Claimed by love III (Final Chapter)

Karan and his emotions!

The dreame expression on her face suits her, Karan can notice her happiness in her eyes too.

" This cruise is my heaven and it always hold this position in my heart,

(Karan frowned) because of this place I am what I am today, this place made me the mother of three kids, this was the place where...( Neha halt and realised what she was about to share with Karan. She don't want to hurt him or his feelings for her, she respects his love and what he feels for her) Leave my topic and you tell me, how that devil let you step in this cruise? " She questioned wriggling her brows at him in curiosity.

Karan already was aware how good Neha was in diverting topics nor he was interested to dig the topic further as he don't want to hear how she and Black made babies here.

" I came with Ariel and her dad, Nessie aunty invited me , I think that's why that bastard didn't say anything " Saying that Karan laid on the deck and rested his head in Neha's lap as he used to in past.

Neha lovingly started patting his head and combing his hair with her fingers.

"You okay Karan?" Neha questioned him as she felt he has something to discuss with her.

Karan smiled looking into her eyes that made Neha smile too.

" What is it? Let it out " Neha didn't request but demanded him.

Karan recalled the time that he spent without her and how alone he was, he recalled how no one never try to understand him as Neha used to.

Neha again wriggled her brows at him " Say it Karan, you know I hate being patient"

Karan smiled brightened, of course, he knew , he knew every single thing about her.

"You know I was so alone without you ( Her sudden serious words turned the happy environment very serious, Neha even stopped combing his silky hair with her fingers)

When you left, I diverted my all attention on my career but even after trying my best I couldn't focus.

Black had everyone with him in his problems like Ariel, Victoria, Alex, his dad, your family, but I, I was all alone, even mom, dad and Susi was also upset with me " Neha can feel his emotions as she was going through the same , the only privilege she had that she had her kids and Nessie with her but the emptiness of her family and Black never let her sleep peacefully.

Not a single day left when she didn't miss her parents, sisters and Black.

" In the world of billions of people your eyes always look for that person who completes you, in whom you see your world" Neha let out.

With a sigh Neha looked at Karan and once again started combing his hair using her fingers.

" You don't know him, Karan, just like you, he was also suffering with the same loneliness! The only difference was you were only missing me and he was living hell without me and Kabir.

(Karan expression hardened, instead of feeling rage towards her, he realised what Neha stated was true.

He was only missing her but never think about his little son) I have seen his empty eyes on the news. Yes he was surrounded with all his well-wishers but in the crowd of thousands of peoples, he was lost in his own darkness " After her confession the silence occured between them.

They didn't count how long they stayed silent, the cold breeze was hitting their faces and many things were running in their heads.

All of sudden Neha felt like she should not have brought Kabir between their discussion but it wasn't her intention to hurt Karan, Kabir just came in her mind and she let out her feelings in front of him as she used to.

Neha was about to tell him sorry but Karan didn't let her speak as he diverted the whole conversation.

" Why you never fell in love with that dog? ( Neha first narrow her gaze at Karan and then raised her brow at him. She wanted to correct him, she wanted to tell him how much she loves him but chose to remai silent. Karan cleared his throat ) I mean... I mean he is dam handsome and I have witnessed through my own eyes how girls are crazy about him " This time Karan's words made Neha laugh.

"You were keeping eye on him?" Neha questioned and bitterness instantly occured on Karan's face that made Neha laugh harder.

"He forced me to work with him so he and his men could keep eye on me, he was truly a pain in my ass, he honestly made my life living hell, he didn't even let me eat peacefully and Ariel was cherry on top, with that moron Black her brains had been working faster than bullet train" Neha didn't say a word but kept staring at Karan.

Karan came out of his thoughts as he don't want to think about Ariel, since Neha left there were many moments when Ariel's closeness with him made him feel as if Ariel was the one for him but his stubborn feelings or maybe his ego never let him admit that he feels something for Ariel.

Karan recalled the moment when Ariel and he got stuck in cabin and they were forced to spent night together, not only that but many times in past he had helped her for no reason even when Ariel was rude with him, he didn't mind her words.

Neha's finger snapping sound pulled Karan out of his thoughts.

He noticed how Neha's eyes were narrowed at him , he passed her questioning gaze.

"Were you thinking about someone special?" She questioned even knowing very well that Ariel was the one who was running in his mind.

"Yuck!" Karan made disgusting face.

"She isn't special but a witch in human skin ( Neha tried hiding her smile seeing Karan's harsh glared which he was shooting in her direction) leave that witch's topic and answer my question, how you feel about that bastard" Karan questioned again.

Neha don't like it the way Karan was calling her husband with names but even feeling irritate she chose to stay quite for the sake of Karan's happiness and their friendship.

" Karan, from the beginning I never felt comfortable around him.

He used to give me vibes of those dark personalities of dark novels ( Neha smiled recalling her first meeting with her husband ) his looks, his beauty, his luxurious life, his lifestyle, his status, his nature everything used to make me so uncomfortable. I thought he married me because of my body, because I ran away from him but when I met his staff, I visited his modeling agency, I saw how all the heaven beauties were and are still crazy about him, I was stunned.

I wasn't even aware of his wealth and power, I used to hate him , I used to hate him alot as he forced his love and marriage one. I don't know why he said that he loves me when any girl could die for him happily.

( Neha's smiled more bright thinking about her silly thoughts) Then I thought he married me because I rejected his proposal but no he was like a mystery.

I have witnessed him helping thousands of peoples with telling anyone, he didn't even bother to tell me and once I blessed him and our marriage. He owns many hospitals, orphanages, old age homes and he runs many trusts. I didn't realise when I start respecting him.

I care about him and when I left him alone I was worried about him. I kept my tabs on him and one year ago I told mom to go back to his family. " Once she finished , she realised that Karan's hold tightened on her.

Neha patted his head " You know you are best Karan, you always understand me, I never felt uncomfortable around you, I never felt shy around you, I can tell you anything I want, I can share any problem with you, you never judge me" Neha's words made his eyes welled up with tears.

Neha frowned and cupped his face.

" What's wrong Karan, did I say something wrong?" She instantly questioned

" Because you always see your best friend in me, " Karan's words made Neha leave his face.

Karan sat on the deck and kept staring at Neha, he was expecting her to say something to him, he wanted her to correct him but Neha reminded silence and then she started looking at her lap, fiddling with her fingers.

Karan got up and started moving to the elevator.

After taking a pause Neha chased Karan but he stepped into the elevator and closed the door before Neha reach him.

With a sigh, Neha cursed under her breath and pressed the same button where Karan was heading to.

But opening the door and stepping futher in the corridor area she came across with her family.

With a smile on her lips she greeted everyone then she started roaming her gaze.

Looking around she witnessed her staff and team members taking selfies with Karan, joy was holding his white tee on which he took Karan's autograph and jumping like a toddler.

Seeing the sadness on Karan's face Neha thought to approch him, she ever took steps towards him but he told everyone that he has heading to his room.

Ariel gaze was stuck on Neha and she was gritting her teeth in rage.

Ariel wasn't expecting Neha here nor Black informed her about Neha's arrival.

Ariel was discussing something very important with Black before Karan and Neha step here but seeing Neha, Black's whole attention diverted towards Neha and Karan.

Since last three years Ariel was working on her and Black's relationship, she still has a hope that Black would accept her but seeing Neha and Black's attention on her, Ariel could see her hopes shattering into tiny pieces.

" What the f-uck are you doing here?" Even after trying hard , Ariel couldn't kept his temper in her control.

Neha knew Ariel was there but she wasn't expecting to see her and Black working like long lost best friend.

" Well your so-called lover boy invited me and my team for his mom's birthday preparation" Neha gave Ariel the same sharp reply but earned a hard glare from her husband that made Neha so damn jealous.

Amar stepped forward and looked at Neha, Amar had no idea that Neha and Ariel were acquaintance. But then Amar recalled that Neha was Karan's acquaintance and Ariel was Karan's wife.

" Neha, Mrs. Ariel is out client you can disrespect her like that," Amar said holding her hand but Neha pulled her hand out of Amar's grip and looked into his eyes.

" I don't care Amar and I am not going to say any sorry to her" Amar was stunned seeing her behaviour, she wasn't like that as Amar has been observing her for so long.

This time Joy grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him " what's wrong with you darling? " Joy questioned leaning close to her.

Neha closed her eyes and said sorry to Ariel but then without exchanging any words with anyone, she left the main living area of the cruise.

Neha was walking in the corridor lost in her thoughts when she heard the giggling sound of her kids.

Her feet automatically halted and she instantly opened the door, she witnessed her slices of heaven jumping over the bed" Damn guys! ( Neha made face little angry face as the kids could slip down) Slow down my little monkeys! (she yelled) if you guys got hurt, your dad will burn the whole staff alive " Neha said moving to them and then hugged her bundle of Joys tightly kissing their crowns one by one.

" Mom we love you so much and we hate it when you leave and Dad all alone" Her boys complaint to her yelling at the top of their lungs.

Neha made sorry face and kiss their faces.

"Didn't you miss me daddy's princess" Neha questioned her daughter but Stormy stayed silent that made Neha frown.

Neha instantly pulled her daughter in her arms and kissed her head " What's wrong with you my little girl?" Neha questioned

"I don't want you to leave us again" Her daughter's emotional tone made Neha cry , she instantly hide her little treasure in her embrace.

"Mama loves you all Storm, it's just ... It just sometimes my work needs my more attention" Neha tried making excuses but still all her kids started demanding her to leave her job so they could have fun as family.

Neha agreed with her kids demand that made kids happy, soon her kids started telling her about the adventures they went on with their Dad, how much they had fun, how strong and cool their dad is and how he take care of their happiness.

Storm told her mother that Black read bed time stories for them, he even cooked for them and how they were sharing bed.

After hearing all the fun stories, adventure stories and thrilling stories Neha made the kids sleep on their bed and then walked out their room to have chat with her family.

In the living room , she found her family laughing over some matter, Neha so badly wanted to join them but she can't as her staff members and office team was right in front of them family.

It was almost morning time and the team was invited to have dinner with them by Mr. Knight.

The team was suprised and instantly accepted the offer, Neha sat with her team on the dining table for breakfast but her whole attention was on Kara and Ariel.

" Victoria, Isn't she invited in your bday?" Neha questioned looking at Nessie as she can't see Victoria anywhere

Nessie smiled " She is pregnant and went on her second honeymoon " Hearing about Victoria a bring smile appeared on Neha's face.

Amar and team was staring at Neha as she asked about Victoria as if she was aware of their family. Amar was even about to question her about her acquaintance with Knight family but Joy intruppted them.

" Guys we got a very good project in Paris, and Neha you'll company us this time," Joy said looking at Neha, he didn't heard Neha as his gaze was fixed reading the mail he just got.

" I can't, because of my work my family has been affecting, especially my kids" Neha explained

" Look babe, you yourself told us that your kids are with your husband, just like you came here with us and he is taking care of the kids, he can do that even for a week" Amar's words made Neha cough as her husband was shooting daggers with his eyes in her direction.

" Amar, I can't come and that's my final decision. I have some work that I can't neglect even I am planning to head back to my nation" Neha said getting up from the table and left the dining area.
