The Brutal Beast ✔️

Part 40

Hey Pearlies, sorry to disappoint you all with the previous chapter. I tried my best to write Manan chapters but I couldn't fit everything into a single part. I wanted to give some clues in the backstory so that you can connect with them while revealing the suspense. So, here is another update from my side as a big sorry. There will be back to back chapters from tomorrow. So sorry to waste your time Pearlies 🤗

....

I waited for Harshad in the dining hall as well as my room but I didn't spot him for a while. I have a lot to speak with him and here I am not even getting his glimpse. Now that I filled my tummy I am more than energetic to chat for hours and get ready for another round of food.

My LukFast was Bread with sweet, red paste. It was good and I ate 8 bread slices till the servant stopped me. They didn't serve it just for me but they kept it in the middle so that everyone could have their share. Well, it's not my problem, it's their fault for not informing me earlier.

I was about to step out of the room but remembered that I am still dressed in my robe. It is not presentable to walk around the mansion so as a smart lady I did a makeshift dress. I tore the pillow cover for my head and arms, another pillow cover for my waist. Now it's a cute top and skirt. Damn, girl, I must be fashionology surgeon.

I walked out of the mansion and saw Niyonika sitting on the sofa and ordering the servants around her. It was noon and she must be giving her specific food orders. She saw me walking towards Harshad's room and stopped me.

"Where are you going?"

"To meet Harshad." I said.

"Why? You didn't perform the cleaning ritual as I said and now you want to meet my son?" She said anger clearly evident on her face.

I have to divert her and escape this situation if not I could not speak with Harshad till we get married. "Eww, my queen your mind is so dirty. I am not going to meet him for that thing! I have very important thing to speak with him."

"Tell me, I can convey it to him."

"It's a secret between him and I as soon to be married." I said with a fake smile.

"No problem. My son has no secrets with me. He is pure angel who doesn't know how to keep secrets."

I had no choice but to tell her the context I am about to speak with Harshad. "I would like to speak about my burnt mansion witness, 25 million cash, and commitment to the marriage."

"What the hell is that? I didn't understand even a single word you just spoke!"

"That's the reason let me meet him, my queen. Only we both can understand this topic." I pleaded but she did not agree.

Instead she called out for Harshad who came out of his room and bowed before his mother. "Good afternoon Mama. How can I help you."

"See, that's my son. Always thinks about helping me." She said signalling with her head.

Harshad looked up and saw me with a surprise. "Nandini, sorry I didn't notice you here. Actually, when I stand in front of my mother I forget the world. After all my mother is an angel."

"See, that's the value he gives to his mother. So don't even dream about taking him away from me. My son will always be my son."

I don't know why but I am feeling uncomfortable with this scenario. Will this be my life after marriage?

Harshad smiled. "Mama can I speak with Nandini for one minute. Only if you like ofcourse."

"Sure my son,I have complete trust in you. But I seriously doubt these women who are so trying to manipulate my angel child. Don't get into her words angel and tell me everything as soon as she leaves." Niyonika said ruffling his hair and walking out not before glaring at me.
