[last chapter continued]"I'm here to finish my pending work," Porishma replied, searching for something to eat. Rudra observed her every move."And what work is that?" Rudra asked irritably, settling himself comfortably on the dusty couch.Porishma huffed in annoyance, still remembering how Rudra had spoken to her before.Rudra looked around the apartment and found everything placed back in its original place, just like before. He sighed and smiled, appreciating Shakti's hard work.That night, Rudra fell asleep on her lap, and after that, Shakti arranged the entire apartment as it had been earlier."Oh! Arjun needed a secretary, so I came here to join the panel," Porishma said, taking out a packet from her bag.Rudra's trance broke, and he looked at her as she munched on the chocolate popcorn."By the way, where are your husband and Ansh?" Rudra asked, looking around but not finding anyone."Oh my Goddess! I forgot to tell Ishu, and I didn't inform Arjun or Neil either," Porishma excl
In the town market, Shakti sat down on the stool, and her hands and legs were visible to the henna artist.Rudra was in his police uniform, and his dominant aura was making the henna artist very uncomfortable.Rudra was glaring at the henna artist, and the artist's whole body was shaking under Rudra's blazing eyes."Kore," Rudra called her, but Shakti didn't look at him.Rudra cleared his throat and looked at her again, but Shakti was angry and not in the mood to talk to him.The market was crowded with women, and all the seats beside her were almost full. Rudra was observing the surroundings, and the henna artist was applying mehendi on her hands and feet.Rudra was restless and impatient, too. He cleared his throat, but this time, Shakti stopped him with her taunts."Take a Vicks tablet and clear your sore throat," Shakti mocked Rudra, who was continuously clearing his throat again and again for her attention, but she didn’t look at him."Why this henna and all?" Rudra asked her, bu
The next morning, Rudra woke up and saw her decorating the temple and arranging the materials for prayer. His heart was pounding frantically because this was the first time he was experiencing something like this.The whole house was filled with soothing smells. She was fasting for him. She would not eat or drink, and it was all for him.Rudra was gazing at her, who looked very beautiful in a blue saree. Her glowing face was drawing him closer, and then he remembered she was fasting completely—no food, no water for the entire day and night.Shakti looked at him and said, "I cooked breakfast for you."Rudra shook his head and replied, "I'm fasting with you."She arched her brows at him."Are you sure?" she asked, and he nodded."I can manage myself. I'm more worried about you and your health," Rudra replied, and her heart skipped a beat."Don't worry. I'll be fine," Shakti said as she arranged the temple properly for the Teej festival."Go take a shower and don't forget about my blouse
"You are the kindest thing That ever happened to me, Even if that isn't How our tale is told. When everyone else told me I was Destined to be a forgotten nymph That nurtured flowers and turned Meadows gold, You saw that the ichor that resides in me Demanded its own throne. You showed me how a love like ours Can turn even the darkest, coldest realm Into the happiest of HOME."Persephone to Hades .. ..**Unknown Person's POV:**He has gotta have a weakness because everybody has a weakness.

"He REJECTED me," Shakti said, biting her lips to control her sobs.Piyali immediately engulfed her in a motherly embrace. Yudhishthir and Yuvaan looked at Yuvraaj, who was blazing with anger."He dared to reject you," Yuvraaj was furious at his son."Uncle, don't think too much. Everything will be fine. Your health will suffer," Yudhishthir said to Yuvraaj."Your Highness," a male attendant knocked on the door, and they stopped and looked at him."The Crown Prince isn't listening to us," the male attendant said as he stood by for the next order.Yudhishthir closed his eyes as he thought of his son Abhimanyu, the Crown Prince of Gadh."Tell him to go to his room right now; otherwise, I'll marry him off right now, today," Yudhishthir said in his kingly tone, and the servant shivered badly and went away."He is a child, Yudy. Leave him," Yuvaan said and shook his head."He is the future King, the Crown Prince of our Gadh, but his actions always give me a headache," Yudhishthir said in hi
**Flashback after the conversation between Piyali and Shakti, and before Rudra's arrival...**"Why are you smiling, Piyali?" Yuvraaj asked, confused to see her smiling while reading a patient's medical file."Our kids are nuts. That's why I'm smiling," Piyali said, closing the medical file."Huh?" Yuvraaj was puzzled and frowned deeply."Neil and Rudra are both exactly like you in nature and behavior," Piyali said. Yuvraaj raised his eyebrows questioningly, and she smiled at him."Nothing! It's just that they're very difficult to deal with," Piyali explained."So you're saying that I'm very difficult to deal with, huh?" Yuvraaj asked, amused. Piyali shook her head."It's not like that, but it's true that you're not a simple man either. Rudra is a carbon copy of you, and Neil's mind works like yours, but he inherited my looks, especially my deep hazel eyes," Piyali said as she arranged the medical files. Yuvraaj watched her closely."But I must say, Neil has Piyush's heart, which beats
[Last chapter continued]Rudra wanted her bright smile to be only for him. His head was spinning at the sight that made him want to kill Ervin."She is mine"."Only mine"."My wife"."My Kore".Hades lost his senses and growled loudly at them.They called him Hades, and right now, his darkness had awoken."Kore!", he seethed with anger. He growled loudly at her, and she was startled by his sudden appearance.Shakti turned around, and her bright mixed brown eyes, with a tint of black, looked at him.*Him.* Her husband was standing in front of her, his face red and his body shaking with anger.Shakti saw his dark side for the first time and gulped nervously."Her body is made for me. Only for me. She will only be in my arms," Rudra's mind was chanting these words repeatedly.Rudra's eyes ranked over her appearance, and his heart skipped a beat. His heart swelled with happiness when he saw her in Indian Rajasthani attire—a pink long skirt with a green blouse and a heavy blue veil covering
Rudra kissed her as if her lips were made of flowers and his lips were only made to suck hers. He was making her aware that she was his. His wife. She belonged to him.Shakti cried, but Rudra was busy sucking and biting her lips.Rudra was lost in kissing her, devouring her lips. He kissed her as if her lips were made for him. His kisses were passionate and intense. He was making her aware that she was his. His wife. She belonged to him. Shakti cried, but Rudra was busy sucking and biting her lips. He crushed her soft feminine body with his enormous frame. Her body started to ache, but Rudra was too lost to hear her sobbing.Then something happened, and Rudra stopped smashing her lips. He breathed heavily and stared into her tear-filled eyes, watching the drops roll down her cheeks. His senses returned as if a heavy stone had struck his brain. He controlled his uneven breathings as he looked at her. “I... I... I’m so... sorry,” Rudra stammered, climbing off her body and standing in

**5) Humming Hearts ❤️**"Down," Shakti said. Her eyes were closed."No! Up," she said again, groaning loudly."No, a little bit down. Yes... yes, right there," Shakti said, moaning in pain."Maa! I'll tell Papa about your stunt," five-year-old Shiv said in his baby voice, and Shakti rolled her eyes at his little threats."Shivu! You are on my team, so stop threatening me about your father," Shakti said, and Shiv continued to massage his mother's back with pain-reliever oil."Maa! I'm neither on your team nor Papa's. I don't like to hide anything from Papa and you," Shiv said in his bold baby voice.Shivshakti Singh Rathore, five years old and an exact replica of Rudra, with the same thinking, same facial features, and not to forget his deep black charcoal orbs that melted Shakti's heart.Shiv was Rudra's pride and joy.

Then why are you saying things again and again? And don't forget that your delivery date is near," Rudra said, making her sit down on the bed.He put her legs on his lap and massaged her swollen legs. Her legs were swollen, and it was difficult for her to walk or even wear any stylish footwear."Look at me. I'm not looking beautiful. I'm fat. My face is like a balloon," Shakti said, crying again. Tears dropped down her cheeks.Rudra didn't know how to handle her. She always cried whene

She was making his favorite meals, but the aroma of spices was making her nauseated."What are you doing, Kore?" Rudra asked, shaking his head negatively at her."I'm making dinner for..." Shakti stopped and ran out of the room, bolting inside the bathroom."I've told you so many times to take care of yourself, but you're being very brave, Kore. Always ignoring my warnings, huh?" Rudra said, rubbing her back as she emptied her stomach.Rudra was losing his temper whenever he found her crying, nauseated, or feeling dizzy, which made her body weak."If you don't take care of yourself, I'll definitely send you to either Mumbai or Rajasthan.

Rudra smiled warmly at her."I love you," Shakti said, inhaling deeply.Suddenly, her grip on his arms loosened, and darkness consumed her.Rudra forgot to breathe as he scooped her into his arms."Kore," Rudra yelled, supporting her body.

ANSH carried IAN in his arms and gave him to Porishma."Ansh will call both of you whatever he wants to call you. I won't stop him from doing what his heart actually desires," Davis said, and everyone gawked at him.His eyes were soft with a tint of redness. Everyone knew Ansh was Davis's weakness, and he would do anything for Ansh's happiness.Rudra nodded and walked towards DAVIS. They stared at each other, and suddenly, Rudra hugged him tightly. Davis was taken aback by his sudden gesture."Thank you, Davis." It was the first time Rudra called him Davis, not Mr. Billionaire.Davis felt something strange in his heart. It was the happiest moment for Ansh.Davis was close with Arjun, Neil, and Daniel, and he knew what kind of bond Rudra had with both Neil and Arjun."But I'm not leaving Ansh with you," Davis said and looked away from them.Rudra laughed, and Davis narrowed his eyes at him."Ansh can come here, live here, and even call you Mother and Father. I'll never stop him, but I c
