●Khushi's P.O.V.●

Darsh drove us home after we quickly finished our dinner. He seemed to have wrapped up everything as soon as possible, only to leave for home.

He rattled upstairs silently when we entered the mansion. The house staff were waiting for us in the living room. They became a little alarmed to see Darsh acting that way.

"Is everything okay between you and Master?" Sia rushed over to me and asked with worried eyes.

I nodded and she let out a relieved sigh. My gaze landed on Uncle Hemant, who was observing Darsh stomp upstairs from a corner.

"Uncle Hemant?" I called.

His attention finally shifted to me, and he asked, "Yes, my lady?"

"Can I speak with you for a moment?" I requested. Uncle Hemant's expression briefly turned confused, but he nodded right away.

**********

"What is it, my lady?" As we were both seated across from one another in the garden, Uncle Hemant asked.

"Today, we went out for dinner."

"I know." He smiled.

    ●Khushi's P.O.V.●"I'm so tired of people just walking away from me. Please.." As a tear trickled down his cheek, he continued.It was the same Darsh I had seen at the bus stand that night in the rain. But compared to the other night, he was much more devastated tonight."K-Khushi, I am scared.I am really scared." Darsh uttered it through quivering lips.His grip tightened on my wrist, and he pulled me closer to him. Darsh slid his hands around my waist and hugged me as his head rested on my stomach.I gently ran my hand over his head, stroking his hair. "Why are you scared?"After a brief period of silence, Darsh responded, "I am scared that you will leave me as well, like others." I could hear his cracking voice and feel the tears seeping down my shirt."Why do you always think that I am going to leave you?""Because…. Because I have done something terribly wrong to you." My mouth opened in surprise as Darsh paused."What have you done?" I inquired out of curiosity because I had a

    ●Darsh's P.O.V.●Khushi and I were at the breakfast table. After we finished our meal, we were supposed to head off to work.My wife was enjoying her meal as usual, but I couldn't. As I was eating my food, I kept stealing her glances. She eventually caught me, however, and questioned me with a furrowed brow. "What? Do I have anything on my face?""Eh?" I blinked twice before replying. "No. There is nothing.""Then why are you staring at me like that?""Me? When?" I gaped, acting like an idiot.Khushi gave me a long, suspicious look before rolling her eyes and returning her attention to her meal.What's so amusing about food? She can't even see anyone if there is food before her! I shook my head in disappointment as I thought.*************It was a busy hour at the office. I was particularly busy. Not with work but with the pleasant memories from last night that kept getting in the way of my usual thought process."At this point, I'll lose my mind." I rubbed my temples as I mumbled.A

    ●Darsh's P.O.V.●"It's impossible!" I frowned and closed the browser.I was abruptly brought back to reality when my phone rang. It was Uncle Hemant's call. I received it quickly. "Hello?""Master Darsh, we've lost the project." He spoke in a timid tone."What?" I scowled."Yes.Despite my best efforts, someone else received the project." He apologised."Who? Who got the project?" I asked with a grave tone.He responded, "Mittals.""Fine," I muttered while gritting my teeth. "Come back. We need to discuss it.""As you say, Master Darsh."We spent three months working on this project. How did Mittal manage to land the job? I contemplated as I ended the call.My train of thought was cut short by a knock on my office door. I asked, turning to face the door, "Who is it?""Bro, it's me, Akash."Why in the world is he here right now? I exhaled a disappointed sigh. "Come in."After he received my approval, Akash hurried inside. He wore a baggy shirt, jeans, a mask, a hat, and goggles. All of

    ●Khushi's P.O.V.●"Th-that's not important.""Why not?" "The news was talking trash about you because they thought you were dating me for money," Darsh explained with a worried voice."I see. It would have upset my parents, for sure.""Don't worry. I stopped the news from broadcasting within an hour before it spread much." He assured me. "Thanks." "You don't need to thank me.""Hmm. Why not? Because you are my husband?" I questioned him, planning to tease him as soon as he responded.Darsh, however, remained silent. His face seemed anxious over something. I was clueless as to why Darsh behaved so strangely some of the time. What exactly had he done to me? He seemed so fragile and helpless in those times that I couldn't help but pity him.I placed a hand over his shoulder, giving him a little squeeze. "What are you thinking?"After a prolonged pause, he finally said, "Nothing.""Why don't you tell me what's troubling you so you can stop constantly feeling guilty about it? What's ca

    ●Darsh's P.O.V.●"F***!" My mind went blank as I saw her running out of the office. I had to explain the whole situation to her before she misunderstood me and made any extreme decisions.I turned to Anannya, who was still in shock. I wanted to choke her to death right away. However, I didn't have the time to even stand. Thus, I rushed to the door after stating, "You're fired!" As I arrived at the door and tried to open it, it didn't. Khushi had locked the door before leaving."I have the contract signed with the Sinha company!" Anannya shouted from behind."Screw agreement and contract. I'll see you in court. You don't even know what you have called upon yourself!" I declared before rushing back to the desk and searching for the remote.As I found the Remote, I turned on the mirror wall. A group was passing by my office right then. I knocked on the wall to gain their attention and it worked. They seemed a bit taken aback to see me communicating through that wall.I mouthed "Open the

    ●Darsh's P.O.V.●I was in the vehicle that Uncle Hemant was operating. Khushi's head was on my lap. My clothes were filling up with her blood."She is losing so much blood! Drive it fast, Please!" I begged while sobbing uncontrollably as I watched my life suffocate in my arms. There was nothing I could do but wait."Yes! I'm trying my hardest." He answered in a worried voice, making a few turns to hurry to the closest hospital.I carried Khushi inside as soon as our car got to the hospital. She was taken to the operating room right away after the doctor received her as an emergency case. And I was left alone once again outside the ICU.I took a seat in a chair close to the intensive care unit and continued to pray to the unknown. I felt a presence beside me. It was Uncle Hemant.He placed a hand on my shoulder. I looked at him as the tears didn't stop flowing."Uncle, Khushi…" After those words, I wasn't even able to say anything. He patted my back to comfort me."You love her, right?

    ●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

    ●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

    ●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
