Anika’s PoVThe whole car ride was bouncy and happy with me and Tarun playing and Priya joining in on us. Arjun was driving and he adjusted the rear view mirror in a way that he could see me. Once in a while he would look at me through it, making me squirm in my place. His eyes are so talky, that it literally yanks me to bed. He is a naughty man.  We were playing ‘I spy with my little eye’ and even Rajesh joined in the game. Tarun got so excited and uncle turned to look at me appreciatively. “I see Priya and Tarun are on your side. Good, Anika. I tell you, those are the tough ones.” He laughed. “Dad, you are so mean.” Priya whined to her dad. This just reminded me of my dad. It’s been two days since

Anika’s PoVI couldn't even blink my eyes, is this all a dream or is that really her? They were both standing in front of the shopping area inside that stupendous hotel. Arjun takes her face in his palms and talks to her in a very consoling way. She composed herself after Arjun’s little talk and he brought her in his embrace and started walking towards me. What should I do now? Confront them or run and hide? I am not yet ready to confront them. I don't know the backstory and I cannot jump to conclusions. This is my life. I cannot let my shrewd talks get in the way. I must handle this in a  more mature way. I walked into the restaurant and watched them go towards the elevator. He is taking her to our room? If so, he is not doing anything wrong. Or what if he takes her to a different room? There is no way I could go in the same elevator. Luckily that ele

Anika’s PoVHe’s decided to punish me without even letting me explain my side. So I have decided to shower my love on him to make him understand what we really have between us. He took me back to our room after my late lunch. Since ours was a suite, we had a sitting area with a trundle sofa and a small partition with a microwave, coffee maker, and fridge and a separate room with a huge bed and attached bathroom.  When we went in, she was sleeping on the sofa. He went to her and gently shuffled her from her sleep. “Anu, refresh and come. Let's go have some coffee and an evening snack.” He told her. I just had my lunch and I cannot eat anything until tomorrow, that is how full I am.  “Sure!” She went into th

Anika’s PoVWith the force the door opened, I shrieked in horror and threw the phone away. I looked up to see him with a terrifying face. He didn't speak a word to me but went into the room where I think we are going to stay. I started to follow him to the room just when our driver came in with a load of baggage. I ran to help him. “Oh, here, give it to me, bro.” “No issues, madam. Where do I place them?” “Just leave it here, I will take them inside.” He went back for more luggage, I am confused. What is all this? Looks like he had packed up all the stuff from that home to here. Is he going to keep me here forever? What does he think it will do to me?

Anika’s PoVHis cold behavior towards me is killing me. He ordered me to do chores all day and also expects me to finish the jewelry in my free time. Free time? Like if there is any. He woke me up with a harsh comment which I don't even want to think about. I could still remember those lust filled eyes when he saw me, yet he called me a low word. Above all, he thrusted the tray full of earrings on the floor and with the force he pushed, some of them broke into pieces. All my work went in vain. I am getting tired of his behavior in just two days. How can I manage his insults and arrogance for the rest of my life? Do I still love him after all this? My stupid heart says YES. But I am not here enduring all this shit just because I love him. I am here because I am indebted to him. He has helped my family with a huge amount of money though I didn't ask for it. He want
