First of all, a BIG BIG BIG apology from myself, I know it's been a long time since I updated, first my Nani got ill, then I had all these university assignments to get done, then I was admitted into hospital for 5 days after having an asthma attack, and then I had more assignments to get done, so it's been pretty hectic 😆 But here I am, finally, back with another chapter which I hope you all enjoy 😳 I am officially changing the SS to FF 🥳 Haha, I hope it pleases you all 😆 And since people keep asking to be sent PMs I am going to make a PM list on the first page, so if you want your name added to it, let me know and I will add you 😃 I shall hopefully get round to updating Temptations and Beauty and The Geek also. Thanks to all who commented on the last chapter. Here's the next chapter:

A persistent knock on the door aroused him from his musings and he called 'Come in'. His personal secretary slipped into the room, a file clasped between her fingers.

'Ah, Vrinda, take a seat,' he said, gesturing towards a seat opposite his desk with a slight movement of his hand. She gave a faint smile and walked up to the desk, placing the file silently in front of him. His eyes momentarily flicked to the file before he looked back at Vrinda. 'Any luck?' he asked her anxiously.

'Yes sir, whatever I could find is all in the file,' she started, 'Her full name is Heer Mann,' she paused before continuing. 'Her mother died in an accident when she was a child, and her father died a few years ago from cancer. As far I know she has no siblings and lives alone in her apartment.'

Prem sighed, knowing that it was not right in the slightest to be probing into Heer's life, but it was necessary in deciding what action on his part was needed to ensure her happiness. Knowing that Heer lived alone paved the way in contemplating his next move.

When it came to delving out details about an individual, Vrinda was one of a kind, one of the reasons why she was a trusted and valued worker of his company. Prem had always relied on her wise skills to shed light on future clients whenever he was in the middle of striking an important deal.

'What does she do?' he asked.

'She is an interior designer and has been embellishing homes, halls and wedding banquets across the world. There are some newspapers in the file which show some of her past projects,' said Vrinda. Unknowingly a small smiled tugged at the corners of Prem's lips. It seemed they had more in common than he had initially thought. Whilst he created the shell, she shaped the ornament within.

'Sir...If you do not mind me asking...is this lady a client? I mean, I haven't heard of her up until now, so I was just wondering...?' Vrinda asked and he flashed a brief smile.

'Something like that...you will all find out soon enough, I assure you,' he answered.

Vrinda nodded and having told him essentially everything, she turned to leave his office, but he called her name to stop her.

'Ur...Vrinda, wait...congratulations on your wedding. I'm extremely sorry I could not make it, but I do hope you got my gift,' he offered genuinely. Vrinda smiled and gave a nod.

'I did Sir, and it was very kind of you, thank you,' she said. Prem shrugged it off, shaking his head modestly.

'Do convey my regards to your husband,' Prem said and she nodded in affirmative, receiving a small 'thank you' before silently leaving his office.

After what he had been informed of, Prem was now one hundred percent determined to have his own way. Heer would simply have no choice but to abide by his wish.

Heer stood in front of her mirror with wide eyes, her fingers gently splaying across the distended hardness of her abdomen. As her eyes scanned over the small, but very definite bump, it made it even more real that there was a tiny life inside of her. Tears spilled recklessly down her cheek. Regardless of the fact that her pregnancy had been unplanned, it was still her baby, a part of her, and she was powerless to love it. With every passing moment, as the baby grew, Heer could feel her attachment and love towards the baby also growing.

Hearing the bell ring, Heer fixed her shirt back over her stomach and took herself to the window to steal a glance at her visitor. She heaved a sigh as she saw Prem standing on the doorstep. It was strange how suddenly she was finding it extremely hard to control the fluttering of her nerves. Why was it that his presence made her enormously self-conscious? She ambled to the door and opened it to greet him briskly. As always, he looked striking in a casual black suit, charisma exuding from all over. His perfectly chiselled features tempted her to no end. Heer chose to blame her hormones for her unashamed ogling.

'Hello Heer,' he said, grinning at her, an amused glint in his eyes. He took a step forward, his tall frame filling the doorway. She frowned as the look in his eye told her that he was up to something. She wondered whether it was the right time to start dreading his emergence. Casting a fleeting glance in his direction, she mumbled a greeting before turning away and walking back into her home. Prem followed behind like her shadow. Heer was completely oblivious to the two other beings that nonchalantly entered her home alongside Prem.

She went to sit in the living room, attempting to ignore Prem's presence. Aware of him watching her with a smirk, she turned her attention to a magazine lying on the coffee table. It did not take her long to hear suspicious sounds resonating in the hallway outside. She heaved herself up from her seat and walked over to Prem.

'What is going on?' she asked him. Prem was leaning against the door with his arms folded, as if expecting her to try to leave.

'You don't need to worry Heer, I brought them here, they work for me,' he stated and she stared at him blankly in confusion.

'They are moving my things in,' he said, answering her questioning gaze. Heer frowned to show her bewilderment, her eyes wide with torment.

'Why?' she asked, still in a state of shock.

'Because I've realised that I just cannot have you living here on your own. And since you have made it perfectly clear that you will not move in with me, this is the only other option,' he said complacently.

'No!' she exclaimed desperately, inadequately trying to push past him, but he stood resolutely in his position, obstructing her way out.

'They are just doing their job Heer, leave them to it,' he insisted.

'This is absolutely ridiculous, this is my home!' she cried, dropping down on the sofa feebly and burying her face in her hands. Prem sighed and travelled the small distance across the room to take hold of her shoulders, drawing her closer to him and holding her against his chest. Muffled sobs escaped from her lips as she weakly clung to him.

'You have to understand why I'm doing this Heer, please,' he pleaded, threading his fingers through her hair in a soothing gesture. Her tears soaked through the fabric of his shirt. As she pulled away, her eyes red and moist, she watched his eyes sweep penetratingly over her face. She quickly averted her head, in a hopeless attempt to control the rapid pacing of her heart and to resist the temptation of simply melting in his arms.

'I will behave, I promise,' he joked to lighten the mood and she nudged her elbow playfully into his ribs.

'You better,' Heer muttered with a smile and he let out a soft chuckle.

Prem's lean fingers tugged at the knot of his tie and he idly tossed it aside. Heer watched him with astonishment.

'What are you doing?' she asked.

'Making myself at home,' he declared smugly.

'You may be able to act like a slob in your own home, but that won't work here' she chided, 'Pick that up now,' she pointed to the tie lying carelessly on the floor.

Prem looked at her incredulously- was she being serious? Telling by the murderous expression on her face, yes, she was being completely serious. He cautiously leaned over to pick up the tie as she watched him like a cat would a mouse.

'Thank you,' Heer said sweetly, her eyes twinkling with delight at his act of obedience. His lips curled into a smile at the way she could turn from totally terrifying to irresistibly sexy within seconds. He watched her curiously. There was a magnetic pull that she had over him which drew him to her incessantly, and he was powerless to stop it.

Heer's smile slowly faded as Prem refused to take his eyes off her. A languid weakness fused through her at the piercing gaze of his, her heart hammering away uncontrollably. She hated this effect that he had on her. Whenever his eyes would meet hers all sense of composure she had would cease to exist and she felt herself plunged into ecstasy. Those enticingly striking brown eyes did not help to alleviate matters for her in the slightest. The only thing she could do was direct her attention elsewhere.

'I...Ummm...I want you to see something,' she faltered, debating with herself whether she should show him or not. Yet, it was not something that could exactly be hidden for much longer.

'Hmmm?' he gestured for her to continue.

Heer took in a deep breath before nervously lifting her shirt just above her abdomen to reveal to him her little bump- the first real sign of their growing baby.

The expression that formed across Prem's face was unfathomable. He sat staring with wide eyes at the swell of her stomach in silence, clearly lost for words. The reverberating silence was becoming increasingly uncomfortable with every passing minute. Prem tentatively extended his hand out as if to touch it yet hesitantly pulled away, clenching his hand at his side awkwardly. Heer smiled faintly, knowing exactly of the feelings that gushed through him, for they mirrored her own. She reached forward and took his hand in hers, carrying his fingers to place them gently over the bump. She did not expect to shudder slightly at the contact, hoping it went unnoticed. Luckily Prem was unreservedly absorbed by the sight in front of him, unable to believe that he was experiencing this precious moment. Her skin burned at his touch and she could not fathom the reason why. She trembled as it strangely brought back memories of their night together. She sighed as she remembered that their baby would always be a constant reminder of it.

'This is just...amazing,' said Prem, finally able to muster the courage to speak. Heer nodded, tears blurring her vision.

'Yes...amazing,' she repeated.
