Siya's Pov

I spotted Riya walking toward Kanishk and a sudden fear crept inside me.

Chill Siya, Kanishk isn't Dev.

"Who is she?" Ananya asked as she looked over where I was watching Riya.

"My older sister," I answer and decided something, I looked over at Ananya, she was looking at me worried. I gave her a smile, "I need to use the washroom, I-"

"No worries, I'll wait here, you go." She says waving her hand and giving me a smile.

"Thanks, I'll be right back," I say and walk toward where Kanishk, Rishi, and Riya were talking.

I went a little behind and hid completely with the flower decoration. I took a glass of wine on the way and took out my phone just to not let people think that I was an idiot standing there alone.

I could hear them from here and clearly, Riya was flirting.

"I've heard so much about you Mr. Kapoor. And I must say your choices in the cars and bikes are fabulous, you know I love cars too." I heard Riya speak.

"Yeah, I love cars that are correct. But I don't know where you heard about me and a bike. Cause I don't own a single bike." Kanishk says, amusement clear in his voice.

"Uhh...oh. I must've mistaken your choices with someone else then I guess. I'm sorry." She laughs and I grit my teeth at that annoying laugh.

"It's no problem," Kanishk answers.

"So Mr. Kapoor, I've heard you own half of the hotels in the city and some petrol pumps and some malls in the west and-"

"Yes, he owns lots of things, what is your point, Miss Riya?" Rishi asked from beside Kanishk and he sounded amused and a little irritated.

"Oh...I just wanted to know if you're married or are you single." She asks directly I was about to break the glass in my hand when Ananya spotted me.

"There you are, did you lose your way or something." She laughed and I smiled.

"Yeah, something like that," I chuckle. "Let's go back to the boys?" I ask and she nods happily.

"Yeah, come on." Ananya and I walked toward Kanishk and Rishi. Riya was standing way too close to Kanishk for my liking.

"Your sister is weird," Ananya comments from beside me when she notices how close she was moving to Kanishk.

"I know," I mutter under my breath and that's when Kanishk spots me and his eyes go wide.

"There you are." He says as if he was relieved that I came. "See, there's my wife right behind you," Kanishk says and takes a step back as if he was getting fed up with her presence.

I saw Riya's shoulders fall down as if she just lost a battle at something.

Oh I know, she just wanted a rich husband which unfortunately for her, is taken.

I saw Riya turn around, her lips crooked as if she was bored even to see the wife of Kanishk Kapoor. She surely didn't do her homework about his personal life but only about his bank balance.

As soon as Riya turned around and looked at me, her eyes went wide as if she has just seen a ghost. Her lips parted and she looked at me up and down. Sudden distaste formed on her lips. "You!"

"Hi Riya," I say professionally and gave her a smile.

"What are-"

"Hi I'm Ananya, you're Siya's sister right?" Ananya spoke before Riya could say anything stupid.

"Siya's sister?" Kanishk's surprised voice came from behind Riya and he looked at her with raised brows.

Riya looked uncomfortable with the sudden limelight on her and she was looking at every one of us then smiled at Ananya and nod her head.

"Yeah, I'm her sister." She answers but refused to look at me.

"Baby?" A familiar voice came from behind me and I turned around to see Dev standing there. He looked surprised at me standing there and then looked at Riya.

"Mr. Sinha, nice party," Rishi comments as soon as he walks toward us and Dev gives him a nod with a small thanks.

Dev walked towards Riya and slide his hand on her waist and pulled her closer all the time looking at me as if he was trying to make me feel jealous. I gave him a smile just to piss him off and give myself the satisfaction that I'm not jealous.

"Finally we meet Mr. Sinha," Kanishk says and this time he slides his hand on my waist and pulls me closer, looking directly at Dev and Riya. "I'm Kanishk Kapoor. Siya's husband." With one hand on my waist, he forwards his other hand towards Dev for a handshake.

"Kan...Kanishk Kapoor?" Dev says and looks up at Kanishk as if he has just seen a God. "I'm so glad that you came to my party, I'm such a huge follower of yours. I've read every article, every column, and every business magazine you've written. I'm such a huge fan of yours...I just can't believe I'm meeting you--"

Kanishk leaned toward me and whispered in my ears. "Your ex is definitely sick, no wonder he left you," He bites down a smile as I give him a glare.

We look back at Dev, he was still busy talking about Kanishk and his achievements while Riya stood beside him embarrassed trying to stop him from speaking.

"Yeah, he is quite a man," Rishi says who was quite enjoying the scenario.

"I didn't know you were married," Dev says as he looks at both, me and Kanishk and it was quite unclear who he was talking to.

"Yeah, our wedding was quite a family affair," I reply and see Riya who was busy glaring at Kanishk's hand on my waist.

"Hello Riya, it's good to formally meet Siya's sister," Kanishk says and Riya immediately looked at him with a smile.

"Hello, I apologize, but it was quite a shock to me that my little sister is married to you, you see I'm a top model and one of the famous fashion designers in New York so I didn't had time to come to the wedding, I'm sure you'll understand, given, you're quite busy and famous yourself," Riya says with a wink and I roll my eyes.

She is freaking flirting with my husband!

Before I can open my mouth and start to argue, Kanishk pulls me closer and laughed.

"Yeah I can understand, given, my wife is equally busy and famous, but we take out time for our family, turns out, it's fun to spend time with them."

And just like that Kanishk Kapoor, my husband, made me speechless for the first time.
