Mysterious Oberoi

15

I was dazed to react, I stood there. Staring at Mr. Oberoi with numerous question. What was his devil mind up too? Until I felt a small peck on my cheek. I glanced at Riddhi, she was staring at me with sparkling orbs. I could feel numerous orbs planted on us. What was even happening? Was he doing this for his daughter? Because she wasn't ready to accept that I wasn't her mother?

"Love," he urged. "Everyone is waiting for us," he passed a reassuring smile, his orbs softening in concern. "It's going to be fine," he grabbed my wrist. I was adamant not to move. I wasn't going to take a part in his drama. Not going to make a fool of myself!

"What are you doing!" I couldn't help from pleading with him. How could he announce me as his wife? Wasn't the function arranged for his engagement?

"I can't marry someone else for your father, love." He pressed and I heard more murmurs spreading around.

"What are you after?" We heard a dangerous growl as the human walked towards us. His face yelled that he was disgusted about our presence. "What plans are you forming?" He grabbed hold of Mr. Oberoi collar, Dev was staring at him in anger. "I was against trusting you!" He was yelling, his orbs searching for someone in the crowd. "Dad! What's wrong with you, why aren't you saying a word? Ask him where is my sister? What had he done to her? And why he is putting fake allegation of us being having a sibling?"

Rishabh Kapoor stood in the corner, his orbs were fixed on us, especially me. I felt intimated under his gaze. Shiver running down my spine under his cold stare. As if reading my body language, Mr. Oberoi stood in front of me as if he was attempting to protect me from his gaze.

"Your dad silence should answer most of your question or are you planning to humiliate him further by opening my mouth on the matter?"

Mr. Oberoi passed him a last look before grabbing my wrist and dragging me along with him. I was more than happy to get out of the venue. The attention from the crowd was making me overwhelmed. I always was the invisible one, no one had their eyes on me.

"What are you doing?" I asked as we walked out of the venue. I stood on my ground denying to follow him. He passed me a pointed gaze as he glanced at the surrounding.

"Stop testing my patience, love." He was gritting his teeth, his orbs glaring at me in rage.

"I am not your love neither your wife." I screamed out loud, finally allowing myself to utter my disappointed over the event. "Why are you doing this? Where is Anaya? Wasn't she going to get engaged with you?"

"That was the plan," he nodded. His face devoid of expression as if he wasn't human, he didn't had the power to feel the emotions. "But we had changed in plan," he smirked at me. "Riddhi why don't you go with your nanny?" His expression soften as he glanced at his child. She had the power to bring emotion to his cold heart.

Riddhi shook her head in denial as she nuzzled her face in the crook of my neck. "No," she pouted. "If I leave... She will soon disappear," she mumbled in my hair.

"She won't, I promise you that..." His orbs had the determination as he gestured the lady behind us to grab Riddhi from my arms. Riddhi heard to Mr. Oberoi's order as she allowed nanny to take her away from us.

I looked at Mr. Oberoi straight in his eyes. I needed answers for his behaviour. "You can go back to your room," he shoved me off.

"I am not leaving until I get my answers." I folded my arms around my chest, my orbs staring straight at the person behind my peace. "What was that about?"

"I am not accountable to anyone for answers," he groaned as he was on the verge of walking away.

"You're!" I yelled as I grabbed his wrist, pulling him to glance at me.
