Chapter 28
Chapter 28
Getting no response, she saw the door of the spare room was open..it wasn't locked from inside. She pushed it and walked in only to get a shock..
The whole room was a mess. Files and books were on the floor, broken vas was scattered all over.
"Neil, what happened? "You OK?" She asked, panicked that his back was facing her.
Hearing her voice, he clenched his fist, taking a deep breath to calm himself down, but it wasn't helping him, not even a bit.
"Neil aap thik hai? (You OK?) " She asked again. He turned towards her. For a second, she was shocked to see his bloodshot eyes. He was literally shaking in anger.
But she didn't know why.
She didn't know that her loved ones were the reason for his anger or his sufferings!!
"Neil you—" He cut her off in the middle, saying only three words: "leave me alone."
"Neil, you might get hurt. There are broken pieces of glass. Please let's go outside," she said softly.
"Leave me alone, Sharanya," he replied, trying to sound calm.
"Neil aap--" This time her voice was cut by his shout, "Why can't you understand dammit? "Just fucking leave me alone," he shouted, making her flinch, making her tremble like a dry leaf.
"Leave." Turning her heels, she left the room.
He made her scared!!
She was so freaking scared of him.
Neil's POV.
No no no, this couldn't happen, right? My whole plan backfired. Ugh, my entire fucking plan had backfired. I clutched my hair tightly and took deep breaths.
Why is it always me?That Bitch, Anusha I made a huge mistake by including her in my plan.
Anger would only make matters worse.
Shittt I shouted at Sharanya. Damn that look on her face. I freaking scared her.
Ohh no, I ran to our bedroom to find she wasn't there. I heard the shower running voice coming from the washroom. She must be taking a shower.
I found her college bag on the couch.
No no no, I wouldn't let her step out today. It's dangerous for her.
I went to the balcony to make an important call.
When I walked in, she came out of the restroom looking like a fresh flower while wiping her hair with a towel. My gaze was drawn to her from head to toe; she was dressed in a white kurta with black pants and, of course, her duppata hung lazily on her shoulder...
She looked at me, then turned to face her reflection in the mirror as she wiped her hair.I found my marks on her pale white back thanks to her deep cut back, but her hair became curtains hiding it from my hungry eyes.
I strode towards her, wrapping my arms around her from the back I whispered, inhaling her lavender scent from her hair, "I am sorry." I sensed her stiffening under my hold.
"Neil, leave me. I don't want to get late for college," she said softly in a hushed tone.
"You aren't going to college today," I said while my fingers caressed the hickey on her back. She hissed. I stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes were closed.
I smirked and brushed my lips on her neck and whispered the same words against her skin, "You aren't going to college today."
She opened her eyes with a jerk and turned towards me, "Wait, why?" She asked.
"Because I am saying," I said, tucking her hair strands behind her ear.
"Are you trying to control me?" She asked frowningly.
"No, I'm not, but please don't go today," I replied.
"I have to do it today Neil, I need to give notes to Piyush," I said angrily as I heard his name.
"You aren't going and it's final," I said, leaning dangerously close to her.
She moved back a little and said "neil important hai."
"Can't you understand a fucking single thing, huh? "You're not going dammit," I yelled, making her flinch.
"Aaj tum ghar se nahi niklogi!!(you won't step out today) " I said, holding her jaw.
"Understand?" I asked and she stared at me with her eyes full of fear, then nodded.
"Good." I patted her cheeks and went to the restroom.

Sharanya's pov
"I am going to the office but I'll be back in the afternoon. Take care of yourself and if you need anything, then I am just a call away." he said, cupping my cheeks. "And yeah, the maid will come after sometime to clean the house, okay?"
I didn't answer, just looked down.
"Anya I am sorry, Baccha I shouldn't have shouted at you like that, but I was really pissed off that time, "he said softly and kissed my palm."
"Sometimes you indeed behave like a monster. You are scary, Neil," I blurted out.
"I am sorry. I am very sorry. I was actually very disturbed at that time," he said.
"I'll make it up to you when I come back, okay?" I still didn't say anything.
He said this and began tickling me, making me laugh.
"Neil, stop!" I said grumpily.
He stopped and pressed a kiss on my forehead, "take care and I am sorry again." This time I smiled and wrapped my arms around him.

I locked the door from inside as the maid left after cleaning the penthouse. I had nothing to do..so I thought to cook lunch for us.
I washed the vegetables for a mixed vegetable kurma and began cutting them when I heard the doorbell ring.
Is Neil back this soon? I thought
I walked towards the door and saw through the door peep hole..my eyes widened seeing the person. It was Anusha Mam and she was continuously ringing the doorbell..
My palms started to sweat as fear washed over me..now what to do?
Help me, Ayyiappa (God).
Should I call Neil? No, he must be preoccupied with his meeting.
Taking a deep breath, I opened the door and she pushed me in.
"Where is Neil?" She asked, looking here and there.
"He isn't here." I answered. She passed me a murderous glare then went inside our bedroom searching for Neil..
"Anusha mam, he isn't here," I said, walking behind her as she went to another room, which was probably Neil's study.
"Tell me, bitch, where did you hide him?" she asked, turning towards me.
To Hide? Seriously? Is he just a kid?
"Mam, he—" She didn't let me complete my sentence and slapped me hard due to the intensity. I stumbled..ouchh that hurts..
"What is this?" She asked, showing her phone, and my eyes widened. It was a picture of the club that night when Neil kissed me.
"You bloody homewrecker," she said, and reality came like a slap.
Am I really a homewrecker?
"You snatched my husband!" she shouted, and my eyes started to get wet.
I came in between Neil and her.
"You bitch, how dare you? "Were you trying to seduce my husband?" she shouted and slapped me hard.
Tears started rolling down my cheeks.
I thought Neil and I would make a happy family, but I FORGOT; I was the unluckiest girl in the world.
What a cruel fate I have.
"My family gave you shelter and you tried to snatch my husband, you bloody homewrecker!" she shouted again and clutched my hair in a tight grip, making me shout in pain.
I don't know what to do. There was no one to help me, and she was labelling me as a bitch and a home wrecker.
Suddenly, she stood in front of me and strangled my neck. I wasn't able to breathe. Tears blurred my vision as she yelled more profanities at me. I struggled to push her, but it was impossible. Finally, I pushed her with all my might, and she fell down, her head hitting the table.I gasped, placing my hand on my mouth.
