Chapter 15

The following morning, she woke up to an empty bed, and from the looks of it, her husband had not slept at all the previous night. The last thing she remembered was sitting on the couch next to him as he spoke to his team and worked on getting things under control. And from how quiet their private space was, Jai had left for work and would not return until much later in the day.

Considering the royal family member was involved, there were people taking advantage of either gaining support or provoking an argument online. She remembered hearing him talk on the phone as she slowly dozed off.

The large clock told her it was too early for Aish to be awake, so she skipped the idea of messaging her. Instead, she rushed into the bathroom to shower so she could go spend time with Aish that morning.

The shower was the quick option, but the bathtub was calling to her, and a moment later, she gave in. There was so much tension from everything that transpired, she knew she would benefit from it. She had enjoyed a few such baths with just the hot water before washing off quickly in the shower. She didn’t feel guilty about the water she used because filling up the tub, she knew the water would be recycled to be used in the gardens.

Shedding the last of her clothing, she slipped into the hot water and let out a sigh as she was enveloped in the warmth. Her eyes rolled shut, taking in the soothing effect of the water, and rested her arms on the rim of the marble-lined tub. She felt the stiffness in her muscles ease away.

Barely any time had passed, and she was slowly slipping into a slumber, which was a sign for her to get out of the tub and wash off quickly. She was talking to herself about being a good person and getting out of the bathtub when she heard movement outside the bathroom.

It was not the time for the cleaning crew to be there, and it meant it was Jai. “Oh, shit.” She groaned when she realized her robe was not next to her but was hanging on the door instead of the counter space between the shower and the tub’s rim.

She hurried out of the tub, splashing water all over the floor, tiptoeing to the door. Just as she thought, she reached for the robe on the hook, her hand moved away, and her foot slipped. The next thing she knew. her bottom hit the floor and a cry escaped her.

“Sanjana, what’s wrong?” She heard Jai outside the door, and in her utter desire to not be discovered wet and naked, she gathered the strength to get up and reach for the robe. The toweling material was barely on her chest and hips when the bathroom door opened, and he stepped in, looking shocked at the sight in front of him.

He kneeled next to her, inspecting her shaking body.
