RUDRAKSH'S POV

"You can't change the rule, sir." I am in a meeting with the marketing team and the manager is too bold today to argue with me, when I told him he has to go over his strategy because I don't like it, he said the team has gone over it twice and they feel it's the best, it's my company I know what's best for it, and no one argues with me, I am all about presenting opinions but if I don't like it I don't sugarcoat stuff, I pay them it's not the other way around, and now he's going to loose his job for not listening to me like a good employee and not doing his work, I don't care what it will do to employee morale, "Sir it's stated in my contract that I have to work here for two more years, so you cannot change the company policy just like that." Mr Sharma says, seems like he still isn't getting the memo.

"Too bad. I just did Mr sharma, you're fired. Ms. Iyer, you will be the incharge of this team and I need a new and updated report by the end of the week." I see the door to my office open and Aditi pushing Shivani inside, and I end the meeting before Mr. Sharma could argue further, all my attention is on my fiance now.

She looks absolutely gorgeous. Her eyes wandering around the room, as if she senses that I am looking at her she meets my eyes and smile softly and shyly and says in a very low voice, "Hi." wow she's definitely cute, I can say that much. I get up from my chair and walk ahead leaning on the table, "come here." I say in an authoritative voice. She looks like a deer caught in headlights but still she doesn't disobey me and like a good girl walks and stops right in front of me.

"I hate it that you don't look into my eyes Shivani." My voice sounds hoarse.
Her eyes widened slightly as she looked up at me.
"I-I'm sorry," she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper.
My eyes narrowed, and jaw clenched, I hate it that she apologize too much. "Don't be sorry, Shivani. Just look at me. Really look at me."

My eyes searched her face, taking in the her soft features and shy gaze. I wanted to see right through her, I want to know what's going on deep within her.
"I'm looking," she whispered, her voice trembling slightly.

My gaze softened, a little, the last thing I want is to scare her away. I gave it a lot of thought, I can't keep running away from her just because of some dumb woman, she doesn't deserve the punishment of things that she didn't even do, so I am going to be nice with her, she's my wife after all, well will be and if she betrays me she will see the worst of me, not because she hurt me but with the interaction between my family and her, she will also hurt them and I don't like that, but if that doesn't happen, she is my family, "Good," I said, my voice low and husky. "I like that." I do like her light brown eyes, and they tell me things that she can't say, maybe she doesn't know it but her eyes are very expressive.

"Now my dear fiance," I say running my knuckles along her cheekbone, since the moment I saw her today I had this desire to touch her and I tried, I am trying to control but I definitely failed, she shudders with my touch and I like the effect just my touch has on her, "I recall giving you a black card yesterday, am I correct?" I ask in a low threatening voice.
She nodded her eyes wide with a mix of fear and curiosity.
