Obsessive Flames of Love

Rudra reached the mansion at 04. 30 PM and quickly dressed up in a Brioni Vanquish Royal Blue Suit with diamond-studded cufflinks, which perfectly matches Tanvi’s dress.

Tanvi dressed up in the A-line dress with matching jewelry and sandals. She styled her hair in small curls, which gave a bouncy look and put on eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, and completed her touch-up.

Her appearance is exquisite, and she doesn’t use heavy makeup but gave off a classic aura.

Soon, it became 05. 00 PM, both Tanvi and Rudra were ready, and they looked like a perfect couple in matching attire with dominating charm emanating from them.

Tanvi chuckled, “Woah. We are looking great!” Rudra glanced at her lovingly and patted her hair. Tanvi held his arm and looked at him, “Let’s take a picture together.” After hearing her request for a split second, Rudra is shocked but regained his balance with a nod.

“Why do you suddenly want a picture of us?” Tanvi raised an eyebrow and brushed him with ridicule, “Can’t I have a picture with my husband? I have seen your pictures with models and celebrities all over the internet.”

He pulled her closer and embraced her, “Awww! My Baby is jealous?” Tanvi stroked off and said, “Why will I?” She scoffed, and Rudra grinned aloud.

After a bit of a sarcastic quarrel, they took some snaps, and Rudra’s lips curved high while gazing at her childish side.

He adored this carefree side of her and felt satisfied. They hopped into his Buggati La Voiture Noire, and he stepped on the accelerator. They fled to the Aljana Festa, which is at Nariman Point, and it took about an hour and a half to reach there.

By the time they arrived there, Maahir had approached them. “Is everything set?” Rudra questioned him. “Yes, Boss. We are waiting for your presence there.”

The hotel manager and other staff welcomed them politely with bouquets. Rudra nodded to them and put his hand across her waist.

Tanvi is exploring the hotel surrounded by a beautiful view. She felt excited and reached a presidential suite where no people are roaming nearby. She couldn’t help herself but question him.

“Rudra, Why this place seems empty in this busy hour? What is going on?” He squeezed her and held her hand tightly to which she smiled and didn’t ask any further.

They quite understood each other well in the past two months of their marriage, so she decided not to push it further since she know he will tell her when the time is correct.

He suddenly closed her eyes, “Hey! What are you doing?” She shouted at him.

“Hush! Do you trust me?” Rudra whispered in her ear gently to which she nodded. “Then let me take you.” He said and took her into the room. The people in the room grasped on looking at the scene in front of them. Rudra gestured a hush to them, and they immediately followed his signal.

“Tanvi!” He slowly murmured.

“Umm?”

“I am taking off my hands, slowly open your eyes now.” With that, Tanvi glanced at the room, and she was bewildered for a moment.

She did not understand whether it is reality or a dream. Rudra sensed her uneasiness and comforted her by putting his hands on her shoulder.

She then realized and jumped with joy. She wanted to speak a lot, but words are not coming from her mouth.

“How come you all are here?” She questioned surprisingly. “Even we don’t know why?” They replied with uncertainty.

Tanvi understood this is all done by Rudra and stared at him with happiness, to which he patted with affection, and they all sat in their respective chairs.

Their eyes were baffled and popped out on seeing this god-like man in front of them and did not dare to raise their voice.

Tanvi sensed their hesitation and introduced him. “mom, dad, Ameera, and Advik. He is my husband, Mr. Ishaan Rudra Chauhan.” Rudra smirked while gazing at her graciously.

His gaze is soft only for her, and for the rest of the world, he is the president of the Chauhan Group of Companies, the ultimate king.

He can destroy anyone within a flick. His piercing cold gaze creates cold sweat in the people surrounding him. The people present in the room were dumbfounded by listening to his introduction as her husband.

They were exchanging glances but did not dare to speak anything. Tanvi helplessly looked at Rudra to ease the situation. “Yes! We are married. It’s been two months since we are married.” He confirmed.

Their mouths were wide open by listening to it. “I arranged this gathering to let you all know about this since you are her closest people,” Rudra stated his purpose behind this. “Feel free to interact. You are her family, which means you are my people too.”

Everyone fell silent after hearing his words. It took several minutes for them to regain their composure, and then they congratulated the couple.

Still, they are curious about how it happened? and the reason behind not informing them. Yet, no one raised their suspicions and started to enjoy the dinner.

They felt honored to have dinner with Rudra, who ruled many industries with his single order. He won’t even spare a glance at many well-known personalities since he is that busy.

Rudra tried to interact with them as politely as possible because he is not the one to socialize or made fun with other people since it is required to maintain his aura and dominance.

He mostly attended all sorts of gatherings and traveled the world, but they are all business-related. So, this personal family meeting is very new to him, and he is trying not to hurt Tanvi with his recklessness.

Tanvi felt very blessed to interact with her beloved people, but her glance never missed him, and she sensed his distress and pressed his hand to calm him. That tiny gesture melted him, and he felt content.

The dinner went by with a lot of fun talks and cheerful laughs. Tanvi laughed her heart out, and Rudra gave a slight smile in between. He never lost his dignity in public and never show any emotions except for Tanvi and Tamaz.

That is how Rudra is. He is aloof to the world, and people can not reach nearby his presence. His demeanor resembles an aura of an almighty king. His appearance itself reveals to people that they could not afford to offend him.

After a hearty feast with her people, Tanvi clung to his arm, “Thank you, Hubby. It means a lot to me.” and she gave a peck on his cheeks. He planted a kiss on her forehead while displaying their public display of affection.

Looking at this scene in front of them, they all felt delighted for Tanvi. Rudra whispered to her, “I have booked rooms for them. It’s your choice to accompany them here or not.” Tanvi looked at him, “What do you say?”

“I respect your decision, whatever it is.” He nuzzled her hair and placed his hand on her shoulder.

“Is that comfortable for your work?” She held his hand and stared into his eyes to read his emotions.

“Yes, I can manage. By the way, it’s not too far from the office.” She felt so touched and gave a side hug to him in acknowledgment.

This entire time, not even a minute, Ameera, Advik, and her parents missed their expressions.

They all really felt emotional seeing her this happy and for the understanding between the couple.

Never in their wildest dream, they had anticipated an imperious and cold-hearted man would treat Tanvi with this care and love. Just looking at the couple reveals how deeply they are connected.

“Mom, Dad, Ameera, and Advik. We all are staying in the hotel for tonight.” Tanvi said with loads of bliss in her tone, and they all smiled as an “Okay” in response.

They were going to their rooms, and Rudra took Tanvi aside. “Spend some time with them. I will be in our suite to take some meetings.”

“Okay. Don’t stress yourself too much. It’s not good for your health.”

“Okay, madam! I will do as you say,” and he chuckled by glancing at her lovingly. Tanvi hit his biceps frustratingly.

“Listen!! Be a good girl and come to our suite while sleeping.” He murmured while holding her in his arms and resting his chin on her shoulder.

“What if I don’t?” He raised her eyebrow provocatively. “I will come and take you then.” He smirked arrogantly. “You….” She is stunned by understanding the hidden meaning. He snickered and took her to them.

Tanvi entered the room while Ameera and Advik were discussing. On seeing her presence, Ameera and Advik bombarded Tanvi with questions.

“Why did you lie to us?”

“How did you end up marrying the big boss?”

“How did this all happen, and why did you not even inform your parents?”

“We all know the tragic with Riaan, then how come Mr. Rudra came into the picture in this short span?”

“What is going on with you, Tanvi? Come on, now answer us.” They yelled at her.

“Huh! Relax, guys!!” She decided to address their questions and ease their tension. Tanvi did not deliver the way how it happened since it will portray Rudra in the wrong.

Since she accepted him and understood him well, she does not want any complications between Rudra and her due to her family and friends. After listening to the events, they felt satisfied and hugged her warmly.

“Give me some time, guys. I will go to my parents.” With that, she left for another room. “Mom, Dad!” She shouted excitedly to hide her guilt.

They gave her warm hugs and kissed her fondly. “I am sorry for not informing you about this earlier. I regret it, but things happened so quickly that I did not understand when to tell and how to tell.” She expressed her honest opinion.

“There is no need to regret, Tanvi. We know about this that you are going to marry him but did not know when it happened?”

After listening to that, she is amazed. “What? How did you know? I never remembered telling you about him?”

“Sweetie, Rudra approached us even before your engagement with Riaan had broken. But we informed him about your fixed marriage, then he left. Though we both were surprised but did not intend to inform you.” Hearing it, Tanvi got struck with words and encouraged them to continue.

“One day, Rudra came to our house after your engagement has canceled. We did not understand the reason for his visit and invited him politely since he is not the one with whom we can mess up. He put a marriage proposal saying he knows about the break of your marriage. But in that state of yours, we don’t want to trouble you with any force from our side. So, we expressed our honest view with him.”

“He politely understood that and took our permission for your marriage. We agreed since there is no reason to object to him. Then he said, your life is in danger, and he can only protect you when you are around him.”

“We both panicked on listening that you are in danger.”

He sensed our discomfort and said, “I know now is not the correct time to marry Tanvi. But things are going out of control. So, to marry her, I need your help.” We both agreed since your life is precious to us.

He said in a somewhat conflicted tone, “I will send my people with weapons, and you act as if you are being frightened. Looking at your helpless state, she will agree to this.” After hearing it, we straightforwardly rejected his idea since we don’t want to force you.

But we indeed sensed the seriousness of the issue, or else there is no need for him to inform us in person. Then he said in utmost sincerity, “Even I never wish to marry her like that. But I don’t want her life at risk. Trust me! I will make her happy.”

“I don’t have much time left. So, decide as fast as you can.” After seeing him and understanding the situation, we nodded. “Then, he even protected us by having his men at our house from some bad people.”

“So, we know that you will belong to him sooner or later. We are sorry, sweetie. We daily mourn for pushing you like that. Now, we are relieved of seeing you happy with him.” They kissed her and cried together.

After listening completely, Tanvi felt like a bolt of lightning got stuck in her throat. She felt a surge of emotions passed through in this short span. She needed time to digest all the events that took place.

“I am relaxed since my biggest hurdle in our marriage got sorted. Rudra did everything for my sake, and he did not trouble my family. In reality, he protected them.” This conclusion gave more affection to him.

She almost wept by knowing the struggle he felt for doing it. After spending quality time with her people, she felt mesmerized. She felt proud of having such a man as her husband.
