ROWAN : that's the problem with you low-class people. If I am giving you a chance to open your bloody mouth, then that doesn't mean that you can speak to me the way you want to. Don't try to be my wife. Furthermore, don't raise your eyes, these should always be towards the floor, got it??
She was looking down when, after sporadically, she mumbled softly, "if I am a middle-class girl and a gold digger, then leave me. I will set you free from this unwanted marriage. I will sign the divorce paper wherever you want me to."
Her boldness hurt his male ego, so he fired back," I will decide for you, not even you yourself can do anything without my permission. I will decide when to divorce you or not. There will be no right of you in this marriage. Understood?? "
Saying so, he lifted her in his arms bridal style and threw her in his jeep, while she was only remembering his words for her.
Her heart wanted to cry, and her soul was feeling so emotional, so suffocating while looking at her husband who was once her crush. Who knew that her crush will make her life a living hell? That he will haunt her nights.
After an hour of driving they reached home, sapphire cane out of the jeep and looked ahead, Catherine was standing there waiting for her. She holds her hand and asked her while crying," where were you?"
Sapphire looked back at rowan and replied, "I am alive, isn't it enough?"
Rowan temper raised, hearing her blunt reply. He held her palm tightly and dragged her inside, saying" enough, come, dad wants to meet you."
**sapphire POV**
I was feeling like a doll who was being dragged by a giant body which belongs to my husband. I can't even say no to him. Now I am preparing myself to lie. Because I can't make him upset the man who gave me shelter after my mother.
As soon as we enter in papas room, rowan made me stand in front of papa. As I reached his bed, he opened his eyes and caressed my hair lovingly. He showed me that affection which I wanted At that moment. I hugged him tightly and started crying loudly.
Sapphire : why did you do this? Why are you not taking care of yourself? What if something happened to you?? "
Michael : I am fine, child, don't cry. Come on, give me a smile.
Sapphire : I can't even live without you in this house, papa. Please don't leave me, please.
(she expressed her emotions, her sorrow)
Michael : nothing will happen to me. You know I am the fittest old man of this country.
Saying so he kissed her forehead making her giggle.
**sapphire POV ends**
Her giggles were so melodious to rowans ears, but he was ignorant to it. She has shine in her eyes, which is always missing when she is with him.
Michael : dear, where were you last night? I was asking about you and... "
Sapphire : nothing, papa. As I am new to this city, so I was lost. That's why I couldn't come...
Rowan looked at her with amazement as he never expected her to be like this who will save him even after his wrongdoings. She will hide such crucial things from his father.
Before Michael can say anything else, Natasha knocked on the door, rolling her eyes," hey girl. You are here, go and set the table for lunch, we have appointments in the parlor. So hurry and serve the food".
It took sapphire a while to understand that Natasha aunty is going out and leaving her husband in bed. She won't be able to do so. Still, she has no say in all this so spoke, "ok aunty I will serve it now".
As soon as she said yes and went out, rowan was getting mad...
**rowan's POV**
Damn this girl!! My so-called bloody wife. Can't she say no to her? How can she cook, when she herself has just arrived from hospital? Now she is doing all this. Nonsense...
I am done with her drama to be a good daughter-in-law. She will be facing hell. Even I can't show more sympathy to her, she will try to be my wife again...

After making food she took the food trolley to Michael room and knocked his door "may I come in papa?".
Michael : yes, yes you can, dear.
Sapphire : papa, I brought lunch for you. It's time for your medicine.
Michael : are you done with your lunch??
Sapphire : yes, i...I will eat later... Papa
Michael : sapphire, everything is fine, my child? Asking this, he patted her head.
Sapphire : yes, papa, everything is fine. Don't worry.
Michael : you seem weak, dear. You will eat here with me now come and sit.
Her eyes become wide open, and she told him nervously," no... No, papa, I will eat later".
Michael : why? Don't you want to sit with me and eat with your father?
Sapphire : papa, i...I can't break the rules of this family.
Michael : which rules?
Sapphire : I can eat only after rowan's lunch, which he will leave for me.
Michael : what rubbish? Are you living in the past or what? This is a modern era. You don't need to obey this rule.
Sapphire : but rowan, he won't like it if he comes to know about this. He has forbid me to eat before him.
Michael :(he noticed something on her cheek) sapphire, what is this on your cheek?
Sapphire : ohh, it's nothing, papa.
Michael : what is there on your neck? Sapphire did...
Sapphire : i... I grabbed my neck because.... I was finding a perfect lie, but couldn't...
