Chapter 5

Hey everyone, I have rewritten this about three times because. I have not been happy with the way things were going. This is one the ways that I liked I hope you do as well.

"Don't move, unhand her Mehek heard someone say, she turned around and saw the watchman, from the front gate. Awara.

"Well I guess we will have to cut this meeting short, my beautiful bhabi He smiled at her like a snake. Awara pushed him towards the gate, telling him he was not allowed to be here.

When he reached the gate, Mehek shuddered as she noticed him turn and give her a leering look. She went quickly back into the house and locked the door.

She winced as she noticed the purple blue bruise he had left on her wrist.

Shaurya would be angry.

{}{}{}

Mehek was about to put the kettle on when she heard, Shaurya open the door. She covered her hand with her peach dupatta.

"Mehek I told you not to leave the house He shouted, Mehek winced. His face was red, and his eyes were glinting dangerously.

"I just wanted to walk around the yard Mehek said pouting, He did not soften even a bit. Mehek touched the sides of his waist and gripped his shirt with clenched fists.

"I am sorry She said, he closed his eyes and exhaled.

"I am hiring more security. If Vicky looks at you even ever again I will kill him Mehek shuddered at the coldness in his tone.

She felt reluctant but she slowly felt her hands go around his chest and pressed her cheek against his chest. She closed her eyes and slowly felt the heat from his body seep through onto her. At first, he did not hug her back, she felt him slowly melt, like an ice block and then his hands held her against him, tightly. Mehek could barely breath, yet she had never felt more alive.

"You never said you had a family

"I don't have one

"Oh Mehek said, unsure of what else to say, she tried to pull away but he held her still. His beard tickled her skin by her collar.

{}{}{}

Mehek had changed for bed, and was wearing a loose pale blue nightie that came to her knees.

She pulled the covers back and Shaurya walked in just his boxes. Mehek was never able to look him in the eye, when he was shirtless. She felt him pulled her against him. His hands held her back against his front. She felt his erection and her blush became more prominent around her cheeks.

Mehek felt him stiffen.

"What is this? He pulled her wrist up and, his expression grew darker.

"It really is not that bad

"He did this didn't he how dare that son of bitch touch you! Mehek tried to calm him down but he did not allow her near him.

"I will break his hands

"No, please calm down

"Only I can touch my wife Shaurya said, pulling her against him. Mehek felt him lift her chin until her gaze met his.

"If anyone touches you I will kill them. Only I can touch you He repeated. Mehek nodded and allowed him to hold her. She had never saw him so utterly feral and possessive.

That night he never let her sleep.

{}{}{}

Shaurya had taken the day off and was watching tv. Mehek yawned, He had grumpy next to him, Mehek smiled. Shaurya who had turned and looked at her did a double take at her smile. He looked almost dazed. Mehek bent down and picked grumpy up.

"Well aren't you adorable? She asked him and almost laughed when she saw Shaurya raise his brow and proceed to ignore her.

"Can we watch something other than News? She asked him, He frowned.

"You should watch the news. You need to know what is going on in the world

Mehek pouted and tried to take the remote away from him. He let her and sighed, when she put on DDLJ.

Before he could move. Mehek placed her head on his lap.

Half way into the movie, Mehek noticed he had fallen asleep. She reached out and touched his nose with her index finger.

She felt something vibrate against her cheek. It was his phone. She pulled it out of his pocket.

Someone was calling him. The name HARISH. Was on the display. Mehek hit the green accept.

"I know you are very busy after getting married to that poor little orphan. But I need you to come home. I am not feeling well boy... Mehek heard a gruff voice spit out.

"Why are you not saying anything? When you phoned the last time, you were all mouthy about your little bride, being your choice...Now what boy?

"Hello, uhm Shaurya is sleeping. I will let him know that he should call you later Mehek said softly.

"Who is this?

"M-Mehek

"Ahh my new daughter in law, I wonder how long before he gets bored by you. Tell my useless son that he needs to see me. Or he is out of the will. And I mean it. I will give Vicky everything even his mother's house if he does not follow through

The call was cut before Mehek could say another word. Mehek put the phone off. And stared of into space. Shaurya had a father. He had never mentioned him before. He had said he had no family.

{}{}{}{}

Mehek heard Shaurya come into their bedroom.

"Why did you answer my phone? He asked her, Mehek looked at the floor guiltily.

"I am sorry She said softly.

"Your father said he wants to see you Mehek felt Shaurya's face grow cold.

"He is not my father

"Shaurya...

"He is nothing but someone who got my mother pregnant.

"Shaurya don't speak like that, with such bitterness Mehek said going to his side.

"Mehek...

"Shaurya please just listen. He asked me to tell you that he wants to see you, if you don't go to him...he said Vicky will get your mother's house and he will take you off his will Shaurya snorted.

"He thinks I am as stupid as he is, I want nothing from him. My mother's house no longer matters to me He said looking away, Mehek touched his clenched fist. His hand loosened and grabbed hers, his much larger hand swallowed her own.

{}{}{}

Mehek was running out the door when she tripped over the carpet and fell. She screamed out.

The lunch she had made for Shaurya fell onto the floor, tears ran down her cheeks.

Shaurya seemed to have heard her cry had come back to the main house.

"Are you ok? He asked bending down and picking her up. Mehek winced, her ankle hurt.

Shaurya placed her on the sofa and tried to touch her leg, Mehek cried out, making him hold his hands back.

He pulled out his phone.

"Hello, my wife fell. She hurt her leg. Yes, can you come now...

"I will get you some ice. Mehek noticed his white suit was messed with the food that had fallen on the floor.

Her heart in her chest expanded like a balloon. She was in love with him. It was such a beautiful feeling, she felt like the sun had just rose over her.

It warmed her entirely. So much so when he came back into the room, he looked into her eyes and paused.

{}{}{}

He took another day off work and several more, to carry her around, and make sure her ankle healed properly. Mehek sighed as she noticed him looking at her.

"You have become quite insatiable He said coming towards her and kissing her nose.

Mehek blushed, how could she explain to him how she felt.

All she wanted to do was remain near him, have him hold her. Touch her, possess her. She took his hand and pressed it against her cheek.

{}{}{}

Shaurya left for work the next Monday morning Mehek had watched him drive away and was busy sipping a glass of juice that he had ordered her to finish before leaving. Mehek heard noises of shouting, she peered out the windows and saw there was someone at the gate.

It was an older man. Several guards were holding him back.

Mehek went outside to see what was going on. Shaurya had gotten off his car.

"You are not welcome here She heard him say.

"Keeping your little bride like a caged bird

"You are not to go anywhere near her

"Why? Afraid I will tell her what a horrible son you are

"Don't turn this on me. My mother would still be alive today if you had protected her properly

"I did protect her The older man coughed. Shaurya noticed her standing there and walked towards her quickly blocking the older man away from her.

"Go inside He said to her, Mehek turned slowly, she felt Shaurya walk her back to the house.

"I don't want you involved with him. He is toxic

Mehek hugged him, Shaurya inhaled the scent of her hair and relaxed. Mehek felt him kiss the top of her head.

When she moved a little back he anchored her to him by her waist.

He kissed her forehead.

{}{}{}

It was passed midnight when Shaurya came home. Mehek relaxed, she had been worried he had been in an accident.

He had rolled up his sleeves and loosened his tie. Mehek walked towards him, in one of his shirts. He saw her and sighed.

He pulled her against him and kissed her, his hands entangling in her hair. Mehek felt like she would explode, his hand went underneath the shirt and squeezed her bottom, pressing her against his male hardness.

{}{}{}

Mehek woke up, with Shaurya propped on his elbow watching her.

"You look like an angel when you sleep He said kissing her cheek.

Mehek felt him pull her against him.

{}{}{}

Mehek was cleaning out the kitchen when she heard, Shaurya call her. She opened the cupboard and went inside, deciding in the moment to scare him. He came inside and looked around for her. She waited quietly a few minutes before she heard a loud sound outside as if something crashed against the wall.

Maybe this was not such a good, idea. Mehek went towards the lounge where a chair had been flung against the wall. Shaurya saw her and quickly picked her up and held her against him.

"Where were you Mehek? I looked around the house, Where did you go? He asked kissing her mouth briefly and pulling back.

"I was hiding in the cupboard She admitted guiltily.

Shaurya frowned and let go of her.

"Why would you do that?

"I wanted to see what you would do if I disappeared

"You would not, If you ever left me I would find you and drag you back here and chain you to my bedroom He told her deadpanned. Mehek looked at him incredulous.

"Don't speak like that

"Like I am just some pet that you keep

"You are mine

"I am not an item you bought at some store

"Well someone seems to have forgotten how they really ended up here

Mehek tried to hide the hurt she felt.

Was that all she would ever be to him, something he had bought? That he owned and did not want to share so he kept it hidden away so the novelty would never wear off. Mehek pushed him away and went to the bathroom, fat tears blurred her vision, she sat on the toilet after opening the tap and letting run. She ignored Shaurya who called her from outside.

She had betrayed her family by allowing herself to love him. She could not help it. She was fooling herself into believing he cared for her. All he wanted from her was plain and simple sex. Nothing else.
