C5 Chapter 5

Sunlight peeped inside the room, directly hitting our Billionaire Boy's face, making him groan. He sat up on the bed, rubbing his eyes and yawning like a baby.

Seeing the room decorated beautifully last night, it flashed in front of his eyes. He got off of the bed and opened the door.

Looking down, he found her sleeping in an uncomfortable position, curling like a ball. His gaze travelled to her hand, which had dried blood marks, while her beautiful innocent face portrayed sadness and pain.Her cheeks had dried tears. Her lips pouted as a few strands were falling on her cheeks and forehead. The vermillion on her hairline and the nuptial chain around her neck enhanced her beauty.

His eyes softened seeing her like this, but that changed into hatred when he recalled everything. He reminded himself that she was a gold digger.

He had to wake her up as he didn't want to be late for the flight.

"Sharanya, wake up," he said, and didn't get any response.

"Wakeup," he said again.

"Let me sleep, maa." He heard her sleepy soft voice with a little bit of huskiness.

"Wake up Sharanya, it's not your mother's home." This time he shouted angrily, and she woke up with a jerk and hissed at the next moment because of her injured hand.

She stood up and looked down, waiting for him to say something.

"Go and get ready. "I don't want to get late because of you!" he shouted, making her flinch.

"Thi..this roo..m" She stuttered as if asking him to step inside the room.

He nodded and she stepped in and went straight to the washroom.

She looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her hairline was red because of the vermillion, and her nuptial chain was shining around her neck.

She smiled sadly because she knew her fate and stepped under the shower after stripping.

Sharanya's pov.

After taking a nice shower, I wore a bathrobe. Shit, I didn't have my outfit here.. ughhh now what to do? Now how would I go outside like this?

OK, calm down, Sharanya. With shivering hands, I opened the door and sighed, seeing no one was there. I found a new pair of outfits placed on the bed with bangles, makeup, and everything.

Wohoo Who did that? I thought, then quickly locked the room door as I didn't want him to step in.

I quickly put on the outfit and combed my hair. I was never a makeup fan, so I applied the vermillion and wore the bangles. Just then, I heard a loud bang on the door. I ran into my room and went to open the door.It must be that brown-eyed monster.

Yeah, as expected.

"Why did you lock the door, huh?" He asked angrily, stepping in, and I took two steps back, being scared.

"I was... changing," I explained.

"What is this, huh?" He shouted, clutching my wrist, making me hiss because of the cut.

"No one knows that you're married, then why all this?" he shouted, and opened my bangles a bit harshly. No, Sharanya, you shouldn't cry in front of him. You aren't weak.

"It is not needed. Stop behaving like a typical Indian wife because you are just a gold digger," he shouted, rubbing my hairline to wipe the vermillion.

I couldn't hold my tears back and they rolled down my cheeks.

"You don't deserve this expensive diamond nuptial chain. It's not for you. You don't have the class to wear it," he said and clutched my nuptial chain.

Yeah, right, I don't have class to wear those.

"I'll take it off, but you don't need to break it,"

I said softly, holding his hand.

He jerked my hand, making me stumble. I balanced myself and opened my nuptial chain. I placed it in his hand and looked at him with my teary eyes.

"You're right, sir, all these things don't belong to me, I... don't have standards," I said as I exited the room.

I descended the stairs and found Maa and Lekha ma'am were sitting there.

"Sharanya, why don't you wear your bangles?"

I put everything in your room and where is your nuptial chain?" Lekha Mam questioned.

"Good morning, Mom." It was a brown-eyed monster. She also wished him back and then turned towards me.

"Actually, Lekha ma'am, it's a secret marriage and I don't think it's needed, so I didn't wear the bangles. And about the chain, I gave that back to Neil, sir," I answered, lekha ma'am, looking at that brown-eyed monster.

" OK, leave all this, let's have breakfast," Ma'am said.

We had our breakfast silently, and then it was time for us to leave for Mumbai.

Lekha ma'am told me just to pack my essential things, not the clothes, as she had already arranged a wardrobe for me. But I still packed a few of my outfits.

Maa was also going with us as her treatment would start in Mumbai only. It would be my first flight. I was so scared.

_______________________

Why God, my seat was just beside the brown-eyed monster and I was between my maa and SIR.

I started praying to Ayyiappa because I was so scared as the flight was about to take off, while Mama was so chilled as if it wasn't her first time.. I chucked my thoughts and glanced at that brown-eyed monster who was reading a book. When I felt it start, I clutched his hand tightly, shutting my eyes.

"It's fine, my child, I am here with you." I heard Maa's voice and calmed down a bit.

I opened my eyes and saw I was still clutching his hand. I left his hand and my eyes went wide because there were marks of my nails on his white flesh. I looked at him, nervous and scared. Please don't let this monster shout at me in front of so many people. It would be highly embarrassing.

I sighed when he didn't say anything and continued reading his book.
