The Elite Bride ( I was enchanted to meet you, princess )

《 57. Mesmerizing 》

Tere naina, raahein saja de

Tere naina, doori mita de

Tere naina, dhadkan ko bhada de

Tere naina, palkon mein samaa le

Wallah 

Zakham pe marham, tere naina

Dhool pe shabnam, tere naina

Jag bhoole bhoole, tere naina

Dil chu le chu le, tere naina
Tere nainon ke aagey jotaare bhi sharamaye ..

~ Tere Naina 

Alert: This is one of the best chapters I have written in a while so don't forget to comment.

We had returned back to the Rajmahal after the hearing and gladly so because it was mentally exhausting. I felt drained as well as relieved when the judge declared the next hearing was fifteen days later.

My bones caught the chill from the heaviness of representing my husband. He had prepared himself just the way I had asked him to, he had steeled his spine for any sort of sordid blows. But guess what, maybe I was unprepared or simply I had just overestimated my capacity to defend him as his wife, not as his representing lawyer. When the attacks got nasty, like the one where Tanya admitted to him raping her to take revenge for her cheating, it was cruel at its best. The man had not left her despite her betraying him several times and then him being accused of doing something so guttural was unjustified.

But that is how court hearings are. They are unjust, brutal, and destructive. I am not only responsible for winning this case but also for making sure that Raghav doesn't spiral into guilt of any kind. Phew! Too much on my plate.

A knock broke my reverie. "Jaan?" His soft voice was music to my ears. I am so used to him calling me using different nicknames that I am afraid if he ever uses Janaki to address me, I may not like it which is ironic because it is my name.

"Jaan, what are you doing?" He mused.

I chuckled at his restlessness.

"Just wait a bit. I am wearing my sari." I answered almost yelling.

"It's better if you don't wear it." he murmured in a low voice, if it wasn't for the silence in our room I wouldn't have heard him.

"Huh? Did you say something?" I teased.

"What? No, nothing. I said come out fast we need to go somewhere." he replied.

I patted my head to check whether the towel on my head was in its proper place then I made my way towards the door and clicked it open.

A wide expanse of tanned shoulders and broad back greeted me. I gulped. I suddenly had a strong urge to lick his back. Oh! And that silver chain. I am seriously thinking of wetting it with my tongue. Yum! I would like to be his dom at least once.

Sensing my presence, he turned around and that silver chain glinted beneath the lights of our room.

"Wow, lavender and golden. Nice combo, it suits you." He complimented after checking me out.
