"I am ready whenever you are ready," he said coming close to me. I glared at him. He licked his lips and then an idea came up on my mind. I giggled inside. I got on my toes and acted like I was about to kiss his lips but instead kissed his cheeks.

His eyes widened at what I did.

"Now delete it," I demanded.

He was about to speak but I cut him off by saying, "You didn't say where,"

"Give me the phone," I said but he shook his head taking back his hand.

"You," I tried to get the phone but he walked towards the door.

"Give me the damn phone, you devil," I said running towards him. He ran circling the bed and laughing. I ran after him but he was too fast for me. After some time I got tired and sat on the bed glaring at him.

"Got tired?" He asked and I turned my head to the other side.

"Hmm, someone is angry," he said in a teasing tone.

He came and fell on the bed beside me. He lay there looking at me and then he closed his eyes. Taking this chance, I tried to get the phone but he caught my hand and pulled me down to his chest. He then kept his hand on my waist. I tried to get out of his hold but "Don't fight please, I am tired," he said tightening his grip on my waist. I looked at his face and he really seemed tired.

"Please," he said opening his one eye and pleading with me.

He must have come in the middle of the night or early morning. Whenever he came I was glad he did. I slowly rested my head on his chest and closed my eyes.

"Thanks," I heard him whisper.

After some sleep, I went to make food for us. He got up and went to freshen up. My hangover was gone. I brought food and we ate in silence. I would look at him thinking about the recording he had. He caught me staring at him and he smiled.

"You are making me uncomfortable," he said in a teasing tone and I scoffed.

"I am warning you. Delete that recording or..."

"Or what?" He asked in his sexy tone.

I glared at him and got up. "You know what, I hate you. I just hate you. That's it," and walked out. I heard him call my name but I ignored it.

The whole day the thought of him not deleting that recording made me tense. What if he shows it to someone? Rima? Or shit, my sister? She will tease me for life. This devil is so devil.

"I hate him," I told myself.

I wanted to scream. I got up and slowly went to his office thinking I am gonna take that phone and delete it myself. When I reached half the way to his office I heard voices coming out of his office. I slowly went near to find Ratna was there. What was she doing here?

"How could you leave without even telling me? At least you could have texted me. I am your best friend. I have the right to know," I heard her almost scream.

I didn't hear him say anything.

"Don't tell me you left because of that call. Who the hell was that or she? Are you dating someone, Amol?" She seemed quite angry.

He said something but I couldn't catch it. I heard Ratna cause she was loud. They must be on the other side of the room.

"What are you saying, Amol? It's nothing? Did you forget to tell me? The whole day I was with you, even at night. I had just gone out to bring coffee when I came to find you were gone. At that time, That late? Why are you behaving like this? Is this because of that girl? She called you didn't she?"

He again said something. I went near the door so I could hear it properly but I didn't.

"What?" she almost shouted. "I never thought you...." she stopped. I heard the sound of the foot coming towards the door so I hurriedly ran to the room.

The whole week he was with her? wow. Did they spend the night together? He told me she was just his friend but seems like she is more than a friend to him. If not, why would he take her with him? If they were together, why did he marry me and why hasn't he told her about me? Why is he playing games with me? Tears welled up in my eyes and my heart dropped a little at the thought of them spending nights together.

When he came into the room I was watching a movie, trying to distract my mind. I ignored him as much as I could. While eating dinner, time and again he would look at me but my eyes were fixed on the food. I didn't want to eat with him but I didn't want to show him that he had any effect on me or the things that Ratna said.

The thought of him with her made me wanna throw up. I wanted to lock myself in the room and cry. My heart was heavy and I lost my appetite. Tears welled up in my eyes but I controlled myself from crying. His voice brought me back.

"You haven't eaten a bite," he said. I sat there silently not bothering to look at him.

"Hey," he said in a soft voice.

"I am not hungry," I said getting up, still not looking at him.

"But," he started to speak but I left the room ignoring him. I got changed and sat watching the series.

"What's wrong?" He asked "Why...."

"Will you shut your mouth?" I said giving him an annoyed look. "I am watching. Don't disturb me,"

He stared at me and then he sat beside me. I kept a distance and pushed a bit far from him.

"Are you angry? Because I recorded our call? If that is so then I will..."

I scoffed not letting him finish.

He then pulled me towards him and made me look at him.

"What's going on with you? Earlier I think we were all good,"

I rolled my eyes "We were never good and will never ever be good," I told trying my best not to scream.

"Why are you acting like this?"

"Why am I acting like this?" I got up abruptly. "Why did you come back leaving your... " I stopped. I didn't want to think about them. It brought pain to my chest, why? Why do I care? It's just a deal and I am not his wife.

"Leaving what?" He asked but I stayed silent.

He got up and I took a step back looking anywhere but him. He came close and made me look at him "What?" He demanded, his jaw clenched but I looked at his chest. I was so angry. I swat his hand away and took a step back "You know what? Not a married guy goes out with another woman leaving his wife alone at home. It may be a deal but you can't treat me like your mistress. I know this marriage means nothing to you but at least you could have had a little bit of respect. You shouldn't have come back," I said looking at the other side.

"Means nothing to me?" He said and I stood there refusing to look at him.

"You never think anything good about me whatever I do. Do you?"

I stood silent and was about to go towards the door to leave when,"You were right," he said and I looked at him.

"I shouldn't have come back. I should have stayed there. If you haven't called me, I wouldn't have left everything and come back running to you," He was looking down.

"I know, I told you I would be back in a week but something came up and I had to stay there but as soon as you called me.......I left everything and came back, just to be with you, and for your kind information, Ratna is one of my business partners. Yes, we were.... together at night too but while doing meetings not to spend........I was out there for a business purpose not for holiday. But whatever I say you won't believe me," He said and without looking at me he left.
