"Alex How can you marry a girl whose status can't even match your status. She is a low class and roadside girl. She is just behind your money and for that, she may have trapped you which is why you are wrapped around her fingers."

"Enough Dad....." The mansion was completely shaken by Alex's high pinch tone. His father had crossed the limit and now he could not bear it. He had been trying to convince his father for the last 30 minutes but his father was not ready to understand anything. It was the first time in his life that he had tried to convince someone for thirty minutes. And pretty much just for Avery. If there had been someone else in place of his father, he would have been shoot but he did not want to make his mother a widow."

"Enough is enough. She is my wife and you have no right to say anything about my wife."

" Then divorce her," William yelled at his son. He had nothing to do with the fact that Avery is now his son's wife. He wanted a girl with a powerful family background for his son, which would have expanded their unlimited business and given his family more power.

"How dare you...." Alex gritted his teeth. His eyes were throwing fire at his father. "How dare you...." He growled again and clenched fists. He was about to say further but suddenly Amaya put her hand on his shoulder. He turned to his sister and saw that Amaya was looking in a particular direction. He followed Amaya's gaze and his pupils constricted.

There stood his wife at the top of the stairs. There was an unspeakable fear on her face. Her body was shaking so much like she was standing in very heavy rain. She was holding the railing to support her body and she was on the verge of collapsing down.

As Alex's gaze landed on her, he ran up the stairs, skipping three treads in each step, and reached in front of her. The next moment he cupped her pale face. And he spoke in a gentle tone as he could.

"Look at me." He said but still, Avery's eyes were glued to William. His last sentence was still processing in her brain. She couldn't believe her ears. How could he say that? It was true that Avery was not Alex's standard. But how could he judge her when he still knew nothing about her. It was not she who came into Alex's life. It was Alex who came into her life from nowhere and Claimed Her. She was indebted to Alex for saving her brother's life, but that didn't mean William could say anything about her.

She desperately wanted to show William the mirror at the time but she didn't have the courage. And because of his last sentence, she was still in the daze.

"Look at me, dear." This time he whispers yelled and she turned her head. As soon As their eyes met, "I'm pregnant with your child Alex. You're not going to leave me and my baby, aren't you? You're not going to divorce me." She asked Alex in one breath like her life depended on these sentences.

From her question, Alex guessed how much she was scared.

She lifted her hanging arms and placed them on Alex's c.h.e.s.t. She clenched the fabric of his black shirt in her small fist.

" Alex.... I...."

"Shh....You don't have to say anything. He knew in that look that she was going to ask him the same question again. Because of that he cut her in advance and announced, "We are leaving right now."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he lifted Avery in his arms in bridal style. Avery also hid her face in his crook in response to Alex's action. Without saying a word to the family, taking Avery in his arms he walked out the main door.

Avery was sitting on Alex's l.a.p. Her face was buried in his c.h.e.s.t and her hands on his c.h.e.s.t. Both legs were stretched out on the seat. Despite the heater on in the car, she was feeling cold which made her try to snuggle in Alex even more. Seeing her hard efforts, Alex pushed her long pony side and then started rubbing her back and arms.

"Feeling cold Love." He asked, kissing her on the head.

" Little bit." Hearing this, he cursed himself. If he had left the main mansion early and didn't try to convince his father, his little delicate wife would be in a warm quilt right now. And he cursed himself so much that he left his tux jacket in the mansion. While thinking about this, an idea hit him very hard and he broke his and Avery's embrace position.

Avery became irritated by the sudden disappearance of warmth.

"What are you doing?" She said in an angry tone.

"One-minute little rabbit." He quickly rolled down the sleeves of his shirt and pulled the shirt out of his waist belt before opening the button. She was looking at him in a state of confusion when he suddenly became half-n.a.k.e.d in front of her for a moment.

" Alex...." She nearly gasped and put her hand on her eyes.

"Don't be shy. It's not like that you never saw me half-n.a.k.e.d before."

He quickly wrapped his shirt around her small body and held her very close as if she were part of his body and part of his soul.

Because of his warm body, I got her home. She was normal in front of him but her heart was crying in her c.h.e.s.t. She was just praying that Alex should not listen to his father.

Repeating William's words over and over in her head, she didn't even know when she fell asleep.

On the other hand, Alex sighed and looked at his wife who was sleeping peacefully in his arms. He knew she was showing like, 'everything was okay but from inside she was very badly hurt.'

She was looking so beautiful when he saw her in the blue today. Today he did not expect her to wear a saree but the condition was such bad that he could not adore her beauty.

He came out of the chain of his thoughts when the car halted and he realized that their destiny had come. He pressed the button and the partition went down. The bodyguard opened the door and Alex stepped out.

The bodyguards standing at the entrance were shocked to see him half-n.a.k.e.d. But they did not dare to ask any question. And then their eyes landed on a small figure which was wrapped in their boss's shirt in their boss's arms. That means Beast was protecting his angel from cold.

Seeing Avery in Alex's jacket was not new to bodyguards. It happened almost every time whenever they came back to the mansion. And mostly at night. But today she was in a shirt.

_______

She slowly opened her eyes. She was not in the car but on a soft bed in their bedroom.

She was in the arms of her husband, one arm under her head and the other on her b.a.r.e belly. She was not in her saree but a skirt and blouse. She was in the blue skirt she was wearing inside the saree. She stretched out her hand and picked up her mobile, which was on the nightstand. Which she had kept on the stand before she left.

These days, whenever Avery goes out with Alex, she never carries her mobile with her because she thinks she doesn't need anything when he is with her husband.

She looked at Time. It was two o'clock in the morning.

The reason for waking up at two o'clock was her dream. She saw different spicy dishes in her dream which opened her eyes and aroused her d.e.s.i.r.e to eat something spicy. Alex kept her away from spicy food which made her crave spicy food more but whenever she came in contact with spic and the smell hit her nose, she started feeling nauseous. It was a very difficult situation.

She wanted to eat something to suppress her d.e.s.i.r.e to eat something spicy but for that, she had to go to the kitchen and for that, she had to get out of her husband's tight grip first.

Without disturbing Alex's sleep, she somehow got free from his grip and stood on the floor. She looked for her saree. She picked up her saree from the couch and dr.a.p.ed it around her body.

After going into the kitchen, she decided to make pasta. After a while, she made delicious pasta. She filled the pasta into the plate and dipped the spoon into it to test. She was about to put a spoonful of pasta into her mouth when she remembered Alex and she didn't want to eat behind him today. Because of whatever happened at the party today, she was guaranteed not he didn't have his meal properly. " I should call Alex. " She whispered a little louder in return she got an immediate answer.

"No need..."
