Taking What's MINE!

The Bridal shower

Rahul's POV

A week's time is all that is left, to make my angel officially mine. The day I found her, I was serious about making her mine and nobody gets to have her but me. So, I asked Ajay to do a background check on her. She's just 20 years old and her educational record was seemingly impressive not only was she intelligent and talented but also a very kind, shy and caring person.

I also made a background check on her personal life and as I thought, she has had no history of boyfriends, in fact, she has always maintained a distance from the opposite gender. Many guys who tried to get closer to her have always been shut out before they could make any advances. pretty impressive Diya! I wonder how will you resist me?

Her father, Atul uncle had a record of debts taken from me and I found a weak point! Diya, the type of girl that she is, will never give up running away from me but her dad, well, let's just say I used my power to convince her family for our marriage. Convincing her family was like a piece of cake, as her father and mine were old friends and I could sense greed in him, he'd never let go of my proposal, needless to say having me as son-in-law would assure him of any help in future.

My angel! you are soon going to be mine, and when I'll have you I won't hold back! I'll take your everything. That reminded me of her face after I kissed her on our engagement day. Her face was flushed, cheeks were red and her lips were trembling. Only God knows how I controlled myself from taking her. Today is the bridal shower, she might be getting ready for the Haldi and Mehendi ceremony, man how badly I want to see her!

Diya's POV

Today is my bridal shower and tomorrow my wedding. I am feeling sick already, why am I being tied to such a man? why do I have to get married now? why me? why? I was sad thinking of the series of events that took place a week ago, and how my life got changed within a day of meeting that monster!

As I was sitting before the mirror, Sheela was busying giving final touches to my outfit and make-up. Soon mom came to get me for the Haldi and Mehendi ceremony. I was least interested in it while the girls around were smiling and teasing me calling that jerk's name, "Ma'am, whose name should I write on your palm?" asked the Mehendi artist while I was lost in thoughts, I jerked a little and then said "Rahul" while in reality, I wanted to scream and get out of here.

Mom was busy attending to the guests while Sheela was busy showing off her dance moves and irritating me. Dad seemed to be busy in handling the wedding arrangements and spending time with his friends when I saw Peppy uncle and his wife walking through the door. I guess they must be here to give shagun . I suddenly got scared, if Peppy uncle and Jaya aunty are here then maybe that monster must be here as well, wait no, that cannot be possible, the groom and bride are not allowed to see each other before the wedding.

I was done with my Mehendi and I wanted to take rest in my room as the loud music caused a head-ache and sitting for a long duration was taking a toll on me. I stepped into my room adjusting the lehenga when an arm snuck around my waist and another covered my mouth. My screams were not audible to anyone anyway, as the music was way loud to even make a huge explosion audible!

I was held so tightly in those strong arms that I could not make any move. I was worried about my Mehendi when a warm breath fanned my ear ," You know, I've not had a peaceful sleep since the day I saw you. Every night I dream of you sleeping in my arms and get over joyed with exhileration but, the joy soon pops-up like a bubble at the dawn when I find the other side of the bed empty and cold." the low pitched serious toned yet abnormally authoritative voice was not unfamiliar to me, that monster was holding me by my waist and I just want to get away from him. Also, the bride and groom are not supposed to see each other before the wedding so, I just closed my eyes tightly praying he'd respect the traditions and leave me.

"Hey! why did you close your eyes? I know you are shy and all, but I'm going to see you everyday not to forget we'll be together for the rest of our lives, so you don't have to be shy." he said chuckling near my ear, he held me close and slowly moved his head to the crook of my neck softly kissing it. I was struggling in his grip when he finally decided to losen it, I took this as an opportunity to push him away and ran into the wash room locking myself in. My breath was uneven and my heart was beating so fast that I could actually hear it.

I can't take this any more, at this rate I'm going to be helpless and everytime I become helpless he is going to take advantage of it! he was lucky I had Mehendi on my hands otherwise I'd have punched his face and disfigured it a day before the wedding. "How dare you come into my room? Don't you know that bride and groom are not allowed to see each other before the wedding? and how dare you hold me like that? I swear next time I'm going to kill you if you try something nasty like this!", I warned him in the most rude tone I have ever spoken to someone with.

"well, looks like I made someone upset, don't worry, I'll make it right tomorrow after our wedding" this time his voice sounded threatening and dominating. If he is going to be a jerk then I'm going to deal with him just the way jerks are to be dealt with.
