(The place I described in the chapter is in the above picture.)

Aura POV

I feared but I turned around to free my hand from that person who was catching my wrist tightly. My nerves instantly relaxed when I realised that the person was a old woman may be in her early eighties.

She smiled at me and immediately realised that she was the same old lady who gave me her phone to call Eric in the trail room of the shopping mall. I returned back her smile and asked,
"How are you and what are you doing here?
Do you live here? "

"I'm absolutely fine dear.
No, I don't live here and I swear no one can live in this freezing cold.
But this place is very close to my heart.
This is the place where my husband and me found when we came for trecking. We immediately fell in love with this place and after our marriage we spent all our romantic and most memorable moments of our life here." She said looking around with a beautiful smile.

"Wow! That's very sweet!
Your husband must be so understanding, caring and loving unlike others who only knows different and best ways to hurt and torture people. " I said looking at Mr. Protector who was now looking at me with his eyes narrowed.

"Yes, dear he is very sweet and the same time very naughty !" She said blushing.

"OMG! Her blush is something that I can't even explain. " Her blush excited me more to meet her husband.

"Where is your husband?" I asked looking back at the lady excitedly.

"Enjoying his bachelorhood in heaven dear." She replied with a sad face which immediately made me regret my words.

"I'm so sorry." I said feeling low.

"It's OK dear.
It's not anyone's fault.
It's only his fault.
He loves me so much that he can't see me die in front of his eyes so he left before I can do the same to him .
So selfish like every time!" She said deep in her thoughts

I was about to cry listening to her heartful love story bit my emotional moment was interrupted by Mr. Protector.

"Who is she?" He asked in a low tone near my ear looking quizzically at her .

"My secret friend!" I said in his ear getting a step closer to him with a giggle and I heard a chuckle in response.

"Who is he dear?" She asked me observing Mr. Protector who is staring at her.

I was about to open my mouth but closed when he squeezed my hand tightly and said,
"I am her husband!"

I chocked on my own saliva hearing the word husband! I was about to open my mouth to shout at him that he was not my husband but closed again when I suddenly felt his hot lips on my freezing cold cheeks sending a warmth shiver through my body and turning my cheeks from pale white to pink . His single kiss on my left cheek jammed the neurotransmitters from my neurons making me pin my legs to the ground. Finally I got into my senses and tried to glare at him angrily which I failed miserably by blushing when he winked at me.
Aura, what are you doing?
It's just a kiss on the cheek !
Don't let that kiss affect you.
You are very strong and a small kiss on cheek can't melt you. I tried to get out of his hold but his hold increased on me and he wrapped his hand around my waist pulling me impossibly closer to him which only started blocking my senses.

"You do have a beautiful wife dear!" She said looking at us.

'"No lady, stunningly gorgeous wife! " He said with a smrick looking at me with so much admiration.

"Kids, why are you here in this bad weather?" She asked concernedly.

"Actually we are heading towards north, but we got stucked here due to bad weather conditions." My counterfeit husband said in a matter of fact tone.

"Oh dear ,the weather was going to be more severe as time passes." she said sadly.

"What?
What shall we do now?" I asked feeling low.

I don't want to die by freezing in this cold ! I said to myself loudly.

"Even I don't want to, princess !" My counterfeit husband replied.

"Oh dear,
Don't worry! I'll  not let my favorite couple die.
Follow me !" She said with a smile and we followed her like a lost puppies. We silently followed her on her way as we got down the valley which was very difficult to walk. I fell many times while walking on the slippery snow valley and Mr. Counterfeit husband never failed to catch me from falling.

"So this is my place !"she said showing me a small wooden house which was totally covered with snow like a white blanket on it . I gasped looking at the large frozen waterfall beside it. The view was breathtakingly amazing and I denied to believe the breathtaking view in front of me I couldn't believe my eyes as my eyes feared that It wouldn't last long I couldn't believe I could see such a large frozen waterfall in my life.

"Am I going to leave here?" I asked excitedly looking at my secret friend.

"Yes, you are !" she said handed me the key to the house .

"what I couldn't believe please someone pinch me so that I could wake up from this beautiful day dream !" I said unbelievingly and again look at the beautiful scenery in front of me .

"Ouchh..!" I screamed loudly when my counterfeit husband pinched me hard on my hand which only earned him a glare from me.

"I was just following your orders princess!" He replied with a playful smrick playing on his lips.

"Feel free to use the things there dear." She said looking at the house and then us.

"Thank you lady!" My Mr. Counterfeit husband said with a grin and bowing playfully at her.

"Bye dear.
I hope you enjoy your stay here!
Nice to meet such an amazing couple!
You two are made for each other!" She said and turned to leave.

"Won't you stay with us?" I asked worried that again I will be left alone with Mr. Counterfeit husband.

"No dear, I have so much work in town and I should go now so that I would be able to attend the meeting tomorrow morning .
Don't worry about the key dear as I have an extra key with me and by the way I don't want disturb the romance of you young flocks." She said the last line blushing like an eighteen year old.

"Thank you so much for understanding , lady !" He said with a playful wink which made me blush more.

The lady left leaving me and my counterfeit husband all alone again.

"So?
Will you come inside or shall I take my new bride in bridal style?" She said coming near to me to lift me in his arms.

"No!
I can walk!" I said taking a step away from him.

He again took a step towards me and took the key from me. He unlocked the door and we entered into it together. Yes, together as my Mr. Counterfeit husband doesn't leave my hand. I thought that the house will be messy as the old woman doesn't live here as she told she only visits the house a couple of times in half an year but to my surprise the house was prom and proper.

We walked in and there was only two rooms and as he tried to open the first room we realised that it was locked. I immediately turned the nob of the other room and to my luck it was opened. I quickly rushed into the washroom and released my bladder which I was holding for a long time. The hot water tempted me take a shower and without thinking twice that I had no clothes to wear. After taking the shower for thirth minutes I came out of the washroom wrapping the fresh white towels present at the corner in a neatly folded state. I peeked out of the washroom and took a deep breath that my Mr. Counterfeit husband was no where in sight in room. I quickly locked the room and took a deep breath of relief. I opened the closet and gasped looking at the clothes in front of me. There are loads and loads of dresses of different sizes. Though they seemed old but they all looked like they match up to today's fashion world. I must say that the lady has a very good sense of fashion.I pulled out a knee lenght pastel pink coloured dress which was decorated with pearls on it. It looked very classy but it only reached up my mid thigh.

I got off the room and surprised to see my Mr. Counterfeit husband's yummy back facing me. I cleared my throat to get his attention and I'm glad that I succeeded as he turned towards me. My chin must be touching the floor now as he looked incredibly sexy in the white shirt and a blue rugged jeans. A few tops buttons of his shirt are undone exhibiting his perfectly sculpted muscles . I think he took a shower now as the water from his head started dripping from his hair to his shirt drenching it the way the water droplets travelled.
He looked like the hottest men of the whole universe that I kept sharing an him shamelessly. I swear he was hotter than Fahrenheit .

I quickly came to my senses and looked at him but he was still staring at me with his eyes widened and it made me a good kind of uncomfortable. He was looking at me without blinking his eyes and I again cleared my throat. He immediately looked away and started quickly bottoning his shirt buttons blocking my view.

I neared him and noticed that he was cooking instant noodles and there was a campfire lit at the corner of the house. I stepped out of the house and it suddenly started snowing heavily.

I love snowfall! Me and Eric always played with snow . It was amazing! It felt like small features falling from the sky to the ground. I extended my hand to feel the smooth snow on my hand and I suddenly felt a hand under mine holding the snow with me. I turned around only to see Mr. Fahrenheit standing exactly behind me.

"Beautiful!" I mumbled looking at the view.

"Beautiful! " He said and I turned to him only to see he was staring at me with so much of emotion in his eyes which I couldn't keep my finger on.

He finally came to his senses and wrapped a blanket around me saying,
"You may catch cold princess, let's go inside!"

"Why are you acting as if you care?" I said with a little bit of arrogance.

"Because , I do!" He snapped in a total arrogant way and walked inside dragging me with him. He extended his finger towards the couch and signed me to sit which I completely tried to ignore him. Suddenly I felt his hands on my shoulders and within the next second I was sitting on the couch behind me. He handed me the bowl full of noodles and sat silently on the couch opposite of me with his bowl. He finished his bowl in ten minutes but I as usual didn't complete even the one forth of it.

He was silently waiting for me to finish my bowl may be after an hour I completed all the food he gave me and I was full that my stomach again gold with fullness and I bloated I was very embarrassed but he suddenly laughed and I to join him in my craziness it suddenly hit me that there was only a single bed and there is no chance that I am going to share my bed with him so I ran towards the bed and occupied it I feel that you went over my head and acted like I was sleeping I picked out of the blanket only to see Mr. Fahrenheit standing in front of me with his hands on his hips with wicked expression on his face .

"why are you staring at me!" I asked him making an innocent face .

"Don't you know why?" he said saying his head and raising his eyebrows.

"No!
why ?" I ask him still acting innocent .

"Because you are occupying the whole bed, which of course is also mine!" he said and I just ignored him .

"I don't have a habit of sleeping on the floor and also it's so cold . " I said the pulled the duvet over my head.

"Those must be my lines!" he said raising his eyebrow again.

"I don't like sharing my bed with strangers!" I snapped.

"That's your problem!" he said and jumped on the bed pulling the blanket from me.

" what are you doing?" I spatted angrily.

"Sleeping! At this time normal human beings sleep . He said casually leaning on the head board.

"Ok fine! Then I will sleep on the floor ." I said and got off from the bed with the duvet. I started spreading the blanket on the cold ice like ground thinking how would I manage the whole night on this floor .

"Princess, what are you doing ?
we can share the bed!" he said trying to get off from the bed.

"No!
I don't want to share the bed and not at least with you .
you are a stranger to me and of all other things you killed a person and kidnapped me.
Don't try to get close to me and how do you expect me to share the bed with you by forgetting all those things you did?
I don't trust a person like you !" I snapped at him and angrily grabbed a pillow from the bed and throwed it on the ground thinking it was him that I was throwing on the ground.

"Princess!" He said and I turned around only to bump into his hard rock like chest. I lifted my head head in annoyance and prepared to my mind to shout at him but my tongue got tied when my eyes met his. I exactly couldn't name the emotion whether it is pain, anger, sadness, admiration, adoration, sympathy, concern or love.
Love?! This is the last emotion I expect from a rock like him. I took a step back away from him when I heard him say,
"Princess, I know you don't trust me and I will not force you to trust me. But believe me I will do anything against your will."

"Don't call me princess and let me remind you that you already did that! " I snapped at him.

"That's because . . . . . , "he started and I stopped him by holding my hand against him to stop what ever bullshit he has weaved to show his acting skills.

"OK fine then. If you don't want to share the bed with me then completely alright. But I will never let you sleep on the floor. You can sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the floor. " He said and silently adjusted himself on the ground.

"Good night princess!" He said turning away so that his back was facing me.

"Good night!" I lowly mumbled and I'm not sure if he heard it or not.
What really happened to him?
Why is he behaving different there days !
Did I hurt him?
I snapped at him but he remained silent like a saint. I thought he would kill me by the way I talked to him but he chose to remind silence and give me my space. I fell asleep thinking about him and I woke up from the weird sounds and I looked around thinking it was morning but it was still dark. The weird sounds were getting increased and it sounded more and more weird.
