Radhika's POV

"We have about half an hour before we have dinner with the family. Let's make use of this precious time." I looked at him, dumbfounded.

"Why the shock?!" He asked smirked.

"I just..." I fumbled with words but he angled his face closer to me making it difficult for me to even breath let alone speak," You know how I love the effect I have on you." He placed his hand on my pounding heart," This never gets old for me."

What never gets old for him?! What is he playing at?!

"What?!" I asked him.

He kissed me," Nothing forget what I said."

"But..." He kept ravishing my mouth with fervour,"Are you going to walk to our room or I have to carry you?!"

I won't embarrass myself in front of all because I know he has no shame and qualms of doing it!

Sensing my silence, he winked," So carry it is then." He crouched to lift me up but I would not have it," Fine! I will walk you don't have to take the trouble of carrying me."

"Trouble?! I don't even feel anything when I lift you. You are very lightweights." He mocked.

Did he just insinuate that I am skinny?!

"You mean to say I am skinny?!" I asked, offended.

"No you have flesh in the right places but you are too thin and I would like you to put on some weight."

The nerve of him to dictate how much I should weight!

"You are so crass to comment on my weight."

He rolled his eyes," No I am not. What's wrong in me having an opinion about my wife's body?!"

"You have an opinion because you compare me to other women you have had in your bed!" I glared at him.

I know he has a scandalous past but I will not have him compare me to those women. I hate how he thinks that I am just a toy he plays with and tosses it away when he is bored.

He gripped my neck,"Don't you think you have grown a bitchy mouth?!"

"I will not have you compare me to other women, I don't like it!"

"What makes you think I am comparing you to those women?!" He smiled with mirth.

"You have a type and you said that I am too thin for your liking." I said in a low tone as I clearly was exhausted by how callous he was been about my feelings as if I was some rag doll.

"I do have a type in women but what I meant was you should put on some healthy weight. You should eat more."

Healthy weight?! All this fuss about my eating habits and not about my body type! He cared about my health! That is a lot to take in and not be bowled over by it.

I gasped out"So you never compare...."

He shushed me,"I never compared you to other women and if you forgot then let me remind you that." He grabbed the wedding necklace that I was wearing," You are wearing this not them! You are mine not them!"

" I never want to hear you putting yourself in the same category as them, do you get that?!" He demanded asked and I could not help but nod at his

He captured my lips not leaving me a second to process what just happened or did it really happen or was I hallucinating. He kissed me raw until I could feel blonches on my lips.

Tears filled my eyes" It hurts."

He licked and sucked my lips throughly until it eased my pain,"As it should when you fill your head with clutter."

"We don't have time for a quickie now because of you." He glared at me as if having sex out in open was the best idea ever!

"You are insatiable! Can't you function for few hours without sex?!"

My God! He is such a satyromaniac! Can't he stay calm for some time and not think about sex?!

"I can't because I love sex and you might blame it all on me but you enjoy it too." He replied with an evil glint in his eyes.

I enjoy sex with him?! He is gotta be kidding!

I repulsed,"No! I don't enjoy anything it's all you..."

"Really?! Want a repeat of morning here?!" He husked as his hand reached behind and pulled me closer to his groin!

I gasped even I felt his boner against my sensitive

I looked away from him as his gaze penetrated right through me,"You have no shame..."

"You are my wife and what's wrong in that?! Stop being so prude there is nothing wrong in me wanting to fuck my wife all the time." He replied shamelessly!

I was mortified by the way he was seducing me out in open and he had no care or concern of the world around us.

"Will you stop with the dirty talk?! You are corrupting me!"

"Then let me corrupt you completely." 
He kissed me hard, shutting me up and pushing his tongue into my mouth he kept kissing me with force. My hand fisted his black shirt at his shoulders and his hands were all over me. He pulled me closer than ever and for a fraction of second, I opened my eyes to look at him but he had his eyes closed and there was serenity on his face.

His fingers figeted with my blouse and that's when all the pleasure that coursed through my body came to a screeching halt! What the hell are we doing?! What the hell I am doing?! Making out with him by my own will and that too all out in open!

"Not here!" I jerked him away from me.

"Yeah, I just.....forget...it..." He leaned in and gave me a chaste kiss on the lips.

He cupped my cheek,"I want you to wait for me in our room after dinner. Wear red!"

The gentleness in his voice and the longing in his voice made me go red in the face. He was being too nice and I could not help but wonder is there some game behind all this. He had already fooled me once and labeled it as Oscar winning performance and I would be such a fool to trust him again. But the way he held my hand, intertwined our fingers and gave my hand a tender squeeze, he was making it so difficult for me to stay focused on being indifferent to his charms.

When we sat down for dinner with everyone else, he even asked the help what she had in vegetarian?! He was being too sweet to me and I couldn't digest the sweetness from him because this was defying his whole purpose of marrying me. I ate in silence, slowly not really interested in food, I think I had lost my whole appetite.

" What have you thought about Sheikh's proposal?!"

Dracula disturbed the silence of the room!

I looked at Arjun only to see him fuming and I wonder what was it about?!

"We will talk in the study later." He said in a dismissive tone.

"He called me today, complaining that you are ignoring his calls, mails and messages. He could be a good ally to us if we...."

"Mark!" His voice was through the roof and I jumped a little so did Sam and Mariam.

"What part of we will talk in the study, do you don't understand?!"

If he was furious first now he looked as if he would burn down the whole place with the fire in his eyes.

"Arjun, keep your voice down I am talking for your own good." Mark banged his fist on the table causing it to wobble.

"And you can't talk for my own good in the study?! For the last time I don't want to discuss this right now." Arjun said pounding his teeth.

"What is it, bhai?!" Sam finally asked them and thank god, she asked because no one but she could have dared to interfere between them.

Mark smiled vicious,"Oh! He didn't tell you, I thought he did because you both are so close. Anyways I will tell you, you are going to get a new sister in law!"

He glared at me, his eyes filled with loath,"Someone who will represent our family name with grace and not have a traitors blood running in her veins! Arjun is getting a new wife!"

New wife! My whole existence ceased to exist when I processed what he meant and what it meant for me! I will be reduced to nothing if he married again. In our world where women are trophies and only the ones to suffer the most in the ego clashes between powerful men, a woman who has to share her husband with other woman is laughed behind her back and pitied always. And what about my child if I bear any in future?! My blood was cold at the thought of a child now when my own future is uncertain, I don't even know if I have one!

I ran away as fast as my legs could take me. He wants to marry again let him but I won't live to suffer another humiliation! I will end this life once and for all so I will free from him, he will be free from me and have no obstacles in his path. I searched for his shaving kit in the bathroom cabinets and finally found it! I know where he keeps his gun but that drawer is locked so there is no use trying to open it. I had seen a spare blade in his shaving kit when I had accidentally dropped it the other day.

Just one slash, Radhika. I motivated myself to do it but the truth was I was dead scared. I didn't wanted to die, I wanted to live even this hopeless life because somewhere in my heart I had faith that Arjun will change one day but I will not live to see him marry someone else and rip off that glimmer of hope with his own hands. I rather kill that hope with my own hands.

To be continued....
