Does he feel the same way about me?

She didn’t know, and she didn’t want to ask.

“Where are we going?” she asked instead.

There was a flash of amusement in his dark eyes. “You’ll see,” he said.

With her cheeks heating, she looked out of the window again. The helicopter flew over the desert before entering the city. Amidst the open patch of ground, it began descending.

As soon as they landed, he led her out. The surroundings looked vaguely familiar, but she knew she had never been to the place before.

“Where are we?” she asked, looking at him.

His eyes were hidden behind his dark sunglasses. “At a library.”

She was confused and then she looked around until her eyes fell on the sign that displayed the name of the library she had only dreamed of visiting.

“My God… it’s the underground library!”

It was supposed to be one of the largest and most exclusive libraries in the country with only limited access. Noted historians from all over the country visited it.

I can’t believe this!

She was in a happy daze when he led her inside.

“There’s also an option to purchase the books. So, pick whatever you want and how many ever books you want.”

She nodded in a daze.

How did he know this was her dream library? Was it a coincidence?

For the next few hours, she remained in a blissfully happy daze. She had purchased close to a hundred books. She expected Shivay to be impatient, but he didn’t say anything. He simply pulled out a shiny card and handed it to the person standing behind the desk, and then asked the books to be loaded into the helicopter.

When they entered the helicopter, she couldn’t stop herself from asking.

“How did you know?” she asked.

His mouth twisted. “You are not the only one who can spy, my dear wife.”

Her cheeks heated. She had been looking up information about him on the internet. Although there weren’t many pictures or private information, she read about him and his company. The latest acquisition was of copper mining companies. She had heard about it from her brother when he said that Shivay wanted to own oil wells next. But when she read that Shivay’s company was engaging several leading environmental teams of scientists to make it ecofriendly and minimize water pollution, she was fascinated and impressed.

How did he know she was looking up information on him?

She tried to see if he was angry about the fact, but he didn’t seem upset or angry. He was watching her with a small smile.

She realized that taking her to her dream library was one of the sweetest gestures anyone had done for her. Only her late father used to surprise her with such sweet, considerate gestures. She felt a rush of warmth at the fact.

Even though there were other people around, including security, she leaned towards Shivay and kissed him on the cheek.

“Thank you,” she said softly.

Her voice was drowned in the sound of the helicopter, but his eyes flashed as he looked at her.

She placed her hand in his large one and looked out of the helicopter window, feeling giddily happy.

Somewhere in the back of her mind, she knew she had fallen in love with her devil husband.
