After all, I have pissed off the grey eye monster.  

My head started to hurt thinking about the consequences I need to face because of my actions. I need to rest very badly to stop all these thoughts from rising in my mind. I decided to sleep beside Isabella who had already drifted to sleep. She has not slept the entire night. I slept well and woke up only when I felt hungry. It was already lunchtime. I change my clothes and hide all the visible marks on my skin before going down. 

"Sorry I slept in'' I apologised when I reached the dining table. 

"No worries dear. Isabela told us that you were having a bad headache. I was about to send food to your room but you came down,'' Mrs. Vilian said with a smile on her face as I took my seat beside my mother. 

"How are you feeling now," grandma asked me. 

"Better," I said with a smile on my face. We all had lunch together while chatting about how well yesterday's engagement party was done. After that, they started talking about my and the head chef's wedding arrangement. They had decided to hold a small engagement party for us after tomorrow and then our wedding will be held two days after it. Now we all were seated in the living room. Both the moms were discussing all the arrangements. 

"There is so much to do in so little time. I need a whole month to plan a proper grand wedding for my son and daughter-in-law" Mrs. Vilian huffed. 

"Don't worry, I'm sure you will handle it well and I'm there too," my mother said with an encouraging smile. 

"Thank God you are here," Mrs. Vilian said with a little relieved smile on her face. Both of them have become good friends in the past few days. 

"You don't need to stress yourself so much. I just want a small wedding with my near and dear ones. It doesn't need to be grand" I said with a small smile on my lips.  

"No dear we Vilians do all the things grand. You don't worry about anything. After all, it's my first grandson's wedding. It needs to be grand" grandma said while looking at us. 

"I will take a few days off from the hospital so I'm here to help too," Isabela said with a smile on her face. 

"Yes, everything is sorted," Mrs. Vilian said with a grin on her face. My eyes fell on my dad who was sitting quietly. Somehow my mom had the same expression on her face but she was hiding behind her smile. My eyebrows furrowed looking at their faces. What's wrong? Are they not happy with me getting married? 

"See, the groom is here too. Come we were just talking about your wedding preparation" grandma said suddenly making my body go stiff. I felt his heated gaze on me. I didn't care to look his way. From the corner of my eyes, I saw he was about to sit beside me but Isabella sat on it pushing me toward the end of the sofa. 

"My seat," She said and was now sitting between us. I looked at him out of the corner of my eye. He glared at his sister before sitting beside her while putting his hand on the head of the couch. My body stiffened a bit when I felt his fingers playing with my hair. I shifted my body a little, stopping him from doing it. 

"I would like to say something," my dad said, getting everyone's attention. He cleared his throat before speaking. My mom squeezed his hand to encourage him when she saw the hesitation on his face.
