"It's clean" Kiara smiled proudly and looked at Ekansh who was cleaning the desk, the only thing that was left.

Ekansh nodded, "why don't you order something for us and Rookie of course?" Kiara nodded, and took out her phone.

After placing the order she looked at the completely cleaned room and smiled. "This place is amazing,"

Ekansh sat next to her on the bed and nodded, "yeah, it is."

"Why didn't you come here earlier?" She asked looking at the ceiling, it was carved beautifully, "before, like before our marriage?"

Kiara nodded and shifted her gaze towards him, "Yeah," he took a deep breath and whispered, "I never wanted to face this place again, but now I don't want you to suffer in that household, and I know they will make you suffer for sure, they loved you until you were my wife."

Kiara sighed and leaned on his chest, her back touching his hard chest, he immediately wrapped his arms around her waist, "Do they matter?"

Ekansh shook his head and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, "Stop thinking about them, let's start a new life here. We will keep this house decorated, with Rookie running here and there, Us cooking together, and our children playing in that beautiful garden."

She spoke dreamily, almost imagining their whole life, Ekansh smiled at her words, his heart warming at the thought of the life they could build together. "You have such a vivid imagination," he teased, "and I have no doubt we can make it a reality."

He ran his fingers through her hair, lost in thought for a moment before speaking again. "But seriously, we may have to do something about the garden. It's not exactly in the best condition."

"We can plant different type of flowers, and few trees and then add some swings.

And repair that fountain." She smiled and looked at him, Ekansh chuckled at her enthusiasm, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

"You've got quite the vision, don't you?

I guess we could make it like a small park, huh?

With all sorts of colorful flowers and trees. "

He paused, thinking for a moment before speaking again. "And that fountain... it used to be my favorite part of the garden when I was a kid. It would be nice to see it working again."

Kiara smiled as her phone rang, it was the food delivery, "Husband, the food is here, go recieve it."

Ekansh playfully saluted her. "As you wish, my beautiful wife," he said with a mock-serious expression.

He rose from the bed and walked towards the door, pausing briefly to look back at her. "Don't go redecorating the house while I'm gone, alright?"

She chuckled as he left, she stood up and walked out of the room, as she walked towards the stairs to look at him, she found a room locked, she frowned. And was about to approach that room when Ekansh came.

"Hey, what are you looking at?" he asked, seeing the direction of her gaze.

"This room?" She frowned looking at the lock, Ekansh took a deep breath, "the room where my mom used to stay, she took her life here."

Kiara closed her eyes mentally slapping herself for her curiosity, "shall we eat?" She dragged him inside their room and sat on the couch, "I am so hungry."

Ekansh chuckled, He followed her to the couch and sat down next to her.

"Alright, we'll eat first," he agreed, still amused by her quick change of topic.

Once they were done eating Ekansh went to throw the packets while Kiara threw herself on the bed, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, 'this house was closed for so many years, yet it feels so welcoming.'

Soon she was him coming back and smiled, "Hello husband." Ekansh chuckled as he padded back into the room and found Kiara sprawled on the bed. He sat down beside her, placing his hand on her stomach.

"Hello, beautiful wife," he replied, his fingers tracing soft circles on her abdomen. "You seem quite comfortable there."

"Am I not supposed to be?" She raised an eyebrow, Ekansh shook his head, a mischievous gleam in his eye. "Oh, you're definitely allowed to be comfortable." He leaned closer, his voice dropping to a low murmur. "But you look even comelier like this."

His hand moved from her stomach to her hip, gently pulling her closer. She gasped by his sudden move as he pulled her on top him, her hands immediately held his shoulders.

Ekansh's hands gripped her waist, holding her in place, their bodies pressed snugly together. He stared up at her with love in his eyes, enjoying the sudden gasp that escaped her lips.

"There we go," he said in a low voice, a smirk playing on his lips. "Now you're in the perfect position."

"Is it the same introvert Ekansh I got married too?" She raised an eyebrow, trying to surpass a smile.

Ekansh's smirk widened into a grin. "Don't worry, I haven't completely changed," he replied, his grip on her hips firm but gentle.

He looked up at her with a mix of playfulness and desire in his eyes. "I just reserve this side of me for special occasions... like when I have my beautiful woman on top of me."

Kiara blushed and hid her face in chest, Ekansh chuckled at her blushing as she hid her face in his chest. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her even closer, loving the way she fit perfectly into him.

"No need to be shy," he murmured, his lips brushing against her hair. "I love seeing you like this. It makes me want to keep you in this position forever."

She raised her face and looked into his eyes with the same affection.

Ekansh couldn't resist the sight of her looking at him with such affection. He cupped her face gently, his thumb lightly tracing her bottom lip.

His gaze darkened slightly as he looked up at her, "You drive me crazy, you know that?"

He didn't give her time to respond, instead he leaned forward and captured her mouth in a searing kiss. She immediately closed her eyes, melting in that deep kiss full of love and trust.
