Chapter 2 - She betrayed me

Jason POV:

I got up from the bed and looked for my disgusting wife. I didn't sleep the whole night properly listening to her groaning. She was such a disturbance. I should have thrown her on the balcony. If she continues this tonight, I will kick her out of the house and then she will learn to shut her bloody mouth. Her uncle or aunt never come to her rescue, and she has no other way except to bear me.

The last night, I tortured her a lot without showing any mercy. I pity her, but I know she deserves it. I have no guilt for being that rude to her because she needs that treatment to put her in order. I looked at her once. I found my handprints on her cheeks. They got swelling. She wore a light coloured sari from which her belly is visible. Her stomach had a few teeth marks. Her neck had a few red and black streaks. I found her walking with difficulty. I felt to throw her on the bed and take her as the morning coating, but my phone beeped reminding me about an important meeting. I will postpone her morning coating tonight. She will get double in the night. She married me to enjoy the luxurious life as I am rich. I will kill the greed in her by torturing her. What can she do except crying and bearing the punishment? I smiled at her helplessness. She deserves it.

I went to take a shower. My wife arranged hot water, towel, and everything for me. Good, she is a fast learner, or I would have taught her to do these in my style. I took a shower and came out. I found my clothes pressed and kept on the table. She arranged my accessories on another side of the table. My shoes were polished. I got ready and went to the dining hall. I removed the maids from the duty as I want my so-called wife to do everything.

She set the dishes on the table for me to have breakfast. She handed over a cup of coffee with shivering hands. She served the food carefully. She escaped from the punishment by preparing the delicious food. I had the food enjoying the taste. However, I don't go easy on her. I can't forget the past. So, I didn't give breakfast to her and ordered her to do gardening without gloves. Now her hands will be bruised after completing it. Doing the work tonight with that hands makes me happy. Only then, I will allow her to have the food.

The last, I didn't want to torture her that much. However, her stupidity made me to behave like a beast. Every girl in my circle used to come to my bed just with one look. For the first time, I found a girl looking at me disgustingly. The most shocking thing is, that girl is my wife. I lost my temper and became more cruel. It increased her sickening feeling towards me. Is it possible to see love in her eyes for me? Can I ever get her love? Probably not! Whatever why am I thinking like this? I hate her. I married her to take revenge. I should forget all this.

I tried to focus on my work, but still, I remember only her and her innocent face. No, she is not chaste. She can never be innocent as she belongs to that family. No, I shouldn't trust her fake innocent face. I called Maya to distract myself from her thoughts. I went to a hotel with her. Maya lay in bed beside me, and I removed her top. I turned her back to undress her but stopped remembering my marriage. Suddenly I presumed as if my wife was questioning my loyalty. How do I feel, if she betrays me in my absence? That thought made my eyes red with anger.

My body shook with rage, and I gritted my teeth. I will surely kill her if she does so. I can't even imagine it. Then how can she bear if I betray her, in reality? No, I can't do this. I immediately asked Maya to leave. Maya left, and I remembered my wife.

Wait! Did I say, my wife? Am I considering her as my wife? Maybe yes. I remembered my wife. Frankly, she is damn beautiful. Her wide and dark eyes, soft cheeks and lips which resemble rose petals, are adorable. I felt to go home sooner though I don't know why. I reached my home.

I knocked on the door, but she didn't open the door. Is she OK? Does anything happen to her because of me? I hope she is fine. I opened the door with a spare key. I found a guy running from the back door of the kitchen. I ran to catch him, and finally, I caught him.

"Who are you? How did you enter my home?"

"I...I...Sir, your wife called me," he said, and I punched him on his face making his lips bleed. How dare he is to put such blame on my wife?

"What the hell are you talking? Don't dare to blame my wife, or I will kill you, bastard," I said.

"Sir, she is my girlfriend. We thought to elope. But I have no job. So, she said she would get money if she marries you. Then, we both planned to flee and get married. I am sorry, sir. Please leave me," He said and showed me a video in which she is making love to her boyfriend.

I clenched my fist. He escaped from my clutch. So this is the reason because of which, she tried to stay away from me on the first night and asked the time. She married me only for money. I hate her. I am right she is selfish. Every girl is greedy and selfish. As I have money, she married me, though I am a beast. Even if I am kind, she may not marry me, if I don't have this money.

I went to my room and found her sleeping. I touched her forehead and caressed her hairs. I slowly moved my fingers over her lips. I rubbed her belly and then kissed it. She is responding to everything I do. She smiled at my acts. She might be responding to me thinking that it's that person with whom she spent until now. Yesterday, she tried to go away from me and didn't react to me. Today she is smiling and accepting my touch because she is assuming that I am her boyfriend.

Eva POV:

I slept, and suddenly I felt someone caressing my hairs. Then touching my lips. Then moved fingers on my belly and slowly replaced it with lips. I felt that touch is soothing my wounds. I recognised the touch, and a small smile occupied my lips. It's my husband. I felt butterflies in my stomach with his touch. It's true that he had hurt me the last night. However, still, his touch created a new sensation in me. For the first time, I felt this way for someone. I smiled and opened my eyes.

At the same time, I felt massive pain in my stomach. I didn't understand what happened to me. Jason stood in front of me. He shook with anger gritting his teeth. His eyes were fuming at me. His clenched fist showed the veins of his hand indicating the level of his temper. I tried to speak, but he kicked in my stomach. I held my stomach.

"Jason, What happene...." I asked while holding my stomach.

He pulled my hair and slapped me thrice on my cheeks harder. He threw me in the corner of the room on the floor. I sobbed with pain and Jason shouted at me again.

"Stop the nuisance, you roadside bitch. Otherwise, I will throw you out of the house. A whore like you should be on the streets, not in the palace like this. That is the right place for you, and you will find different men whom you can seduce with your body."

His words hurt me more than these injuries. I hugged my knees and bent my head crying, closing my mouth with another hand to silence my sobs. How could he abuse me to this extent? He talked as if I am a characterless girl and a whore. He again caught my hair and pulled it to make me stand.

"Jason, please leave me. At least treat me as a human, if you can't treat me as your wife," I pleaded him.

"Who is he?" Jason asked, shocking me.

"Who? I didn't get you," I said confused with his question.

"Who is he who ran through our back door?"

"What are you talking? I don't understand," I said, trying to know what was he saying.

"Tell me the truth!" Jason asked again.

"Really, I don't understand about whom you are talking," I said sincerely.

"I know well. He is your boyfriend, and you have an affair with him. I saw your porn video in which you are making love to him with love and happiness," Jason said irritating me.

I can't believe his words. What did he say? I know he hates me but how could he put such blame on me? I thought to retort, but I saw the pain in his eyes. It means it's not he who wanted to blame me. Something is wrong. Someone might have plotted against me.

"Jason, please trust me," that's what I can say for now.

I didn't know how to prove my innocence to Jason. Already Jason broke me with his hatred, and I don't know the reason behind his hatred. He left my hair and sat on the bed.

"Why? Why does it always happen to me? Whenever I love someone, either God will take them away, as he did with my parents. Or they will betray me as Maya did. Today I went to a hotel with Maya. But I am unable to betray you and left her. But how can you betray me? I know you have no love for me. But don't you even value our marriage?" Jason said looking at me.

I went near to him.

"Jason, I didn't do anything wrong. But as you were hurt because of me, I am sorry. I didn't betray you, and I can never betray you. Please trust me once and give me a chance. I will be a good wife to you," I said holding his hands and sitting on knees before him.

I know I am innocent. However, I didn't want to argue now because Jason is in pain. Later, I will make him understand my character. He doesn't know anything about me. So he trusted that video. It's ok. I will prove my innocence to him soon.

He looked at me and took away his hands from me. He left the room and walked downstairs. I heard the sound of opening and closing the main door. It means he left home leaving me alone.

Where did he go? Is he going to Maya again? I felt a pain in my heart with that thought. How can I make him trust me? How can I win his love? Can I ever remove his hatred for me? Why does he hate me this much?
