I'm panting by the time I reach back to the room . The gunshots still ring in my ears as I sit on the edge of the bed . Soon, he steps inside the room. 

His hands red with his own blood but they are still soaked in someone else's blood at the same time.

His handsome face looks more than evil to me right now .  He straight heads inside the bathroom and I follow him to the threshold .

I stand there watching him wash his hands . There's a deep cut on his hand but his face is as still as a stone . He doesn't seem to care and the blood doesn't seem to stop .

I get a first aid box from the drawer to dress his wound . He lets me do it and utters,"you shouldn't have come there"

"Why ?" I look up ,"you didn't want me to see your reality?"

"No" he shakes his head ,"I don't want you to spend a life fearing your husband"

" everyone is scared of my husband "

"But you shouldn't be princess , that's the last thing I want"

"Did you kill that man ?" I gulp a lump that has already formed in my throat . I know the answer already .

"He was dead before he dared to look me in the eyes"

"You just took a life" I drop his hand on the bed ,"do you not feel at all guilty"

"No" the answer is clear ," Agar mai use nahi maarta toh vo mujhe maar deta"

"You're untouchable kaiz"

"I am because of the same fear , yet people would kill me the very first chance they get." He stands right up, "you are banished from leaving the house without my permission . That means you won't step a foot outside the main door without my word ."

"Alright" I shut the box and he continues ,"you are the love of my life and I want you safe so you will never step a foot inside my business"

"I can't promise that"

"I will make sure , princess but it's strange. The man you want to kill, you're dressing his wounds"

"Nobody else can take the pleasure of killing you from me"

He smirks . Maybe knowing I don't mean any of the shit I just spoke . I'm just bluffing. 

Now , I'm not even sure what I want to do to this man . The moment I saw him bleeding, an ache rose in my heart .

Strange .

Very strange.

The next morning I wake up early just to check how he starts his day . I've not had any such chance so ...

I get dressed in a lime yellow, princess maxi dress with puffy sleeves .

Absolutely gorgeous.  I tie my hair with a flower shaped claw clip and head down the stairs. 

Kaiz wakes up at 4 and it's currently 5 am .

The whole staff is already at work and they get a little shocked seeing me up so early in the morning .

"Mam, this early.  Do you need something ? You should have called "

"No -- I just -- where's Kaiz ?"

"Boss is in the backside gardens , he works out there for a while in the morning"

"I thought he uses the gym"

"That's during the very first hour of his waking up . At 5 , you will usually find him outside . At least that what we've been seeing since the last few days" I'm seeing her add a green colored juice from the bleder to a glass . She places it on the tray and is about to hand it over to a guard but I'm quick to grab the tray . "I -- will take it thanks"

"Are you sure mam"

"Let her" Neil's mom orders ," sahab will be pleased"

I nod and head out but the guards stop me immediately, "apologies madam , you're not allowed to step out of the house"

"Alright you can ask him, I feel Suffocated in here"

The guard head away after nodding and about a minute he's back ,"I'm sorry mam  , you can go ."

I smile heading out with the tray . The juice looks something that's a blend of greens and protein . Maybe.

I didn't notice that the gardens behind the bungalow are vast covered with trees that bear a variety of fruits . I'm guessing he likes organic food .

Otherwise why would a Don have gardens like these . There's a pull up bar and few other equipments and the man is right there.

Standing just in his lower with a towel around his neck. My eyes don't fail to drop down to where the v forms .

I gulp and head towards him, then I notice Neil’s presence . He has a tab in his hand as he dictates something to his boss . 

Boss who is wiping the sweat off his face and is looking at me like he's about to eat me alive .

Did I mention how handsome he looks in the morning light . How his body glistens with sweat . How he flexes his abs just by breathing. His hair stick to his forhead and he slowly narrows his eyes focusing on my face .

He's really handsome . I mean really . He's the kind of man anyone would throw themselves over. 

"The consignment you signed is ready for exporting.  It has reached the port . Yesterday the payment from the cassino was collected and will soon be transfered to the main account . About the stock -- Boss" he looks up at kaiz who has his gaze frozen onto my face .

Neil sighs getting up "samajhgya , I'll leave now because he looses all his senses at the mere sight "

I don't know what to say as Neil passes by my side and vanishes inside the house .

"Good morning " I put the glass down on the table. 

He doesn't even spare it a glance ,"nice dress"

His words ignite a flame at my cheeks . I clench my jaw not to give him any smile .

"I know"

"You don't have to do all this"

"I know that too but -- I don't have a problem in helping."

"Then help me" His lips part and eyes drop to my neckline .  I step back putting both my hands right under my collarbones ,"what !!"

He smirks shamelessly . "Don't wake up this early, if you do then don't doll up and come to me ."

"Don't you like it" I tilt my head as he puts the towel down . His biceps , oh God.

"You turned me on mid-work . So I guess I do"

"Oh- I'll leave then" I turn around and he immediately stops me ,"no don't-- stay "

That's what I want.  I stay and walk around a few steps . The air is fresh and the place feels nice but my heels are not at all meant for a garden  . I watch kaiz grab the bar with the hand that's not injured. 

He lifts himself off the ground with a single hand and my mouth drops open . 

I can't contain the question inside of myself so I let it out ," are you even strong or are the abs just for show ?"

I stroll to face him , my arms crossed in front of my chest.  He suddenly wraps the other arm around my waist and presses me to himself .

The next second , my feet are off the ground. My arms snake themselves around his neck and my eyes are fixed into his . This man must know some kind of black magic .

"I can show you that if you --" he smirks , gaze dropping to my lips ,"give me a chance princess"

I regret the question the very instance it leaves my mouth ," and how do you plan on doing that ?"

"By giving you an unforgettablly painful yet the most satisfying night" he pulls up like I weigh nothing more than a feather.

"That" I grit my teeth ,"is never going to happen"

"Boss" someone's voice leaves me frozen . He finally puts his feet on the ground like the superman he is .

I look over my shoulder and a guard has his eyes fixed at the ground.

Instantly I pull away but he doesn't let me free myself.

"This better be important" he declares . I notice his sharp jawline so close to my eyes now . The thought of asking his skincare does cross my mind but then I realize it's better not to ask him that.

It must be something horrendous .

The green juice sitting on the table does give me side eye a few times .

"Mr Dante called to invite you at the opening of his Cassiono tonight . He insisted on madam to join you as everyone wants to meet her"

"NO" his answer is instant and direct ,"tell him not to mention my wife again ."

"As you say boss" he leaves and kaiz takes a seat finally giving the glass some attention.

"What's that" I can't help but pull a face ,"do you always drink stuff like that"

He nods ,"did you think I'm a vampire who drinks nothing but blood" he chuckles.

"No but I certainly didn't think of you to be a health conscious Don" It's my turn to laugh this time .

He grabs my hand and pulls me to his lap .

" what--"

"Have a sip"

"Noo" I can already feel like throwing up.

"Just one"

I'm forced to taste the juice which tastes like absolute trash .

"Yuckkkk !!" I have to put a palm in front of my mouth .

"Is it that bad" he behaves like he doesn't know it is .

"I shouldn't have come here"

He laughs before drinking the whole glass in front of my eyes . It was so bitter I can't believe my eyes .

"Maniac" I shake my head and stroll inside the house.

He follows me and immediately a guard rushes to him with a new towel.

I make my way to the kitchen and he walks to the hall half naked .

"Put on a damn shirt" I yell at him and he stops ,"pardon me your highness "
