Chapter 1.

Vani Pov :-.

"I am so happy that you came back mrityunjay"  I said, linking my arms to his neck, smiling.

Yes, I am happy today and am going to tell him about my pregnancy. I was so nervous when I missed my periods a month ago, being pregnant didn't even cross my mind but then I felt nauseous and his personal doctor asked me to do the test. I was nervous and my emotions were all over the place but when I saw those pink lines on that test kit. I had tears in my eyes.

It took me a while to get hold on my emotions and thinking about mrityunjay, i know he will be happy how can he not be, when he always treats me with respect and love. 

 

Yes love, even though that was not the deal I signed with him but still it happens between us and now after four months being with him I am in love with him. I signed my fate to him four months ago thinking the worst but he gave me the world,every time his words of love and respect  brought tears to my eyes. 

He broke every single wall I have built around my heart and today my heart belongs to him only. And finally,  I will tell him about our baby, the small little gift we created together.

"Vanya….we need to talk" he murmured looking in my eyes but today his eyes were not sparkling like they usually do, today they look resigned and maybe sad.

"What happened darling…." I asked him.

He touched my face with his forefinger and sighed "vanya...you know what we had was special, you were special, really…." He was saying and my eyes went to his lips, the way they moved while he spoke. I smiled thinking that, and his manly voice sent sparks through my heart.

"Are you listening vanya…' 

"Am sorry I was lost for a moment…"

He sighed again creating a little distance between us "it's over between us vanya.." he said. 

And it took me a moment to understand what he was saying, over!  I was feeling numb suddenly, everything had just frozen inside me. "Over..!!!" I whispered looking at him blankly.

He rubbed his forehead with his forefinger and thumb and sighed "yes… over. Here this is for you" 

He was holding a velvet box in his hand and when I didn't touch it he opened it for me "this is your token of appreciation from my side. Hope you like this" 

I looked at the sparkling diamond necklace in the case, as if reality has sucked me with full force, looking at the necklace with my teary eyes blurred my vision, I closed my eyes to stop the tears but it was not possible, I gulped down painfully and then wiped my tears gaining the strength I have left. 

I looked upward in his eyes "so now you want to finish what we have….forever" 

"Yes. I mean it's been four  months now vanya, and I think it's better if we finish this arrangement but if you ever need anything, I am just a phone call away"

I Chuckled hearing this " why? am I nothing to you, you said I am yours and you will care for me…." I asked him, my heart was beating so fast that I am sure even he can hear it.

"Well….i am getting married soon and I think my wife deserves my loyalty.." he answered looking in my eyes.

I was shocked hearing that "marriage...but you said that marriage is not for you.."

"Yes, but now I found a good match.." he was saying but stopped and shook his head "look vanya..I liked you and always respected your practicality"

Unconsciously my hand went to my stomach and I closed my eyes "I thought you love me…" I whispered silently.

"Love.." he snarled, his upper lip moving upward in anger like it always does, his brows jerked together and his eyes were shooting daggers towards me "don't. Don't you dare behave like this now, you always knew what you signed for vanya, you were always fine with it and today suddenly you are talking about love ...." 

Yes. I knew what I signed up for four months ago. I knew that it was a business deal but the way he treats me I thought that god has given me my knight in the shining armour, how stupid I was, knights happen in stories, prince charming comes in fairy tales but in reality this life is full of vultures and demons. I would have never agreed to being his mistress if I was not so desperate for money. But I was so desperate.

"I am pregnant," I said silently, not even daring to look into his eyes.

"What did you say.." he asked in a sharp voice, but when I didn't speak he jerked my hand "speak again" he asked angrily.

"Do you really think it's gonna work vanya...I thought you would never play these cheap tricks vanya. Oh ! How wrong I was I forgot that a whore remains a whore no matter how much respect you give her" he said, jerking my hand away in anger and I gasped hearing his words.

"You think you can trap me by being pregnant, what did you think that I will marry you and make you my wife, let me tell you one thing, vanya darling. I. Will. Not. Be trapped. So stop lying to me" he yelled and I jumped at his voice.

"Am ...am not lying mrityunjay" I said and he picked the vase from the table and threw it on the floor with full force which broke into many tiny pieces. I jumped seeing him this angry "mrityunjay…"

"Shut up….just shut your mouth. Tell me since when you were planning this"  he spatted gripping my hand tightly and I closed my In pain.

"We will solve this thing right now" he said and started moving towards the elevator.

My eyes widened hearing that, I was looking at his face in horror "what do you mean.." I asked him, scared.

"What I mean is you are getting rid of that thing right now" he yelled.

I stopped breathing for a second..no. no. I can't. This is my baby. I want this baby. "Mritunjay please ….you don't mean that .."

"I mean every single thing I said vanya...you are aborting this fetus right now.." he said gripping my hand even more tightly am sure it will swell tomorrow.

"No...leave me mrityunjay" I begged him in horror, how the most beautiful man I know turned this ugly.
