Riddhima's POV:-

I woke up because of the mobile alarm which was snoozing from god knows when...

Rubbing my eyes, i yawned and extended my hand to take the mobile from the adjacent table..

Turning off the alarm, i hid my face under the duvet.. Just then realization dawned upon me and i got up with a jerk gaping in horror...

How the f*ck is this possible? How did i come in this room? Last thing i remember is Vansh locking me in his car. Then Who brought me here?

I gasped seeing Vansh sleeping near the foot of my bed. I shut my eyes tightly and clutched the duvet in my fist. God, what the hell is happening with me?

I opened my eyes slowly to confirm whether I'm dreaming or not. He was sleeping in sitting position keeping his head on the edge of my bed. I wanted to run from this room as fast as possible, but my body wasn't supporting me.... My legs were paining badly.

F*ck you Ishani... I cursed under my breath.

With great difficulty, i kept my foot on the floor and tried to get up.... But because of the sudden shooting pain, i slumped on the bed...

Why me God?

I looked at Vansh who was sleeping peacefully. His mouth was partially open. How could someone sleep so peacefully especially when a girl is present inside the room?

He is mad. And if i start thinking about him, even i'll turn mad.

"Stop staring...."

He ordered with his eyes still closed. I gaped looking at him. Wasn't he sleeping? I lowered my head feeling embarrased.

"What are you doing here?"

I asked trying again to get up from the bed ....

"Can't you see.. I'm sleeping?"

He spoke in a sleepy tone.

"But this is my room. So get out..."

He got up when i yelled at him. Looking at me like an angry lion, he marched towards me... I moved back till my legs hit the edge of bed..

"What did i tell you about raising your tone in front of me? Don't you dare to repeat this mistake again Riddhima..."

He shouted on my face... I nodded not wanting to face his anger once again. I don't have it in me to tolerate his one more punishment. Yesterday's punishment was enough to make me understand that he is not someone to be messed with....

He leaned near my face. My eyes closed in their own accordance...

"And one more thing. This is my home. I can sleep anywhere i want to. If I want, I can even sleep  on your bed with you and you can't refuse me..."

He whispered in my ears. My eyes jerked open and I pushed him....

"What rubbish...."

I fumed counting 1 to 10 in my mind to control my anger. This is getting too much now...

"Try me sweetheart"

He winked and walked out of the room leaving me dumbfounded. How shameless! 

The snoozing of mobile alarm once again broke the chain of my thoughts. I turned the alarms off.  I have already had bad morning after seeing his face. Now i atleast want to spend rest of my day nicely. Today is the first day of Navratri, and I have to get ready to attend the pooja. 

Taking out a pink kurta and white pyjama from cupboard, I kept in on the bed and went in the washroom to take shower.

Finishing my morning ritual, I came out of the washroom tugging a towel around my body...

Dropping the towel on floor, i wore the kurta... 

I bent and put both of my leg in the pyjama...

.

"Riddhima... Ye kya hogya tere pairo ko... Itne sujh kaise gye?"

Dadi asked seeing me struggling to put the pyjama in my left leg...

"Pata nahi dadi. Kal gir gyi thi. Subah dekha to pair sujh gya. Aur ab to pyjama hi atak gya..."

I spoke on the verge of crying while trying to pull up the pyjama... Because of the swelling, my left leg was stuck in the pyjama and i was standing wearing only my kurta which covered my body till the mid thighs.

"Why didn't you tell us yesterday? Dekh ab kya hogya..."

She said looking at my swollen leg and asked Dsouza Aunty to bring ice cubes...

"Dadi, please ise nikalo. Mera pair phas gaya. It's paining a lot.... "

I hissed in pain... Even after taking two tablets of painkiller, my leg was aching badly .....

"Dadi, Aap kab ayi? Mai aapse milne...."

My eyes widened hearing Vansh's voice. He was standing on the door of my room looking at me and Dadi.... His eyes travelled down my body. I pulled the edge of my kurti further down to hide my bare thighs from him. Feeling my discomfort, He averted his gaze.

"Vansh, Tu jaa yahase...."

Dadi said standing in front of him. I hid my petite figure behind her. He nodded his head and went latching the door....

Taking a scissor from the drawer, Dadi tore my pyjama.

"Our family Doctor is on the way. This is Siya's skirt. Wear it before the doctor comes..."

Anupriya Maa said bringing the icepack and a yellow floral skirt. She sat on the bed near me.

"Aaaahhhh....."

I winced in pain when she started giving me cold compression.

Vansh's POV....

Closing the laptop, I huffed in frustration. From last one and half hour I'm sitting in my office cabin unable to concentrate on anything. I'm here but my mind is somewhere else... This has ever happened to me before.

In the bussiness world, I am a ruthless businessman, I have seen many girls cry before. Most of the time, it was me who made them cry. But never have I ever felt so much affected by their tears. Then why? Why whenever this girl Riddhima cries in front of me or because of me, I feel like my heart is breaking into pieces.... Why do i feel this sudden urge to kiss her tears whenever I see her crying? How could the person I believe to hate affect me so much?

Yesterday , When I saw her making fun of me with Aaryan, I felt really insulting. Nobody dares to laugh on Vansh RaiSinghania. How much I wanted to punish her then and there itself for her mistake, but I controlled myself. Instead, I vented out all my anger on Aaryan by asking him to do overtime knowing very well how much he hates to work...

I saw her hiding behind Aaryan and looking at me over his shoulder like a scared cat. Her eyes,.... Her eyes were making me weak. The fear i saw in those  orbs wasn't making me happy in anyway.. This was what I wanted, Right? To scare her for messing up with me. Then why ain't I happy?

Asking Aaryan to drop her home, I walked out of his cabin fuming in anger because if i stayed there even for a second, I would have done something insane...

Rest of the day I couldn't think about anything else expect for the words she said to Aaryan...

That I lack Brain

That my mood changes like a season....

That I should See a Pyschiatrist...

Does she consider me as a mentally retarded person? She think I'm f*cking mad...

I couldn't calm down the lava that was burning inside me. And i knew these thoughts wouldn't leave my mind unless and untill I vent out my anger in front of her .....

So I did the exact same. Finishing the pending work, I returned home almost in the midnight...

Just when I was heating the food in the kitchen, I felt a shadow pass by me... I became alert and took slow steps to see the intruder. It didn't take even a second for me to recognize her after seeing her petite body.

Switching off the kitchen lights, I followed her.... After finding an perfect opportunity, I pulled her wrist and pinned her against the pillar. She struggled and opened her mouth to scream. Before she could wake the entire house by her scream, I covered her mouth with my palm preventing her from screaming.

"Stop moving."

I ordered seeing her struggle in my arms . Her eyes widend hearing my voice...

"Va...ummm..."

She tried to speak but I pressed my palm on her lips tightly. My cold palms felt the movement of her moist lips making my mind go numb..

"So What were you saying? I'm a 'A class' jerk. Very Arrogant and Bossy "

I spoke leaning forward... Our forehead were almost touching and nose was threating to brush against each other. F*ck that closeness...It was making me imagine what dirty things i could have done with her....

"Ummmhhhaaaa..."

She tried to speak again moving her head. I smirked at her courage. Grasping the back of her head with my other hand, I leaned closer . She closed her eyes feeling defeated.

I remembered her words....

"That I lack brain..."

I spoke gritting my teeth and pulled her head closer to me. Her eyes shut on their own accordance at the contact of our noses... She started feeling breathless, I could see that by the rise and fall of her chest....

Snaking an arm around her waist, I pulled her closer as if it was even possible. Her bossom ground against my chest awakening a monster inside me. If i wasn't blinded by my rage at that moment, she would have seen stars..

"I need to see a Pyschiatrist? Right?"

I asked pushing her away from my body... The way her body was responding to me was creating havoc inside me.  She looked at me in shock.

"So you think I'm mad?"

I asked. She nodded her head positively which angered me more... I clenched my jaw.  But seeing me fuming in anger, she realized her mistake and nodded negatively...

" You haven't seen my madness yet...Let me show it to you tonight sweetheart"

Saying this I bent down and caught her thighs.. Lifting her up from the floor I threw her on my shoulder like a potato sac and started walking ....I was determined to punish her for making fun of The Vansh RaiSinghania whose name is enough to scare his enemies...

She protested, hitted my back with her fist, shouted...  which made me more angry..

Walking out of VR mansion, I unlocked my car and before she could understand anything I threw her inside the car and locked it.

"This is your Punishment for messing up with me. Good night Riddhima"

Her eyes widened hearing me....

"No..No... "

She cried banging the window of the car. I went inside without paying any heed to her pleas....

I thought punishing her would cool the valcano inside me... But no. I was wrong. I couldn't sleep . I was feeling restless remembering her almond eyes that were overflowing with tears... I tossed in my bed and tried to convince myself that whatever I did was right. She deserves it. But my heart wasn't ready to listen ...

My legs seemed to have mind of their own, as they made me walk unknowingly out of the room. It was like a spell casted upon me and I felt like a string pulling me in her direction... I didn't realized when i reached near the car...

She was sleeping in the fetal position curling her body on the front seat. I felt guilty seeing her shivering due to the cold.. Whatever anger i had for her an hour ago , evaporated seeing her innocent looking face.

Opening the door of car, I picked her up in my arms taking care not to disturb her sleep. I walked inside lifting her in my arms...

Laying her on the bed, I covered her body with a duvet... Just when I was about to leave her room, her left leg emerged out of the duvet. I was about to cover it, when i noticed the swelling..

The surface of her leg was already looking greasy indicating that she had applied something over it. Taking out napkin from my pocket, I pulled up her pant till her knee and wiped her leg to remove the greasy ointment... She hissed in pain when i accidently applied a slight pressure.

Sitting near her foot, I massaged her legs slowly and gently hoping that it would reduce the tenderness...

Don't know when i fell asleep in that same position... When I woke up in the morning I found her staring at me intently...

"Stop staring"

I said while prentending to be still asleep...

"What are you doing in my room?"

She asked making me open my eyes.... I looked at her and rolled my eyes. She should thank me for massaging her legs whole night, but instead of being grateful, she is asking me to get out...

I got angry and warned her not to raise her voice in front of me.. She obliged and i smirked seeing her scared face. You cannot win over VRS... Never.

"And one more thing. This is my home. I can sleep anywhere i want to. If i want, I can even sleep on your bed with you and you can't refuse me...."

I said to irritate her more and then walked out of the room freezing her on the spot.

I went in my room and got ready to leave for office. Mrs. DSouza wheeled Siya in my room and she told me about Dadi's arrival. I was elated.

"But where is Dadi...? "

I asked Siya. She smiled at my excitement and told me that Dadi is in Riddhima's room..

Taking my office bag, I went towards Riddhima's room.. The door of her room was open and I could hear Dadi's voice.

"Dadi, Aap kab ayi? Mai aapse milne...."

I paused seeing Riddhima's condition. She was wearing a pink kurta which hardly reached till her mid thighs. Her one leg was inside pyjama and the other was exposed to my eyes... My eyes travelled from her swollen foot to her leg and then to the bare skin of her soft creamy thigh. Feeling my gaze, She pulled her kurta further down to hide her thighs from my eyes. But the V shaped neckline of her kurta got pulled down too exposing the valley between her bossoms. My heart beats accelerated and I clenched my hand into a fist to control myself.

I averted my gaze sensing her discomfort. Dadi stood in front of her hiding her body from my dark eyes....

"Vansh, Tu jaa yahase...."

She spoke to which I nodded and left the room locking it from outside. I didn't want anyone else to see her in this state....

"Boss"

I stood up with a jerk with Aangre shook me...

"Are you Ok?"

He asked looking worried... I connected the intercom and told them to send a dark coffee in my cabin...

"I'm fine Aangre"

I replied disconnecting the call...

"Are you Sure? I was calling your name from so long but....."

I cut him off...

"I said I'm fine Aangre. Means I'm fine. Btw, why were you calling me?"

I asked looking at a file he was holding. "Paras and Sons". Didn't I tell him not to finalize any deal with them? Then why is he carrying this file?

"Boss,  Mr Vikram Paras wants to meet you tomorrow. He has a business proposal for you"

Aangre spoke forwarding the file. I opened it and read initial pages with concentration...

"Interesting. Very Interesting.... Ask my PA to give him appointment of 10 am"

Aangre nodded and left the cabin....

And I was again lost in that one person's thought who is making me insane slowly.. I don't know what I feel and how i feel for her, But this feeling is really harmful for my sanity. And I'll have to find a way to get it out of my head by hook or by crook.

Precap- Come on. I know you too want this.  Sleep with me...

_____________________________________

A/N :-  Phew... Finally I updated.

So how was the chapter? Though Vansh has anger issues, I couldn't bring it in me to make him punish Riddhima by hurting her physically like slapping or whipping with belt.. 🙁 This thoughts are itself scary and I would never like my male lead to torture a girl physically.

I hope this small punishment of locking her in the car is justified... 😅

And those who were asking about Sejal...I couldn't bring her in today's update. But she'll definetely come in next chapter...

Ab Riddhima langdi murgi bangyi  hai, to sejal to milne aayegi hi na😂

And about precap, What do you think? Who said to whom?🤣
