"You're mad? Then take your ass in the other room and calm the fuck down. Because there's never going to be any divorce in this fucking marriage."
"You're mad? Then take your ass in the other room and calm the fuck down. Because there's never going to be any divorce in this fucking marriage."
Keerti's POV:-
The only worry of my mother ever since I've turned twenty five is my marriage. She thinks that I'm missing out all the fun of my life by letting all the eligible bachelors pass away. She just doesn't understand that I have my ambitions to follow and a life I would love to live before settling down in the bond of marriage.
"Do you have anyone in mind for whom you're refusing all the marriage proposals? You can tell me you know. I won't judge..." See this is what I'm talking about. She just doesn't get the picture that I want to grow in my career and not put a full stop to my ambitions by getting married.
"No mom. I'm not seeing anyone and I'm not interested yet, "I plead trying to get her off my back.
"Anu, I'm hungry." Dad says and mom soon runs to kitchen to prepare food. This was my dad's and my tactic to distract mom from giving us lecture and it has always worked.
"Thanks Dad, " I say before concentrating on the project I'm working on.
"Do you have five minutes Bujji?" Dad asks and I look at him confused. Dad wanting to speak to me is rare but very important and unlike mom dad approaches a topic logically instead emotionally making me ponder over both the pros and cons of a topic before asking my decision unlike mom who asks my decision at the spot...
"Yes, Dad." I ask picking up few files from beside making some space for him to sit while he helps me keep the files on the coffee table next to him and sits down beside me comfortably.
"You know we were only twenty seven when we had you, "he starts and I groan out loud.
"Not you too Dad. I've just started my career and I want to fulfill my dreams. I..."
"Who's stopping you Bujji? Do you trust us?" Dad asks and I nod my head without second thought while he smiles lightly.
"Then believe me, he's the best match for you. We like him a lot but the final choice will be yours, " Dad says lifting both his hands up in surrender while I sigh.
"Dad, I've lot to do before getting married. I've to..."
"Enough Keerti. You know what's the problem with your generation? You people get so busy in chasing after your career and money all your life that you forget that money is for leading a luxurious life but not life itself and by the time you set your priorities right, you'll be regretting." He says with disappointment dripping in his voice and I feel guilty for no fault of mine...
"What do you want me to do Dad?"I ask getting straight to the point without beating around the bush.
"I want you to be happy Bujji. I just want you to meet Vinay once and then decide for yourself."
"Only one proposal for this whole year, " I bargain and he sighs.
"Only if you promise to meet him with no bias and judgement. Vinay is my friend Shekhar's son and he's the next hire to his father's business empire..."
"Dad, I don't care about money. All I want is a person who's just like you and mom who understands me and who wouldn't cut my wings for anything in the world." I say my opinion and dad smiles nodding at me.
"And here I thought you were hungry, " mom accuses dad while he smiles and walks towards her with a secret smile on his face making me turn my head. I wouldn't want to scar my eyes looking at their romance now. Would I??
I just hope Vinay is how dad describes him to be. There is nothing wrong in doing something for parent's happiness. Is it?
Blocking all other talks, I start reading files and preparing an apt presentation for my tomorrow's meeting.

Vinay's POV:-
"You called for me?" I ask entering my father's study also known as The Monster's Cave to see him talking on phone.
He nods and gestures me to sit down while he finishes the call. I sit down in front of him and start drumming my fingers on table making my father irritated with the sound.
"I'll call you back, "he says ending the call and looks at me annoyingly.
"That was an important call, "he snaps.
"I had an important work too when you summoned me, " I snap and he sighs before opening a file and pushes it towards me to see the contents.
There were pictures of a beautiful girl smiling from different angles and in various poses.
"She's Keerti, Chandra's daughter. I want you to meet her and impress her for your marriage." He orders making me want to break his head and see which part of his brain is not proper that he doesn't understand a simple sentence that I don't want to marry.
"I don't want to meet her." I yell at my dad to make my point clear.
"Neither of us are getting any younger and I want you to learn taking up your responsibility serious by marrying her."
"Why do you hate me so much?" I ask him while he sighs and walks off the room without answering my question but warning me of the consequences if I don't meet Keerti. I don't know why I still bother talking or listening to him when I know that my opinion doesn't matters.
He knows that marriage is a very big responsibility and without earning, I can't take care of my family and so he's pestering me to marry so that I'll accept his offer to step into the CEO position while he can retire and travel around the world with Mom. But, what he doesn't know is that my hate for working in his office is bigger than marrying a random stranger.
If meeting her will pull me off the hook then I can always give a try to it. If I cannot reject her than may be I'll make her reject me. Anyways which girl would want to marry a guy who doesn't want to work and earn for his family??
Get ready Keerti Reddy, I'll make you say NO to this proposal by yourself so that I can enjoy my bachelorhood on my terms and conditions...
What is LIFE? "They say it's from B to D. From Birth to Death, But what's between B & D It's C- a choice that has to be made not between good and bad but between bad and worse."
Her fiance and her best friend worked together and set her up. She lost everything and died in the street. However, she was reborn. The moment she opened her eyes, her husband was trying to strangle her. Luckily, she survived that. She signed the divorce agreement without hesitation and was ready for her miserable life. To her surprise, her mother in this life left her a great deal of money. She turned the tables and avenged herself. Everything went well in her career and love when her ex-husband came to her.
I just got my billionaire husband to sign our divorce papers. He thinks it's another business document. Our marriage was a business transaction. I was his secretary by day, his invisible wife by night. He got a CEO title and a rebellion against his mother; I got the money to save mine. The only rule? Don't fall in love. I broke it. He didn't. So I'm cashing out. Thirty days from now, I'm gone. But now he's noticing me. Touching me. Claiming me. The same man who flaunts his mistresses is suddenly burning down a nightclub because another man insulted me. He says he'll never let me go. But he has no idea I'm already halfway out the door. How far will a billionaire go to keep a wife he never wanted until she tried to leave?
Nicole had entered marriage with Walter, a man who never returned her feelings, bound to him through an arrangement made by their families rather than by choice. Even so, she had held onto the quiet belief that time might soften his heart and that one day he would learn to love her. However, that day never came. Instead, he treated her with constant contempt, tearing her down with cruel words and dismissing her as fat and manipulative whenever it suited him. After two years of a cold and distant marriage, Walter demanded a divorce, delivering his decision in the most degrading manner he could manage. Stripped of her dignity and exhausted by the humiliation, Nicole agreed to her friend Brenda's plan to make him see what he had lost. The idea was simple but daring. She would use another man to prove that the woman Walter had mocked and insulted could still be desired by someone else. All they had to do was hire a gigolo. Patrick had endured one romantic disappointment after another. Every woman he had been involved with had been drawn not to him, but to his wealth. As one of the heirs to a powerful and influential family, he had long accepted that this pattern was almost unavoidable. What Patrick wanted was far more difficult to find. He longed to fall in love with a woman who cared for him as a person, not for the name he carried or the fortune attached to it. One night, while he was at a bar, an attractive stranger approached him. Because of his appearance and composed demeanor, she mistook him for a gigolo. She made an unconventional proposal, one that immediately caught his interest and proved impossible for him to refuse.
Since she was ten, Noreen had been by Caiden's side, watching him rise from a young boy into a respected CEO. After two years of marriage, though, his visits home grew rare. Gossip among the wealthy said he despised her. Even his beloved mocked her hopes, and his circle treated her with scorn. People forgot about her decade of loyalty. She clung to memories and became a figure of ridicule, worn out from trying. They thought he'd won his freedom, but he dropped to his knees and begged, "Noreen, you're the only one I love." Leaving behind the divorce papers, she walked away.
Serena Vance, an unloved wife, clutched a custom-made red velvet cake to her chest, enduring the cold rain outside an exclusive Upper East Side club. She hoped this small gesture for her husband, Julian, would bridge the growing chasm between them on their third anniversary. But as she neared the VIP suite, her world shattered. Julian's cold, detached voice sliced through the laughter, revealing he considered her nothing more than a "signature on a piece of paper" for a trust fund, mocking her changed appearance and respecting only another woman, Elena. The indifference in his tone was a physical blow, a brutal severance, not heartbreak. She gently placed the forgotten cake on the floor, leaving her wedding ring and a diamond necklace as she prepared to abandon a marriage built on lies. Her old life, once a prison of quiet suffering and constant humiliation, now lay in ruins around her. Three years of trying to be seen, to be loved, were erased by a few cruel words. Why had she clung to a man who saw her as a clause in a will, a "creature," not a wife? The shame and rage hardened her heart, freezing her tears. Returning to an empty penthouse, she packed a single battered suitcase, leaving behind every symbol of her failed marriage. With a burner phone, she dialed a number she hadn't touched in a decade, whispering, "Godfather, I'm ready to come home."
The roasted lamb was cold, a reflection of her marriage. On their third anniversary, Evelyn Vance waited alone in her Manhattan penthouse. Then her phone buzzed: Alexander, her husband, had been spotted leaving the hospital, holding his childhood sweetheart Scarlett Sharp's hand. Alexander arrived hours later, dismissing Evelyn's quiet complaint with a cold reminder: she was Mrs. Vance, not a victim. Her mother's demands reinforced this role, making Evelyn, a brilliant mind, feel like a ghost. A dangerous indifference replaced betrayal. The debt was paid; now, it was her turn. She drafted a divorce settlement, waiving everything. As Alexander's tender voice drifted from his study, speaking to Scarlett, Evelyn placed her wedding ring on his pillow, moved to the guest suite, and locked the door. The dull wife was gone; the Oracle was back.
