I have Wednesday and Thursday as my off days so I will update on Wednesday and Sunday for next week.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Now back to the story.

"Come back to me. " The voice of Khushi interrupted Arnav's deep thoughts, and he looked up to see Khushi in her robe with a towel wrapped around her head.

He smiled as he pulled her onto his lap, and she sat astride him as he inhaled a sweet scent from her exposed neck, making Khushi giggle.

She drew back and pecked his lips while running her hand through his thick yet soft hair.

"You have been lost since you returned from speaking with Nani...... Did she do anything to upset you?" Khushi inquired with concern, but Arnav sighed and shook his head.

"She didn't upset me, but it was rather her observation that did it." Arnav responded, pausing for a moment before continuing. "She said that she believes Naina's presence here is not a coincidence, but that she was planted here because Anjali is planning something...... She wanted to tell Akash when he and Payal comes back but since am here, she couldn't wait that's why she asked to speak with at the occasion venue away from the house. "

Khushi appeared scandalized upon hearing Arnav's words, but she knew that if Arnav was deep in thought, it was not something to be taken lightly.

"What did she notice?" She asked.

"She said Naina had never come to RM to stay before, even during vacations or when Anjali and that disgusting old man went on their frequent travels during Naina's custody time with Anjali, but now all of a sudden, Naina is here, and what piqued her suspicions was her constant questioning about the family businesses and how many branches there are...... She also said that she knew when Anjali was plotting something, and Naina had the exact same expression as her mother when she was about to cause chaos....... I was sceptical at first but I remember she knew Anjali better than me and new most of her habits and expressions so when she told me this, I immediately called Siddharth and asked why Naina was not with him as usual when Anjali went on her travel spree, and what he said cleared up any doubts I had about Nani's words."

"What did he say? Khushi asked impatiently.

"He said Nani could be right because Naina was determined to come here even though she and Kiki were never close and, in fact, she despises Kiki..........Secondly, she was never close to Nani, the only member of the family with whom she should have had a strong relationship........ Mama and Mami had also left for Mami's monthly rehabilitation in Sweden with her new doctor, so what would be the reason for a teenager to abandon her friends?....... Siddharth had asked her friends if she called them, but no one had received any calls, and they had revealed to him that her calls with Anjali at school had increased, and she was always smirking devilishly at Kiki, even creating a hate blog for Lulu and Kiki's social media...... He is been looking into it for the past two days, and he expects to know whether the hate blog belongs to Naina by Tuesday........He had asked us to find a way to get Naina out of the house tomorrow so that some of his men could sweep the mansion for any hidden cameras or spyware just to be safe."
