Ishita Mehra is a no-nonsense multimillionaire businesswoman running a billion-dollar empire laid down by her great-grandfather and big investors in different firms under Mehra Groups. She made herself deserving by working hard for her dreams but no...
Stretching a little bit, I sit up on the bed with my eyes partially closed and found myself in a pile of clothes. Lifting my eyelids, I removed a few clothes from me, Ishita was digging inside the cupboard and trying out dresses. "Where are you going?" asked her I sit up straight. She checked me out from the corner of her eyes, "Court... today is my testimony..." rubbing my eyes I looked up and down at her.
"But your sick and it's not necessary to go, or is it?" she came out in a marron dress with a lot of revealing cleavage. "I can't push it any further as it will be a pain in my ass. As far as it concerns my health I'm completely fine." She checks herself in the mirror and turns to ask my opinion, "Is it fine? Like I want to wear something bossy yet slutty enough to distract the opposition attorney." I raised my eyebrows, "Is that your strategy?" she shrugged, "I don't know but that's the only way I know for now to keep myself away from the case because I can't afford to lose my impression in the market before my magazine publicizing." I hummed in response and uttered, "Well that's a shame because it's the weekend and I thought to spend it together..."
She smiled lowering her head and wearing her hoop earring, "Sounds intriguing... after I get my father's ass in jail we will continue from where we left". I smirked and rested my head back. She picked up her handbag and pecked at my lips before leaving, "Bye... enjoy your weekend..." she waved closing the door, I waved her back and stretched in bed. I tried to sleep but something felt uneasy. Maybe I don't have the habit of sleeping over my time limit, but how can Ishita do that? Scrolling through my phone I got an alarming message from Yash. "Veronica's car heading inside your mansion."
Jumping down from the bed I rushed downstairs in my flip-flop and ordered the guards to close the main door and block the entrance for any visitors. Yash rushed inside from the main door we both froze looking at each other. He looked to his right and I did in the same direction. Veronica was standing in a pencil dress hugging her hourglass body and wearing red bottom heels. Bodyguards were standing behind her gripping her arms and seeking my permission. I wanted to order them to throw her out of my house but before that, I want to know why she was there. Veronica OOTD-

"Ah... there stood my handsome hunk." She commented and the guards left her arms stepping back. I gestured for them to leave, "What are you doing here?". She faked a gasp, "Oh my god... I thought I'm always welcomed and it would make you happy that I came back." Mom and Aditya walked down to the hall, Mom almost had a heart attack she stormed at her, "Why the hell are you here? Is there anything else left for you to ruin? Get out... Security... How many times I need to say this you all I don't like stray dogs in my house. Pull her out..." I gripped her arms, "Mom... calm down...". She glared at me.
"Aww... don't raise your blood pressure for me Nayantara Aunty. You might die..." Veronica cooed her. I stepped in between, "If you're here to make a scene please take your tv serial drama out of my house and do this somewhere people will love to see." She narrowed her eyes at me, "Really Armaan... you want me out of here when just a few years ago you were the one who wanted me to stay by your side. What happened to your love? Did it vanish just because now you have a slutty mistress? Does that girl know that you are still married to me?"
My brows snapped together Mom looked at me with mixed emotions. I was a bit confused by what she meant, "What do you mean by married to you? We never got married in the first place." She pouted sadly, "Aww... you forgot everything so easily. Don't worry I have something to refresh your memory." She pulled out a black folder with documents from her purse.
I raised my brows at her she passed me a marriage certificate, "Holy shit..." Aditya gasped peeping down at the legal document having my signatures on it. Mom snatched the document from my hand and examined it, looking up at Veronica I knew I screwed up. "Care to explain this shit..." Mom fumed in anger. They all looked at me with questionable eyes, I explained looking down at the floor, "This is the marriage certificate we got when... we both were in college and you guys were against this marriage. I decided to get married in court but later that day Dad called me informing me about approval for the marriage. Then we got engaged and I forgot to collect the marriage certificate until now..."
Mom stumbled backward Aditya gripped her shoulder's stabling her. Veronica smirked and stood next to me, "Which means our marriage is still valid as we never divorced." Now I know what she means. Yash uttered lost in his mind, "If this marriage is legal then she's the first wife, not Ishita which means she has the thirty percent stake of Goel Industries and Armaan's assets. But if we proved that they divorced then she will mention that she never got alimony from Goel Family... That's insane." my body shook vigorously in rage.
I glared at Veronica and gripped her neck, she choked for breath "Wasn't it enough to ruin my life? I fucking loved you but you were playing all these fucking games. Don't you think I will let you win this time because last time I loved you? But now every cell of my body hates you. You wanna drag this to the public do it I will fire you with so many counter suits that you won't see the outside of a courtroom for years." Yash removed my hand from her neck, "If she has walked inside the hell then let her burn for herself..."
Veronica coughed followed by her cackle, "Do you think I didn't think about it? Of course, I did. Media is standing just outside your main gate I will show them how much you hurt me for loving you." She faked a sad pout and chuckled. Mom raised her voice, "What will it take to get rid of you forever?" Veronica narrowed her eyes at her, "Mother-in-law... don't be like that... don't you know how much it cost to get rid of me."
Yash asked her, "What do you want Veronica?" she smirked and gazed at me. "Whatever I deserve to get... either Armaan or half of his assets including the house as he is the member of the Goel Family and whatever this family offers to the first wife of their middle child." They all gasped looking at each other. Aditya scrunched his head and rushed towards me, taking the marriage certificate from my hand he tore it into pieces. "See... it was so simple we got rid of you that cost not even a cent..." I looked up and down at him.
Veronica laughed once, "Do you think I'm so broke that I can't afford to have a copy of the document?". I left a sigh and looked at him, "Even if we burned all the paper in the world still the marriage registrar will have a soft copy." Yash slapped his forehead and sit next to Nayantara, "Now she has the house as well... thank god I never promised my girlfriend such crazy thing." Mom looked up and down at him, "Get up... I said get up." He bowed low and stood up. We stood there lost in our minds not understanding whatever happened just now.
In the evening, Ishita walked inside and kind of crawled inside exhausted with a bag and heels in her hand. Maids helped get the things from her hand. She didn't notice us till she sniffed some food and turned to get it from the dining table but froze looking at each other. Mom stood up and walked toward her, "Are you feeling, okay?".
