Today was the day of the opening ceremony of the resort. It's currently eight in the morning and we arrived at Mr Gonzalez's company for the interview. It was more like a press conference.

The lounge was filled with reporters who were setting up the cameras and lights. It's going to be broadcast live on every international channel.

The interview had three rounds. Two rounds are already finished which Mahir and Mr Gonzalez did together and Veronica joined them for the second interview. Now, it's my turn and to my bad luck I was interviewing together with the last woman I wanna be at the moment.

"Ma'am, everything is ready."

I nodded at the female staff and followed them to the set up they were getting ready while I was in the waiting room. I wore a light yellow linen saree that according to me fits the occasion perfectly. I flipped back my hair revealing my small gold hoop earrings. I didn't wear much jewelry because I already had my wedding chain around my neck.

I caught Veronica walking towards the set up. She was wearing a red formal puff sleeve dress. Her hair was down and she had bold red lipstick on her heart shaped lips. We looked at each other giving a fake smile. One must not tell what's happening behind these smiles.

The interview started and we answered all the questions related to the project on how we both came into mutual understanding to work together. Surprisingly, Veronica was really professional and for a second I felt everything was normal and she was not some obsessed ex girlfriend who's out for my husband.

But, I know her better than that. Veronica Oberoi was a bitch but I didn't know she would go to this length to get my husband. This time she really went too far.

It happened the next day we came from the dinner. I don't know how she knew or where does she get those papers but now everyone knows about the contract signed between Mahir and I. Even though it's not confirmed if it's her or not but I'm damn sure she's involved in it.

Somehow Mahir and his father took down the sites where the contract papers were leaked but still people are talking and I'm not surprised that half of the reporters are here to know whether the rumours were true or not.

"Mrs Raisinghani what are you going to say on the news going viral on the internet regarding your marriage. Is it true that you both had a contract wedding?" The interviewee asked and I sighed when every reporters attention suddenly shifted to me.

I glanced at Veronica who just looked at me smugly. Can I just punch this bitch on the face?

"I'm not sure what's going on but these rumours are absolutely not true. There's no replacement or any contract wedding. It's an arranged marriage with the blessings of both of our families." I said calmly. Every word I'd say will be noted so I need to act on my natural instinct.
