Starting parts will be a little boring for you all so I am really sorry but I would like you to read Book 1 of Love series 

Kindly please read The Shekhawat's Infinite love and passion before reading this it'll help you to know about the characters in this book.

A girl was lying on the floor shivering in pain and fear was none other than our FL, Jiya Nigam. Her eyes wanted to find her mother, her real mother. "Mumma" she cried but no one listened to her pleas. her hand looked red like someone poured hot water on her hand.

"Ab kya hua subh to badi jaban chal rahi thi ab bol" (Now what, in the morning you were talking a lot, now speak up)

A woman elder than her was shouting at her. She was Madhu Nigam, her stepsister. She scrunched her nose in disgust as she saw Jiya's burned hand.

Shina Nigam came into the scene and yelled at Madhu, "What are you doing Madhu?" She looked at Jiya's hand and poured some cold water on her hand. She hissed feeling cold water on her hand. She called a doctor to aid her injury.

The doctor came and examined her hand and said, "It's good that water was not too hot or she would have gotten a scar but I'll give you cream it'll get better in a month."

Shina glared at him and said, "Doctor she should not get a scar or it'll be not good for you"

Madhu was looking at Shina like she was an alien.

After Doctor went away, Madhu yelled at her, "Mom, what are you doing? Why did you call a doctor?"

Shina smirked and said, "Shina, koi pagal hi sone ke ande dene wali murgi ko katta hai" (Sheena, only a crazy person kills the hen that lays golden eggs)

Madhu frowned. "Mom, what do you mean?"

Shina smirked and said, "Shruti maam asked me for her hand in marriage"

Madhu's eyes widen in surprise and shock. "But Mom, how could you marry her into that wealthy family?"

Shina gently held her palm and said, "Madhu" she twisted her hand a little, "Aisa hai ki apni jaban apne paas rakho mujhpe sawal na uthao" (It's like this, keep your tongue to yourself and don't question me) she left her with a jerk and said,

"Tumhe ise marna hai to maro par iski sundarta pe koi fark nhi padna chahiye. Jitne Nishan bane hai iski body pe utne hi rehne chahiye aur agar ye badhe to maar dalunga. Aur ha iska chehra kharab karne ki koshish bhi mat karna"

(If you want to kill her then do so but her beauty should not be affected. Whatever marks she has on her body should remain the same and if it grows up I will kill you. And yes don't even try to ruin her face.)

Madhu started crying hearing her cold voice but Shina cupped her face and said, "Madhu baccha, don't worry I don't love her. It's just they liked her too much and offered me 50 lakhs instead of marrying her to their son."

Madhu's eyes glistened in happiness hearing 50 lakhs. She nodded happily and hugged her, "Wow Mama, ye to sachem sone ke ande dene wali murgi nikli" (Wow mom she's really the golden egg laying eggs)

Shina held her hand and said, "bas ye bat tumharre dad ko pata nhi chalni chahiye." (Your dad just shouldn't know about this.)

Madhu frowned and said, "But mom he doesn't even care about her"

Shina glared at her and said, "Jitna bola hai utna karo" (Do as much as I say)

Meanwhile, Anuj Nigam was inside his room ignoring his whole family, especially Jiya.

But Jiya who was unconscious in her sleep didn't know what was going to happen to her.

Time skip to 1 month later:-

Jiya was waiting for her husband in her room after her wedding. It was her wedding night but he didn't come. She had many expectations from this marriage but it shattered when Dhruv didn't come in his room.

She woke up early in the morning when a maid knocked on the door. It was 4 a.m. The maid told her to come downstairs quickly. She went downstairs but didn't see anyone. She frowned, thinking that her mother-in-law had called her downstairs, but she was not there. She was waiting for her pehli rasoi, but not like this. That maid ordered her to make breakfast for everyone and gave her a big list. Jiya was making breakfast for everyone, while all family members were sleeping soundly.

No maid helped her since they went to their quarters to sleep leaving her confused and alone to deal with the kitchen herself which she was doing in her father's home too. She managed to make their breakfast alone. It was clear that no one liked her but she had expectations from her mother-in-law.

*

At 9 am, everyone came to the dining table. They sat on the chairs and started eating their breakfast meanwhile Jiya was standing at a distance looking at everyone. Rashmi Arora glanced at Jiya and smiled. She motioned her to come closer and said, "Food is really good"

Jiya smiled hearing a compliment for her. Looking at her smile Rashmi asked her, "Where is Dhruv?"

Jiya's smile faded and looked at her. Not knowing what to answer when she didn't even know where was her husband, "Umm Vo raat ko thak gaye the bas abhi abhi bahar gaye hai, aa jayenge" She said lowering her gaze feeling guilty for lying to them. (Um, he was tired last night, he just went out, he will come back)

Rashmi smirked because she had gotten the news that Dhruv hadn't come home at night and he had gone somewhere by their private jet.

Shruti's phone rang, he was Dhruv, "Mom, I am in New York for a meeting don't worry about me and I'll call you later"

Shruti told everyone that he was in New York. Jiya felt a sudden embarrassment that her husband left the country the night of their marriage. Her heart shattered thinking that she was nothing for him. He didn't even meet her and went somewhere too far.

Rashmi didn't leave the chance to taunt her, "Bhabhi, apni bahu ki lagam pakad ke rakhiye. Ghar me aate hi jhut bolna chalu kar diya" (Bhabhi, keep a tight rein on your daughter-in-law. As soon as she came home, she started lying)

Shruti glared at Jiya and yelled at her, "Ay ladki, teri himmat kaise hui humse jhut bolne ki" (Hey girl how dare you lie to me)

Jiya's tears welled up and apologized, "Sorry Mom, I didn't know that he had gone out of the country" Shruti clutched her hair in her fist and yelled, "Maam, call me maam you're not allowed to call me mom. Sirf mere bache mujhe mom bula sakte hai samjhi" (Only my sons are allowed to call me mom.)

Jiya nodded through her tears which were flowing from her eyes. Shruti left her, leaving Jiya sitting on the floor whimpering in pain and crying.

After breakfast, Jiya took a plate to eat something but Shruti snatched her plate and said, "tum tab khana khaogi jab ye log kha le" (You will eat when these people have finished eating)

She pointed toward the maids. "Aur ha jameen pe baith kar khana khana warna mera dining table ganda ho jayega." The maids chuckled hearing her insults. (And yes, eat food while sitting on the floor otherwise my dining table will get dirty.)

Jiya felt pain in her heart thinking that this was her place in her in-laws.

Time skip:- 10 days later.

Jiya was tired of everything, her mother-in-law, Rashmi, and Maya's taunts and misbehavior. Her husband also didn't come home in these days. Rocky Arora, Jiya's brother-in-law used to steal food for Jiya as she looked malnutritious. Before 4 days , Shruti burned her with a hot rod till she went unconscious.

And one day he, Dhruv Arora came home. Jiya felt a little happiness but it didn't last for more time.

When Jiya came back to her room Dhruv grabbed her wrist tightly and glared at her in anger.

"How dare you misbehave with my mother?" his voice gave shivers down her spine. She struggled in his grip and said, "I-I d-didn't d-do a-anything". Tears rolled down her cheeks.

His grip tightened around her wrist but he left her and turned around rubbing his temple, "Ajj ke baad meri ma se uchi awaj me baat bhi mat karna." he said. (After today, don't talk to my mother in a loud voice)

Jiya looked at him with her teary eyes. He turned around and saw her eyes. Her eyes made something flutter inside his stomach. His body wanted to help her but his heart and brain were saying the same thing, you don't need anyone in your life.

His eyes turned red in anger and said, "Ye aasu kyu baha rahi ho ab, agar tumhe Aisa lagta hai ki isse main pighal jaunga to bilkul galat ho. Na hi mai tumhe apni biwi Manta hu aur nhi tumhare ye aasu mujhe pighala sakte hai" He threw a vase in anger and stormed outside without knowing that some of that pieces pierced through her feet.

(Why are you shedding these tears now, if you think that this will make me cry then you are absolutely wrong. Neither do I consider you my wife nor can these tears of yours make me cry)

She sat there crying on the floor clutching her knees tightly to her chest, "Mumma why did you leave me alone?" she sobbed hard.

Time skips:- 10 months later

This had become her routine. She used to wake up early at 4 a.m. and sleep at almost 12 or 1 a.m. because of work. Shruti had also fired 2 maids. Shruti was very happy because she could pour her frustration on her daughter-in-law. Shruti used to beat her, locking her in a confined room.

Dhruv maintained his distance from Jiya from the day he saw her crying in front of him. He always sleeps in his study inside his room or in his office. He didn't even look at her properly after that day, even after 10 months. In this months, many things happened, and she also had her entry.

Jiya looked more pale and weak because of malnutrition.

Jiya was in her room when she felt the room or her head spinning. She balanced herself and thought, "Bas hogaya kanhayiya, ab mujhse nhi hoga, bhej digiye mujhe meri ma ke paas ya fir mai khud hi chali jati hu." (It's enough Kanhaiya ji, I can't do it anymore, send me to my mother or I will go away myself)

She climbed onto the terrace with her trembling steps where Dhruv was attending a call, facing the view while talking with his friend. When he turned around his eyes widened and saw Jiya standing on the edge. Before he could say or do anything she jumped from the terrace.

Fear crawled over his chest. He went downstairs and saw her body on the ground covered in blood. Because of the hard floor, her head was wounded seriously. He picked her up in fear and went to his car and drove to the hospital but before doctors could check her, she took her last breath. Doctors told him that she died.

His soul shattered hearing this he looked at her like he had been in love with her for many years. He roamed his palm over her face and kissed her forehead while crying.

Shruti, Rashmi, Maya, and Rocky came and heard the news. Rocky burst into tears but some shameless people were covering their mouths so their laugh couldn't be heard.

Shruti was thinking that now she could marry his son to someone of their status. She patted Dhruv's shoulder and said, "It's okay don't worry. I'll find someone else for you" Dhruv didn't listen to her and was just staring at Jiya's pale face.

[This is novel's summary but Nidhi had read the whole book]

"What is wrong with this novel? This is fucking boring and what is wrong with your name, Jublina? Seriously. Didn't you find more better name rather than this?" A woman aged 37 or 38 said in frustration.

"Nidhi yaar, come on these days this kind of novel is popular among teenagers and don't you dare insult my books and especially my name. I know it's weird but I just named it like this and now I cant change it." Janvi, Nidhi's best friend rolled her eyes while saying this.

"Come on, Janvi these are not up to my taste" Janvi laughed playfully, hearing this from her.

"Okay, Dr. Nidhi Tripathi. Even if it's not up to your taste you have to read this. Well let's leave this all we need to go for the next surgery." Nidhi smirked at her.

"Let's go, After all, we need to reach there before the patient die,"

Janvi chuckled and said, "You know what Nidhi? you are totally the opposite of Jiya Nigam"

Nidhi rolled her eyes in irritation and said, "Not that girl Janvi. I swear I'll kill you"
