"I trust him," Ansh said about Davis, and Rudra's heart skipped a beat at his words."Don't you want to spend the day with me?" Ansh asked softly. Rudra nodded, agreeing to stay with his son.As Rudra looked at Ansh, he noticed the resemblance to Mompi—his pointed nose, thin lips, and the small mole on his neck were exactly like hers. Rudra's heart thudded wildly as he found it difficult to breathe."But that man was with Pari", Rudra said to Ansh and Ansh again cutting off his sentence."Don't worry. She is safe with him and you should try to concentrate on my birthday", ANSH said in his baby commanding voice and pouted as he looked away from Rudra. Rudra smiled at him and carried him in his arms."I'm a big boy so don't carry like a baby", Ansh said and Rudra laughed at his pouting lips."You're like me", Rudra smiled at him but soon Ansh's smile wiped out from his face as his lips pressed in a thin line."Daddy! I'm with you because of my Maa. She wants me to spend my ninth birthda
**On the same night as Ansh's 9th birthday, Outside Of The Hospital**[A/N:- You can read this full part in Arjun's and Davis' book. The incident is Related to Pashika]After sending it off to Ansh, Rudra went to the hospital but collided with Davis.Both men were blazing with anger, and their eyes locked as they tried to read each other’s intentions.Rudra knew Davis was crucial to Ansh’s future, and Davis was insecure, fearing Rudra might snatch Ansh away from him."SHE IS MINE. Stay away," Rudra said in his typical officer tone, trying to provoke the monster within Davis and mentally bracing himself for a punch. However, Davis responded with a shocking revelation that made Rudra reconsider his plans for the future.Rudra knew that Porishma and Davis loved each other madly and deeply, but both were cracked, and their mountainous egos were standing in the way.Davis laughed darkly and said, "Keep trying. She will always be MINE."Finally, Davis growled at Rudra and left for the airpor
Everything was not good in their lives. Arjun was kidnapped, and Pashika was in a mess.Davis took Porishma and Ansh with him to NY.Neil was protecting Aashmaan in Shimla.Shakti was coping with her life with the help and support of her family back in Rajasthan.**At The K&K. Corporation, In ARJUN's Office**"Rudra," Pashika extended her hand for a shake. Rudra was tense about the whole situation.He cursed Arjun a thousand times because of his actions. Arjun didn't think about anyone and put himself in danger. Arjun made a plan to trap Vikranth and Fiona, but the main problem was Avni, who was also nowhere to be seen. Vikranth helped Avni escape from his heavily secured cell."Hello, Black Shadow," Rudra shook hands with Pashika."Don't call me that, okay?" Pashika snapped at him, but Rudra smiled at her.Rudra knew how frustrated she was about Arjun, who had been missing for three days."Okay! Look, Mrs. Kashyap," Rudra said, and Pashika narrowed her eyes at him."Mrs. Kashyap? Don'
**A Week Later:**After eliminating the evil influence of Vikranth and cleaning up his dirty business, Neil took Aashmaan to the hospital for a checkup one day because she was pregnant with twins.Neil called Rudra from the hospital to share the good news. Rudra was shocked at first, but then a wave of happiness bloomed in his heart for his brother and Kiddo (Aashmaan).On their way back from the hospital, a truck suddenly crashed into their car, forcing it to collide with a tree. Aashmaan felt a jolt through her body and instinctively clutched her belly tightly."Aashmaan! Run away from here, okay? I'll handle them," Neil said, but Aashmaan shook her head."I'm not going anywhere," Aashmaan replied firmly.Neil quickly dialed Arjun's number, who added Rudra to the conference call. They acted quickly, mobilizing their teams."Rudra! Neil and Aashmaan are in danger," Arjun said, and Rudra immediately left his office with his team, tracking their location.Within ten minutes, Rudra and A
**Two Days Later in Rajasthan:**Rudra was tired and wanted to sleep peacefully. After dealing with all the evils, he sought out his peace. He opened the door, stripped off his clothes, and laid beside her.She was a light sleeper and got scared when she found him in her bedroom, on her bed."What are you doing here in my bedroom in the middle of the night, Mr. RUDRA SINGH RATHORE?" Shakti asked, glaring at him.But Rudra simply laid on top of her, pinning her down with his wide, strong frame."Move away from my body, Rudra. I can't breathe, and this isn't appropriate," Shakti said, but Rudra clutched her hands tightly and fell asleep on top of her.Hearing her loud voice, Shakti's father entered the room and found them together. He stood blankly at the doorstep. Shakti saw her father and gasped loudly."Papa?" Shakti said, and her father closed his eyes with his hands, chanting, "I didn't see anything," as he left the room.Shakti pushed Rudra's shoulder, but he murmured, "I'm sleepy.
[A/N: This is a flashback to when Rudra went to Rajasthan and slept in Shakti's bed at her father's house.]Shakti was asleep after staring at him the entire night. Rudra gently pushed aside the strands of hair that were disturbing her sleep.Rudra looked at her briefly and sighed deeply. He put on his shirt and quietly left her room, only to find her father waiting for him.Rudra closed his eyes and groaned inwardly as her father motioned for him to sit down and offered him tea, but Rudra declined.They sat in silence, staring at each other, unsure of how to begin the conversation.Her father cleared his throat and looked at him, while Rudra was focused on the cup of tea as if it were the eighth wonder of the world."Rudra Ji," Shakti's father called his name with respect and affection."Yes," Rudra replied, feeling a bit nervous, and her father was aware of it too."I'm ill, Rudra Ji. My health is deteriorating. My son is already married, and in a few months, he will welcome his firs
### The Last Chapter Continued with Flashback###**A Month Later, At K & K Corporation, In Arjun's Cabin:**"How are you, buddy?" Arjun asked Rudra."Arjun! I'm fine," Rudra replied. They shook hands and took their seats."Hmmm! Say what you want to talk about," Arjun said, raising his brows. Rudra sighed loudly."I'm getting married," Rudra informed him.Arjun was shocked because he knew Rudra was not in love with anyone right now. How could it suddenly be possible for him to get married?Arjun thought hard while Rudra stared at him keenly."Arranged marriage?" Arjun asked. He knew about Shakti but not the whole situation. Rudra laughed and shook his head negatively."And what about his love for her—Mompi? Has he forgotten about her?" Arjun's thoughts were racing.Rudra observed his facial expressions. Arjun composed himself and congratulated Rudra."Congratulations, brother," Arjun said."Thanks, man," Rudra replied, but his lopsided smile made Arjun confused."Who is she?" Arjun ask
[Last chapter and flashback Continued]"Do you want to say something?" Rudra turned around and asked Shakti, who shook her head and said in a soft, sobbing tone, "You've lost your mind. You're behaving like a lunatic."Rudra laughed maniacally, and Shakti stared at his wilder side."Rudra, stop this. You and I both know that we're not perfect for each other. Just because of our parents, we can't destroy each other's lives," Shakti said, wiping her face."Tomorrow is our wedding, and you'll marry me. Otherwise, be ready for your destruction, which will start with your brother and end with you," Rudra said through gritted teeth, and she looked at him and his dark side."Is it only because of Papa or because of this ring, Rudra?" Shakti asked, showing her hand to him.Rudra glanced at the shining ring and looked away from her."Listen, DurgaShakti! I'm not interested in getting married, but my brothers are married, and my family will not stop pressuring me until I get married. Your father
