Three days have passed in the blink of an eye. Everything is so pleasant I felt scared it might be a dream. Austin has been treating me how he used to be back in the mansion. Riya is surprising me with her cooking skills in every meal. Of course, I and brother Zhang are pretty busy every night with our sneaking plans which never succeed.
After having my dinner I feel a bit ticklish of my hands doing something crazy, in the thought of that I hid Austin's phone during our meal successfully just to my surprise it was my phone. As soon as I turned on my phone, it was filled with multiple messages and a lot of calls from Muhan and Maggie, also some of them are from my parents. I hurriedly called my dad to get yelled at, by him for turning off my phone. I quickly explained to my dad, who was about to come to S-city, to give a missing report, that I was safe and sound it was just that I lost my phone somewhere it took time to buy a new one and reach out to them.
Later I immediately called Maggie to tell her that I was with Austin and told her about how he is treating me like before, to my surprise Maggie reminded me of the work I agreed on for Muhan's mom's birthday celebrations event. I quickly instructed Maggie on some things to do, firstly to call Denis, Sophia, and Emma and also ping me, once when everyone gathers. It will at least take two days for Denis and Sophia to reach after settling their things; meanwhile, I have to pursue Austin who is not letting me out.
Next, I had to call Muhan and ask for the specifications and theme for the party. In one ring he answered the call and yelled "Where the hell are you?" "How could you just disappear without a word? Do you know I have searched everywhere for you?"
I tried to calm him down "Muhan, listen"
"Now what are you trying to tell me? You just hung up the call and turned off your phone, do you even know how crazy I went thinking something happened to you"
"Huff, Muhan listen" he was not at all trying to listen to me he kept on rambling like an angry old man, left with no choice despite being raising my voice "Muhan J-O-Y C-H-E-N, I am having very less time to listen to your blabbing right now" "Please stop right now and listen to what I am saying"
After a long pause of silence, with a low spirit of voice "Hmm, I am listening"
"Huff, finally" "I am not kidnapped nor something happened to me" "Now tell me, what and how aunty likes her birthday theme would be" "I am sorry for neglecting my work and I know we have very less time to arrange everything" "So please do co-operate with me" Suddenly someone pulled my phone which made me startled and I turned just to confirm my doubt. Austin put the speaker on and glared at me as if he caught me red-handed doing something shouldn't.
"Where are you till now and right now?" Muhan's voice was very desperate like he could jump out of the phone to bring back me to his side; on the other hand, Austin was clenching the phone so tightly as if he wants to smash Muhan's head.
Looking at the strange atmosphere Saanvi immediately said "Muhan, I told you I am fine, I will get back to you bye"
"What do you mean you are fine? Even Denis and Sophia are not aware of where you are. Your parents called Maggie to know your whereabouts, what the hell are you even doing?" He didn't give a chance for Saanvi to speak and added "Just tell me where you are, I will come and fetch you" he commended her which irked Austin very much.
"I don't think my wife needs to report to you her whereabouts when she is with her husband" a cold and familiar voice made Muhan halt for a second and asked, "Why are you with him Saanvi?" Muhan who is screaming over the phone made Saanvi worry about him while Austin was about to open his mouth to say something, she immediately closed his mouth with her hands and shakes her head not to say anything, by taking the phone Saanvi said with a calm voice "Muhan, not to worry" "I am perfectly alright, I will come and meet you after two days" She hung up the call with an uncomfortable face thinking 'She made everyone worry'
"Saanvi Austin Lee" was startled by the name which she used to hear whenever Austin was angry at her.
She said choking her words "Austin, I-I want to go-o"
"What" raising his right eyebrow and pinging her two hands to the wall with his left hand, Austin asked pulling her waist close to him "Can't you wait to meet your childhood sweetheart?" like a tiger pouncing on its prey, he started kissing her wildly and said after releasing her from his lips "Don't dream about going back" saying that he turned his back and walked away.
Saanvi who was dumbfounded by his warning kiss shouted looking at the person who went back to work "Austin hear me out at least"
"Argh" stomping her foot Saanvi muttered "Why is he so difficult to talk, speaking with my dad is easier than talking with him" Saanvi went back to her room and gone to sleep after thinking so hard about how to escape.
Austin who finished pending office work with Zhang and Riya came back to see Saanvi who was sleeping deeply, sitting next to her, stroking her hair slowly said "I can't let you go out for a while at any cost, so wait until everything is settled" kissing her cheek softly Austin slept beside her hugging tightly.
Waking up in the empty bed Saanvi went to search for Austin with her sleepy eyes, hugging him from behind who is busy early in the morning said "I miss you" passing the papers to Clifton who came to handover the office work to these people Austin asked kissing on her forehead "Want to sleep some more" shaking her head in rejection Saanvi asked Clifton rubbing her eyes "Need a favor from you"
"Yes madam" bent his head as he was waiting for her orders
"Suggest a cafe where I could meet my friends and discuss my work" hugging Austin cozily.
"The Vi cafe is pleasant to have a nice talk, if you want I will ask everyone to vacate" replied looking at her
"You can vacate the cafe which is always busy with customers and always opens 24/7," asked lifting her head in surprise.
"My silly sister, 'The Vi' the ending Vi is something you gotta think about," Zhang said smiling mysteriously
Looking at her puzzled face Clifton said "Ma'am it's..."
"Saanvi, 'The Vi' means, it belongs to you" interrupting Clifton, Riya said to her who was the owner.
"What? Seriously" Saanvi asked releasing Austin's hug.
Nodding his head Austin said with a stern face kissing her forehead "You are not going out so it's a waste to vacate that place now"
"Huh" blinking her eyes she stood over there confusingly.
Saanvi didn't speak or asked anything about why the cafe is in her name. She only opened her mouth asking Austin after their dinner "Can you take me to the place last time brother Zhang took me"
Lifting her into his arms Austin started to walk to the car. Making her sit in the car, after reaching there, Austin asked looking at her dull expression "What happened?"
Holding his hands Saanvi asked with lifeless eyes "Why do you treat me so good Austin? So good that you can't live without me, can't see me with anyone! So good that I became a millionaire" "Why are you doing these? Why are you guys showering me with this much love that sometimes I even feel myself, I am living in a dream" tears started to roll down her cheeks
Wiping her tears he said with a calm and composure voice "Because you are my wife" smiling a little bit he added "Well I have created a big empire where you are the empress so it's natural of you to become a millionaire, of course as you are the one and only empress of my kingdom it is also natural showering you with so much love" slightly hitting her head with his, he added "Right now we are only making up for the past one month where we made you cry a lot" kissing her cheek he added "And as for why I can't see you with anyone, it only looks good when the emperor is with empress right" shrugged his eyebrows smiling cutely.
They both talked for the entire night and Saanvi slept hugging Austin thinking they might get back to their cold and aloof personality once they are back in the office.
