Happy Reading!

She was making the bed with Payal when she received the message on her cellphone. The phone which he broke in the penthouse and he himself got it back to her after getting it repaired. She could barely understand the logic in that man's mind.

Reading the message she sighed. She who was heartbroken and hurt and in sheer pain after everything that happened in just a day, was now feeling numb of all the feelings. Maybe it has become too much for her to handle that she herself doesn't know how to react anymore.

When Akash ji dropped her home and Jiji saw the band-aid on the back of her hand once she entered the room Payal panicked asking her what happened. She had a hard time consoling her sister making excuses after excuses that it was just a small scratch that happened accidentally.

Now that she was calm she would have to make up another lie that even though that beast gave her some space to breath without him but he wasn't backing off from his words at all. He wants to spend the night with her only and he would. The message boasted just that.

"Jiji, Sarita will stay here with you tonight. I will use the guest room." As Khushi said without meeting her eyes Payal frowned.

"You don't seem well to me, Khushi. Let Sarita stay in the guest room. Anyways there are only few days left for us to stay together in one room. I don't want to loose this time we can spend together. Okay?"

"Oh come on Jiji, we are going to the same house anyways. We will get plenty of time to spend with each other. Don't worry." Saying this she grabbed a spare blanket and scurried off kissing Payal's cheeks before she could even protest.

Coming to the guest room she sent Sarita to her Jiji and cleaned the room.

'I will be there at midnight.'

His text was one liner but she wasn't a fool not to understand the meaning behind it. She looked at the time. Ten minutes to midnight. Her heart dropped. Thankfully everyone was off to their bed. Some guests were also staying here so she has to be careful.

Letting out a breath she sat on the bed trying to understand that why suddenly she was all cool about it. Why wasn't she panicking spending the whole night with him?

"I had had plenty of opportunities to claim you but I didn't. Did you ever wonder why?"

"If you think I am lusting over your body then you couldn't be more wrong. I told you a million times already that you don't know me at all."

She snorted.

"Yeah right." She scoffed. Shaking her head she rubbed her hands which suddenly has started shaking. Here she thought he might have been feeling guilty after seeing her getting a migraine attack. That maybe, maybe he would spare her for at least a day but no, he proved her wrong again. Altogether. Told her that he was selfish before, he would stay so forever no matter what.

Her phone beeped with a message and with that the numb feeling in her body disappeared as she walked to the window and saw him parking the car at the same spot she told him to in order to hide it from prying eyes.

Taking a deep breath she went to the back door of the Gomti Sadan and pulled it open. Without sparing him a glance she murmured to him 'Follow me'.

When he asked her 'how is she feeling now?' She whirled around abruptly and placed her palm on his mouth looking around frantically.

Glaring at him she whispered to him to keep low while his heart thudded violently in his ribcage as after she took her hand off his mouth she grabbed his wrist before pulling him along with her. Without a word he let her drag him wherever she wants to.
