|Eshan|
Dragging my feet, I somehow ended up at the door of the bedroom. With a click, the door got unlocked, and I pushed the door. Innaya slept in the same position I had left her in. Her face showed frowning lines, and the blanket was kicked aside. Her weird sleeping habits were showing up, but if she kept on doing that, the recovery time of her ankle injury was going to be a lot longer.
That beautiful face of hers showed clear signs of exhaustion even after sleeping for more than four hours. Leaning against the doorframe, I crossed my arms across the chest. Arjun's explanation regarding the whole matter revolved in my head. Though I was angry, I could not help but feel grateful for Arjun's timely intervention.
The last move by Ayesha's mother was not limited to that n.a.k.e.d photo she had taken out, but there were videos ready to be uploaded on the internet. No matter what would have happened today, she was determined to ruin Innaya. The contents of the videos Arjun played were too shameful, and I understood why he did not want Innaya to know.
The woman in those videos which looked like Innaya, or made to look like Innaya was engaged in a deed that would even put those in the a.d.u.l.t industry to shame. And, there was not only a single video but a couple of them with different men but the same content.
Arjun did not explain much after he received a call from someone. He seemed to be in a hurry, so he forwarded me those videos and repeatedly reminded me to delete them after watching. He left after telling me that I should stop searching about the matter because it started with Ayesha's mother, and as she was in jail, this matter could be considered as having reached the end.
The yellow light coming from the night lamp gave Innaya's beautiful face an alluring look. Her long eyelashes fluttered for a moment before she turned her head to the other side.
The small distance between us that appeared to be separated by a deep valley of ploys. Sometimes it was better to let go of the things than letting them destroy our lives. The best option was to hide this from Innaya because once she learned the existence of those videos, she would never be able to recover.
Trauma certain situations left on a human mind could not be erased so easily. Innaya already had her share of psychological issues that haunted her now and then. It would be cruel to push another wave of stress on her.
"Eshan…"
In the dark, silent night of despair which wanted to swallow me whole with the intricate traps the enemy had carefully laid out, a soft whisper of my name grasped at my depressed mind. Following the feather-like voice that had broken through the haze of the uncertainties of mine, I inched closer to the woman who possessed the power to make me feel the comfort of her arms.
The culprit who just managed to break through the dark clouds and caressed my heart softly was still asleep. Innaya seemed to have called my name in her sleep.
This adorable woman!
Getting into the bed, I pulled her soft, supple body in my arms. The familiarity with which Innaya twisted and moved to find the comfortable spot on my chest before settling in caused my breath the quicken with the guilt and remorse. Breathing in the faint lavender smell the pressure on my chest increased.
'Sweetheart, I should not be lying to you… but I don't have a choice. Those videos, they truly are not something that I would let you take a look at… ever. You can blame me how much you want but I won't let this matter reach you ever.'
Caressing those silky locks, I marveled at the way Innaya snuggled close to me. 'My doubts regarding that man were right. Hiring security for you was the best decision I took. Though they failed to protect you when mom came, they did a great job at keeping you away from the prying eyes of that detective.'
I sighed recalling, how the man who met us at the beach turned out to have connections to Ayesha's mother. I was not clear on it, but Carl managed to find out some clue, and given a chance, he would have reached Ayesha's mother. The only thing I was still unaware of was the reason why she wanted to harm Innaya so much.
'I will make sure that those two women will rot in jail for the rest of their lives. They dared to mess with my wife, I'll let them learn the consequences of hurting an innocent. I promise you, I won't let you suffer.' I vowed in my heart.
Innaya pouted in her sleep. My gaze was drawn to those plump lips as if a moth is drawn to fire even after knowing the consequence. Letting her sleep for a while was the best option, but the possessive man inside me who had just gotten to know about the disturbing information did not want to let go. I reached out a thumb to caress the soft skin of her lower lip.
Innaya folded her lips before her mouth opened a bit. The tip of that slippery tongue slipped out, licking her lips, and in the process brushed against the pad of my thumb. Sucking in a cold breath of air, I willed myself to stay still. I did not want to wake her up. The more she slept, the more time I had to sort out my emotions… but my dear wife seemed to have plans of torturing me. She stirred, and her eyebrows furrowed in discomfort.
I did not have a chance to pull back my thumb, but then again, I did not want to. God knows what came over her, but the moment that playful tongue retreated, Innaya's lips ended up wrapping around my thumb.
"Mm… ice-cream…"
Damn it. Why did she have to torture me like this? How did my thumb urn into an ice-cream? Her mischievous tongue circled around my thumb that was held captive by those plump lips. In her sleep, Innaya sucked and slowly nibbled on my thumb which she assumed to be her i
'Exactly what are you dreaming Kitten?'
