CHERIE
TRAILER
BOOK 2 IN THE MAFIA SERIES
“She woke up blank. No past. No name. No him. So I gave her mine. Now she’s Meher Singhania. My wife. My puppet. My obsession. And if the truth ever dares to surface… I’ll bury it. Just like I buried her husband.”
- Vivaan Singhania
I opened my eyes in a hospital room with my head heavy, feeling everything around me all blurred and a sharp pain around my head and abdomen
I could see the nurse working besides me
I almost mumbled out due to that sharp pain I was in
Meher
Can you tell me why I am here?
Nurse
You went through an accident. You have some serious concussions in your head so, you have also lost your memories of your past
I didn't need her to tell me that I lost my memories even I didn't know anymore who I am and what all this is around me.
Meher
Is there any family member of mine here with me in the hospital?
The nurse smiled and pointed her eyes in the direction of a man who just entered the room and suddenly his aura, made me feel chilly.
Vivaan
I hope you're doing okay now, Babe?
Something rang through my mind as I pushed his touch away from me.
Vivaan
*chuckles* Look at me, I almost forgot that my wife doesn't remember me now. I'm your husband, Vivaan Singhania.
I looked at my hands and they were sweating. I felt my heart beating loudly. It was weird. But I know this feeling I had around him cannot be around my husband.
Was he really my husband or all this...
Vivaan
You're mine Meher! And I'm never letting you go.

Who Are You?
I slowly opened my eyes and looked around myself. I was in a hospital room. As soon as I tried to get up my abdomen started to hurt a lot and so did my head.
I held my head and hissed and turned my head to look at a strong build man sitting on the couch leaning his body backwards sleeping. My eyes were blurry. I couldn't focus to look at his face properly.
I mumbled slowly extending my hands trying to reach the glass kept at the table besides my bed when accidentally the remote to my bed fell down and the man leaning on the couch woke up with a startle
He watched me struggling like that and immediately ran towards me in order to hold me.
Vivaan
Hey? Hey? Don't move, your stitches might open. You need to rest properly. Just tell me what you want?
His embrace felt a little uncomfortable to me, and so I pulled backwards
Meher
I want a glass of water.
I said in a low voice, and he nodded and poured me out a glass quickly.
I was saying when accidentally my hand slipped and the glass that I was holding fell on his feet, the shards of glasses pierced through his skin.
Vivaan
*hiss in pain** Shh...
Meher
Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
I said trying to get up but he quickly held me ignoring his pain
Vivaan
It's okay. Just... lie down. I'll handle this. You want water right, let me help you with it.
He said and completely ignoring his feet sat beside me on the bed and poured out another glass of water for me and made me sip on it from his own hands.
Vivaan
*looks at her very worried with care and love** Are you feeling better?
I said nodding a 'no' for another gulp of the water and he kept the glass aside
Meher
You should get your hand treated. Must be hurting pretty bad.
I said. He smiled at me painfully and said
Vivaan
Maybe I deserve the pain for what I'm doing right now.
I didn't understand what he wanted to say.
Meher
By the way, I'm sorry if I sound rude but, who are you?
I asked, and he looked at me as if I asked him the most difficult question in this world. He appeared a bit hesitant, gulped, licked his lips and smiled at me.
Vivaan
I'm your husband. Vivaan Singhania.
Doesn't Feel Right
The way he said he was my husband, I don't know why, but it felt weird. Very Weird.
He sat besides me and hugged me inside his embrace and lifted up my hand to make me look at the wedding ring
Vivaan
This is the ring. Our wedding ring. The proof that you're mine
I stared at the ring shocked. Then, I looked at his hands confused. He wasn't wearing any wedding rings of his own. I looked up at him and my eyes questioned him. He understood, getting away from me.
Vivaan
I... I took the ring off at home while I was taking a shower. I heard the news of your accident and came rushing down. I'm waiting for you to wake up from last six days. I never had the chance to go back home.
I felt heartbroken for him. Maybe, I was thinking too much. And it wasn't like there was anything not to believe
Vivaan
So... My wedding ring is, in the shower at home.
He sighed and sat back beside me
I didn't know what to say. It felt like yesterday I wasn't even inside this world and now, I have a husband.
Vivaan
You okay right? Is it hurting you somewhere? Are you feeling well?
He said, his eyes contained something very deep for me. When I looked at him, into those eyes, it felt like he truly loved me.
Meher
Y-Yeah, I'm fine. I just... I want to get out of here. I don't like to stay in a hospital.
He stared at my face for a while locked at that moment. I couldn't understand the way he was staring at me
Meher
D-do y-you... Want something?
I asked. He leaned closer to my face and his warm breath mingled with mine.
Vivaan
You know, I have always wanted to kiss your lips.
He said huskily. I opened my eyes and looked at him confused
Meher
You mean... We... We haven't done anything yet? With umm... Each other?
He immediately got away from my face. He appeared to look speechless.
Vivaan
Umm... No. Uhh... Of course we have done things. A lot of things. I... I was just saying that umm... I wanted to kiss you the first thing you wake up and look at me.
He said and stopped, his eyes locked with mine, screaming love for me.
I scoffed nervously. He sat back beside me on the bed and slowly moved his hand to cup my face.
Vivaan
I love you Meher. I love you very much. I have been loving you from the very beginning of the moment I saw you.
His lips were now just inches apart from mine.
I felt like there was something wrong. But, what could be wrong in kissing my husband right?
He was my husband, so he should be the man I love but, why doesn't it feel right?
