52. Rudransh is jealous of his pets

Author pov...

Prisha leaned back comfortably, her feet finding their way onto Rudhransh's lap. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes sparkling with mischief as she asked, "You said yesterday you had an important meeting today. What happened to that?" Her tone was casual, but the playful smirk tugging at her lips betrayed her intentions.

Rudhransh barely had time to respond before Prisha interrupted, her voice taking on a mock-serious tone. "Massage kariye. Dard ho raha hai abhi bhi," she demanded, her expression exaggeratedly stern. Amber and Hunter, their loyal pets, sat nearby, their curious eyes darting between the two humans. Their innocent gaze seemed to add fuel to Rudhransh's simmering frustration.

Prisha, ever the tease, leaned forward and planted a soft kiss on Amber's head. "Come, baby, let me give you a kiss," she said, her voice dripping with playful affection. She knew exactly what she was doing-how much Rudhransh hated sharing her attention, especially with the pets. But that was the fun of it. She reveled in his jealousy, deliberately keeping him at arm's length while showering Amber and Hunter with kisses. Her laughter bubbled up as she watched Rudhransh's expression darken, his eyes narrowing at the two oblivious animals.

"I canceled the meeting," Rudhransh finally admitted, his voice tinged with irritation. His gaze remained fixed on Amber and Hunter, as if willing them to disappear. "What the hell? They come here . It's our time now, and you're giving it to them," he grumbled, his frustration spilling over.

Prisha's toes brushed against his chest, a light, teasing gesture that made him pause. She tilted her head, her smile softening as she said, "Stop being jealous." Her voice was gentle now, a soothing balm to his wounded pride. She knew how to balance her teasing with tenderness, how to pull him back from the edge with just a few words.

Rudhransh's hands worked gently, massaging Prisha's legs, but his mind was far from the moment. The message from the unknown number lingered like a shadow, its cryptic words gnawing at him. He had tried calling back, but the number was now unreachable. Frustration bubbled beneath the surface as his thoughts spiraled. *First Dr. Nikil's death, and now this message... What's happening?* The pieces refused to fit together, leaving him restless and uneasy.

His train of thought was abruptly derailed as he caught sight of Prisha heading outside, her usual entourage-Amber and Hunter-trotting faithfully behind her. Rudhransh's jaw tightened, his irritation spilling over. "Fucking assholes," he muttered under his breath, glaring at the pets. "Here they come, always getting between me and my wife." The words were sharp, but his actions betrayed him as he followed Prisha like a lost puppy, unable to resist her pull.

"Amber!" he called out, his voice firm as he stopped in his tracks. The lion and panther froze, their intelligent eyes fixed on him. Rudhransh pointed toward the mansion, his tone leaving no room for argument. "Last warning. Go to Agniwanshi Mansion. You've spent enough time with her. Now go. We'll be back in the evening." Amber and Hunter exchanged a glance, their silent communication almost mocking him. Before Rudhransh could say more, Prisha's voice rang out.

"Come, babies!" she called, her tone light and cheerful. The pets immediately obeyed, their loyalty unwavering as they followed her lead. Rudhransh's frustration deepened as he watched her command them with ease, his authority undermined yet again.

Prisha's gaze shifted to the sky, her eyes lighting up as she noticed the gathering clouds. "Looks like rain is coming. We'll dance!" she exclaimed, her excitement bubbling over. She twirled like a carefree child, her laughter infectious as the first drops of rain began to fall. Amber and Hunter joined her, their movements mirroring her joy as they leapt and played in the rain.

Rudhransh stood frozen, his eyes locked on her. *Now she doesn't feel pain?* he thought, incredulous as he watched her jump and twirl without a care in the world. The rain soaked her, but she seemed untouched by discomfort, her happiness radiating like sunlight breaking through the storm.
