the beauty and the beasts

Chapter 11

Shreya's POV.

After having dinner, I was in the room beside his room. Anirudhh gave me medicines and re-bandaged my wounds, because according to him they might get infected because of me cooking, I wanted to scream at him for being so bipolar, but decided against it.

After all that he left the room, telling me to take a proper rest.

I just hope my parents are fine. All I am doing is for them, if keeping my parents safe means me following all of his orders, I will do it.

I dont even remember when or how I fell asleep.

Next Morning.

I groaned in irritation. I hate waking up early in the morning, I glanced to the clock infront of me and it was 6:42 am.

I stood up and went dowstairs. Anirudhh was nowhere to be seen. I went to Anirudhh's room and was shocked to see it clean and tidy. I grabbed my clothes and went to take a shower. After getting dressed I went downstairs to the kitchen. Four alcohol bottles were placed on the kitchen island. Looks like someone is drunk. Very drunk.

I started preparing breakfast after throwing the alcohol bottles in the dustbin.

I was halfway preparing breakfast when an Angry Anirudhh came to me like a bull. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" He half yelled. I stayed silent.

"Shreya enough of your silent treatment. Answer me.. what are you doing?" He again asked slowly but the anger laced in his voice was enough for me to start trembling.

"Coo- cooking" I whispered.

"Dont you know You are not Allowed to cook?" He asked. I looked at him with confusion.

"How can you be so irresponsible and careless. You have an injury and still you are cooking?" He asked. But before I can reply he grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the couch in the living room.

"Now sit here and dont you dare move" he ordered and went to kitchen. I sat there silently, after a few minuted Anirudhh called me "Shreya"

I went to the kitchen and saw him serving the breakfast prepared by us in two plates.

He instructed me to sit and have breakfast and he did the same.

After breakfast he went to his office before instructing me what should I do and what I should not. Once he finished lecturing me, he left.

I stayed all day roaming around and one thing I came across was alcohol, like too much of alcohol. It was kept in his office. I was shocked to learn that he consumes so much alcohol because working in an NGO I know what alcohol does to people. Eventhough I hate him, I dont want these things to destroy him.

In the afternoon I sat in the living room reading a novel which I found in his office. I was almost done reading the novel when the doorbell rang. I thought for a second whether I should open the door or not but decided to open it.

I opened the door and I saw an unknown man standing there.

"Yes?" I said

"Ma'am hello.. I am Anirudhh Sir's PA. Arjun Shah . he said me to give you these." He passed a few boxes to me.

I took them from him and looked at the boxes which contained food. Wow.

"Food?" I asked.

"Yes ma'am. I should leave. Take care ma'am." And he left.

This Anirudhh is seriously mad..

I went to the dining area and kept the boxes there. Debating whether I should eat or not.
