◆Darsh's P.O.V.◆"So, yes, I heard pretty much everything," Akash finished as he continued to stare at Khushi, and it surprisingly irritated me.So, Uncle Hemant caused this blunder, huh?Uncle Hemant, a little bit away from us, avoided my gaze as soon as our eyes met, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead. I sighed; it wasn't entirely his fault; anyone would look for the cause of Khushi's terrible screams from yesterday.However, once I focused on Khushi, I saw her face-palming herself and staring at Akash like a pervert. Akash had also noticed this, and he turned to me and asked in signs, "Is she okay?"She was more than okay after finally meeting her ultimate crush, apparently per her memories.I could tell how perverted thoughts might have been running inside her head while she admired Akash. And it started to piss me off slowly.I was convinced that she must be planning to use me as leverage to get close to Akash.Look at the lust on her face! Ewwwwww. Uh-huh. Like I am goi
◆Khushi's P.O.V.◆Following that day, stories regarding Darsh and my romantic interactions abounded throughout the mansion. Eventually, Sia would bring it up to tease me. Days went by swiftly. I had been residing alone in the bedroom for the past eight days because Darsh had to leave soon on a business trip to Tokyo. Every day, the maids gave me a lot of support as I recovered. Still, it continued to ache when I walked, and I frequently felt light-headed.Dr. Jain and Akash checked on me from time to time. Even though it was pleasant to view my ultimate crush so closely, I somehow realised that my attraction to him had diminished.Suddenly, I was missing my perverted husband more than Akash. It astounded me. And the desire to reclaim my memories increased even more. Most of the time, I felt empty within and missed Darsh, since life without him seemed dull.However, mostly I wanted to know why a billionaire would want to marry a waitress. Was the marriage truly a love story, or was the
A few more days went by, and I was getting quite bored just lounging around the house. My legs were now better, and I was able to walk by myself. The wound on my head kept me awake at night some of the time. According to Dr. Jain, that was the most serious injury I had sustained in the accident.And since we hadn't fought in a very long time, I was missing my husband terribly. He never called me, and surprisingly, it pissed me off.I noticed my leg was better than before as I walked carefully down the stairway, tagging Sia behind me. And I could at least walk alone freely."Nice! I feel a lot better now." I mumbled."Yes, Khushi ma'am, you have recovered so fast," Sia said from behind."Yeah. But now that I can move, I should do something. I'm really bored.""Yes, you can take a walk in the garden," Sia answered."I'd like to go somewhere else. Tell someone to get the car ready.""I'm sorry, ma'am, but it's not possible," Sia spoke as she gripped the hem of her uniform."What?! Why
◆Darsh's P.O.V.◆Everyone thought I was returning soon because I wrapped up my work earlier than expected. However, that wasn't exactly the reality.I was a little annoyed with myself for returning to the mansion early.Why? I had a few theories for that.First of all, Khushi was sick, and I felt a great sense of responsibility for her. Second of all, since I left the house, I had not once engaged in conversation with Khushi. She never once texted me or even contacted me to check on me. I feared that she had forgotten about me once again.On the other hand, I didn't get the time to check on her as well. But, I asked Uncle Hemant to look into the situation and keep me informed.According to him, Akash visited her a few times while I was away. And it was the final reason for my frustrations. What if Khushi learned that everything I told her about myself was a lie after Akash and Khushi discussed me? that my charming and joking demeanour was a deception from the start. What was I going
◆Khushi's P.O.V.◆"Why do you always use me as your punching bag?" Darsh frowned."I-I'm sorry. It wasn't for you. I thought it was that creep!""But it hurt me." He grumbled. "At least do something to ease the pain.""Gosh! You're such a crybaby." I rolled my eyes while massaging his shoulder. And a cynical grin appeared on his lips."But how are you here? Weren't you out of the country for business reasons?" Curious, I inquired."Well, two monkeys escaped my zoo. I'm here to catch them." He uttered.I gasped at his words. "You didn't just call us monkeys!""Congratulations! Your ears are functioning flawlessly." He grinned."Wtf!""I can see your foot is completely well because you were able to easily elude my mansion's security and walk anywhere you pleased." He said it in a composed manner. His expression darkened, which intimidated me a little. However, it was a million times preferable to being caught by those scumbags."Now, should we return to the mansion? We have a lot to dis
◆Khushi's P.O.V.◆As soon as I entered the bedroom, I lost control of my rage and began to swear at Darsh. Tears started to form in my eyes. And I despised how they made me appear weak when my anger converted into tears.I jumped onto the bed and curled up on my stomach while berating my beloved husband with the most beautiful words."Ahem, ahem."I was drawn to the sound of a dramatic throat clearing. Glancing back, I found Darsh standing to the right beside the bed, towering over me."Wtf!" I cursed and flinched back a little. "What, are you a ghost? How come I didn't notice when you walked inside?""That's not my fault. Maybe you were too occupied with cursing me."I rolled my eyes and stood up from the bed to leave the room."Are you that afraid of me that you can't even be in the same room as me now?" Darsh asked, a sardonic grin lingering on the corner of his lips."Scared?" I snorted. "Why? What are you? A Ghost? A Monster?""Then, why are you slinking out of the room like a co
● Khushi's P.O.V.●I was strolling across the garden after dinner."This CEO must be incredibly wealthy to have this enormous mansion and all the expensive items." I mumbled.The night was calm, and I could hear the crickets singing. Bright light emanated from the half-moon in the sky.However, a strange feeling gradually took over my mind."Something similar happened before. But when?" I uttered, trying to recall the time when I had been having a night like that. But again, my mind went blank. Before that vehicle crash flashed in my head again and made me feel ill inside, I gave up trying to remember anything.I guess I'll have to wait to find out.I opted to continue walking after shaking those thoughts away with a sigh.Out of nowhere, two hands gripped my arms and bent them behind them while a person came in front of me wearing a black cloak and a ghost mask on their face.What the hell is happening? Who are they? Kidnappers? But Darsh has strict security, right? I grew anxious as
●Khushi's P.O.V.●First, Darsh tricked me, and then he kissed me without my permission!! It was my first kiss ever! Well, at least that's how I remember it. And Darsh stole it by force! That son of a b****!Darsh had me more than prepared to murder him, but it was nearly impossible to escape his hold. He had beastly strength. With one hand on my waist and the other on my neck, he drew me in to make the kiss deeper.I persisted in pushing him, but deep down, I knew I had wanted this for so long. Thus, finally, I caved in and allowed him to have that one moment of his own will."Why am I so weak against him?" I asked myself inside my head but got no answers.A long minute passed, and at last, Darsh moved away."You're disgusting!" I mumbled, catching my breath."I can be anything for you, honey." Darsh extended his hand, and his fingertips touched my cheek."Did you eat strawberries a while ago?" He smiled at me and asked."Ho-how did you know?"Darsh leaned closer and whispered in my e
●Khushi's P.O.V.●A Few weeks Later~"Are you nervous?" Darsh asked as he hugged me from behind."A little," I uttered as I smiled at him from the mirror."Why, though? It's just our anniversary party." Darsh said, kissing my head."I'm not sure." I grinned apprehensively."Just breathe.Or I can help you relax." As his arms began to gradually encircle my stomach, he whispered in my ears."Darsh!Everyone is at home." I scolded him."So what? You are my wife, and this is my house. I can always express my love to my wife." He said and started placing slow kisses on my neck, sending shivers down my spine."Darsh, would you please stop?" After a groan, I spoke."Well, you certainly don't sound like you want me to." I heard him chuckle in my ears as he kissed me down my neck and moved to kiss my back. I was about to push him away when our bedroom door was knocked on by someone."Everyone is waiting for you downstairs, Master and My Lady." Uncle Hemant spoke up from the outside."His timing
●Khushi's P.O.V.●Bip...bip..bip…The heart rate machine kept beeping as I stared at Darsh's unconscious face. He was unresponsive as he lay on the hospital bed. His face was covered in bruises, and bandages were placed across his body.I kept praying for him to wake up as tears streamed down my face. It had been a day already since he had been there.It was not a great view to look at. Nobody was aware of the cause of Darsh's fragile state. Though we assumed Harsh Raj beat him by taking advantage of the time when he was helpless.But the main question was, why did he not fight back and protect himself? I couldn't stop asking those questions to myself.When I was busy contemplating, I felt his hand move a little. Wondering if it was just my imagination, I focused all my concentration on him. I gaped when Darsh finally slowly opened his eyes after a few seconds.I wiped my tears away quickly and drew nearer to him.Darsh closed and opened his eyelids quite a few times. He appeared to b
●Darsh's P.O.V.●My phone rang while I lay powerless on the ground. I struggled to get it out and answered the phone."H-ello.." I uttered in my trembling voice."Darsh, our plan is successful." From the other end of the call, Akash informed me.My dejected eyes brightened as I slowly rose to my feet while holding onto the trunk of the car."Send the cops," I smiled through my painful, gushing wounds as I ordered and disconnected the call."Harsh Raj?" I spoke clearly enough for Harsh Raj to hear. He came to a stop and looked at me with a knitted brow as he turned around."Has the shock driven you insane?" He smirked."Uh, well, there is no fellow alive in the world to make me go insane," I said, smiling through my bloody teeth. Harsh Raj appeared uneasy when he observed my sudden confidence."Then, what is it?" However, he still managed to smirk."Heh, It's your end that I could see with my open eyes," I grinned, earning a sneer from him."You're still trying to act arrogant after lo
●Darsh's P.O.V.●I was waiting at the mentioned address for twenty minutes. It was an empty region with a deserted roadway and tall, wild trees lining both sides of it. Every two minutes, I glanced at my wristwatch and looked around to check if Harsh Raj was there or not.Only I knew how I was able to leave my office, avoid the reporters, and make it to my destination at the specified time.Every second that went by made me more and more frustrated. I hit the steering wheel, clicking my tongue in fury. It was my mistake to not make sure whether the guard was being strict and proper at the hospital. Khushi wouldn't have to experience such a nightmare if I were a bit more cautious.How could I have overlooked the possibility that Harsh Raj might harm Khushi? How? I hit my head on the steering wheel, feeling my skin crawl with fear deep inside my heart.Why is he still not here? Wait! Did he lie to me? Will he kill her before we meet?I flinched at a startling noise, but when I realised
●Khushi's P.O.V.●I remained in the room alone as Akash left, having promised me that he would deliver the message I had sent to Darsh.The words from Uncle Hemant and Akash were still circling in my head.Doesn't that mean Darsh has truly changed if Akash can even recognise his sincerity towards me? He genuinely wants to be with me for his love and not to uphold his reputation.Maybe I should give him one chance to prove his words. I thought about it as I consumed the food that the nurse had given me.After a while, the doctor came and checked me up."How are you feeling, Mrs. Sinha?""Better.""That's great. Any dizziness or headache?""Last night, I felt a little lightheaded, but I'm fine now. Though I can feel a slight headache," I answered."It'll be alright soon," He assured me with a smile."Has Mr. Sinha left the hospital, by the way, Mrs. Sinha?" He lowered the stethoscope from his ears and asked.I replied, "Yes, he left a while ago," in a low voice, while his name made me r
●Darsh's P.O.V.●I fixed my gaze on the screen displaying Rishav Mittal and Harsh Raj's earlier works, which they had attempted to conceal but which my spies had dug up from the grave."F***king Pervert Ba*****!" As I looked at the data on the screen, I clicked my tongue."You are shocked as well, Master? When I read the case of Harsh Raj raping and killing a girl, I felt the same way.After that, Harsh Raj threatened to kill her other family members to shield himself from the law. In the end, the victim's family was powerless to take action against him, and he got out of it easily." While wiping the sweat from his brow, Uncle Hemant stated it."As I suspected, Harsh Raj is really a filthy pig. We have just unlimited files to send him behind bars." I expressed my anger as I spoke. I was truly disgusted by Harsh Raj."Mittal is also involved in illicit activity, but it is all associated with business. The real scumbag is Harsh Raj.First, we need to take down Harsh Raj anyhow. Then, usi
●Khushi's P.O.V.●When I lost my memory, I always had the strange sensation that something inside me was forcing me to treat Darsh terribly without any cause. When I regained my memories, I realised those were old memories, which motivated me to return the favour.I wanted to forget about him. I wanted to despise him. My desires came true, but the unknown made me fall in love with him again? And even then, I found him with that woman, Anannya, in an intimate position. Once again!Darsh claimed he had evidence to support his innocence this time but I couldn't find the strength to forgive him.It felt like fate was playing a sick joke on me.Why would I be upset if Darsh started dating someone else when we had a contract to marry each other? I was behaving selfishly even when I promised myself I'd be professional.As I watched Darsh leave my room, a tear trickled from my eye. Those past few months had been incredible for me too. The way we discovered each other at that time was strangel
●Darsh's P.O.V.●Later that night~A nurse approached Khushi's room, carrying a food tray. I got up and stopped her."Let me take it to her," I said.The nurse blinked twice before nodding her head and handing over the tray of food to me. I inhaled and exhaled heavily before going into her room.As soon as I entered, I found Khushi sobbing, sitting on the bed with her face buried in her palms. I hurried over to her, set the tray down next to her bed, and worriedly asked, "What's wrong?""Khushi, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Tell me!" I touched her head.Khushi slowly raised her face, wiping her tears away as her eyes grew furious."Nothing!" She declared. "Just leave."I couldn't help but neglect her order."When I used to cry, you always stayed with me and comforted me," I said, feeling remorseful. "But today, when you're crying, I'm not sure how to make you feel better.I'm not great at comforting people.Actually, I had never really comforted anyone before.But if you tell me
●Darsh's P.O.V.●"Yes."I was completely speechless at Khushi's reply. I didn't know what to say to her anymore. My voice got stuck somewhere inside my throat as the sweat beads formed on my temples.I didn't know how she was going to react at that moment. In my entire life, that was the situation I dreaded the most. I was frightened to hear about the old days when I was a jerk to her. When I treated her so poorly!"Well, I….I…." I tried to speak but couldn't find the exact word to put in a sentence. Khushi was staring down at me with the same smile on her lips."I want you to know that what you witnessed at the office wasn't true. I can prove it. You can check the footage." I finally blurted it out anxiously."Let's not talk about all this," Khushi murmured."What? Why not?" My fear was replaced by confusion. I was certain she didn't forgive me for kissing Anannya, so why was she avoiding the topic?"I think I have done enough of these things after memory loss." She smiled."What thi
