The Replacement (#royals Book 1) by Shikha A (books to read as a couple .txt) 📕

SHIPRA POV

“Rani Sa I am not an easy person to be with” And I look at him and thought dude tell me something which I don't know...

Then again he spoke “and I only have one expectation from you that is loyalty. One thing I can't do is forgive and forget. If you have anyone in your life you can tell me right here right now because after this you will be all mine and no excuse will be taken.” 

I smile and said “no I don't have anyone in my life nor I had any. I have never got that much time to do all these as I was always busy with my studies so this all stuff is kind of taboo for me. However, I believe these rules are applicable for both of us not only me?" Saying I smirk.

Which he again nod and said, “I have had my fair share with women but nothing serious but from today I will be a one-woman man.” 

Hearing him my heart sunk and I felt jealous suddenly of that thought of him being with someone else but his next work gives me peace and an unsaid promise and I know he is saying the truth. 

“Tomorrow we are getting engaged” and saying this he got up. 

Oh, he thinks he will get away by informing me about my engagement? 

Really? 

Oh, how wrong you are my dear King. 

So I give him my best smile and asked “Hukum are you ordering me about our engagement?” 

And he got it what am saying and smirk and repeated “I am leaving tomorrow for Gadh (estate) and before I leave I want to make mine officially.” 

See how easy it is to talk normally but well this man does not know, but not worry my dear king now I will teach you and with thought, I smirk back and replied, “Will be waiting for you” and stood up as well and started walking out.

We were going toward parking and bodyguards were following us which he gives them a sign to stay back and they did. 

I was about to reach my car but suddenly being clumsy I twisted my leg and closed my eyes and wait to kiss the ground but two strong hands caught me and I open my eyes and met again with mesmerizing eyes. 

“Careful Rani Sa” which I nod and took one step back to come out of his arms but he kept me intact. 

His thumb was touching my bare stomach and giving me some kind of tingling inside my stomach and Goosebumps all over my body. 

This is the first time someone has touched my body like this. He did not leave me so I stood like a statue and looked down. 

Then he comes near to my ear and said huskily, “Rani sa you are not Replacement you are my first and only choice. I was never interested in your sister in the first place so take this Replacement thing out from your small brain. Understand?”

And again I nod and as I don't know what to do or say, his close proxy was making me dizzy and my heating cheeks are not helping me either. 

Then suddenly he said “I love these pink cheeks” and kissed me on both the cheeks and said, “see you tomorrow My Queen” and left. 

I was still standing in the same place and thinking about what just had happened?

I don't know whether I should be happy or sad. 

But then again I thought why would I get sad? He is I would be husband so he has all rights over me. 

Thinking that I again blushed hard and set in the car and left for home.

SHIVAY POV

I knew she enters the cafe and when she clears her throat I told her without even looking at her that I know she is here and please take a seat. 

And then I look up and saw she was wearing black pent and crop top and her stomach was on the show a little bit. 

I was kind of mesmerized by her beauty and Oh how my hand wants to touch there huh but again I composed myself. 

I could see she is nervous and want to say many things but well-well guess what baby doll I want to hear all those things so bring it on.

Again I give her a chance to spill the beans and she did. At least one thing is clear that she is pure by heart as she was ready for this alliance just to make her family and my Dadu Hukum Happy and she does not have any hidden agenda but well again I don't want to trust her her her this woman creature no matter what.

But when she started I thought she will tell me something about love life and I don't know but thinking about her with someone made my blood boiled but I stayed calm as I wanted to know her real colors so I let her speak.

And she spoke about her dreams. Her professional life got my attention and I got to know she works in my company. 

So this is the thing Dada Hukum must have helped her to reach till here or else how come she has reached where she is. 

But her next statement made me wonder that Dada Hukum has nothing to do with this. 

And suddenly I remember last year's incident of Shrinivasan our Company head being Praising a girl and saying her designs are exclusive and he showed me and they were indeed beautiful. 

So that design was hers and I only approved her promotion as she was a well-deserving candidate. 

Somehow I am proud of her and she is indeed a hard-working person and I like this type of person who wants to grow on their own without any help.

When I told her about my decision of engagement she smartly counter-question me and I like her feisty side. 

She indeed knows how to take out her work from people and that too nicely. Indeed well-deserving candidate to be a queen, And I saw her smirking and I smirk back and said my reason which she seems satisfy with my answer. 

I know sometimes am too direct and I need to learn to explain. But well I don't explain myself to anyone but again she is not anyone and I could see she won't let her guards down that easily which I like the most.
