Chapter 43

"That's hard to answer".

He said. Leaning forward looking straight into her eyes he spoke.

"Deal," he pressed, his voice honeyed..

"Stay, and I'll be a prince. Disobey, and..." The threat hung heavy, unspoken. Her chin trembled, as she gulped.

Though he put the deal she wasn't able to believe him. He never stayed true to his words. But she have no other choice. Her situation compels her to listen, but true belief remains elusive. Her options are painfully limited.

But hope, as fragile as a spider's thread, was all she had.

His threat hung unfinished as the day began to run and he didn't charge himself on her careful for her health.

In the mean time she thought if her poor health could stop him from having her. In the very stance he came to her with her medical report and warned that he will be taking care of her health from now on.

The drip was taken off by afternoon. Her lunch was bought to her in the bedroom by him. He fed her and dozed her to sleep as he worked in the same room aware of the fact that she is only half asleep. However he didn't bother her and let her act.

The following day, she reclined on the bed bench, the afternoon light casting a warm glow over her. A book lay gently on her chest, rising and falling with each slow breath. Her dress flowed down the bench in a cascade of fabric, creating a pool of color that contrasted with the soft, muted tones of the room. She appeared to be lost in a world of her own, the peaceful ambiance of the moment wrapping around her like a comforting embrace.

Today she managed to stay alone as he went to his office. The door was locked however.

Her eyes remained empty as she stared outside the window wondering about things.

About her actions which could have avoided him in the past.

Where did it all started?

A heavy sigh left her, contrasting with the weight of her thoughts.

She have to stop thinking about the same thing again and again.

There is no result of such thinking but only working her brain too much.

She have to concentrate on other things to jeep her mind diverted.

She picked up the book from her chest gently and turned away from the window, focusing on the pages. Suddenly, she noticed a silhouette in her peripheral vision. Turning to her side, a gasp escaped her lips as she saw him standing there leaning to the pillar.

"You've been thinking a lot".

He began moving away from the pillar, taking a step toward her just as she was about to sit up. Extending his hand toward the book resting on her chest, he gently urged her to remain lying down.

She remained laid down as he sat just side to her with his hand placing on tye other side practically caging her.

Looking down at her he asked.

"What were you thinking "?

He asked striking up the convo.

She gave a little shake of her head in a no saying she wasn't thinking anything.

"Liar".

She gulped as she prepared herself to reason something.

"I was....just....thinking about the book".

She said and looked away to escape his scrutinying eyes.

"Did you thought anything about me"?

He asked causing her to look at him. A positive formality answer was on the tip of her tongue through habitual way before she wondered why it has to be positive or even worse lie.

She again gave a little shake of her head in a no. Something burned in his heart as he took a long breath before releasing it.

"But I'v been thinking about you all the time".

Saying that he snaked his arm under her waist and pulled her up close to him as her hand flew on to his shoulder. He inched close to her with an hairline space between their lips. Her hand between them became stiff to avoid anymore closeness from him.

"Thinking about you wearing me"

Saying that he held her nape and inched her close to jis lips as he began to kiss her.

The kiss went from soft to hard and thirsty. His kiss spoke how eager he was to kiss her and her kiss remained silenced as how she was modified into by him.

He managed to break the seal of her tightened lips as he began to devour her. Heat in his body escalated things which he thought to suppress it for today considering her health.

But their clothes were peeled off and bed sheets were crumbled.

His arms pulled up her legs to his waist as his hands caressed every inch of her skin while his kisses kept on trailing on her skin.

His hips began to fasten as he is almost near. Pulling back his long grift he gave a quick thrust into her causing her to jerk as she let out a moan in anguish.

Her hands tightened on his back letting her nails pierce his skin as his thrusts became more powerful. Her face disappeared into hua briad shoulder as herveues remained tightly closed while he stuffed his face in her crook grunting as he released himself in her while she had hers.

Small wjimperings rang in his ear as he almost gonna put his weight on her after his climax except his knees and arms supporting his body weight.

Their breath was heavy while their body has sweating beads.

His peppered kisses trailed from her crook to her mouth and began to tangle his tongue with hers.

He continued kissing her troubling her breath untill he felt her light tap on his shoulder as if calling him.

Till now for first time her hand between was used to call him rarther than restraining him. That compelled him to listen to her soft request and he lifted himself off from her as he peered down at her in question.

Her eyes were glossy. As if those captivating beautiful eyes were captured under the delicate shining glass which were tears.

"What"?

His voice came out in a demanding.

Uncertainty passed through her before she took the dare to open her mouth.

"Can we stop this with one round? Please? I'm tired".

She stuttered as he kept on looking at her. Feeling anxious she stole a glance at him.

"My head is spinning".

She reasoned. He bent down to her again as he peppered kisses on her cheek and got off from her while pulling the blanket to her hand knowing she gonna pull it for herself anyway.

She took the blanket and covered it till her head while he got dressed with his back facing to her.

"Did you had your medicines "?

He asked and she replied with a yes.

"I'm preparing lunch for you. Get ready and be at the table within half an hour".

Saying that he left the room. She peeled the blanket from her face and peeked out of the room. On finding him no where she got up and wrapped the blanket around her and walked to the washroom.

After more than a half an hour she walked out of the room with slight damp hair.

He who was setting the table instantly looked at her on feeling her presence. His eyes stuck on her.

Her damp hair framed her face beautifully, making her look ethereal, like a fairy princess.

Obvious to his stare she didn't look at him and sat down quietly while his eyes followed her each step.

"Good morning. I like how clean freak you are"?

He commented. He knew why exactly she took a bath. At his taunt, she looked up at him briefly before lowering her eyes to her empty plate, saying nothing. The brief moment of their eyes clashing made his hand tighten on the spatula. Clearing his throat he began to fill her plate.

"No. Stop. This is enough. I can't eat more".

"Eat properly. Gupta's family had killed your appetite. Did you look at how you were before marriage and now after married".

Her hand below the table fisted bearing his words.

If he is concerned that they are worst then he should be concerned about himself firstly. He is much worser than them. A man with no morality and mercy.

"Never mind. Now you became widow you'll become fat as I feed you".

Her brows furrowed at his statement. Ignoring his words she began to eat food as he stuffed his plate and began to eat along with her.

A bell rang in the house and the intercom informed about the arrival of the police.

Her ears perked up as she looked up at the voice only to be caught by his steely eyes. She instantly looked down into the plate and continued eating like innocent while feeling his burning gaze on her. He continued looking at her making sure she feels his burning gaze untill the door bell rang again.

"I want you to behave and finsh your food before I return".

With that saying he left the dinning and walked out while she looked at his back disappearing as her hope began to appear.

Police.

Help had walked right to her door.
