Bound by Fate, Entwined by Love.
Chapter 3: "Unspoken Tensions"
Siya and Aarav struggle to maintain their distance as circumstances force them to interact. Despite their resentment, an undeniable pull begins to grow between them.
Breakfast Table – Aarav’s Penthouse
Siya enters the dining area, dressed for work. She pours herself coffee, ignoring Aarav, who is seated at the table reading the newspaper.
Siya (FL)
(without looking at him) "I’ll be out for most of the day. Work meetings."
Aarav (ML)
(Flipping the page of his newspaper, not sparing her a glance) "You don’t need to inform me."
Siya (FL)
(taking a sip of her coffee, her voice calm but firm) "I wasn’t informing you. I was letting the staff know, in case they wonder why their employer’s wife isn’t around."
Aarav finally looks up, eyes narrowing slightly.
Aarav (ML)
"You can do whatever you want, Siya. Just don’t expect me to care."
Siya (FL)
(placing her cup down with a slight thud)"Trust me, I don’t."
She picks up her handbag and strides toward the door. Aarav watches her leave, irritation flickering in his eyes. He takes a deep breath and turns back to his paper, but the words blur as his thoughts linger on her stubborn defiance.
