"Why in the hell did you not tell me this before, Rynah?" His voice boomed through the air like a tiger's roar resulting in me flinching. I looked up to find him covering the distance between us with quick long strides before I could get over my panic, he was already in front of me.
I was so dead.
"I'm sorry, but trust me there wasn't much cash in there nor was the phone very expensive. Just get the number blocked—" Viaan cut my blabbering off by grabbing hold of my shoulder and gave me a rough shake.
"Are you crazy? No matter how much cash was in there it doesn't matter more than your life! You stupid woman! You had your life at stake and you don't tell me because you are worried about some measly dirt on your hand?" he straight away yelled at my face leaving me more shocked as every minute passed by.
"I... I... I..." I was a stuttering mess perhaps I could even try my luck at rapping after this.
"I, what? How are you going to explain this?" Oh boy, he sure was angry...
"You... You are angry," I pointed out.
"No geez, Sherlock. I ain't angry," he deadpanned as he pulled me closer, scaring me more just to continue, "I am furious."
"I... I was scared," I swear I didn't want to cry but seeing him this angry waterworks started on their own. As if I had flipped a switch in Viaan, his expression softened a bit, so did his tight grip over my upper arms.
"I was scared that you would be angry," on hearing me confess my reason to hide it, he let go of me as he turned and ran his hand through his hair in frustration.
I could hear him exhale loudly before he closed his eyes and pressed the bridge of his nose before opening them again.
"From tomorrow onwards, two bodyguards shall always be with you whenever you go out, with whichever family member you go out with. And the third guard will be your driver who shall make sure that you will always and only get down at the destination and nowhere in between, whenever you travel alone. You will not travel in any other vehicle, not leave the house without informing me, not go out without your bodyguards. Don't even try to sneak out because the watchmen will be informed about it," he turned around to leave the room again leaving me gaping wide.
"But that's not fair!" I protested quickly, recovering after he took a step towards the door.
He halted to turn his head to a side as he added, "And no more arguments. My decision isn't going to change. No matter how much you try." And then he resumed his walking again.
I didn't know what to feel. Whether I should be saddened by the fact that my freedom had borders or be happy to witness how much Viaan cared about me to go to this extent or be mad at him for overreacting. It wasn't like they had caught me, I could take care of myself and I had. Though I had some outside help. Nevertheless, I was alright, standing right here!
He paused at the door before looking over his shoulder, "And yes, you can call me when you practice dancing." With that, he was already out. Letting a whole damn zoo free in my stomach...

"How's he doing?" Asha asked as soon as Daksh walked into the dining room. There wasn't any need to ask about whom she was talking about. It was the waiter who had been fatally injured. It had just been me and Asha who were having our lunch when Daksh decided to join us.
"Still in a coma," he slumped on the chair and started to gulp a glass of water that was placed before him.
"And that Rathore guy who is responsible for his condition?" I asked out of curiosity.
"He lost his job, now he is indebted and losing the case really badly," he answered as he placed the glass down and lifted the nearest bowl of salad as he started filling his plate before he added, "It won't be long till he will be rotting in the prison for what he had done. Neel will make sure that he does."
For the first time, I got a chill by hearing what Neel was capable of. He was one of the sweetest guys I had ever met. And never seen any other side of him that had given me a hard time believing that he was the one who was calling shots this time.
"And yeah," Daksh looked up as he lifted a chicken popcorn dipped in ketchup and continued, "Viaan wants you to be ready by six in the evening. Another one of those inevitable events has popped up."
I groaned loudly. I hated these events, they troubled more than their worth.

I climbed into the passenger seat when Viaan stopped his black Mercedes Benz in the basement. The slit of my shimmering black gown opened to reveal the contrastingly white skin of my leg from the thigh to all the way down. I didn't even care to cover it up, feeling very tired already.
"Isn't that slit a little too up?" Viaan scowled at the windshield.
"Well, hello to you too my dear husband," I smiled sarcastically. I was pissed enough that it appeared on my features.
"I don't like that dress at all," he gritted out as he started to drive out of the house.
I looked down to see what was wrong with the dress. It was a V-neck full-sleeved dress with a side-slit. Nothing very revealing except for the slit and he had a problem with this.Amazing...
