Trust me.

"Riya's point of view,"

"Riya Why are you staying quiet? Please respond to my question."

I'm not sure what I should say to Harsh, who is sitting in front of me. How can I inform him about the condition Rachit has imposed on me in exchange for his blood? I might even tell Harsh about the first condition, but how can I tell him about the second condition he's put in front of me?

However, this moron detective informed Harsh that I had gone to a hotel room to meet Rachit while inebriated? Even when I walked out of that hotel room, I was in dire straits. Will Harsh believe me if I tell him the truth? Will he believe me if I tell him that nothing like this happened between us in the hotel's locked room that night?

At any cost, I don't want to lose him again. However, I'm concerned that if I tell Harsh about the deal I signed with Rachit, he'll abandon me.

"Riya, you're making me angry now. I've been pleading with you to tell me the truth and not keep anything from me, but you refuse to listen to me."

"Do not become enraged; anger is harmful to your health." I was worried when I saw his face turn red with rage; I'm not sure when or how he became so enraged. He always approaches every situation with a calm demeanor, so I'm not sure why he gets so fired up just hearing the word "Rachit."

"Riya, all I want to hear right now is the truth; aside from that, I don't have to say anything else to you." Hearing his tone, I knew if I didn't tell him the whole truth right now, he'd go insane with rage.

"Okay, fine," I murmured as I took a long breath.

"Yes, please tell me." He quickly placed the pillow on the bed on his lap and remarked.

"Along with you, I have to provide all the information to this detective and your P.A too?"

I've been becoming furious with that detective since I found out he'd been spying on me for the past several days, and since then I've been recalling all of my recent activities.

Get involved in business endeavors with Rachit.

In memory of Harsh, I drank all night and went to the hospital late at night for sleeping pills. Every day, new men leave me inebriated till I return to my hotel room. Rachit approaches me in the hospital's garden for a kiss. Will the detective in front of me have witnessed all of this firsthand?

Oh, god, I do not know what he thinks of my character. He doesn't see me through the eyes of a good girl. Listening to his tone as he shared details about me with Harsh, I got the distinct impression that he did not exalt me as a girl. But, seeing Harsh's reaction after hearing this detective, I can't believe he has heard nothing negative about me from anyone, although I've done so much wrong with him in the past.

"Riya, they've both left the room; now tell me you've been sitting for so long, building up so much tension." Harsh took my hand in his and held it there.

"Will you judge me once I tell you the whole truth, Harsh? You'll cease talking to me. And you will not accept me." I'm trying my hardest not to cry; I don't want to lose Harsh at any cost right now, but if he hates me now that he knows the truth, I don't know what I'll do.

"Riya, please stop crying.

No, I will not judge you and will not leave you. I'm just curious about how much trouble you've gone through to save my life." I was persuaded that if I looked into the depths of his eyes, he would do nothing to me I was terrified of.

"Harsh, instead of giving his blood, Rachit has imposed two conditions on me. The first is that he wants to be a 50% partner in my project. And then there was the other... ,"

I'm not sure how I'm going to tell him what the second condition was.

"What are you thinking of now, Riya? Tell me why he invited you to the hotel room to meet him." Harsh is becoming increasingly enraged without knowing the truth, and when he learns the truth, I am unsure what he will do in wrath.

"Harsh, please calm down." By caressing the backside of his palm, I attempted to calm his rage.

"Last time I asked you why he invited you to meet him in the hotel room, Riya." He remarked this as he took my hand off of the top of his.

"Rachit wanted me to return to his life, so he invited me to come to that hotel room, where we could be linked to me in physical way."

"And , you went to his hotel room on his command? " He rubbed his brow in rage.

"Yes, he would have refused to give blood if I hadn't gone to his hotel room that night. To preserve your life, I did what I thought was right."

"I'm speechless. Riya, you spent the entire night in his room." Harsh asked in a shocked way.

"He was determined to give blood only when i met his conditios , but I didn't have a choice; I'd agreed to his terms. His second requirement was that I stay with him for one night..."

"Riya put a stop to it. I don't know what more to say; it would have been better to save my life in this way than to let me die.

You do not know how enraged I am at the moment. You've bonded with him...

Riya, I am also a human being with feelings. Just because I don't express them doesn't mean I don't have jealousy, possessiveness, or insecurities. How difficult has it been for me to heal previous wounds?"

"Harsh, you're mistaken; I must have gone to meet him, but nothing transpired between us this time, as you believe." I wanted to clear up his mistake, but given his rage, I'm not sure he'll believe me at this point.

"Riya, why did you go to meet him?"

"What else could I do? Would you have left me in the hospital to die like this if you were in my shoes? Would you not have sworn to that condition to preserve my life?" It was becoming increasingly difficult for me to keep my tears at bay. After all, how much longer should I pretend to be strong when I'm completely broken on the inside? I've squandered my entire life in the quest for unfulfilled desires. Now that I have found my Harsh after losing everything, he is looking at me with suspicious eyes as well.

"Riya, please tell me whether you still love him."

"Harsh enough. How many times should I tell you I don't love him? That night, too, I was inebriated, and all I could think about was you.

Rachit has admitted that he made a mistake, so he has ended the second part of our contract.

If you don't trust me, look at this contract document." I took a piece of paper from my bag and placed it in his hand.

"Riya, I believe in you, but why did you put your reputation on the line to save my life?"

"Because I care about you. In Love and War, everything is equal."

"But how could you stop yourself despite being so close to Rachit, even if you were inebriated? Are you devoid of sentiments towards him?"

"Harsh, why don't you get what I'm saying? When my heart beats for you, how can I love someone else? I don't have any proof of my affection, and I don't have a certificate proving my clean reputation. Right now,

I can move away from your gaze. if you want to."

"Riya, there isn't anything like that. I'm sorry I became enraged with you. But every time I hear Rachit's name, I'm transported back in time."

"Harsh, I'd like to ask you a question."

"Of course,"

"Are you still in love with me?"

"Of course, why do you believe love fades away so quickly?" He said this as he drew me closer to him.

"Can't we both just forget about the past and start over?" I inquired, my head buried in his chest.

"Sure, we will resume our joyful lives shortly, but first, we must settle some old debts. And they must return the things that have been deceitfully taken from you." He stated it as he stroked my shoulders.
