I knew something was wrong the second I stepped into the mansion.
The air was thick. Heavy.
A suffocating tension curled around me like a noose.
I swallowed, shaking off the old feeling, and walked further in.
The dim lights in the hallway flickered slightly. My heels clicked against the marble floors as I headed toward our bedroom.
The moment I reached for the door handle—
A voice. Deep. Rough. Dangerous.
"You’re home early, Mrs. Dashyant."
My breath hitched.
Slowly, I turned.
And there he was.
Ambhreen.
Leaning against the wall. Hands in his pockets. Suit perfect, not a single wrinkle.
But his eyes?
His eyes were pure fucking hellfire.
A shiver ran down my spine.
"You’re scaring me," I admitted, my voice quieter than I wanted it to be.
He pushed off the wall and started walking towards me, slow, deliberate steps. Like a predator approaching prey.
"Good," he murmured.
I took a step back. He took another step forward.
The air grew heavier.
Then—
My back hit the door.
He caged me in, one hand resting against the wood beside my head. His other hand reached up, tracing a single finger down my jawline.
"You’ve been busy today, haven’t you?" His voice was velvet and venom. "Should I say… productive?"
I swallowed. "I don’t think that I am answerable to anyone."
He chuckled. A dark, low sound.
"Oh, really?" He tilted his head, eyes never leaving mine.
"Then tell me, Mrs. Dashyant—why did my wife burn my best friend’s house down? "
My heart stopped.
" You must be answerable as well as responsible for what you did. Right? "
A sharp breath left my lips.
Shit.
How did he find out so fast?
