The hum of the jet’s engine provided a constant backdrop to the tension-filled silence between them. Hema had managed to doze off, her body slightly turned toward the window, her breathing even. But even in her sleep, her subconscious felt the weight of his gaze on her.

When she stirred awake, a shiver ran down her spine. She opened her eyes groggily and turned her head slightly.

Zayden was still looking at her.

His head rested against the headrest, his fingers tapping lazily against the armrest of his seat. But his eyes—dark, intense, unwavering—remained on her. The smirk playing on his lips told her everything. He knew she felt his presence even in her sleep.

Annoyed, she immediately unbuckled her seatbelt and stood up. Without saying a word, she walked straight to the restroom, locking the door behind her.

She leaned against the sink, exhaling a sharp breath.

Her hands trembled slightly as she turned on the faucet, splashing cold water on her face. Droplets trickled down her skin a

  • DEVIL’s GRIP   Chapter 42- 1month to win

    The city lights of New York flickered as the private jet landed at the airport. Hema stepped out, inhaling the crisp night air, her hands gripping the handle of her suitcase tightly. The moment she stepped onto the pavement, Zayden’s assistant moved forward to help with her luggage.She took a step back. “I can handle it,” she said firmly, pulling her suitcase towards her.“I have arranged for you to stay at my mansion,” he said casually.Hema turned to face him completely, her expression unwavering. “I may be in America, but I still follow Indian customs,” she replied.Something in her voice made his smirk falter for a second.His admiration for her only grew. She wasn’t like the women he usually encountered—those who melted at his charm. She had her own identity, her own beliefs, and she wasn’t afraid to stand by them.She called for a cab, and as it pulled up, she turned back to him.“If you don’t even give me time, how will I impress you?” Zayden asked, leaning against the car.Sh

    The city was bathed in golden streetlights as Zayden leaned against the headboard of his bed, scrolling through his phone. His fingers hovered over Hema’s chat window before he finally typed:Zayden: Miss me already?A few seconds passed, then a reply popped up.Hema: That’s your problem.He smirked, amused by her sharp response. Just as he was about to put his phone away, he noticed something.A typing indicator.She was typing.For a very long minute.Zayden frowned slightly, curiosity piqued. What was she about to say? What was making her hesitate?Then, the message appeared.Hema: Show me around the city.Zayden straightened. His grip on the phone tightened.Was this her way of giving him a chance?Without wasting a second, he grabbed his car keys and strode out of his penthouse. He picked one of his most luxurious cars—a sleek black Lamborghini—before heading straight to the hotel.The moment he called her, she told him she was coming down.And then he saw her.She stepped out of

    As Zayden’s car came to a smooth halt near Hema’s hotel, he caught sight of a few men standing near the entrance. His jaw tightened.Without a word, he reached out and pulled the scrunchie from her ponytail.Hema turned to him with an exasperated glare. “Why did you give it back then?”His voice was calm but possessive. “Not to wear a pony before any other men. Remember?”Her eyes widened, then narrowed in irritation. She let out a frustrated sigh, brushing her fingers through her now-loose wavy hair.Zayden only smirked.She reached for the car door handle, ready to escape his maddening presence, but his voice stopped her.“Hema.”Her breath hitched, her fingers pausing on the handle.She turned her head slightly, not looking directly at him. “What?”Zayden’s gaze was dark, unreadable. His voice was lower now, almost hesitant—something uncharacteristic for him.“Can you give me something, In return for showing you the city…”Hema frowned. “What?”Zayden clenched his jaw. He was pathe

    Hema stood in front of the mirror in her hotel room, her fingers gently brushing over the mark on her neck. The faint redness had darkened overnight, standing out against her skin like a burning reminder of what had happened inside that car.She exhaled sharply and reached for her concealer, dabbing it over the mark with quick strokes. But even after layers of makeup, she felt like it was still there—like Zayden had claimed her, not just physically but mentally.Shaking her head, she let her hair fall naturally over her shoulders, ensuring the strands covered the mark completely. It was fine. No one would notice.By the time she stepped out of the hotel lobby, she saw him.Zayden was leaning against his car, his suit immaculate as usual, his arms crossed as he watched her approach.His eyes—those damn eyes—immediately scanned her neck, his smirk widening ever so slightly.Hema ignored him, walking past as if he wasn’t standing there, but just as she reached for the back door of the ca

    The day had been long, and Hema was finally taking a break, stretching her stiff muscles when she glanced at the glass wall of her office. That was when she saw something that made her pause.Zayden was walking out of his roomBut he wasn’t alone.Nina was with him.Nina was speaking in hushed tones, and Nina’s body language was oddly confident. She was standing too close, leaning in ever so slightly as if she had every right to invade his space.Zayden wasn’t pushing her away.Hema felt something uncomfortable settle in her chest, but she forced herself to turn away.It didn’t matter.He wasn’t her problem.She forced her attention back to her laptop and got back to work, shutting out every unnecessary thought.For hours, she worked relentlessly, her fingers flying across the keyboard,Just as she was finalizing a few points, she heard a knock.On the interconnecting door.Her fingers paused over the keyboard.Before she could say anything, the door pushed open, and Zayden stepped in

    The next day, Hema was alert from the moment she stepped into the office. There was something odd about the way Nina and Zayden interacted. She had noticed it before, but today, she couldn’t ignore the subtle way Nina leaned toward him, showing him something on her iPad—too close for comfort.Zayden, as usual, was unreadable. His focus seemed entirely on the conversation, but Nina’s eyes held something else. Something possessive.Hema exhaled, shaking her head. Not my business, she reminded herself.Yet, when she saw them stepping into the lift together, her curiosity got the better of her.Her brows furrowed.Instead of heading to her office, she made her way toward the lifts, her coffee in hand, walking casually as if she had no real purpose. She kept an eye on the display above the lifts.Her pulse spiked when she saw it stop at B3.She moved toward the large glass windows that overlooked the building entrance from the upper floors. If they were leaving for a meeting, she would see

    Hema stood near the entrance of Zayden’s office, arms crossed, eyes sharp with accusation. The moment she saw him stepping out of the private lift with Nina, something in her snapped.She had waited, given herself time to process, but the irritation simmered inside her, refusing to be ignored.Zayden adjusted the cuffs of his suit, exuding his usual unbothered elegance. But when his gaze met hers, something flickered in his expression—an unspoken acknowledgment of the fire in her eyes.“You’re upset,” he stated, voice calm, as if it were a fact rather than an observation.Hema let out a scoff, stepping forward. “Oh, so you noticed? Impressive. You’re sharper than I thought.”Nina, who stood beside him, shifted slightly, folding her arms.“I don’t know what you’re assuming,” Nina interjected, her tone neutral but carrying a hint of amusement.“Oh, don’t you?” Hema shot back. “Let me make it clear then—both of you disappeared for a long time into a secret elevator.

    The morning light streamed through the luxurious bedroom, casting a golden hue over the silk sheets. Hema slowly stirred, her body feeling sore yet incredibly warm. As her consciousness settled, she realized she was wrapped in a soft bedcover, nestled against a familiar sculpted body.Her eyes widened. Zayden.He lay beside her, his bare back exposed, muscles chiseled like a sculpture. His slow, steady breathing indicated he was still asleep—or so she thought.Before she could move, his hand snaked around her waist, pulling her flush against him.“Where do you think you’re going?” His husky morning voice sent a shiver down her spine.Hema swallowed, suddenly hyper-aware of her own nakedness beneath the sheets.“I—” she started, but before she could say anything, Zayden shifted, rolling onto his back and pulling her on top of him.His fingers traced lazy circles on her bare back, his eyes dark with something she had seen so many times before—hunger.“I am so crazy for you,” he murmured

    The hospital lights were far too bright for Zayden’s comfort, but nothing about this day was supposed to be comfortable. He paced the hallway outside the operating theater, Ira cradled carefully in his arms. She looked up at him with those curious eyes, still too young to understand why her usually composed father was walking in frantic loops across polished tiles.Across the hall, Mark looked equally stricken. His face was pale, and his fingers drummed nervously on the side of the chair as he watched the double doors of the maternity wing like a man waiting for a verdict.“Mommy will be here soon,” Zayden muttered, adjusting Ira’s blanket answering her,Zayden nodded. “You think Mia’s okay?”“Mia is okay but I am not,” Mark fired back, trying to force a grin but failing. “Mia threatened to castrate me if I faint during delivery. So yeah, my brain is doing backflips.”Just then, the double doors opened.A nurse walked out, pulling off her mask. “Mr. Zayden?”He stepped forward, heartb

    He crashed his mouth to hers—hard, needy. Her hands tangled in his hair as he pressed his body against hers, her thighs wrapping around his waist instinctively. His kiss was urgent, deep, the kind that made her forget where she was. He pulled back just enough to yank her top over her head, exposing her soft breasts, nipples already hard.Zayden groaned at the sight of her and buried his face between them. He licked, kissed, nipped—lavishing each breast with slow, deliberate attention. Hema arched into him, her fingers gripping the bedsheet. His mouth worked her expertly, moving from her breasts to her neck, sucking gently, leaving a trail of wet heat down to her belly.By the time he reached between her legs, she was trembling. His fingers teased her clit, slow circles that made her moan into the air. He loved watching her unravel under his touch—loved seeing her lose control.“Zayden…” she gasped, her thighs twitching. “I need you… inside me.”His lips made a curl. “ you are losing y

    The drive stretched endlessly, winding through green hills and coastal turns, the golden hue of the sun bathing the road in warmth. Zayden had planned this break meticulously—no calls, no business, no parenting duties. Just Hema and him, for five full days. Their daughter Ira was safely with Mia, and for the first time in over a year, Hema felt… untethered.She sat in the passenger seat, hair loosely tied, her eyes half-lidded as she stared at the moving landscape. The windows were down just enough for the wind to tousle her strands. Zayden glanced at her sideways, and the way her lips parted ever so slightly—it stirred something primal in him.“You know,” he said, reaching over to entwine his fingers with hers, “I’ve been imagining this trip for weeks.”Hema looked over, already smiling. “I can tell. You’ve been grinning like a maniac since we left.”“I just missed having you to myself,” he said, his voice dropping. “No diapers. No meetings. No interruptions.”She giggled. “And what

    The following evening, the golden light of sunset poured into the wide windows of the mansion. Ira was curled up peacefully in her little crib beside the cushioned couch, her tiny hands resting near her face, making gentle sleepy sounds as she dreamed. Hema sat cross-legged on the plush rug nearby, brushing out her hair while Zayden sat beside her, lazily scrolling through photos of Ira’s first steps with an affectionate grin plastered on his face.Mia strolled into the room in her usual confident gait, dressed in her casual yet elegant loungewear, holding a small gift box in one hand.“For the little queen,” she said, placing the box near Ira’s crib and kneeling to press a soft kiss on the baby’s forehead. “I still can’t believe she walked. I missed it!”Hema smiled warmly, setting her brush aside. “She’ll walk into your arms next time. Or maybe run.”Mia’s eyes twinkled as she looked at Hema. “She better. I’m planning to bribe her with toys and secrets.”Zayden chuckled, “Spoiling h

    The grand mansion buzzed with life as little Ira, now a spirited one-year-old, filled its halls with her infectious laughter. Her tiny hands and knees propelled her swiftly across the marble floors, making her the darling of everyone—from the seasoned housekeepers to Zayden’s meticulous assistant, Mark. Each had succumbed to her charm, their days brightened by her presence.One particular afternoon, Ira’s curiosity led her on an unexpected adventure. The distant sound of raised voices echoed through the corridors, drawing her attention. Recognizing her mother’s voice, she set off, her crawling turning into determined steps as she clung to walls and furniture for support. The babysitter, momentarily distracted, turned to find Ira missing from her side. Panic surged as she began her search, only to spot the child making her way toward the commotion.Inside the master bedroom, tension crackled. Hema stood her ground, arms crossed, eyes blazing with frustration. Zayden, looking remorseful

    The grand black gates of the mansion opened slowly, the familiar creak echoing through the long driveway lined with blooming jasmine. The late afternoon sun bathed everything in golden light as Zayden stepped out of the sleek black SUV, carefully cradling Ira in one arm, while holding Hema protectively with the other. Hema’s steps were slower, her body still weak from the birth, but her heart was full—this was a different kind of return. One not born out of pain or escape, but healing.Mia stood at the entrance, wearing a simple beige dress and a soft, rare smile on her face. Her sharp eyes shimmered the moment she spotted Ira. She rushed down the stairs barefoot, arms extended. “There she is—my little angel!” Mia’s voice trembled with emotion.Zayden grinned as he gently passed Ira into her arms. “She missed her aunt, didn’t she, baby?” he murmured, planting a kiss on Hema’s forehead.Hema chuckled softly and nodded. “We named her,” she said, watching Mia’s eager face.“Oh?” Mia rais

    Hema lay curled up beside Zayden, her body still sore from the C-section she had just a week ago. Their baby girl, Ira, was sleeping peacefully next to her in a bassinet . Hema and Zayden had been through so much together, and now, with their little family complete, they felt like the luckiest people in the world.Hema caught him staring and gave him a coy smile. With a mischievous glint in her eye, she slowly reached up and unzipping her kurti, exposing one of her full, heavy breasts."Have a taste," she purred seductively, her voice low and inviting. Zayden's breath hitched as he took in the sight of her perfect breast, the nipple already engorged with milk. His cock instantly hardened, straining against his boxers. He swallowed thickly, desire burning in his veins.Zayde arched an eyebrow. "Are you sure, my love?"Hema nodded with a smile,Zayden's eyes darkened with lust. "I'll be gentle. I promise."In one swift movement, he leaned over her, pressing soft kisses along the swel

    The tarmac glistened under the late afternoon sun as Zayden led Hema gently toward the sleek, private jet waiting for them. The sound of soft wind mixed with the distant hum of the plane’s engines. Zayden had one arm securely wrapped around Hema’s waist, supporting her as they walked slowly, while the other held baby Ira against his chest with practiced care.Behind them, two of Zayden’s men followed with their luggage, handling everything swiftly without a word. The elderly couple had waved goodbye, tears in their eyes, just a few minutes ago. Now, as they approached the jet’s steps, Zayden helped Hema up first, handing the baby over for a moment so he could lift her easily.“You don’t have to carry me every time,” Hema mumbled, half-blushing, half-teasing as he lifted her as if she weighed nothing.“You say that as if I’m going to stop,” Zayden smirked. “Let me enjoy being your crutch for a while longer.”He helped her to the spacious cabin of the jet, where a luxurious bed had alre

    Zayden stood by Hema’s side as she slowly made her way down the hospital corridor, holding tightly onto his hand. Every step she took was careful, her body still sore, but determined. She didn’t complain. Her grip on his hand tightened whenever the pain in her abdomen throbbed, but she said nothing—only looked ahead, her face slightly pale but strong.Zayden, ever watchful, didn’t take his eyes off her for even a second.“You don’t have to push yourself,” he said gently, adjusting his arm around her waist.“I’m not pushing,” she whispered. “I just want to feel normal again.”Zayden chuckled softly.They reached the end of the hallway, and Hema paused near the window, looking outside at the golden morning sun spreading across the hospital lawn. She took a breath, soaking in the warmth. But the next moment, her knees buckled slightly.“Hema!” Zayden immediately pulled her close.She didn’t fall. She collapsed forward—right into his chest, her forehead resting just above his heart. Her a
