"But mam, the Bills of the patient are already paid under the name Akshat Malhotra",her words promptly took her by shock. She was not able to believe her goddamn ears but instead of feeling relief, anger started bubbling inside her. After doing all this drama, is he trying to become her Knight in shining armour? What is he trying to proof? That she is helpless and depends on his money for the treatment of her father! Clenching her fist in anger, she hastily walked outside.

"Veer! Drop me to the cafe Resto",she ordered her driver as soon as she sat inside her husband's lavish black mercedes. The driver instantly pulled the car towards the cafe and in few minutes, she reached there.

"Can I meet the manager of this cafe, please? Um... I'm looking for a job here",she hesitantly asked the receptionist.The receptionist looked quite astounded hearing her words since she was looking like a woman belonging to a wealthy family, specially the car from which she had recently stepped outside. So why does she need a job of a waitress, suddenly? Nevertheless, shaking her head, she contacted the manager of the cafe.

After about a bit of conversation with the manager, he finally agreed to give her the job. "So when should I start?",she asked getting quite happy that atleast she doesn't need to beg in front of her so called husband who wouldn't give her a penny without boasting himself in front of her and without leaving any chance of humiliating her.

"If you wish you can join from tomorrow itself. The timing is from 4 pm to 10 pm. I'll give you monthly 12k for this! Is it ok?",he asked. She nodded her head giving him her best smile and left the cafeteria afterwards with her face beaming like a fresh lily...

"Pull the car to the mansion!" He nodded, pushing the key to the ignition while turning the car on the highway.

Tapping her phone impatiently on her knees, she was looking in and out of the car's window, thinking to call Kavya and tell her everything about what happened yesterday night! She was being restless to talk with her and share her grief with her best friend but if she would get panicked then? Would it be okay to tell her now? Many questions started rising in her mind and in the end, taking her inner soul's advice on board, she dialled her number while chewing on her bottom lips in agitation. After about two rings, she finally picked her call.

"Hi Aru! How's you doin'?",she replied positively and as she was about to continue further, Kavya hesitantly interuppted her in between."Um...I wanted to say something to you, Aranya but please don't get panicked at first! Okay?" She hummed gulping down the saliva while preparing herself mentally to bear the trauma of the upcoming news.

"Actually Akshat is having an extra marital affair with the lady named Nina. She often comes in his office and they share some private moment together. Today also, she's with him in the office only. Few minutes ago, I accidentally stepped inside his office without knocking to handle him the reports but the scene before me was really shocking. She was sitting on his lap while he was holding her hand and they both were in a quite intimate position. I hope you understand what I mean. Um...I don't mean to hurt you by telling all this but since you're my friend, it's important for you to know his..."

"No ac-actually you did great by informing me about his Affair. I'm slightly hurt by this but I know how to straighten a dog's tail. It's nothing new. I know about his infedility and why not, a man who doesn't have an ounce of humanity can stoop at any level to show his character. Next time, neither he would even think of f*cking another wh**e nor she would even dare to buzz around this b#stard", saying this she hung up the call while heaving a shaky breath. Her whole body was trembling with fury and pain. Her eyes became bloodshed while tears started pooling inside of her doe eyes.

How much you'll hurt me Akshat? Afterall I'm a human too! First you forcefully married me than you marred my dignity, than you hurt my emotions, than you raised your hand on me, than you shot my father and now you're cheating in the broad daylight? How can you stoop so low?

"Veer! Drop me at Akshat's company!!",she instructed her driver while balling her fists in anger...

Tapping her heels aggressively against the hard floor, she barged inside his cabin without knocking. But the scene before her was sadly heart breaking. The tears that she was trying to control for so long started rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably on seeing Nina kissing Akshat passionately while straddling him with her arms wrapped around his neck while his arms were encircling her waist, pulling her too tightly against his chest.

"What the...?!!",his words got stuck in his throat on seeing his wife standing at the entrance of the door in a completely messed up state with her eyes all red and puffy while her mascara was completely smudged. Her chest was heaving up and down in anger and she was glaring at them with a very dark look in her eyes.

He Immediately pushed Nina aside and stood up from the chair.

"What are you doing here?",he asked regaining from shock.

"Why? Have I disturbed your little makeout session? Oops! I mean your f*ck session with the w**re here!!",she said in a really calm yet spine chilling tone while throwing a murderous look towards Nina who was scrunching her face at her.

"Mind your tongue Aranya! You don't have any right to abuse someone. Don't forget that I'm a man with needs. If my wife is too busy wh**ing around with other man that she cannot give her time to her husband than what should he do? Shouldn't he also satisfy his desire with f**king another woman",he said coldly while pulling Nina abruptly against his chest while she smirked at her, trailing her slender fingers on his sharp jaw.

"Oops, I forgot to introduce her to you. Meet Nina, my gf and Nina she's um..my namesake wife", he smirked proudly seeing her face pained seeing his envious smirk.

That was the end of her patience. Though she was not in love but the marriage meant alot for her. She couldn't bear seeing her husband in another woman's arm. Has he ever accepted her as his wife that she'll fulfill his desires? His beatings, cursing, abusing and torture, everything she bore silently so that anyhow she could make this marriage work. But he being a womanizer and creepy psychopath, kept pushing her away...

She became completely blinded in rage and hurriedly walking towards the duo, she grabbed the girl roughly by her hair and yanked her body away from his hold. Before he could even protest, she immediately gave him a hard smack and rushed outside his cabin without loosening her hold on her hair with the staffs eyeing the whole drama in shock while some even gasped seeing her fearlessly dragging Nina like a rag doll. Akshat cursed in frustration while running his fingers through his hair and immediately ran behind her but she had already gone inside the elevator.

She slapped Nina hard on her cheeks when she tried to bite her wrist to free herself from her stony grip.

"Fuck you b*tch!! Leave my hair dammit",Nina growled in anger while pinching her hand to let go of her hair but in response she tightened her hold even more that she started wincing in pain and landed two repeated backhands on her already swollen cheek.

"Today, I'll teach you a life lesson wh*re so that you will never even think of luring someone's else man!", she spat angrily while walking out of the elevator and immediately left her hair and held her wrists tightly on seeing the staffs standing all aghast seeing the shocking sight unveiling in front of them.

"Listen y'all! I have a very important news to tell! The girl you're seeing here, obviously a scapegoat, was secretly selling the confidential databases and patents of this company to our rival group. What punishment do you think, she deserves? Even I have something more interesting to tell you guys...",she paused while throwing an evil glance towards Akshat who was rushing towards her in hurry...
