Chapter 27: Chapter 27

The Next Morning

Wearing a pink-colored saree Sanaya went to the kitchen. She was going to cook for Nick today. That's why she woke up early in the morning.

As she went to the kitchen she saw Mrs. Elisa. "Good morning, Sanaya." She said with a smile.

Smiling Sanaya asserted, "Good morning."

"Are you going to cook for little Nick?" Sanaya was looking at the fresh vegetables when Mrs. Elisa asked her. Nodding her head Sanaya replied, "Yes."

"That's great. He might be angry at first because you are his wife, there are chefs for cooking but once he will eat those delicious delicacies cooked by you he will be quiet. I am sure you can cook delicious foods." Mrs. Elisa knew Nick. How he was strict and especially he said that Sanaya must not do any work here, there were servants for that."

Sanaya was a great cook. Though she did not know if Nick has ever tried Indian foods she was going to let him taste Indian foods specially Bengali foods cooked by her.

Nick was working out in the gym when a delicious smell got into his nostrils. "What's this smell?" He got up and slowly he started following the smell.

He sauntered downstairs following the smell. "Little Nick..." As he saw Mrs. Elisa he stood still and his eyes caught on the woman wearing a saree who was cooking and looking beautiful in the morning. Of course, he could see it was his beautiful wife.

"You guys are cooking?" He asked.

"Your wife is cooking for you. I am just helping a little. But I am sure you came here following the delicious smell, didn't you?" Hearing her Nick stared at Sanaya. "I will go and get ready for work." He announced a little louder so Sanaya would look at him.

As Sanaya glared at him, she lowered her eyes. Nick noticed her. "Sanaya?" He called out her name.

When she gawked at him he recited, "Come to my room."

"Me?" She pointed her hand at herself, glancing at him confusedly.

"You are my wife." As he said so she strolled towards Mrs. Elisa, "I will go help him. Can you please..."

"Yes, go ahead. I will take care of the rest." With a smile, Mrs. Elisa let out.

Nick walked upstairs and Sanaya followed him. Who knew Nick would stop walking all of a sudden. Sanaya was just walking without looking at him, only if she would look up she would know that he stopped walking, she would not hit her head with his chest.

"Sorry, I did not mean to..." She said in a low voice, keeping her head lowered.

"It's ok. But... Why ain't you looking at me? May I know?" Leaning a little bit he questioned. As he touched her face Sanaya stared at him, "You are... You are naked."

"What?" Nick looked at himself and chuckled, "I still have my sweatpants on though."

Seeing her silent Nick moved the towel around his neck and asked, "Are you shy?" Sanaya just bobbed her head.

What she heard was Nick's chuckling. Confused she gaped at him, "Why are you laughing?"

"You are cute you know?" Still cackling he pulled her in his arms. Sanaya gasped. Wait, the upper part of his body was naked and he hugged her? It was normal but she could not stop blushing.

Sanaya was about to hug him back when he let her go. Sadly, she could not hug him. "You should change your saree because I had sweat on me." As he declared, Sanaya shook her head, "Ahh, ok"

When Sanaya turned to go to her room to change he held her hand, "You can change in my room too."

"Huh? No, my room is ok." Seeing how she was blushing and getting shy Nick could not help but smile. "Ok, just joking. I know it needs time. After some time you will get used to it. Come with me, I have something to tell you." As Nick stepped into his room Sanaya followed him.

"Take a seat." As he said so Sanaya wandered towards the bed. Then she sat on the bed.

In five seconds when Nick was going to give her something he saw her sitting on the bed. Sanaya got terrified for a moment. The look in his eyes was filled with outrage as if he hated that she sat on his bed. Getting afraid Sanaya got up, "Sorry, I..." But as Nick smiled she was surprised.

"It's ok." He said gently. For the moment she kept her fear suppressed but she did not know why he looked at her like that.

"Here." Nick gave her a debit card. Sanaya looked at the debit card Nick gave her. "Why are you giving me this?" She glanced at him confusedly.

"Buy clothes and all you want and you need. This has enough money, but if you need more then just let me know." He explained.

Sanaya put it on the table, "I don't need it."

"Please take it. I am your husband, so let me do this." As Nick said so she could not say anything. Though she did not like it, she wasn't after his money anyway.

Nick called out a name and a man appeared in front of them.

"This is Aiden. He is your personal bodyguard from now on..." Interrupting him Sanaya questioned him, "Bodyguard? Wait, what is it for? I don't have enemies, I don't need a bodyguard."

"Maybe you do not need but I want that you are always safe. He will be driving you to work if you want to go shopping, take him with you. Anywhere you go take him with you, he is one of the best bodyguards." Nick explained. Sanaya rolled her eyes that were telling him, 'Boy, are you serious?'

"Can I just not..." Cutting her off Nick announced, "Now, you are my wife. The people who want to kill me will be after you too. So I must make sure that nothing happens to you. I can not stay with you all the time but my people can. So you must listen to me."

"Kill? Wait, someone wants to... Ki-kill you?" She was surprised, he had enemies who wanted to take his life?

"Not someone but many people. But nothing to worry about. You just be a good girl and listen to me. Aiden is very professional, he had been protecting me all these years. Now he will be protecting you." As he said so Sanaya looked at Aiden who was standing in front of them, having his hands crossed behind his back and having his eyes straight at the space.

"Ok. But if he is not with you then who will be protecting you?" She asked him, getting worried. O, she did not think of these things. But she could understand that being a business tycoon he would have enemies for sure.

"You don't need to worry about that. I have my men. So you understood what I said?"

"Hmm. I will listen to you." She replied with a smile. "Good." He patted her head then getting up he said, "I am going to get ready then."

"Ahh, I will just go and come back as soon as..." Interrupting him Nick declared, "It's ok. Aiden will help me."

It sounded strange to her though but for the moment she did not express it to them. Sanaya was getting surprised day by day. Wow!!!

"I am his wife, should not I help him? He is... Do they have any secret relationship that I don't know?" Sanaya was pacing back and forth in her room. "Wait, no. What am I thinking of? It can not be. But... Why would Aiden help him to get changed? No, I am his wife so am I not supposed to do it? And if Aiden did helped him all these years... Leave it, it might be nothing. I am thinking too much." She sat on the couch. Taking a deep breath she concluded she would not think too much... Getting changed Sanaya went downstairs.

After a while, Nick went to the breakfast table when Aiden followed behind. It was different than other days. Nick did not see the as usual breakfast on the table. Sanaya and Mrs. Elisa were standing. Sitting on his chair Nick looked at Sanaya then at the plate in front of him.

"What are these?" He asked her.

"Ahh, this is called koraishutir kochuri. And this one is Alur Dam." She answered.

Nodding his head he started eating. Sanaya was observing him, waiting so he could say how it tasted.

As she saw he did not say anything she thought he might like it but then he proved her wrong. "What the hell is this?" He asked angrily all of a sudden.

"Chilli... I... I am so sorry. I..." But Sanaya could not complete her words. Nick threw the plate on the floor angrily. "Drink water." Aiden gave him a glass of water immediately. Sanaya felt bad, she forgot to check there was chili. She added only one chili and it had to be on his plate.

Seeing Nick get up Sanaya told, "Please don't go. I will change this bowl and..." Cutting her off he glanced at Mrs. Elisa. "Tell her never to cook for me again!"

"Please sit. I will tell Philip to cook the usual breakfast for you right away."

"No need. I have lost my appetite." Saying so as he got up Mrs. Elisa looked at Sanaya who was collecting the pieces of the glasses from the floor.

"Sanaya, be careful..." Her finger was cut before Mrs. Elisa could run to her. She ran to her immediately, "Your hand... Get up, someone else will do it."

Nick stopped walking as he heard her finger got cut. Maybe he did not want to but he could not help but turn towards her. His heart wrenched as he saw tears in her eyes, blood in her finger. He was about to run to her but Sanaya let out in a low voice, "Thank you, Mrs. Elisa. I will go to my room then." Without looking at Nick she ran upstairs quickly.

Nick... Stood still, looking at the pieces of the glasses on the floor.

"Maybe I should not say it but... She woke up early in the morning. She said she wanted to cook for her husband. There are chefs for that part but she cooked for her husband. I can understand you don't like to eat oily foods in the morning but I too, saw you eat without complaining that's rare and new to see. When you found the chili and your facial expression changed, did you see she was going to get a glass of water for you? I know I am just a servant but I saw how she was hurt... Anyway, have a good day Sir." Saying so Mrs. Elisa bowed her head and walked to the kitchen.

"Boss..." Aiden uttered.

"Do you wanna say I was wrong?" Nick asked him. Aiden had his eyes lowered. "Fine. I will go and take a look at her." Nick walked upstairs.

Sighing Aiden strolled towards the entrance hall. Indeed, he started changing even though it was just a bit. There had been countless times when he turned himself and damn, he never cared. This time it was his wife. There was to see if he was to stay heartless as always or...
