*Palak Pov*

“You deal with it, Dad. I just wasted my time for this stupidity.” I can hear my brother’s voice, but I couldn’t look away from the spot where David was sitting.

“Prakash! Stop right there.” Dad’s voice followed and he suddenly placed his hand on my shoulder shaking me.

“It’s better if we leave this place. Everyone is looking at us and it is not a good thing.” I turned to stare at him after hearing those words.

“Was… was she right? He… he did all that?” I asked, trying to control the words when they got stuck in my throat.

“First of all, let’s go home.” He replied, paying the bill after waving for the waiter who immediately reached us.

“No! It’s not true, right?” I asked him in a whisper and he stopped moving.

“Will you move or make another scene? Wa

    TWO WEEKS BEFORE WEDDING DAY*James Pov*“You don’t give it a rest, do you?” he stared at me with a determined look not budging at all no matter how much I am trying to stop him.I was done with my treatment, but this man stopped me from leaving and now trying to raise my temper, no matter how much I am trying to calm down. It’s been half an hour but he is still continuing with this discussion even after listening to my decision.“I am not joking, James.” He warned without any hesitation.“You were behind me all this time to have a proper therapy and just when I started doing that, you came up with another thing.” I pointed out tightening my grip on the chair.“You are talking as if I will benefit from all this. Therapy was for you and this operation will also be for you.” He pointed back.“She was working

    *James Pov*After saying the words ‘I Do’, she didn’t utter a single word and moved like a robot, even while walking out of the church. I can see David at the entrance, staring at us in shock and he is even letting the tears out openly.I know she is walking beside me and thought there will be some interaction from either one of them, but seems like he is shocked by the turn of events.Even I am feeling the shock with myself that I followed her words like this, but all I can think of at that moment was to calm her down because I know the baby is really important.And the words I heard from her doctor is that there shouldn’t be any stress otherwise it will really effect. But after it’s done, I don’t know what to even say to anyone and I don’t know what is going on in her head. At least she is not hyperventilating like before and calmed down after hearing my words.As I ne

    *Palak Pov*I stepped out of the washroom only to find the room empty. So, I crossed the room to reach the door connecting to the office room and found him sitting behind the desk using his phone.“I will talk to you later.” Saying that he hung up when I stood near the door waiting for him to finish his conversation.“I need to go to hospital.” I said before he can say anything else.“I will accompany you. Go and change your attire.” He mumbled, opening the laptop.“I will be fine to go alone.” I stated, but he just sighed.“When you cut off my reply earlier, isn’t it mainly because you want to hide your pregnancy from them? Going with me will not make them suspicious as I will tell them it’s for my therapy.” He explained glancing at me.“Okay!” I mumbled, turning around to walk towards the door, but his

    *Palak Pov*“Chief is asking for you, Dr. Palak.” I turned to see a nurse standing beside me while I collecting my patients files back from the co-workers who took my cases.“Okay!” I mumbled, but continued to check the files to check whether I got the right files and any remarks for yesterday’s treatment.“Maybe because you didn’t even take one complete day as a leave even though you applied for one week, Dr. Palak.” One of them commented making me frown.“I thought you just came yesterday as it was planned because you didn’t give the VIP’s case to any one of us.” Another joined.“But why would he be upset if she is actually here to work?” I ignored their discussion and completed checking the files.After giving them a polite nod, I turned around to reach his cabin before my first patient comes. Even I wanted to take this week

    *James Pov*“You should have come and meet her for a second.” Grace mumbled from beside me while I just concentrated on driving and ignore the report I placed in my pocket.How can this be possible? I finally thought as the company is stable and I can think of my own life from now on but then… I was brought out of my thoughts by Grace’s question.“You know that I am not good at consoling people. I didn’t want to react in a wrong way and end up hurting her. I will meet her later.” I promised wishing that she let go of the topic.“I had to leave early because he came to visit her, but I didn’t see him. I hope everything is fine and at least they get back together. She is really sad to lose the baby.” I nodded hearing her words.“Because of their decisions, an innocent life lost its life

    *David Pov*“Stop! You can’t do anything right now.” They held me back before I can take the second step and I fought them with my everything but I couldn’t stop anything at all like they said and this time I felt the tears forming in my eyes while I lost energy in my whole body. Why? Why did it end like this?After that I don’t even know what is happening around me. Did I just witness my brother marrying Palak? Why? How could this happen?“David! What is this about you planning everything? Is it really true?” I can hear Mom questioning me while I just stood there in the living room waiting for Bhai and Palak to come home along with everyone for the answers.Why did she do it? She replied to my message and accepted for this plan, right? Then why? I closed my eyes, wishing all this to be just a dream. This is not the first time I wished for many things to be just a dream.

    *Palak Pov*I sighed, staring at him while he is trying his best to act as if he is handling some important call, whereas I know he is just trying to stall as much time as he can.“Done?” I asked when he finally cut the call before moving towards the place I am sitting.“I will get another call soon.” He replied scrolling on his phone.“You already extended your therapy for fifteen minutes and now we stayed here for another fifteen minutes. How much more time do you want to give him before we can step in?” I asked, leaning back while checking the time hoping we are not troubling my doctor.“It’s not his mistake. The meeting extended unexpectedly and as his brother, I want to wait for him.” He shook his head while explaining as if he is talking about something I will never understand.“I can go alone, you know.” I pointed out holding my bag.

    *David Pov*When my phone started vibrating I opened my eyes but stayed in the same position for a few seconds wishing I can again place my head on her shoulder after shifting away, but I know I can’t no matter what if I don’t want her to completely ignore me.“What time is it?” I asked, clearing my throat, finding her sitting still with her eyes on Bhai.“6’o clock!” she replied, relaxing her shoulder after I moved away while I took out my phone only to find five missed calls from Mom.“Did Mom call you?” I asked turning towards her, but she shook her head in negative still not looking at me.“You didn’t have lunch, right? And not even snacks. You should have woke me up. You shouldn’t be on an empty stomach like this. Why don’t you go home?” I asked, standing up still not believing that I slept for nearly four hours.This time

    *David Pov*"Palak!" I whispered her name again to make sure everything is real and not just a dream.I really hope right now I am not in a dream holding her in my arms while lying on the bed in her room. Will I be in my room the moment I open my eyes?"Hmm..." she made the same sound like before not saying anything else and I frowned more hearing the same response."What is it?" she finally asked when I stopped calling her."What if... what if you disappear from my hold when I open my eyes?" I asked honestly not wishing to keep that doubt in my head."I could!" she replied and this is just confirming that all this is really a dream."But if I hold you back, it wouldn't feel like that. Right?" she asked, turning around in my arms before I felt her arms holding me back."David!" she called after a few seconds and I slowly opened my eyes only to meet her stare."Still a dream?" she asked, shi

    *Palak Pov*"I never married James and at church it was just an act. He requested the pastor to just follow along and not be serious about it." I added, ignoring everyone's shocked looks except for Shruthi but she too stared at me in shock hearing these words."James gave me an option to help me go through my difficult pregnancy with some support and also to get complete parental rights without any difficulty. I didn't want to use him for this and so I chose to marry David. I had another reason to do so too." I continued when no one started saying or reacting in some way other than to stare at me in shock.What else should I say? Should I even tell them about my revenge plan? But it will be too much to share with everyone I guess."What? Why didn't you tell me?" I didn't expect Satish to react first and he is actually questioning David and not me."I requested... ordered him to not tell anyone. You were waiting outsid

    *Palak Pov*What have I done just now? I thought, glancing at him and he has the same expression, but that shock left when I found Satish is pushing his way to reach us from the crowd.He pointed out at the guy standing beside my brother and I know that he is the son of the client we came here for. No wonder it was easy for them to act this way as this was his house."I need to add that my husband has been drugged in this party and we are going to take a legal action." I added which stunned Satish but he calmly shifted to stand beside us."We caught the helper who helped the two people who planned this and we have the security footage." He mumbled making me sigh in relief."Thank you for having high level security in your new home, but I need to have a word with you." I said, looking at the client who is still having a bewildered expression on his face."Get the main culprit to get arrested first." I ordered Sa

He already knows my schedule, but he still calls during my work timings and ask about Eli.

    *David Pov*"Is something wrong, David? You had a conference during this time, right?" Mom asked when I calmly walked out of the kitchen after she rushed away."It got postponed." I mumbled, still in shock with my own actions.What have I done? Will she get angry and leave? Oh god! Why didn't I stop myself? Do I regret? No! Somehow I don't regret it, but scared about the result for sure. But then she... she kissed me back and of not for Jasmine's footsteps, I don't know what would have happened.It is a good thing that we heard Jasmine or else it would have been a disaster for sure if they caught us in that situation. Damn it! What am I even thinking right now when there is a chance for her to leave this house because of this?I heard their discussion about the shopping they did and the shopping they have to do later for some time before escaping into my study room, but continued to pace around thinking about a plan t
