Chapter 56


Anthonia POV

I sighed tiredly.
Kaeya hasn't stopped making the oral list of how awesome I was as a bestie all because she loved the charm bracelet and hair pins I got for her together with some classy bags and shoes I knew she'd love.

"Quit it already Kae. I know that is awesome , okay? But you need to get going now,I need to get to the kitchen to make dinner." I said.

"Awwwn…typical wife." She teased and giggled.

Crazy….
I saw her off and headed back in to get to the kitchen when Deven's ride rolled in.

He just missed Kaeya.
Wow!

I hung around till he got to the entrance where I stood.

"Hey.." he hailed as I rendered him a wide smile.

"Welcome.." I greeted and he nodded.

"How was school?" He asked reaching to feel my hair as I shrugged.

"Enjoyable. Kaeya just left." I notified and he quickly glanced at the gate.

"Seriously?" He asked

"Yeah." I replied with a grin.

"Oh.. okay." He muttered and headed in as I giggled.

Wow!
Lover boy!

Dinner preparation was one thing I could never be perfect at.
Cooking was so not me..

I was in the middle of setting up the table when Aditi arrived.

"Grandson.." Granny called as he bent to touch her feet from where she sat.

"Welcome my child. Er.. Anthoniadear…" she called.

"Granny?.." I replied and walked over to where she sat.

"Go on.. attend to your husband needs. Start by carrying his jacket since there is no briefcase to carry." She urged and I arched a brow in surprise.

Seriously?

"Is there any need for this Granny?" Aditi groaned.

"Adi!" I looked to see Diya alighting the stairs and scuttled to hug him.
She hugged him right before me!

It wasn't meant to affect me but I felt mad within.
I glanced at Granny who only shrugged and I glared at Diya who was busy cooing words to Aditi while holding his hand.

I cleared my throat gaining only Diya's attention.

"FYI..he just got in and we were about going to 'our' bedroom." I spoke up laying an emphasis then took Aditi's jacket from him,held his left hand locking it with mine and led us towards the stairs.

Once inside the room, Aditi jerked his hand off and took his jacket from me before heading to keep it in the wardrobe.

"You seriously don't have to be so rude." I snapped.

Silence..

Aditi has been a total snub to me since we got back tho,we never did talk well in the past…but…the silence is way too weird now.

"Thank you,that's enough Anthonia." Father said and I stopped serving him then headed to my seat so I could start eating.

"Are you serious about that trip?" Father suddenly asked.

"Yes. Besides,I got a call from my manager few days ago. I have a concert to attend and a photoshoot for a company new product cover in Korea so I'll have to go." Aditi replied and I almost choked on my meal.

"Means you'll be going alongside Diya?" Mother asked.

"Yes." They chroused and I choked.
A very painful one at that.
My chest began to burn and hurt badly as my eyes grew hot and watery.

I saw Aditi extend a glass of water to me but I took mine instead totally ignoring him.

"Are you all right?" Aunt Shyla asked and I nodded.
I carried on with eating my meal slowly.
Diya would be going on q trip…all alone with Aditi!
According to Diya, they would be leaving the next day.
Jeez!

After dinner,I joined Janvi and the twins to clean up the table.

"It would be nice if you help my brother pack up. He sucks at it but he is one great fashionista." Janvi suggested and I sighed.

Is everyone so blind to see that I don't want this union?
All they want is for us to come together.
Ugh!
I only nodded.

I closed the door behind me only to get greeted by a whiff of smoke.
Aditi was at it again.

I itched my hair tiredly unsure of how I would start packing up clothes for Aditi.

Do I even really need to pack up for him?
He is capable of doing it himself.
After all, he is snubbing me off late.
Not like I care..

Morning…

As I alighted the stairs,I saw everyone preforming a goodbye ritual for Aditi and Diya.

The smile Diya wore made me so want to punch her stup*d face.

"Be safe son." Granny wished and kissed his forehead.

"You didn't pack up his luggage,did you?" I heard Janvi whispered to me and I rolled my eyes.

I watched as they both left the mansion,got into their ride and off…they went.

Diya POV

Am surely going to make great use of these coming days alone with you Adi .
Getting rid of that girl wouldn't be so hard once I get you to love me as much as I do.

Location:K.H

Anthonia POV

I scribbled absently as my mind raced through what Diya could possibly be doing with Aditi at that time.
Ugh!

I ought not to be thinking about it!

A hand banged my table lightly and I jerked looking up to see the person foolish enough to do that and it turned out to be Nathasha.

I rolled my eyes tiredly.
"How may I help you?" I demanded and she wore a sly smrink.

"Stepsister..I can really see that being a wife of the Singh's household is really paying off on you." Nathasha said arching a brow.

I could easily sense mockery,but for what?

"Tell me something.."
She drew a seat and occupied it next to me as I glared at her.

"How was the honeymoon? Did you finally get to seal your marriage?..or…he finds you…"

"Nathasha!" I snapped standing up as she did the same.

"You can't just walk in here and stick your nose in my private business. Besides, you are too immature to know about these things. Go shove your face in a pit." I retorted angrily grabbing my bag and made an exit.

I needed Kaeya badly but she was having dance lessons at the moment.

Diya POV

Once settled in the hotel suit, I began to go through some paper work relating to our reason for coming to this place.

We had lodged a two bedroom suite upon the request of Adi which surprised me so much as we always shared a room and a bed.

Hours passed and I soon felt hungry.
I dropped the file I was going through and got off the bed heading out of the room.

I fixed my hair before going into Aditi's room.

He wasn't inside the room when I got in

"Where is he?" I muttered going farther into the room when I heard a running shower and smiled.

He was bathing.
I sighed and bit my lower lip.

A part of me longed to just strip and join Aditi there in the bathroom under the cozy shower but I decided to wait till he comes out.

After a very long time, he finally got out in a robe much to my disappointment.

I expected him in a towel.

Adi pulled on a stunned look which faded instantly.

"Diya.." he called and I smiled

"Sorry for barging in. I felt lonely." I apologized in a not so sincere way as I eyed him.
His wet hair made his facial appearance alluring.

All the fiery needs came rushing in mightily.
I walked over to where he stood before the wardrobe.

He had already pulled on a loose pants and taken off the robe.

I hugged him from behind breathing in his sweet scent fresh from the bath.

"Diya…" He called making my skin heat up.
The way he called my name felt so sweet!
I moved standing between him and the open wardrobe and I locked mh arms around his neck holding gazes with him.

My gaze dropped to his lips,so wet and inviting.

I tiptoed pressing my lips against his teasing it with my tongue the way I know he loved it.

"Stop Diya.." He said and turned his back at me.

"Adi ..we both know this is totally normal between us. We want each other and you can't deny that. But instead,you ignore my signals recently,why?" I retorted and he walked away to the dressing table aavhw took up a pack of cigarette, brought out a stick and lited it.

No sooner, he was puffing seriously and he only does that when he is upset over something.

Damn that girl!
Adi doesn't even take notice of me as he used to.
I was this close to being his wife!

I took fee steps to where he stood.

"Look,am sorry if I made you upset. I only thought you wanted me like I do. I never knew what we shared is now useless." I blackmailed lowering my gaze as Adi sighed dropping the burning stick on an ash tray then walked right out of the room.

Adi walked out on me!
He didn't even turn to hold me close,kiss me and apologize like he does.

He simply left!
