The Accidental Wedding novel Chapter 35

" What happened?", He asked.

"Nothing", I replied, gulping the lump in my throat.

"Don't lie to me, you were okay when you came into the living room but afterward your mood changed, are you mad at me for something? I didn't even remember saying a word to you, so why are you upset?" He asked, his grip on my waist getting harder.

Now, what was I going to tell him, I was mad at him because he didn't say a word to me? Because I was expecting he might whisper something about how good I was looking or some teasing from him.

I didn't know what to reply so I just stood there looking at my hennaed hands which I had placed on his

chest and through which I could sense his beating heart.

He lifted my chin so he could look me in the eye, I kept my gaze downward fearing he might find the answer to his questions in my eyes.

"Look at me", he said.

I kept looking at my hands, I don't know why I was afraid of looking him in the eye.

" Mia, look at me", This time his tone was commanding and his grip on my waist hardened.

I looked at him hoping he was not good at face reading, and he won't find his answer on my face. "What happened baby?", He asked politely, I don't know what made him change his tone may be the

expressions on my face.

My heart was beating in my ears when he called me baby, what the hell was happening to me, Imaad used to call me baby so many times but I never felt the way I was feeling right now.

" Mia", He whispered impatiently.

"I am tired", I lied, turning my face to look in another direction.

"Maybe you should rest, I can understand the stress you have been through in the last two days", He said loosening his grip on my waist and pulling away.

My body protested at the loss of his touch and I got mad again, I had never expected my body would betray me so easily. I walked into the closet to change into something comfortable. Cursing myself, for dressing up like an idiot for him and he didn't even bother to give me a single compliment.

Mia was sleeping beside me and I was watching her sleep, her eyes were closed and her lips were a little parted. Her black hairs were scattered all around her face, I loved her hairs they were so long and silky.

I had an urge to touch her hair and feel the texture of them, I carefully touched a lock of her hair, they were so silky soft. I leaned and smelled her hair, they smelled like apricots. I had seen her shampoo in the bath earlier. It was apricot, her scrub, face wash, body lotion, and body shampoo were all in apricot. I think she is obsessed with apricots, and that's why she smelled like apricots, a little sweet and a little tangy.

I caressed her face carefully tracing my fingers on her face, she was beautiful, she was exquisite and she was all mine. She would have kicked me from the bed if she would have been awake right now. Last night I had convinced her with great difficulty that I would stick to my side of the bed and would not disturb her sleep or try to cuddle her.

I couldn't even think of losing her, in a matter of a few weeks she had possessed my mind and every thought of mine. Even imagining her with anyone else was enough to kill me, what if she asks me for divorce? What if she says she didn't want to stay with me?

I can't part with her now, she was mine though just in the name right now but that was enough for me. And I couldn't let her go now, it won't matter if I had to use force on her to keep her with me. I will do that but I couldn't let her go. It was not possible, you marry Waleed Kamal, you fucking stay married.

I never used to share my things and she was not just a thing she was my wife, I could claw the men's eyes out who would even dare to look at her then how was it possible that I would let her go to be with another man.

No, this was not happening, she had to stay with me no matter if she loved me or not but she still has to stay with me.

I placed a soft peck on her lips, she stirred in sleep but thankfully didn't wake up.

"You are mine Mia, and I will make sure you always remain mine", I whispered and laid on the bed beside her a wall of pillows separating us both, I smiled, if I decided to take her this wall won't help her, hopefully, she knows that.

I went to my office the next day, I couldn't risk taking any more days off, there were too many projects lined up and I had to be there.

Mia was a little distant from me the entire week, she would speak to me but it felt like she was going through some internal struggle. I didn't want to push her for anything, so I just let her be, hoping she would come around and be normal again, but it proved to be my mistake.

She was a stubborn girl and she won't give me anything without a fight, I had to fight her even for an

inch.
