and even after recovery my dad put me under a strict surveillance 24/7. The doors to my bathroom and bedroom were removed, I had no privacy. Whenever I took my bath or changed clothes I had either my sister or my mom watching me like bodyguards. I felt disgusted of my life." Freya left the words in a flare of dismay.

"Life was tough. If you were fighting a battle there, I was here in a war too. It was then my dad urgently decided to marry me. I agreed but on a condition. The man I marry should also carry the same name." Freya broke to a whimper as she revealed one after another the hidden pips inside her heart.

Justin stared at her unbelievable. There was so much pain hidden inside her. "It would be the rarest happening that I could get such a man. I thought under the pretext of the condition, I could escape the marriage." Freya looked at Justin in an adoration, went on her tippy toes and kissed his cheek. "You were alive flowing like electricity in each of my nerves. I knew I couldn't forget you. That is why I put forward an unrealizable condition before my dad."  Freya sniffed accompanied by hiccups.

"Stop it Sweetheart. Do not say anything more. I heard enough from you." Justin drew Freya to his chest but she wasn't finished yet. "But God had decided another story for me." She held Justin's shoulders and slowly placed her head on his chest.

"My dad found a man exactly with the same epithet to my utter dismay and I had no way but to carry on with my promise. Eden Reynolds, he was the son of my father's friend. Who knows looks could be the most deceived? He carried the same name as yours but was completely opposite in nature. He was a womanizer." Freya spat the last word with vengeance as if she was re-living the moment of Eden's torture upon her.

"Everyday he used to bring a new woman to the house and abuse me. In the beginning of our relationship when you did the same...." Freya broke to a cry. "I thought my stars weren't going to get changed and I was bound to suffer."

Justin pulled Freya to his chest. "It was only a charade I was holding before you sweetheart, I thought you left me getting influenced by your dad's words. Stop talking. I cannot see you break anymore."

Freya cupped Justin's cheek, an untold adulation reflecting in her eyes. "I love you so much Justin. I cannot stop loving you. The day you die, you can consider me dead on the same day."

"Shh! Fucking I said to you to stop it." Justin pulled Freya's face to him and kissed her wild, feral and ferocious like she was the only source that could satiate his fierce hunger. "Come on get dressed. The party is on full swing. I guess the dance floor is open now." He winks. "I want to dance with you and I need to meet my son too."

Justin helped Freya with the hair that he ruined a while ago in making love. Freya was silently buttoning the shirt of Justin.  He could read her like the back of his hand. "You're crying again? He asked her in accuse?

"What if I lost you on that day? What if I lost you a few days ago when you went to kill that rascal Daniel? What took you so long? Why didn't you return immediately?" She choked on her words and the tears that were held back hitherto started to flow back in small streams.

Justin wiped Freya's tears away. "I was healing. During the attack one of the bullet hit my knee. I was treated in a local nursing home built for tribals, I wasn't able to walk till a few days ago and I did not want you to suffer more agony seeing me handicapped. That is why I kept myself away from you."

"And you thought I will stay happier here without even knowing you were alive or dead." Justin tipped Freya's head up and sucked her away in the kiss. His tongue occupied every corner of her mouth like it was his territory sweeping her away to a new world of paradise.

"I'm sorry. Won't you excuse me for this?" He asked tender holding her chin. Freya reduced her eyes to the floor. Justin chuckled. "Okay let us make a peace deal. Tomorrow night we dine out with your favorite menu on rocks. Okay?"

"Okay?" He asked her again this time louder when she did not reply but at the same time with interlacing softness. Freya slowly nodded her head continuing to look towards the floor.

"Look at me sweetheart." Justin exhaled aloud cupping her face in his hands and kissed her cheeks.

"Come on I will introduce my parents to you who you already know." He winks and draws Freya out of the room walking with her hand in hand.

"She is my mother Ava Cladyrman, the most successful and world famous oncologist and surgeon. Because of my mother's contacts and my dad's resources I live today in spite of everything that happened in my life." Justin looked down patting softly the cheek of Ava when she goes dull again.

"He is my dad Eros Cladyrman Chairman of Reliance Industries  which is one of the top five firms in clothing line. We have our wings spread  in pharma, coal and oil industry too." Everything suddenly felt like a dream for Freya, like she was in the new world of paradise.

"And she is my older sister Eva. Her husband Jordan is busy on a business meet, so he could not come for party." Justin chortles sending a silent message to Eva of something which Freya could not make out.

"Welcome to Cladyrman's family, Freya.I wish Justin would give the entire happiness of the world and you keep him cheerful.
