Hidden Marriage - Amazing Husband 【Finale】

Bonus Episode ❤️🔥❤️

●●●●●●

Isha reached out to take it, but he was holding the bottle to her mouth. She had no choice but to take two small sips as he held the bottle in his hand.

Although she didn’t drink much at night, she had a lot of drinks. She really didn’t have much desire to drink water.

Shivam frowned slightly and approached her with a gentle gaze. “Drink a little more.”

“I can’t. I really can’t drink anymore.”

“Just one more mouthful.”

“I can’t drink anymore.” Isha felt as though her stomach was filled to the brim.

Shivam took back the mineral water bottle unhurriedly and took a sip. Just as Isha was about to heave a sigh of relief, the man’s breath invaded her nose. His thin lips were soft as he made her drink another mouthful of water.

Isha grunted. This last mouthful made her want to cry.

In the distance, a flash of light recorded the scene in front.

Then, Shivam’s car drove away.

When the phone containing the video was placed on Yash Pratap’s desk, he angrily pushed the phone to the floor.

The phone shattered into pieces.

“What a bastard! He actually likes men! What did Kareena teach him to lead the Pratap family astray?!” No matter how much Yash Pratap disliked Shivam, he couldn’t tolerate his son messing around like this.

But in the video, Shivam’s appearance was clearly shown. The person he was hugging and kissing was also clearly a man.

He really didn’t expect his son to do something so perverse.

Tapas Pratap sat at the side with a faint smile on his face.

Yash Pratap could accept that his son had countless women, but he could not accept that he liked men. Especially since he already had a bad impression of that son, it was even harder for him to like him now.

Tapas Pratap smiled and said, “Dad, isn’t this good? Now that we’re secretly buying the shares of Pratap Group and roping in the people who support us, how many people will turn against Shivam and how badly will the shares of Pratap Group fall if we release the news of Shivam liking men?”

Yash Pratap’s worry turned to joy. “You can’t blame me for taking back Pratap Group. How can we hand over such a huge family business to such a person? How can we let him destroy the future of the entire family? Contact Gaurav. We have to act as soon as possible!”

“I’ve been in contact with Gaurav, and everything is normal,” Tapas Pratap said. “I’ll collect more evidence. Shivam will definitely be abandoned by everyone!”

Soon, a piece of explosive news hit the public eye.

The leader of Pratap Group, Shivam, who had always been mysterious and low-key, had gone on a date with a young hunk late at night. He was on the hot search list and directly occupied the first spot.

This trending topic was very eye-catching and quickly attracted the attention of many people.

First of all, the words ‘the head of Pratap Group’ were enough to arouse everyone’s interest.

As one of the largest corporations in S Country, Pratap Group was active in various fields and controlled half of the country’s economy.

The head of Pratap Group had always been mysterious. Many years ago, after Old Master Pratap retired, Yash Pratap only appeared briefly. After that, the person in charge never appeared in public again.

However, the entire group’s performance was improving day by day. Their achievements swept through the entire country and even the entire world.

However, no one knew who the person in charge was.

Those who saw the news were shocked. [F*ck!!! The person in charge is so young!]

[Oh my God, what kind of peerless handsome man is this? Although he’s only sitting in the car, his profile, the line of his nose, and the perfect curve of his face… What kind of peerless handsome man is this?! Is he really not some top actor in the entertainment industry?]

[We need confirmation!]

[Shivam Pratap, so this handsome man’s name is Shivam Pratap! I’m crying. He’s such a winner in life! He’s already so powerful at such a young age.]

[I’m so impressed!]

The effect was different from what Yash  Pratap wanted. The first group of people in the comments were all obsessing over Shivam’s looks.

And this trend was spreading.

[I wonder if you still remember Rudra Pratap? He’s good-looking enough, right? How can Rudra Pratap’s brother not be good-looking as well?]

[Shivam Pratap, please verify it on Twitter!]

[I beg Pratap Group’s official Twitter account to authenticate this handsome man’s name!]

However, after being attacked by his good looks for a while, everyone’s attention finally turned to the other word—’guy’.

It was no wonder that everyone didn’t pay much attention to this guy at the beginning. It was just that this guy’s overall temperament was a little weak. Shivam’s aura was tough and proud, and it was especially easy to attract attention.

[This other guy is also very good-looking!]

[I’m also into this little brother. He looks so gentle and cute.]

[The little puppy belongs to the wolfdog. Sigh, what sins have we girls committed? Why don’t we get such chances?]

[Please tell me his name.]

[What a beautiful love!]

[Such good-looking men belong with each other!]

[I’m crying. This is just like my favorite drama. Look at the way Shivam looks at the little puppy. He’s so charming and lustful. I’ve already imagined an entire book about them. It’s so exciting!]

[Please write it for everyone to enjoy!]

[I’ll spend a lot of money to subscribe to the imaginative content!]

[Quick, quick, quick. Someone is already writing about this ship. They’re called the most beautiful ship. Let’s all read the cool novel!]

For a moment, everyone was just fangirling over the new ship.

Yash Pratap was furious when he saw these comments. This was far from what he had imagined.

Tapas Pratap was already prepared. “Brainless people are all like this. They can accept anything. But the bad influence from this news will only get worse.”

Yash Pratap glanced at Pratap Group’s shares. They were indeed on the decline.

And because of this, those from Pratap Group whom he had roped in and were waiting to make a decision would definitely make a move soon.

In the eyes of many of the older generation, this was an immoral thing to do.

In particular, they always liked to mix personal feelings with work. They especially liked to use such things to attack others.

Yash Pratap and Tapas Pratap deliberately dug up dirt on Shivam and finally found this. Their intentions were indeed vicious.

However, the people on the internet were enjoying themselves. They did not care about companies, stocks, or style. They only liked to see beautiful people sweetly dating each other.

Soon, someone pointed out: [Is that little brother called Ish Pratap? The one who filmed a game advertisement with Isha Sharma previously? Although he’s not very popular, he was also famous for his beauty back then.]

[Yes, yes, I testify that it’s really him! I’ve compared the two men in detail. They really are identical.]

[No wonder I haven’t seen any new works from Ish Pratap. Previously, I thought that he was being suppressed. I didn’t expect him to be focused on dating.]

[I totally understand. Who wants to work when they’re in such a sweet relationship?]

[I’m so envious. I want to have such a sweet relationship too!]

[I’m crying. I was supporting Ish Pratap and Isha Sharma. You guys have really torn my ship apart.]

[To the friend above, come and ship the new couple!]

When Isha woke up early in the morning, she received a Whatsapp message from Rudra Pratap.

She rubbed her eyes and opened the message. Rudra Pratap’s voice sounded, “Sister Ishi, you really didn’t expect my brother to have found a new lover last night, did you?”

Isha sat up with a start.

Shivam sat up as well. He wrapped his broad shoulders around her and rested his chin on her shoulder.

Hearing Rudra Pratap’s words, he reached for his phone and replied: “If it’s possible to produce clones, this news might be real.”

“Hahahaha, it’s really Brother.” Rudra Pratap laughed. “You’ll know when you see the photos.”

He immediately sent a few photos. As he knew that the person in the photos was actually Isha, he teased her.

Shivam opened the photos, and Isha looked at them too.

Both of them could not help but laugh when they saw the scene that was captured last night.

Last night, because Isha was wearing men’s clothes, she didn’t pay as much attention as usual. The paparazzi were really professional.

Even though she was dressed as a man in the photos, she was indeed quite compatible with Shivam. She just didn’t know what the netizens would say about Shivam.

“Let me read the comments first.” Isha snatched the phone from Shivam and wanted to read the comments first. At the same time, she asked Meera to quickly suppress the news. As for Pratap Group’s public relations, it was very simple.

Shivam was an outsider in the industry. Isha didn’t want him to be criticized. She worked for this industry, so it was fine she was mocked.

But Shivam had done something wrong and had to bear the infamy.

However, when she clicked on her phone, what did she see?

Why were they all talking about the most beautiful couple?

What fairy couple?

Someone had actually produced a comic for two, one that was not suitable for children to read!

The comments were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. Some were envious of Shivam, while others were envious of Ish Pratap.

There were also a bunch of people asking for Shivam and Ish Pratap’s contact details.

There were even a small number of men who recommended themselves.

How did they have the nerve?

When Shivam took the phone from Isha, he happened to see the comic. He said calmly, “This position is not bad.”

Isha : “…”

‘That’s the wrong focus, right?’

In addition to these, some other information was released.

Basically, Shivam really liked Ish Pratap. For example, there were Ish Pratap’s photos and figurines in his office.

This was also what Yash Pratap had found out from someone in Pratap Group.

Speaking of which, the photos and figurines of Ish Pratap in Shivam’s room were given to him by Isha during the lucky draw on Twitter.

Seeing this, Isha slowly raised her head and looked at Shivam. “I have a question. Why do you have Ish Pratap’s photos and figurines in your office?”

Even if Shivam wanted to put out some photos, he should put photos of her true self. There was no reason for him to pick photos of her as Ish Pratap.

“You delivered them to me yourself.”

Isha : “…”

After a moment, she realized. “So, you’re the lucky audience member I drew the last time? The one whose Twitter account is called Isha 001?”

Shivam nodded.

“What kind of fate is this? I randomly picked you out of tens of millions of people?”

Shivam smiled. “What kind of fate is this? We went to the Civil Affairs Bureau together out of millions of people.”

Isha threw herself into his arms. “I want to ship us too!”

After being in his arms for a while, she asked, “So how do we handle the current situation?”

“I’ll take care of it,” Shivam said casually.

In fact, he was quite satisfied with the fact that the entire internet was talking about him and Isha as a couple, even though no one knew that it was Isha.

There was a very subtle sense of satisfaction.

He didn’t care what the outside world said. However, Pratap Group had been around for so many years, and there was no lack of stubborn old shareholders who treated this kind of stuff with disdain. They won’t be able to stop themselves from nagging at him.

......

Shivam mainly wanted to deal with this group of people.

He quickly went to the office.

As expected, this matter had already taken root.

Those employees who usually didn’t dare to talk about Shivam couldn’t help but say, “I really didn’t expect this. No wonder there have never been women around the president. It turns out that he likes men. I really couldn’t tell.”

“I heard he’s already found a surrogate for a baby.”

“But it’s good. The man I can’t have doesn’t belong to another woman. I’m content.”

“Hahahaha, I agree.”

Hari followed behind Shivam. When he heard these comments, his face immediately darkened. He wondered if Mr. Pratap would lose his temper today because of this.

He stole a few glances. Fortunately, Mr. Pratap’s emotions were quite stable as if he was not troubled by this matter at all.

Thank goodness.

Besides, the employees were only discussing it quietly. Moreover, most of them had a kind attitude. The entire company’s situation was quite normal.

Shivam took the elevator to the top floor. Some senior executives and shareholders were already waiting there. The security guards were maintaining order.

They had long seen Mr. Pratap bringing the delivery man to his office. Initially, no one dared to think too much, but now, they couldn’t help but size up Mr. Pratap.

Why, alas, did quality men always prefer other men?

Security Guard A instinctively crossed his arms and looked worried.

Security Guard B said, “Even if Mr. Pratap likes men, he won’t like you and me, right?”

Security Guard A thought that made sense and let go of his hands.

On the other hand, the higher-ups and shareholders all had solemn expressions. Their gazes followed Shivam as if he had done something treasonous and said, “Mr. Pratap, the impact of this incident is very bad. Actually, women are really quite good. Why do you have to—”

Shivam stopped in his tracks. “This is a company. Can we talk about private matters after work?”

“Mr. Pratap, even if it’s a private matter, it’s still the business of the entire Pratap Group. I’m worried that the entire Pratap Group will be destroyed due to your current situation.”
