Author's POV:
The semester exams took the start and Vihaan was busy analysing the papers. He felt the students could answer them with ease and rested in his cabin scrolling through his mobile.
" Good morning Professor Aurora," Greeted Mr. Nolan, the peon.
" Good morning Mr. Nolan. How are you?" Vihaan asked smiling and offered him a seat to sit. Mr. Noaln politely declined and handed him an invitation.
" Who is this from?" He asked looking at the back and then turning it to the front.
" There was this person in a black suit, most probably your bodyguard. He requested me to give this to you." Said Mr. Nolan and Vihaan got a call. It's Noah, his personal guard.
" Mr. Aurora, I hope you found the invitation." Noah continued while Vihaan carefully inspected the invitation. The top of the invitation is printed with the text The Browns. In the centre of the invitation cover was Vihaan's name boldly written in calligraphy.
"You are cordially invited to attendThe Browns' Annual BallJoin us for an evening of elegance and merriment as we dance the night away!Date: 29th JulyTime: 7 PM onwardsLocation: Kensington PalaceEnjoy live music, fine dining, and delightful company as we celebrate the magic of the night.Please RSVP by tonight to let us know if you can join us for this enchanting evening.Sincerely,The Browns"
Vihaan smiled at the invitation and his smile slowly turned into a malicious one. He felt that this was the perfect time to strike his last move. And she will be doomed.
He'd take back the revenge from everyone who pointed their fingers at him labelling him a rapist, a liar and a casanova.
He thanked Mr Nolan and took his mobile. He opened his mobile and his fingers pressed the letters on the keypad.
My Sinner.
That's how he saved her contact. So that he doesn't forget what he had married her for.
" Vihaan," She groaned and he understood that she was still asleep.
" Get up now and do the chores. Get your hair, makeup everything done. We have a ball tomorrow. Just got an invitation. I'll send the dress." Vihaan said in a husky tone and a soft smile bloomed on her lips, her eyes still closed.
" You are the best. " Kanvi smiled and rolled over the bed pulling the pillow to herself. Vihaan's soft perfume filled her lungs racing her mind and putting her heart at peace.
" I feel that someone is smiling," Vihaan said, his voice so soft but his facial expressions said something else. He was burning and feeling irritated every second he was acting sweetly to her.
" Hmmm... Vihaan I need to confess something." She said in a small voice, her eyes wide open and her lower lip tortured between her teeth. Vihaan's heart raced and his eyes darkened. He was expecting her to confess the crime she committed but looks like she wants to play twisted games.
" Go on, Ma Cherie," Vihaan breathed and there was a small pain in Kanvi's heart. It's hurting her to see Vihaan treating her so nicely in recent times and the weight of her lie is crushing her heart.
" I'm sorry Vihaan." She whispered making Vihaan's heart turn a rock. He wishes to throttle her neck drag her to their house and make her spill the truth. But a part of his heart knows that she prefers death over telling the truth.
" Why is it?" He asked, his fist clenched and his breaths rugged. His eyes are like blazing volcanoes and he wishes to drown her in them and hear her scream when she dies of pain.
" I don't know. Just felt like saying it." She mumbled and he hummed. He exactly knew why she was saying it and Kanvi ended the call closing her eyes. The black ceiling with the int of golden lights is looking at her like Vihaan's hazel eyes are glaring into hers for concealing her lies.
She brushed her teeth and sat on the dining table. She opened the hot pack and there were a few onion paranthas. Ever since she ate Vihaan's food, she had become his fan and requested him to make different ones.
She relished the taste of them and drank a whole glass of juice. While unknown to her the whole family boarded their flights, some sacred while some were excited and some confused. Only if Kanvi knows, she is going to get the biggest surprise of her life.
Anvi made her way home after her long night shift and slumped on the sofa.
" Anvi Di," Kanvi squealed and hugged Anvi and she immediately pushed her.
" Kanvi, I just came from the hospital. There are chances of you getting the infections. Stay away and let me bathe first." She said like a taunting mother and went to her room to bathe. She came back after half an hour and Kanvi looked pretty in a white dress.
Anvi felt her dress was a bit short but let it slide.
" Let's go," Kanvi said picking up Vihaan's card and her sipper.
" Where?" Anvi frowned and looked at her outfit which is just in a pyjama set.
" To the saloon. Gotta get my hair and nails done. Vihaan said he'll send me a dress later." Kanvi said and pleaded with her.
Anvi changed her dress into a simple one and walked out, her heart whirled in a whirlpool of concerns.
They were picked up by Nathan and Anvi closed the barrier between Nathan and them turning to Kanvi.
" Kanvi, I'll tell you something. Will you listen to me love?" Anvi asked gently caressing Kanvi's cheek. Kanvi put her hand over Anvi's and nodded with a grin.
" Don't trust anyone around you. They love seeing you in pain. And if anything happens, be strong baby, don't crumble and lose your essence. My bachcha is so strong." Anvi said in a hurry as if her heart was paining knowing the consequences she was going to face.
Kanvi's smile faltered and her face turned grim. Her hand slid from Anvi's and she opened her mouth.
" Anvi Di, please, don't do this. I know you're hinting towards Vihaan. He is a gentleman and he wouldn't do such things. And even if he ever did that, I wouldn't stop loving him but as you asked, I won't crumble down and I promise you that I'll be strong. " Kanvi uttered with a hint of frustration but at the same time, she understands Anvi's concern towards her.
" Remember that, I'd always be there for you. "Anvi smiled sadly not able to fathom how this lady is trusting Vihaan blindly.
Nathan stopped the car at the saloon and the girls got down. The manager welcomed them politely as Kanvi is a regular customer there.
" Good afternoon Ms. Mittal. How may I help you today?" The manager asked and Anvi still didn't understand why she loved coming here when she could call them to her home in the snap of her fingers. She asked the same and her reply made her smile. "I get to be out of those CCTV eyes at home and I love roaming around the city and watching the buildings."
" My nails. Paint them black and gold. My hai, umm... please set it into the soft curls." She said and the stylists were on their work. Meanwhile, Anvi was having a head massage.
" You know? There was this boy Jai in Vihaan's school. He allegedly reported Vihaan saying that he saw Vihaan photographing girls when they were in the washroom. Vihaan was revelry punished by both his parents and the school too." Anvi said and Kanvi gasped. She quickly took the sipper and gulped half the bottle of water.
"That's insane. Who would do that? And why the heck did his parents do that? They were supposed to know their kid at least." Kanvi was disappointed.
" Vihaan stayed low for a few days but then, he decided that he needed vengeance from Jai. They were all in the biology lab and they got into a huge fight when Vihaan asked for the truth. The teacher hit Vihaan in anger as she went beyond mad in the quench of making him tell the truth." Anvi said occasionally looking at Kanvi. She saw Kanvi's face changing colours and her face turning scared when she mentioned Vengence.
" And?" Kanvi whispered.
" Vihaan hit the boy's head against the table and put the scalpel against his neck," Anvi spoke and Kanvi gasped.
" That's so cruel," Kanvi said scared of Vihaan's behaviour.
" I know. And it was not until Vihaan drew Jai's blood that he spoke the truth. The teachers gasped at the truth when Jai revealed that he was jealous of Vihaan and wanted to push him into some scandal. Vihaan looked at the dean and his parents maliciously and he isolated himself for a few days. And ever since then, his friend circle decreased or some befriended him because he might do the same with them too as he did with Jai." Anvi completed and Kavi's fingers shook.
" Ma'am, keep your fingers straight." The nail artist asked and Anvi saw how they were trembling.
Kanvi was just imagining her situation in the place of Jai. And how brutal can Vihaan go to make her tell the truth? And Anvi's words started sinking in as she started thinking deeper.
Don't trust Vihaan blindly!
Be strong and don't crumble.
She looked at Anvi's eyes and she saw the concern for her in her eyes. She knows something is up from Vihaan's end.
" I hope he doesn't plot anything against me Anvi Di." Kanvi smiled sadly and the hairstylist turned Kanvi's head straight.
" I can't tell the same Kanu," Anvi whispered to herself.
Once they were done, Kanvi took out Vihaan's black card and suddenly she felt that she shouldn't use his card for her needs. She pulled out another one that Vidarth gave her.
Kanvi smiled at them but there was this nervousness lingering over her mind nagging her about the consequences. She entered the pin and paid for both of them even after Anvi asked her not to.
" Next bill is on me." She said and Kanvi smiled. Her smile held no truth like it was almost a forced one.
They stopped by a seafood restaurant and they had their lunch lately. Then they headed to their apartment and Anvi got a call saying that she could move in with Keevah.
Anvi slept as soon as she came home as she needed to be ready for her other shift. And Kanvi sat in the TV room with her iPad open with notes and her mind drifted towards the incident that Anvi revealed about Vihaan.
" My Vihaan can't be that cruel." She murmured leaning on the couch. Her eyes were forcefully shut and she slipped into the much-necessary sleep.
While on the other hand, the students flooded around Vihaan discussing the paper and telling him how easy it was. Vihaan smiled genuinely and nodded. He felt like he needed to stand on his promise.
" Looks like, you all would be done with your exams by the end of this week. How about I take you to see that rare astronomy event I'm looking forward to? I promise it will be a feast. Interested students can come to the Hampstead Heath. Saturday night, 9 pm sharp." He said and they all cheered.
If there is something that makes Vihaan happier and merrier, that's his students and hours and hours of looking at the space. So far, this is the best batch he has ever taught.
As soon as the clock struck 4, he bid everyone goodbye and took his car to the office. The company is doing well. And somewhere in his heart, he knew that if his company was out of being bankrupt, it was because of his wife.
" Bea, are there any meetings scheduled tomorrow?" Vihaan asked pulling out the laptop from his bag.
" Yes, there are two Mr. Aurora. One in the morning with our team and another one with Mr. Hall. Is there a problem Mr. Aurora?" Bea asked.
" Umm... Please take a seat, Bea." Vihaan said shaking with delight. Bea had never seen him this happy but at the same time she was feeling like running from him. His face is calm and smiley but his aura is dark that's sending shivers down her spine. It's making her uncomfortable.
" Yes, Mr. Aurora?" She said taking a seat in front of him. She is feeling this weird sickness in her stomach sitting in front of him.
" Bea, er... umm.. I'll be attending the meeting tomorrow morning with the team but cancel the meeting with Mr Hall and reschedule it privately if possible. Saturday or Sunday might work if it goes well with him. And clear my schedule for the day after tomorrow. I'll be on a day off. I need to celebrate." He smiled at the last sentence and suddenly Bea felt like her stomach was churning.
" Sure sir." She said and noted on her tablet.
" Umm... Bea," Vihaan called her again when she was about to leave.
" Please send someone to collect the dress from the Mitchel Windsor Corture and send it to my home by tomorrow at 5 pm," Vihaan said going through the mail he received. Bea responded in positive and Vihaan dismissed her and went through the papers that the Tech Gen had sent after the purchase.
The dusk approached the sky so fast painting the sky with the hues of beautiful lilacs and roses. Vihaan packed his bag and approached the private lift and he realised that he was very late. It's 8 o'clock.
He zoomed the car to his apartment and parked it at the -2 level. He pressed the level 33 and the hyper lift took him there in 10 seconds. He tried opening the door but it was locked the door from inside. He pressed the bell and there came no one to open the door.
He used the spare key and opened it. The whole house was silent as if no one was ever present there.
" Kanvi?" He called and there was no response. He called Anvi too but there was no response from her too.
He opens Anvi's room to see her sleeping peacefully and he knows from her schedule that her shift starts at 10 PM. He patted her cheeks and she sat on the bed with wide eyes looking around.
" Aadh," She mumbled and Vihaan's eyes softened at his mention.
" It's me, Anvi." He spoke softly caressign her hair.
" I rang the bell and no one opened the door. I used the spare key to get in. The house was silent, so I just barged into your room." Vihaan said siting on the bed.
" Kanvi must be up." Anvi frowned and got down the bed. Vihaan followed her and they searched the whole house and finally found her in the TV room sleeping on the couch with the iPad hugged to her chest.
He looked away as her dress inched up showing her underwear and her plump breasts showing.
" Kanvi, " Anvi called softly pulling her frock down. She woke up after a little pattign and her eyes fell on Vihaan. She looked at him like she was searching for something in him. His eyes are hollow and concealed and it's like she is trying to read the empty book again and again.
" Get freshened up both of you. I'll cook." He said but Kanvi's eyes held something which he was not able to avert from. Anvi left form there and Kanvi stopped him holding his wrist. She stood on the couch and hugged him placing her chin on his shoulder.
" Vihaan, if you still feel like hurting me, do it on my face. I'll endure it but please don't backstab me. I'd be too broken." She mumbled and her hands tightened around him trying to keep him just to her, assuring him that he'll never leave her.
And that is what I want. Vihaan's heart smiled darkly as he tightened his hands around her.
" Why did you ask this Kanvi?" He asked and she didn't know, she had this gut feeling that her life was not going to be the same in a few days.
" I don't know Vihaan. But please know this I'd never blame you even if you break me to the core." She whispered and moved away. She got down the couch and went to their room without even looking at his eyes.
She blinked back her tears and locked the washroom door taking deep breaths. Her senses are too in chaos to react properly. Kanvi washed her face and brushed her teeth putting all the laundry together and cleaning the rooms.
" Kanvi, food is ready," Vihaan screamed from the kitchen and she came and sat on the dining table. It's chapati and green pea masala. She had the food silently and soon Anvi left for the hospital.
" Where are you going?" Vihaan asked.
" To sleep." She said absentmindedly.
" Don't your exams start from this Thursday?" He asked and she opened and closed her mouth.
" Get your iPad and sit in the study room along with me." He said sternly and she nodded.
She came back with her iPad and he was on the couch already ready with his laptop. She turned it on and randomly opened the notes.
" No, revise from the start." He said harshly and Kanvi looked at him shocked at his sudden behaviour change.
" I want you to get above 90% this time." He said and her face was white in astonishment.
" That's impossible." Kanvi chuckled nervously.
" I don't care. Either the 90% or you are out of this house." Vihaan said working on his laptop.
" Vihaan, you are being crazy now. It's beyond my capability. " She chidded and Vihaan glared at her tone.
" I'm sorry Vihaan but I really can't," Se mumbled softly her eyes crinkling at the corners.
" You can if you read. Come on now. Hurry." He ushered and she smiled. She made a face and he too made a face. But inside he is gagging at himself for doing everything he despised.
She opened Chapter 1 revised it thoroughly and followed the next as well asking the doubts to Vihaan in the middle and clarifying by giving examples from the practical world. She laughed sometimes at his silly examples and they played rock paper scissors when she was supposed to go to the next chapter.
And she lost. As per the rules Vihaan made, she was supposed to cover the additional 3 chapters which Vihaan patiently explained despite the face he put on in front of her.
" Come on Vihaan, I need to revise it again. Looks like I didn't get it." Kanvi chided and Vihaan gave her a mocking smile igniting her spirit to take the iPad from him. She has been telling him the wrong answer and wasted the time he gave her to remember.
" Vihaan please." She begged and fell on him and he closed his eyes in dismay. A soft gasp escaped her lips as her body stuck between his legs.
" I'll read it again, I promise." She pleaded and he raised his eyebrow.
" I want a firm promise then, which you can't take back," Vihaan whispered in her ear. A small blush crept on her cheeks and he moved back. He smirked internally at her for being such a cheap bitch, or that it was what he interpreted her love as.
Kanvi looked at him with her soft brown eyes and felt his gaze on her lips, his eyes occasionally eying her breasts. She wanted to shield her breasts from him but it would make the situation more awkward.
He cleared his throat and looked the her eyes asking, " Come on, Ma Cherie, what firm promise will you make with me?" He asked and she groaned.
He was all smiles outside but the internal rage he was feeling inside was known only to him. The urge to crush her body as if she is nothing or push her figure roughly against the wall is growing intensely in him.
She moved up on him and her dress material went down showing a bit more of her assets. He sighed and smirked goofily at her.
Before he could ask her again, she pressed her soft lips against his and tugged his lower lip between her teeth. She gently nibbled it and Vihaan closed his eyes. Her left hand softly held his nape caressing the length of his neck.
Vihaan strangely started enjoying her soft kiss and she pulled back. " I promise Vihaan, I'll tell back the answer."
She took her iPad from him and concentrated on the answer while Vihaan closed his eyes in frustration as the taste of coconut got onto his lips. Her scent rubbed onto his shirt and emitted a soft fragrance that distracted him for a second.
He sat straight and read the mail from his India branch where his presence was necessary. He pointed out the laundering last week and that's when their CEO noticed it. He curated a mail saying that he'd be there the next week and pressed the send button.
As promised, Kanvi learnt the answer quickly and explained it to him. She closed the iPad and Vihaan made her write the notes. She sulked at his demands and she chose to run but Vihaan's 6th sense acted quick and he pulled her by her elbow. He made sure that she fell in his lap and his heart whispered at him to give her an indirect hint.
" Looks like someone likes running. I'll make sure you'll be running into every door and none will open." He said darkly in her ear and she flinched. She looked at him in shock and he chuckled.
"What do you mean by that?" She asked, her voice so stoic.
" What I mean Ma Cherie is, I'll be chasing you in this home and you'd keep running. When you try to hide yourself in any of the rooms, I'll make sure they are locked because when you are tired of running, I'll find you and corner you at a corner." He whispered and turned her around pulling her right on his crotch.
Kanvi's hands rested on his chest and cleavage raising and falling with every single breath she took. Vihaan pushed his hands under her frock and Kanvi gasped, her eyes closed and her mouth parted, her back slightly arched at his cold touch around her waist.
" You'll be begging me to leave you and I'd smile in a sinister manner. I'll carry you into the darkness and lay you there." He gently gave her a kickstart and pushed her to ride him. A vulnerable moan left her mouth as he was telling her revert intention.
Or that is what she thought. She thought he was talking sensually reveling his desires but only if she could read the lines between those pleasurable words. She could unlock the plots he was planning for her.
Kanvi's breaths turned short as the pleasure started kicking in. Vihaan smirked at her pleasurable face and helped her ride him faster as if he didn't even have an ounce of pleasure.
" I'd undress my every thought and show you the real me. After all, I'm your husband, we are supposed to get naked with our thoughts. And with every thrust I'd make into you, you'll beg me for my mercy. And I'd be so delighted to hear your moans and cries. And I'd leave you with all my marks and let you sleep once I'm satisfied." He said and his breaths turned short as well.
Kanvi's nails dug into his shoulder while her mouth was pressed against his neck to not scream in pleasure.
" Vihaan, oh my God, this is so.... in...tense." She panted and bit his neck. Vihaan clenched his teeth in pain and he knew that's the final straw of pleasure. He pushed her bums and she came undone in her panties wetting his shorts.
She moved back and Vihaan wiped her sweat with his hand. A slow smirk formed on his lips while she hugged him so tired. He scooped her in his arms and put her feet in their room. Kanvi rushed into the bathroom and Vihaan handed her another underwear. She cleaned herself and put on another pair of underwear and removed the bra. She knows he'll check it before she sleeps.
Vihaan took his turn and changed his shorts as if he never felt the sexual pleasure.
Kanvi got under the covers and so did Vihaan.
" And this is how tired you will be when I leave you, Ma Cherie," He whispered in her ear and Kanvi blushed closing her eyes and turning to the other side falling into the abyss of darkness. While Vihaan smirked at her sleeping form.
Fall for me so deep Ma Cherie, so that I can break you deeper and harder.
With Love
