Tainted Love by Maniah (i love reading TXT) 📖

Vani's eyes widened hearing him. She stopped her struggles of getting out of his hold. She became numb for a moment.

Mrityunjay pulled her, even more, closer and grabbed her jaw softly, he looked into her eyes and then moved to her lips. "Or you can't live without a man in your bed. Do you crave physical pleasure that much, if yes then I can give you that too…"

And that was when Vani came out of the shock. She showed away with all her strength. "You are disgusting!" She whispered. 

"Really! Am I saying something wrong? You wanted to go back to your previous lifestyle. Whom did she offer this time to you, another one of my rivals, hn! What price did she offer you, Vanya? But let me tell you one thing if you even think about her offer I will ruin you and her. I won't let my son suffer because of his mother's character."

 And Vani lost it. She raised her hand and slapped him hard across his face. Mrityunjay was stunned...he looked at her wide-eyed. 

"You…" Mrityunjay took a step forward but stopped when Vani spoke.

"Don't you dare put my son in between your vulgarity? I am standing here and tolerating your presence because of my son only and don't you ever forget that." She took a shaky breath to calm herself but couldn't. 

"And who are you to question my character, have you ever looked into yours? Just because you are rich and famous your character is pure, no one dares to question you but I could be questioned because I don't have money like you. But let me give you a reality check Mr Sehgal if I am something dirty and degrading because I sold myself once then you too are the same one. Why only my character is being questioned, why not yours. Don't forget it was you who paid for me."

Vani pointed a finger in his chest. "You. You. You…" she gulped heavily. Tears were rolling out her eyes and her breathing was getting heavy with every single word. 

Mrityunjay was staring at her in confusion over her behaviour. 

"After I left, how many other girls came into your life? I met one of them today, wasn't she the one who you wanted to get married to? For whom you threw me away. From talking to her I gather you slept with her as well, then why was she not questioned about her character." 

Vani raised her brows and nodded. "Yes! Because she belonged to your class. Because she has money! That girl was trying to show me down because of you but she didn't know that you are nothing but a heartless man for whom only money and your so-called reputation mattered." She pointed her finger in his chest.

Vani wiped her tears and shook her head. She gulped again. "When you threw me out of your house, I was alone. No one helped me, I helped myself. I fought with everyone, people, society, taunts everything alone. When my child was being called names I fought with society alone. You were nowhere and today you are telling me that you won't let your child suffer because of his mother's character."

"Listen to me Mr Sehgal, My character was pure when I sold myself. My character was pure when I was with you and my character is pure even today because you or this society is no one to judge my character. Do you understand me, I decide what my character is, I, not you or anyone else can judge my character."

Mrityunjay's mind couldn't understand her. He saw her himself, he saw how she accepted her card and how casually she was talking to Shannon. The woman who runs India's biggest escort agency in the name of a modelling company.  

When he first saw her at that bachelor's party she attracted him. She looked naive and innocent for a moment. He was sure that she was not from this world but then when he saw her friend he understood that she was one of those complementary girls. 

That night he couldn't get her eyes out of his mind and he asked Dhigraj to know more about her and when he came to know about her from Shannon's agency he made the offer. At first, Shannon declined to say that Vanya was already booked by someone but when Mrityunjay told her that he would pay double the price she accepted the offer and signed Vanya exclusively to him till he wanted.  She had not been with anyone before him, he knew that. She was reluctant he knew that too but she wanted money and she was very open about it. The way she asked for money without being bothered about anything he respected her. His mistress before her always pretended to be something else, they pretended to be good-hearted women but in reality, they were anything but that, they were after his money.

 But she was not like them. Initially, she was not and he liked that. He likes spending time with her then. No one else was able to give him peace of mind but she did. She was his peace, not asking unnecessary questions, not pretending to be something else he liked that in her. He liked her company, with her he didn't feel alone. But then he met Shannon in Jaipur and that day he came to know that she was like everyone else. 

Mrityunjay's eyes flashed."Stop talking, stop preaching about yourself. If you are so pure then why did you even give it a thought? Why did you take her card? Tell me, what did she offer you this time?"

"Who? Who offered me what?" Vani snapped at him. 

"Vanya, don't test my patience goddammit. You damn well know whom I am talking about. How many cards did you accept at the party? How many offers did you receive?" 

Vani squeezed her eyes shut and gritted her teeth at his accusation. She had tolerated enough of this today. "You know what, I am not obliged to answer you. You are no one to ask me anything," she said, opening her eyes. She shook her head and turned to leave but Mrityunjay grabbed her elbow and pulled her in his arms. 

"You are my wife, Mrs Vanya Mrityunjay Sehgal and that gave me the right to know you." He told her. 

Vani gazed into his eyes, her breathing turned heavy at his words. He was searching her face, "So I am telling you this last time, Mrs Sehgal. Don't even think about renewing your professional bonds with her and don't ever try to meet her again…"
