Avni's POV

Bill and Lara came out.

" Here she is... " I said.

The doctor checked her and said she was fine. I just smiled. Both the kids ran to the swings.

" Er... Do you mind me asking?? Yesterday, Mr Taylor said that you were Mrs Taylor, while you said you were not married to him. I am a bit confused. " He asked.

" I was married to his brother. " I replied.

" Was married?? "

" My husband died in an accident. " I said calmly on the surface but I was very uncomfortable.

" Oh, I am so sorry. How long ago?? " He asked me another question.

" Almost a year now. "

" Oh... So you are not married now? " he asked, I was getting more uncomfortable with the direction in which the conversation was going.

He was trying to flirt with me. And I knew how to put him off.

" Yeah !! If you will excuse me now, I have to go and tend to the kids. " I said to avoid him.

" Oh, I thought it was time for breakfast. I had to leave very early in the morning. So I didn't get a chance to eat a

  • My Brother's Bride   Chapter 39

    Robert's POVI reached home and saw Tom and Bahadur in the garden. I asked them if everything was fine and they both nodded with a smile.He reported everything regarding all the activities and visitors. I was annoyed at that doctor. Who called him again?? How dare he ask Avni to go on a date?? But was really pleased to hear about the way my ice princess gave him a cold shoulder. I smiled and then tried to hide it but Tom saw it. " She left him to have coffee with me. You should have seen his face. He left without even finishing it. " He was laughing." Good !! " " Yeah !! She is very good, Mr. Taylor."" I know... Did you see Mike anywhere near this area?" I was really happy to hear that but I had to change the topic. " No !! " " Ok !!! Where is Av... Mrs Taylor?" I tried to avoid her topic, but my stubborn mind was stuck on her. I looked around but didn't see her. I just wanted to see her now, so I asked." She went to the stables as she is always there at this time. " Tom

    Robert's POV" Ok, let's not get into it. Let's talk about you. " I said. " What about me?? " she got a bit conscious. " So, since you never had a boyfriend, as you never went out with anyone on a date, why did you agree to go out with John?? " I asked as I was very curious to know what made her accept John's offer. " Oh, John was different. He was as crazy about horses as I was. We usually talked about horses, and gradually, we became friends. " She said casually. " And?? " I prompted as I wanted to know more about their relationship." And?? And what?? " She asked. " And how did he ask you to be his girlfriend and eventually about getting married to him? " I asked and I felt that she went down memory lane. I was looking at her expressions, which were changing frequently as if she was watching a movie or she was reliving those moments. She seemed excited, smiled at the sweet memories, and then became serious and even shocked and scared. Why did she look shocked and scared??

    Avni's POV " Why do you always avoid this conversation?? " He asked. " What?? I don't !! " I said trying to get out of his arms. " I have a feeling... That you are hiding something. Something that concerns John. You always avoid talking about him. " He said. " It is just your assumption. " I said too quickly. " Then tell me about your relationship with John. "Oh God! This man was so persuasive. But I didn't want to answer. Hell, I didn't even know the answer to this question. I just wanted to run away. But he was holding me tight. I could not push things anymore. I have already told him about my dad. And I felt very light after that. That moment I decided that I would not shy away from things. I would not hide things. This is my new life, I wanted to leave everything behind. So here was the chance. I will tell him, or he will keep on asking. " Ok, leave me. " I said and he loosened his arms. " I am not sure why I didn't want to tell him... but maybe because whatever my da

  • My Brother's Bride   Chapter 1

    Robert's POV My night had been a blur of passion, fleeting and empty, yet serving its purpose. In a lavish suite high above the city, I had indulged in another meaningless encounter. She was beautiful, confident—a social butterfly who knew exactly what she wanted. Her laughter had echoed in the dimly lit room, her touch bold and inviting. It had been easy, effortless. A temporary escape from the thoughts that refused to leave me.The first hints of dawn crept through the curtains and our fervor subsided into a soft, lingering warmth, my mind betrayed me, drifting back to a memory that refused to be silenced. I shook my head to clear the thought and get lost in the soft warmth. After about fifteen minutes, the girl got up and went away telling me that she would love to spend more time with me again, I just nodded with a polite smile. I lay there, the sheets still warm from the girl's presence, yet my mind had already drifted somewhere else—somewhere far from the lingering scent of h

  • My Brother's Bride   Chapter 2

    Avni's POV I was in the kitchen, bustling about, preparing breakfast and lunch for my dad and me. When the wall clock struck seven, a sudden panic hit me. “Oh, God, I’m going to be late!” I hurriedly wrapped up my work and rushed to get ready. At school, as I entered my classroom, the lovely smiles of the children instantly lifted my spirits. One little girl, especially fond of me, approached with a wildflower and a drawing in hand. “Ma’am, I got a flower and a card for you. You are my… best teacher,” she chirped, her grin lighting up her face. I knelt down, cradling her in a warm embrace. “Awww… thanks, sweetheart. But you should say ‘favourite teacher.’” “Fav… favour… Best teacher!” she giggled, and in that moment, the purity of their smiles filled me with a strength that made every challenge seem a little lighter. After teaching a new nursery rhyme and leading the children in practice, I made my way to the staff room during lunch. My colleagues were laughing and sharing foo

    Avni's POV Do you have a child?” he asked softly.“No! No!” I snapped, my usually pale cheeks flushing crimson as I turned my head away from him. When I mustered the next words, my voice had dropped to a trembling whisper, “No, I’m not.”How I had longed, in secret moments, to be pregnant—but I wasn’t. A solitary tear escaped, trailing down my cheek.“Forgive me, please. I’m sorry—I meant no distress,” he said, his tone not one of shock but of genuine regret for having upset me.I forced a small smile. “It’s all right. I suppose anyone might have assumed that. It was natural, I guess.”“You like kids, don’t you?” he asked with a warm smile.“Yes, I do,” I replied, feeling a gentle lightness as I recalled the pure sweetness of little ones. “They’re so sweet and pure at heart.”“I figured as much—that’s why you work here, isn’t it?” he said, and I merely nodded.There was an ease in our conversation that surprised me; talking to him felt unexpectedly comforting, as though his eyes held

    " Then don't you think it is high time you started doing it again?" he said, and I felt a surge of irritation.Who was he to say that? I disliked his interference. Yet, what astonished me more was the intensity of my anger. I had believed myself incapable of feeling anything anymore.But he wasn’t wrong. My own thoughts have been veering in that direction lately. Only last week, I had contemplated returning to the riding club. My anger dissipated.Even Avanti, my sister, had been urging me to do the same. Perhaps she and this gentleman were right. I needed to make an effort. And perhaps this was the right time."Would you like to see the place where John worked? Where did we first meet?" I asked him.He smiled and nodded. His beautiful blue eyes met mine—so reminiscent of John’s, yet different. His eyes held many shades of blue, their depths as captivating as the ocean, pulling me in."Yes, I would," he replied.I did not know why I agreed. The mere thought of going there made me mise

    Chapter 5Avni's POV I cleared my throat, but when they still made no sign of noticing me, I decided it best to leave quietly—I did not wish to intrude upon their privacy. I was utterly mortified at having caught them in the midst of their making‐out. After all, she was my elder sister, for God’s sake, and I so desperately longed to speak with her, as she was the one person who had always guided me.But that could wait; I could not possibly disturb their special moment. They had only been married last month, after all—I would return later, perhaps tomorrow.In my haste to escape, I accidentally bumped into a decorative pot by the door. It toppled over with a resounding crash. I quickly stooped to set it right, red-faced with embarrassment.Within a minute, Avanti appeared to see what had caused the noise. Her face was flushed, her lips slightly swollen. I felt awkward, knowing full well I had already disturbed their intimacy. Forcing a smile, I greeted her, “Hi! Good evening…”“Hi, g

As it is you looked very young to be the mother of these kids. " He smiled at her. I wanted to wipe that smile off his face. " I am not... I am their governess. " " Oh !! Great !! You are Indian, Right?? May I know your name, please?? " He was smiling at her. " Dr Tushar, thanks a lot for visiting. Now, I think, you must leave as your other patients must be waiting for you. Come, I will show you to the main door. " I said in a high tone. He nodded and smiled. " I will be back to check her on my way back. " He said with a smile. " Please don't bother; I will inform you if and when we need to consult you. Please give me your phone number. " " Sure !! " He gave me a curt nod and then turned to smile at her.

    Robert's POVI was still thinking about Sam and Aman when I saw Avni leaving the home and going towards the stables. I followed her out." Going to stables?? Why don't you bring your bed down there?? " I said all of a sudden and she was startled to see me. " Oh, Good morning !! Did I wake you up while leaving?? I am sorry; I tried to be as silent as possible, but..."" No, you didn't. I seem to require as little sleep as you I was in my study talking to one of our clients abroad. " I said and went to greet her in my usual way. I pulled her into an embrace and kissed both her cheeks, though the duration of the kiss was a few seconds longer than usual. A beautiful colour started creeping on her cheeks making her look even more beautiful. I had to think of something else or I would have kissed her senseless. " How is Lara now?? Did she sleep better?? And you?? " " She is fine, her temperature is also normal now. Sleeping peacefully. But it would be nice if a doctor could examine

Her face lit up. " Oh, I love you, Rob. " She hugged me again. " I love you too. Now go and freshen up. I don't want to scare other guests of the restaurant. I want them to see my pretty... No very pretty sister. Go get ready. " I said and she went away. " So, what happened?? " Aman asked me as soon as she went to get ready. " I made arrangements now he can't come here. " " Great!! She had become so upset that she was crying bitterly. I had to soothe her. " He gave me the unnecessary explanation. Maybe he thought that I would be angry to see him embracing my sister. " Thanks, Aman!! Er... Aman, I need your help. " I said as I had to bring them together. " Yeah !! Anything... Why are you hesitating in asking me?? What happened? " He said.

" I panicked and placed my hand on his lips to stop him from kissing me. He was shocked as much as I was but then he smiled and kissed my palm. " You are so cute... Of course, it is right. There is nothing wrong with it. But it can wait. " He turned my hand and kissed the back of it. I tried to pull my hand back. He just smirked and held it tightly. " I need to go and see Lara... " I said not daring to look at him. " Let's go dear... " He said walking towards the kids' room. He was still holding my small hand in his large one. He left my hand only when we reached there and I saw Bill looked tensed. He was looking for us. " What happened, Bill?? " He asked. " She fell asleep all of a sudden and she was shivering. Her face is red and hot!! " Bill explained. " Is it??" I said and ran towards her and touched her forehead.

I can't have feelings for... " I was saying but he didn't even let me finish. " I know you feel as if you would betray John if you have feelings for anyone else. But even he would not want you to live your life like this. You are only 23 years old. You can't spend your life like this. " He said rather sweetly. " We don't love each other. " I said. " Talk about yourself, not me. " He said curtly." Robert... Please try to understand." I pleaded. " Make me... Convince me, and I will convince you that my feelings are genuine. " Oh, God!! This man was too good and persistent. How would I stop him from making a place in my heart like that??But I had to... Because he will hate me when he comes to know everything.
