I was strolling in the big garden of palace taking in the beauty of greenery around me as it was evening and soon going to be 'Magrib time', the birds were chirping around the cloudy sky making their way towards their homes, the slight rays of sun were shinning on the flowers as the sun was setting slowing, getting himself lost behind the clouds. The wind was chilly enough to make me shiver but a smile pulled up on my lips.

I was enjoying my alone moment when Shaheen interrupted me and my smile from before replaced a poker face "Isn't it beautiful 'My Lady' just as you are"? He asked pointing towards the rose in his hands which he was forwarding towards me.

I instantly frowned looking at the flower when by mistake i inhaled. I was going to jerk the flower away from his hand when i sneezed and ordered him angrily "Get it away from me" i again sneezed making him frown.

He threw the flower away hurriedly before asking in somewhat concerning tone "Are you Okay My Lady"? I didn't answered him, i turned to leave when he caught my wrist firmly pulling me towards the sitting area of the garden ordering the servants behind him "Get me a glass of warm water"

"Shaheen leave my hand right this moment" I ordered in a stern voice struggling to get my hand free from his grasp but he was obviously more stronger than me.

Paying me no heed, he made me sit on the bench and sat down beside me finally letting my hand go "Don't you ever dare to touch me again or else i will personally cut off your hands and don't take my words as a warning, take them as a promise" with each word, my glare deepened at him whereas he was unbothered about my threat.

"Are you Okay now Ayzal"? His voice was laced with concern but my mind got stuck at my name from his mouth. No one in this palace knows my name then how did he knew?

"How did you know my name"? My voice was cold and stern whereas my tone was commanding "Well nothing much, just a little investigation" He shrugged his shoulders with a small smile on his lips.

I narrowed my eyes at him but didn't asked further, in the meantime, a servant came holding a gold plated tray with a glass of water in it "I don't need it" I refused right away because i didn't wanted to drink anything given from him.

"So, Ayzal......" I cutted him off in between correcting his mistake grimly "It's 'Your Highness' for you. Don't ever take my name from your mouth" He narrowed his eyes at me and then nodded his head with a smirk playing on his lips.

He gestured a servant to give him something. I gasped in astonishment as i saw a beautiful box which was covered by a glass cover and beautiful different types of butterflies could be seen from it "Here! It's a gift for you My Lady" A question was swirling around my head, why was he behaving so good to me? There's surely a scheme behind his every action.

As mush as i was tempted to accept it but i was going to refuse him when i was pulled in someone's warm embrace and sound of clicking metals entered in my ears. I very well knew this familiar scent, familiar chest as every morning i wake up in this same embrace. My hands were placed on his hardcore chest that i could feel his strong heartbeat against my hands.

I was feeling my waist was on fire as he was holding me close with his hands were passing a tickling sensation to my spine. Ever so slowly i looked up to see his clenched jaw and darkened eyes glaring deep in Shaheen's soul.

"Behave yourself Shaheen because i will not think twice to drop you dead at my feet" His murderous voice resounded in the garden, it was so cold that i shuddered in his embrace. I was getting lost in him when a chuckle brought me back, narrowing my eyes, i looked towards Shaheen. He was still smiling like an idiot even when Yuhaan's bodyguards were pointing their guns at his head. He is really stupid.

"Brother! Why so protective when you are going to leave her soon"? Within a second, Shaheen's neck was grabbed by Yuhaan in a tight grip and i was left alone without his warm embrace "Shut your f*cking mouth" Yuhaan threatened him cursing out aloud and i was so shocked and numb to react. My eyes were widened seeing Yuhaan holding Shaheen's neck in a tight grip but i guess Shaheen didn't wanted to live because once again he uttered nonsense.

"S-she's q-quite a b-beauty" with his words Yuhaan's grip tightened more. I instantly held Yuhaan's arm pleading him politely "Yuhaan please leave him, he is just provoking you. Let's just go to the room" Yuhaan instantly passed me his death glare before throwing Shaheen away.

Without breaking the eye contact with me, he ordered his bodyguards in a grim voice "4 degree punishment, i don't want to see him till our stay here" I was also holding his dangerous eye contact but from my peripheral vision i saw his bodyguards visibly gulping at his words.

With that said, he dragged me straight to the room. His hold was firm on my hands that i was fearing a scar will form. Going in the room, he closed the door with a thud and pinned me to the door itself. My one hand was folded behind my back and the other was placed on the door beside my face. He bended himself to my eye level and glint i saw in his eyes was so dangerous that i felt my legs wobbled. I shrunk back in the door as he inched closer to my face.

I wriggled my hands which were in his tight hold but infront of his strong appearance, my weak attempts were futile "I f*cking told you to stay the f*ck away from him. Didn't i"? He asked greeting his teeth in anger and cursed in between. I closed my eyes and slightly flinched under his intense gaze.

When i kept quiet, i felt him taking a deep sigh before banging the door hard beside my face and loosening his hold on my hands. I opened my eyes to see him turning away from me. I don't know what got into me that i held his wrist "Yuhaan....." I paused and stood infront of him without leaving his hand.

"He was the one to give me a rose, you know my allergy about roses right? I started to sneeze profusely, he made me sit on the bench, it all just happened in a moment. I told him to stay away from me, but you know he knows my name and i can confidently say that not just name, he knows much more than this....." I took a deep sigh, i don't even know why i am even telling him.

"But i promise i will be more careful in the future" I passed him a small smile and leaving his wrist, i turned to leave when he spun me around by force. I landed straight in his chest, my already opened hair waves spread around his shoulders, my both hands were trapped in between our chests and his hands were wrapped around my petite waist securing me in his arms.

I gripped his coat tightly as my heart was thumping loudly. His warm hands around my cold clothed waist were an torture, they were creating an havoc in my body, knots were twisting weirdly in my stomach and his intense gaze was making me breathless.

"You are smart Bivi «wife»" his voice right now seemed a seduction trap for me and unfortunately i was getting trap. He softly pushed my hair behind my ear and whispered so slowly near my ears that unconsciously i closed my eyes tightening my hold on his coat.

Just as i closed my eyes, they were snapped open when i felt him softly lifting my chin up "Remember, always keep your eyes open when i talking to you Bivi «wife»" Although his voice was polite but his tone was commanding. I innocently blinked my eyes at his words as i really wanted to close my eyes at the pleasure i was having. He was sensuously rubbing his thumb on my clothed waist making my mind to go numb.

This was a bloody torture!

My mind was in a daze but i wasn't completely out of my mind. Just when i was going to push him away, he softly pinched my nose saying "It's red Bivi «wife» don't tell me you are blushing" with a low chuckle he left me dumbfounded going to the bathroom.

I stood there dumbfounded looking at the closed door of bathroom when his one particular word striked my mind.

He called me Bivi? Not just once but 3 times!!!

In the dark study of palace, Yuhaan was sitting on the sofa puffing out the cigarette he was smoking. Infront of him Tayseer was respectful standing and asked him politely "Your Highness! The other royal families are requesting to meet you in the matter of East Junagadh land" Yuhaan nodded but didn't uttered a single word as if he was thinking something hard.

"With your permission Your Highness, shall i arrange a party in an honour of your crown ceremony and invite all of them to officially refuse them for that land" Yuhaan again nodded and stood up putting the wasted cigarette on the astray.

He walked straight towards the door but Tayseer stopped him "Your Highness......" Tayseer trailed off when Yuhaan's pissed off voice resounded in the study "Now what Tayseer? My Bivi «wife» is waiting for me unlike you who doesn't have wife because you wanted your freedom" replying to him sarcastically he walked out straight towards his room muttering slowly but enough for Tayseer to listen.

"How to tell this Dumbo «tayseer» that she can't sleep without me" a smile was pulled up on his stern face just with a single thought of her in his arms. Unknown to him, he was desperate to hold his stubborn Bivi in his arms.

Tayseer was dumbfounded looking at his Majesty's sudden outburst. Just one question was swirling in his mind 'wasn't he fine just a second ago'?

Sure a man with a wife behaves differently, so, he was better off without a ruling creature, doesn't he?
