Chapter 1

Her mother kept a firm hand on her shoulder "Its going to be alright. Don't worry, you'll find a job"

"Except that I won't" She snapped "And this isn't about that, its about dads death, it was always about dad's death. Tell me how it was just fair?"

"Kriya, No one is to blame, bribing is really common these days and there's nothing we can do about that okay?" Her mother said

"Except that we can. We can do something mom, I'll make that man pay." She said "What was his name again?"

"Kriya you're not doing anything okay" Her mother said

"Its not that I'm going to kill him or make him lose something, I'll just make him realize his own deeds" she said intertwining her fingers

"Stop being so disgusting Kriya" her mother said

"So I'm the one who's being Disgusting now? What about that unholy fellow who doesn't even know what he's doing?" she reasoned

"Promise me you won't cause him any harm?" her mother said

"I promise I won't" she said "But right now, I just have to make him realize that everything cannot be counted on credit and debit"

"Kriya please-" her mother was interrupted

"Mom i'll be leaving in an hour, get the food ready" She said

"At least listen to me!" her mother objected

"Not interested mom" she snapped and left away.

She held her face in her palms and soon she could hear her own silent sobs, her mother was continuously knocking the door and all she was doing was shooing her away. Kriya was worried, and she herself wasn't a fool to not build a high proof plan, yes she did have one : To torture Reyaansh Singhania so much that he commits a suicide.

The next morning she was there at Colombia, her sunglasses firmly rested on her nose and her hair was done in a quick bun. She was not afraid-she was just worried, worried about what was going to take place and if Reyaansh Singhania gets a slight clue of what was going to happen, she could swear that that would be the end of her life.

We're here at Colombia airport.. please do not... keep your... hope you.. see you soon aboard on Singapore Airlines'

She heard the announcement into bits and as soon as she felt the plane land she shot up from her seat.

She had heard from everyone around that Reyaansh was a very stubborn man, that he had many scars on his high toned body and that he didn't appreciate many visitors.

The clouds were grey and so was her mood, she had been wondering about what was about to take place, but had she ever thought about the upcoming miser abilities? About the pain she was going to face? No! She didn't.

She kept her suitcase right in front of his huge entrance gate and checked herself for the thousandth time as if to make sure if she was looking pretty much corporate, she had her fake files ready with signatures of various heads of several departments, she had her fake work history ready with signatures of several CEO's she had been insisting.

She had everything right in her suitcase, it was about the time when she rang the doorbell and was waiting for a response when sudden strong winds started to blow, she was waiting for a response and hoping that someone would open the door, she wanted to ring the bell again but was afraid that it might not leave a very professional impression.

It soon started pouring and she could feel the thick drops hit her with a speed even she was surprised to see, hastily, she rang the bell again this time with a little hope that he would open but he did not.

The storm was bitter, by the time he would open, she was strikingly wet, her shirt was stuck to her petite body giving a clear view of her insides and her skirt was soaking every drop. She did not know how to make him answer the door, she had started to think that maybe he was simply not at his place but her blood boiled when she saw him in the kitchen window merely cooking a snack for himself.

"Would you open the freaking door?" she yelled

"I am afraid i won't. Why should i after all? Your not-so-good name please?" his voice was tough

"Can't you see a girl totally drenched in the rain on your very own doorstep" she screamed "Do you still think it's the appropriate time for introductions?"

"I was taught not to open the door for intruders like you are, how do I know, you might be a serial killer?" he shrugged his shoulders, crossing both his arms across his chest

"You Moron!" she screamed at the top of her lungs "How can a pretty lady of 23 wrapped in a skirt seem a serial killer to you?"

The rain was getting heavier, and he could see the little frame of a female right at his doorstep, he wanted to open the door but was enjoying this, he held back a smirk when heard her screaming things

"How would I know? I haven't seen a serial killer before" he said

She felt something weird, like that of a dizzy sensation within her, her knees turned into rubber as she soon realized that the image started going blur, she held the door for support but it did no good, for before she knew she was partially touching the ground and was partially held by something: though she didn't know what,

She approached the cemented floor and soon everything went blank.

"Oh shit" he mumbled. and caught her head to prevent it from bleeding. He held her in his strong arms, and brought her indoors. Her skin was freezing cold, maybe due to the weather outside? He didn't know.

He placed her on the mattress and knew that if she stayed in her wet threads for long, her health could be affected, could it be something severe? He didn't know. He cursed himself for being the asshole he was and allowing her to stay outside when he could easily let her in.

"Girl" he spoke. And shook her head several times

Grabbing all her willpower he slapped her little face, only to make it turn left, her body didn't respond to anything, she seemed dead.

He called up the doctor but soon realized that the signal was dead due to the pouring rain, and the heavy storm. He tried to study various books on what he should do and came to a realization that he should first get her out of those wet threads.

But how?

He didn't know, how could he possibly strip her clothes down? It won't be very appropriate for any man, may it be him. He thought of various scenarios about how she could react once she woke up and came to a decision that maybe all he needed to do was to get her out of those threads.

He started unpinning her shirt discovering a black lace inside. He gulped, this was going to be hard. For gods sake, he was man not a saint! He unpinned it further and got it out of her, discovering a very flat stomach and a provocative cleavage.

"Oh shit Oh shit Oh shit" he cursed.

Next he unzipped her skirt, getting it out of her long legs which were heavily tanned. he gulped harder, she was left in her essentials, and he didn't have a will strong enough to strip them down and not touch her, damn it! she seemed beautiful! Long legs, filthy thin stomach, and the various other things.

To stop treating his eyes and getting distracted which was more like getting seduced, he covered her in thick layers of blankets and sheets, he gazed at her face and hair which was also, drenched in rain.

He brought a towel and opening her long jet-black hair he started to dry them, and it was not easy, her hair was long and thick, it didn't even come in his hand. He dried it up and then gently wiped off the water on her face with the towel.

He switched on the heaters, and left the room without sparing a second glace towards the girl who he just met.

Later when he went to check on her while sipping his brew, he could see her sitting on his bed and managing her hair which was totally dry by now, her stomach and cleavage was slightly visible and it was a treat for his eyes.

"So, How was Hibernation?" he commented

She covered her partially naked body with the blanket "Stop staring me atleast" she said

He twitched his lip "Why in the world would i stare you of all people?"

"Because I'm sexy, and because you're not gay" she retorted

"People have false beliefs" he rolled his eyes

She touched her under pants and shot him a horrified look then asked "Where did my clothes go? did you seriously.." he interjected

"I did not sexually assault you.. if that's what you're thinking" he stated

"Of course you didn't !" she said sarcastically "And now you'll tell me that you stripped off my clothes to play poker with me right?"

"Oh, absolutely" he pulled a straight face "Are you crazy or did you fell upside down on your head while you were a kid? Can't you understand simply that I got you out of those clothes because they are pouring wet and your health might get affected?"

She rolled her eyes "Disgusting" she mumbled

"Yeah, that's what you are" he said

Her face flushed "Can you please get me some clothes?" she asked

"Yeah I sure can, though i can't get a perfect size" he said

Handing her his old night suit he asked when she was done changing "So how and why are you here?"

"I came here for a job" she said "there in the suitcase are my previous files and some details about me."

"Geez, I never knew you were here to become a typist with extremely low salary amount" he said

"A Typist? But the newspaper said that you wanted a financial consultant as well as a assistant, with a nice pay" she said

He smirked "I hadn't thought that a girl like you could match that salary amount to her standards"

Yeah, she never thought either, but what could she possibly do?

"Well, I'm desperately in need of a job" she shrugged.

"So," he said sitting opposite to her "Why were you fired in the first place?"

"I wasn't actually" she retorted "The company I was working in got shut unexpectedly, so, i had to get myself employed"

"Where are you from?" he asked

"Born and Bought up in Singapore" she said

"Don't tell me you're here just for a job?" he asked

"I came here to try my luck" she smiled "Does it always rain here?"

"Columbia stays dripping in downpours." He said

She nodded.

"Getting back to the topic" he said "Why should I employ you?"

"You can check the remarks left by my previous heads. I've always been pretty good" she said

"And pretty ambitious" he remarked, reading her files

"So" she said "What do you think?"

"I think yes" he handed her file back to where it belonged "You can start from tomorrow, my previous consultant would give you the initial instructions, and well, too bad I never had an assistant before, so you will have to teach yourself. Any questions?" he finished

"Just one" she said "What will you offer?"

For a moment his mind ran in all wrong directions, wondering what she actually meant. But then giving his head a harness shake he said "Uh, you mean you would want to stay here?"

"Since the salary you offer is so low that it would barely last one of my shopping spree's, and I don't think hotels are that cheap in Colombia, or are they?" she asked

He looked away, she was looking at him with observant eyes, as if capturing each of his movements, he wasn't sure, he wasn't sure to keep his desires in control if she was going to tag along all the time.

"The spare room, needs cleaning, plus I have some of the old stuff.." she interjected before he could complete

"Such as..?" she asked

"Such as some old stuff, my old TV, old computer, and such electronical appliances there, I will get it ready by tomorrow, and the I turned the first floor totally into Attic so, for today I think you should get back to where you came from" he said

"How intelligent Mr Singhania" she remarked sarcastically "Did you actually think that I was gonna travel in this harsh weather conditions?"

"Yeah right, so you should better go and sleep in the hallway because i don't share my bed. May it be anyone" he said pointing to the door

She thought for a moment and then with a hopefull expression looked at him in the eye "Really Mr Singhania ? Are you really gonna leave me all alone in that dark and lonely hallway?"

"Don't you think that it would be too much stubborn for miserable me?" she again cooed.

"Melodramatic" he rolled his eyes "Fine Fine whatever-your-name-is! You can stay here, I'll move out"

"Its Kriya" she said "and why do you have to move out? You have such a king sized bed. Lets share it, 50-50?" she said

"I'll sleep on the couch" he said

"and disturb Kriya at night by falling down and getting up there then falling down again and getting up again. Wow! Nice plan Mr Singhania" she said crossing her arms across her chest.

"First, its Reyansh" he said

"and second?" she looked at him.

"And fine, but conditions are applied, you won't touch me, you won't disturb me by resting you hands or feet on me. you-remain on your side, and I will remain on mine" he said

"Oh My God Mr Singhania, for heaven's sake I'm a girl I don't bite" she giggled

"Whatever" he uttered

Kriya was oblivious with two things, one that Reyaansh Singhania was definitely not the man who could be easily charmed by her

And second that it was going to be a tough night, for both of them.
