AUTHOR'S POV

It's 2 AM of the morning and she is wide awake staring at the ceiling of the bedroom. The worries of her papa getting know about her marriage is not letting her sleep. Her brain is working on making excuses for not attending the party. Her body got goosebumps when she felt Ivan's grip getting tight around her waist. 

She knows Ivan will take her to party at any cost no matter what and there will be media. It's not like her papa will judge her, her papa hae never been judgemental about her, he will never say or think bad about her after knowing her marriage with Ivan, he will understand her but still she is just afraid of her papa's reaction. Many people suggested her papa to not send his daughter to New York City for her study and get her married to any man but her papa just used to slide their suggestions away and used to say " his daughter isn't like all other girls... His daughter is his pride, his respect and she will never do anything which will make her father disheartened. " 

She changed her position and faced sleeping figure of Ivan. He is sleeping on his stomach, without a tee or any shirt. His hair has covered his forehead. She nervously gulped her saliva down. Her heart is beating loudly and fastly.

" Ivan." She mumbled but got no response from his side.

" Ivan." She said again but again the same result. She bites her lower lip thinking about something and nervously she raised her hand which is already sweaty. Placing her hand on his hard bicep she said -

" Ivan." And found his Adam apple bobbed up and down. 

" Stop touching me, Ember. If you don't want me to take you right at this very moment." He murmured in his midnight husky tone which can make any girl go on their knees just to please him but Ember isn't present in those girls. Understanding his meaning she immediately pulled her hand back.

" say." He mumbled.

" I want to ask something." She murmured in her fear.

" Hmm... Go on." He replied without opening his eyes.

" Is it necessary to attend the party?." She asked and he opened his eyes.

" Yes." He replied.

" Can't you attend without me?." She asked looking at him.

" No... You will attend the party with me. Why?, What's wrong?." He asked.

" I don't want to be there." She answered.

" Any specific reason?." He inquired and an idea popped up in her mind.

" I am still on my period." She answered and he raised his one eyebrow in suspicion.

" It's not a big deal. I bet you have done many things while going through your periods." He replied.

" But now it hurts. My abdomen hurts, my waist hurts, and my legs?. Don't ask about my leg, when I walk a lot then it feels like my thighs have been cut off." She hurriedly answered. Trying her best to make any excuse so that he leaves for the party without her.

" Don't worry, we will leave the party early and I will be there too. Don't worry Ember. I wouldn't let you roam anywhere, you have to be with me. I will arrange a seat for you and can carry you when you will start feeling pain." He answered and hearing him she looked at him with disbelief.

" No, what if I ruin my dress. It will be traumatising." She asked and he chuckled.

" Stop making stupid excuses, I have never seen any stains anywhere in these 4 days." He answered making her cheek heat up.

" Now sleep. Stop running your mind. " He said and closed his eyes.

" There will be media." She said and he can sense fear in her tone. He again opened his eyes.

" Tell me the real thing. What is running in your little brain?." He asked.

" My papa has a lot of trust in me. People will say about him and me when they will get to know about me marrying a rich person, He will be disappointed and I don't want to disappoint him. Please don't take me with you." She replied and her tone was filled up with sadness.

" He... He told me to achieve my dreams and come back with Respect but the news about our marriage will break him. " She replied not looking at him.

••" For poor people like us our RESPECT is everything."  her voice echoed in his head.

" My papa believed in me when everyone was against my dreams." She said.

" So you want to hide this marriage?." He asked.

" It's not like we are a normal couple. One day we will leave each other when..when you will be bored of me. Maybe after 10 days." She replied making him chuckle lowly. " You can attend the party with that woman. What was her name.. Yeah. Tyler. Sorry, Ms Tyler Jonas. She is prettier than me, she is confident... You can make her your partner." She said and he looked at her. She is giving him a suggestion of attending the party with someone else and thinking of herself as less pretty and less confident.

" BUT SHE IS NOT MY WIFE." He said which make her lift her gaze and look at him.

" But this is not a real marriage. You married me because of your.. your. Lust." She said making him silent.

" I don't care, why the hell I married you?. I only care about our marriage. Yes. Yes, You are my mistress in the bedroom, in this penthouse but for the world, you are my wife and I will show you to all world." He said and her heart clenched painfully realising that she is nothing just a mistress. A tension remover.

" My papa will never trust me. I haven't talked to him for the last 1 week. And this sudden news will break his heart." She replied.

" Nothing will happen. Why would he feel low by knowing about his daughter's marriage?. Has he forgotten he was in jail and getting beaten by police officers? Doesn't it make him feel low?." He said in frustration and anger and hearing this her heart tightened. Her nose turned purplish and her eyes got teary.
