Subah ke 9 baje…
Riya ek luxury car me baithi thi — uska dil abhi bhi kal wali baat se heavy tha.
"Mrs. Malhotra…" driver ne respect se bola.
Yeh sunke Riya thodi awkward ho gayi.
"Main abhi bhi Riya hi hoon…" usne dheere se kaha.
Car dheere dheere ek huge gate ke saamne ruk gayi…
Gate khula… aur Riya ki aankhen shock se wide ho gayi.
👉 Malhotra Mansion
Itna bada ghar… usne sirf movies me dekha tha.
"Yeh… sach me mera ghar hai ab?" usne khud se pucha.
Car andar gayi… fountains, garden, guards — sab kuch royal lag raha tha.
Driver ne door khola.
"Welcome home, ma'am."
Riya dheere se bahar aayi…
Tabhi ek cold voice peeche se aayi—
"Tum late ho."
Riya ne mudkar dekha…
👉 Arjun khada tha — black suit me, same cold expression.
"Main… time par hi aayi hoon," Riya ne thoda confidence se bola.
Arjun uske paas aaya… aankhon me wahi dominance.
"Yahan sab kuch mere time par hota hai."
Riya chup ho gayi.
Tabhi ek middle-aged lady aayi…
"Sir, breakfast ready hai."
Arjun ne sir hila diya… phir Riya ki taraf dekha—
"Aaj se tumhari training start hogi."
"Training?" Riya confused ho gayi.
"Mrs. Malhotra banne ki training," Arjun ne calmly bola.
Riya ka dimaag ghoom gaya.
"Tumhe behave, dress aur baat karna seekhna hoga… high society ke hisaab se."
"Main koi project nahi hoon," Riya ne thoda gusse me kaha.
Arjun thoda paas aaya…
Itna paas ki Riya ki saanse ruk gayi.
"Tum meri wife ho… aur meri reputation bhi."
Room me silence chha gaya.
Tabhi stairs se ek aur ladki niche aayi…
Stylish… confident… aur uski aankhon me jealousy thi.
👉 "So… yeh hai tumhari new wife?"
Riya shock ho gayi.
"Arjun… tum itni jaldi move on kar gaye?" us ladki ne sarcastically kaha.
Riya ne Arjun ki taraf dekha…
"Yeh kaun hai…?"
Arjun ka face aur bhi cold ho gaya…
"Meet my ex… Natasha."
🔥 Cliffhanger:
👉 Natasha kya Riya ki life hell bana degi?
👉 Arjun ka past kya secret chhupa raha hai?
