Caged Princess and The King

5. Revenge

Devansh

After a conference call, I returned to my room and saw her standing there. I was about to make my presence known but her phone went off and she answered it with teary eyes.

She is a beautiful woman. Her angelic beauty can make anyone go insane but I am Devansh Singh Rajawat and I know my motives very well. But what I did at the wedding altar was a surprise for me too. When I saw her walking down the aisle with her eyes puffed red with tear strains I felt a tug in my heart. It was as if I could feel her emotions.

And when our eyes met, a smile formed on my lips automatically seeing her smile. That one smile of hers made my heart thudded in my chest and I forwarded my hand to her without thinking. The moment she placed her soft hand in my rough one a serene warmth engulfed me. I was lost in her beautiful eyes throughout the wedding even though I maintained a stoic face.

"Kaka sa please don't cry!" she said in her sweet voice. Kaka sa? That fucking bastard! She is her weakness. I shouldn't become soft on her. I reminded myself.

Her Kaka sa's crying is feeding my ego.

"No Kaka sa none of this is your fault and you didn't break any promise you made to Papa." She said controlling her sobs. A part of my heart wants to stop all this and engulf her in a hug but my brain is not ready to let that bastard off the hook so easily. 

"I am really fine Kaka sa. And it is only a matter of one year. Till then promise me that you will not do anything that will send all our efforts for these many years in vain." She said assuring him.

But what does she mean by it being a matter of one year? What are they planning to do in this year? I will not let any of their plans succeed. And she is not going anywhere even after a year. She became mine and she will remain mine! 

After she finally consoled and convinced the other person she turned back and looked at me.

"Aap..app" (you..) she said getting nervous and scared.

"It's my room," I said in a monotone and walked into my closet to get changed. I changed into a T-shirt and night pants and sat on the bed with my laptop. She was standing in the same place for the whole time.

"Can I use your bathroom?" She asked in a low voice.

I nodded in response and she sprinted in. Do I look that scary? And why was she asking for permission to use the bathroom? Why is she being so submissive? 

She came out nearly after two hours, now wearing her nightwear.

"Where will I sleep?" she asked again.

"On the floor," I replied in my cold tone.

She just nodded, arranged her bed on the floor, and slept on the floor making me sigh. Why is she so submissive? Is she acting or is she really that naive and calm? And why is it making me restless seeing her sleep on the floor? Can she be able to withstand the coldness of the tiles? Should I ask her to come and sleep on the bed? 

But my revenge against her Kaka sa? And she is helping him too! What should I do now?

I thought she would throw tantrums or do something but she gave no reaction. Is she ready to put up with everything for her Kaka or is this her plan to make me feel guilty? I covered her with a thick quilt and dozed off to sleep after a while on my comfortable bed.

Meera

"Where will I sleep?" I asked him.

"On the floor." was his cold reply.

To be honest, I didn't expect anything better from him given the fact that he is Kaka sa's choice and his behavior at the wedding made it evident. So I quietly arranged my bedding on the floor. I don't want to argue or fight with him.
