Author's POV:-

The sound of the bedroom door creaking open jolted Misha awake. She squeezed her eyes shut, feigning sleep, her heart hammering against her ribs. Vedansh entered, his movements silent and deliberate.

He stood beside the bed for a moment, the only sound his steady breathing. Misha held her breath, willing herself to stay perfectly still.

After a tense minute, she felt a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Sorry Sugar. I shouldn't have behaved with you like this . But you were also not listening to me and anger got best of me." he murmured, his voice a low rumble.

He pulled the covers around her more securely before settling in beside her. His arm instinctively wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer.

"Good night, Sugar," he murmured kissing her head.

Her tensed again, the warmth of his body a stark contrast to the turmoil within her. Should she push him away? Should she scream and fight?

But a wave of exhaustion washed over her, stealing her remaining strength. Maybe, just for tonight, a peace was all she could manage.

As sleep threatened to claim her once more, a single tear escaped, tracing a silent path down her cheek. Vedansh, despite his outward calmness, remained awake for a while longer.

He watched the rise and fall of her chest, the tension slowly easing from his own body. He knew this wasn't over.

Her desire for freedom wouldn't vanish overnight. But for now, the fragile peace of having her safe beside him was enough.

The first rays of dawn speared through the window, landing squarely on her face. A groan escaped her lips as she slumbered, instinctively burrowing deeper into the covers.

But the comfort was short-lived. A hand reached out, snatching the pillow away with a sharp tug. Her flinched, her eyes fluttering open in irritation.

"Sugar, get up. It's breakfast time," his chirped, his voice far too cheery for this early hour.

She propped herself up on her elbows, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Her mind was still tangled in the remnants of dreams, a frustrating mix of what felt like reality and a desperate need for escape.

Before she could fully register her surroundings, a wave of exhaustion washed over her, threatening to pull her back into sleep's embrace.

"Good morning, Sugar. You go and take a shower. I'll bring your breakfast," Vedansh chimed again, already moving towards the door.

As he stood there, his hand still on the knob, it was as if time slowed for just a second.

His face showed a subtle, almost imperceptible shift—was it worry, uncertainty, or perhaps something deeper? Whatever it was, it came and went quickly, leaving no trace.

The door clicked shut behind him, a sound that seemed to carry finality, as if sealing whatever thoughts had crossed his mind moments before.

The lock engaged with a soft but definite sound, signaling the end of the brief pause in his otherwise decisive action.
