Lawfully Yours

Prologue

Verma she was a lawyer.

“Sadhna isn’t just asking for a divorce,” Arundhati continued, turning her gaze back to the muted television screen. “She’s playing a game. And she’s betting that you’ll fold.”

Anant clenched his jaw. “I won’t.”

Good.

“Then let’s begin,” she said, straightening in her chair.

“We won’t just fight back, Anant. We’ll make sure she regrets ever playing dirty.

Your wife may have thrown out an outrageous alimony demand, but she won’t see a single rupee she doesn’t deserve.

I’ll be handling this personally, ensuring her deception is laid bare in the court. ”

Anant leaned forward. “I have full faith in Verma the authority in his voice left no room for argument.

“You are the best lawyers I have. And Anant needs the best right now—Arundhati’s intelligence and Kushal’s manipulation.

We have to win this case. The firm’s reputation depends on it. ”

The heat in the room was unbearable.

Arundhati glared at Kushal.

Kushal glared right back.

It had been fourteen months since their marriage.

Nine months since they had started living separately.

Seven months since she had demanded a divorce—and he had refused.

And now?

They were fighting their own scandalous divorce battle in court because it wasn’t mutual.

Their cold war had played out in whispers among their colleagues, and already a full-blown scandal in the eyes of the media as the country’s two top divorce lawyers were fighting their own legal battle to end their loveless marriage.

And now, they were expected to work together?

Impossible.

“That’s settled, then.” Raj Verma sighed, turning to Anant again. “You have my word. Both of them will handle your case.”

Anant, although not oblivious to the war simmering between them, let out a relieved sigh. “Perfect.”

Perfect.

Arundhati had never hated a word more.

And across the room, Kushal Nair was still smirking.
