    You were arranged to get married to Yuvraj Singh Rajawat, who now stood infront of you while you were in the middle of pouring yourself another glass of Rosè from his cabinet of luxurious alcohols.

    It was an arranged marriage or more like a marriage of convenience. You came from an affluential family and your parents wanted you married as according to them you were old enough to be married when you were infact only 25. But you didn't protest, you had always got whatever you wanted since you were a child, from having a comfortable life, being highly educated to working with the Tech giants, you were satisfied with your life. You didn't have any interest in dating so you knew that the last resort was an arranged marriage but what you didn't know was it would be this soon.

    Yuvraj was 30, the CEO of Rajawat Industries and the heir to his family business. The Rajawat's were known to be one of the most sought after families as they held majority of shares in the real estate and manufacturing sectors in the economy. They were an old school family, who held traditions and morals befitting of their name. Yuvraj agreed to an arranged marriage as his grandfather put up the condition to let him be the legitimate heir only when he gets married.

    But Yuvraj didn't know what he was getting into, both his and your families have met and set up the arrangement and now you stood in his home, trying to get yourself another glass of wine while he stood with an observant expression looking at you intently.

    You had thought you were being good at sneaking into the bar to be able to fetch yourself a bottle of Rosè from his cabinet in his mansion. Technically you weren't stealing as you were already given permission by his parents to explore around the vast and luxurious Rajawat estate and help yourself to whatever you wanted or pleased.

    But what you hadn't expected was to bump into Yuvraj himself while you were in the middle of making yourself another drink and now things were...slightly awkward for you. From what you've heard about him, he was a calm and cold person but looking at him yourself, you couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

    Whereas, Yuvraj having been observing you since the moment you stepped in his estate, found you fascinating to say the least. To him, you looked like a little kitten trying to sneak up and do something she wasn't supposed to do right now. Yet he didn't say anything and just quietly observed you. He wanted to laugh at your embarrassed expression but he knew that one wrong move from him would make you run away from him which he didn't want nor appreciated.

    The silence was awkward and you being you, couldn't bear it anymore hence you tried to speak first hoping he wouldn't think of you as a weird alcohol crazed woman who sneaks around and steals wine. You put the bottle of Rosè down on the bar table and straightened up trying to muster up a smile as well as courage to get yourself out of this embarassing situation "Umm...Hi Yuvraj" You spoke, your voice coming out like a soft squeak which only led to more embarassment for you. Yuvraj smirked listening to you speak and now took a step closer towards you, standing only a few steps away from you. He raised an eyebrow, eyeing you with the glass of wine and spoke casually, his voice deep and cool "To what do i owe the pleasure of having you in my bar, Madam?" He said with an almost teasing smile, his dimples peeking out. You tensed up, now feeling a little nervous with the embarrassment. You looked away, lowering your eyes as if not looking at him would make him disappear somehow and your fingers fiddling with the neck of the wine glass in your hands. Not knowing what to do or say, you decided it would be best to apologise and take your leave from there so you took a deep breath and spoke in a single breath "I-I'm sorry!" Then you hesitantly looked up at him, Yuvraj now had a full blown grin on his face as if he had been enjoying seeing you in this predicament. He chuckled after a few seconds and whispered under his breath "How absolutely adorable..."
