It took a hell of an effort for Alex to calm down Riya who seemed to be throwing tantrums like a child.
Alex, at the end of the day, had to ask forgiveness like a child who had done something wrong only to know later that Riya was just acting and teasing him.
Alex didn't know when Riya had developed such a playful nature or if she was just jealous and tried to show it playfully but Alex started to realise one thing which is Riya seemed to have an inferiority complex.
The more time he spent with Riya, the more he figured that Riya thought of herself as inferior when compared to his other wives.
It may be due to her childhood hardships or the way she had grown up but she was really worried about her status.
Cause she knew very well that at the end of the day she was just a maid of Alex and the title of Shadow Queen was just an honorific given to her.
