The Billionaire's Bride

Chapter Thirteen : I'm leaving

Piyashi's Pov

Well,his loss!He will be lonely,not me!I mean I am kind of missing him but I have Ritu,Tina and their delicious food.I have also bought chocolate,ice creams and the rest of the junk foods.

Now that he has decided to avoid me  like I have a contagious disease,I watch movies along with Ritu and Tina.What does he think?Now that I'm not seeing his handsome face, I'm going to die!
Ha! I'm still living and enjoying my time.In fact, he's the one looking miserable.

He said 'Don't come near me unless I call you' and I didn't.He said 'don't disturb me' and I didn't.But I still feel bad.... it's like when you find a kitten stuck in a thorn bush.The kitten doesn't want help and tries to scratch you but you still feel sorry for it.You just can't leave the adorable kitten there!

I feel like Aryan is like that kitten.He is not bad...I feel like he is just lonely and misunderstood.My eyes find something on the table and I smile as an idea hits me.
If he won't let me help directly then I will just have to do it indirectly.

Aryan's Pov

She completely stopped.These past few days have been back to normal.I felt that giving her that ultimatum was a little too much but  I knew if I didn't do it then,she will have control over me.

I  wasn't angry with the fact that she knew about her sister's plans.I'm a little grateful now that she took her sister's place and married me.Even though she is immature,clumsy,bold and impulsive...she's not a gold digger like her sister.If she was ,she would've used the money that I sent her or she could divorce me.She  would get billions and I'm still trying to figure out why she's like this!

It's like the calm before the storm.I feel like it's  nothing but calm and peace in the moments spent with her and now I'm still waiting for the storm to take place.

Now,she listens to me.She doesn't disturb me and stays away from me.I don't even see her cooking with the maids in the mornings anymore.
I don't hear her laughing and  I don't see her smiling.

I'm back to being a workaholic.That time when she  pushed me to the ground and I twisted my ankle was the first day that I took time  off work.My PA tried calling me that day but my phone was on silent.When I came back the next day,everyone was looking at me weirdly.I'm also human...I also take days off .What is so strange about that? They should just focus on their work!

As soon as I come back home at night ,I feel something is amiss.I mean every other day,I see that the house is clean and neat.Everything is put in their place and not a dust spec anywhere.

Today there's empty packets,popcorn thrown everywhere.The living room is a mess!I  look around,feeling like I'm being watched.

Should I get down in case she tries to tackle me!?But this time.... intentionally!She might try to do that.She is very unpredictable.Living with her is like living life on edge...

Then I hear footsteps and she steps in the living room with  a steaming mug of coffee.I open my mouth to reprimand her about the mess but then my words get stuck in my throat as her warm brown eyes meet mine.

She looks  stunning in the dim light and I involuntarily step forward...what am I doing!?

She smiles ,"Oh.You're back!I would've cleaned this up before you came here but you came early."That smile...!

I   force myself to turn away,"Hm.I'll be in my study.Don't—"

"—disturb  you?"she smiles,"Don't worry.I won't."Is she up to something?

"Hm."

I walk back to my study and start working.I hear a knock at the door and my eyebrows furrow.I told her not to disturb me and that I  don't want to see her in my study.

"Sir,can I come in?"I hear Ritu say.

"Hm.What do you want?"I ask and she comes in with a plate of food.

"Sir,mam asked me to bring this for you.She has a note along with it."

Note?What is she upto now!?

"Leave it here."

She puts the plate and the note on my desk and leaves.I open the note to read ;

Aryan,

I know that you said that I must not disturb you and that I must stay away from you and I must not come into your study and office.Technically Ritu did all that and there's no rules about writing letters to my husband.Now eat your food like a good boy.

From,
Your  wife Piyashi 🙂

I reread the letter about 4-5 times and then I realise that I have a full smile on my face.What am I doing?What is she doing?Why is she doing this ,especially after how I treated her!?

In frustration I squash the letter and throw it.Then I walk around the table,pick it up and put it in my drawer.
I should be angry, especially after the last sentence but I'm not.I'm  amused and I feel like I'm getting used to her.And I'm not sure that I dislike it any more.

I smile, thinking about the note I sent him.Did he get it?Did he read it?He must've crumpled it and thrown it away.Anyway I need to be away from him since that is what he wants me to do.

I can't force him to talk to me and I can force him to accept me as his wife.So I have made a decision and maybe I'm hoping that he will stop me from going but...I don't think that he will.A few days ago I booked my flight and I didn't tell anyone accept Ritu and Tina.

I start stuffing clothes into my bag and sigh.He wants this so I will give him what he wants.After packing ,I check if I got all my documents for my flight and I nod in approval.

Should I  tell him?Will he stop me?Will he miss me?
Ha!What are you thinking,Piyashi!?He won't care!It won't make a difference to him.

I roll my heavy suitcase down the stairs, heading for the living room.Aryan looks  up from his laptop as he hears the suitcase dragging against the stairs.

Aryan frowns as he sees me walking towards him with the suitcase.
He eyes the suitcase in my hand."What are you doing?"
I breath in and out slowly,"I'm leaving."
