Siya’s POV

Sitting beside Ehaan in the hospital, watching his chest rise and fall as he slept, a mix of relief and fear churned inside me. I had never imagined him like this—so vulnerable, so worn down. He always seemed untouchable, distant. But tonight, something inside me shifted as I watched over him.

Ehaan was my husband, yes, but we weren’t… traditional, to say the least. Even though he married me blackmailing to take revenge on rudra he is the only lawful relation I had in this world at the moment.

When he finally opened his eyes, I forced myself to smile, hoping to ease the worry in his expression. “Welcome back,” I whispered, reaching for his hand as he blinked, taking in his surroundings.

But I knew I couldn’t keep pretending everything was fine. There was something I needed, something I couldn’t ask of anyone but him.

The next evening, after Ehaan had been discharged and was resting at home, I finally gathered the courage to tell him. As I entered the dimly lit living room, he looked up from where he was sitting, his expression guarded, as always.

“Ehaan,” I started softly, taking a seat across from him. “I need you to do something for me.”

His brows furrowed slightly. “What is it?” he asked, his voice low, cautious.

I took a shaky breath, choosing my words carefully. “There are… three people who hurt someone I care about. I want to make sure they pay for it. I need them gone.”

The room fell into a heavy silence. His eyes darkened, and for a moment, he looked almost distant, his gaze drifting to the floor. “You’re asking me to kill them.” It wasn’t a question; his tone held no judgment, just cold understanding.

“Yes.” My voice was barely a whisper. I had never asked him for anything like this before, but I knew he was the only one who could make it happen.

He studied me for a moment, as if assessing my resolve. “I’ll do it,” he said, his voice gruff, “but I want something from you in return.”

The surprise must have shown on my face because he let out a low chuckle, his eyes still unreadable. “I don’t want a normal marriage, Siya. I never did. But if I’m going to do this for you, I want… something real. Something lasting.”

My heart pounded, unsure where this was going. “What do you mean?” I asked, the words barely escaping my lips.

He leaned forward, his gaze intense. “I want us to have a child, Siya. I want you to give me that, at least. A part of you and me, something beyond all of this.” His tone was soft yet unwavering, making it clear he wasn’t asking for anything less.

The request hit me like a wave, leaving me speechless. A child… with Ehaan. We were husband and wife, but we had built our lives together on a foundation of hate and revenge.

I took a shaky breath, unsure how to respond. “Ehaan, why… why a child?”

He looked away, his jaw clenched as he seemed to struggle with his own thoughts. “Because it’s the only way I’ll know there’s something real between us. Something no one can take away.”

I swallowed, processing his words. A child. An unbreakable bond. He was asking me to give him a piece of myself in the purest, most irrevocable way.

After a long silence, I nodded. “Alright,” I whispered. “If that’s what you want… I’ll give it to you.”

"Only if your 100% okay with it,not a demand but just a trade"he said in a serious yet calm tone which is rare for someone like him

"Yeahh I'm okayy with it"I don't wether I was impulsive but something in made me agree to it

"Okayy take your time..you have time till I heal if anytime you want to say no I won't stop you"he said

"Okayy"i said in a low uncertain tone

He was having a bowl of his favourite red sauce pasta and tried to lift the spoon but his knuckles were badly injured so he wasn't able to

"Can I help you"I asked

He juss nodded

I started feeding him moving closer his cologne and breath they smelled great and fresh probably due to shower.

He had some sauce stuck in his corner of lips I wiped it with my hand and instantly he blushed which was rare but the most beautiful

"You look good when ur blushing I said teadinv
