Xavier's pov:
Naina's father had pushed Naina into that darkness, from where she could neither come nor stay.
He had witnessed the poor girl struggling with everything all alone, especially Aaron and his hate.
He still remembered how much Naina cried on his chest after her heated discussion with her father, she even asked him,
**Am I his real child or he had adopted me,
How can he only think about Aaron and Alex and not about his own daughter, ...**
I was quiet, as I knew her father so well, for him his promise with Mr. William was everything. It wasn't like he didn't love Nandini, he loved his daughter more than his life,
After all, his daughter was the last sign of his beloved wife, but her father was under the heavy debts of Mr. William's favors.
Third person's pov:
After the funeral ceremony of her father which Naina and Aaron had attended in their wedding dress, Aaron left for the mansion with Xavier,
Naina kept standing at her place, staring at the burning pyre of her father. It was Aaron who had given fire to her father's pyre,
Of course, it was Nandini's right as a daughter, but Aaron didn't listen to anyone.
For a month they kept avoiding each other, but after a month they were forced to face each other on the day when Mr. William's lawyers announced Naina as the owner of the Alpharex empire.
Almost every trusted member of Aaron's family was aware of this decision except Aaron...
Aaron was ferocious with the decision, and every trusted member of his clan had witnessed the rage in Aaron's eyes.
He was fuming like a bull, and wasn't ready to accept the will,
It was Xavier who calmed him,
"How could Dad name my and my brother's property in her name..." Aaron asked Xavier,
"Young Master, your father must have some reasons behind his decision, you should go and talk to the lawyer. I am sure he'll explain to you better than us..." Xavier said, patting his back,
Aaron angrily went upstairs to his father's study room to speak with his father's lawyer but unfortunately,
He heard Naina's discussion with their family lawyer about the divorce and the business.
"You have to find some way to free me from this marriage..." Naina said,
"If you will give him the divorce, the entire empire will go out of your hand,
Are you sure you want to do this..." The lawyer asked,
"You are a lawyer and a very old friend of Mr. William,
Can't you find some way to pull me out of this marriage
and the empire will also not go out of my hands..." Naina asked,
"That is not possible Naina, and there is one more condition, if you want to give divorce to Aaron, you have to bear his child and stay with them for approx 10 years..." Hearing the lawyer's words Naina started cursing in her mind
"Was Mr. William in his senses while making his Will? " she asked angrily.
Naina and the lawyer were so engrossed in chat but suddenly got interrupted by a voice, they both turned their faces and witnessed Aaron standing at the door.
Aaron took the entire discussion in the wrong way, without asking anything he started striding toward his room angrily.
"You should go after him and explain to him our discussion, I think he took our discussion, in the wrong way," Lawyer said, in a fatherly manner
She instantly got up and ran after him to explain everything but he had been walking too fast,
"Aaron...
Aaron, please stop...
Aaron, listen to me, let me explain myself to you..." Naina called his name many times but before she stop him,
He closed the door of his room in her face,
She kept banging her palm over his door but he didn't open it. Instead he started throwing hard punches at the punching bag in rage. Of course, he had been imagining his wife's face instead of a bag.
"What's wrong..?" Mac asked,
"He heard my chat with Uncle Anthony when I was asking him to find some loop so I can take divorce from Aaron,
He took my discussion in the wrong way and now he isn't even listening to me..." Naina explained, banging on the door once again,
"Stop Naina! He'll not listen to you at this moment...!" Xavier said,
"Why does this happen to me every time..." She asked but she got no reply from anyone.
One by one everyone left,
In the middle of the night, when Naina witnessed Aaron's room open she stepped into his room.
He was sitting on the couch and playing with the game on the giant Tv,
There was a bowl of fruits was placed beside him,
**What you'll tell him...*
**I don't think you should talk to him at this moment...**
** Damn! Why the heck he is looking so angry to my eyes...**
**Come on Naina, sooner or later you have to talk to him about this matter, why not now... Gather your damn courage and start with a friendly hi** Poor Naina encouraged herself to talk with Aaron,
She told *hi* to angry-looking Aaron to get his attention, but instead, he threw the gaming remote over her, then he threw the chess board at her and that board hit her head badly.
Blood started oozing out of her head, she grabbed her head and looked into his red eyes which were looking like the eyes of bloody-thirsty Dracula,
She had got completely stunned by his behavior.
"What the heck are you doing in my room, you bloody gold digger?
Can't believe you are the daughter of chief,
He died while saving my life and you... You are planning to snatch our property from us...
Soon Aaron started cursing and yelling at her,
He called her disgusting names,
He called her gold digger,
He also blamed Naina for her father's death as well.
He told Naina how much he loathe her
He also had sworn to make her life hell and that was what he did.
In a fit of his hate and Rage, he told Naina to sleep in his bathroom, then poured buckets of water over her face in the morning and made her do all his chores.
The stubborn, hot-headed Aaron made the poor girl his complete slave, and like an i***t to explain to him her intention of divorce, she kept bearing his every torture.
On the other hand, little Alex used to treat her like a queen, they had gotten so close to each other in very less time, that in a month Alex had started calling her mother.
Almost two months had passed, but that stupid, moron and arrogant devil's hate for the poor girl wasn't decreasing. Every day he used to find new ways to bother her, hurt her, and irritated her.
She tried everything to quell his hatred towards her but was only met with abuse from him.
**You gold digger!
You are nothing but the servant of mine and my brother,
You got all this because of my dad,
God knows what magic you had done on him,
I am only bearing your ass in my and my brother's life because of my Dad and Chief,
but once I turn 25,
first thing I'll do is to kick you out of my life and my mansion,
Till then enjoy the opportunities which you have gotten in charity from my Dad...**
He had made his habit of calling her cheap names every day.
At a point, Naina gave up,
she stopped trying to explain herself to Aaron,
she stopped working on their relationship,
She also left the rope of her destiny in the hands of god,
She stopped expecting from Aaron,
Sometimes his words and his hate stung her so deeply
But she never said anything to him, because somewhere she knew that he was also as hurt by their wedding as she was...
She also made the mistake of thinking that time will change her husband and one day Aaron will start loving her, but that was her biggest mistake, with every passing day he even started hating her presence around her.
Sometimes he used to lock her in the washroom,
Sometimes he used to pour drinks over her,
Sometimes he used to lock her on the balcony under the heavy rain,
Sometimes he used to scare her with crazy monster figures and reptiles, and sometimes he forced her to watch scary movies with him.
In front of their clan members, especially Xavier, Aaron always tried to avoid Naina as much as he can,
And in-home held meetings, he used to talk to her in a very friendly and polite manner.
Nobody showed it to Aaron but everyone knew how badly Aaron was treating Naina, neither Naina told anyone to raise a voice for her but sometimes she used to ask god why Mr. William chose her to protect his sons when she couldn't protect herself from Aaron.
