Replaced groom

Chapter 24: Anger

Riya's POV~

I woke up when the harsh sun light falling on my face. I opened my eyes to see Vicky's hand is on my waist. I looked at him with smile. I touched his long eyes lashes. He is so handsome.

I slowly tried to get out from his grip. I removed his hand slowly from my waist. When I got out of the bed, I sighed in relief. I closed the curtain as sunlight is falling on his face. I went to my closet to choose a dress and freshen up myself.

I chose a palazzo set and went towards the bathroom.

After entering the bathroom, I slowly brushed my teeth. After that, I opened my bath robe to see so many love marks are on my breast, neck and on my tummy. I gasped seeing that. A shiver went down my spine when I remember yesterday's events.

I immediately went to the shower and showered myself. After freshening up myself. I dressed myself and came out of the bathroom while drying my wet hair.

I saw Vicky is still sleeping. I saw the time and decided to make breakfast and wake him up.

I went in front of my mirror. I sat down in front of it. I have done my makeup. I covered hickeys on my neck with a concealer. I put my bindi. When I was wearing my nupital chain, suddenly I felt some force on my hand. I turned around see Vicky looking at me. He took my nupital chain from my hand and tied it around my neck. I smiled looking at him. Then he saw my vermilion on the dressing table. He took it and applied on my hairline.

"Freshen up..I will make breakfast", I said but he grabbed my hands and pulled me towards his chest.

I looked at him but immediately looked away being shy. He cupped my face and placed a small kiss on my forehead. I smiled feeling his care.

As he is not leaving me and just staring at me, "What?", I asked in a low voice.

"I want my morning kiss", he pouted. I chuckled looking at his cute face. I pecked his lips lightly.

"Now go..Freshen up", I said while getting out of his embrace.

"This is not a kiss", he whined. I just got put of his embrace.

"See you downstairs, Mr.Singh", I said playfully and went outside immediately. Finally after my breathing got stabled, I went downstairs. I bet my face is red.

I went downstairs and looked that the breakfast is already on the table. I gasped and open lid on the dishes. Everything is prepared. I looked around to see any maid is there in the house but I can't see anyone. After wandering, I can't see anyone. I saw Vicky coming downstairs.

"Vicky..", I said and he came towards me.

"Yeah", he said.

"There is already breakfast available on the table", I said.

"Oh..I called D'Souza to make breakfast and leave", he said while going to dining room.

"But why? I wanted to make breakfast", I said.

"But I thought you are tired after last night..So I called her on early morning", he said and I blushed hearing him. I just looked down. I cleared my throat looking away.

"Let's make lunch together", he said changing the topic.

"Okay",I said.

So he sat and I served him and myself. We both started the breakfast.

After eating breakfast, I started washing dishes. He came behind me and back hugged me. I gasped at his sudden move. He breath is fanning my ear. Goosebumps ran over all my body.

"What are you doing?", I asked while continuing my work.

"Hugging my wife", he said while his lips touched my ear lobe. He lightly kissed my ear lobe.

"Ah..Leave me..I have to finish washing dishes", I whined.

"Who's stopping you?", he asked while his fingers caressing my waist. I shivered at his touch. I saw his smile.

While we are in this position, Suddenly the doorbell started ringing. We both wondered who visited us.

"Let me check", he said and went off to living room to open the door. After finishing the dishes, I saw Ricky and his girlfriend standing in front of Vicky. I was shocked.

What is he doing here?

"Don't you dare spout such nonsense..", Vicky yelled.

"Vicky", I called him. He turned around to see me.

"Riya..Go to our room", Vicky said.

"What? Our?", Ricky smirked while looking at me.

"Ricky..You better mind your business", I said.

"I said go, Riya", Vicky yelled. I looked at him. I mean what I did wrong that he is scolding me. That too infront of them.

I immediately started going upstairs.

"What is this Vicky? You didn't tell me that you got a good wife?", Ricky's girlfriend said sarcastically.

I immediately turned around but she winked at me.

"Riya", Vicky yelled and I just looked down not knowing the mistake I did that he is yelling at me. Honestly, he is unpredictable. Sometimes, he will be nice, Sometimes, he will be short tempered..I don't really understand him.

When I went inside the room, I closed the door. I leaned on the door so that I can listen anything they are speaking.

I can't able to hear anything so I just sat on the bed. I sighed that yesterday it felt that everything is perfect and alright between us but not anymore.

But I don't understand one thing..How that girl know Vicky? I mean how can she call him freely that she knows him from a long time? I should ask him.

After few minutes, I saw Vicky came to the room with red face. He is poking his tongue on his inner cheek. I shivered looking at him. He ran his fingers on his hair frustratedly.

He sat on the couch sighing angrily.

"Vicky..", I said in a low voice. He didn't responded anything. I thought I should let his anger down so that I can talk later. I thought to give him space.

When I was going outside, he called me.."Riya..Where are you going?", he asked. His voice sounded so dangerous that I shivered.

"I ...I thought to give you some space", I said.

"Come here", he said. I just stood still. My hands covered with sweat when he is looking at me.

"I don't want to repeat", he said and I nodded. I took small steps and stood infront of him. He pulled me near him and place his head on my stomach clutching my waist in his hands. I caressed his hair gently. He gripped my waist tightly. Later, I placed my hands on his shoulders,"Are you okay?", I asked.

"Earlier No..but I am fine now", he said while pulling away and looking at me.

He made me sit beside him on the couch.

"Ricky and Eva are going to stay here", he said while caressing my cheek.

"What?", I screamed looking at him.

"I mean..Are you serious? How can you accept this? I mean..How? ", I asked looking at him.

"Riya!! Try to understand ", he said while holding my hands.

"No..Leave me alone", I said while getting away from him.

"Riya!!", he said.

"What? You don't even care about my feelings..Leave me alone..", I said while going out of the room. I started going downstairs and I am hearing Vicky calling me from behind.

When I was in the living room, I saw Ricky and his girlfriend cuddling on the sofa. He smirked looking at me. I scoffed looking at them.

"Riya..Stop right now", Vicky yelled.

"Yeah...Whatever", I said while going out of the house.

I went outside and hailed a cab. I said Rasi's address to the driver. I cried thinking about how can he not even consider my feelings? I mean how unfair? Tears are falling from my eyes. After some time, we arrived at Rasi's place. Then I realized that I didn't even bought money to pay him. I don't even have my phone right now. I asked the driver to wait and went inside and called Rasi. After some time, she was shocked to see my state.

"You just go to my room..I will handle this", she said. I just nodded for her understanding.

After some time, I saw Rasi came to her room. I sat on the edge of her bed and thinking how he can allow him to do what he want? I scoffed and Tears are rolling from eyes.

"Riya!! What happened?", she asked while sitting beside me.

I hugged her and cried on her shoulder. She starting saying some soothing words so that I can calm myself.

"What happened, dear?", she asked.

"Rasi..you know..Vicky is heartless..He don't even consider my feelings..", I said while wiping my tears.

"What do you mean?", she asked.

"He is saying that Ricky and his girlfriend will be living with us", I said.

"What?", she screamed.

"Yes..That's such a crazy thing to do..", I said but she didn't speak a thing and thinking something.

"How is Vicky?", she asked after a long time.

"You are asking how is Vicky? What do you mean by that?", I raised my voice.

"Why can't you answer the question? How is Vicky? ", she asked.

"What about him? He is totally fine", I scoffed looking at her who is worrying about him.

"Riya..Actually..There is one thing you should know..", Rasi said.

"What?", I asked.

"That..Ricky...planned..", her words cut off by a loud door opening sound.

"Vicky!", I said.

How did he know where am I?

"Rasi..Could you give us a minute?", Vicky asked.

"No..I will not listen to you..Rasi continue saying what are you talking about? that Ricky plann...", I trailed. She just stood silently. I saw Vicky glaring at Rasi.

"Don't you dare glare at my friend..We are in her house..So mind your manners", I said sarcastically.

"Rasi..Sorry for disturbing", he said while coming towards me. He picked me up and throw me on his shoulders. I screamed.

"Ah!! Leave me..You jerk..I don't want to come with you", I yelled. I got a hard slap on my butt. I yelped in pain.

"Just shut up", he said.

He took me to his car and made me sit. I glared at him but it doesn't seem to have any affect on him.

Rasi is standing at the door with a apologetic look. I just reassured with my eyes that it's okay.

I saw Vicky coming in driver seat. He started the car. He is red with anger. I glared at him. I scoffed looking at him.

I saw him going to a hotel. He just stop the car and the key to valet. He got out of the car.

Does he think I will get out? I will just stay in car.

"Get out", he said while opening the door.

"I don't want to", I said with a attitude.

"Don't give me that attitude, Riya..", he said. I gave him my sarcastic smile not bothering by his threats.

"You will not listen nicely", he said. He again about to lift me up.

"No..No please..I will get up", I said while getting out of the car.

"Don't act up if you don't dare to", he smirked while looking at me.

"I have shame..but you don't, you jerk", I mumbled to myself.

"Did you say something?", he asked. I gulped looking at him.

"Follow me", he said while grabbing my hand.

I looked at the hotel name..It's our hotel. I mean it's Malhotra hotel chain.

"Hello sir", a guy said coming towards us.

"Keys", Vicky asked arrogantly.

He just handed the key being flustered by his rude response.

"Sorry!! He has some issues here", I said while pointing towards his head. That guy remained calm but Vicky glared at me.

"Let's go", he dragged me to the lift.

"How do you know him? This is not Singh's hotel chain..", I asked.

"It's your hotel chain..That's why I know", he said. I rolled my eyes in front of him.

"Where are you taking me?", I asked.

"I don't want to come with you", I screamed.

He held my wrist tightly.

"I will scream if you don't leave my hand", I said.

"Scream..as much as you want..I don't mind", he said. I looked at him with disbelief.

"What is it that you want from me?", I asked while trying to loosen his grip.

Soon elevator reached the top floor. He dragged me towards the room. He pushed me inside and entered after me. He closed the door with his leg. I sighed angrily that he controls me.

I went near the couch and sat on it not caring what he want to say. I laid my head on the couch and closed my eyes.

"Riya..Enough of your childhishness", he said.

"Get up", he said.

"I am listening..My ears work even when my eyes are closed, Mr.Singh", I said.

"Don't push my limits", he warned.

"Whatever..Why did you bring me here?", I asked.

"Riya..For once..Listen to me..", he said.

"No...You don't care about me..You don't even consider my feelings", I said while getting up and standing infront of him. He sighed looking at me.

He took one cloth and tied my hands.

"Hey..What are you doing?..Leave me", I said while trying to move hands but he gripped me tighter.

"Ah..Leave me", I yelled and he just placed his lips on mine. I stopped moving processing everything what is he doing to me.

He pulled away when I am calmed myself.

"Riya..Listen to me once before acting like this", he said while pulling me closer to him. I just looked away.

He made me sat on the bed. He kneeled in front of me.

"You can't sit like this", I said while making him sit beside me. He smiled looking at me. I cursed myself for doing this. He just taking advantage of it.

"Riya..Look at me", he said.

"What do you want to say?", I asked while rolling my eyes at him.

He grabbed my jaw tightly and pulled me closer to him.

"Roll your eyes at me again..You will not gonna like the punishment ", he said. I gulped seeing his eyes which are ready to eat me alive. I just looked down not daring to look at him again.

"Riya..I know you are angry at me. Even your anger is reasonable..I know baby", he said caressing my face.

If he start talking to me like this..I will just forgive him.

"Riya..Yesterday we promised that we will talk and clear our problems..", he said and I instantly looked at him.

"Then how can you leave without even listening to me?", he asked looking at me. I am ashamed that I didn't even try to listen to him. I looked down in shame.

He made me look at him while slowly turning me towards him.

"Not only you left..You didn't take your phone with you..What if something happens to you?", he asked. I just don't know what to say.

"I am sorry", I said in a low voice while looking at him.

"I don't need your sorry. I want a promise that you will not leave the house recklessly. You will listen to me. We both will talk and solve the problem..", he said while stretching out his pinky finger. I looked at him blankly.

"What? Don't want to promise me?", he asked. I raised my two hands which are tied by him.

"Oh?! Sorry", he said while freeing my hands. I immediately stretched my finger out and made a promise to him.

"I will always talk and listen to you..I will never the leave the home recklessly..I promise ", I said truly. He smiled and hugged me.

After that, we both pulled away from the hug.

"Riya", he said while holding my hands.

"Ricky and Eva are going to stay in Singh mansion. I know it's unfair to you but you need to remember that Ricky has nothing to do with you now. Moreover, Ricky is my brother..the son of Singh's..We can't just ask him to move away from our mansion", he said and I sighed that he is right but I just can't stand him. I am really uncomfortable seeing him.

"But if you are uncomfortable then we can move to my apartment. I don't want you to trouble you with this..", he said. I looked at him.

He is ready to move out from his own home for me.. I mean how can he? He is really attached to that home. Moreover, Mom and Dad will be said if I move out without telling them. There are in the vacation I don't want to disturb them. Even Vicky has right on that mansion..Why we have to move put? Ricky is shameless he will never move out.

"Riya..What are you thinking?", he shaked me lightly.

"Vicky..We don't need to move out..We will just stay in our home", I said.

"Really? Are you really okay with that?", he asked.

"Yes..Ricky means nothing to me. You are the one who matters to me. We will just ignore them and do our work", I said.

"Thank you baby..Thank you so much..I know you will come around", he said while hugging me tightly. I hugged him with smile.

He slowly pulled away and placed his kiss on mine. We both kissed passionately. After few minutes, we both pulled away panting. His lips slowly trailed from my lips to my jaw and then to my neck. He slightly bite my neck and I clenched his shirt tightly on my hand. He started sucking the same spot while soothing it with his tongue. I am breathing heavily. He slowly left my neck, after some time.

We both pulled away. He made me lie down on the bed freely and came beside me. I placed my head on his chest. He wrapped his hands around me pulling me closer. He slowly caressed my hair. I smiled seeing his care.

"Vicky...I have a question?", I said.

"Go ahead", he said.

"Do you know Ricky's girlfriend before?", I asked. His hand stopped caressing hair. He stiffened when he heard my question. I get up from his embrace and looked at him. He slowly get up from the bed.

"Tell me...Do you know her before? How can she talk to you so freely that she knew you for a long time..?", I asked searching for the answers for my questions.
