Hellloooo........here's to all you lovely people who supports me.... .thank you thank you thank you........

Alishba pov:

I was out of words. I didn't know how to answer. Yes what I feel towards him his strong, very strong. But, I don't think I'm at the stage where I say it back. So I did the only thing I thought was suitable. I looked down and sighed.

"It's okay, I know it's too early. You don't have to say. I understand." He kissed my forehead and step back. Everybody cheered making my cheeks go crimson.

The event after that was a blur. We talked laughed and enjoyed. But I kept in my mind to ask Ryan about before. I felt like there's something big he is hiding. But I hope its not something I would hate. It was almost midnight now and everyone was leaving.

I hugged papa and kissed his cheek. "Thank you papa, it was beautiful." He kissed my cheek and smiled. "Anything for my baby. Go and rest. It must have been tiring day for you. I love you." I beamed and stepped back. "I love you too good night." With that I turned towards my bed.

Entering my room I heard the shower running. I made my towards closet picking up my night dress and waiting for Ryan to come out. He was taking far too long. I got up and went to the door. I prepared to knock but the door opened before I could knock. My hand was in mid air as my eyes widen along with Ryan's. I retreated my hand quickly and stepped back. But my eyes couldn't help but focus on him. He was just in towel. I flushed seeing him. He just smirked looking me up and down.

He walked closer to me making me match one back. Without noticing he pulled me towards him and I crashed against his chest. He was smiling down at me, his eyes showing different emotions, love and affection being the prominent ones. Gently stroking my cheek he looked into my eyes. "I love you." My heart swelled with giddiness.

"You told me that." I laughed pushing him a little. But he just tightened his hold. "And I'll just keep saying it until you believe it." "But I believe you." He gave me a half smile and stepped back. I instantly missed his warmth and safety. "Change and come to me." He went into closet leaving me there. i breathed out and went into the bathroom. After quickly showering and changing I made my way to bed. Ryan was already on bed working on his laptop. This is the perfect time to ask him.

I got in bed and waited for him to finish. But he just looked at me smiled and closed his laptop putting it on the table. he turned towards me and pulled me closer. His face suddenly turned blank. "I presume you have questions." I modded and bit my lip. he sighed and pulled me towards him some more. "I told you I will tell you everything once you trust me fully, belle. I don't wanna loose you. All I can tell you is that it was my pas. And I have nothing to with it." I looked him frowning. What is he hiding?

"what is it that your hiding and can't tell me now? Please tell me. I trust you." he looked away. "Please belle, don't make it hard on me." I pulled back. " why don't you just tell me and get it over with." he sighed frustratedly and stood up.

"I don't want to ruin anything. We are just starting and I don't want to loose you. I need your full trust." I got up as well and crossed my arms. "Leave that on me. You either tell me or not tell me." He stood there silently and before I knew it he was kissing me. The kiss was passionate, nothing like before. This kiss meant promises. I soon gave in and we both battled for dominance. Soon we were both lost.

A few minutes later we pulled apart to take breath. "In case if you decide to leave me." I pulled away. "Stop saying like you committed a murder or something. Just tell me." He pulled a hand through his hair and took my hand guiding me to bed. He got on it pulling me between his legs, facing each other.

"Before I tell you anything just remember it was my past and it had nothing to do with me now. I love you and only you." His gaze was intense locking me in his depth. I nodded and pecked his lips to assure him.

"You know when uncle went away with your mother, mum was very depressed. She was pregnant with a baby. My another sibling. I was away to study. I wish I was there to save her. Things would've been different." His head was leaning on the headboard as he stared at the ceiling. "She was home alone. Ishra was at her school. She slipped and fell. No one was there to save her. No one. She bleed to death along with my sibling. I couldn't save her." My heart tightened as a lone tear fell from his eyes. I raised my hand and wiped off his tear. He looked me and sniffed. "It wasn't your fault." I assured him. He looked like a lost boy and at that moment i couldn't bear it. I hugged him.

He embraced me back tightly. Feeling wetness on my shirt I knew he was still crying. I rubbed my hand on his back in soothing motion. After a few minutes he stopped crying and leaned back. I smiled sadly and wiped his tears. He however decided to continue. "When I found out I was devastated. I didn't knew what to do. Father left us after two months of mum death. He used to blame us. I just got on that. I thought he was right. I-" he stopped and looked away, "I got into bad things. I started drinking. I became a bad person. Grandpa and Ishra tried to get me back but I wouldn't budge. That's when I found her." He looked me and for a moment I saw regret and guilt but it was replaced but the sadness. I wanted to tell him to stop. But I had to know In order to trust him.

"She was perfect. Well, at that time. She took a interest in me. The more I push her the more she grew on me. She changed me. She made the person I was before my mother's death. I got back into business. I was successful. I liked her or loved maybe. We-we got married." My breath stopped in my throat. He was married before. He loved her.

Ryan was looking away. "We were happy. I thought she felt the same about me but the truth was something else. She was after my money. This empire. Although it was not fully mine. It's still not. But I'm​ also a heir along with Afan. We share fifty fifty. Anyway, all along She wanted this not me." I frowned.

"I don't know for how long but she was seeing someone else. She was mughal. I loved her despite her name. I didn't care but turned out she was looking for the wealth. I caught her red-handed with that man. That day we divorced and she married that man a few weeks later." I was listening to him but my focus was on the silhouette. "Ryan?" He looked up to me. His eyes held storm and emotions.

"But who was back there aat the beach with you?" His expression turned to blank. "My ex wife." I frowned. "What did she want now?" I couldn't help but ask. "That's not for you to worry. She won't disturb us."

"What's her name?"

"Rimsha." My eyes widen in realization.
