His Arranged Wife

On my place

A big thank you to the person who commented on some chapters.... Actually you motivated me to update the book yesterday itself but I was caught up with something... Thank youuuu...!

Shridha's pov

After having porridge prepared by him, I sat on the couch at the end while checking the mail. Rudra was in the bathroom, taking a shower. This time he brought his clothes along with him and we also had a moment of teasing before I pushed him towards the bathroom. 

I frowned while looking at the mail from Anushka. There were the words which I expected from her.

Shridha, I know I made a mistake. You didn't report me when I burnt your marksheet, you didn't say anything when I spilled coffee on your certificates , you kept up with me even when I was about to ruin your presentation but why now? Shridha, you have forgiven me no matter what please forgive me this time. My whole career will be spoiled if I am being debarred. I have worked really hard to be here, everything will be ruined. Please have mercy on me and let go of it for the last time. My father would be really disappointed in me when he finds out that I cannot get my masters degree in finance. I beg you. 

I sighed while reading it and then turned off the computer before keeping it on the coffee table. I folded my legs when I saw Rudra coming towards me in his black sweatpants and t-shirt. He feels more normal in this than that suit which attracts a lot of attention and feels like I am standing in front of my boss .

He suddenly came and caged me between him and the arms of the couch making me gasp.

" What are you doing?" I blurted out and he smirked. I was unable to breathe as my cheeks heated up but I cannot show it to him that everytime he is around me, I am flustered.

" Do I smell like you?" He asked, hiking his brows and I smiled at him. I took a deep breath inhaling his scent and was intoxicated. The sandalwood fragrance of the bodywash and the intoxicating scent of the shampoo invaded my senses. I didn't know that my skincare products smell so good. For a brief moment, I felt my being carried away in his scent as I closed my eyes, inhaling the scent again and when I opened my eyes, I found him staring at me.

" You do." I whispered and he touched my lips with his before pulling away and settling in on the other side of the couch. My cheeks heated up and I was still in daze. My heart took its time to get back to normal and I had to put all efforts to keep myself from grinning. 

" Oh wait." He said and headed towards the bedroom. As he said, I was waiting for him to come back and he did. 

His right hand was holding something behind his back and with his left hand he asked for my hand and I gave it by placing my palm on his.

" You are acting weird." I said and he smiled again before giving me a bag.

" What is this?" I asked while looking at him and he wiggled his brows this time.

" Have a look." He said and my right hand went inside the bag and the moment my fingers touched the box my eyes widened.

" Don't tell me..." 

" I am not telling you anything." He shook his head and sat beside me on the couch and I took out the box.

" Why did you buy me a mobile phone?" I asked while looking at it and he asked me to open it. 

" Because my wife was not contacting me, making me wonder if she left me or did she get a new boyfriend!" He said making a face and I hit him on his arms and he grinned.

" You know that's never happening." I said while taking out the phone and it felt as if my heart was in my mouth.

" I know that's never happening. I wish I knew." He mumbled and although I heard it, I pretended not to.
