The Replacement (#royals Book 1) by Shikha A (early readers txt) 📖

"Release what release?" I was just not getting what she was trying to say.

She gulped before continuing "A release only a man can provide to the women. I mean you have to have sex not only once but many rounds to fulfil the desire you get that time and if you don’t do so your heart rate gates high and BP shots up and you can die as well." She takes a deep breath once she finishes in one go.

And then it hit me.

So that means I did with someone? 

I mean how I am ok?

I started thinking about last night's event and then I remembered Shubham was with me till last I remember, did something with him?

What happened which I don’t remember? I suddenly started to panic and Panna got my turmoil.

"No Rani Sa I reached the room on time and asked sir to leave the room because your condition was getting worse". She answered my unasked questions.

First I thought you were drunk but when your symptoms started getting worse I realized the problem.

"Then how am I ok?" I still wanted confirmation.

"I called the doctor and he asked me to give you an injection for the same, which I arranged and it worked on time before any damage".  She clarified my doubts. 

"Oh panna you are my saviour, how am I going to repay you this. It's the second time you have saved me." Saying I hugged her tightly. 

"Please Rani Sa don’t say that, It's a shame that this all happened in front of me and I could not stop that beforehand." She broke the hug and looked down.

"I am sorry I could not fulfil my duty". Tears were threatening to come from her eyes.

"No Panna don’t say that, I can't get anyone better than you in my life. You always did your best." Saying I touch her cheeks with love.

"No Rani Sa this time I failed in my duty” She looked down in shame.

"No you did not, See I am standing here all healthy because of you only. And you have no idea how thankful I am for this." I state the fact.

"It's my duty to take care of you, so please don’t say that. Moreover I guess you might get late for your show so please take this medicine and get ready by then I shall order something for you to eat."  She handed me a glass of water with medicine.

I nodded and took the medicine and went inside the washroom to get ready.

After some time I was all ready and we left the room after eating.

Peehu was already on stage taking care of everything in my absence.

She came running towards me the moment she looked at me.

"Babe are you alright”? She looked at me from top to toe.

"How did you drink last night? You never drink when we are outside." She inquired more.

I look at Panna and she shakes her head a little, so that means she has not told her anything about the last night.

"Well I don’t know babe, I guess at the bar I took someone else's glass by mistake, anyways now I am feeling much better. 

"Now tell me what's the scene?" saying I ignored further talk and started doing my work.

Finally the last show was a good success and it’s a farewell party today.

Due to the Design Head I had to be here and meet people, running into my room and sleeping peacefully was not an option today. Regardless, I stayed at the party to meet important people.

Finally I got tired, and wanted fresh air but going out again was not the option I had, so I came to the corner of the room with Panna.

“Panna my head and legs in paining” I press my head saying this.

“You must be dehydrated Rani Sa wait here, let me get something for you. Please be here only." Saying she left the place. 

I was standing and looking at my phone thinking about calling Shivay. Today I did not get a chance to call him.

Shipra” I heard Shubham’s voice and somehow it all reminded me of yesterday’s conversation.

I did not turn to his side and stayed stilled.

"I know you are angry. Look I am sorry” but right now I don’t need his sorry I just want him to go from here as soon as possible.

There are so many people around and I don’t want to do any drama here. I don’t know about him but I do have a reputation to hold on. I thought.

"Shipra please baby look at me” And now I lost it.

"Excuse me? 

What did you call me just now? 

Baby? 

Whose baby? 

I am not your baby. Do you get that?

You know you are talking to a married woman right? I was pissed as hell but my smiling face was intact while saying this all because I know anyone can see us here and making scenes is the last thing I want here.

"See I know you are angry but please listen to me for once." He requested coming close to me.

I saw from the corner of my eyes Panna came with a glass of juice but stood at a safe distance from us to give us some privacy.

"Ok I am listening” I spoke again smiling.

"See I know you are married but I also know in what circumstances you got married to that guy." He spoke looking directly into my eyes.

"But trust is all that matters, nothing for me, I don’t care if you are single or married."

He tried to hold my hand which I snatched back.

"I am not getting what you trying to say Mr. Singhania." Because now I want to know what he is saying? He is not making any sense to me right now.

"Oh so now I am Mr, Singhania for you?" He spoke sarcastically.  

"You were always Mr. Singhania for me." I stated the matter of the fact.
