"I can never forget that day. It was the day of our reception. You were with her in the library back home in Hyderabad. She was very upset about us getting married," She replied. Her voice filled with sorrow as if I had announced that her puppy died.

Crazy, I tell you.

I let go of her so that she could sit beside me while I opened a remote application connecting to the Raivardhan private network. Our very own third eye with endless memory.

Entering all the credentials, I clicked on a 'Monitor' button and selected recordings. A huge list of recordings appeared on the screen which I filtered using the search and got all the footage of that day. I selected the library footage and fast-forwarded it till Nishika entered.

"How can you do this to me, Viaan? How could you marry her when I've been waiting for you my entire life? You knew about my feelings for you, then why didn't you consider it?" Nishika shouted as soon as she entered and I got the entire memory replaying in my head.

I in the footage closed the file he was holding and sighed. Nishika had just asked for another argument even after telling her the same thing so many times.

"See Nishika, we are good friends, always have been. Whatever feelings you have had always have been from your side, not mine. And this isn't the first time that I'm telling you this. But here, I'm saying it all over again! It's not like I love you but now I'm married to her, she is my wife now." Yet I had repeated the same words in the footage making Nishika more bitter like how she usually turned out at the end of every argument that we had. On the other hand, Rynah's mouth fell open in shock.

I could even figure out how the information was being processed in her brain. She didn't look at me as guilt flashed in her eyes. She was undeniably reprimanding herself for being so silly. Slowly a tear slipped out of the pool collected on the edge of her wide eyes making them shine brilliantly reminding me of brown jaspers.

And that was all she needed to soften my heart. She was so sensitive and silly.

Silly little troublemaker.

"Hey, hey! Look at me. It's not your fault," I couldn't stop myself from cupping her face and turning it to look at mine, "it was the circumstances that had made us be the way we were. Don't cry now."

She threw her arms around me and cried out louder on my chest. Oh, my fucking goodness! What had she done to me? What had she done to my heart?

Before I knew it, my arms circled her slim body, pressing her closer to myself. Slowly rubbing the smooth jade skin of her back, I whispered sweet nothings.

An involuntary smile curled on my lips. She was full of idiosyncrasy! Stupid girl, why would I marry her if I had been in love with someone else?

I pulled away when she had calmed down and swept the hair away from her face to look at the tear stains and red puffy eyes. Yet she looked so innocent and adorable, "now shall we go down for our breakfast? Everyone must be waiting downstairs."

A pink blush graced her cheeks making that irresistible urge to throw her on the bed and take her again. That steamy desire of mine took over me once again but I snubbed it when she nodded in reply.

Not right now, Viaan. We will continue this later because right now she needed breakfast in her system from all the energy she lost in our copulation.

I smiled and pecked her forehead before getting out of the bed. She was a blushing little mess in my bed giving me another boner. Now, I was in need of a cold shower to cool this down, very badly!

BONUS CHAPTER 2

Iwas confused, well beyond confused after what I had witnessed a little while ago…

Well, chewing gum stuck in the hair might be more reasonable than the cat-ish brother-in-law of mine…

And most of the conversation that I heard between him and his victim of a wife, was more mind boggling than finding out about Vikrant’s marriage! I mean, imagine you are lost in the ecstasy of a honeymoon and your husband suddenly receives a call informing him that his most difficult brother had brought home a wife. As a hostage. And the way they talked, why would you need a blackmailer somewhere outside when you have a husband who does a really good job at it? And the way he carried her away to the awaiting helicopter… I bet we will be in the breaking news by the end of the night again.

I couldn’t help but sigh.

I could see the history repeat itself, kind of like a déjà vu. I could sympathize with the lady. Poor girl was thrown into the shark’s reef. A very fine shark reef. Well, I wasn’t sure about the details yet but I knew one thing, it wasn’t the same as what had happened between me and Viaan.

My sister-in-law seemed to be more practical than me, and craftier. She has more hope of surviving that insufferable man than anyone else that I know of.

I just wished that she had more time to tell me more about what was in the infamous gray file that had got us where we were today.

A mental note to self, make sure to ask her again about the file contents when we are alone. I am so dying to know what caused me to become Mrs. Viaan Raivardhan!

Anyway, I shook all the thoughts away as I entered the world class infrastructure that harbored one of the best medical facilities in the city. And trailing behind me like black teletubbies were four of my guards…

Not one, not two but effing four clones in black and white suits! Out of which, two were supposed to be for my sister-in-law who was snatched like a stray kitten on the roadside by her sadistic husband!

I wonder what will be written in the newspapers the next day. And here I go again, worrying about something else right after shaking it off my head.
