Destructive Desires

CHAPTER 11

SANDHYA POV

I am stunned people this is pure straight out of a novel his house is so big and luxurious more than his family home , without saying a word he moved inside with me tailing behind him , the inside is as beautiful as the outside

Taking a seat on the sofa he said more of informed me ''your things are kept in my room that is now ours and I know that you want your separate room but that is not going to happen to make my family more convincing we have to stay in one room , you are free to do whatever you like'' taking a pause he studied my face and again said ''ask what you want to ask me'' bingo he understood that I wanted to ask something ''how do you have this big house when you only manage a subsidiary company'' but I did not got the answer I wanted because ''I will tell you later'' he said that , taking a sigh I leaned a bit into the sofa sinking in the feeling of softness that it offered ''since you said what you wanted to say now listen to what I want to say , this is sudden to both of us I don't want to know why you married me to save me as we are stranger but whatever may be a situation I will be loyal to you so I want the same from you''

''what about love , I can't give that , I don't have that'' he said looking in my eyes and I too looked into his eyes and smiled a little ''you know love can happen we have all our life for it''

He mumbled something like grandfather like granddaughter but I was to exhausted to understand this

''take a rest I am going to meet my father now , maybe I will be late so don't wait '' he said picking up his jacket , I know why he is going to clear the matter but I felt bad for him because I know how strict his father his and to face him alone in this kind of situation was a mission in itself ''take care and drive safe'' I don't know why I said it but for some reason he slowed his steps before quickly getting out of the house without saying anything.

With me alone in the house I decided to explore the place but dropped this idea as my whole body was begging for some rest , asking one of the staff to show me my room , I found myself inside his well now ours so much big of a room , it was well maintained with minimal furniture , I went inside the closet to see all my things were already arranged , nice one problem solved I always hate unpacking.

Taking a long hot shower I changed into a loose kurti and plazo and jumped on the bed , but my thoughts were still stuck on him , is he managing well in front of his father what kind of story is he going to tell something like after the engagement broke he was heart broken to see me heart broken well I was not heartbroken but who cares this all a lie now back to story , he felt bad for me so he started talking to me we became friends which eventually bloomed into love but were afraid of the family reaction so we hid our love from the world but seeing our siblings getting married we thought it might be a good if we also got married but afraid that the family will disapprove, both of us decide to marry in secret , well ewww so cringe this story doesn't sit well with both of our personality my standards of romance and making up a lie are so low , keeping aside his thoughts I decided to drift of to sleep.

SATVIK POV

What have I done in fit of my anger I married her , she said we are strangers but I know her more than me so no Sandhya is no stranger to me and knowing her well enough she will never hate me , she is someone who is full of compassion towards others.

Now I am going to meet my father I know he is furious reaching the house I went straight to the study room because it is the only place for him and I to meet

Crash the whiskey glass that he was holding was thrown in my way as soon as I entered the room

''how dare you do something so scandalous'' he said seething with anger , I didn't said anything seeing my silence he again shouted

''I don't care whom you marry or not marry at all but out of all people it had to be Sandhya Kapoor'' I don't like the way her name rolled out of his tongue

''so what you only said that I can marry anyone so be it her'' I said breaking my silence I can tell he was enraged with my answer

''do you have any idea about the rumours that are going to circulate about your sudden marriage'' rumours I don't care about them I never cared about them but my father is different he is someone who cares about his reputation very much , and I know he is not going to let this slide so easily

''we can just say that it was arranged by the families as we were more suited to be with one other''

''of course we will say that it is our only option left now'' my father spat in anger ''but don't think you can get out of it so easily'' saying that he made a quick call to someone ''hello Mr. Smith how are you , yeah I am good to''

Why is he calling our client ''I wanted to tell you that with the closing of our current deal my son Satvik would like to present you with our next upcoming project'' I heard him saying this on the phone , I knew he did this to annoy me , he clearly knows that I care to much about my work and he promised our imp client that I will be giving the presentation of the project that was supposed to take place in 2 years , and if I don't give it I will be called a non capable business man which I absolutely hate , smirking at me he downed another glass of alcohol ''you get the meaning behind my action now go from here'' he said pointing towards the door , I too glared at him I wanted to yell at him but I refrained from it I am to frustrated to say anything to him.

Parking my car I came inside my house only to see that the lights of the kitchen were on and there sat a woman , to be more precise my wife sat there and my legs automatically went towards her , sensing my presence behind her she turned around , seeing me she breathed a sigh of relief as if I would never come back ''you came'' two simple words and a small smile it was something no one ever asked me but here she was my wife whom I married forcefully placing my jacket on the counter I just hummed in response , I guess she wanted to ask how did it go but couldn't because of my tired face ''ask what you want'' saying this I looked at her face her eyes were softened as if she is worried for me ''are you okay , you must have been tired sit I will serve you some dinner'' she said moving in the kitchen and efficiently pulling out the plates and serving me dinner.

I had this throbbing in my heart listening to her words she is really worried about me but why , I am not someone worthy of any of your emotions Sandhya so please don't waste them on me , I saw her placing the dinner in front of and took a seat in front of me , we had dinner in silence

''I am going to the study room'' I said while placing the dishes in the sink , I wanted to run from her presence as soon as possible I didn't waited for her response and moved out of there.
