"There will be no divorce, ever. So think before you say yes." His view fixated on her.
"I've already said yes." Her voice and eyes were dim, too much for anyone to not notice.
"I'm a cruel man so don't you dare humiliate me if you get cold feet and...

Most of the day Shahwar went up and down the house checking the place out and then tried to ask the cook in the kitchen to let her use the area for some of her own cooking too. The very French man had given her a very skeptical look and had told her that she should've requested in the morning but now the kitchen would mostly stay occupied with his menu being prepared for lunch and dinner for the day. He had later said that she could get some space the following day now that she'd mentioned it.
Shahwar's eyes were a misery for trying to escape her boredom. She left with a curt nod towards him. She saw some books in the huge shelves of the living room but they were all about economics and that was something she wasn't interested in. A while later she went back to the room and sat there on the bed. Rehaan hadn't come back from the meeting room in the house, it had been four hours.
Soon after she fell asleep and when the housekeeper knocked at her door to come for lunch she'd sent them back murmuring things in her sleep. It took Rehaan the entire day to finish the first meeting with the lawyers and the directors of the French team to sum up the things that they had to work on for the next two days. By the time he came to the room it was evening and Shahwar was fast asleep.
He didn't want to wake her up and sat down beside her stroking her hair softly. There was a hint of guilt within him for leaving his wife all by herself there when she had come along with him because she couldn't be alone back at home.
Looking at her made him forget everything else in the world. It was more like she was his world. He bent down and was about to press a kiss on her forehead but then stopped thinking it might wake her up. He placed his elbow next to her head and rested his chin over his hand looking at her, not caring how much time was passing by. He didn't even want to go and change his stuffy suit as that would take time for him to not be able to see her during those few minutes.
There was a knock on the door and he at once went to check who it was before the person could go for the second knock and wake his wife up. He stepped out of the door and closed it softly then asked the housekeeper to not disturb them, though he was told that Shahwar hadn't eaten anything after breakfast. He sent the man back asking him to get dinner spread in the dining room.
"Shahwar, wake up. We have to go down for dinner." Shahwar suddenly moved and turned around on the bed, then opened her eyes when he called her as he sat down next to her on the edge of the bed.
"Maalik?" She smiled seeing him, "You're here."
"Come, get up my sweetheart. Let's go down." She lifted herself up to sit and then stretched her hands a little to waver off the sleepiness.
"Okay let's go." She jumped out of the bed and Rehaan held her face pressing kisses over her cheeks.
"Why didn't you eat lunch?" He paused and raised his brows at her.
"I was sleepy." She pursed her lips and rubbed her face.
"Alright, come now." He didn't want to scold his wife, he just didn't have the heart to say anything to her that would make her even frown as a joke now.
