His Vengeance Wife

chapter 6

Akhil saw a familiar figure drinking while sitting on the bar stool. He went near her and sat beside her. She gulped the glass in one go and kept her head on the table, saying, "One more glass, please," as she sang to the bartender, who was trying to tell her she was already drunk and should not have more. She didn't listen, so he gave her another glass. Before she could touch the glass to her lips, Akhil snatched it away. She looked at him and glared cutely with her doe eyes, which were barely open.

Akhil: "Advika, stop it."

Advika: "Haww... How do you know my name?" she asked, widening her eyes cutely.

Akhil: "I know. Now tell me, did you come alone?"

Advika: "No, I came with my friends. Where are they?" She asked him while grabbing the glass from his hands.

Akhil raised his hand, which was holding a glass, glaring at her. She cutely pouted, looking at him and softly saying, "Please," making him melt at her act but still keeping his stoic expression.

He called someone on the phone and told them to search for her friends. Akhil ordered a lemonade for her as she was tipsy. He handed her the lemonade glass, but she denied it, pointing towards the glass containing alcohol. Akhil shook his head, denying her, which made her eyes watery. She sobbed lightly, making him confused as to why she was crying. He wiped her eyes and changed his expression to a softer one, saying, "Drink this first. You have to go home and sleep; you have an interview tomorrow."

Advika looked at him with her doe eyes and blinked, tilting her head to the right.

Advika: "Interview... Oh,"
tilting her head to the side before fainting into a peaceful sleep, clinging to his arm.

Another person, Samar, arrived and apologized for her behavior. Akhil, with a cold expression, questioned why Sammar had left her alone when he knew she was drinking.

"She wasn't this drunk when I left," Samar explained, "I left her sober, but my other friends were too intoxicated, so I went to check on them. I guess she drank more while I was gone."

Akhil nodded silently, maintaining his serious demeanor. He instructed his bodyguard to ensure they reached home safely before departing.

The next morning, Advika awoke to an excruciating headache, clutching her head as a groan escaped her lips. Slowly assessing her surroundings, she realized she was still at Divya's house. Checking her phone, she nearly panicked at the realization that she would be late for her interview if she didn't get up immediately. Leaving a message for the still-sleeping Divya, she hurriedly made her way home.

Upon reaching her house, she dashed to her room to find Buddy sleeping peacefully. She quickly prepared his food, just as she had done the day before, gently patting his head before rushing to the bathroom. After a quick shower, she emerged dressed in a formal black shirt and blue denim jeans. Applying minimal makeup, she hugged Buddy tightly, kissing the top of his head, before descending downstairs to encounter her mother, Saanvi, who was glaring at her.

Advika let out a nervous chuckle, which turned into a pained groan as her mother twisted her ear.

Saanvi: "I called you so many times! Couldn't you pick up?"

Saanvi scolded her, and Advika offered a remorseful expression.

Advika: "Mom, I promise to talk to you as soon as I get back. You can scold me as much as you want then. Please, let me go now."

Saanvi: "First, eat something before you leave."

Advika shook her head in refusal, prompting another glare from Saanvi. Advika sighed in defeat, grabbing a piece of bread before apologizing to her mother. Saanvi chuckled at her daughter's antics and went off to call everyone for breakfast.
