All Chapters of Lies And Betrayal: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

As soon as Preshant drove out, Ritu ordered the maids out. It was going to be a rainy night, and she needed all the touch his hands could give, but as she prepared to shower, the intercom beeped, and she was informed there was a visitor. Stepping into the parlor, Sakshi arched her brow at the lady seated in a white saree. She looked wealthy and had a bright smile. "Good evening Mrs. Preshant. I'm sorry for coming over so late." The woman stood as she greeted. "It's alright, please have a seat. I was told you're Mrs. Aarti from Sakshi's firm?" "Oh yes." The woman replied, and just at that moment, Kapil moved in from the room, he had pajamas on and looked dashing, wondering what was taking Ritu so long, but he stopped as soon as he saw the visitor." "This lady's from Sakshi's firm," Ritu said as Aarti greeted Kapil politely, and she also introduced him as Sakshi's husband. "We had a message from Sakshi that she was sick and would be away for a week. I just stopped by to check on he

Pleasing Preshant was never a big deal. She just had to hop on top and ride, he came quickly, and that was because she was good at what she did, not what someone else may think. Although maybe that contributed, it didn't matter. So long as he gave her what she wanted, she would stick around and give him what he wanted, the relationship was mutual, and everyone was fine. She came off him and rolled to her side of the bed as he came through, clearly satisfied with the journey they had been through.He turned to give her a knowing smile. "You are naughty." He saidHer laugh was loud but not from her heart. "I will be cooking your favorite today." She said and watched as his face lit even more."You've always been the best." He said, and she laughed some more. He coughed lightly and grabbed his glasses by the bed stand. "When did you say you are making the journey for your shopping?She blinked as she sat up. "Yes, that's right. I'll be meeting with some designers to go through what they

Driving uptown to work, Sakshi grinned sheepishly. With Kapil and Ritu out of town, she didn’t need to check her back while she had fun; she had packed a few bags and planned to move to Sunil’s place after work. She would stay there for a few days. She knew her dad was barely around, so he wouldn’t notice.She bobbed her head to Mile Ho Tum by Neha Kakkar as she turned the bend to the street just by her workplace. It was a busy day, and there was a lot of work to be done, but all she could think about was Sunil shoving himself inside her. Ritu was about to begin her business full-time, and Sakshi couldn’t wait for her to be entirely out of the house so there would be no one to care about her whereabouts and what she did and didn't do.The future looked bright, and she hoped it would keep up that way. She swerved into the parking lot and waved happily to the gateman, who slightly frowned as he gestured to her to reduce the volume of her music. She rolled her eyes and yelled an insincere

The plan was to scare and threaten, but the moment Sunil pulled out a gun, Ritu knew she had messed everything up. It waved at her and then at Kapil, and she wouldn’t lose him. She was not going to lose her source of peace and joy just as soon as he came, and while Kapil tried to use the negotiation approach and convince Sunil, they just came to warn, and Ritu was not taking chances. Despite Kapil’s advice to stay still, she charged at him fiercely, and what followed was something no one could explain, but when the trigger went off, there was one person on the floor coated with blood. The remaining two stood in disbelief, mouths agape, and they didn’t need a medical examiner to confirm there was no life in the body on the floor. That body belonged to Sunil.Speechlessness turned to fret and then finally screams of terror, and Kapil put his hand over her mouth to shut her up. “For God’s sake, Ritu, be quiet.” He held her tight until she went silent and nodded to everything he said. It

Ritu's world shattered the day she was sentenced to five years. Her life's once-bright future was now overcast with regret and hopelessness. Yet, as she stepped into the confines of the prison, little did she know that this journey would lead her to redemption and a new beginning.Within the austere confines of the prison, Sunita, the warden, stood as a beacon of hope. Her unwavering belief in reform, rather than mere punishment, set her apart. As she pored over Ritu's file, her eyes saw beyond the criminal record. She perceived a glimmer of potential, a spark that could be nurtured and ignited. Ritu's crime was severe, but Sunita recognised the circumstances that had led her astray and the genuine remorse she harboured. This recognition prompted Sunita's resolve to offer Ritu a chance at rehabilitation.It was an opportunity to step outside the prison walls, albeit under strict supervision, and reclaim her sense of purpose. Despite her apprehension, Ritu accepted the offer with a glim
