Chapter 6

Mahi woke up and went downstairs after refreshing to leave for her and Varun's new home where driver was waiting for you. During the drive she called Mr. Singh

"Hello Mr. Singh I want to ask you something?"

"First call me father or Uncle then you allowed to ask anything " he said giggling on phone.

She stared at phone *Is he really mafia king or what?!* back to call "OK U-Uncle is more comfortable. sorry... so I wanna ask you what's with that 30% shares? "

"oh that... I did that so we would have chain to control his power in case he knows about you. Also he can't divorce you easily as he could lose large section of company." He said coolly.

"But it’s too much, he thought I asked you for it and was... kind of mad." she said last part mumbling.

"What?! he didn't hurt you right? I will break his leg if he did!!" Mr. Singh was fuming now.

"No no!! h-he.... he didn't do anything we just had a little conversation about it." Mahi was aware about the relationship of Varun and Mr. Singh and she don't want to make it worse.

"Hmm... let me know if something happens ok and about the launch as I promised I will help you but right now it’s not good to continue your work... let this thunder settle a bit until that, rest, ok. I need to go now bye dear." They hanged up after saying goodbye.

She reached their new house and was about to enter in but stopped when she spots Varun also coming out of his car.

He saw her and made cold disgusted face and went inside to his room. She also entered after him and greeted by maids.

Suddenly they heard a loud thud and his groaning. She rushes upstairs and saw her suitcase was thrown on the floor and her cloths were scattered. He reached her and grabbed handful of her hair making her scream in pain.

"You bitch!! trying to get in my room huh!!" he shouts at her dragging in his room and throw on floor.

"Pick your bags and things from here and get out. NOW!!" he growled at her.

She gasped and saw around, her belongings were shifted in his rooms by servants, not to create problem for them, she got up quietly sobbing and took her things out and tell a maid to clean his room.

The maid’s apologies to her for shifting her things to his room as told by Mr. Singh. She just sighed and weakly smiled.

"It’s okay... I understand." with that she was about to leave but a voice echoed in gallery.

"All maids are fired! everyone leaves this house." Varun said coming out of his room.

"Then who will do cleaning and other households" Mahi protest.

"You!! You are not planning to eat and sleep for free, are you?" he roared and tell maids to leave.

"So from now on you will stay at home and take care of it and if I found you disobeyed I will kick you out and no-one would save you from me.... go and prepare my breakfast. NOW!!"

He commands her going back to his room and Mahi flinched on his shutting door.

After an hour Varun came down ready to leave for office. Mahi called him as she prepared the best breakfast she can.

She put the plate in front of him and bring him some juice. When she turned around she saw Varun throwing the food in dustbin and the plate thrown at her foot.

"Do you call this shit a food!! You're pathetic." He took his coat and left house.

Here Mahi was really hurt, she spent so much efforts and time for preparing it and he didn't even taste it.

"It’s ok... it ok... n-next time I will try better. Let’s start with cleaning" she calmed herself.

She put the speaker and starts cleaning and cursing her life. She knows and understands that in order to protect something you have to pay also. So she didn't complain for doing house chores.

It was evening, time for Varun's arrival from office. She doesn’t want to make him angry so she started making dinner quickly.

After half an hour Varun reached home fuming in anger but then he heard someone beautifully humming.

He followed the voice and found Mahi singing and preparing dinner. She was facing her back to him, unaware of her husband's piercing stares.

Varun's p.o.v.

I was retuning back home when on the way dad called me and scold for being mad at her.

Wait did she complain about me?!...

This little looks so innocent but clever as hell huh... alright you wanna play like this I will crush you.

I was planning how to teach her some lesson to be obedient.

But my all anger flew when I heard this calm humming and found Mahi preparing food like nothing happened.

------------END OF Varun's P.O.V.

After a while, she noticed his presence and greet him, he didn't respond but broke up from his thoughts and went to his room.

Half hour passed he came down and notice the house was clean means she did what he told her, and reaching dining table.

He saw food was already served and Mahi waiting for him. They sit at opposite corners of table. It was all silent and only chewing and utensils sound was echoing in that dawn big house.

After dinner she took the plates and starts cleaning. Varun was busy with phone and then his eyes fell on her. Something came in his evil mind.

He stood up and went to her slowly back hugging and helping her to wash. Mahi was shocked but she didn't show and let him do what he wants.

"We have nice water heater I see.... how far it can heat did you saw him? " Out of blue he asked her calmly.

Mahi was confused aft” usually they have 120 degree Fahrenheit." she replied not dare to turn or ask for reason.

She saw him turning the hot water tap at highest temperature.

"hmm.... then what's the water temperature required to burn skin." He again questions with amaze tone.

"I-It’s a-above 108-degree F-Fahrenheit" she replied scared because she can sense something bad is gonna happen.

He chuckled darkly.

"Damn. I didn't expect you knew that much" he drops the plate and grab her left wrist softy, putting chin on her shaking shoulder and starts stroking her back palm with his thumb.

He again enquired in deep cold voice making Mahi's heartbeats getting faster and louder

"then.... how long skin can hold this temperature.........."

"I-I-Its 2-3 second---- AAAAAAAA!!!" She shouts her lungs as he put her hand suddenly under the running hot burning water.

She was pushing her hand back but he didn't let go her wrist, she was crying and shouting out in pain loudly to let go.

"Isn't it’s the hand you dialed my father to complain about last night hmm..." he said blankly, staring at her burning hand still under hot water.

"I-I s-swear I d-didn’t t-tell h-him P-PLEASE *sob* let go *cry* I BEG YOU!!!!" she shouts on her top of lungs.

He pulled her hand and slash it in ice cold water in a small tub placed adjacent to tap making her scream again and give up on her knees.

"Next time be careful of what you do" he warned and staring at her burned hand and throwing it to her face.

"GET LOST!!" he shouts and Mahi run to her room totally crying mess.

She run into find something to cool down her burning sensation, she remembered first aid is in store. She stood to open the door but it was locked.

She banged continuously.

"No! please open it! open it!! VARUN!!" but she heard closing of another door means Varun locked her in and slept in his room.

She slides down leaning her head on the door and banging weakly

"P-please open it *crying* its r-really hurting”.
