His Detested Wife Seven | Enchanting
It's strange when you have to live with someone you hate but she looks like she's out of a fairytale book.For a second it seemed like I'll fall in love with that smile but just the next moment I remembered that I detested her. "I've informed the cable guy and you'll get your Tom and Jerry, so don't bother.", She said smoothly, definitely happy that I, Neil Jason Parker, of all people complemented her." Yeah. ", I said and got up from the bed as she walked out of the room towards the kitchen. Smiling away.I too followed her and was delighted to find pizzas on the dining table! " You bought them for dinner? ", I asked her. " Yes.. Like them? ", she asked. " Yes! Definitely!! ", I said and sat at the dinning table to eat. I think that's the best thing I have done after coming to India. It wasn't long before I had eaten my pizza and Akansha was still struggling with the third piece of hers. " I give up..! ", she said at last after having the very last piece. She then looked at
His Detested Wife Eight | Effects of A Rose
It was ten in the morning when we set out.I wore a casual white t shirt with a red jacket over it and denims, Akanksha had picked a satin off white shirt with black denims.We sat in the car.The plan was made.First we were visiting the Victoria Memorial to remember how awesome the British are (It's sarcastic by the way). Then for lunch we were visiting a mall and after that we would go for a boat ride, and then back home..! A perfect day!It wasn't long before we stood in front of the magnificent monument made of white marble. Ah! I love British architecture so much! At the entry gates there were two lions sculpered on both sides, the ticket booking counter on one corner.Akanksha asked me to stand as she went to get the entry tickets. I watched her go.There was something distinct about her.People weren't wrong when they spoke of Miss Goenka having an undeniable charm. She, the owner of a billion dollars company, stood in the line for tickets. I drew in a deep breath. It was a
His Detested Wife Nine | To Stop A Moment
We were at the food court. I was busy eating my burger when I suddenly noticed Akanksha staring at me, while eating. She had been staring all along, ever since I presented the rose to her.I looked her in the eye and she immediately looked away. I gulped down the last bite of my burger and then asked," Am I looking odd or something? Why are you are staring at me?"" No.. No, not at all. You look perfect. ", she said, immediately looking down, blushing slightly.She was definitely taking that rose thing in the wrong way. I quietly pulled my chair right beside her, picking up my glass of coke. I reduced my voice to a whisper, " I know what you are thinking."She immediately looked at me, now on her side."Look Akansha, I guess you are taking this whole rose thing wrong. I did not give it to you because I'm in love or anything between us has changed. She asked who made my life better, and literally you did it.. I mean by getting English channels on the television, I mean. It's not rom
His Detested Wife Ten | Visiting Her
I regret doing several things in my life.. One if them being waking her up because mosquitoes were biting me."Neil Jason Parker, gimme a break, okay?! I am tired and I don't care if mosquitoes bite you. Anyways you think you are as hot as a vampire, so maybe strike a friendship with them!", She shouted irritably and then went back to sleep.I looked at her awkwardly before I left.The Hundred and Fifty Shades of Akanksha Goenka. Nevertheless, next morning she was back to normal (if she wouldn't have been back to normal, it wouldn't matter to me, anyway haha). After bolting down my breakfast and watching Game Of Thrones, I realized how bored I was with my life. I was in this huge apartment, alone, with an Oxford degree doing nothing significant.I immediately sat up on the sofa and decided to go to the head office of Goenka Industries, Calcutta.I wore my clothes, a leather jacket on my white t - shirt and jeans. I knew it was warm outside and I'll look like an idiot, but that was t
His Detested Wife Eleven | A Question
We were back home. It was around nine. She looked really fatigued with the day's events. I wasn't exactly tired. Unlike Nerd Goenka I had always been much for active in travelling and partying.She went directly into her room throwing her handbag on the floor. I had realised that Akanksha's mood would really go from bad to worse when she was tired. Like a good boy, I picked it up and placed on the sofa." Are you fine? ", I asked as I walked in, she was lying on the bed still in those clothes." Yes.. Yes I'm fine. It seems like I did too much work today. Could you just get me some water? ", she asked.I immediately got some water in a glass and handed it to her.She sat up, heaving a sigh, and sipped on the water." Thank you so much. ", she said looking at me gratefully." You are welcome. ", I said with a subtle smile and turned to leave."You look handsome when you smile.", She said handing the glass back to me, "Instead of looking like an angry goblin all the time you should smi
His Detested Wife Twelve | Her Answer
" Because..", she begun,She cleared her throat looking straight into my eyes."I am not entitled to answer you!", She said abruptly and stood up. I immediately walked up to her and pulled her by her arm. She bumped onto my tough physic."You will answer me.", I said strongly.Tears started streaming down her eyes as she tried to move away."You want to know, right?! Then listen.", She said pulling the neck of my t - shirt."Mr. Neil Parker. The hot and stunning boyfriend of a girl who looked like a complete pig! I mean are you freaking blind?! I hated your closeness with Rosaline. And yes! I had a crush on you but I did not know that I'd fall for you!", She said and paused. She gulped, looking down and continued as I felt her moist breath on my chest,"You remember that night?", She looked up, with teary eyes, looking straight into my eyes, "The farewell party? Yes, you got drunk in the party! I did not scheme or plan anything! It was you who walked up to me. You yanked me by my a
His Detested Wife Thirteen | The News
We were soon in the office and I was allotted a cabin. It was right beside Akanksha's. The name Neil Parker, Assistant Managing Directed, engraved on the door.I sat back onto the recliner, comfortably."You like it, sir?", Akanksha asked smiling at me."I love it, Ugly ducking.", I said flashing her my annoying smile."Huh! Goblins are uglier anyways.", She replied with her 'oh so smart' smile. I sat up."Why can't you keep your hair open?", I asked sighing, looking at her neatly pony tailed hair."Oh God, Mr. Parker I am at office. This is not your park for romance..", She said, smiling amused, "You are such a kid sometimes.""Keeping the kid in me alive. Always.", I said proudly."Sure.", She said, with a beautiful smile.She turned and left.I sat there thinking about her, not that I was missing her, not yet. But her behaviour this morning was a little strange. I had to find out.. After all I had read the whole Sherlock Holmes series - I must have learnt something.But well, at th
His Detested Wife Fourteen | Saving Her
I ran out hastily, my heart thumping loudly in my chest. By the Grace of God, there was a yellow taxi waiting. The Goenka Industries was not at much of a distance from the airport. I was there soon to find a huge crowd in front of the smoky building.I ran.. The Fire brigade had just come but they hadn't gone in, still trying to extinguish the fire from outside.I pushed through the sea of people and moved to the front. I met a familiar face, Akansha's assistant. I asked her if Akansha had come out," No Sir, not yet.. ", she continued with something more but well, I being a superhero as I considered myself, wasn't going to listen to anything extra so I decided to take matters in my own hands. There were fire brigade people guarding and not letting anyone go in. There was a "do not enter" tape placed like a boundary. I crawled in from below it. And without turning back, I ran into the building.. The fire was huge and the whole building seemed to be affected by it.There was a huge eff

His Detested Wife Sixty Nine | Neil's Secret
Neil's Point Of View :For moments silence hung.I was expecting the death reaper to finally show up.But nothing of that sort happened. No death reapers.And then, I heard another gun shot through the deafening heart beat of mine.Akanksha held Rehan's arm tightly, upwards. Two bullets had pierced through my Mercedez, out of the car. The man with a gun on my chest was just about to change his position when I caught hold of his wrist. I immediately twisted it with all my might. I heard him groan. Snatching the gun from him and shot him instantly. I pointed it at Rehan's temple then. "Looks like the tables have turned, bestie.", I said feeling a huge amount of relief.I heard him clench his jaws, annoyed at the turn of events.He released the gun he held as it fell on the floor of the car."Parker, you have no idea about the trouble you are inviting.", He stated coldly."Don't give me a lecture about my well being, buddy. I am doing just fine killing you off.", I said as he held his
His Detested Wife Sixty Eight | Trapped
Neil's Point Of View : All three of us sat down at our table. Ready to enjoy. Akanksha looked at absolute peace. She was happier than ever. I knew it.We sat back and ordered food.I pulled out my phone to check some mails while Akanksha busied herself with Nesha, asking her about her homework and teachers.Leaving the underworld was not as easy as it had seemed. Although I had not mentioned that to Akanksha yet. If she knew the depth of the situation she would probably panic - and I did not want that to happen anymore. Raghu had been sending me updates about Rehan.Rehan was my rival. When the whole mafia dealing had started with Basu, I had been introduced to several aspects of the underworld. One of them was definitely the rivalry. Rehan was from another gang ready to do everything possible under the sun just to get me dead. And to get that threat off even if you walked out of the Mafia-Verse was impossible.I forced a smile and sipped on my mojito. Nesha was talking about some
His Detested Wife Sixty Seven | Happy Endings?
Akanksha's Point of View :Almost a week passed by, without much chaos.I had returned to my post as the CEO of my company and Neil had promised to quit all his illegal business and switch completely to the legal bit.Raghu and Sarah had of course kept to their underworld affair. Dad had returned to London.And, Nesha had finally gone back to school, much to my mental peace.I sat back on my recliner. The evening was setting in outside the large french windows of my office.What a mess our lives had been for the last few years! I shut my eyes, drawing in a deep breath when my phone buzzed. I picked it up from the desk without even checking the name."Hmm?""How is my McQueen doing?", It was him, asking in the most Neil like tone possible."Your McQueen is chilling, McDumbo.", I said grinning as I spoke."Nesha is back home by now.. right?", He asked.I looked at the wall clock of the cabin."Yes.. obviously. She reached home three hours back.", I said sitting up."Is everything okay,
His Detested Wife Sixty Six | Always - Forever
Akansha's Point Of ViewNeil immediately became alert at the sound."I'll check.", Raghu said as he walked out of the room slowly.Neil immediately lifted Nesha in his arms and looked around for a way to escape.There was none.I gulped nervously as I stood up.Raghu returned after a while grinning."What happened man?", Neil asked."Tony Stark, it's your acquaintance.", He said as Neil raised his brow."Neil Parker.", I instantly knew the voice as I froze.Nesha looked at me in confusion.The man who walked in was smiling, immediately his smile gave way to a shocked expression."Dad..", I mumbled nervously."Akansha.", His voice was steady.I looked at Neil.He was smiling at me.My dad looked down at Nesha who was giving her signature confused look that she had inherited from Neil."Now who are you?", She sounded almost annoyed as she crossed her hands in front of her, eyeing Dad.Dad looked back at Neil who was standing and looking around knowing everything.Sarah signalled Raghu a
His Detested Wife Sixty Five | The Not So Avengers
Akansha's Point Of View°°°We had finally reached a farm house kind of a place. Neil pulled me in with him. He was bleeding profusely and so was I but that did not matter more than saving our lives.We barged into the house as Neil immediately shut the door behind us. "Bring Mommy!", I knew exactly who was it. There was a thump of something being thrown onto the floor."You daughter is just like you.", Neil said tapping my shoulder.I looked at him with narrowed eyes."She's your daughter too.", I said as he smirked.Our eyes locked.His eyes were numb, there was silence but he spoke so much through his eyes.We stared, as if time had stopped.There was another loud thump.We immediately snapped out of the trance."I guess we should go otherwise she's gonna wreck the whole house.", He said as I nodded, holding his hand."Someone's being too romantic.", He said as we started walking towards the room.I looked at Neil and smiled.Something never change."Nesha.. look listen—""I want

Akansha's Point Of View••I stepped back into the building to find Raghu running out."Akansha? Come on.. I'll have to—""Where's Neil?", I asked."He.. he's okay. He's told me to take you.", He said as if unsure.I knew he was lying.I gulped."Take Nesha and leave.", I said."But—""Just do what I say.", This was a command. He was taken aback for a moment as he immediately nodded and walked down to the car.I looked down at the ground once."Tell her that I'll bring her Neil back.", I turned and told Raghu.He nodded."I will.", He said with a pained smile."Take care, Akansha.", He said before turning back to the car.I immediately ran back into the building."And you thought you'll get out of this Neil?", The man spoke as I froze. I shut my eyes.He was caught.No Akansha.. you can't give up...I immediately rushed to the door, soundlessly. Tip toeing.I stood by the door to find Neil look up at Rehan hatefully. He was tied to the same chair where Nesha had been sitting. "You

I ran back home.I had to reach them on time.Akansha's Point Of View°°°I slowly opened my eyes. My hands and mouth was tied. It had been quite sudden. After Neil had left two men had suddenly entered the house using a window. I had no idea how that happened but whatever it was I was scared. I tried to throw something at them but it was to no avail. Someone had used chloroform from behind.My head ached."Do you really think Parker will come?", One man asked another.It was a dark and damp room. I was sitting on the floor."He will. I know him. He's one emotional fool.", The other man replied.I looked around.These two men stood exactly in front of me. Their backs towards me."I want a chocolate!"I froze.It was Nesha's voice. I started struggling, trying to free myself. They had my daughter here!"Get this kid a chocolate.", The man who had spoken second said."But—""Do it.", The man said coldly."So, tell me, what's your name?""Nesha Goenka Parker.", Nesha replied as I struggl
His Detested Wife Sixty Two | The Phone Call
"Neil.. wake up.", Akansha whispered. I could feel her breath on my bare chest."I don't want to.", I replied turning away digging my face inside another pillow beside me. She slapped me on my shoulder."Get up.", She said giggling.I looked down at her. "You look like an angel, did I ever mention that?", I asked with a smile."Complements won't help. Get up. I'm sure you wouldn't want me to remove this blanket when the door is open. You know your daughter.", She said giggling. It seemed like she was laughing from within.I smiled at her."Wear you clothes, Mr. Parker and then kindly shut the door so that I can wear mine. Your clothes are beside you.", She said as I sighed."You know I'm still you boss.""At work, sir. The whole world knows that the wife rules in the house.", She said sliding up to my face. Her hair fell beside my face."You know I was not lying when I said you looked like an angel.", I said, brushing her brown hair softly."I know.", She whispered before kissing m
His Detested Wife Sixty One | Stay
Akansha moved away. It was instantaneous and I had well expected it. "You are what?", This time her whisper was that of unsurity. "I'm a Mafia. A Gangster.", I turned towards her and said."Neil, but what about Imperium? What-what is it then?", She asked, almost pleading that I should say that I'm lying."It is, what you call a way, to hide my actual occupation.", I replied, I could see the disbelief in her eyes.The King of The Underworld was nothing to be proud of. Especially if that man was your husband. "You–you killed all those people?", She asked softly.I nodded, feeling guilt surge through my being."How could you, Neil? How–""I told you that you shouldn't know it–""Shut up!", She screamed standing up."You are a freaking murderer, assasin, drug addict, terrorist, everything! And you sir, are telling me that I shouldn't know it!", She was shouting by this time."I'm.. I'm sorry..", I whispered under my breath."No! Wait, you think I shouldn't know that the man I live with
