The Unfair Agreement

Chapter 3

Indrayanis POV

I am sitting in the hot water bath...….. Aanandi and Nandini my two personal maids are at my service, trying their level best to cheer me up.

They are twin sisters. Aanandi is dumb and cannot speak but has the brightest smile, where as Nandini cannot stop her babbling. It's as if she was born with her sisters words.

Aanandi is organizing my ornaments, jewelry and my dress on the teak wood dressing table , I am supposed to wear those today to look pleasing for certain someone as He is going to visit me today after about 15 days of completely forgetting my existence.

I bless those days when his devilishly handsome face was not in sight.

Not that I am complaining.

All I need is to retaliate my pent up anger and get done with this!!!!.

It burdens my heart to know the fact that my enemy is alive and leading a good life, while destroying my happy family...…

But this time I have plans ready with me.

Today SAMRAT will find his death in this room!!.

These past 15 days were equal to being in hell. Not being able to kill the murderer of your father is the world's biggest punishment.

To breath the same air as your enemy is equal to death.

And I...…..

I want to live and want to break free from this cage. I want to breath fresh air of freedom and smell the blood of that monster and only then peace shall embrace my heart.

Sleep shall envelope me in its blanket.

And how much I want that blanket to be his skin skinned while he is still alive!!!!

I am hating this!!!

I can't bear his sight!!

It's not that I never tried to run away.

I didn't even eat for a week,

didn't allow the royal doctor to treat me...….. didn't speak to anyone...….

I threw tantrums,  cried ,wept, even destroyed the whole room every single day but nothing worked...….

Even though I cusse him to the fullest in the deepest and darkest places of my heat...….

He was successful in making me believe that I can't stand tall in front of him.

Yes he was!!!

And I have to accept that.

I should accept the strength of my enemy...….

Thinking about my first day in this palace brings shivers down my spine. I still can't forget his fierce kiss and the way he treated me.

I can't bargain my chastity for this revenge!!!

I can't go that far...…. forgive me father I can't be a fearless daughter which you expected me to be...…..

Though I am trying to put a brave front I am scared to death...…..

Don't mistake me

I am not scared of death! But I am scared of him trying to make me his. What if I have to accept being his concubine?

I don't want to be the one to warm his bed.

I shall choose death rather than being his wife.

Why?? Cause I can't be an ideal wife . It will shatter the thought I have to love my future husband!!! I can't act as if nothing happened while every inch of him reminds me of my father's dead body!!

It's not that I never tried to die...…..

In these days I even tried to kill myself, I lost hope to live and a wanted to see my father, that was all that was on my mind ….but failed miserably.

He made me feel ineligible of being alive!!

And that's why these two maids are here at my surveillance.

Spying on me...…..

My thoughts which are running with the speed of light are suddenly obstructed as

Nandini who is massaging my arms with fragrance body oil  snaps her fingers in front of my eyes and says

" Your highness what are those thought that have kept you entangled? You are sweating profusely huffing with anger  Can I have a piece of your mind? ".

See.... trying to know my thoughts... but I am not an easy target. I can very well hide my inner emotion.... I say

"Nothing important.... continue your work"

" well I just wanted to know.....you see other royal ladies always ask my suggestion  whenever they encounter problems no matter which type of ".

She says playfully trying to calm my nerves.....

"Suggestions from. You!! Well... what type of suggestions do you provide?" I ask out of curiosity..

" Don't think I am bragging your highness but suggestions such as how to make the king yours permanently,  how to get a child, how to teach your rival a lesson and such things...."

She says as she comes closer to my ear like it's a secret...….. I chuckle at this thought rolling my eyes and massaging my forehead with my index at her horrible advices to the royal ladies. Poor royal ladies....

" ya keep doing that and then one day I shall throw you out of this palace"

I say gritting through my teeth.

Trying to scare her. I want her to be out of my way she annoys me most of the time with her useless conversations.

" Please don't be angry my lady I am just bluffing I just wanted to lighten your mood you seemed tensed...….. I know that his highness the king will be here any movement in the evening but don't worry he is much better and gentle person than you presume isn't it Aanandi??." She says looking at Aanandi with bright eyes..

Aanandi nods positively in response giving me a calm sweet smile.

I hate these sisters.... can't they understand my current situation...…..

I don't know what your king has fed you or if its black magic but one thing is for sure people in this palace have lost the sense of differentiating the right and wrong.

I roll my eyes again , seeing which Nandini tries to defend her logic and says

" it's TRUE my lady, my lord takes atmost care of her highness lady Tara , whenever lady Tara enters the court room his highness postpones all the criminal cases for that day keeping ladies health into consideration.

He even plays musical instruments for her, eats with her , and always is there for her at all times, he eve..."

I glare at her at this point. Muting her just as her sister...

Firstly I have lost my dad, secondly I was not able to take my revenge, and finally I hate the topic of couple at the movement!.

I smirk at her stupidity. Raising one of my eyebrows and say

" your king is anything but a gentleman he doesn't even know how to behave in the court of justice!!.

Don't teach me what to assume your not my governor you are a lowly maid and just do what you are supposed to be doing."

The coldness in my tone was enough to bring her babbling to a full stop.

She doesn't understand my feelings.....and I don't want to explain her...…. every person connected to Samrat in any way possible is my enemy!!!

I am waiting for the evening...…

eagerly waiting...….

Samrat you better come prepared...…..

Father I shall give my best, though in a corner of my heart I know I can't but today either he or I will breath the final breath of their life.

Samrats POV

It's been 15 days since that kiss...….

I have been handling many papers, tax collection, preparation of festivals that will arrive in a month or two and most importantly taking care of Tara my life line...….

I just can't stay without her

And I am super excited for our child

But things changed

Ya.....things changed the day my lips met hers no matter what work i do, how busy I keep myself I can't erase that feeling...… and the inner me wants more of it.

She lost her consciousness that day, too tired to digest her situation.

She must know the truth behind her father, but I know she is not ready yet. She needs time and distraction to think calmly for once.

Today after 15 days I am gonna meet her again and I have no idea if I can keep my hands to myself...… she's a temptress and I like getting tempted by her. I stand up from my seat my ministers following my signal walk out of the meeting room.

I take my upavastra putting it over my shoulder while the other end encircled around my forearm. I walk towards my room where that beautiful bird of mine is caged.

I hope she learnt how to behave in these days, she didn't do anything suspicious so it will be safe to go there without my sword, not that I don't know how to defend  with bare hands, besides she cant win against me.

The female guard walks inside the room to announce my arrival and I enter the room right after her.

The maids exit the room with their quick steps and I see my lioness sitting on the couch draped in a peacock green saree.

Her long waves tied in a beautiful braid with flowers on them at intervals.

Her golden blouse which almost acts like her second skin making me want to see what's within.

I suppress all my devilish desires and move forward sitting opposite to her.

She flutters her eyelashes finally meeting my eyes. Hurt being prominent in those brown eyes with a hunger of revenge.

Oh I see she's still not tamed. It makes me want to tame her personally.

I stare at those beautiful eyes, but she averts her eyes under my gaze.  She says " Can I ask for something?"

I furrow my brows at her request and say "hmm"

She stands up walking towards the window giving me the beautiful look of her flawless back , her wavy braid swaying on her curves as she stands facing her back towards me.

I walk towards her extremely close not able to hold back my urge to rip off that blouse and savour her.

But I cannot … not until we are married...…. at least I can do that.

I cage her in between my arms which are now holding the sides of the window sill with her beautiful stature between them.

She faces me...….. eyeing me with need...… I lean forward involuntary trying to dive deeper in those seamless eyes...… her nose ring flashing as the evening sunray hits it tenderly and her wavy bangs swaying with the breeze...….. she pushes herself towards me...… her warm hands on my bare chest as the warmth in her hands seep to my heart making it tingle...…. she moves towards my lips..... is she thinking what I am thinking...…..

I lower my face gripping the sill of the window on her either side tightly...….I am embraced with her sweet mogra ( a flower) smell...…. I can't let go of her now...…. my right hand brushing her exposed waist as  she gasps at the slightest touch, her thick eyelashes flutter...… the corner of the eyes turning moist...… as if it pains her to hold back any more...….. and before I think to give in her needs, she embraces my hard chest placing her soft chubby cheeks against it...…

Her fully grown bosom pressing against me, I can almost feel its tenderness, its softness.

I gulp down my saliva learning now that I had forgotten to breath...….. not even Tara make me feel like this...… I move my hands towards her waist as I hold her soft skin digging my fingers into her...… my friend already excited for the further events.

And suddenly I twist her right hand with my left making the dagger in her hand fall on the ground.

Her shocking expressing meet my smirk as I flash my gilded canines at her.

Tears slipping down those rosy cheeks as she tries to break free, punching my chest with her tiny fist.

Indrayanis POV.

I got caught in the act!!!!

I acted soo naturally and was about to stab his neck but suddenly he spotted my movements. I don't know how but all I know is that I have to run away from this situation.

He laughs at my attempts and tears flow down my cheeks, my right hand twisted till the most painful point and is locked behind my back.

He pulls me towards himself unable to control his laughter as he buries his face in my neck laughing as if the hunter has finally found his favorite prey...….

I try to push him but he doesn't even move an inch.

His breath tickling my neck and his laughter comes to halt. ….. silence prevailing the room as his mouth pressed against my ear, I shiver at the close proximity,  breathing heavily, my vision almost blur as if I am sand blind, I stay still as a statue ….. he nibbles my ear ring biting my earlobe, I try to avoid but cannot completely escape the situation.

He then says " Pranking ? Are we.....hmm my beloved princess wants to play is it?".

His deep voice stops my world.

All my organs stop functioning as my mind goes blank.

" you are handful sweetheart...…hmm...….. where do you get such ideas from...…HMMM" he say gritting his teeth yelling at me.

I stand there crying silently. I no longer have the bravery to yell at him...… he sighs heavily resting his chin at the nape of neck..... hugging by the other hand as the grip of his left hand tightens on twisting my arms.

"ah"

I low hurtful whisper slips my mouth as he looks amused in my eyes, our nose brushing each others...….. he kisses my tears away...…

Leaning forward to my lips and repulsively I say " no don't " trying to avoid this uninvited kiss....

"Why not?...….. why can't I your highness?. …WHY THE HELL CANT I KISS MY FUTURE WIFE? "

He yells at me I flinch at his sudden thunder.

" I am sorry...…(sobs )…(hiccups)I won't do it again".

"Do what honey?"

" i am sorry" i say no beg him.

Smirking , lusting and that mischievous look in his eyes he says.

"Okay I will forgive you if you kiss me voluntarily".

My eyes go wide at his request and I shout

"WHY DONT YOU JUST KILL ME?"

" so you still have the guts don't you?".

He snaps his fingers covering my messy stature  by his broad shoulder's and I peak above his shoulder.

And  I can't believe my eyes. Two female soldiers have clinched my maids hair in their fists and have placed the sharp edge of the sword on their throat.

Nandini says " please save us my lady"... In a weak barely audible tone.

I look at him  my voice just above whisper and say " I will...….let them go".

"Sure thing love." He snaps his fingers and the door once again closes leaving me behind with this monster.

He bends forward anticipating my kiss and I say" I am not comfortable here." My gaze shifting towards the floor.

"Okay" he carries me in bridal style all the way till the couch and sits on the couch with me on his lap.

" now I cant wait any more...… okay so at the count of 5 I need your lips on mine."

He says gripping my waist with his hand

I am not ready for this "1"

Wait let me get ready  " 3"

Whattttt.... I look at him with my wide eyes and his lips crash on mine as soon as my eyes meet his.

He pushes me down on the couch kissing me gently...… its soo good that I almost want it more.....

I don't resist him...… he breaks the kiss reading my expressions with a smirk on his lips.

He bends down at my neck biting my neck with his sharp canines and says " we are going to get married and  I will accept you as my second wife and not as a concubine "

" I don't want this marriage "

Chuckles " as if some one will accept you after staying in my palace".

" you cant force me in this!"

" honey we were already destined together I will tell you the story later so for now believe me!"

" you cannot be expecting me to believe a murderer!!"

" once you know the truth you will learn things by yourself!"

What is he speaking about.....

I don't understand a thing but I have another idea to break free from this marriage

" I have one condition."
