POV: Armaan
The sunlight rays were shining bright on my face which was enough for me to groan and fully wake up. My head was burning so badly that I thought I was going to pass out. I could not remember anything that happened last night.
I got up and looked around to spot Kiara but she wasn't there. I looked at the time, it was 10 am which explains why she wasn't in the room she's probably gone to do house chores and stuff.
I thought of taking a cold shower so I headed towards the bathroom and decided to get ready for work. As I came out of the bathroom I saw a note placed on the dresser with some kind of juice with it, the letter wrote...
"Hopefully you are sober now, I've made you Kiara's special drink for a hangover. Hope this will make you feel better. Also, I have no interest in being your wife, and after last night, definitely NOT! Have a terrible morning!"
-Kiara
I examined the letter for a couple of minutes, what did she mean by last night? I tried to think hard but my mind was blank so I decided to drink the drink thinking it would help. To be honest it smelt very bad but as long as it helps with my hangover. I closed my nose and gulped down the drink. Shit! It was so bad! Raw eggs? And lemon? WTF is this? But after a couple of minutes, my head started calming down. Wow!
But then everything came back to me. Naina! But fuck her, I shouted at Kiara, I hurt her mentally and physically. What is wrong with me? And yet she still made me a drink I thought but I also knew that she also had fun making that drink to torture me with the taste.
I felt pretty guilty about what I had said and done to her, at this point, all I wanted to do was say sorry to her but how?
I was walking back and forth eagerly waiting for her to come into the room so I could apologise but she didn't come and that's when my gaze fell on something. A broken piece of bangle. I examined it quite closely to find blood stains. OMFG! What did I do last night? Why was I like this? I've gone insane! I started cursing at myself when someone barged into the room without looking at who it was I simply said, "Sorry Kiara, I didn't mean to mentally and physically abuse you, I was so drunk last night that I..." I looked behind to find that Ayaan and Kartik were staring at me. Ayaan looked shocked and Kartik looked quite disappointed.
Ayaan glanced at my hand and then the bangle. He walked up to me and took it out of my hand.
"This is Bhabhi's favourite bangle, she was wearing this yesterday. OMFG why is it broken and why does it have blood stains and w-," he stopped talking all of a sudden and then he realised something, "Bhabhi lied, those marks on her hand! Those marks... they weren't from... oh so they were from you! You hurt Bhabhi, didn't you? And Bhabhi kept quiet. She's been suffering all this time and I... I wasn't there for her... I," and he left along with Kartik. Ayaan is known to be dramatic but for the first time, his dramaticness is justifiable.
Although, what did he mean by suffering all this time? And why didn't Kiara snitch on me? I've done bad to her and yet she didn't snitch on me. A rush of guilt slapped my face hard. My heart started pounding very fast. How was I going to face her?
You are an idiot Armaan!
POV: Kiara
Due to my terrible night with that bastard, I had to sleep on the terrace. To be honest, sleeping on the terrace wasn't bad, it was better than sleeping in the same room with that evil monster. Here on the terrace, you could see so many stars shining, each star being unique. Although I had to sleep on the swing with no blanket and it got cold so the place wasn't ideal.
It was 5:00 am when my eyes jolted open. I couldn't sleep so I decided to go get ready and go to work. Today was my first day going to work being married, it feels so unreal.
I got up and decided to get dressed for work but how? In order to do that I had to go back to the room. But Mr Devil will be present, however... he was drunk last night so I doubt he will be awake so I gathered up all my courage and went into the room to get ready as fast as I could.
When I went into the room I saw him sleeping peacefully on his bed shirtless. Why doesn't this guy wear a shirt? I'm not going to lie but he was looking hot af like smoking hot! WTF is wrong with you Kiara? I quickly went into the bathroom and got dressed to still find him sleeping. Judging at his behaviour last night I'm pretty sure he was up high drunk and the aftermath was probably going to be a hangover. Hmm luckily I know how to cure that, I should make the drink I always make when I get a hangover I thought but why should I? He wasn't nice to me so why should I? "Exactly, you're drink ain't that good Ki, I mean come on it had raw eggs in it. If his stomach isn't strong enough I'm pretty sure it'll hurt him on top of that the taste and smell. This is perfect!" my subconscious suggested. It wasn't a bad idea but it sure was cruel af but once again he does deserve it.
I went into the kitchen and made the drink and trust me as much as I was disgusted making the drink I was way more happy dreaming his reaction. I had also decided to write a note making sure he knows that I don't give a shit about this marriage just as much as he does. Then I quickly put the drink in his room heading out to work not before putting a letter on the kitchen counter informing Ma that I had left for work.
...
"Morning ma'am," everyone started greeting me as I walked to my cabin. "Morning everyone," I replied.
I had to do a lot of work as I had missed out on a lot of work and now it was time to catch up, I reached my cabin and as soon as I started working on my Macbook someone barged in. Fuck.
"Wow so someone decided to finally come!" snapped Amisha my best friend.
"She was too busy for us, she didn't even call," Aarav joined it.
"Guys it's nothing like that, I'm married now so-" I was cut off.
"OMG! How big was that mosquito?" Amisha shouted.
"What?" WTF was she on about?
"The mark on your neck! It's massive, I think a big mosquito bit you last night or maybe this morning," she continued while chuckling.
I quickly grabbed my phone and turned the camera on to find a red mark on my neck! Armaan! I am going to kill him.
All I could say was, "I need to call pest control, and it's nothing like you think it is. Keep your dirty mind to yourself."
Amisha kept chuckling and Aarav seemed uncomfortable along sad, but why? Before I could ask Preeti my assistant came in. "Ma'am, the Malhotras have sent a request for a deal!"
I smiled, "Great, when's the meeting?" I asked.
"Tomorrow at 9 pm ma'am."
"Okay, cool get everything set, this deal is essential," I said while smiling, I mean this is huge, first because it involves family and second because it will really boost my company to its reach so of course I was excited.
Preeti nodded and left.
"Wow, this is massive Ki!" Amisha shouted. I nodded to her reaction.
"Yeah Kiara, it's pretty cool," Aarav joined in but he didn't seem too excited and for the first time in forever he called me Kiara, I mean he only does this when he's upset with me. What did I do?
"Hey Aarav, are you okay? You seem a bit off lately," I had to ask.
"Yeah, what's wrong with me? I guess I'm just tired," he shrugged his shoulders. It does make sense but at the same time it doesn't, this guy is always full of energy and never down but today? "He's getting old Ki," my subconscious commented, WTF is wrong with my subconscious?!

POV: Armaan
I got dressed in my office wear, my navy blue suit, my messy hair that attracts all women, wink* and of course my smirk. The only thing I was missing was my tie, as I was tying it I remembered Kiara. Her eyes, her innocence, her feistiness. I wish she were here.
I ran downstairs hoping to find Kiara but she was nowhere, where did she go? I thought of asking my so-called mother but nah and Ayaan had also disappeared. I tried calling him multiple times but manz won't pick his damn phone up. I decided to talk to her at night, after work.
...
As I walked to my cabin, every single servant (employees but Armaan refers to them as servants because he's well... Armaan) wished me "Good Morning," but I'm cold-hearted, I don't do good mornings or any other greetings to useless people, only to people who benefit me to get on their good side.
I reached my cabin and collapsed on my chair. It felt good. I got my Macbook out and continued to work but my mind kept going back to the night. It was awful. Why did I do that? Not only did I mentally abuse her but I physically abused her as well. Her eyes showed nothing but pain and a hint of hatred for me.
I decided to do a background check on her, to find out more about her and to my surprise her family are millionaires! Not billionaires like us but Millionaires are still not bad, right? So why did she marry me? Was it because of fame? I mean her family doesn't have as much fame as my family. Is she one of those obsessed fans of mine? The ones that drool over me? I don't think so, I mean she barely talks to me and always has an attitude towards me. So what's her motive?
I decided to call Greg, one of my personal investigators, to find out more about Kiara. Everything about her family, her job if she has one, hobbies, dislikes... etc.
I was still lost in my thoughts when my assistant came in, "Sir, this news is going to sweep you off your feet!" she exclaimed.
I nodded, gesturing to her to continue. These days she's actually been giving me good news that was worth my time.
"Okay so... you know the company Nixey right? Well, they are coming to sign the deal with us at 9 am!"
I smirked, finally a deal with them!
"And you know what the best part of it all is? The CEO herself will join the meeting!"
What?! Will the CEO be present at the meeting? Finally, this is huge! The smirk I had on my face turned into a big smile.
After giving me the news, my assistant left and I decided to complete all my work as fast as I could so I could go home early to make amends with Kiara. Everything is going right, might as well make right with Kiara.
...
It was 6:00 pm, and I was in my car trying to rush home as soon as possible. While driving I saw a flower shop, maybe I should get some flowers for Kiara. This will make convincing way more easier for me and she might actually like them.
"Hi sir, how may I help you?" the lady at the flower shop desk asked. She looked like she was in her early 60s.
I looked at all the flowers there, all seemed so pretty.
"Umm..." I don't know much about flowers and that's all that came out of my stupid mouth.
"Looks like you don't know much about flowers," the lady commented, mind reader!
I nodded my head in agreement with her statement.
"Hmm... is it for your special someone?"
"Umm... yeah. We kinda got into a fight and..."
She laughed. Why?
"Hmm... I know the perfect flower bouquet."
She started picking random flowers and tied them together into a perfect bouquet.
"Here you go, roses and lavenders. Trust me she will like them," she winked.
I looked at the bouquet, it was beautiful, if anyone gave me that I would melt faster than ice put in the sun.
"How much?" I asked.
"$10."
Only $10 for a beautiful bouquet. I decided to give her $100 for her amazing effort but she refused, she said "I don't work at a flower shop for money sweetheart, I work here to help others please another."
Wow, she was nice. After I gave her her $10, I jumped back in the car when suddenly I got a call from the bank.
"Hi sir, we are calling to let you know that your brother had spent over $5000.00 yesterday, but we managed to block it. Do you want us to take any action?" He asked.
Over $5000.00 in one day? Where was all the money going? I asked them where he spent that much money and they simply replied, "Prada, Dior, Louis Vuitton and Gucci, it also seems like Mrs Mehra has also purchased such items from similarly branded stores."
What? I was damn sure that Mrs Mehra would never wear any clothing items from such stores so who was all this for? I also know that Ayaan does not have a girlfriend so who is he buying all this for? What was going on?
I decided to go home and ask them about it later after I apologise to Kiara and make amends.
...
After I reached home I went straight to my room to see if Kiara was in it but she wasn't. I checked the bathroom and the balcony but she was nowhere to be found.
I went downstairs to check but she wasn't there. No one was home. I took a deep breath and asked Maanvi, one of our servants, "Where is Kiara?"
"Ma'am has gone out but will be back before 7:30," she instantly replied with her eyes planted on the ground. I could sense her fear.
I went back upstairs to change. I went into my walk-in closet and my eyes fell on something. The clothing! Prada, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Gucci. Everything was here! So that's where the money went. I instantly looked at the price tags, $2500 for one dress. You have to be joking. So Kiara was ripping off my brother and Mrs Mehra. Was she trying to embarrass me? What was her problem? My brother is young, and he needs to save up but that selfish prick didn't even think about him let alone even use Mrs Mehra's money. But if she's rich then why... she probably just wants more, and her family probably wants more, yeah there is no other reason, right? I need to teach her a lesson.
