I have never knew what it feels like to be a wife, to be someone's better half. The feeling of knowing that your name is attached to someone else.

For me, it was always my career, my dreams. Being a wife was never in that list. When I find out I have feelings for Rudra I was scared that I'd lose our friendship. The bond Rudra and I have is so special and I think it's one of the reasons I never told him about my feelings.

But, now things have changed. I am the wife of the brother of the same guy I have feelings for. I sometimes wonder is life playing games with me?

Why him?

There's billions of people out there yet I have to get married to the one who wasn't just out of my league but a sin as well. He's my sister's ex boyfriend and my bestfriend's brother.

What Mahir and I have is completely contract based. We are married yet we are not. I'm his wife but I'll never get that place in his life, in his heart because that place belongs to my sister.

Which is why I don't deserve to wear it. I don't have the right to keep this.

I glanced at the wooden box that Mahir's grandmother gave it to me. She said it's a family heirloom and her mother in law gave it to her when she got married.

It was beautiful diamond studded ring with emerald stone. It looked antique and really costly. Another reason why I can't wear it.

Giving it to Mahir is the only right thing to do. I Placed the box safely in the drawer before removing my nuptial chain and wrapped it around my ring finger, like I did for the past few weeks.

I glanced at the myself in the mirror covered in jewelleries. It took me fifteen minutes to remove all of it when I heard a knock on my door..

"Bella?"

My head snapped at the voice and I found Rudra at the doorframe.

"Rudra? Why are you standing there?" I gestured him to come inside.

He smiled and nodded, "Bella, there's something I need to tell you."

I frowned, "What is it?"

He looked down fumbling with his phone.

"You know what maybe now's not the good time. Later." He said and immediately turn to leave but I stopped him.

"Mr Rudra Raisinghani, are you nervous?" I asked folding my arms around my chest with a serious look.

He sighed, "I'm not nervous Bella-

He stopped looking at something behind me. He then walk past me to my bed and pick up the book laying there causing my eyes to widened.

"Bella, what is this?" He asked with an amused smile. My face became pale seeing the book in his hand. The same book my sister wrote. I read it and I couldn't believe my own eyes that my sister could wrote something like this. I mean we knew she's a romance writer but this?
