[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
**At Shakti's Father's House, Rajasthan:**"I'm not going anywhere with you," Shakti said, looking away from Rudra.After completing all the final rites for her father, Rudra wanted to take Shakti back, but she was denying him, which made him mad.Rudra talked to her brother and sister-in-law, and they agreed with him.Shakti's brother and sister-in-law also wanted to perform the bride's farewell ceremony.Rudra accepted their wishes, but Shakti didn’t want to leave her maiden house. She started crying, but Rudra was once again dominant over her."You are my wife, and you have to follow me," Rudra said, moving out of the room. He came back a few minutes later and found her sitting in the same place."Are you done sulking? Then pack quickly. I don't have time to waste on your childishness. I have to report to the station," Rudra said annoyingly, quickly throwing her clothes into her bag.Shakti saw and yelled at him."That pouch has my bangles. They'll break if you throw them like this,
"I'm tired. Stop making noise," Rudra murmured, and she looked at him.Shakti moved towards the bed and lay down at the corner. A few minutes later, a strong, muscular arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her against his hard, naked chest, leaving her stunned by the action."What are you doing, Mr. Rathore?" Shakti murmured tiredly as her soft breathing fell on his skin."I'm sleeping, Mrs. Rathore, so just close your mouth and let me sleep," Rudra stated, hiding his face in her neck.Shakti heard his soft snoring and sighed loudly."I don't know where our marriage will go," she thought, running her fingers through his thick hair and falling asleep in his arms.---**At Rudra's House, Delhi**The next day, they landed in Delhi and entered his house.Rudra's house was dusty, and Shakti sighed as her eyes roamed around every corner of the house.Rudra took a shower and got ready to report for duty. Shakti came into the room and saw him getting ready. Rudra noticed her and handed her
**At Arjun's House**"Hey, welcome!" Arjun said, hugging Rudra and nodding happily at Shakti."Hi! I'm Pashika," Pashika said, and Shakti nodded."Shakti, here," Shakti said, and they shared side hugs."Woah! You look beautiful," Shakti said, and Pashika blushed darkly."When is your delivery date?" Shakti asked, mesmerized to see Pashika in her full round shape."Anytime! I’m close to delivering them," Pashika said, and Shakti placed her hands on Pashika’s big bump as Arjun's little beasts kicked hard."Woah, it’s awesome. They actually kicked!" Shakti said loudly, catching the attention of the men.Little Shaurya hid behind Pashika and said, "Mama."Arjun picked up Little Shaurya and made him sat on his lap."Bunny, meet our new family member," Arjun said to Shaurya, whose cheeks and ears were red.Shaurya moved toward Shakti and extended his tiny hands for a shake. Shakti smiled and embraced him in a tight hug."Hello, little Bunny," Shakti said, kissing Shaurya's chubby cheeks, whi
**At the ARJUN's House:**After Rudra and Shakti left Arjun's house and went to their house, Arjun's voice booked in the Kashyap Mansion."Nivaan! Raghav!" Arjun yelled their names continuously, and they came running inside the house."Boss?" both said in unison, noticing the serious look on their boss’s face."Nivaan! Look after Jaan and Bunny," Arjun said, and Nivaan nodded."Raghav! Call the ambulance and contact Rudra's team members. Try to track this number," Arjun said, handing an unknown number to Raghav, who went out to do his work."Ji! What’s happening? Why are you shouting?" Pashika asked, coming into the hall.She was scared by Arjun's dark expression and hard eyes.Shaurya came out of his room while rubbing his eyes, and looked at his parents."Dadda? Mama?" Shaurya said.Arjun kneeled in front of him and said, "Take care of your mother and little brothers. I'm going; it's an emergency."Little Shaurya understood and nodded at his father. He stood near his mother."Ji! Wil
**Flashback Continued with Last Chapter**"Amma?" Shakti stuttered as her heart thudded frantically."I'll call you Amma. It sounds cool too," Ansh said, and Shakti shed tears."You know I used to call my mother Amma," Shakti said, and Ansh spread his tiny arms as she sobbed, and they hugged each other."I'll call you Amma. My super cool Amma," Ansh said, and they laughed and played together.They became friends, laughed at the things they shared, and eventually came to share secrets."Let's share the deepest secrets," Ansh said, and Shakti looked at him."You’re eight years old and have a secret. Hmm! It's Interesting, my cool son," Shakti said, and Ansh became serious.His eyes held so much depth that Shakti could feel his emotions. She smiled softly at him and said, "Oh, okay, let's start with me."Ansh stared at her, and Shakti saw his eyes were moist. She also became serious after observing his face.Shakti took a deep breath and looked at the sky, then at the innocent but serious
"Will you stop staring at me?" Shakti whispered and gulped nervously.She was helping Rudra change his shirt. His broad shoulders and wide muscular chest made her steal glances at him, but Rudra knew her well and was using this opportunity against her.Rudra put one hand on her waist, and she froze. Her heart was pounding frantically inside her chest, and the reason behind her nervousness was his heated gaze on her.His hot breath was fast and fanning her face. Rudra was watching her closely, his eyes glued to her sharp features. He was observing her and making her uncomfortable."Why are you uncomfortable?" Rudra asked, his voice thick and hoarse.His morning voice was making her dizzy too. Rudra knew what he was doing to her, but why? He was searching for the answer in his own way.He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and her breath got stuck in her throat."I thought you loved me?" Rudra asked, messing with her mind, though he was in a mess himself.He was trying to find a sol
