Forcing her
Navya stepped aback to see his dark eyes. She knew her words angered him but it was better than the anger of her aunt and Monty. At least, Atharv won’t burn her or beat her, right? Taking a deep breath she said “Mr. Ahuja I am glad to see that you are very concerned about my injury, but today I can’t go to the hospital. My fiancé is coming for dinner. I need to reach home early. Please try to understand.” Navya looked down instantly the moment she finished speaking.
Atharv’s grip tightened on the steering wheel. Her words were vibrating on his eardrum. The word ‘fiancé’ landed on his heart like a shooting arrow. He found it difficult to breathe as he felt tightness in his chest. He had no idea why he was feeling uneasy to know she was engaged. She was nothing to him. He shouldn’t feel anything for her then why he couldn’t bear this information. His inability to find the reason for his uneasiness increased the anxiety in his heart. Pulling back his eyes from her, he stepped on the accelerator and drove the car at high speed.
Navya didn’t think that Atharv would agree so easily. She looked at the back of the speedily moving car for a while and went inside the hotel. After working for sometimes she came out of the hotel and went to the bus stop to go back home.
When she reached home, she heard the laughter of Monty and Pushpa from outside the door. She trembled slightly in fear to think that Monty already arrived. Pushpa reminded her in the morning to come early and not let Monty wait for her, but she was late despite she came out early from the hotel. Her hands and legs started shaking to think about the consequences. She pushed the iron grill slowly with her shaky hands. Both Monty and Pushpa looked up at her, the moment she entered the room. Pushpa offered a crafty smile at her and said “You come back. Go and freshen up. Monty is waiting for a long time.”
Monty was looking at Navya brazenly, running his hand on his brown dyed hair. He had a vile smile on his face. Navya tried to smile a little to them and then looked down to remove her shoes. Keeping the shoes on the shoe rack, she immediately strode to her room. Under Monty’s scorching gaze, she felt a pricking sensation on her body.
Pushpa was unhappy to see Navya’s behavior towards Monty. Her lips twisted to see the retreating figure of Navya but quickly concealed with a fake smile and said “Monty, why don’t you go to her room and talk privately? I think she is feeling shy to talk in front of me. And don’t forget to tell her that I am going to cook today, so you two spend time as long as you want.”
Monty’s gaze shifted to Pushpa and asked, raising his left eyebrow “Is that so? Then I have to obey your words.”
He then looked at the closed door for a moment and a sinister smile appeared on his face. Ruffling his hair a few times, he stood up and walked to her room. He knocked on the door twice. He cocked his head on one side and waited impatiently, rubbing his neck. A wide smile was never fading away from his face.
The door was pulled open by Navya after few seconds. Monty’s smile froze and eyes opened widely. He straightened his head and looked at Navya without blinking. She was wearing a yellow Patiala suit with a contrast deep pink scarf which perfectly suited her fair skin. She was looking immensely gorgeous and Monty couldn’t tear off his eyes from her for a long time. His gaze roved throughout her body as though he was inspecting every inch of her body. Navya felt uneasy under his piercing gaze. Lowering her head, she pulled the scarf to cover her chest and retreated a few steps. Her breathing quickened and she clasped the edge of the suit tightly. Monty came inside the room and locked the door.
Tanvi, who was busy painting her nails, sitting in the dining area, came running towards Pushpa and said with a smile “Mummy, you are genius. Now Navya can’t run away from Monty and tonight Monty is not going to leave her.” Both mother and daughter giggled happily.
Panicked, Navya instantly looked up at him and asked “Why did you lock the door?”
Monty turned his head to look at her and said hoarsely “I don’t want anyone to disturb us. I want to spend some time alone with you.”
Navya gasped and continued retreating her steps. She was looking at him in horror. Monty approached her slowly, smiling vilely, and said “You are looking so beautiful. I can’t resist myself and I don’t want to.”
“What do you mean?”
Navya was terrified and her whole body was shaking. Her heart was beating very fast and her breathing became shallow. She sensed that his motive was not good. If he did anything to her then no one would come to help her. Horrified, she looked at the door. Anyhow she must escape from this room; otherwise, Monty won’t leave her.
Just then she heard Monty saying “Pushpa Chachi said you don’t need to cook today, so we have enough time before dinner.”
He suddenly grasped her arm and pulled her into his embrace. Panicked, Navya stiffened her body and pleaded in a low voice “Monty, please leave me.”
Monty looked down at her, who was cowering into his embrace. He found Navya’s nature very cute. He chuckled and said “You are my fiancée. Why are you scared of me? Once we get married you will be always in my arms. Then why do you feel uncomfortable?”
With that, he lowered his head to kiss her. Navya immediately turned her head and the kiss landed on her left cheek. Closing her eyes, she said shakily “Please, wait until marriage.” Tears started falling down drop by drop from her eyes.
He hugged her tighter and said hoarsely “I can’t. Right now I don’t want to suppress my feelings. Do you know every night I fantasize about you in my bed? Now allow me to love you.”
With that, he pulled her scarf away and threw it down on the floor. Panicked, Navya tried to push him but he grabbed her both hands tightly. Navya cried out in pain, but Monty didn’t pay any attention to her and didn’t see that her hand was injured. His gaze was filled with lust and at that very moment, he just wanted to have Navya anyhow. He pressed her down on the bed and started kissing her neck. Navya struggled to set free but Monty was pinning down her hands very firmly above her head and his whole body was on her top. Tears were seeping from her eyes uncontrollably and wailing in pain. “Please Monty leave me for God’s sake.”
His hands started roaming around her body and rested on her chest. Shocked and horrified, Navya stopped crying instantly and slapped him tightly.
Monty, who was aggressively pressing her down, stopped his action instantly. Furrowing his eyebrows, he looked down at her in disbelieve. His hand instinctively touched his cheek where the slap landed and rubbed, feeling slight itchiness.
Navya got the chance to push him away and got up from the bed immediately. She rushed out of the room opening the door. Tanvi and Pushpa, who were enjoying hearing Navya’s screaming, sitting on the sofa, looked at her in shock. They didn’t think that she could escape from Monty’s grip tonight.
Navya came running there and kneeled down in front of Pushpa, saying “Chachi, please I don’t want to get married Monty. Please save me. I don’t like him.”
Infuriated, Pushpa stood up instantaneously and snapped “What did you say?” Her face turned red in anger and she was shooting a stern glare at Navya.
Tanvi also stood up and looked down at her. Her face turned pale in horror to think of the consequences. Monty might be very angry and she didn’t know what action he would take. Diagonally her eye caught the glimpse of Monty’s tall figure and she slowly turned her head to look, only to meet the bloodshot eyes of Monty. Horrified, Tanvi’s eyes widened and she stepped back. Holding Pushpa’s arm, she called her in a low voice “Mummy…”
