Ch46The New Advocate Of Vardhans #5
"Fine, I admit that I tease her a little bit, but does that mean she won't even call me? How can she just stay away from the house like this? This is her home just as much as it is mine. What was the absolute need to go all the way to a different apartment just to study a corporate case?
That squashed little tomato hasn't even called me once since yesterday!"
His massive billionaire ego was standing like an immovable wall, fiercely stopping him from making the first move.
He was Rudraksh Vardhan; he didn't beg for attention.
But for the first time in his life, his stubborn pride was completely defeated by his overwhelming obsession for Rivanya.
Unable to handle the suffocating silence for another second, he pulled out his phone and aggressively dialed her number.
After a few agonizing rings, Rivanya finally answered the call. Her voice didn't carry any hesitation or shyness from the night before; instead, she sounded incredibly breathless and sharp. "Haan, did something happen? Are you alright? Did you or Vyom find any new evidence?"
Rudraksh's jaw clenched, thoroughly irritated by her strictly professional and detached greeting.
"Your mind has completely stopped working, Rivanya! When normal people answer a phone call, they usually ask how the person is doing first. But the moment you pick up, you are throwing a barrage of legal questions at me?"
Rivanya let out a quick, dismissive huff on the other end.
"Look, I absolutely do not have the time to listen to your useless arguments right now. I have been working myself to the bone since yesterday just to save your reputation, and if everything goes according to my plan, I will completely clear your name in the very first hearing itself. So please,
stop stressing and don't take any tension."
Rudraksh frowned, his sharp ears picking up a chaotic hum filtering through the speaker. "Are you outside somewhere? Why is there so much background noise?"
"Yes, I am currently at the City Hospital right now, which is why it's a bit loud," Rivanya replied casually.
The word hospital hit Rudraksh like a physical blow.
A paralyzing wave of pure panic and terror gripped his heart, completely wiping away his anger.
He stood up from his chair so abruptly that it rattled against the desk.
"Hospital? Why on earth are you at a hospital? Did something happen to you? Tell me the absolute truth right now, Rivanya! Stay exactly where you are, I am coming down there immediately."
Before he could step away from his desk, Rivanya's frantic voice cut through the line to stop him.
"Hey, hey, listen to me! Relax, absolutely nothing has happened to me, Rudra! I only came here regarding your case. I have just uncovered the biggest, most crucial piece of evidence to prove your innocence. Honestly,
you cannot even begin to comprehend the terrifying scale of the conspiracy that is being run against you behind the scenes here."
Rudraksh's eyes narrowed into dangerous slits, his protective instincts on high alert. "What do you mean by that? Speak clearly, Rivanya. What conspiracy?"
"I don't have the time to sit and explain the entire layout to you right now," Rivanya stated firmly, her tone radiating the aura of a confident lawyer.
"I still need to gather a few more supporting pieces of evidence before the day ends. Just understand one thing we have practically won this case already. The medical and situational angle I discovered here tells an entirely different story from what the media is broadcasting.
Just keep your complete faith in me and take care of yourself. I will see you tomorrow at the courtroom, Lord Husband not just as your submissive wife, but officially as Advocate Rivanya Rudraksh Vardhan. Bye!"
Before Rudraksh could utter another syllable or demand further explanation, a definitive beep echoed in his ear. Rivanya had cut the call.
Rudraksh was left standing completely frozen behind his grand desk, the phone still held tightly against his ear.
His mind was in absolute chaos, entirely stunned by the sheer confidence, authority, and brilliance his wife had just displayed.
The fragile girl he thought he needed to shield from the world was actively stepping into the line of fire to fight his battles, leaving the powerful Mafia King utterly speechless in his own domain.
