Her Second-Hand Husband! novel Chapter 42

Anika’s PoV

I started walking towards the factory when the sun started to scorch me. My feet struggled to move as I neared the building and I suddenly felt pain all over my body. I saw a beautiful woman at the reception desk and she smiled at me warmly as I approached her.

“Hi, how may I help you?” she asked me.

“Hi, my name is Anika and I am here for a job.” I told her.

“Oh, that’s you. Here is your appointment order. You have to go to the last room on right to meet Mr. Praveen. He will brief you on your job.” She gave me a paper.

“Oh, thank you.” I told her and went to the room she showed me.

“Excuse me, may I come in?” I knocked on the door.

“Yes!” I heard a voice and I went in. I know this man. I saw him at our wedding. He was the one that came along with him to my home on the day of engagement.

“Hi, Anika. What are you doing here? Came with Arjun for a tour?” That guy stood up and invited me in.

“Sorry, I don't remember you well.” I said.

“Oh don't be sorry, I am Praveen. I am Arjun’s friend and a partner in Tinite. Sit down please.” He showed me the chair.

“Nice meeting you. But I am here for this.” I gave him the paper the receptionist gave me. He had a question mark on his face while he got it from me.

“Who gave you this? Where is Arjun?” He asked me confused.

“The receptionist gave me this. Arjun asked me to see the receptionist.” I told him.

“Come with me.” He walked out of the room to the elevator near his room. I went behind him.

We both got into the elevator and he punched the 3rd floor button. He walked out and I followed him to a room that had Arjun’s name on it.

“Ajju, what is this?” He didn't even knock on the door. He just went straight in and threw the appointment order on the table in front of him. I don't understand why he is angry over this.

“Praveen, calm down. She asked me to let her go for a job to help her needy family. I thought of using her in our office. What’s wrong?” Arjun asked him. I don't find anything wrong in it. Why is Praveen making a fuss out of it?

“There is nothing wrong in making her work for you. But it is wrong to appoint her as an attender here. She is your wife,da.” he said. Ok, I am here as an attender. Attender as in?

“Any work that pays you well is good work. Isn’t that right, Anika?” He asked me with his dead eyes looking straight into my soul.

“That is right.” I told him. Well, I truly don't know what else I could say at this point.

“See, she is ok with it. And besides she has prior experience at this job. She will do good. Also, I don't like to bring personal relationships to the workplace. So we are not husband and wife.” He said, looking at me. “Here!” He added after an aching pause.

“Arjun, I don't like it..” Praveen sounded like he was angry but he went out defeated. He knew Arjun cannot be won.

“Go with him, he is the one that will brief you about the job.” Arjun told me with a little smile. He smiles, so there is nothing wrong? Argh, how can I live like this? Without knowing my husband’s real intentions? I ran out to catch Praveen.

I missed the elevator and so I used the stairs to get down. I knocked on the door again of Praveen’s room and went in after his permission.

“What is my job here, Praveen? Um… can I call you that?” I asked him.

“You can. What did you do?” He asked me.

“What?” I asked him confused. I myself don't know what is happening around me and how the hell can I explain to him about anything.

“You did something wrong. He is angry at you. He is not this kind of a person who treats a girl like this. Find out what you did that infuriated him. I tell you, don't get on his bad side. He will go to any extreme to get back at you.” he said that almost scared me to death. I was right, he is angry with me. But what did I do?

“About your work, you need to come an hour earlier than regular work hours from tomorrow. You need to tidy up the workstations on the second floor. You need to supervise the lady that comes to sweep and mop the floor daily. In the morning break, you need to serve people who order beverages and snacks to their table. You will do the same in the afternoon break too. You will leave the factory premises after every daytime labor leaves the building and make sure that the manufactured tinites are moved to quality control.” He said. I can do this job. Like he said, any work that will help me earn money is good work.

“Ok, Thank you.” I told him.

“Come let me show you around.” He told me and we set out of his room for a tour. He showed me a small room where he said I can rest. Not bad, an attender gets a room.

The day was tiring. I didn't get to meet Arjun all day. The work was not so bad. It was just like I worked in my college. Helping people carry on their work. This is a huge factory. The ground floor is for display. The second floor is the laboratory and manufacturing. The third floor is Arjun’s room on one end followed by the quality control. The cafeteria on the other end. I kept walking to the third floor and the second floor all day hoping to at least get a glimpse of him but all in vain. I decided to confront him after we got home.

It was already time and everyone started leaving. Praveen came to me and bid bye. I am now confused as to how to get home. Arjun said he doesn't want anyone here to find out that I am his wife. So will he even take me along in his car? I knocked on his door to clarify or at least get instructions on how to get home by bus or other means.

“Come in!” I heard his voice boom. That metallic voice that I can hear all day.

“Everyone on the second floor left and they moved the tinites to quality control.” I told him.

“Come here, Anika.” He called me. I moved closer to the table and stood in front of him.

“Here.” He showed his lap. Is he really doing this here in his office with the door unlocked?

“Arjun!” A frail whisper left my mouth.

“Come here, Anika.” His voice compelled my feet to move towards him.

He yanked my hand as I neared him and I fell on his lap. He lifted my chin up and captured my lips in his. He kissed me ever so passionately as I fell into his spell and started kissing him back in sync as our lips and tongue started moving to the same tune. He pulled me up and made me sit on the table. He stood between my legs and pulled my pants down. All my mind ordered me to stop him but my body aches for his touches. He rolled my salwar top up to my breast and started kissing my stomach. He dipped his tongue in my navel that made me jump.

I fisted his hair and pulled him up. All the way along he kissed me on all the bruises he made on me in the morning. It was like he was healing my wounded heart and body. He pulled my bra down releasing my bosoms. He gently kneaded them with his hands and rubbed his thumbs on my buds. I was a moaning mess under his strong gaze.

“Arjun!” I tried to stop him but all that were fake tries. I don't want him to stop anytime now. He bent down nuzzling into my neck drizzling wet kisses down to my bosom. He flicked his tongue on one of my nipples that made me drip on my panties. He continued his attack on my bosoms while his other hand freed my underwear.

“Arjun!” I held his hand stopping him as I was shocked to be naked in front of him in his office room.

“Let me pleasure you!” He said , his eyes hooded with lust.

He kissed me on my lips making me stop thinking about anything else. He fumbled his fingers on my clit that made me see stars.

“You are dripping wet down here,” He said, making circles on my clit.

“Yes, I am wet! I am wet for you.” I told him shedding all my humility.

“Oh, yes! You belong to me. Only me.” He said inserting his finger inside me.

“Aahh, stop, Arjun.” I opened my legs more for him. He started it slowly but picked up pace and started pumping faster and faster and I reached a plane where I saw stars inside my closed eyes and felt like my body was floating in space. I came on his fingers in seconds.

“Dress up and wait for me outside the gate.” He said and went into the restroom in his room. Is that it? Why do I feel like I am used? He is my husband and it is nothing wrong, or is it wrong? I did as I was told once again and he picked me up. How can I ask him what did I do wrong when all he does is get intimate whenever we get alone time?
