*Ali Pov*“What do you mean my wife and son?” I asked him, frowning not understanding his words.“Before your incident, you went to India and married a girl there and when you came here she was already pregnant.” He explained which confused me even more.“India?” I asked him, frowning more.“If I have a wife, then why is she not here?” I asked the main question to which he smiled.“We let her stay there until you regain your memory. And she is not some special breed so we already have a thought of getting you marry another woman suitable for this kingdom.” He replied leaning back.“Who are these ‘We’?” I asked and glanced to his side to stare at his minister who is looking down.“Here is the photo of them. We continued to keep them in our surveillance for your sake.” He said, placing a photo before me where I can see a woman and a boy laughing while having ice cream.“I have a wife and son… when did this happened?” I asked, looking at the picture and took it into my hand.“Just before

*Ali Pov*I wanted to talk to her and tell her everything that happened because of which I was unable to reach her. But I should have known my Father would do something like this.“I need to talk to her.” I said, looking at him, but he shook his head.“It is not a good omen to look at the bride before the wedding. And tomorrow morning you can talk to her as much as you want to.” He said shaking his head.“Why did you bring all this wedding business this sudden? We just returned today morning.” I asked, rubbing my neck feeling irritated and anxious to run away to some place.“It is needed to present Harsha to our people. They will not take his position seriously if you don’t get married to her as per our customs. This will benefit your son.” He replied and I don’t have any words after that.After missing so much of his life, I know I will do anything for my son. This is the time to make up for everything.But what about Jhanvi? Maybe, she can still be my friend and the marriage can be

*Nicole Pov*“Are you sure, you will be fine?” I asked her frowning.“Yes! This guy is like behind you for a whole week. And you too seem to be like interested.” She replied making me glare.“I am not asking you whether I am doing a right thing or not going on this date. But I just wanted to know whether you will be fine to stay here alone.” I pointed out to which she just chuckled.“Nic! I am not a baby and I just had some heartache. And tomorrow I have an interview for which I need to prepare. So, just get out of the house and let me concentrate.” She mumbled pushing me towards the door.I wish I didn’t accept this guy’s invitation, but he just kept on asking and he seems like a cool one too. I sighed, feeling bad for her and wish I can do something.“Fine! After you get the job, you need to come out for a party. And maybe he has a friend whom I can set for you.” I said shrugging.“Hello! I didn’t force you to say for him. And by the way, I can’t really date right now. I was ready t

*Ali Pov*“Going somewhere?” I heard the voice and I broke off from my thoughts to see Father standing before us.Then I realized that the jet didn’t take off making me frown and I glanced at Harsha to see him frowning at both of us.“Yes! I told you, right?” I asked Father hoping he didn’t get my plan.“You are not going anywhere near that woman.” He warned me and started instructing the pilot who is standing near to Father.How did he get to know about our plan? I thought thinking about the people who knew and started calculating the person that could be behind this.“That woman will never come to this place and you know well about it. So, both of you get down from this jet.” He continued and suddenly Harsha stood up from his seat.“You all lied to me. You all lied that she will be here.” Harsha started shouting at both my Father and me.“This is not the way for a prince to act.” My father scolded him.“I want my Mom.” He screamed more.“I told you to stay away, but you never listen

*Nicole Pov*“What is it?” I asked Nev when she continued to look at the entrance.“Someone is coming to send us off.” She replied making me frown.“You mean Yash is coming?” I asked her finally feeling relax.I still can’t believe that she didn’t forgive Yash even though he tried so much to woo her and even remove her doubts. She is stubborn, but this went for too long. And now she just packed her things so fast to come with me.This is all Ali fault. He suddenly called me and said I need to leave today itself if my friend also has to come with me.“So, by day after tomorrow morning, you will reach this place?” she asked smiling at me.“Yeah! We will reach, but if your words mean you changed your mind, then maybe I can stay until you guys settled everything.” I offered, but she shook her head.“No! You like him, Nic. And it will be a good thing if you get this sorted out soon before some other issues some between you. Just work on this because I have a feeling that this is special an

*Ali Pov*What should I tell her? Should I tell her that it is my mistake to decide not to have any contact with her anymore after remembering Jhanvi and my son? Or should I tell her that my decision was right?How can I know whether my decision was right or wrong? It was a situation where I felt I deceived two very important people and I need to make it right, but I know I wouldn’t be able to do it if I had contact with Nicole even through phone.When will I get the answers to my questions and when will I be able to reply to her questions? All I know at present is I need to tell her as much as I can.“I am sorry.” Her words stopped my thought process while she gave a small smile.She is apologizing? For what? And she is smiling while here I was expecting her to be angry at me. I shook my head to clear the confusion and ask her about it directly.“Why?” I asked her frowning.“I reacted over the top this morning. I mean I had no right to react like that.” She explained.“No right?” th

*Nicole Pov*“Are you really sure?” I asked him I don’t know for maybe hundredth time, but he still responded with a smile and a word ‘yes’.“You really need not do this, Ali.” I added to which he held my hand with a frown.“What are you really worried about? I already told you that I took care of all my work and I will get a call the moment I need to be here. So, why are you worried that I am coming with you for your friend’s marriage?” he asked with a confused expression.“You don’t know my friend, Ali. She will do all these tests to see whether you deserve me or not. And I don’t know how is she in those tests at present. I don’t want any disturbances and I definitely don’t want to choose a side.” I replied rubbing my forehead.“Whose side will you choose?” he asked in a casual tone.“Hers!” I whispered and glanced at him to see him staring back at me.“She is my first priority, Ali. And I can confidently say that it’s the same for her. We both bonded when we didn’t have anyone and

*Ali Pov*I glanced around to see so many people moving around and giving me weird glances while Yash just talked about his business.“Where is she?” I heard a lady whom Yash introduced as Neville’s mother asked us.“She is freshening up. Did Nev talk to you?” Yash asked her and she nodded before glancing at me.“I am not in her team, but I will not keep quiet if I feel you are not good for Nicole.” With those words she walked off.“What team?” I asked Yash and he just sighed.“Seems like my fiance had too much quality time when you were freshening up. I am on her team by the way, but I don’t know what she planned.” He replied and before I could ask anything else, Nicole sat beside me hurriedly.“I tried to rush as much as I can. Did she attacked?” her question is directly for Yash who shook his head in negative but I chuckled hearing her words.“We are not at war.” I pointed out and felt relaxed having her beside me.“Ali! I really don’t want you to run away screaming that you don’t

*Nicole Pov*“Thanks for your help, James.” I said, smiling at him when he finally took out the last box from my home.“No problem! But these are a lot of stuffs that are getting transported.” He commented when I followed him outside.“Yes! I don’t know whether they will be fine until they reach India.” I mumbled worriedly.“Which place in India?” he asked when the delivery guy started loading the boxes into his van.“Kolkata! You can visit anytime you want and you will love the place.” I replied and signed the needed documents.But the van started moving and immediately stopped. I frowned and glanced before it to see a two people standing before it.“What’s going on?” I mumbled and started walking towards them along with James but got dragged to the side suddenly.“Hey!” I shouted and paused when I realized who it is.I stared at him in shock while he is staring back with a blank expression, but I can see him radiating his anger for sure.“Who are you? Let her go right now.” James or

*Ali Pov*I know hearing my words everyone will think the same thing. However, I just don’t want two people to think in that way.I stepped towards her, but saw Harsha running away towards the kids. I was about to move towards him, but Jhanvi stopped me and walked in his direction.“Nicole!” I said, walking near her, but she is staring at Harsha and nowhere else.“What is going on? Why is everyone serious?” we all heard a new voice and turned to see an elderly couple walking towards us.“You guys returned two days early. Was the trip not good?” Mridula asked, walking towards them.“We were just missing home.” The man replied and glanced at me.“You must have taken after your Mother. I can’t see much of your Father in you.” He said looking directly at me.“Excuse me?” I asked him, frowning and everyone looked confused.“You know his Father?” someone asked and he nodded.“You remember I was talking about my old classmate who is the king of a small island. It is his Father, I was talking

*Nicole Pov*“He seems to be really excited about this trip.” Ali whispered after sometime while I was still reeling to the fact that they both forced me to be in this plane.“It’s a given reaction. He must be missing his Mother. It’s been a few months since he visited her, right?” I asked not glancing at him, but stared at Harsha who is sitting before us while looking outside.“And I still think I shouldn’t be a part of this trip.” I added and he completely ignored me.“I want you to meet my Mom.” Harsha simply said and I frowned at him.Why does he want me to meet his Mom? Will it not be too awkward for everyone if I joined these two? If it is just his Mom, maybe it would be fine, but the plan Ali and I made was longer than that.“You know everything and you are still fine with it?” I asked in a whisper so that Harsha will not hear.“Actually, everytime we go for a visit I feel kind of a third wheel. And this time I have to explain something which would make them angry at me as my F

*Ali Pov*“Wait!” Nicole shouted and moved to stand before the door while my hands are shaking with rage.“Move away, Nicole!” I ordered her trying to breath but she didn’t move an inch.“Don’t do this, Ali.” She pleaded with her eyes, but stood there stubbornly no matter how much I am pleading with my own eyes for her to move.Today I am going to kill him and end his twisted ways. I carried the scars for all his plans, but I will not let him play like this with my son.How dare he trap Harsha in that way and torture him for so many days? He is still hurting because of my Father and I can’t calm down.“He deserves to get hit by me, Nicole.” I said not understanding why is she protecting him.“I know! But I don’t want you to waste your energy twice.” She said when I reached the door.“What do you mean?” I asked finally holding the knob by pushing her a little.“Didn’t you hear what I said?” she asked back and held my hand before I can turn it.“What?” I tried to turn it without hurting

*Nicole Pov*“No!” I simply replied when he asked me again.“What do you mean no?” he asked frowning.“No means no, Ali.” I replied, closing my laptop while he continued to pace before me.“He is mailing you.” He pointed out.“Yes! And I am mailing him back. But I can’t come between you two, Ali. He is your son and you need to ask him all this stuff.” I explained.“I know he is my son, but he is not talking to me properly like he is talking to you. I need to know what went wrong to make it right. I was feeling dejected all these months thinking I will never be close to my son, but now I know there is a way and I can’t wait anymore.” He sat on the bed and covered his face like he lost everything.I walked towards him not knowing how to explain the situation, but then I know I have to try and make him understand.“I am an outside person, no matter how well he is talking to me. With a snap of fingers he can stop talking to me and no one will say anything about it. But if you try to under

*Nicole Pov*“What are you doing?” I asked him, but he just continued to throw my clothes around the room.“What are you doing?” he asked back finally clearing my packed bags.“I can’t stay here, Ali. I was really hesitant and now he doesn’t like you to date. You saw what happened at the airport.” I explained, picking up my clothes.“I saw that, but you need not leave. Maybe he just needs some time.” He pointed out and I ignored him.I don’t know how did I felt at the airport, but I know making Harsha accept me will be very difficult. How can I force him to accept me?“Harsha is my son, Nicole. But it doesn’t mean I will be with the only person he will accept. He can take his time, but I want you with me.” He continued and pulled me towards him holding my elbow.“What you are saying is correct, Ali. But with the experience I had, I can’t take such step.” I mumbled looking away.“You are not your step-father. I know you will care for Harsha.” He pointed out and this time I don’t have a

*Nicole Pov*“He must be scared.” I scoffed at her words and continued to work without saying another word.“Fine! How dare he say those words and leave you? He doesn’t have any common sense. Happy now?” she added the last words laughing.“I don’t have any common sense. That’s why I called you.” I replied, moving my hand to cut her call.“Wait! I am really confused about your problem. Are you mad at him for those words or because he rushed away not giving you any time to react?” Nev asked leaving all the teasing from her tone.“I don’t know!” I mumbled and stopped working.“Well, ask him when he returns. Don’t stress yourself like this. But just decide whether you want those words to be true or just be simply some silly words.” After suggesting that she hung up and I just sighed.“I will definitely take his opinion in this matter, but for me if it is not you then it will be no one.” I can still remember each and every word he uttered that day and just left before I can understand the

*Ali Pov*“What do you mean that project is canceled?” I asked my secretary frowning.We just returned yesterday and I started planning my trip to Harsha’s school, but my Father took another step to cause problems.“His highness was adamant about this and because this is of simple matter none of the council allowed any time to deal about that.” He explained and I know right then that he did this to want something from me.“It is of simple matter at present, but later it will be a huge problem. I can’t let him stop the plan for this water plant.” I mumbled to myself and stood up to go and deal with him.While walking towards his office, I started thinking how to make sure he doesn’t put any objection to this plan and just let it happen.“Father! I need you to not stop this water plant construction.” I stated the moment I was allowed in his office room.“Tell me why should I?” that’s all he asked and for the next two hours I explained the details of the plant with the help of the notes

*Nicole Pov*“What are you doing here?” I asked, reaching him and he finally stopped his conversation with Nev’s Grandfather before glancing at me.“Don’t say it! You both are talking about history again.” I mumbled and he just smiled at me while Grandfather laughed.“He has good knowledge about our history. You made a good choice.” Saying that he walked off while I snorted hearing his words.“You are my good choice because I was wishing to learn history?” I asked sarcastically and he just pulled me into his arms.“Don’t be jealous, Nicole. We will be leaving today night and I just wanted to let him know how much I admire that he taught me about the things which I can never learn reading any book.” He explained pressing his lips to my cheek.“And I think you don’t have any right to be jealous after all the time we are spending at night in secret.” He whispered the words making me jab his ribs.“If anyone knows about that then Yash and Nev will be in trouble.” I pointed out as a warnin
