Chapter 69: Chapter 69

Author's pov

Roman & Rion just woke up from their sleep. Letting out some cute yawning they rubbed their eyes only to be grabbed by their mother suddenly. They looked at her curiously and wondered why she is looking so happy.

" Happy Birthday, my baby bears," Orni wished them excitedly kissing their forehead.

Roman & Rion's faces lit with excitement. They didn't know today is their birthday.

" You are 4 years old. I can't believe it. My baby bears are growing so fast," Orni said pulling them into her lap.

Orni had a lot of planning for her kids' birthday. She wanted to celebrate it with her parents. She wanted to arrange a big party for them but VR ruined her whole planning. Since she is locked inside this house she had to give up on her planning. But, to make them happy she decided to do with whatever she had. She thought to cook their favourite foods and bake their favourite chocolate cake.

" Mumma, did you bring presents for us?" Roman asked curiously.

Orni questioned tickling their belly," What do you want?"

" A daddy," they said in unison and the smile from Orni's face vanished in the air.

She continued staring at them who were waiting for an answer from her. Their innocent eyes were looking hopeful that she will listen to them. Suddenly, she remembered her father who told her that he will marry her off once she finishes her studies. Looking at Roman & Rion's faces she decided that she will marry the person whom her father will choose.

Not for a single time she think about VR. She didn't even think that she is imprisoned here. Because she doesn't even consider VR's existence at all. She believes that today or tomorrow she will be reunited with her parents.

" Mumma, why can't he be our Daddy? Why don't you like him?" Rion asked pointing his finger at the door.

Turning behind, Orni noticed that VR was standing at the door in a bear costume. He was holding placards where it was written ' Happy Birthday '. Orni mood got sourer looking at him.

" Some people don't deserve to be a father and he is one of them," Orni told them and various types of questions started roaming in their minds.

Before they could ask her anything further, she promised them," I promise you that on your next birthday I will gift a Daddy to you."

" A daddy like him?" Roman asked pointing his finger at VR whose whole face was clouded with sadness after hearing her words.

Orni answered rolling her eyes at VR," Better than him."

Orni is thinking to marry someone else. This one thought was enough for VR to lose his mind. He was getting furious from inside but didn't show it on his face. He won't allow her into another man's arms. Never. His delusional stubborn brain was still in hope that one day she will accept him back and forget everything.

" Happy Birthday, baby bears," VR wished them smiling but Orni didn't let the kids go near him.

***************************************

The whole day went for Orni celebrating the kids' birthday. Though she did not allow VR near them, he forcefully got close to them showing them what a loving father he is. He gave them a tour of the sea on a luxurious boat. Orni didn't want to go with him but she can't trust him alone with the kids. So, she had to go with him.

In the boat, he tried a lot to talk to her but as usual, Orni didn't even utter a single word to him. He doesn't know how can he expects her to talk to him after whatever he did to her and her family. He tried to manipulate the kids to convince Orni but in front of her scolding, the kids didn't try to disobey her.

It was nighttime and Orni was standing in the washroom in front of the mirror. Looking at her reflection she couldn't control herself from bursting into crying. She misses her family. Her parents. Everything was going good then why did God send VR into her life again? Wondering this question she was shedding tears. Though she tries to act strong and normal in front of VR & her kids, she knows how broken & lonely she was from the inside. She wants to go back to her mother's lap. Hug her and hide in her chest so that VR never finds her again.

After washing her face she came out of the washroom and instantly her brows curled with anger & confusion. Instead of Roman & Rion, VR was half laying on her bed. Shutting the washroom door angrily she marched towards him like a raging bull.

Looking at her questioning eyes VR informed," From this onwards you & I will sleep in this room. After all, we are husband & wife. Our kids will sleep in another room."

Fisting her palms Orni controlled her anger somehow. She was feeling like strangling him when he said that they are husband & wife.

" I know you are angry. But, Angel. Please let me take care of you. I will clear your all doubts about me," VR said genuinely.

Orni didn't answer him. Suddenly, she started leaning toward him like she is going to kiss him. Blinking his eyes with confusion he moved his head backwards. When their lips were just a few inches apart Orni looked at him with rage-filled eyes. VR closed his eyes like a fool while she pulled the pillow under his back. Taking it in her hand she forwarded her legs to leave.

She will just leave the room when VR blocked her path. Before she could understand anything he picked her up in bridal style and took her towards the bed. He laid her down forcefully and laid beside her. Pulling her into his chest he closed his eyes.

" Sleep, Angel. I won't let you leave me again," he whispered in her ear.

After a few futile attempts to remove his large body from her Orni gave up. Having no other choices she kept laying beside him having an irritated expression.

" Angel, do you remember how you used to sleep hiding your face in my chest?" VR asked and as expected Orni ignored his questions.

He asked further," Do you remember...........

Before he could finish his nonsense talking Orni jerked his hands away and closed her eyes to sleep. VR tried to hug her but she placed a pillow between them. She was wondering what's she going to do with this delusional man.

" You will forgive me, Angel. You will," VR whispered before drifting into a deep sleep.

A few hours passed since they laid down on the bed. VR was fast asleep but there was no sleep in Orni eyes. She was getting annoyed by his loud snoring sound. She couldn't bear it anymore and sat back.

" This horse!!" Orni mumbled looking at his face.

Then, she continued staring at his face for some time. He was looking so calm and contented after snatching her peace away. He was looking so innocent in his sleep but Orni knows his true face. She fell into his trap once but she won't repeat it.

" Let's see how far you can go with this delusion that I will forgive you," Orni thought mentally.
