Trishalini POV

I followed his gaze, noticing the jewellery on the table and looking at my face.

"I made your work easier," I said in a slow voice and walked towards him. Do not worry; I will not steal anything," I added. He gulped, looking into my eyes. And, as I stood before him, his gaze softened, lowering to my lips and then lifting to my eyes again.

"Trisha," he muttered and "Shhhh," I hushed him down.

Lowering my gaze to his hand, I took it and turned towards the bed. I climbed the stairs to the bed, and suddenly, he pulled my hand slowly and made me look at him.

His gaze looked into mine with the questions, and I asked.

"Suhaagraat nahi manaenge?"

"Would not consummate?"

He clenched his jaw, and I smiled immediately.

"Hum beth jaate hai,"

"I should sit," I said, sitting on the bed. I pulled my knees closer to my chest. He tried to pull his hand back from mine, and I looked at him.

"Aaiye naa... Yuvraj,"

"Come here... Yuvraj," I said, and he sat beside me on the edge of the bed.

I noticed his gaze lowering down my feet, and I gulped nervously before saying.

"Hum late jaate hai,"

"I should lay down," I said, and he immediately looked into my eyes. I did not know why he was uncomfortable. Wasn't that what our marriage meant?

"Stop it," he said, and I breathed. "Why?"

I intertwined my hand with him while lying down on the bed. My heartbeats raced with fear and anger. His presence was nothing but a reminder of who I was for him.

I followed his gaze, lowering down our joined hands. I slowly pulled my fingers out of his and placed his hand on my belly. His hand felt warm and equally frightening.

My breath hitched when he gently caressed my stomach a little. My body shivered intensely, and I immediately tried calming myself down when he looked into my eyes.

My fingers fisted on my skirt, hiding from his sight when he placed the tip of his index finger to push my dupatta aside from the navel. His gaze never left mine.

And I could not help but look away.

My heart beat raced with fear, and suddenly, he stood up to leave.

I immediately held his hand and closed my eyes. But no more words came out of my mouth, and he did not turn around to look at me. The game was dangerous, and I knew I was playing with fire.

My confidence in my bones weakened, as did my hand's hold on his. I quickly turned to the side, hearing his footsteps as he approached the door.

It opened, and after a few moments, it closed. I lay alone and finally breathed in calm.

It was so close. I would faint.

I could not even look into his eyes as a wife. This made me feel nervous and weak. I did not know how it would happen.

I pulled my knees closer to my chest, cocooning up.

It took me a long time to calm my racing heartbeats before I finally fell asleep.

But, even in my unconsciousness, my mind kept replaying the moments of our wedding, his words, his sharp words and how they ripped my heart.

The desire he had and the condition I kept in the middle. And, amid all of this, the order of the Queen for me to become a Queen.
