Madhu could hear her heart beating rapidly.. in the quiet car, it felt as if someone was playing drums or something. She even feared her heart is going to pop out of her ribs or something.

Akash and Madhu were parked outside Akash's house. Once they were out of the office, Akash asked her and brought her here.. Even though she had agreed, now she was extremely nervous. There is no way that 'nothing' will happen when a man and woman were alone in a house.. but she did not know how to deal with it. She was excited in some small part of her heart but the most part of her was nervous.

Akash, of course, saw right through her.. her face was practically pale and she did not even realize that he had stopped the engine. He extended his hand and ruffled her head bring her back from her trance.

"Hey, I can drop you at your home if you don't want to come in.. or we can even go somewhere else!!" Akash said smiling. It was just a suggestion since Madhu had never seen his house?? whenever they went out, it was always for dinner or something.. and between their works, they only had a short amount of time to spend with each other to actually bring her to his house and show her around. And since Madhu lived with her parents, sleepovers are out of the question.

Madhu quickly shook her head and looked around.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="/book/rich-brat-sweet-revenge-of-a-lazy-princess_15043105205573105/well-this-place-is-awesome%E2%80%A6_50831251027849162">/book/rich-brat-sweet-revenge-of-a-lazy-princess_15043105205573105/well-this-place-is-awesome%E2%80%A6_50831251027849162</a> for visiting.

"Are we there?" She asked instead in a small voice.

"Yes, we are here.." Akash answered getting out. He then walked to the other side and opened the doors for her.

Madhu got out clenching his hands tightly to the point it was painful. But Akash did not complain.. he looked at her nervous but curious eyes as she took a look around. He smiled unconsciously as he dragged her to his house.

It was nothing Madhu had ever seen before.. they were actually in front of what looked like something she would have only seen in dramas on TV or a magazine.. the yard and the pool were enough for her to panic.

"Maybe I should just go back.." Madhu mumbled not daring to take a step forward. She knew Akash was rich.. but knowing and seeing it was so different. In an office setting or a public setting, it gets sugar-coated and masked but in a personal space like home- it was shown to you with a damn focus light scaring the shit out of you.

Akash just gave her an amused look and dragged her in as he called out to his butler and other staff to leave for the day.. he is normally surrounded by people here but looking at Madhu, he wanted her to be as comfortable as possible and he was afraid she wouldn't be comfortable to have all these people around. And his suspicion just got concrete when he saw her look towards his house as if she was seeing a ghost house.

This house was something he had bought after his one year of working at Sri corp. By then, he wanted to move out of his parent's place very desperately. All the sneaking out and getting caught by Bhavna was driving him nuts.. so, he called up Adithya and he set this up for him. And even he was taken aback when he saw the house first.. but knowing Adithya, he should have known something like this could happen. He thought he would get him an apartment or something.. And he did not feel guilty since he did work for one year in Sri corp. and he refused to get paid since he did not have much for it..

But Adithya overdid it and bought him a freaking mansion in the suburbs of the city.. It was two stories up and way too big for one person to live. So, he could understand Madhu's feelings.

But it had become his home.. especially after Adithya passed. Being here made him feel somehow closer to him.. knowing he had personally selected this place and took care of every last detail for him.. it made him get attached to this place.

They walked through the threshold of the living room when Madhu's jaws fell open..

The whole house had a black and white decore.. the living room was so freaking big.. it was occupied by a sofa that was shaped like an open-ended rectangle and the whole set was actually two steps below the floor with a flat-screen television right in front of it hung on the wall and a small coffee table.

To the right was an open space with what looked like a lounge chair in front of a large wall-length glass sliding doors facing the garden area. And of course, there was the open kitchen to the far end of the living room with an island counter in the center and a compact dining table serving as a wall in the front.

Outside of the kitchen was a spiral staircase all-black.. Madhu figured it should lead to the story above them.

"I never pegged you for a black and white kind of a guy!!" Madhu murmured as her eyes still wandered around curiously.

Because of the huge windows, the living room was bright and sunny without the lights.

"Even I did not know until I actually saw this house.. but once I saw it, I just fell in love with it instantly.." Akash said smiling.

It was true though.. he really did not have such gloomy taste.. he liked color.. but something about this house.. he liked it the minute he saw it..

"Then who chose all this in the first place?" Madhu asked frowning.

"Shreya's dad.. he bought this place for me when I said I wanted to move out of home.." Akash replied quietly.

"Well, this place is awesome.." Madhu said smiling..

"I know.. come on.. let's get you something to eat first. You must be starving!!" Akash said dragging her towards the kitchen.
