Rohini's POV:

I am going crazy, Today Dad's friend's family is coming for dinner. Ugh! I just want the earth to swallow me. Mom has taken out a nice Indian salwar for me. I wore it and oh god it just looked so beautiful on me. I was happy wearing it.

Ignore the goggles and purse

Ignore the goggles and purse. And imagine long hair.

Mom came to my room and I saw her expression softening just for a minute.

"Behave properly, Don't let them reject you. Their family is kind and lovely." She said.

I don't plan on hiding what happened 8 years ago. I can't start a relationship based on lies. I took a deep breath and applied kajal and lipstick.

I was in the kitchen checking upon something that Mon said., Door-bell rang. They are here. I was suddenly nervous.

I peeked through the kitchen door but didn't see the guy. Our parents were exchanging pleasantries. Later a Man in a blue suit came. He had sharp features, a chiseled jawline, and deep brown eyes. But the face seemed familiar. He was wearing a suit but without the jacket. His shoulders were so broad.

As I was thinking who he was my mom's voice interrupted me

As I was thinking who he was my mom's voice interrupted me., she said to bring tea and snacks in a tray.

I took everything in three plates and went with a small fake smile.

I served them Chai and Snacks. As I looked at him I realized who he was--

Aditya Kapoor. The biggest businessman in India. Billionaire.

I was too stunned to speak my eyes went wide with realization about the encounter we had a few days back.

"Beta, are you alright?" His mom asked me.

"Yeah aunty, I am alright," I said with a nervous laugh. I sat beside him.

"This is my son, Aditya, He is a businessman and CEO of AD&CO. What about you? What do you do?" She asked.

"I am a lawyer in XYZ firm. I studied at ABC College and graduated with top rank" I replied proudly. Aditya also seemed impressed.

"Do you know how to cook?" She asked.

"Yeah, a little bit," I said nervously.

"Don't worry I will teach you." She replied. God, she is such an angel.

"Let the kids talk in private." His dad said making me more nervous.

I guided him on the way to our garden.

"Hi," I started the conversation.

"Hi, I almost didn't recognize you, Ms. Mishra." He stated.

"If that was meant as a compliment then thank you, Mr. Kapoor," I said.

"What are your hobbies?" I asked.

"I like painting, working out, cooking, and swimming. What about you?" He asked.

"I like dancing, singing, and taking photos," I said

"I wanted to tell you something, When are you free? I will come to your office" I asked.

"Ms. Mishra you can come to my office anytime now, You are my wife-to-be," She said and my heart skipped a beat.

"S-S-Surree" I managed to say suddenly flustered.

"Aren't you gonna say something like "Don't keep any expectations from this marriage" "I already have someone whom I love" or "I will never consider you as my wife" or something like that?" I asked honestly.

"Why would I? Isn't it obvious? Your dad's company needs this marriage to save itself and I need this marriage to become the next CEO. Did you not know this?" He said.

"That's what their motive was" I mumbled.

"What?" He asked.

"Nothing let's go inside," I said. I will use this marriage to get away from this shitty life.

The marriage was on 25th September and the engagement too cause his mother wanted it. This will change my life forever.

Aditya's POV:

We were going for dinner at her house. How I wish I could tell her not to marry but I don't even know her name.

"Behave nicely. I know this is just an alliance but still respect her as a person." My Dad said.

"Yes," I said and kept quiet for the rest of the ride.

I entered the house and it was a pretty well-maintained house. My parents and her parents were talking. Soon, they greeted me and I sat on the sofa.

Her mother called her with the Chai and snacks.

Soon a girl in a pretty white outfit came she greeted my parents and me. She had light makeup on. She had a mole below her lower lip. Watching her my heart skipped a beat. She seemed familiar though.

Her eyes were down the whole time but when she was serving the dishes she saw me clearly and the same for me.

She is the rude and egoist lawyer Rohini Mishra.

Then she sat beside me and Sonal Maa asked her a few questions and she replied proudly. Later we were sent to talk alone.

She started the conversation but I was just looking at her.

"I wanted to tell you something, When are you free? I will come to your office."She asked.

"Ms. Mishra you can come to my office anytime now, You are my wife-to-be," I said surprising myself. I saw her cheeks turning red. I have to stay away from her.

"Aren't you gonna say something like "Don't keep any expectations from this marriage" "I already have someone whom I love" or "I will never consider you as my wife" or something like that?" she asked making me surprised cause didn't she knew its a marriage of alliance?

"Why would I? Isn't it obvious? Your dad's company needs this marriage to save itself and I need this marriage to become the next CEO. Did you not know this? " I replied. She mumbled something I couldn't hear.

She just said let's go inside. And we went inside and our marriage was on 25th September and engagement the day before. Her family didn't want the engagement but Sonal Maa wanted it. So they agreed.

Soon we departed to our house.
