Shreya's POV

Life after marriage with Reyhansh Singhania is... I don't even know what category to put it in.

Not peace.

Not chaos.

Some dangerous, addictive mix of both that keeps rearranging my brain every single day.

And today?

Today I had finally decided something serious.

A doctor visit.

Because apparently, according to Rey, Rey's mom, and half of the household staff who now look at me like I'm a "pregnancy mystery project," I have been showing "signs."

Their words, not mine.

Personally, I think the only symptom I have is being married to a man who overthinks everything.

I adjusted my hair nervously while waiting in the living room.

"Okay Shreya," I muttered to myself, "just ask him normally. Calm. Mature. Responsible wife behaviour."

The door clicked open.

And my entire plan evaporated.

Because Rey walked in.

Grey shirt. Sleeves rolled up. That calm, powerful aura like he owns the air he breathes.

And then he smiled.

At me.

And that's where my brain stopped cooperating.

Before I could even speak—

he was already behind me.

Arms around my waist.

Lips at my shoulder.

Casual.

Like he didn't just restart my entire nervous system.

"Rey—" I tried.

"Mmm?" he murmured, completely unbothered.

I turned slightly. "Your mother is here."

From somewhere behind us, his mother's voice instantly came:

"Yes I am. Unfortunately I have eyes."

I froze.

Rey didn't even stop.

He just sighed against my shoulder. "Mom, can you schedule your sarcasm later?"

His mother replied instantly, "Can you schedule your romance somewhere private?"

I buried my face in my hands.

"Why is my life like this?"

Rey finally pulled back slightly, still holding me at the waist.

"So," he said casually, "what were you about to say?"

I looked at him.

Then at his mother.

Then back at him.

"...I think I should go see a doctor."

Silence.

Not normal silence.

Immediate system reboot silence.

Rey blinked once. "Why?"

His mother straightened. "Finally."

I raised my hand. "NOT LIKE THAT."

Rey narrowed his eyes slightly. "Then like what?"
