Sameer entered the mansion with Rehman discussing business-related things. At that moment Sameer's eyes fell on his sleeping wife. She had worn a white kurti with a simple dupatta. Her hair which was left open as usual made her look even more beautiful. She was Queen in the true sense, he thought to himself. He realized she had slept studying as he noticed books kept on the table. He walked towards her, tapped her face slightly. Rehman sat on the sofa checking something on the phone, not interfering with the couple.
"Naina," Sameer called her name trying to wake her up. She stirred in sleep mumbling something against her breath. Sameer sighed and picked her in his arms carefully. She snuggled into his warmth. Sameer took her to their room and made her lay on the bed and left not before covering her with a duvet.
"Sameer, we need to do something about this matter before things worsen," Rehman spoke as he showed Sameer something on his phone. Sameer nodded his head a bit in a way of understanding.
"I need a list of companies he has shares in," Sameer replied to him, Rehman hummed in response and took his laptop while Sameer pressed his temples subconsciously as he was disturbed by a few things.
"Shall I ask you something?" Rehman asked, breaking his trance. Sameer gestured to him to speak. "Why are you behind these people? Jaha tak mujhe pata hai, they are not your business rivals." Rehman asked.
"They are not just rivals," Sameer said, clenching his jaw, shutting his eyes as he thought about his past.

Naina was still groggy in sleep. She sat straight and adjusted her dupatta properly. She looked around at the unknown place but then sighed remembering that they were in Paris. She stepped down the bed feeling unsteady. She washed her face and then went downstairs. Naina glanced at Sameer and Rehman who was speaking. Rehman smiled seeing her. Naina smiled in response but frowned seeing something, her husband was smoking again. Sameer did notice her expressions but shrugged off his thoughts. He took in a puff of smoke once again while Naina fisted her hand to control her anger. She picked up her books and kept them on the table then sat next to Sameer glaring at him.
"Queen, do you want to join us?" Rehman said, lightening a cigarette and forwarding it towards her. As there were lady dons too who used to smoke, so as courtesy Rehman asked Naina to join them. Naina gulped a lump of saliva in fear and held it with her shivering hands. She glanced at Sameer who was not looking at her, making her angry as she had warned him not to smoke. She drew a deep puff and started coughing badly. Her face turned red but coughs did not subside. She felt as if someone clenched her lungs, unable to breathe. Sameer got concerned seeing her state he fisted the burning cigarette which she was holding and hugged her rubbing her back so that she relaxed.
