"I am coming." Akshay said and cut the call.

Its Monday the day decided by him to pickup them. Smita doesn't want to go with him so does Akshita . The family court gave them a chance to reconcile but both of them knew there is no chance for reconciliation . Things are beyond repaired between them and weightage of sour memories is more than the sweet one.

Last few years she tried her level best to mend things. She wanted to secure atleast one relationship. If things doesn't work with her. She wanted to mend relationship between father daughter duo. She promised her daughter for the same but he gave no attention. His ways in court and outside court is demonic .His open threats to harm her, abduction of Akshita left bitter memory in her mind. Thoughts of living with him under one roof gave shivers to her . Her heart shudders. She wants to cry but didn't. Its no use,living with him for six months is inevitable.

She put last few things in bag and jip lock it.

"I don't want to go." Akshita said in frightened voice. She looked towards her, there is confusion, misery, and fear of unknown is present on her face. She is afraid of him after the courtroom incident. 'She is unwanted for her father' mesaage engraved in her conscious after courtroom fiasco. This sight of her break Smita's heart again and again.Sometimes she regrets for even filing divorce.

She hugs her daughter tightly "we'll be alright there. I am with you Shona. Don't be afraid." she said, caressing her back. The holded tears falls from her eyes. The continues horn from outside bring them back to hard hitting reality.

She looked her house one last time before leaving. Seven years ago she left this house with him and get nothing but heartbreak in return. She was so happy to start a new life with him. She had thousands of dreams for upcoming future. She dreamt to age with him. Her bubble of happily ever after burst one day and she left with nothing but broken pieces of her shattered dreams.

"I won't fall for you this time." she resolved internally. She locked the house and turns around. His car is parked in front of her house. He is leaning on his car, posing perfectly for a magazine. His one feet is on ground and other is slightly bend on door of car. . He wore sky blue v neck shirt which is perfectly fit to his chiseled body. His biceps are clearly visible in half sleeves of t shirt. His hairs were gelled and combed to a side. Freshly grown and trimmed beard gave a fine dimension to his sharp jawline . His hypnotic eyes were hided behind black shades. He felt her gaze and looked towards her. She wore loosely fit cream coloured cotton kurta paired with white salwar and multie coloured dupatta.

"Fashion disaster" immediately came out from his mouth.

His brown eyes met with her blue one. There is a winning smirk on his face which disgusted her. She averted her gaze .

"You are checking out him, Smita . What's wrong with you." she moves her head in disappointment.

His eyes stuck on the small figure clinging to Smita. His daughter dressed in white frill frock with matching socks and pink shoes. She is so beautiful like an angel. His lips automatically twitched in a smile. A warm genuine smile which didn't came from pain of others. He moved towards her to take her in his arms. She noticed his movement and hide behind her mother. It break his heart but he can't blame her. Their first meeting was horrible. It didn't happened in best circumstances and his first impression is very bad.

"I'll change it." he resolved.

"Hello, little one" he greets his daughter and get silence in return. She didn't budge from her place.She holds her mother more tightly. Smita shoot daggers from her eyes. There pure hatred in her. Her features were stiffened, clearly indicating she doesn't like his presence a bit.

"She is not comfortable with the idea of meeting new people." She said to ease the situation for her child.

"Okay" he said in acknowledgment.

He sat in the driving seat of his gold porsche. He press on the horn to sign them to hurry up. Smita opened the the door and sat on the passenger seat. Akshita sat in her lap watching the interior of the car in fascination. The golden and black combination is very eye catchy, no doubt his girl is attracted to it. She touched the cool leather of seat then check out the music system. Other things are not much interest to her. Contrast to her Smita was looking outside, completely ignoring him.

"This is for you princess." he forwarded chocolate. Akshita looks it for a moment and than cower away in her mother's lap. Smita engulf her in her arms. There is pin drop silence for rest of the journey.

He drove the car straight to the garage. He opened his gate and so does Smita. He starts taking quick steps ahead signaling them to follow. When there is no movement behind, he turns back and find Akshita's eyes widen and jaw dropped in astonishment. She was looking his collection of cars surprisingly. She is exploring Rolls royce which is parked near his black beauty 'Bentley'. She checked BMW, Audi and stopped near white Ambassador. She tried to open the door of it.

"Shona, no" Smita interrupted her little adventure.

"She can do anything she wants to do." he states firmly.

"So daddy dearest finally get time to advise ." she taunts. Venom dripping from her voice.

His facial muscle tightened and eyes completely focus on her, challenging her to defy him again. He turned towards the house and starts moving ahead. Two pairs of foot steps echoing behind him. He took stairs and after crossing the corridor in left, opened the first door. Akshita is in awe while looking it. The room decorated in white and pink colour. There is white flooring with baby pink coloured walls. One round shaped bed is placed in the middle of the room. White barbie printed curtains hanging from the ceiling around the bed. One side of the room has small study table and glass almirah having lots of books. Other side has wardrobe with adjoining bathroom.

"You can do anything here, princess, the room is all yours." he encouraged.

She took first step ahead and there is a loud bark from the corner of room.

"Its me, Tonga." he said to calm the golden retriever. His voice excited the dog and he came running towards him. It almost jump on him and Akshay hugged him. He looks towards Akshita she was excited and nervous at the same time.

"Come my boy, lets meet someone." he said to the pet and he wagged his tail.They went near Akshita and it starts sniffing her. After few minutes of sniffing, it went outside .

"Is it disliked me?" Akshita asked fidgeting her hands nervously.

"No, princess, you are new that's why Tonga react to that way but very soon friendship will blossom." Akshay assured her.

"Promise" she asked hopefully.

"Promise" he replied cheerfully. "Now go explore your room."

Akshita obliged him immediately.

"Day one and she forget to ask your permission." Akshay said in Smita's ear instilling insecurities in her. She ignored his remark.

"Come, my dear wife, let me show you, your room." he said to her.

"Akshay, this is your room!

" Husband and wife supposed to live in same room. "he said nonchalantly.

"I can't do this.I am going to guest room."

"No, you will not do any such thing." he said towering her. Her grip on suitcase loosened. She looked to his eyes and concluded this not the right to mess with him. She didn't saw his dominating side in her entire stay. He is ready to destroy anything come in his way. This scared her conscious . She didn't felt safe with him and wants to run away from his sight but said "Okay" instead.

"Good for you." he said sitting comfortably on the bed. "so lets set some rules for your stay here."

"Rules? " confusion is written all over her face. "This not some sick game of yours Akshay."

"Exactly" he placed his hand on her arms and let her seat on the couch with a jerk. Her bum hurt really hard and she rubbed it to ease the pain. "This is my life and 'my life, my rules'. " he declared.

"This is my fucking life too, you moron." her patience is running thin.

He marched towards her, hold her jaw in his hands and packed her lips. "This is the last time you cursed." she looked at him dumbfounded. Her mind failed to register what happened. He may not be the great guy back than but this version is devil reincarnated. Suddenly she felt six months is long, very long time to stay with him.

"Change your clothes, I don't like people who dressed ugly "another order came which raise fury in her. She knew that she doesn't have best dresses in her kitty but he can't insult her like that. She didn't know what is more offending to her his order or his comment on her dressing sense.

"That's your problem." she shrugged her shoulders disobeying him.

He picks her suitcase which doesn't has a lock and spin it in his hand. He played catch and throw with it and soon her belongings starts scattering on floor.

"Akshay, what are you doing?" she ran towards him to snatch her luggage.

He moved towards window and throw it outside. Smita almost climbed on the window to save her things but no use. The poor thing landed on the road. She was half climbed, half standing on the floor shocked from his action.

"Do a favour on me and yourself, just jump." his words bring her back to reality and she settled her feet on the floor. She noticed relaxation on his face but shrugged off the feeling immediately. She ran outside to collect her remaining things.

Its raining and backyard is muddy. All her clothes socked in muddy water. Many things are no use of now. Tears start brimming in her eyes. In the hope of removing the stains by washing she collect all her clothes.

She is drenched from the tip to the toe. Her clothes are cling to her body. Water is dripping from her hairs. His eyes stopped at one water droplet moving downwards from her temple. It touched her jaw and than glide on her tall round neck. Another one flowed from the forehead to nose trying to reach her lips but fall down. The lucky one touched her cheeks than pass through corner of her lips, slide to her neck and reach to her cleavage. His bulge pulsate in his pant. He licks his lips hungrily. She felt his burning gaze and ran towards bathroom.

"STOP" his authorative voice stopped her in her tracks.She stayed in the door step of bathroom. She hear the calculative steps moving towards her. The uncertainty strangely excites her.

"bath for me" he said in her ear. She turned around to see sincerity in his words.

"You heard it right now go ahead." he pushed her in shower.

"Akshay, no." she argued but he did not budge from his place.

She went under shower, hurriedly discarded all her clothes on the floor. She didn't care about cold water. All she wants to end this ordeal as soon as possible. She sighed when he left leaving a towel on the hanger.
