The CEO's Secret Wife

CHAPTER 3: CONDITIONS

Walking towards the car, that was just parked outside the Office at some meters distance looked like a walk of miles. It was equally awakard for both of them as well as for Ranvijay's assistant. There were several thoughts in both of their minds but none of them spoke. None of them knew how to initiate a conversation Ranvijay to the outer world was know as a man of few words and same goes for Tina she was also known for her reserved nature.

While they were walking towards the car Ranvijay's assistant thought that till now no one knew that the king of this entertainment industry is married and to their suprise not to any rich heiress but to a small model in their eyes.

It was just his assistant that knew about their marriage and he dare not spill it out till his boss wants to announce this wedding as it would not be good for him and his job. Ranvijay was known to the world for his anger and his unique ways of making the people suffer who do not do things accordingly to him or try to harm him, the people he loves or his company.

When they settled in the car there was a awkward silence that surrounded the place, the aura they both were emitting was way beyond describable. They both were commanding in their own ways. Ranvijay thought that the silence was way too long and there were many things he needed to clarify and talk about with Tina so he initiated the conversation.

- As you have already heard my conversation I would like to tell you something about this marriage. I don't want you to think that I married you just because I was being pressurized by my family, yeah I won't lie that it is true but I also promised them that I would give my 100% to this marriage. So it is not just a contract marriage for me.

- Thanks, and yes I understand what you want to say and trust me I also would like to make this marriage a success, but before that I would like to tell you all about my past.

- Yeah, ofcourse I am ready to hear about it. But I don't know why I can feel like you want to say something else too but are not comfortable saying it here. If there is something like that please let me know.

Ranvijay always had that ability to recognise people from there looks he could read very well what they were thinking and when he saw Tina he isntantly knew that there is something that was bothering her but didn't knew what it was. So he thought of asking her directly instead of guessing himself. When Tina heard him she was nothing but just amazed, that how a man she met just now can guess what she was feeling. There was no one who could read her expressions, she was capable to hide her emotions from everyone but Ranvijay was the first who was able to just see through her eyes. And there was also no lying that she was feeling uncomfortable talking about their relationship in front of his assistant, there were a lot of things she wanted to tell him but not un front of anyone even if that one is Ranvijay's most trusted. It was their personal talk as husband and wife and Tina wanted that to be personal. So she asked

- Can we talk somewhere else I need to talk to you about this marriage and also about a lot of other things as well. I know that you are the king of this industry and you would know everything that you want to about anyone, but I would like to tell you about my story on my own and I don't want that you would listen something about me from anyone else that you already don't know from me.

- Ofcourse, you guessed right I could know everything I want to know about a person but about you as now you are my legal wire I would like to know you with time and listen to your story by yourself not from someone else. So.... for now do you fancy a lunch with me as I'm starving and guess you too didn't have eaten since the morning?

- Yeah, I would love to have lunch with you, as I am also very hungry and you again guessed it right I hadn't had anything since the morning. Tina laughed while saying this. She hadn't eaten anything since the morning because of the emotional turmoil she was facing till an hour ago, but the turmoil she was facing has now seemed to calm down a lot in her, and now she was determined to tell Ranvijay everything about her story.

Ranvijay ordered his assistant to take them to a high-end restaurant so that he can have lunch with his wife in privacy. While they were on there way to the restaurant Tina was just thinking what if someone would spot them together? There would be news of them being together in no time as it involves Ranvijay in it. While she was in her thoughts Ranvijay intrupted her thoughts and said that - Don't worry no one is going to spot us.The news of our marriage won't break out till I don't want it to.

When they reached the restaurant they head out of the car and walked straight inside the restaurant, Ranvijay walked besides Tina holding her hand making sure she doesn't feel uncomfortable walking with him. They went straight to the private dining area of the restaurant and upon reaching Ranvijay being the perfect gentelmen he is pulled out a chair for Tina to be seated and after making sure that she is comfortable he walked to her opposite side and sat in front of her. After ordering their food Ranvijay asked for privacy from the staff so that he could talk to his wife comfortably and without any hesitation. After the staff left again there was a comfortable silence in that room unlike the car, but after a long silence Tina decided to break it and talk to Ranvijay about everything that happened to her till now and how life turned in a way that today they are having lunch as husband and wife.

- Ranvijay I don't want you to feel like I married to you just because of your money or power. I can have money of my own and trust me my reason to marry you is non of that.

- I know that already, you have signed a prenup with me, so I can already guess thay unlike other women if you were behind my money you would not have done that.

- Yes so thanks for understanding that, Ranvijay before telling you what happened I would like to request you something if you don't have a problem.

- Ofcourse, but your request would be accepted or not depends upon what you ask for. Ranvijay said smiling, Tina never imagined that Ranvijay ever smiled so seeing him do so even made her smile.

- I don't want you to announce our wedding just now, not because I am not sure of it or something, but because the world will question you and our marriage. I don't want anyone to think it's a contract marriage even if it is one, I want to give this wedding a chance and my full efforts and also I want to come on your level the position you are standing on today. But Ofcourse, not from your source or anything I don't want you to help me in any form in my work, please understand this also that I don't want you to intervene in my work, I want to achieve whatever I lost 3 years ago and become the top model again on my own like I did incthe past not with someone's help even if it's the king of the industry.

Tina said everything and her terms for this marriage in one go and after that just hoped that Ranvijay would understand her and would agree to her.

- I understand and if that is the thing than I promise I won't announce our wedding yet, or till the point you are ready for that.

- I just want 6 months from you for that please, if you can give me that.

- Ok, I promise till 6 months no one would knew about our marriage, and don't worry about my assistant he won't spill it out. But there are also some conditions of the marriage from my end also. Basically not conditions, request for just what a proper marriage should be like.

- I would be glad to know that but before that I would like you to know my story. As I already said I want to give this marriage a chance so I don't want you to hear my story before from someone else other than me.

- Don't bother yourself about that, but if you want to tell me that, please I would like to know what happened with you before you met me.

- Ok, so I met Pranay 6 years back and we fell for each other, everything was nice then but with time Pranay changed, he made promises but never kept them I used to wait for him entire night but he used to be busy in parties and never came. And yesterday I came to knew that he was cheating on me with one of the models of his company. Bitter tears welled up around the corners of her eyes but didn't come out of her eye.

- Pardon, to tell me the name of the model?

- Why you also want to cheat on me with her ? Tina asked sarcastically while smiling but then said - You might not even know her, she is just a B-grade model, speaking to you truthfully I don't expect you to even recognise who I was an hour ago.

- Haha.. someone is jealous I guess, but regarding the name of that model isn't she Yousufa? Don't you think you just said that I can know anything I want to about a person. And I am glad you told me everything about your past and I completely understand that everyone has something in there past but the thing is that, it should not effect their future. Tina I promised my family and myself that I would give this marriage a chance and my complete efforts. I won't close the doors of my heart for love but something that I expect from you is just loyalty and trust nothing more than that. And I would like should live like husband and wife. That's it from my side I promise to be loyal to you and to protect you from any danger and do everything that is in my power for you.

Tina was shocked by what she heard, Ranvijay didn't asked for anything from her than loyalty and trust on himself, she was really overwhelmed and tears started flowing from her eyes. She promised him that she would be loyal to her and they would give their relationship a chance and all efforts possible from their side.

They were having their meal talking about random things enjoying the new beginning when Tina's phone rang.
