The Replacement (#royals Book 1) by Shikha A (some good books to read TXT) 📗

 

God, what is all eye talking about?

He looks towards me “I will be back in sometime” I nod

 

We finally reached the room. The room is really beautiful. Off white and blue combination matching perfectly.

I sat on the bed and finally took a deep breath god now I can feel how tired I am.

 

“Rani Sa can I help you with something” Panna asked

I thought for a minute and said yes if you can ask someone to get my stuff as I need to take shower and change.

 

Rani Sa your stuff has been shifted here long back and arranged in your closet as well.

The surprise was an understatement but I loved it. Oh Panna you are a lifesaver trust me”

She smiles and said “that’s my job to take care of you”

 

“Still thank you so much, you are so thoughtful,” I said and smiled.

Let me remove this heavy jewelry saying I put my lag on the bed to take out my anklet, It was irritating me it’s so heavy

 

“Let me help you,” said Panna came to me and started helping me.

I hear the footsteps and look up to see Hukum was coming inside. He looks at us and spoke 

“Ekaant (leave)”

Hearing this Panna stood up and nodded towards him and left the room closing the door behind.

 

He came and touch my feet to help me and I instantly pull my leg back and “I told you hukum don’t touch my feel”

“And I also told you, this all is mine and I can do whatever I wish to” he spoke, taking my foot towards him.

 

He removed both the anklets and put them on my bed and I put down my feet and looked towards my hand.

He took my hand and in one shift I was again on his lap. I hold his shoulder to support and look towards him.

 

You are looking Alluring today. And kiss my cheeks. And guess what? Yup I blushed hard

“You also not looking bad yourself hukum” I tease him little

 

“Thank You Rani Sa for your observation. He shot back.

“So now tell me what Dai Jan was talking about” My face pale hearing this.

 

I started playing with his brochure thinking of an idea of how to explain to him “hmm hukum actually ahmmm” I don’t know how to say this god this is so embarrassing.

“I am listening,” he said, narrowing his eyes.

 

“ahmm actually as per the ritual.. we... I mean you and me... I mean we should..” God, what I am saying.

I took a deep breath and said “hukum actually as per our ritual we need to go to the Kul Devi Mandir (temple)”

 

“So what’s the problem with that? We will go once we reach the estate”

He stated matter of fact and I got it, he has no idea what I am talking about.

 

“Well of course we will but ahmm we I mean” I huff in irritation

 

“Rani sa you know you can speak to me anything and everything so don’t hesitate to say”

He gives me some strength. I took a deep breath and said.

 

wecantsleeptoagthertillwevisitkuldevi” yey finally I said it.

I looked up to see his expression and it was blank. Did he even hear what I said?

 

“Now speak again in human language”

“I spoke in human language only,” I said, pouting my lips.

 

“Repeat” now I know he is getting impatient.

“I cleared my throat and said actually as per the rituals we can’t sleep together till we do our Kul Devi Darshan (visit the temple)” I said extremely in a low voice but I know he can hear it.

I looked up and saw the most dangerous expression of his. I gulp my saliva.

 

“What rubbish is? I don’t believe in such rituals. I already understand two days not anymore.” He lashes out nonstop. Well, I was expecting this.

“And hold on, you knew this? And you did not feel it was important to tell me”?

Now he is furious more than before. Do something Shipra fast before this volcano erupts.

 

I hold his face and said “first calm down and listen to me, I knew this but I also got to know this when I went to meet Masa after getting ready for last-minute rituals, And after that, we did not get time only to talk about this, or do you think I would not tell this to you? I ask him...

He closed his eyes and said “whatever I don’t believe in all this bull shit, so don’t even think about me being following all this nonsense” He said, shooting daggers towards me.

 

I bit my lips as I knew it won’t be easy to convince him, As I was still holding his face so I crease his cheeks with my thumb kiss his nose, and said “does anyone told you ever that you look cute when you are angry”

“I am the most dangerous person when I am angry, that's what people say about me, and this tactic won’t work on me darling” My face fell on this flop idea.

 

“Then which tactic will work on you Shivay” I call him by his name, smiling as I know he likes it.

“Not even this,” he said in one go.

 

Think Shipra thinks he is not an easy nut to crack.

“Ok fine let’s do the deal,” I said raising my eyebrow

 

“You have all my ears,” he said with a blank face. I know he is trying to read my face but not that easy darling.

 

“If you agree to follow this Ritual I will grant your three wishes. How about that?" I asked

“Deal is tempting Rani sa but the profit margin is more when I don’t follow”

 

“All the deals not profitable, few are creditable as well” I shot back

“I already have high credit in the market then why I make law profit deal?” he asked a counter-question

 

“Good businessmen always know how to take out their profit in a low-profit deal” I made my point.

He smirks and said “You got the deal Mrs. Shivay Raghuvanshi congratulation”

 

I narrowed my eyes and thought, I hope I don’t have to pay a heavy price for this deal. God, please do remember me in my crisis. Don’t leave your child alone.
