Diya P.O.V
I woke up suddenly, with a throbbing head. I was wrapped in a blanket wearing my night clothes, I looked around and saw a messy sofa on one side and on the other side my dearest husband wrapped in a towel holding onto a tea cup, he suddenly looked at me and smiled, "Good morning", he said. I smiled back awkwardly, got up and briskly walked straight to the bathroom. When I came out, all washed up, I saw him button up his shirt, his Chest and abs hadn't gone unnoticed by me, but I couldn't afford to think that way.
"Do you wanna talk about last night" he initiated the conversation
"listen, I am sorry about last night, it shouldn't have happened, you shouldn't have to care for me, I'll make sure you don't have to do anything like this the next time"
He moved to the shelf and got a bunch of paper and handed them to me. "Diya, you clearly don't want this marriage and I agree, it didn't happen in the right situation, these are the annulment papers, you can sign them and we can get rid of this"
"what! no! we can't do that!"
"Why not?"
"because of the merger, Arjun, that is why we got married in the first place!"
"the merger will take place, no matter what"
"but the stock prices will fall if the news of the annulment is out!"
"you're concerned about the stock prices!?"
"hell yeah, my company is associated with these companies and I have hell lot of money invested in your company!"
"So you want to continue this unhappy marriage for money?"
"hell yeah, I have too much at stake here!"
"I cant believe you are the person who'd do shit for money without happiness"
"Oh shuddap! happiness, money, what nonsense, you think I'm gonna be happy when my company is defamed and I lose out on my money and the bank people come to seize my properties? And for your kindest information, you're company isn't doing any great, this wedding news is what is fetching your stocks better prices! just wait for 6 months, once the stocks and all settle, we can call quits, everybody will forget everything by then"
"You think I'm gonna let you stay with me for the next 6 months" He asked grimly
I moved to the dressing table and picked up the mangalsutra ( the scared thread) and said to him, "this definitely will!"
"we shall see, welcome to hell till then"
hell, hell yeah, like there wasn't enough of that. What would he even do!
