SHREYA'S POV

I inhaled for the sake of my dear life!

But the thing that filled my nostrils was fresh air and not that chloroform. Someone yanked him from me and I fall on the ground coughing madly. I started to take in the oxygen with an open mouth to fill my lungs.

I looked at my left and my husband was beating the shit out of him and give my body its life back.

Shaurya was lying on the ground and Atharva was kicking him with his feet. He was just groaning in pain.

"I spare you many times considering it as your childish behavior. But not now. You have crossed your limits by hurting her. I will not leave you this time." he kicking him like he is a football.

He then sat on his stomach, keeping it in between his knees, and started punching his jaw. I collected the energy and I stood up facing his back, looking down at Shaurya.

My hands and legs were shaking badly partly because of the previous scene and partly because of looking at my husband in this demeanor.

I have faced his anger but have never seen him in this much rage. His posture was screaming anger. His anger has crossed all the limits.

"How dare you come here?"

'Punch'

"How dare you touch my wife?"

'Punch'

"How dare you hurt her?"

'Punch'

Blood started to ooze out of Shaurya's lips. Atharva was using his rings to beat him.

In a minute his face was covered with blood. I was getting scared now by the way he was beating him. The blood was making me anxious. My heart was beating so loud that even I can hear it.

Shaurya used his hands to push him but he took his hands in his intertwining the fingers and rolled his palms back.

He moved his head up and screamed in pain.

Shaurya looked at me and pleaded me to stop him with his eyes. Although he deserves it but I cannot stand this anymore. He has already beat him a lot.

I was scared to death by looking at his beastly side and was not able to muster enough courage to say something to him or stop him.

Shaurya was continuously looking at me with pleading eyes.

"Don't look at her"

He said and punched his eyes.

Oh God! This is too much.

"Athrava...s..stop"

I requested him but he ignored it like I don't even exist.

"You chocked her na? Let me give you the taste of the same. Let me tell you how it feels like"

He said this in a low but threatening tone.

He then clutched both of his hand in one and grabbed his neck from the other hand. Putting pressure on it.

"No, Atharva, don't," I said putting my hand on his shoulder but he jerked my hand and applied more pressure on his neck.

Shaurya started to thrash his legs. Tears started to form in my eyes.

"Atharva, please stop. Please! He will die. Please!"

"Then let him die. He deserves it" he said

"Oh No! You cannot be a killer. Please stop" I pleased again but he ignored.

Shaurya's eyes were becoming wide with every passing second and the nerves of his brain were popping up.

And all my pleads were going in vain. He was not stopping.

"Atharva tumhe meri Kasam hai, ruk jao (Please stop, for my sake)"

I sob escaped my mouth.

And he stopped. He loosened his grip and stood up looking at me in full rage. His eyes were throwing fireballs on me and his body was shouting nothing less than anger. Drops of sweat were trickling down his head. Blood was dripping down his knuckles. That was scaring me to death. I have never ever seen him in such a posture.

Shaurya took the opportunity and ran from there. He started to run behind him but I stopped him by grabbing his arm. He looked down at me.

"Don't leave me alone. Please!"

Guards started to come back running. He looked at them in pure fury.

"Don't show me your face again. You all are fired" he screamed

"But," one of the guards said

He raised his hand up stopping him there.

They looked at my side pleadingly. He took a step hiding me from there pleading eyes and they started to leave.

He will not listen to me no matter how much I plead. I will talk to him on this matter later when he will be calm.

In a second he turned my side with full force and I flinched back. His jaws and fists were clenched tight. His eyes were looking directly at my soul. I looked down. It was not my fault but the way he was acting was scaring me a lot.

He took my wrist in his hand and in one swift turned me around, dragging me in the mansion with him. Like always he was taking his animalistic steps without caring about me. I just ran behind him trying to match his steps without saying anything.

He pushed me in and locked the main door.

"MADHU!"

"MADHU!"

He called her name.

"Sh..she is not at h...home"

He looked at me and started to take a step towards me.

"Where is she?" He asked in a low but threatening tone.

I stayed mum. And take a step backward.

"You are injured. Let me bandage your hand first" I said with little tears in my eyes.

"This is not the answer to my question. I asked WHERE IS SHE?" He shouted and my back touched the wall.

He stopped at a hand distance from me.

"Bolo (say something)" he said and punched the wall.

"Do..don't hurt yourself?" I said while crying

"Just answer me dammit" he again punched the wall.

"She is at her home" I answered

"So tell her to stay there only. There is no need to come here again"

"No, you cannot do this she has taken care of you for your whole life," I said

"I don't care"

"But I care. And that was me who gave her permission to take a half a day leave. So punish me" I said

He took a step aside and started to punch the wall.

"Why you did this? Why?" He said in between his punches. Wall was now stained in his blood.

"Stop! Don't hurt yourself"

He didn't stop.

"Atharva, please! y..you are scaring me," I said while crying loudly.

He stopped and looked at me for a second and smashed his lips with mine. He roamed his hands on my body like he was assuring that I am fine.

There was so much anger and force in that kiss. It was feeling like he was pouring all of his anger in that kiss. It was hurting but I let him do that. Because if this is the way to calm him then let it be. Otherwise, he will hurt himself more. After a minute of assault on my lips which felt like an eternity, he pulled out.

Now there was a little softness and worry in his eyes. He took my face in between his palms.

"What if something has happened to you?" He asked softly. Concern was clearly heard in his voice.

"Nothing has happened to me. I am fine" I assured him.

"What if he had taken you with him. Do you have an idea of what he could have done to you?"

"No one can do anything to me when I have you, "

He hugged me tightly. Squeezing me with his arms, lifting me little up from the floor.

I put my ear above his heart that was beating so fast. And it was screaming fear.

The fear of losing me!

I can feel his breath on my neck that was heavy and uneasy.

We stayed like this for God knows how many minutes.

Slowly, slowly his breath and beats became normal and I kissed him on his chest right above his heart.

He nuzzled my neck and was now looking normal. I pulled away from him a little.

"Let me hold you like this," he said

"Let me dress your hand first," I said

I made him sit on a chair and brought the first aid box and removed the dry blood from his knuckles and then applied Dettol on the wound.

He was just staring at me the whole time and I was just busy in my work ignoring his stares. I have got used to doing my work under his stares because he used to do the same in the office too without caring that I am getting uncomfortable because of his continuous gaze.

I looked up and smiled when I was done.

"You know your kiss is more effective than this ointment. It would recover fast only if you kiss there," he said in a flirtatious tone.

"Ewwww....dont act like a teenager boy," I said slapping on his injured hand unknowingly.

"Ahh," he groaned.

"Oh sorry" I took his hand and kissed on it.

I looked up when I realized what I was doing. He was already smiling looking at me and then we broke into laughter.

I always get tears when I laugh. He raised his hand and wiped them with the pad of his thumb.

"You know what? You look breathtaking when you smile," he said while looking into my eyes and moved his face closer to mine.

I know where this was heading to but I was hungry. I immediately stood up. He gave me a 'what happened' look.

"You know what? I am hungry. I am setting the table, you go and change clothes"

He whined and tried to pull me to his lap.

"I am really hungry," I said moving ahead.

He stood up and turned me.

"I am not going to leave you alone now. You will go with me from tomorrow" he said

"That's what I was saying in the morning. But you did not take me with you" I pouted.

He kissed my pouted lips.

"This will not happen again," he said

"But go for now," I said while pushing him.

He looked around like he was checking something.

"Oh fo Atharva, there is no one in the house except you and me, until and unless you are having a ghost in your home," I said

He chuckled and went upstairs after kissing my cheek.

I moved towards the kitchen. All the time there was a stinging pain in my foot. I looked closely and it was little red and swallowed because of his stomping.

This reminded me of that incident. Thank God he arrived early today!

He came down and we have our dinner silently. Like every time he ate so fast.

"Finish your dinner and go to our room. I will join shortly"

He can never change. He never forgets to order me.

He left. And I know where he is going. I have to stop him. I finish my dinner fast and headed towards his direction.

I took a glass and poured the drink in it after taking a seat in front of him.

"What are you doing?" He asked me

"The same thing that you are doing"

"But why?"

"Because I am your wife. And as your wife, this is my duty to support you in everything"

I said and raised the glass to my lips.

"No, you will not drink. Put the glass down, right now"

"Ok, then you will also not drink"

I said putting the glass down.

"This is not fair," he said

"Ok, so I have a fair deal for you," I said

He raised his eyebrow asking me to continue.

"Either you can have a drink or your wife," I said and his pupils dilated.

"This is not happening. I want both of you" he said

"I am not going back on my words. Now, the decision is yours. Me or this" I said pointing towards the drink.

"I cannot stay without this," he said

"Ok cool, go ahead," I said standing up.

"But don't you dare to step in the room after drinking this," I said in anger and stomped towards the room.

I still remember the thing told by Prem that he has dragged him from bars at mid-night many times. So it is not going easy for him to leave that addiction. But this is not good for his health and I just hate drinkers. I didn't say anything to him in the past months because literally, I didn't care what he was doing with himself or his life. But now I care. Now, he has to do that. For me!

I lied on the bed and covered myself with the duvet and started counting. I am sure he would return by the time I count 5.

'1'

'2'

'Thud'

'Yippee, he is in'

"What is this behavior Shreya?" He shouted

I slowly moved the duvet, showing him my eyes.

"What?" I asked innocently.

"You know it was with me when no one was there for me. It was the companion of my loneliness" he said sadly.

"But now you are not alone. You have me" I said

"It is not that easy. I cannot live without it and especially after today's scene" he said

"Ok, so who has stopped you. Go and do whatever you want to do man" I said angrily and turned to cover myself completely with the duvet.

A minute passed but there was no sound to be heard.

Maybe he has left.

This broke my heart.

I closed my eyes.

But suddenly I felt a jerk as he yanked the duvet completely off of me. I turned to lie straight on my back and he jumped on me without giving me any time to react. He was already shirtless.

"You have got yourself into a very wrong deal biwiji. You know I drink daily and if I am not going to get that drug daily then I want this drug every night" he said pointing at me.

My eyes widened. Every night?

"Yes, you yourself said that either I can have you or drink. Then I chose you to relieve all my stress and tiredness" he smirked devilishly.

I gulped and he laughed.

He attacked my neck without any warning and did things in his way all night.
