A Tale Of Schemes... #1,#2,#3

Chapter 47

*Vikranth Pov*

I rubbed my forehead hearing Prathap's shouting at why he isn't allowed to live with Anny.

This is not shocking for me as Anny already approached me earlier for this matter but what is shocking is that he is fighting for this in front of Shrishti.

Already over his more than a decade crush after becoming a fake fiance to Anny for three months?

"So, what are you guys talking about?" Shrishti asked as she is still not understanding his words.

"He wants Ms. Anitha to shift to his place and I am against it. So, he is mad at me for being against that and asking for a reason." I explained clearly and what I found is her surprised look.

"What? Do you want to live together with Ms. Anny? Why? Do you like her?" She asked genuinely with a smile but when I glanced at Prathap, I know it is the right thing to not allow them to stay together.

"I... I... I want her to live with me. Why is it wrong? Why are you forcing her to do what you wish?" I shook my head at his outburst.

"So, you don't like her?" Shrishti asked in a confused tone but before he could open his mouth we found Kanika and Anny climbing down the stairs and walking towards the door.

There was a brief pause but Prathap immediately rushed behind her calling her name but she completely ignored him.

I sighed standing up and followed everyone out only to find Prathap trying to ask Kanika's help with this matter.

"You need to be honest near her unlike how you are right now near me. You don't mean it? You mean it more than anything right now. You just didn't expect her to hear that. So, think clearly and be honest near her." I nodded accepting her words.

However, when she turned around and realized that I heard her she calmly explained how she talked like that as Anny's friend and not as my wife.

As usual, sticking to the rules in the contract. Even I forgot a few rules but I am sure if I woke her up in the middle of the night she could recite all of them at once.

I continued to stare at her even when she already walked into the kitchen and turned to find confused stares from both Shrishti and Prathap.

"So, you actually like her?" I asked ignoring their questions about Kanika's words they just heard.

"Seems like he does like her. I never saw him running like this before and let's not forget the guilty look she had before reacting to her presence." Shrishti commented.

"Even I think so but I don't know whether he knows about it." I added nodding at her.

"Of course not! Didn't I already tell you how stupid he is when it comes to the opposite gender?" She asked shaking her head.

"This is really not the time for you both to analyze me." Prathap commented but we just shrugged at his words.

"Go right now and confess your love for her before everyone. Like that movie style and I am sure she will love it." Shrishti assured him.

"You don't even know her. And you are not at all right." He said and a smile slipped from her face making me frown.

"Don't even think about it. If she doesn't let you in after you reach the hotel, then the result will be another scandal that will harm both my agency and her popularity. They can convert this issue into anything." I ordered.

"In the meantime decide on your feelings and moving in together will not happen until you get a grasp of it." Saying that I glanced at my watch while counting how many minutes passed since she walked into the kitchen.
