Christian's POV-
" Just come here Ms Sharma and then I'll see what stops me from making you mine." I thought, smirkingly.
" Aunty, Smriti will talk to you." That bastard addressed Mrs Sharma.
She nodded.
" How are you? Tell me that you did not get hurt." Mrs Sharma said.
" What! Where?" She asked.
" Smriti please, your defination of little scratch is much more worse than the general medical terms. Tell me what happened?" She questioned Smriti.
" You are going to the doctor right now. I am talking to Mr Tyagi. He will treat you. Go to the hospital now." Mrs Sharma said after a long pause.
" Smriti, do not argue with me and take Sunaina along with you. She is hurt too." She replied.
" Yeah. Better." Mrs Sharma said.
" Bye." She said and hung up.
" What happened Mrs Sharma, is she hurt?" Mia asked.
" This girl is really very careless Mia. She did not get hurt at her mission but tripped on the stairs. Must be running." Mrs Sharma said.
" She was on a mission?" Mia asked.
" Yes, from the past 2 months she was in Baghdad, doing god knows what." Mrs Sharma said.
" Past 2 months! My god." Mother exclaimed.
" Aunty, she is asking to switch on some Indian NEWS Channel. She just messaged." That bastard spoke up.
" But we don't have Indian NEWS channels here." Mia said.
" There is always Hotstar." Mrs Sharma said and took out her cell.
She put on some hindi NEWS, far from my understanding.
" This girl....." Grandma started.
" Is something else." That bastard continued.
" What is it grandma?" Mia asked.
" Smriti was in Baghdad from the past 2 months where she was living as a hostage along with her friend. They have rescued more than 200 Asian girls and saved them from being Trafficked. This was a mission they conducted along with the Russian Intelligence." Grandma said.
" Wow man." Mia said.
This explains why she did not receive my calls.
" So when is she flying here?" Dad asked.
" The day after." Mr Sharma said.
" Now Ms Sharma, how will you run away from me once we are married?" I questioned myself.
The next 2 days passed in a hurry. I was busy with my fucking conferences.
I reached Grey Mansion only to bump into mother.
" Son, go and pick Smriti up from the airport." Mother said.
" No aunty, why bother Christian, I will go and pick her up." The bloody bastard offered.
" Are you sure Sanskaar?" Mom asked.
" Yes Mrs Grey." He said.
" Christian, I want you to cooperate with Mia." Mother said.
" For what mother?" I asked.
" For this." Mia said, dragging me by my arm to the closet.
I groaned.
" Shut up and try the suit. I need to see if it requires any alterations or something." She said.
I had to do what she asked me to.
" Fine." I said and changed.
While Mia was playing her fucking dress up games with me, I saw Smriti enter the mansion along with that bastard.
Smriti's Attire-
" Mummaaaaa....." She shouted.
" Smriti, how are you my doll?" Mrs Sharma asked.
" I'm fine. How are you all?" She asked.
" We all are great man." Mia said, hugging her.
And then I noticed that bastard's hand around Smriti's waist.
What the bloody fuck?
" Now go and meet your to be husband." Mia said and pushed her towards me.
Before Smriti could loose her balance, I held her.
" Careful." I whispered in her ears.
A deep blush crept down on her face.
Smriti's POV-
Mia pushed me towards Christian.
He saved me from falling. Our proximity made me blush.
" Smriti, you go and sleep for sometime. I can literally see dark bags under your eyes. How long have you been awake?" Mrs Grey said.
" Will it be too much if I say that I have not had a proper sleep since two months?" I questioned.
" I can see that in your eyes Princess. Now is the opportunity to sleep, because from tomorrow, all of us are going to be busy in the wedding preparations." Papa said.
I nodded.
Mia took me to the guest room.
" You sleep Smriti, I will call you for dinner." Mia said.
I nodded and thanked her.
Then, I took bath and took refuge on the bed and slept within 5 minutes.
I swear, not even an hour had passed before Mia was waking me.
" Smiti, wake up. The dinner is served." She shouted.
" 10 minutes Mia." I whined.
" You can sleep all you want after the dinner." She said.
" I am not hungry." I shot back.
" See girl, no one will allow you to sleep bare stomach, so better come down now." She said, trying to act stern.
" You are miserably failing in acting stern Ms Grey." I said.
" Now will you wake up or shall I call my brother dearest to do the honours?" She questioned.
" I am up." I said, sitting.
" Great. Now come." She said and dragged me out of the room.
" Come Smriti, sit down." Grandma said.
I sat next to her.
I was looking for Mr Grey when I heard Mia whispering in my ear.
" Looking for someone? Or rather Christian?" She asked teasingly.
I nodded my head negatively but my damn blush must have given it all.
" Don't lie. He is not here. Went back to his penthouse." She whispered again.
I then started concentrating on my dinner.
" Where is Sanskaar, mumma?" I asked.
" His friend invited him to live with him for somedays. He said that he will meet you tomorrow." Mumma said.
I nodded.
Finally, the dinner was done and in the next 2 hours, everyone retired to their respective rooms.
I was not at all sleepy now. Jet lag is a bitch!
I decided to pay a visit to Mansi, Lakshya and the others to enquire about the mission, so I decided to walk to their apartment.
I got out of the mansion and started heading towards their apartment when I noticed a car following me.
" Can't people leave me alone for sometime?" I thought to myself.
The car came parallel to me and started honking.
I avoided it and continued to walk.
The black tinted glass of the car rolled down, revealing the handsome face of Mr Grey.
" Mr Grey, what are you doing here?" I questioned, confusion evident on my face.
I saw his eyes darkened as he got down of the car.
As soon as he stepped down, he pinned me to his car and captured my lips with his.
This kiss was like a punishment to me. He was pouring all his frustration into it.
Finally he stopped after what it seemed like hours to catch his breathe.
" So Smriti, do you know the reason for what happened just now?" He questioned.
I nodded my head negatively, blushing.
" Sir in the car." He said.
" Christian, I am walking to my friend's house. I can manage." I said.
" Do not agitate me further Ms Sharma and do as I say." He said.
" Christian, I am not your employee. You cannot talk to me like that." I said with a hint of irritation in my voice.
" Do not take that tone with me." He warned.
I just kept standing there and folded my hands.
He ran his hand in his hair out of frustration.
" So you will not sit in the car?" He asked.
" No." I said, sternly.
" Then you leave me with no option." He said and picked me up in bridal style.
" You put me down this instant." I shouted.
" Ms Sharma, I did gave you an option." He said.
I rolled my eyes.
" Never do that in front of me again." He warned.
" Or else?" I spat back.
" Do you really want to know Ms Sharma?" He asked.
I flushed.
He made me sat and went to the driver's seat.
" Put your seat belt on." He said.
I just kept sitting.
I heard him chuckle.
" You are acting like a kid who was denied his toy." He remarked and started coming towards me.
I immediately looked outside the window of the car.
He made me wear the seat belt and started driving.
I was continuously glaring at him.
" Stop staring." He said.
I quickly averted my eyes.
" Why the fuck did you call back that bastard first and not your mom or me?" He questioned.
" What bastard?" I asked with confusion.
Then realization hit me. He was talking about Sanskaar.
" Don't call him that!" I exclaimed.
" Answer my question." He said.
" I am not obliged to." I said, with equal fury in my voice.
" Smriti." He said with a voice full of authority.
I don't know what came over me and I answered.
" Because it is sort of a ritual that we follow. As soon as I successfully accomplish a mission, he is the first one whom I talk to." I told him honestly.
" This is one thing that I am planning to change Ms Sharma after we get married." He said.
Then I realized that I did answer his question.
" You cannot be doing this. You get to know everything that I don't wish to share with you." I complained.
He laughed. A genuine one. This is only the 2nd time I have seen him laugh so freely.
" I can do this because I am your husband." He said.
" No, you are not." I said, looking down.
" Soon baby." He said.
His choice of words always make me red.
" Where are we?" I asked as he stopped the car.
" My penthouse." He answered.
My eyes widened.
" Christian, I need to return back." I said, panicking.
" Calm down. You can take the guest room." He said.
" This is not right." I whispered to myself.
" There is nothing wrong in this." He assured.
He then showed me the guest room. I was already in my night suit, so had no need to change.
Before leaving the room, he pinned me to the wall again.
" I don't want any unwanted males touching you." He warned as I saw his eyes darkened.
" I.....I." I tried forming sentences but failed to do so.
" Shhh." He said, placing his finger on my lips.
" I will sue anyone who tries to take or harm what is mine." He said and distanced himself from me and went out of the room.
Suddenly, I started missing his warmth near me.
" Get a grip on yourself Smriti." I scolded myself.
I don't understand what this man is trying to do with me. Why does his closeness affect me so much? This cannot be normal.
" For god's sake Smriti, get a hold on yourself." I scolded myself.
" Dude, it is normal for you to feel something for your fiancé." My innervoice said.
" Shut up." I shouted on myself.
God Smriti, you are going mad. Sleep before you do something stupid.
And I let sleep embrace me, still in denial about my feelings from Christian.
