Married to Devil

Chapter 45: Romantic Moments

Flashback...

After he had finished talking to Ishqi on the phone, he got another call from an unknown and private number. He tried to track it for a long time, but he couldn't. Today, when the same number called again, Rajveer gritted his teeth and answered the call…

Caller: So, how did that shock feel, Rajveer Singhania? Just wait and watch what I do next. What you did to me wasn’t right, and I will definitely take my revenge. This was just a small trailer, many more shocks are coming your way… (laughing like a maniac)

Rajveer: Whoever you are, I’ll find you, even if you’re hiding deep underground. Because you messed with the wrong person, and you’re going to pay for it… (saying this he cut the call)

Before Rajveer could react, he heard footsteps outside his cabin. He quickly calmed himself and sat down on his chair, because he didn’t want to show his other side in front of Ishqi…

Flashback end…

In the evening, after office hours ended, Ishqi and Misha walked into the parking lot. Just then, Rajveer arrived from behind. After what had happened that morning, he didn’t want to leave them alone. As they were about to take out the bike, Rajveer stepped in and stopped them…

Rajveer: You both are coming home with me…

Ishqi: But Rajveer…. (but cut by him)

Rajveer: I don’t want any arguments because I can’t take any risks with your safety… (with authority)

Misha: But bhai, what about my bike?

Rajveer: The driver will take it, but you two are coming with me. And from tomorrow, no more bikes, you’ll come by car… (very strict voice)

Hearing Rajveer’s deep voice, neither of them said a word, just nodded silently. They knew there was no point arguing with him, and besides, safety mattered more right now. They got into the car: Rajveer and Ishqi in the back seat, Misha in the front. The car pulled out toward home, and not a single word was spoken during the entire ride. Each of them was lost in thought, Misha and Ishqi replaying the morning’s incident, while Rajveer, phone in hand, was sending out orders to track down the person responsible. It was already evening, and still no lead had surfaced. That only fueled Rajveer’s anger, but Ishqi’s presence kept him calm…

Rajveer’s room: 

As soon as Ishqi and Rajveer reached their room, Rajveer went to freshen up while Ishqi headed downstairs to get coffee. But the chef told her Rajveer had already asked for it. A little later, Rajveer came out, and by then Ishqi had returned and went to freshen up herself. When she came back, she saw a maid had already placed the coffee tray. Ishqi picked it up and the two of them went to their private space in the library's open sitting area. While enjoying their coffee, Ishqi began chatting with Rajveer like she did every day, but Rajveer’s attention was entirely on her, as if he were lost in her presence. And our Ishqi had no idea what was truly going on in his heart…

But he couldn’t control himself. The morning’s incident was still replaying in his mind, and one thought kept haunting him, what if things had gone worse? Suddenly, he stood up, lifted Ishqi by the waist, and placed her on the table. Without a word, he pressed his lips to hers. He could endure anything, but not someone even daring to lay eyes on his Ishqi…

At first, neither of them moved. Rajveer just held the kiss, wanting Ishqi to feel safe in his arms. Ishqi stayed still, too surprised by how suddenly it had happened. But slowly, they both relaxed. Rajveer began kissing her gently, then deeper, his hands tightening around her waist as he pulled her closer. Ishqi’s hands slid from the table to his neck, and she started kissing him back. This time, Rajveer’s kiss was more intense, filled with everything he couldn’t say. Ishqi felt it, and matched his passion, holding him close. When she finally pulled away, breathless, they both sat there quietly, their hearts racing, their breaths deep and uneven…
