CHAPTER 14

DHEER

Iwas on a call with Kirori Ji when Isha rapped on the door and walked into my study.

“Bhai Sa, we have to talk.”

I waved her into a chair and wound up my call.

“What are you up to?” she asked suspiciously.

“Delivering a much-needed message to the Goels about my upcoming wedding. And that I will not tolerate any attack on my new extended family,” I replied, stretching my arms over my head. “Now, how can I help you?”

“You need to sit down and talk to Diya. Clearly and honestly.”

I stared at her in confusion.

“About what?”

“About the past. She won’t trust you unless you tell her why you dumped her without an explanation. And how can you have a happy ever after without trust?”

I barked a bitter laugh and Isha winced.

“There is no happy ever after for us, Isha. You have to accept that.”

“But I thought you wanted to be with her forever.”

“I do, but the past is dead and gone, and I refuse to bring it up again. We all need to move on.”

“Bhai Sa, Diya will leave you if you don’t give her a valid reason to stay,” snapped Isha.

I shook my head.

“Don’t worry about it, Isha,” I said lightly.

Because I knew I was never letting Diya go. Once we got married, she was mine forever. I would find a way to make her stay.

There was a knock at the door, and Diya poked her head around the door.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to disturb your conversation.”

“Come on in. I was just leaving,” said Isha, with a pointed look at me.

Diya hovered in the doorway uncomfortably and I waved her in.

Isha shut the door softly as she left the room and Diya came to stand by my desk.

“Your Highness, I need your help,” she began, but I held up a hand.

“Say my name,” I ordered, leaning back in my chair.

Diya flushed a little and glared at me.

“I’m serious.”

I rose from my chair and moved around the desk to perch on the edge of it.

“So am I. Say. My. Name.”

“Go to hell,” she bit out.

I grabbed her by the hand and pulled her to stand between my legs. Taking her hands, I held them against my chest as I looked into her eyes.

“We’re going to be married in two days. You can hardly scream Your Highness when I make you come,” I teased.

Diya pulled her hands away as if stung.

“Stop it, Dheer,” she snapped.

“There you go,” I replied, with a grin. “Now, how can I help you?”

She took a deep breath and shot me one final glare before she began to speak.

“I need to find out who the woman was that Ayush killed. You were right when you said that the police wouldn’t take me seriously if I didn’t even know her name.”

I exhaled sharply.

“I thought you were going to drop it.”

“I can’t,” she replied. “I was just trying to take a nap, but her face haunts me in my sleep. It’s as if I’m equally complicit in her death. I don’t think I can ever sleep in peace again if I don’t do my best to get justice for her.
