22.
Preet is smiling brightly and her face is glowing naturally. Her hand is moving as she is knotting Veer's tie. This becomes their thing. Preeti helps him with his tie everyday.
"You are looking happy today," Veer asked after wearing his cufflinks.
Preet lookup with the same glowing face and shook her head,
"It's not like this. I always stay like this,"
She places her palms against his chest as she is done with his tie. Veer looks at her face then his eyes stare into her hazel ones intensely.
"But you are looking different today. I mean you are looking beautiful," he said in a low deep voice making her heart run miles.
But suddenly she playfully frowns her face and said,
"Did I not look beautiful daily, huh?"
Veer suddenly panicked thinking she got him wrong and feeling bad.
"What? No…"
"No? I am not?" she asked dramatically, making him nod his head.
"I mean yes," he again said in panic. His brain is not working.
"Are you agreeing with me?!" she exclaimed with a fake gasp, enjoying his funny and scared expression.
"No no…you are getting me wrong. I mean to say to you look beautiful everyday," He said while Preet giggled at him.
"Why are you laughing?" He frowned, his eyes looking cute.
"I know, Veer. I am just pulling your leg," she told him with a wide smile and squeezed his cheek turning them red.
He looked at her happy face and suddenly slammed her back against the wall beside the dressing table. Caging her between his body and wall, he gently held her neck from the back. He pulled her face closer to his with a gentle jerk touching his nose with her.
"My wife is getting naughty, huh?" he whispers huskily, making butterflies dance inside her stomach.
"you enjoy troubling your husband, huh?" he again asked, decreasing the distance between their faces.
She slowly shook her head and bit her lips hiding her smile.
She gasped in surprise because suddenly he bit her nose.
"Use word wifey," he ordered and then kissed her nose softly.
"N..no" she breathed out while trying to control her crazy heartbeats.
"You should, love…" he said, giving her his charming smile which melted her heart.
"I also started to enjoy troubling my wife. You know how?"
Her chest is moving furiously due to her heavy breathing hearing his soothing husky and dark voice.
She again shook her head, unable to let out her voice due to their proximity.
"You are really naughty," he chuckled lightly, soothing her heart as his laughing sounds like music.
She looks into his eyes with love and adoration. She loves when he smiles or laughs which is very rare.
Unconsciously her gaze fell on his lips. She looks up at his eyes which turn intense realizing what she is thinking.
She placed her lips on his cold one and started kissing him slowly. Her hands move to his hair before pulling him down at her height.
Veer closed his eyes, feeling the softness and warmth of her lips. His hand fist her hair gently while the other hand cups her face to deepen the kiss.
He tilted her head and kissed her deeply. Their lips are moving furiously against each other.
Preet's phone suddenly started ringing in her trouser but they both were so busy ravishing each other's lips that the sound didn't reach their ears.
Preet pulled away due to the vibration of her phone while patting for air and looked at Veer who was also breathing heavily.
Veer gently wiped her lips with his thumb while looking at her with soft eyes. He then softly perked her lips and her forehead lovingly.
"I am downstairs. Come after taking your call and…tidy up your look, " he whispered the last part with his sexy smirk, making her shy.
Smiling lightly at her flushing face, he went out after setting his hair properly.
Preet quickly turned around and looked in the mirror. Her face turned more red than it was already looking at her messy condition. Her face is totally red like Apple, her lips are swollen and not to forget her messy hair.
She turns crazy when it comes to him. She can't stop herself near him. He is so warm, soft and she felt protected in his embrace. His touch is rough yet feels tender.
"Stop messing with my heart, Mr Veer Singh Rajvansh," and then she sighs, looking at his huge portrait in their room and then giggling cutely.
"Avni have this juice and I am not going to listen to your tantrums. Come on," Preet said in a strict tone, handling her glass of orange juice.
Avni makes faces as she doesn't like juices but then pouts sadly looking at Preet. Letting out a sigh of defeat, Avni silently finishes her juice.
"Good girl. Now I should leave for work," Preet lovingly said and went inside the kitchen to place the empty glass and then run out of the house in a hurry.
Damini was looking at them from the living room and a small curve formed on her face watching the scene.
Urmila is sitting with her and chopping dry fruits to make ladoos for Avni. She is flying on clouds in happiness after Avni gives good news to everyone.
"Urmila, I was thinking of naming the Barkat property to Avni and Aarav's baby. This baby brings so much happiness in Rajvansh Villa with him/her," Damini said.
Urmila stops her work and looks at her. Her smile dropped after hearing her but she quickly covers it and gives her fake smile.
"It's a good thought but Ma..Should Aarav's baby get the Raein Sheesh Mahal being the first child in this generation?" she asked but her voice slowed down looking at Damini's glare.
"That was the last memory of my Ranveer.
And now only Veer has the right to it. I never differentiate between Aarav, Anaya and Veer.
And they will get their rightful share in Rajvansh's property.
And don't forget it. And I suggest you, Urmila…
think before doing something under others' influence.
Some sweet words can be poisonous," Damini said looking into her eyes with a hard and firm look.
Urmila didn't say anything to her and just nodded her head slowly.
Walking inside her room, Urmila closed the door and sat on the bed. She fist the bed sheet tightly while breathing hard. Suddenly she let out a loud scream and threw the lamp on the floor from the side table.
"Veer! Veer! VEERRR!! All she knows is that Veer! First he ate his parents and now wants to destroy my son's life. He is nothing but a black shadow in my life, a bad omen," she said with so much hatred and disgust in her voice.
If it is in her hand she would have thrown him out of this Rajvansh Villa and their life. But her husband and own son are her real evil.
"If it is not enough now his child, who didn't even come into this world, will do the same. My grandchild will run behind him like a beggar. Like his father made my Aarav his servant," she is yelling while throwing things here and there.
"Then do something before it's too late, Urmi," comes Sumitra's voice. Urmila turned to her before she started crying loudly.
Sumitra hugs her and pat her back to calm her down.
"Crying would do nothing, Urmi," she told her.
"Ma, what should I do? Veer will destroy my family. He will destroy everything," she cried in her arms.
"Shh…don't cry. I am here with you. I will let anyone do injustice with Aarav. I will do everything for your and Aarav's happiness. Don't worry, Urmi," she sweetly said while smirking evilly.
Night time
"What about Mr Ahuja's deal? I ask you to send the contract details. Okay. When do I have to leave for Singapore? Hmm, Is the presentation read-" Veer is talking with his secretary in the balcony when Preet comes and hugs him from back. He tense for a second before he relaxed in her embrace.
"I will call later if needed. Good night," he hung up the call and kept his phone in his trousers pocket.
"What happens?" he asked slowly, placing his hand over her small ones as they stayed in the same position.
"Are you going to Singapore?" She whispered.
He smiles slightly before pulling her in front and looks at her face which looks sad. He placed his hands on the railing on her either side, caging her between him and the glass railing.
"Next week," he told her, staring at her face. She gave him a forceful smile and nodded.
"When will you be back?" She asked in a low tone while her hands automatically went to his neck and started fidgeting with his shirt buttons.
He chuckled at her question and wrapping his one hand around her waist he slams her against his body gently.
"I didn't even go there. And you are asking about coming," she shrugged off her shoulders while her eyes fixed on his shirt button that she was closing and opening again and again.
"Look at me, Biwi. I don't think I am that ugly to not look at me," she smiled and looked at his face.
"You are the most beautiful person in my eyes," she said with adoration, making his heart jump in happiness.
He never thinks or cares much about his look in general but hearing compliments from her. He felt proud of his face for the first time.
"Thank you so much but Don't you think you should use handsome, dashing, charming words instead of beautiful," He said with a confused face.
She smile cutely and said casually
"It's the same thing, Veer,"
"Then I can say you are also handsome," he teases with a smirk. She looks at him with narrow eyes and slaps his chest.
"No!!" she said but his smirk widened.
"But, it's the same thing, Preet," he said with fake innocence.
"Don't trouble me," she said with a cute angry face and slightly pushed back. As she turned to go inside, he quickly grabbed her wrist before picking her up in his arm making her squeal loudly.
"Veer! What are doing?" she asked, looking at him with her big eyes.
But instead of answering her, he kisses her lips and pulls away within a few seconds.
"Shh..don't talk," his voice came deep as said looking into her big eyes.
She bit her lower lips feeling butterflies in her tummy while looking back into his ocean-blue eyes.
He walked inside their room while her heart was thudding loudly at an unnatural pace in nervousness and excitement.
