Chapter 40


Anthonia POV

As she said those words, I vibrated in anger as I charged at her landing a tight slap across her face.

"You sl*t! Get the h*ll out of here before I loose my mind!" I screamed and she scoffed getting off the bed picking up her things.

"Sick..." She muttered leaving before I would probably have the chance to hit her again.

I glanced at Aditi who looked so spent and oblivious of anything going on.

"Com'on Kaeya ..help me.." I urged as I struggled to wear Aditi his shirt.
We both got him dressed and out of that place.

I closed the jeep door as Aditi slept.
"Thank you so much Kae..." I appreciated.

"No problem B...just take care of him .. bye..." She hugged me and headed to her ride.

I turned to face all the guards.
"Are you all so stup*d!? How could you let him get this drunk!?" I snapped.

"We were only following orders." One of them said.

"Stup*d orders! Y'all so lucky nothing happened else....."
I huffed opening the jeep door getting in as they apologized and moved on.

In no time, we were on our way home.
I glanced at Aditi who was asleep.
How on earth did he get himself involved with that sl*t?!
Ugh!

My phone began to ring .
Janvi.....
I took the call.

"Thank goodness! Where are you!?" Janvi queried and I sighed glancing at Aditi.

"Am coming..."
With that, I ended the call sighing.

Diya POV

Everyone had woken up on Janvi announcing that Aditi was yet to return and Anthoniawas missing.

Adi's cell phone was switched off and Anthoniawasn't picking.
No sooner after the call Janvi made, Anthoniashowed up supporting Aditi inside.

"Adi..." I exclaimed running to him.
He was made to sit on a couch and he smelled so bad of alcohol.

"Where did you find him Anthonia?" Mother who had been so worried asked.

"Some lousy club like that. Deven,help me take him up to our room please." Anthoniasighed and Deven complied as w watched them take Adi up the stairs.

Anthonia POV

"It's a good thing you found him." Deven said after I had told him everything and I sighed.

"Is he always like this? Drinking himself to nothing?" I asked fixing my gaze on his face.... Aditi's face.

"Yeah. But off late...he hasn't visited that club, and even if he does,he only drinks unlike before when he'd get himself a sl*t for the night." Deven replied.

Seriously?

"I'll leave now. Good night." He said and headed out.

I exhaled going to my side of the bed as I laid down watching Aditi sleep.

With what Deven said.. could it be that.... Aditi is being... faithful..?...to me?..

Ugh!
I shook my head. Not possible.
He still could be seeing more women after all,we have had our nuptial night... which won't happen... Never!

Diya was right in a way...of Aditi and I not being happy about what we share.
As bad as I would love to get this marriage dissolved,I also want to put Diya in her place.

I sighed still watching Aditi till I drifted off to sleep.

Anthonia POV

I turned tiredly on the bed and slowly let my eyes open.

I sat up on the bed to find out Aditi wasn't there anymore.
Huh?

Still in the middle of my thoughts, I heard the door open and I tore my gaze to the direction as Aditi stepped out in only a white towel.

I think he had just gotten out of the shower.

I couldn't help but admire his figure... those abs.... and....hold on...

I spotted a tattoo on his chest.
It appeared new..like he just had it done.

"Can't take your eyes off huh?" I heard Aditi say totally snapping me right out of my thoughts.

I scoffed looking away as I got off the bed.

"Hold on...is that my jacket?" He asked and I gasped lowly.

Oops!
I must have forgotten to take it off before sleeping.

"Well yeah.." I replied with a shrug and made my way to the bathroom.

"Why the h*ll did you put it on!?" He snapped and I stopped on my tracks arching a brow at him.

. "Seriously? Is that how you say 'thank you'?" I sneered laying an emphasis and he furrowed his brows.

I took off the jacket tossing it at him as he caught it .

"FYI... you are the reason I wore it.. yes! Cut the slack Aditi,where were you late last night!? Infinity club?. You made everyone worried sick...well... except me. You were having so much fun with a sl*t that you forgot about the fact that you have a family waiting for your return. You forgot about the fact that you have...a....wife... For goodness sake Aditi,show me some respect!. I really dunno how long I'll take this anymore. Yes, I get the fact that you don't want this marriage...Same here... every moment with you makes me feel sick! I long to be free from this whole sh*t! But then...in as much as I don't care about this I also get hurt knowing that I am not given the respect I deserve. Do you know what everyone say about me? Especially since that Diya arrived?..."

I paused taking a deep breath not wanting to break down.

"... you shouldn't care anyways.... There's your jacket. Keep having fun." I concluded and rushed into the bathroom trying so hard to fight back the tears in my eyes.

I hate this marriage so much,but being disrespected daily hurts a lot!...so so much!
Ugh!

I sat down to eat from my plate silently.
I was technically the only one not taking at the table... including Aditi...like I care.

"Anthonia... you're so mute.." Janvi noticed and I sighed.
"Am fine."

"If not for Anthonia,we wouldn't have found you last night yono.." Deven spoke up to Aditi who stared at me as I did the same before moving my gaze away.

"Yes son.. you should thank her ". Father-in-law added.

Diya chuckled.
"Am sure he'd done that already. Anyways,we should get the decorations for the fast ready right?" Diya chipped in totally and successfully diverting the topic.

Am so glad I'll get to see Mother and Krish soon.
They've been invited to come have the fast in the Singh's Mansion.

The fast is just a day away and am really not expectant of it.



Location; Mall

Diya POV

As I made my way out of the car park,I heard someone call my name.
Huh?

I turned to see a young lady quite dressed... totally not a typical Indian.

Her short hugging stylish skirt and hugging strapless top revealing her cleavage said it all ... she's just like me

She had a dark shade on and her hair,long and loosed.

"Who are you?" I asked raising a brow and she let out a smirk.

"Someone like you..with the same goal ." She said with so much confidence and I furrowed my brows.

"Excuse me?.." I scoffed as she chuckled.

"Let me be plain.. you want Aditi and I want Anthonia.." she further explained and it dawned on me.

"Wow! You're such a bad b*tch!" I exclaimed.
"Thank you.." she grinned.

"But hold on...are you some sort of l*z... Or what?" I sneered and she chuckled.

"Nope.. ion want her for Aditi. She's too full of herself. I need her for someone else.." she replied.

"Oh!"I muttered.
"We could make a good team." I said
."yeah.. I know." She grinned.

I longed to see her full face.
As if she read my mind,she took off her shades revealing a pretty set of brown eyes and a captivating face with a striking resemblance to someone.

"Nice to meet you,Diya. Am Nathasha,.. Anthonia's stepsister and worst nightmare." She said with so much guts which I loved.

We both shook hands grinning at each other.
