# 4 NEFARIOUS

3 WEEKS LATER

         *

 I stood there all wrapped up in my white bridal gown in front of the Nikolaev's Mansion with Leonid beside me. He was wearing his black tuxedo suit looking all handsome and hot .

Anya ma'am welcomed us to our, actually my new house. I looked at my so called husband before I took my first step in his house.

He gave me a "Whatever" look.

"Welcome Natasha.... " said Christoff Sir

I smiled at him.

"Well we'll be here today.... But from tomorrow you both shall have the house to yourself" he continued.

I saw my husband standing with his hands on his waist. I knew he was planning to irritate me in every ways possible. But I too was Natasha Petrin, oops Nikolaev and I had promised Christoff sir to bring Leonid back to the right track.

"Your room's on the first floor..... " said Anya ma'am  smiling.

I smiled back at her.

I knew Leonid wouldn't come so I alone went to the room.

I opened the door to the room. It was so big. It was decorated with flowers and scented candles giving a romantic aura. I stepped into the room, completely mesmerized with the beauty it beheld. The bed was covered with a white linen sheet and on it were rose petals, scattered all over the white arena.

My eyes fell on the wall which were covered with pictures, pictures of Leonid. And then there was that picture where he and Alena were standing on the Beach. He looked so happy.

I had never wanted to interfere in the lives of anyone. I always had lots to handle in my own life and only because Christoff Sir had trusted me , was I here , in his room.

I went to the window and opened the wooden pane. And just as I had done so, a soft breeze swept over my face. It felt so refreshing after the hectic wedding. I looked at the dark sky. Not one star was visible.

Somehow I felt happy that moment as I remembered what mom used to tell me...

"You just have to sit through the storm...the next morning will be beautiful enough I promise. "

I knew the next days would be bad.. Not only the next days but the next months. I would have to hold back but I was ready for it.

I was busy with my thoughts when I heard the door shut.

I looked in the direction.

Leonid stood there.

Why was here?! Don't tell me I would have to share the bed with him. God please no!!

"Now if you are out of this dream zone of yours... Can I just change.. And in that case you too!! " he said

I nodded and went straight to the washroom with my clothes.

The washroom was huge too. I kept wondering what was the need for such a big washroom for one individual.

I came out wearing a orange tank top and a black shorts.

I stepped out of the washroom and found Leonid combing his hair. I took a step towards the bed.....

"Oh miss... Watch out okay!!

I looked at him unaware of what was coming next.

"It's my bed !! " he said and walked towards the bed

He sat in a majestic manner on the bed. I kept looking at him blankly.

"Where do I sleep?! " I finally asked.

"There's enough space on the couch...and the floor"

I looked down at the floor. It was cold because of that ac. I finally made my way to the sofa, helpless.

Leonid threw the white bed sheet on the floor and the petals scattered.

I sat on the sofa but it was just not for sleeping and I wouldn't get a pillow that was for sure. Finally after half an hour of struggling with that furniture I decided that the night shall be spent on the floor.

I looked at him and he was sleeping peacefully under his blanket.

I went for the sheet of cloth that lay on the floor. I removed the petals aside and spread the bed sheet on the floor.

I lay on it and covered myself somehow with my hands from the cold.

The first day of my marriage- NEFARIOUS.
