The Misunderstood Bride

Chapter 22. DO NOT QUESTION ME!🖤

Veer's pov:

The next morning, i wake up with an uneasy feeling. Leaving Akriti alone at the penthouse could be a wrong decision for me. What if she ran? She knows the passcode now. I quickly open my phone and call the security guard to check upon the cctv footage. He tells me that she didnt go anywhere after returning home last night nor did anyone come to visit her. I sigh with relief. Thank god she is safe. And she is home.

I walk towards the washroom and get freshen up. Afterwards, i head downstairs and greet Mala aunty who has practically raised Aditya. She has been close to me too. Aditya is still asleep as today's Sunday so i have breakfast without him. I plan to wait for him to wake up before leaving but ultimately decide to go home because of the uneasiness i feel. During the drive back home, all my emotions get mixed up. The anger, the hate, the anxiety, the attraction, the fear, the comform, warmness...all get mixed up and i just dont get what to decide. I focus on my anger and what i heard yesterday. She hugged him! She hugged him dammit! She was ready to leave me...leave me for him! I cant be weak....i cant let my feelings get in my way. Yes...yes feelings...Yes Akriti i starting feeling for you but look how you ruined it! Now i will ruin you.....

I reach home and immediately go to my bedroom. She is not there. I check the washroom but she isnt even there to find. I finally find her asleep on the couch in the guestroom. What does she wanna prove by sleeping on the couch? She could have used the bed here..huh such a dramebaaz she is....(dramebaaz= one who does a lot of drama)
I wake her up by patting her arm. "Akriti wake up...wake up.."
She slowly opens up her eyes and looks at me with those huge beautiful eyes. She realises where she is and quickly gets up from the bed. Her eyes are red and she looks as if she has eyebags. Was she crying? But why would she cry? Oh because her plan failed.... I caught her red handed? Yeah that only....

"Aap...aap aagye? Where were you last night?"
"Who do you think you are to question me?"
"I...i....no one"
"Hmmm good. You should know your place my dear wife. You cant ask me any questions about my personal things. Only i have that right over you."
"Yes...i..i will freshen up and make you breakfast."
"No..i already ate"
"Where?"
"DO I NEED TO REPEAT MYSELF EVERY FUCKING TIME?? I TOLD YOU THAT YOU ARE NOBODY TO QUESTION ME. NOBODY!!!!"
"Yeah..yeah am sorry..."
"Now listen to me very carefully!! You will be doing all the work of the house from now on!! Not just cooking...everything!!! I am giving the maid off for some time. Until i decide otherwise, you will do everything.."
"What!? But i havnt done most of the things...i dont know how to do these things properly..."
"Thats not my issue!! Follow my orders and thats it!!"
"Okay..."
"And one more thing.. from now onwards you wont be allowed to meet anyone from my family. You cant go anywhere too. You will be here everytime. I will watch you 24*7. I will opt for work from home from now on. I already have an office here. I cant risk you flying away with your lover now...can i?"
"Ye..yess..."
"You will be sleeping in my room itself...your place will be decided tonight...you just have to follow everything i say!"
"Hmm"
"Dont hmmmm in front of me!!!!!"
"Sorry...yes..yes"
"Hmmmmm good....now go and start with the work."

With that she gets up hurriedly from the couch and rushes outside the room with teary eyes. I feel a pang of guilt but quickly absorb it by imaging her hugging Tarun last night. She deserves it. She deserves everything i will make her endure....

I leave the guestroom and go to my study directly to get some work done. Its sunday but i am also Veer Malhotra and i cannot rest. I need to work my ass off to hold my name and my company....
