Mr. Billionaire's Wife

chapter17

After being humiliated and brought to her lowest, Kavya left the city. Even when the powers of the country's top hackers and investigators were combined, they still couldn't find her.

Many people came together in hopes of finding her location. The reward for her head was alarmingly high, fifty million to be exact. Armaan Kashyap was the one to fund the first half of the fifty million, and the rest was anonymous, but most people suspected it was the angry socialites who was eager to see their dethroned Queen fall to a lower level.

After two long years, there wasn't a price on her head anymore. Armaan's anger had soothted and after a lot of convincing from the Kashyap family and elder, he finally retracted his money. Seeing the King had pulled out the rest of the socialites stopped funding for Kavya's head. Within a span of a week, she wasn't a wanted woman in the Underground World anymore.

"This time, I have a very important task. Trust me, it's not some petty face-slapping of a white lotus. "Kavya chided herself at the memory of her foolish past.

She used to be so bitter and horrible to Malika Dev, not that she didn't deserve it.

In some way, Kavya regretted raining hell on Malika Dev, when she should've directed her anger towards Armaan as well.... It took two to cheat, and she mistakenly focused too much time on one side.

"I was such a spoiled and bad tempered brat. Throughout the year I thirsted for Malika's blood and downfall, I'm surprised you would stood by my side". Kavya thought about the bad memories she never wanted to resurface.

She had sunk to the sea of desperation when she saw Malika wrapped in Armaan's arms. She tried to do anything and everything to destroy the couple and along the way, she destroyed herself.

"Like I always say, you're signature perfume ia unbelievable wealth. Anyone with that scent will always have a safe spot in my heart". Abhinash cracked a dry smile at her words. Was she really doubting why he stayed with her? This foolish woman....

If there one thing that Abhinash would never admit, it was the fact that he actually cared more about Kavya's well being than her money. She was someone very special to him and once upon a time, she was his big savior.

"But there was so many people that paid you to abandon me". Kavya softly said suddenly feeling very self-conscious of herself.

Abhinash was quiet for a while and Kavya thought he didn't hear her because he was so occupied by the loud game.

Aftee a few moments of silence, he spoke. "No money can pay me to abandon you. Not after what you've done for me". His voice was sombre and soft, nothing like the loud and outgoing person he was.

Kavya had a soft expression on her face, as she thought about the hard times that Abhinash experienced.

There was a period of time where Abhinash's wrists were filled with cuts, his eye dull, the hope long gone from his heart and his entire body was filled with horrific marks, it was hard to recognize the man he had become.

"Aw geez, you're going to make me cry if you don't speak up". Abhinash sighed, his voice getting a bit emotional. This was why he disliked talking about the past.

Kavya let out smalk laugh. "Seeing you cry would be worth billions". She joked, a tiny smile on her face.

Abhinash sat up straighter, his eyes going wide with excitement. "Wait seriously? You'd pay me billions to cry? I'd cry as much as you want if you pay me that much-"

"No you idiot. I was only kidding". Kavya chuckled at his desire for instant wealth.

"Boo, you're no fun". Abhinash pouted. He had truly taken Kavya seriously...

"Besides what is your new mission this time?" He added on, turning off the game and then flipping to the second monitor of his computer.

Kavya became more serious. "I need a full report of a white small van that ran into a black Maybach Mercedes on Juhu Street. Investigate into the van's background, owner, license plate. Every little thing you can find out, report it back to me".

Abhinash raised his brow at her surprising assignment". How much are you willing to pay?

Kavya smiled. He didn't even hesitate at the harsh mission. "State your price, I can pay anything reasonable". She leaned back in her chair and stared out of the enormous window in front of her.

Money wasn't an issue for her, but she knew Abhinash was not a greedy man to demand an outrageous price.

"One million". He bluntly said. This surprise Kavya. One million? His rate has increased by 500% since the last two years since she had contact him.

"The price is fine with me, but are you alright Abhi? Is there something I need to know about?" She asked, pulling out her laptop to wire him the money.

Abhinash was quiet for a few seconds. Admist the shooting clicks of his finger against the keyboard and his sombre expression, he didn't know where to begin. "I-I... " He stuttered, unable to say a word.

Kavya's expression softened. "Don't push yourself, I'm fine if you don't tell me. I've already send the money to you". She quietly said, knowing it would take time for him to open up.

Abhinash felt grateful for her peacefull approach. For as long as he had known her, she was never the type of women to force him to say something. When it came to him she was patient and kind.

Because Abhinash had personally witnessed Kavya's unwavering kindness, his impression of her was always good. Regardless of the malicious rumors that surrounded Kavya and the horrible things she used to do, Abhinash would always remain loyal to her....

"Okay, I'll get started on your mission right now. It will be done by tomorrow afternoon". He said, already hacking into the security cameras on the street lights.

"Alright, have a good night". Kavya said, breathing out a quiet sigh.

"Good night, princess". He ended the call and began to immerse himself into the task.

After the call ended, Kavya texted Aisha the details, but she didn't include the big price tag on the mission.

Honeybae: Thank you so much, bae! I'll treat you to our next meal!

Kavya smiled at her friend energetic response.

Alright, I'll hold you accountable to that ~ she texted back.

Aisha didn't reply for a while and Kavya figured it was because she was so drained from an entire day of working.

Not wanting to do anything else, Kavya collapsed onto her bed and fell asleep. Peacefully sleeping, Kavya was not aware of the storm that would hit her tomorrow....
