Ridhima was afraid to travel with partha not because she's scared of her, the old ridhima would have scared to death just to the thought of dealing with his family alone but this ridhima don't care about them. She kinda hates them for mistreating her husband. They enjoy his gifts, money now they knows his fame and she's cent percent sure they're using his name to show off but do they really Care about him. Nah they don't. She had seen him sending birthday, anniversary gifts to his siblings. He remembers every single thing about him but they married him to her without his concern. She knows him its not just hard its impossible to make him do something he doesn't want she's glad she got him. He values her, let her do what she desires more than everything he loves her. Ridhima smiled and looked at the empty seat beside her, Arjun booked three tickets for them. No one is sitting beside ridhima, and she's thankful for that. Even though she's still scared to travel in flight she's sure she don't want others to witness her vulnerable side not even partha. She took a deep breath when they announced the flight will take off in a few minutes. Suddenly her mobile blinked indicating a message received from her husband.
" Mahiya.. don't worry! I'm with you, sitting beside you. Just close your eyes and sleep my dear. "
She had tears reading his message. He comfort her even when he's not around. She closes her eyes thinking about their first flight travel, a smile appears her face and her fears vanished.

Arjun sat down on bed after sending message to ridhima. He already missing her. The bed still has the faint smell of sandle wood and rose. His wife definitely love the fragrance of rose. He looks down the crop top he tore, he chuckled how wild she behaved today. He wants to claim her, he wants her exclusively his. Body and soul. He's going to plan something special for her once she returns he can't wait anymore to make her his.

Ridhima's heart started beating hard once the flight landed in her home town. To be honest she didn't like coming back to here. This place brings bad memories. She brushed off the uneasy feeling and walked with partha to the cab. She frowned when the driver taking the familiar route. That's when she know they are going to partha's house not Arjun's penthouse. Partha messaged someone while smirking at ridhima who is not aware of the danger waiting for her.
Payal sitting in the living room with her husband raquesh and brothers dev and shravan.
"Payal please drink the juice. " Raquesh begged his pregnant wife.
" Take it away from me. I told you I want apple juice and you made this? How can you do this to your pregnant wife raq" dev and shravan rolled their eyes and continue scrolling their phone as its a daily drama in their house. Since payal got pregnant she's making everyone run for her. Raquesh huffed before walking away. He's tired of payal's tantrums now. First he thought these are her pregnancy hormones but he got to the change in her behavior is not because of pregnancy but because of Arjun. From the time They got to know Arjun is a billionaire she's behaving different with him, she started taunting Him for his salary. Earlier she used to be proud of him now she regrets marrying Him saying her brother should have married her to a business man. He close his eyes not wanting to cry again for her. No matter how much he tries hard to show his love for her, these days her eyes only on money. He's now regretting for mistreating his sister ridhima, how much it would have hurt her knowing her own family hates her , taunt her on daily basis. Still his sister never uttered anything bad about them. He just hope Arjun treats her nice because she deserves nothing less than that.
" Ridhima! " Payal gasps , her eyes widened seeing ridhima dressed in black kurta and leggings. Its not her attire made her surprise but her look, her curly hair, a little make up on her face, fancy bag in her hand not to mention the iPhone in her left hand.
Partha rolled her eyes at her daughter's expressions, she was no less than her when she met ridhima at Mumbai.
Ridhima frowns but quickly her expressions changed looking at the baby bump of her bhabhi. She's happy for her brother and sister in law.
" Hi bhabhi, hi maa" dev and shravan said in unison. Ridhima nodded at them before walking to payal.
" How are you bhabhi. Hope you are fine. " Ridhima frowns when payal started caressing her dress.
' oh my it looks costly. God, you wasted my brother's hard earned money for your dress huh! "
" That's my husband's money and I believe I have every Rights on it. " Payal almost had a heart attack hearing ridhima's reply. This was the first time she had seen ridhima talk back to her. She quickly brush off her shocked expression.
" Don't talk back to me. I'm your bhabhi. And don't forget my brother married you only for me"
" Firstly I'm your bhabhi as well next you really think anyone can force my husband. I don't want to pick the fight now, I'll go to Arjun's room now Then I'll shift to our penthouse. " She walked away without hearing anyone's reply. Ridhima saw her brother smile at her when she climb on the stairs and this was the first time she had seen something for her in his eyes.
She frowns when she stepped into the smallest room in the house. Exactly how hard his life was, looks like there is no difference between Them , both of their families hated them. With a sigh she slept on the small bed after sending text to her husband.
