Healed By Her ❤️

Chapter 40

"Manik"

"Baby"

My cheeks warm up at the nickname

"Why do you need to get married?" I ask

He sighs but doesn't avoid eye contact

"Please, I won't tell anyone you know that"

"I never doubted you hun" he whiseprs

"Then what is it?" I ask

"My father owns a house, cabir and i's childhood home and a orphanage"

"Okay"

"Cabir gets the house and I get the orphanage but to claim those two things I need to get married, cabir gets his share already because he is married but I can't get the orphanage until I am married. Now I would never be rash about the idea of marriage but if I don't get this in the next 2 weeks, my mother will get it automatically" he explains

"Can't your mother just give it to you? Like you know sign papers or something?"

"It's not that simple nandini, I didn't even know about the will till recently but I was supposed to get it when I turned 25 but she prevented it. I have 2 weeks nandini and I can't lose that orphanage, she wants to demolish the orphanage and build some random fucking shit on the land"

'Why can't she just use some other land?"

"The orphanage is in a prime location where malls and buildings are being made so if she sells that land, she can get millions, you know how developers get when they wants something"

"I know" I whisper

this is why he wants to get married.

I can't even blame him, fuck, this just makes me feel heavy because that little hope in me that he won't get married is gone. He has to get married and well thats kind of it

"I will have a few dates set up tomorrow, you might as well get to know these people before choosing the right one" I whisper looking him in his eyes which seemed to shift a little

I don't know what emotion he is feeling but it's something other than anger.

"There won't be a right one, at least not in that pile of papers" he mumbles

Before I could answer he leaves my legs stepping aside as he props his hands on the side of the pool getting out of the pool. He grabs a towel drying off as he walks into his room, I couldn't help but notice a tattoo on his back

Stars, he has three stars on his back.

I look up at the stars that were shining very bright today.

"He talks to you, doesn't he? Mind sharing some of his secrets with me?" I ask smiling

'He isn't yours nandini, he never was' my brain repeats

I shake my head chuckling before getting out of the pool.

"Your first date is here" I inform Manik

It is 10 in the morning and I know dang well Manik is shit angry about the meeting that just went south an hour ago. So they were supposed to show us the progress I the building plan but unfortunately they didn't have it at all.

"I don't give a fuck" he mumbles back

"Yeah? Wanna get married or not?" I ask

he looks up at me glaring and I swear if glares could kill, I'd be dead

"I do not want to see her" he utters gritting his teeth

"Monster get ready, your future wife is here. Sonali" I yell
