His Detested Wife

Time seemed to pass really fast as I stood motionless beside my father. Soon glasses rose as the clock ticked to twelve. It was Christmas! If this was any other day I would have been jumping around in joy (because I love Christmas) but today I didn't do anything except sipping my wine nervously as my father walked up to the centre of the hall with a cordless mic." Merry Christmas Ladies and Gentlemen!", he began. " Thank you for accompanying me and my family tonight. It is time that I finally announce the real reason behind this large party, except Christmas of course. I announce the marriage of my beloved son, Neil Parker with Akansha Goenka! ", he said smiling the widest possible smile as the spotlight turned towards me. Just then I realized that Akansha was already standing right beside me! I wonder what she is, human being or some ninja. I gave a forced smile as she entwined her fingers with mine careful to not offend me. There was a round of applause as people looked at us

I wouldn't really talk about my marriage reception because it was boring! All I did was walk hand in hand with her the whole evening and tell people thank you for their wishes. Maybe I would have enjoyed my reception if I had any other girl with me, but with her, life is extremely irritating! She'd glance up at me every once in a while, holding my hand slightly tighter. It felt like a punishment, but I was helpless.Soon I was back in the so called our room with her. " The evening was great, isn't it? ", she said enthusiastically. "Oh really? I don't think so because I had to walk around with the person I hate.", I replied straight on her face.She made a disgusted face as she got up from the bed. I wonder at times if getting up from the bed with a disgusted face is all she can do. Nevermind, I laid down on 'my' bed because it wasn't ours, definitely not. Sharing my bed with her was clearly not on my bucket list.I had just started to doze off when she said abruptly, "Where am

Thanks to the three bedroom apartment I and Akansha could sleep in different rooms. Next morning I woke to the smell of delicious food. I immediately freshened up and walked straight into the kitchen. Akanksha was busy settling the dishes when I tip toed.As I was about to remove the plate which hid the delicious food below it I heard Akansha, " Do not. Do not Neil. You will not eat that now. ", she stated, without even turning back." Hey, that's not fair! What do you think I'll eat for breakfast?!.", I said in annoyance.She turned towards me with an amused look."Aww, look at someone behaving like a kindergarten kid.", She just smiling.I narrowed my eyes.She removed her apron and walked down to me."Bread with peanut butter, bacon and sausages. ", she said removing the cover from the plate. " Great! ", I said as I lunged forward towards my food. Come on, when I'm hungry.. I'm hungry!I immediately sat at the dining table, only ten steps from the kitchen and started gulping do

It was ten in the morning when we set out.I wore a casual white t shirt with a red jacket over it and denims, Akanksha had picked a satin off white shirt with black denims.We sat in the car.The plan was made.First we were visiting the Victoria Memorial to remember how awesome the British are (It's sarcastic by the way). Then for lunch we were visiting a mall and after that we would go for a boat ride, and then back home..! A perfect day!It wasn't long before we stood in front of the magnificent monument made of white marble. Ah! I love British architecture so much! At the entry gates there were two lions sculpered on both sides, the ticket booking counter on one corner.Akanksha asked me to stand as she went to get the entry tickets. I watched her go.There was something distinct about her.People weren't wrong when they spoke of Miss Goenka having an undeniable charm. She, the owner of a billion dollars company, stood in the line for tickets. I drew in a deep breath. It was a

I regret doing several things in my life.. One if them being waking her up because mosquitoes were biting me."Neil Jason Parker, gimme a break, okay?! I am tired and I don't care if mosquitoes bite you. Anyways you think you are as hot as a vampire, so maybe strike a friendship with them!", She shouted irritably and then went back to sleep.I looked at her awkwardly before I left.The Hundred and Fifty Shades of Akanksha Goenka. Nevertheless, next morning she was back to normal (if she wouldn't have been back to normal, it wouldn't matter to me, anyway haha). After bolting down my breakfast and watching Game Of Thrones, I realized how bored I was with my life. I was in this huge apartment, alone, with an Oxford degree doing nothing significant.I immediately sat up on the sofa and decided to go to the head office of Goenka Industries, Calcutta.I wore my clothes, a leather jacket on my white t - shirt and jeans. I knew it was warm outside and I'll look like an idiot, but that was t
