.” He added and I immediately glanced at him with disbelief. “Do you even hear yourself, Dad? She is not just an arranged scheme for me. She is my future wife and just remove all those thoughts from your head.” I warned him and he shook his head. “If you don’t listen to me, then I will just remove the investment from your company along with my thoughts. Will it be fine?” he threatened me and

*Shrishti Pov* “I should have known you were hiding something like this. What else, Kanika?” Prathap asked her while she glanced at me and I shook my head. She sighed and just continued to explain what else happened along with the words she heard when she stayed there and I heard a loud sound suddenly. I glanced at Vikranth to find him hitting the steering wheel and even Prathap glanced at him from the passenger seat while Kanika and Anny stayed silent between whom I am sitting right now. Vikranth hired a car for us to travel after getting down from the private plane which he also hired to come here immediately. From the moment they reached the hotel, Kanika started telling them everything without hiding a small matter even though I am trying to stop her. “Vikranth! It’s not like that and I actually ignored them all. Don’t think much about it.” However, it doesn’t seem like he is listening to my words at all.

*Shrishti Pov*I didn’t sleep and just laid there even after he felt but opened my eyes when my phone started ringing and got surprised seeing the caller ID.“Kanika? Is everything fine?” I asked sitting up and she stayed silent for a few seconds.“I called you yesterday but your phone was switched off.” She said instead of replying to my question.“Hmm… I was a bit tired with handling things at the Villa and didn’t charge my phone.” I lied without missing a beat just like I lied many times whenever my friends called me to ask how am I doing.“Really?” she asked in a whisper and I frowned realizing her tone doesn’t seem to be normal.“Where are you now? Don’t say you are at the villa.” She immediately added and I paused realizing she somehow knows that I am not at the villa and how she knows that I don’t know.

*Kanika Pov* “So? Why did you come here directly instead of waiting in the living room?” Lisa asked frowning at me and seems like she doesn’t remember me. “I didn’t find anyone when I walked to the entrance and tried calling the number that was given to me but with no response, I came here. Should I have gone back to Mumbai?” I asked back staring at her and her expression just turned worse than the earlier one. “Lisa! You handle it.” Saying that Nitish’s Mom stood up before walking towards me and didn’t even glance at me. After a few seconds, Lisa moved towards me while muttering, “Where did these helpers go? Why are they getting a salary for? Can’t even do one work properly!” I followed her to the living room where the two staff members I brought with me are waiting with the attires. I frowned at the way Lisa is behaving and sat down while gesturing for the clothes and the staff immediately moved to dis

*Lisa Pov*“Did you hear it clearly?” I asked smirking at her face filled with shock and she closed her eyes before opening them with a normal expression to look at me.“Why are you so happy that she doesn’t like me? I didn’t realize you wanted to marry her all this time.” She stated and I glared at her words.“What do you mean by that?” I asked fisting my hands.“I am engaged to Nitish and yes his mother is important but Nitish and I will not lead our lives with her for sure. So, why are you so happy that she is against me when Nitish is the one who wants to marry me even on the day he lands in India if I accept?” I scoffed hearing those words and shook my head.“Are you sure? I am his first love and for whom he started this company and for whom he cares a lot and for whom he can leave everyone if I express my feelings. And to top of that Aunty adores

*Shrishti Pov*“Shrishti! Shrishti!” I groaned opening my eyes only to feel dizzy and immediately closed them back.“I will call the doctor.” What… what is she doing here?After adjusting my eyes a bit, I opened them to see I am in a hospital room and sat up looking around.“How are you feeling now, Ms. Shrishti?” Doctor asked checking my eyes and I gave him a nod before glancing at the person standing beside him.“You can go home but make sure to start the supplements and also avoid any stressful situations to not have another panic attack.” Saying that he walked away and I realized that I actually had a severe panic attack after a long time where I lose my consciousness too.“How are you feeling? Why don’t you stay in the hospital for the night?” she asked reaching my side.“Jenny! What are you doing here? How can you be in

*Shrishti Pov*“Are you still not feeling well, Ma’am? I thought you will get better by taking a rest over the weekend.” My assistant mumbled while I checked the client details for the next event.Rest? I even forgot the meaning of that word. The plan of mine was to take as much rest as possible during the weekend and start working with full energy from Monday.However, I just ended up feeling worse than before and now I don’t even want to keep my eyes open but had to as I already took a long leave before the weekend.If it was Jenny who is my assistant then I could have left everything with her to take another week’s leave but now I can’t do it and on top of that, I don’t want to spend another week 24/7 in that villa with those people.I believed Nitish to settled them down a bit after telling him what happened but it turned worse as they both just stared at me as if I am a c

*Shrishti Pov*“Madam!” I groaned when I felt someone shaking me and slowly opened my eyes to find one of the helpers looking at me worriedly.“What happened, Aunty?” I asked clearing my throat while she checked my forehead.“How are you feeling, Madam?” she asked back and I took a deep breath before letting out a yawn.“I am fine now. Don’t worry about me. I can even go to work after this weekend.” I replied smiling but she didn’t smile back.“It’s true! It’s already been three days since I felt sick and I am fine now.” I assured her and she slowly nodded before stepping back.I glanced at the clock on the bedside to find it’s already past eleven. I gave her a smile and got down from the bed but immediately returned to my previous posture when I started feeling dizzy.“Can you prepare some food, Aunty? I gues
