First of all : The last chapter was intense, but in his defence it's his way.
And yes it's a triple update. So please check the previous chapters.

Mia's POV

"I am sorry, so sorry I touched you like that. Please at least trust me on this one. I lost my mind when you said I treated you like a body. Believe it or not I really love you. Mia. Only you. Not your body. And a p-prostitute ! Mia please never say such words! I said Daniel could have you , but I also said only if you want him back. I never. Oh God. Shit never ever say like that . Don't insult my love. You have no right.

If I wanted to treat you like a body, I wouldn't have stop myself from touching you. When you were so willing, so responsive. But did I Mia? I said no. For how many times Mia? Then how could you say that I only wanted your body?

I agree I was wrong to sleep with you when you were drunk, but I swear on my dead maa it was you who initiated it. You kissed me and I was wrong not to stop you.

You were looking so amazing in that towel , I couldn't stop myself from saying that . "

He stopped talking after that . He wouldn't look at me now, I was wrong to say that . He was always gentle with me , how could I forget how many time he turned down my advances, but then when we were finally together in Greece, he was so gentle, always taking care of me . He almost went mad when Daniel assaulted me. He was a lot of things,but no he wasn't with me for my body.

He was kneeling down beside Andra and murmuring something so softly I almost had to strain my ears. "Sorry baby dadda hurt momma again. Be a good girl . Ok ? Don't trouble her. " He kept saying a lot of stuff to her. I felt like an third person in my own room looking at them .

He evidently loved Andra so much, it was so much harder the first few nights back home. He wasn't here to rock her back and forth in the middle of the night, and she'd cry her small heart out.

And I was wrong to not let him meet his daughter for more than a month . He missed out on a lot of firsts, but he accepted it. Never came back with any demands. Initially I thought he didn't care much about Andra,but I was wrong .He kept texting me for a weak asking for Andra's pictures and only then I sent him one. He respected my wish only to discuss about Andra . He kept texting me asking me everything about her and demanding photos.

I was wrong ,he loved her so much but stayed away because I prohibited him.

"I will be going now, yeah so goodbye". He didn't try to make eye contact with me,he was just leaving silently. But I needed to talk to him ."wait Karan."

He haulted ,his hand paused on the door knob.

Waiting.

"Karan I want you to sign those divorce papers . I can't stay with you ever. I can't forgive you neither can I forget whatever you did. I can never trust you again. Without trust there's no point in staying together. I have to move forward in life. And I don't want you in mine." It broke my heart to say all this words to him,but it's needed to be done. I couldn't go back and forth with him.

"Mia you don't mean it. I know you are angry on me,upset with me but without the divorce I have hope that you will come back to me . One day. Not today. But one day. Take as much time as you want but please don't ask for that." We facing each other now, I tried to look in his eyes, but he wouldn't meet my eyes. His everproud head was finally down in shame.

"You don't understand,do you. I am not angry or upset with you. I had an entire month to think. I cried a lot . I was angry then I decided to move forward. It's my decision that I don't want you in my life . I won't or can't take Andra away from you. That was wrong of me. I apologize for that. But I don't want you in my life anymore. " Oh God, it hurt more than I thought it would. I still wanted him,but it's true I didn't trust him anymore.

"Please baby give me one chance. That's all . I promise I will be a better person. I love you a lot. I was an idiot back then. I thought I was right and it's the saddest part. I won't ask for anything. You don't even have to come back to me ,but please don't ask me for a divorce. " he pleaded, on his knees now." I know you still love me".

No point in denying it. We were finally being honest for the first time with each other." Yes I do . But you know what I love myself more . I love Andra a lot more. I don't deserve you . I deserve more . A lot more. Just free me Karan ." All my defense mechanism came crumbling down . I was crying with him. "Just j-just free me. How did I not know you were deceiving me! How did I think you loved me! You didn't. I was just a pawn to you. Then you named that bloody business on my name! 80% of it. what were you thinking Karan ? Honestly huh? That I will be swayed by money? Well guess what! I am not".

I thought he'll be angry, he'll shout but instead he laughed. His broken laughter full of melancholy." You won't believe me if I tell you. Mia. I always feared one day you'll get to know about my sins and leave me. Everyone does leave me. So why would you be any different? But after that merger I started thinking ,you'll never take money from me if we ever get separated . Then we were having a baby. I was worried how will you manage? How will you provide for yourself and the baby? This company Mia 50%is your birthright. I didn't do anything at all. The rest you can say that's from me ,my gift to my family. But I knew you were too proud to take it. So in this one month I made Andra my soul heir and you are her guardian. So before she turns 21, you will have to take care of the business on her behalf. See I wasn't wrong . You are leaving me. I couldn't stop it from happening. If not this way ,then some other way you would have gotten to know. Since my father was hell bent on ruining us. I am sorry Mia, for ever targeting you. I wish you all the happiness,so if you truly want to be free from me then I will give you that."

"I can't take your business Karan . I don't know anything about it. I don't want to do that . Please stop this nonsense. Just sign those papers . You'll have Andra in your time. I won't take her away from you. You'll share her custody mutually. All right !" His face was blank by the time I finished. No trace of any emotions were left on his face. As if he wasn't just kneeling before me crying.

Without another word he picked up Andra and kissed her small face."Just know dadda loves you the most. Ok baby. Be my brave princess . All right . Be a brave girl . " Andra didn't wake up even when he embraced her and gently put her down .

I was next . It was a small embrace, just for a small moment. His mouth hovered above my ears ,he whispered only for my ears. "You are free. I don't want mutual custody. I won't take her away from you. She's yours. Stay safe love".

Then he was gone . Really. Leaving me behind. I still couldn't believe this happened . Did he really just agree . What happened to the stubborn man I knew?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Indeed he agreed .

Two days later.

I received those documents two days later . This time it came signed . I fell on knees, and cried and cried without any regard for my surroundings.

---------:::::---------------------

Basically this is the end of part 1. Karan signed those papers.

I can't believe I actually did cry while writing this .

Hope you enjoyed the book..
