Wow now this was some Chapter, brilliantly crafted!Absolutely LOVED everything about the chapter, the way Arnav came to know about the truth of Khushi's situation, the way he insisted on driving her home despite being mad at her, the way he insisted on inspecting her place and his resolve to reacquaint himself with Kashev because he is not going to let go of Khushi this time ("His Khushi" reference in the chapter was Heat warming).
Khushi did not want Arnav to know the full truth about her situation and her struggles but she forgot about the fact that Arnav's a lawyer and lawyers can be quite perceptive. Somewhere along the lines Arnav realized that he has more influence on Khushi as her Boss than as someone who still loves her, hence the switch to ASR mode so he could implement his plan of helping her out. The way he took charge of Kashev's treatment and the way he threatened her to accept his help brought back memories of ASR from IPK ( the whole eviction notice) except this ASR is justified because he is only trying to make Khushi accept his help whereas the ASR in the show was not!
If Khushi was a fool in the past, she still can't see the fact that he is still inlove with her and he won't let go off her that easily specially now that he knows the whole truth. Khushi still seems to believe that ASR's happiness lies in having children of his own and she is still not capable of giving that to him. Her confidence and self esteem is so low and understandably so that she doesn't think she will be able to make him happy and ofcourse her pride doesn't allow her to accept his help willingly, she is scared of her own fragile heart as well. And I couldn't love her more! Which is why I love the way you are portraying both Arnav and Khushi here!
OK I am done rambling I think ;), this chapter would definitely have to be my favourite so far! Can't wait to see what you have in store or rather what ASR has in store for Khushi next!
