Chapter 34

After few moments of silence Priya spoke up.

" Adonis?" Priya called out softly and hesitantly.

"Hmm?" Adonis asked still looking at the road.

" You didn't have to do so much." Priya spoke up hesitantly.

" Hu?" Adonis looked at her confused.

" I mean.... This dress all this jwellery looks really expensive. Why did you spend so much?" Priya spoke up making Adonis a bit upset.

" What are you saying Priya? You are my wife! I know you don't like to have expensive things but I want to pamper and spoil you. You are...... " Adonis spoke, sadness laced in his voice. He almost confessed to her but stopped himself and hitting his tongue in his inner cheek.

" Uummm...... Ok ......" Priya somehow managed to spoke up.

Her heart was beating fast hearing Adonis's words. Face heat up. She bit her lower lips. Silence again spread to the car. Adonis looked at her silently. He was a bit disappointed but when his eyes fell on her face he couldn't help but melt away.

After 1 hour of silent ride and stealing glances they finally arrived at the venue. It was a private party so no media was there. Adonis got out and went to the other side. He opened the door and held out his hand. Priya's heart was beating fast seeing his gentleman nature. Though she couldn't help but to think that all of this for the outer world. Adonis didn't mean any of that. She was feeling a strange warm and pain in her heart.

She gladly accepted his hand and went out of the car smiling. Adonis gave the key to the staff to park it in the parking area. Then Adonis took her with him and entered the venue. Many people was greeting them.

But Adonis clenched his jaw when he saw the person who he disgust. Mr. Alex Jones. He was the son of Jones industries but unlike Adonis he was a rich spoilt brat. Also always have a jealousy or rivalry with him. He always tries to ruin or snatch away what was Adonis's.

Seeing him Adonis snaked his hands around Priya's waist, holding it tight in a protective manner.

Priya was startled a bit by the sudden touch. But she relaxed know who was it. But she sensed the tension the person's touch. She looked at his face and noticed the tensed look and clenched jaw. Her eyes followed where her husband looking and felt weird vibes by the way the person looking at both of them.

"Hello Adonis. How are you? And who is this beauty you are holding?" Alex spoke.

" Well I am holding my wife. And I am fine. Now excuse us." Adonis spoke in an irritated tone

" Oh Adonis wait! We are friends. Don't you gonna introduce your friend to your wife?" Alex said smirking.

" Well we are not friends. But only for your shameless courtesy meet my wife Priyadarshini Wilson. And Priya this is Mr. Alex Jones. " Adonis spoke without stutter and struggle her name making Priya a bit shocked but she didn't showed it.

" Nice to meet you beautiful." Alex said and took her hand and kissed it. But Priya felt disgusted the way Alex touched her or looking at her.
