Armaan has only his father and an elder sister Soniya in his family. Soniya is really a nice and cheerful girl unlike her brother. She is a married girl with two children.

Thank God, the marriage ceremony at last ends. My back is now aching so much. After my rukhsati, we drive towards Raisanni's Residents in a car. The house is big but not bigger than Dad's. After some customs, I was free from all the mess.

After all the fuss, Soniya brings me to Armaan's room. It is really spacious yet comfy. There is a big king-sized bed placed in the heart of the room. On the left, a door led to the bathroom. A small area was specific for the wardrobe on the other side. There is a huge door-sized window on the right side of the room which is now covered with grey colored curtains. The walls which are all painted creamy color adding more to its elegancy. The far corner has been occupied by a couch. On the wall behind the bed a big picture frame of Armaan is hanging. The room is simple yet elegant.

Soniya helps me carrying my lehnga and make me sit on the bed. Unlike usual for a wedding, the room is not decorated at all. I smile at Soniya and rested my back at the crown of bed.

"Well! Armaan has allergy with the scent of flowers so I couldn't decorate the room." She answers my unasked question with a nervous laugh.

"It's okay," I beam with a smile.

Who doesn't like flowers? He is a weird guy. Or maybe he does not wants all of these because he has been forced into this marriage.

"Zara you are looking damn gorgeous, my brother will lose all of his senses today." She winks at me and I cringe to my fullest.

And your brother has planned to make my life hell. I show her my superb fake smile. Before she left, she asked me if I need anything to which I simply said no. I want to get rid of this damn dress and I want her to leave as soon as possible. Don't get me wrong, but I can't bear heavy dresses. They make me suffocate.

Before I can get up and head towards my suitcase, the door slightly opens revealing him who I unluckily call my husband now. He is looking tired. He shoots me a death glare before heading to the wardrobe area.

Great! Now I have to wait for him to free the bathroom. Till then, I lazily remove my jewelry. What a relief! I put the jewelry on the side table.

"Get off my bed now." A deep firm voice collides with my ear causing me to stop removing my bangles and stare at my husband's direction who is glaring at me angrily. His eyes are shooting daggers at me.

"Why? Did you made this bed or it has your name on it?" I fire back.

At first, his eyes get darken and he frowns like he least expected me to answer back but soon his lips curled up to form a smirk.

"So you got a mouth. I like it how you retorted back."

I raise my brow in confusion. What has got into him suddenly? I step back when I saw he was approaching me with the same smirk plastered on his face. He places his both arms on either side. His face is so close to me making me gasp a little.

"I didn't realize that you are really beautiful." His voice is more like a whisper. He grabs an intentionally left strand of my hair and tugs it behind my ear making me shudder because of his warm touch.

Before I could understand anything, I get to jerk off the bed and left standing on its side with eyes widened in shock. Armaan smirk gets deeper and he lays down on the bed where I was sitting before.

He just grabbed your arm and made you lift off the bed and you could do nothing Zara. I am disappointed in you.

"You jerk! What do you think of yourself? I don't give a fuck about you and your damn bed," I yell and turn around on my feet towards the bathroom. I can hear he chuckles at my statement causing my anger to shoot more.

"Do your business quickly and turn off the light. I want to sleep," he orders wanting me to curse him more.

I quickly bring out a simple shirt and trousers from my suitcase and change into it. Now the problem is where will I sleep.

The couch? But it will make my backache. I will have gone to another room if Soniya and Mr. Raissani did not present here. Now the only option left is the couch. I grab a pillow from the bed.

"Just turn the damn lights off," he again yells but this time his voice was little sleepy.

"Asshole!" I mutter and turn off the light before heading towards the couch.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

I wake up in the morning with severe back pain. I check the time on my phone, it was already 7 in the morning. Dad would be here any time soon. I should have wake up already.

My eyes automatically went towards the bed. Armaan is still sleeping. He looks so innocent like that totally opposite of when he is awake. I roll my eyes at what the heck I was thinking earlier and get up while stretching my back and walk towards the washroom to shower.

After the shower, I wear a simple white long shirt with white tights. I don't want to get again in a mess of heavy clothes. I never liked that type of clothes. They suffocate me and all of the above, they don't suit me. I apply a little makeup and head out of the room.

Last night, I was really tired to notice anything in my surrounding but to my surprise, the house is really beautiful. I walk downstairs wondering where is the kitchen as I was feeling thirsty. Maybe Soniya is also still sleeping.

I look around the house while searching for the kitchen. There is a wall in the main lounge where Armaan's family photos are hanging.
After I spot the kitchen, I walked towards it to find a maid working there.

"Hello Mrs. Raissani, Do you need anything?" She asks me with a smile.

"Yeah I need water and you can call me Zara," I says while sitting on a chair behind her.

She nods and opens the fridge to take a bottle of water. She pours it in a glass and handed me.

"Here Mrs.....I mean Zara Ma'am." She says while handing me water.

"Thank you so much," I exclaim while taking the glass from her hand.

"Oh Zara you are already awake," I hear Soniya's voice.

I turn back to see her walking inside the kitchen towards me.

"yeah, I am an early person actually," I said while laughing a bit.

She chuckles at my answer.

"But why are you dressing so simply, you are a newlywed bride, you should wear something heavy and colorful." She frowns when she notices what I was wearing.

"No Soniya, I can't wear heavy dresses. It's already good enough..."

"No, you are coming with me." She cuts me and grabs my arm and drags me with her. She brings me again to his room and opens the door.

The room looks empty. Armaan is showering maybe. Soniya walks towards the wardrobe and she opens an almirah. She glances at me confusedly when she doesn't find my any clothes. Oh my God! I haven't put my clothes in the wardrobe. They are still in my suitcase.

"Soniya, My clothes are still in my suitcase," I reply and she raises a brow in confusion.

She walks towards my suitcase in the corner of the room and after some time, she takes out a heavy dress with embroidery on it.

Wow! She has picked the heaviest dress of all my clothes. I pout when she gives me the dress. I was gonna say something when Armaan came out of the bathroom still in a towel.

"Oops! I am going," Soniya says and winks at me. Aggh this girl.

I glance at Armaan. Water is dripping through his wet hair. He is hella handsome no doubt. He has a really muscular and well-built body. He is so tall, I have to lift my head to look at him.

"Drooling, aren't we? "

I snap out of my thoughts suddenly. What was I thinking, Shit! Shit!

I saw he is smirking while his icy blue orbs being fixed on me. A blush appears on my face. What the heck! I tries to ignore him and rushed towards the bathroom when he held my wrist and brought me closer to him.

"The relation between us should remain between you and me only. If you tried opening your mouth to anyone, I won't spare you. Understand?" He asks in a loud voice.

" What if I don't, I'll tell your father and he will surely scold you because he was the one who badly wants me to marry you." I fire back with a smirk.

I saw his smug vanish. He clenches his jaw and tightens his grip on my wrist more.

"You have guts, I see. Well first of all, you can't say anything to him because we are leaving for New York tomorrow and lastly he won't say anything to his only son as I am the sole inherent of his property," he says and loosens his grip on me.

Yeah I forget, his father did tell that day, I have to go with him to New York soon after the marriage. I am now in a total loss. I will be alone with him there and he will be free to do anything to me as he would please. Oh God! Where have I brought myself.

"Jerk!" I mumble before rushing towards the bathroom.

"I have heard that," he yells.

"I didn't try to hide it from you either, you asshole!" I stick my tongue at him before closing the door harshly making a loud bang.

**********

I smile cheerfully seeing my dad coming.

"Dad." I hug him tightly. I miss him so much.

"How is my daughter?" He asks after breaking the hug and cups my face with his hands.

"I am fine dad, but missed you so much," I say.

I saw that jerk rolls his eyes at my comment.

"So early? Now you have to go to NewYork too." He chuckles.

My dad brings breakfast too. It is a ritual that the bride's family bring breakfast on the first day of the marriage. Dad starts talking to my father in law, Armaan excuses himself for a call. I was left alone with Soniya.

"Soniya! Why didn't you bring your children with you?" I ask her.

"Ashar says they will annoy me because I have to do all the arrangements for your marriage so thatswhy they are with him. I am also going back home tomorrow after you people will leave." She smiles.

I nod in the reply. She is so sweet and I will surely miss her.

Dad soon left. Now I was feeling super lonely and sad. I have to stay away from him for 3 months.

Suddenly I remember I didn't take my medicine for my heart ailment. I rush towards the room where I have left my pills. This is not good. I should have remembered to take my medicine on time. My heart can't bear any delay in the dosage and I immediately start to feel pain.

I was about to open the door when I hear Armaan's faint voice but loud enough for me to hear.

"I marry her only because my father was forcing me that if I didn't marry her he won't inherit me his property and she is just a rich snobbish girl who is nowhere near you. She is not even my type."

"I only love you and will marry you. I will divorce her once my father will inherit all of his property to me. Believe me. "

I notice a tear roll down my eye as I listen to him. I know he doesn't want to marry me, he doesn't like me. But he will divorce me when he will get what he wants. He thinks of me as a toy. And he has someone else in his heart.

Suddenly I feel immense pain in my chest. I clenched my heart when hot tears started to ooze out of my ears making everything blurry.

I flinch when the door opens suddenly revealing him.
