ANAYA

"Ouch, my head." I groaned.

Don't tell me that I was wasted last night. I swear I'll kill Lia, she always forces me to drink till I wake up with this shitty headache. I need to find some aspirin.

Pushing the comforter aside, I was about to wake up when I realized- holy fuck! Why I'm naked? Don't tell me that I had a drunk one-night stand with some stranger?

My mouth fell open in shock and first instinct told me to call either Lia or Manik to tell- wait a second. Why this room seems familiar? I looked around and just like that reality came rushing down to me.

I'm married.

I'm married to the country's richest billionaire.

He's trying to make my life living hell.

He fucking pushed me off the cliff.

And- what the fuck? Don't tell me that I slept with him?

No, this can't be true. I mean I know he's hot like Greek god hot but there's no way that I'd sleep with a monster, right?

My pulse started hammering in my chest. No, I can't be that dumb.

What if he forced himself on me?

A sudden anger passed through me and without thinking twice, I rushed to the living room.

"How dare you to touch me without my consent? You-" I stopped mid-sentence when he turned to me and his eyes fell on my body. I raised my eyebrows and looked at myself only to realize that I came out of room without wearing any piece of clothing. My head bend low in embarrassment and tears clouded in my eyes.

This person in front of me is a complete stranger even though I married him yet I slept with him? or did he force me?

People may find me outgoing, frank and for some I'm nothing but a spoilt daughter of a politician but that doesn't mean I've no feelings. I know I'm cursed; I can't love anyone but still I always hoped that I'd have sex with the person with whom my heart wants it or if not, I was always okay with being alone. I was always sure that I can live without sex. But here I'm standing naked in front of the man who's officially my husband and he wishes to make my life more painful than death.

He took steps near me and before I could react in any way, he unbuttoned his shirt and in swift moment, made me wear his shirt. "Don't worry, I assure you nothing happened between us and no, I didn't force myself on you." He said, trying to smile but failed miserably.

I knitted my eyebrows in confusion. What happened to him? why he's trying to smile and most of all why he's acting so decently?

I walked to the dinning table and gulped a whole glass of water down my throat and sighed in relief. Thank God, nothing happened between us last night.

"Why don't you take a seat on the couch, I'll serve you breakfast." He added.

I blinked not believing my ears. Am I dreaming or what? Or is he planning to push me from another cliff?

My throat ran dry and I shook my head. "Please, don't." With shivering hands, I folded my palm and pleaded. I won't be able to survive this time. He has no idea that how scared I'm of deep water.

"Relax, I'm not going to hurt you." He said, gesturing towards the couch.

I nodded and sat on the couch not because I believed what he said but because I was scared that if I don't obey him then he will do worse to me. I'm very sure of this psychopath's capability to destroy me.

He turned on the TV and passed me the remote which I took from him unsurely.

I switched to some random music channel and silently put the remote back on the table. After few minutes, he came back with a tray in his hands. He placed it on the table and when I caught a glimpse of what he made, my jaw dropped. A bowl full of Ramen with cheese ang egg and a glass full of cranberry juice.

My stomach growled in hunger at the sight of my favorite food. I looked back at him and found him grabbing a seat next to me. Wait a second- how did he know that this is the combination of instant food that I like the most.

"How do you know that? I mean..." I trailed off not getting the exact words to use.

He chuckled, resting his head on the couch. "Remember the first time we met? You were enjoying your Ramen and cranberry juice."

I raised my eyebrows in surprise. Ah, now I remember. I smashed the glass in my fist and threw the bowl full of hot Ramen over him.

"Don't tell me that you're planning to throw Ramen on me too?" I laughed uncomfortably.

God, please don't let him do this to me.

"Eat, I'm not going to hurt you." He spoke with a poker face.

Okay then.

I dig in and damn my taste buds burst in joy. I really missed this. I missed my comfort food.

"I never knew that you have this deep observation. I mean you knew exactly what I've added in my Ramen and which juice I was drinking." I mumbled with food stuffed in my mouth as I sipped onto cranberry juice.

For a moment I wanted to forget whatever happening to me. I just wanted to enjoy my comfort food.

"Anaya."

"Huh?" I snapped my eyes towards him.

"You can go now."

I looked at him in confusion. "What?"

"You are free from me. You can go, anywhere you want." He spoke.

"You're kidding, right?" I laughed, humorlessly.

But the expression of his face told me a different story. He was serious.

I put the chopsticks back and all of sudden held his hands. "Really? Can I go?" I asked, not bothering to hide the excitement in my voice.

He nodded and pulled out something from his pocket and handed me. It was my phone and a paper card which has some sort of address written on it.

"Your friends are not far away from here. They're at the same place where they used to be. And so do your parents. I lied to you. You can go back to your old life and continue to live a happy life. Also, I've written down the address of your mother in Japan. You can fly there and meet her." He added.

I stilled. Fuck man! Don't let this be any dream. I can meet my mother? Oh my!

A huge smile crossed my lips and I couldn't help but hug him in excitement. Off course, he didn't hug me back but as if I care.

I pulled myself away from him and stood, suppressing the urge to do a happy dance.

"I bought you some clothes, you can check them. You're not going out in my shirt, are you?" He whispered, gesturing me towards the heap of shopping bags.

I looked at all the bags in disbelief. Woah! These luxurious brands for me? And he brought hundreds of bags just for me choose one?

"Seriously, how much money do you have?" I asked in surprise and without waiting to look for his reaction, I randomly picked one bag and rushed to the nearby room to change my clothes.

Ah. What a waste of all those shopping bags, wish I could take them all but man, I'm finally going to see my mother after all these years. There's nothing more important than her in this world for me.

I quickly changed my clothes and literally ran outside. Looking at Arnav, now I felt nothing. All the bad memories with him faded away in a second. For sure I hate him but who cares? I don't want to think about him from now on.

"Goodbye." I whispered, looking at him to which he just nodded.

As I was about to step outside, I turned back. "Thankyou. Though we had a bitter relationship but it was only because of you that I got to know about my mother. So, thank you for that. Bye." And with that I left his mansion.
