Chapter 104 - The Newness
The words from Suresh hit Sneha like a slap across the face.
She stood frozen in the hall long after he had left for the office, his cold question echoing in her head:
What will you do if I keep having sex with another woman and crawl back to you in the middle of the night?
Tears stung her eyes. She questioned herself for the first time in months. Why have I become like this? When did I start hurting the man I once loved more than anything?
Determined to do something — anything — to bridge the growing distance, she went into the kitchen and decided to prepare Suresh’s favorite breakfast: soft idlis with coconut chutney and spicy sambar. She moved mechanically, her mind still reeling. She decided to take a bath and present herself neatly before serving..
When she entered the master bedroom to take a bath, Gowtham was already inside the bathroom.
She waited, but he opened the door and pulled her in without a word.
“Come inside,” he said, voice thick with morning desire.
“I’ll bathe after you’re done,” she protested weakly.
But Gowtham didn’t listen. He pulled her under the shower and turned it on.
He knows the mood of Sneha, he said, im sorry i didnt mean to hurt you.. Im sorry, where i will go if you are angry on me? Im sorry okay? lets finish what we started in morning or my day wont go in a way i want..
Warm water cascaded over them. He kissed her cheeks, then her lips, trying to ignite the passion from last night.
Sneha stood still like a statue under the warm spray, water cascading over her naked body. Her mind was miles away — trapped in the image of Suresh’s hurt eyes that morning, his cold detachment, and the terrifying fear that she was slowly losing him forever. She didn’t kiss Gowtham back. She didn’t wrap her arms around him. She simply stood there, letting it happen.
Gowtham noticed her lack of response immediately. Her usual fire, her eager moans, her hungry hands — none of it was there today. But he didn’t stop. He was too aroused, too frustrated from the previous rejections, and too used to taking what he wanted from her.
He lifted one of her legs, hooking it over his hip, and rubbed the thick head of his hard cock against her entrance. She was still wet from earlier, but there was no eager anticipation in her eyes. He pushed inside her in one firm thrust anyway, burying himself to the hilt.
Sneha let out a soft, involuntary moan as he filled her, her body reacting on pure instinct. But inside, she was struggling. Every thrust felt distant, mechanical. Her hands rested limply on his shoulders, not pulling him closer, not pushing him away. She stared at the tiled wall behind him, water streaming down her face.
Gowtham leaned in to kiss and suck on her neck, intending to leave a fresh, possessive mark like he usually did. But this time Sneha turned her head away sharply, denying him access.
“No marks,” she whispered, voice strained but firm.
Gowtham paused for a fraction of a second, surprised by her resistance. He could feel the emotional wall she had put up. Still, he didn’t stop thrusting. He gripped her waist tighter and fucked her against the wet tiles — rough, relentless strokes that made her breasts bounce with every impact. The sound of skin slapping wet skin echoed in the shower, mixing with the steady spray of water.
For ten long minutes, he took her like that — deep, possessive thrusts, his mouth moving to her shoulder and collarbone instead, but she kept shifting subtly, preventing him from leaving any visible fresh marks. Her body betrayed her with soft gasps and moans, her pussy clenching around him involuntarily as pleasure rippled through her despite everything. But her mind remained detached, floating somewhere between guilt and numbness.
Gowtham groaned against her skin, chasing his own release. He knew she wasn’t fully there with him, but he didn’t slow down. He fucked her harder, faster, until his thighs tensed and he buried himself deep, spilling inside her with a low, guttural moan.
When he finally pulled out, Sneha leaned against the wall, breathing heavily, water washing over her flushed body. Tears continued to fall silently down her cheeks, hidden by the shower.
She whispered, voice barely audible, “Gowtham… I need to bathe alone. Give me some time.”
Gowtham looked at her for a moment, sensing the emotional wall between them. He didn’t argue. He stepped out of the shower, leaving her standing there under the running water — alone with her guilt, her confusion, and the growing fear that she was destroying everything she once held dear.
Alone in the shower, Sneha cried silently. The water hid her tears as she scrubbed herself, trying to wash away the guilt, the confusion, and the growing mess she had created. How will I fix this with Suresh? Stopping sex won’t be enough. Rebuilding what we once had… it’s going to be a hectic task. But she was determined. She had to try.
She came out, dried herself, and dressed carefully in a beautiful cotton red saree — the one Suresh had bought her for her birthday years ago. She looked at herself in the mirror. For a moment, she saw the old Sneha — the wife who once made her husband’s eyes light up. She appeared like a princess, elegant and graceful.
She went to the kitchen to finish cooking. After the breakfast was done, Suresh left for the office without a word. Gowtham came out, gave her a quick lip kiss (which she didn’t fully return), and left for work too.
Sneha stood alone in the silent house, the red saree suddenly feeling heavy on her body.
At Gowtham’s office, chaos greeted him the moment he stepped inside. People were gossiping loudly, no one at their desks. HR looked extremely tense. The trainees, including Varsha, were huddled together, faces pale.
Gowtham’s mind immediately flashed to Varsha’s half-naked body in the washroom yesterday, but the tension in the air pulled him back to reality. He kept his laptop bag in his cabin and walked straight toward the boss’s room.
He could hear Mr. Prakash’s raised voice from inside:
“How did this happen again?! The same competitor won the bid! How?! This will put our entire company’s growth at question! Call Gowtham — I need him now!”
Gowtham froze outside the door, stunned.
On the other side of the city, Suresh reached the towering V-Activate Group headquarters. The massive glass-and-steel structure dominated the skyline, one of the biggest corporate landmarks in the area. Dark clouds had gathered since morning, and by the time he arrived, heavy rain was pouring down in sheets, turning the roads into rivers.
The underground parking was strictly restricted to senior management and special guests, but today Suresh decided to risk it. Just this once, he thought. No one will notice in this rain. He was already running late for an important internal meeting, and fighting for a spot on the overcrowded ground-level lot would waste more time.
He drove down the spiraling ramp. The sound of rain faded into a distant roar as the underground level swallowed him. Fluorescent lights flickered overhead, casting long, cold shadows. Everything seemed normal at first — rows of luxury cars, quiet hum of generators, the faint smell of wet concrete and engine oil.
He parked in a relatively empty corner, killed the engine, and stepped out. The door click echoed loudly in the cavernous space. He adjusted his tie, grabbed his laptop bag, and turned to walk toward the elevator.
That’s when he saw it.
In a blind spot near the far wall, partially hidden behind a concrete pillar, a man lay sprawled on the floor. He was badly beaten, face swollen, blood pooling around his head and staining his white shirt. Three well-dressed men,corporate goons in sharp suits, stood over him like predators. One held a wooden rod, another a small knife, the third was wiping blood from his knuckles with a handkerchief.
And among them, issuing commands with ice-cold authority, was Vinodhini Rakesh.
Her voice was sharp and commanding. “Make sure he doesn’t talk. Clean this up before anyone comes down.”
Their eyes met across the dimly lit space.
For the first time, Suresh saw a completely new version of her , sharp, dangerous, and in complete control. The elegant, professional woman who had guided him through his onboarding was gone. In her place stood someone cold, ruthless, and utterly terrifying.
Vinodhini’s expression hardened instantly. Her eyes narrowed, and for a split second, something lethal flashed across her face.
“Suresh,” she said, her voice low but carrying clear authority, “what the hell are you doing here? Don’t you know underground parking is restricted?”
The three men turned toward him, their postures shifting threateningly. The air grew thick with tension. Rainwater dripped from the ceiling somewhere in the distance, the only sound breaking the heavy silence.
Suresh stood frozen, heart pounding. The blood on the floor, the weapons, Vinodhini’s commanding presence — everything screamed that he had just walked into something he was never meant to see.
The words from Suresh hit Sneha like a slap across the face.
