Mr. and Mrs. Kapoor [Completed]

XVI

"Mom! I am not coming back and it's final", Shreya said firmly on the phone.

On the other side of the phone, her step mom could only frown at her.

"Shreya!! Just come back. I have found a really good guy for you", Devika told, trying to keep her calm. She didn't know yet that Shreya is already married and Shreya was sure that if she gets to know, she would probably have a heart attack because Yuvan is a millionaire. Shreya didn't tell her because her marriage was just a contract and nothing more. "The guy is a bartender and earns quite a good amount of money. You guys are perfect for each other and he will take a good care of you. I am doing all this for your betterment, bacha".

Shreya snorted and said, "If that guy is so good then why don't you tell Rhea to marry him??"

"Because the boy doesn't like Rhea", Devika reasoned.

"I would let my daughter marry that poor bastard?? Never in a million years", Devika thought to herself.

"I don't care about it. I don't want to become a wife yet and listen once again, I am not coming back ever. I have asked someone to bring my belongings from the Arora mansion", Shreya told angrily.

"You wanna leave the Arora mansion forever? Fine, I will not stop you", Devika said sharply. "But before that return all the money that I have ever spent on you. I have raised you from a small kid to a stubborn girl. I just want my money back".

Shreya was shocked to hear this. How can her step mom ask for something like this??

"Fine then! I have worked for you all like a servant for all these years and for that I should get a lot of money too but I will negotiate it, considering you let me live under your roof. I will work and I will give you your all the money back", Shreya told sternly.

"Shreya, you!!", Devika muttered angrily. "What's your damn problem Shreya?! What do you want?! I know you went to the production house because you want to be better than Ridhi and you have your evil eyes on her fiance, Dev".

Shreya closed her eyes, breathing out loudly, trying to calm herself. "Mom you are thinking too much"

Shreya didn't even try to justify herself because she knows it is pointless. Devika would keep on insulting her no matter what she says in her defence.

"What do you think of yourself?? ", Devika scolded. "You are worthless. You can't even compete with her still you think Dev would be attracted to you. If you want that I don't insult you anymore then back off from the film that you are going to do".

This was the last straw for her. She could not hear anymore. "Now! You listen clearly", Shreya shouted. "This is my job and I will not back off just because you asked me to".

"You-", Devika tried to speak but Shreya didn't give her a chance to say anything more.

"And if you are so scared that I might snatch Dev away from Ridhi then go try to make your daughter better. You are too insecure about her that she will be left out because of me. If I am worthless then why are you so insecure??", Shreya yelled and cut the call.

She turned around and saw Yuvan standing there. Those hazel eyes were watching her intently.

"Why don't you make some sound while walking at least I would know that you are around", she said, irritatedly.

"Walking without making any sound is a good manner", he told calmly.

"Of course", Shreya said dramatically. "You are the most mannered person in the whole world and I am the worst one. Thank god we are gonna take divorce one day because I would go crazy if someone would continue to teach me manners all my life and try to look down on me all the time".

"But it's true though", Yuvan said, clasping his hands behind his back.

"What?! "

"That I am the most well mannered and you are the worst. It's very true"

Shreya glared at him.

Yuvan wanted to ask her something but hesitated a bit.

"Do you-um- do you like Dev?? ", he asked cautiously.

Shreya went pale. It looked like she was sad on mentioning Dev's name.

"Are you not feeling awkward that you are talking to your wife about whom she likes and whom not?? ", she asked, gulping after.

"No"

Now, what could she say?? She decided on telling him.

"Fine! I think I can tell you because you don't know him. You know, everyone is not lucky that the person whom they like would like them back. I and him were friends for quite a long but damn the person whom he liked was not me. He liked Ridhi, my step sister".

Their eyes met. Hazel met black. For a moment she felt like Yuvan could see deep under her soul.

"If you want then, I can help you get him", Yuvan told.

"Get him?? What do you mean? ", she asked, squinting her eyes.

"Whatever you heard", Yuvan said. His ego, clearly audible in his words. "I can help you making him like you back. You both can be happy forever and I can help you with that"

"How can you do that?? ", she asked.

"Umm... I can break his engagement off with you sister. I can force him to leave her and be with you", Yuvan offered.

"Leave it", Shreya said. "Can you just make them get married soon?? I hate when people look at me like I want to break them apart and have Dev all for myself".

Yuvan scrunched up his brows and said, "This can happen too. But are you sure?? "

"I am already married", Shreya said immediately.

"It doesn't matter", he said, shrugging. "I have already told you that I forced you to marry me so you can ask me for any favor and I will give you everything you will ask for".

"Love is a small part of life. I want to fulfill my dreams first. I want to be an actress".

"Okay then, but if you ever decide to change your decision, you can tell me about it", he said casually.
