THE MISTRESS ✔️ (COMPLETED)

77~ Revelation

Eshaan was trying to work but Monica kept distracting him and trying to get his attention. She kept trailing her index finger on his cheek or caressing his leg with her feet. Eshaan clicked his tongue and glared at her. She smiled seductively. Then, she placed her palm on the back of the chair and leaned. She kissed his ear-lobe, but he waved her away. She pouted and once again leaned but before she could kiss him, there was a door-bell. Monica and Eshaan both groaned. Then, they looked at each other and chuckled.

'You wear a shirt, I don't want Jhanvi to see you half naked.' Monica said sternly. Eshaan sighed and silently walked into his room. He entered the room and took out a Tee. He pulled the Tee down his head and left the room.

When he came back to the living room, he was surprised seeing Jhanvi with Dr. Malthi.

What are they doing here? – He wondered. He looked at Monica, she looked worried while Jhanvi had a strange confident look on her face.

'What happened? Dr. Malthi? Jhanvi?' Eshaan looked at them. Jhanvi folded her arm and looked at Monica.

'Ask Monica that question.' Jhanvi said and kept glaring at Monica. Eshaan looked at Monica, she gulped tugging hair strands behind her left ear. Eshaan frowned.

'Monica?' He asked sternly but Monica doesn't reply, she didn't even look at him. Jhanvi dropped her arms and looked at Eshaan.

'I have been observing your girlfriend,' – She looked at Monica, she glared back, - 'and I realized there was something wrong. Then, I contacted Dr. Malthi and,' – She looked at Dr. Malthi. The doctor looked nervously at Eshaan and then at Monica, she shook her head slightly. Eshaan noticed that he looked back at Dr. Malthi.

'I am sorry, Mr. Ranawat but -- Miss. Rai is not pregnant.' She confessed. Eshaan's eyes widened and he turned his head and looked at Monica. She looked helplessly at him. His expressions turned stern as he glared at her.

Jhanvi sighed and continued, - 'She paid her manager some money and he got his aunt, Dr. Malthi to fake everything.'

Eshaan recollected Monica coming late for the photoshoot and then lying about going to her apartment. No wonder, Ramsen was insisting to take Monica to this particular hospital.

He clenched his fists and looked at Monica, she gulped.

'I can exp-explain.' Monica said softly. Jhanvi gestured Dr. Malthi to leave. She nodded and turned around. Jhanvi walked with her towards the main door.

Eshaan marched towards Monica and held her arms tightly, she winced as he pulled her closer. Their faces inches apart, he glared into her eyes.

'Another lie, Monica. Once again, you played with my heart and my feelings. Why?' He pushed her back. When Jhanvi came back, she hid behind the wall to not make things awkward.

Tear pooled Monica's eyes, she blinked, and tears fell down her eyes, - 'Eshaan, I didn't want to but I saw no other way,' – She wiped her tears and swallowed the lump in her throat, - 'You said-- that you-you are going to marry Jhanvi, how could I let that happen. Eshaan.' – She took a step and held his hand, - 'I love you very much, Eshaan. Because of my stupidity, I had lost you once, I can't lose you again.' She said and bit her trembling lips. Eshaan continued to glare at her.

Holding his hand, she fell to the ground, - 'I am sorry, Eshaan.' – She cried pressing her forehead against the back of his palm, - 'I got desperate. I didn't mean to hurt you.' She confessed. Eshaan pressed his lips tightly and jerked his hand from her grip. Her eyes flung open as she fell forward. He took a step away from her before turning around.

'Enough is enough. It doesn't matter why you lied.' – Monica looked up, teary-eyed, - 'already I had trust issues and instead of gaining my trust back, this is what you did.' – He looked away briefly before looking back at her, - 'I hate you for this, Monica. This was the last straw,' – He gestured with his hand, - 'Whatever we had is now over. Don't show your face to me, again.' He said seriously. Monica closed her eyes letting more tears fall. He shot a glare at her and then turned around and angrily stormed into his room.

Jhanvi bit her lip and held the wall tightly.

I shouldn't have brought the truth like this – She thought looking guiltily at Monica.

Monica wiped her tears with the back of her palms and slowly gathered herself. She got up and walked to the other. After she had closed the door, Jhanvi came out from behind the wall and walked towards Eshaan's room. She tugged her bushy curls behind her ear and twisted the doorknob and opened the room.

Eshaan was angrily pacing in the room and was startled when the door opened. Angrily, he grabbed the pillow from the edge of the bed and tossed it towards the door.

'Get lost, Monica.' He scolded her.

Jhanvi caught the pillow and moved it from her face. Eshaan blinked at her and then sighed looking away. She dropped the pillow as he placed his palms on his hips. Jhanvi turned around and closed the door. He looked at her.
