He brought his face so close to hers, that she thought for a moment, that theirs were going to meet. What was he doing? Who told him she was going to fall for this? "Do not be stubborn, Priyanka" "What do you say about my offer?" "For my brother's health, I will marry…" "Not so fast," a wicked smile appeared on his face. He placed his lips, right before her ears and said "nothing goes for free, here. I have my terms and conditions." "I will provide you with all the money, you need in this world" the Billionaire's voice rang in her ears. "Sign a contract with three rules and save your dear family." "What are these conditions?"

Priyanka sat on the floor with Aanya beside her. She was teaching her the Hindi alphabets. The little girl was learning fast. She got the first fifteen.
The door of the room opened and Karan walked into the room. Behind were Salem and Samira. What was she doing with them?
"Daddy…"Aanya was on her feet. She was ready to meet her dad.
She stopped when she noticed that Rahul could not walk. He was smiling at her "can I take him?"
"You can't carry him" Priyanka stood up. She took Rahul in her arms while Aanya went to hug her father.
"How are you, my Princess?" Karan asked with a smile. When Priyanka brought Rahul to him, he took the boy in his arms and ignored her. "Look who is growing? Go to your aunt Samira, the both of you."
"Nooooo…" Aanya was serious. She wanted to spend time with her dad.
"Not now dear. I promise we will go out later."
"You are going to ditch me for work again" she did not listen to his sweet mouth this time.
