The Hired Wife

Hello everyone... Thank you so much for the comments and vote for the previous story. This was supposed to be a small story, that I thought I will finish in half a day, but this got so long that it took me 4 days to finish it. I hope you guys will like it.

Warning: I have not much medical and legal knowledge. All the blunders in this story, please consider it creative liberty hehehe.

"1 lakh for one year." Mohan tells Pragya.

"Dad!" Abhishek calls him in anger.

"Keep quiet, Abhishek." Mohan tells him sternly. Then turning to Pragya, he tells her, "Even if you wish you can't see this much money in this short span. It's a good deal."

Pragya nervously looks at Mohan and then Abhishek, the man she loved.

"Just stop it, Dad." Abhishek requests him.

"Your fiancé refused to marry you, Abhishek! As she doesn't want to marry a man like you! Where am I to find a replacement in this last minute?" Mohan asks him furiously.

"I just don't want to marry!"

"Already people look at you like an animal in zoo. And add to that, a broken marriage! I won't have our family be humiliated like that." Mohan tells him. Then turning to Pragya, he says "Do you agree?"

Pragya turns to look at Abhishek and sees him helplessly looking down, he would be humiliated. She couldn't see him like that.

"Fine!5 lakhs." Mohan says.

"Okay." Pragya whispers as she looked at Abhishek.

Hearing her, Abhishek turns to her in shock, then it turned into pain and finally anger.

"My lawyer is bringing the contract marriage paper. You need to sign the prenup too." Mohan tells her getting to business. "And don't even think that you will be his wife. This is just to save face. You are chosen because you are young and you joined only recently, so no one here knows that you are a maid here."

Pragya nods as she looked away from Abhishek's face as her eyes filled up.

"You are a maid here and you'll remain a maid here. Just think of yourself as Abhishek's personal maid. From now on, you'll take care him. Got it?"

Abhishek mutters furiously under his breath and walks out in anger.

Pragya nods.

"You won't tell your family that I hired you as my son's wife for a year. Don't want those people coming to claim relation to us. got it?"

Pragya nods.

"I'll send your salary every month so they don't come here asking for your salary."

Mohan steps close to Pragya and stares down at her, "My son is not desperate, but if you get pregnant, then let me make it clear to you, that neither you nor your child will have any rights on our property. It is going to be on the contract so don't think you can claim rights on my son with a baby."

After signing tons of papers, Pragya was dressed up as a bride and took to the mandap. She had sat there with her head down.

The moment all the guests left, Abhishek had walked off to his room while Pragya went to the kitchen. She changed her clothes and not knowing what to do, she started cleaning up the kitchen. The rest of the servants were giving her curious and sympathetic looks. Pragya ignores everyone and continued to do her job. Hearing someone walk in, Pragya turns around and sees Mohan behind her.
