जाने क्यूं महसूस हो रहा है
कि मुझे महसूस कर रही हो तुम...

Author's POV

Both found solace in their embrace, after calming down she detached herself from him but was still in his arms, just the way he liked it, she had a small smile dancing on her lips, the same as his, and both broke out of their trance when they heard the laughing and bickering.

They saw men walking out of the McDonald's happy and content, it surprised Aviraaj how in a matter of few hours Aarayna was able to control these beasts who were trained to kill, they could either kill for him or get killed. In the end, they saw the mother-daughter duo with smiles walking out, tasting their freedom. Aviraaj remembered something so they asked her,

"How do you know who is Mahira's father? "

Aarayna was surprised as to how he knew the whole story but remembered he was the King after all, so told him,

"There's this friend of mine, he works for me, all of Mahi's antics matched him, and even the facial structure, especially those green eyes, I did a wild guess, and boom this was it "

Airaaj nodded and asked her in a playful voice,

"And he is going to beat your boyfriend's ass huh? "

Her eyes widened at his statement, she thought he would have forgotten,

"I have a very strong memory, Rayna, so tell me do you think he can beat me? "

Aarayna smirked and told him,

"And what makes you think that you are my boyfriend? "

Aviraaj's gaze grew intense, Aarayna understood she was treading on dangerous ground, but the allure of the pain was irresistible. With a lingering sip of her drink, she pressed on, knowing the consequences that awaited her.

"It could be Sarth-- "

He abruptly cut her off before she could finish her sentence, his voice dripping with menace.

" I dare you to complete that sentence the consequences won't be pretty Lawyer Sahiba... "

Aarayna couldn't help but feel a swarm of butterflies fluttering inside her when he uttered those words. She knew he was always honest, so she couldn't resist chuckling and playfully waving her hand.

"Just kidding, I have never seen you fight Aviraaj but yes I have seen Jonnah, he is the best, his skills and tactics are top-notch "

Aviraaj smirked and told her while looking in front,

"Then I think I definitely will have to meet this Jonnah "

"Nah, for you he is not Jonnah, he is Dario, only I can call him Jonnah "

Aviraaj looked at her with surprised eyes,

"Dario as in Dario Lombardi? "

Aarayna gazed at him with a puzzled expression, wondering how he could possibly know his full name when everyone in Italy only knew him as Dario.

"How the fuck do you know him? " he spoke in a commanding voice, Aarayna straightened and looked at him with challenging eyes,

"Keep your voice in check, Mr. Rathore, he has been a close friend since college "
