Mr. Billionaire's Wife

chapter26

When Veer received word that there was a suspicious, yet overpriced car in his private garage at the Oberoi Enterprises, he was surprised. He didn't expect Kavya's connection to be so tight to the point of where she could buy him a highly sought after car within the span of one hour.

Stepping out of the private elevator, he laughed to himself. It seemed he had truly underestimated his opponent.

He stared at the sleek and beautiful midnight black car that seemed to shine underneath the light. With a 16-cylinder engine, 1,500 horsepower and six exhaust pipes, this was the car of every man's dream.

The price of this car worth four times the necklace that he had gifted her. Stepping forward, he ran a hand over the polished metal.

It seemed she had accepted his declaration for war. To be exact, a gift war. He wondered how far she was willing to go in this little game of theirs...

After receiving the car, Veer gifted Kavya a set of matching earrings to go with her sapphire diamond necklace. The earrings didn't come in pairs, so he had spend additional to get the other part of the earring.

When Kavya received the gift, she sent back an entire box of cuff links. Each cuff link was made from the finest quality of materials ranging from meteor rocks to blue diamonds worth a couple millions per carat.

And when Veer received her gift, he chuckled and brought her two hundred roses and whopping top floor apartment condo that was in an extremely reputable neighborhood that was located very close to his home.

Kavya was pissed at the messy gift which invaded half of her enormous living room. It took at least 5 cleaners to get rid of all of the roses. Not wanting to waste the beautiful flower that came in a bundle of red, white, yellow, pink and blue, she gifted it to her team of cleaners.

She was glad her bank account was loaded with money she made from her investment company and the money she saved up from working as Armaan's double. When she sighed his contracts worth millions and sometimes even billions, she had pocketed 20% of profits without his knowledge.

Mahendra Rana had advised her to do so. A part of him already expected the outcome of a forced marriage, but he didn't expect his granddaughter to suffer the hardest ends of it....

Brushing the thought of money aside, Kavya picked up her phone to buy him a yacht that would rival his gifts.

She made a mental note to begin returning all of his gifts or even reselling it to make more money.

She didn't like the idea of accepting his expensive gifts and knew he would probably only accept one return.

Kavya knew she could reuse the money for something better than this petty gift-war.

Just when Kavya had sent the gift off to him, she received another text. Her heart dropped to her stomach when she saw text was from Akhila Gupta Ahuja. It was about the time and location of the banquet.

When she saw the names in the group chat, Kavya nearly rolled her eyes. Akhila really had the nerves to add Dadu's number into the group! Just how thick was her skin to dk something as shameless as that?

The entire Ahuja's and Gupta's family knew Mahendra Rana did not care for Kashti. Out of all his Grandchildren, she was the one who cried and screamed the loudest when she saw Mahendra Rana's scary face.

Growing up pampered overly loved and shelters, it was Kashti's first time seeing a man with a disapproving expression.

Not only that. but Mahendra Rana was in a particularly bad day and her screams dampened his mood. Ever since them, Kashti was blacklisted as his granddaughter. He refused to put her in his will, and Akhila was beyond infuriated when she heard of the news

But as much as Akhila detested the truth, she knew she couldn't go against his orders.

"She must've think her plan was flawless..." Kavya muttered out loud. She knew by sending the text in a group, Mahendra Rana would blatantly know Kavya was attending the banquet. This would increase the chances of Mahendra Rana going as well.

Within a seconds of text, Mahendra Rana called Kavya.

"Dadu", she answered on the first ring.

"The banquet is tomorrow night Princess. I hope you have a dress and a date in mind", Kavya spoke, forgetting all formalities and going straight to the point.

Kavya's eyes grew wide. The banquet was tomorrow night? She could've sworn it was a next week! Did she move up the date?

Grinding her teeth, she checked her phone and just as Kavya had expected, the date was moved a week ahead.

She didn't have time to contact a designer or double check with Aisha that her brother actually show up. She could've sworn a Vatsal Oberoi was out of the country on an important mission.

Kavya knew she was completely screwed. But she didn't want her Dadu to worry, so she said, "I'm pretty much all set and ready Dadu". She said nervously, tucking a few strands of hair behind her ear. She paced around her heavily rose-scented living room.

"Are you sure Princess ?" Mahendra Rana had heard uneasiness in her voice.

"Yes, Dadu Am very much sure. Don't worry too much about the banquet. It's not good for your high BP". She quickly answered him. He may be stern and strict, but he was getting older. She came back into the city, from her long 2years departure, because she had heard he collapsed due to High BP.

Kavya thought about what Aisha had told her. "As a matter of fact, I already have partner. He's someone from the Oberoi Family.

"Which member Princess?" Mahendra Rana questioned, feeling doubtfull of her words. If it was younger one, he would need to get in touch with him. The younger brother may be outgoing, but Mahendra Rana knew of his flirtatious and womanizing ways. A man like that better keeps his hands off of his Princess.

"The younger one". Kavya bit her bottom lips, unsure of his reaction. She was scared he might be angry at her for choosing someone with a coy reputation, but he surprised her by remaining as calm as collected as usual.

"Is that so Princess". Mahendra Rana out a text to Lakshya. He was preparing an attention security team in case something happened.

Vatsal Oberoi was far too unpredictable. Moreover, he was also worried about Kavya's safety at the banquet. There would be many socialites gathered there and many of them would be Armaan Kashyap's followers.

"If he doesn't show up, I want you to call me as soon as possible princess".Mahendra Rana's voice remained warm and inviting, but there was a slight edge to it.

Even if the Oberoi Family was the most powerful in the country, he would not bat an eye on taking a direct hit at Vatsal Oberoi. If they dared to damage his precious princess reputation, blood would spill.
