The Billionaire's Bride [ Rewritten]

Part 10 | Apology

I slammed the file onto the table and leaned back in my chair, my shoulders sinking as exhaustion washed over me like a heavy tide. But it wasn't just tiredness weighing me down.

It was desperation. Guilt.

A quiet ache that had been sitting in my chest for an entire week.

A whole week since I had heard her voice.

Damn it. We live under the same roof, yet I barely even see her.

"I swear this is too much. A whole week of ignoring me?" I groaned, rubbing my forehead in frustration.

" You should have thought that before yelling at her. " Arjun muttered lazily, munching on his French fries.

His words hit harder than I expected.

Because he wasn't wrong.
She's ignoring me like I don't even exist.

And honestly, I deserve it.

I sank deeper into my chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.

The very next day Arjun had told me the truth - Naira had only entered my room to keep an important file. She wasn't sneaking around. She hadn't meant to invade my space.

And I had exploded at her for nothing.

I still remember that moment clearly.
The way she froze when I raised my voice. Those beautiful eyes of hers...
Slowly filling with tears.

A sharp pang hit my chest.

God... I'm such an idiot.

"That you are!" Arjun said immediately.
I raised my brows at him.

"An absolute idiot," he finished with a grin

Without warning, I grabbed a cushion and threw it straight at him.
"Either help me fix this or get out of my cabin."

"No free service, buddy," he replied casually.

I rolled my eyes. "Fine. How about exclusive weekend party tickets?"

He smirked. "Now we're talking."
Without hesitation, I tossed my BMW keys to him. "You have them. Now Talk."

"Simple," he said. "Apologize."

"That's easy." I shrugged and pulled out my phone, already typing.
