I know I'm late and I'm really sorry, I really tried but I couldn't publish the chapters. I posted about the delay on my message board but as not all of you follow me then you won't know. But there's no need now, I'm back and I promise to update like I did before.
This chapter might be a bit boring but it's necessary.
Bye bye. Happy reading ❤

Author's POV

Sinha House

Smack, " Were the problems we were already facing less for you? That you made a mess of your own. " Ashutosh shouted at his son who just stood while clenching his fists.

Vartika wanted to defend her son but she had seen how much of an uproar this was causing online, and that pulled their company back into muddy waters. She knew if she interrupted then it'll be her enduring her husband's wrath, so she remained quiet.

Dimple had gone to her parents'home after the scene in public, her parents were the only major investors who were still with them and this scene caused ashutosh to worry that what if they pull out their investments too.
Just thinking about it made his blood boil with anger.

" I don't know how you do it but go and bring her back. If you can't then you don't have to come back. " His words shocked everyone, no one thought it would turn so serious, Vartika knew it was getting out of hand so tried to intervene, " Ashutosh. "

" Don't meddle in this Vartika, it's bigger than just your son. " She couldn't argue against that, she wasn't unaware of the crises falling on their company. She knew what the result would be if Dimple was not placated.

" Go now. What are you waiting for? " Ashutosh said again seeing archit not moving an inch. Archit just stood there looking down before he finally looked up to his father.
" I won't go dad. If it's revealed then it's good too. I love Priya and moreover you know how dimple is, it's tiring to be with her. "

His words angered ashutosh even more and even Vartika couldn't defend him now.
" Shut up. You hear me. Shut up. Forget about that girl you met on the streets. You are married, no matter what we raised you to be, it never included a cheater. Our family's men don't betray their wives. I'm already enough ashamed, don't make me more disgusted by you. Go and bring her back. "

The words were harsh but archit remained in his place, " You don't want to leave right? Dhairya throw him out. He's not allowed in this house until he brings his wife back. " Ashutosh had enough of his son's foolishness.

" Dad. " Archit shouted but ashutosh just stared at his brother.
" Ji bhai saab. " Dhairya was ashamed of his nephew's deeds too and as his brother had already given the order, he pulled archit along with him and pushed him out of the house. Archit didn't resist, he just allowed his uncle to do that.

Dhairya's phone rang just as he came back, " Hello. What?. We'll be there soon. "
Ashutosh knew that whatever it was, it was definitely bad news. " What happened? "

" Sahni's are withdrawing their investment. They've already sent their representative to our office. " Sahni's are Dimple's family, and this was exactly what ashutosh was worried about.
" No. " He shook his head as he said but dhairya just nodded.
" Let's go. " Vartika was frozen in place, the consequences of her son's actions finally dawning upon her. She knew that there was no salvaging the situation unless Dimple was placated and her son was too stubborn to bow before his wife.
