INSIDE OBEROI MANSION

Author's POV

"You know Ri, I was the one that won this game against Kabir ji and I'm sure tu hi jeetegi," Aisha said

"Aishu, ye banda mujhe aise ghur raha hai jaise kachha chaba jaega" Riya whispered to Aisha's ears. After she saw that Akshat was throwing daggers at her through his eyes, the reality was he couldn't take his eyes off of her, all his life he had imagined this moment, with his princess, wearing his name's mangalsutra and sindoor, and right now she is standing there with a heavy lehenga and a red dupatta over her head, and her face is red because of smudged blush and vermillion,

"Are shaant reh, kuch nahi hoga" Aisha replied.

"Chalo bacho, hum wo anguthi wali rasam kar lete hai" Geeta said,

"Bhabhi, come sit here" Akshita called her

"Maa, I'm very tired, do all this stuff tomorrow," Akshat said while pinching his nose,

"Ek thappad padega, jo hamari rasam ko 'all this stuff' bola to," Shalini said,

Riya felt hurt listening to her husband being so disinterested in it but she knew she had to be strong she couldn't show weak emotions like that, she had to make this marriage work.

His phone started ringing and he had to pick it up, Riya was feeling so awkward that it's not even been an hour and his husband was acting like she didn't exist at all,

"Akshat, I will throw that phone away, come here this instant" Geeta said in a stern voice,

"Badi maa, it's important, I have to go," he said facing her then,

"Bhai, I'm going to the penthouse, send Aarav with my laptop"

"Akshat, can it wait?" Kabir asked, he didn't want Riya to feel so unwanted and he could see hurt in his Jaan's eyes as well.

Everyone was trying to stop him, but then,

"It's okay, we can do it tomorrow, it must be important," Riya said and everyone looked at her with a shocked expression.

"Don't worry Riya beta, don't let this jerk make you cry, I will take care of him properly after he comes back from his so-called important work" Prem said assuring her.

"If you guys are done, I am leaving" With that Akshat marched outside, and Aarav followed him too.

It was already 2'o clock at night and Riya was still sitting on their bed, Aisha tried calling her but she lied saying she was feeling sleepy but she was waiting for him to come home, after glancing at the clock it was 4, she finally decided to get rid of her heavy lehenga and change into something simple, there was still no sleep in her eyes, she decided to wear a simple yellow Anarkali suit to sleep, she removed all the heavy jewellery except her wedding bangles, and nuptial chain, toe rings and anklet.

After what felt like an eternity, she heard the room door open and saw Akshat in a bloodied state, his eyes were all red, and he was not wearing his wedding blazer anymore but the white shirt underneath had blood marks, she ran towards him,

"Ak..akshat ji, what happened?" she said trying to hold him by keeping his one arm on her shoulder because she felt he was injured.

"Stay away," he said in his hoarse voice. He jerked her hands off and started moving towards the washroom, she could smell liquor, was he drunk? Was he busy getting drunk on the first night of their marriage? He was stumbling on his way towards the washroom when he saw her helping him reach, he was continuously jerking her hands,

"Why are you in my room?"

"It is our room" Aisha said picking up the first aid box that was not difficult to find because it was in the washroom drawer.

"Remove your shirt"

"No"

"I am not asking, do it"

"You can't boss me around"

"of course, I can, either you remove your shirt, or I will, don't blame me for molesting then," she said and smirked, he started removing his shirt slowly,

She saw a huge wound on his shoulder, that was probably someone tried to stab him, she started treating the wound, without asking anything, he was so confused why wasn't she asking what happened,

"I am not asking what happened because I am used to it"

Did she read his mind?

"Yes"

"I can do this on my own"

"I know"

"Don't worry I am not drooling over your body because I have seen better" she tried to tease him but the reality was as soon as he removed his shirt, her breathing hitched, seeing his toned muscles that were nothing short of a poster outside a gym for advertisement, what does this man even do for fitness?

He suddenly felt strong arms on her elbow and she was pushed onto his lap, he was sitting in the nearby area of the bathtub and she was sitting on his left thigh while treating the wound,

"What better?" his voice got deep, Riya's cheeks flushed with the proximity, she can be a chatterbox, but now that he was so close, she was struggling to find words.

"Um...m..wo..mai.." she was holding the cotton ball in her right hand which was now kept near the word to take support, his arms encircled her waist and he said,

"Tell me, princess"

"Kaise hua ye?" she tried diverting the topic but she genuinely wanted to know,

"Not important"

She started treating the wound again while still sitting, he had now closed his eyes while arching his head backwards and groaning a little, he moved his head upwards only to get in touch with her hair, his nose was now touching her hair, and he was inhaling her deeply, the vanilla scent of her was calming the pain down, he was not feeling any more pain and Riya was busy bandaging the wound while he was busy inhaling her deeply, his hands got stiffen on her waist and he has now started to knead the area tightly, Riya was trying to ignore the sensations that was running in her body,

"fuck" he murmured,

He jerked her away and made her stumble on the floor,

"GET OUT" he yelled while his wounds were now bandaged completely,

Riya flinched at his angry voice and went outside the washroom she heard a punching sound, in the washroom but she was too scared to look as to what happened, so she went directly to bed.
