=======================

Author's pov:

The next morning, Ashlyn woke up with a renewed sense of determination. She had spent the night tossing and turning, her mind consumed with thoughts of Ashwin and their uncertain future. But now, as the sun streamed through the curtains, she felt ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

After getting ready for the day, Ashlyn made her way downstairs to join the rest of the family for breakfast. Viyaan greeted her with a warm smile, and she couldn't help but return it, grateful for his reassuring presence.

As they sat down to eat, Ashlyn's mind wandered back to her conversation with Ashwin the night before. She couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled over her since seeing the photos of Vikram. But she refused to let fear dictate her actions. She had to trust in Ashwin's ability to protect her and their family.

Throughout breakfast, Ashlyn tried to keep up a cheerful facade, but her thoughts kept drifting back to Ashwin. She couldn't wait for him to come home, to wrap her arms around him and feel the reassuring strength of his embrace.

After breakfast, Ashlyn decided to go for a walk in the garden to clear her head. The fresh air and the scent of blooming flowers helped to calm her racing thoughts, if only for a moment.

As she strolled along the winding paths, Ashlyn found herself thinking about the future once again. Despite the challenges they faced, she refused to lose hope. She and Ashwin had built a life together, and she knew that their love was stronger than any obstacle they might encounter.

Lost in her thoughts, Ashlyn didn't notice when Viyaan joined her in the garden. Startled, she turned to him with a smile. "Hey, Viyaan. What are you doing out here?"

Viyaan shrugged, his expression serious. "Just wanted to make sure you're okay. You seemed a little distracted at breakfast."

Ashlyn sighed, running a hand through her hair. "I guess I'm just worried about Ashwin. I can't shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen."

Viyaan nodded sympathetically. "I understand. But you have to trust in Ashwin. He's a smart guy, and he'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe."

Ashlyn smiled gratefully at her brother-in-law. "Thanks, Viyaan. I needed to hear that."

After her day in office 

Ashlyn was sitting in the living room, absentmindedly scrolling through her phone, when a notification from a news app popped up. She glanced at it, expecting another routine headline. Instead, her heart skipped a beat as she read the words: "Prominent Businessman Ashwin Mehra to Return to India After Successful Deal in London."

Her eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly tapped on the notification to read the full article. The piece detailed how Ashwin's business trip had concluded with significant success, and he was scheduled to return to Mumbai soon. It also mentioned the anticipation surrounding his return, both in the business community and among those who followed his career closely.

Ashlyn's mind raced as she processed the news. She felt a mix of emotions: relief that he would be back soon, curiosity about how things would be between them after their recent conversations, and a hint of nervousness about seeing him again.
