Chapter 1: First Encounters

Arnav was furious. The girl had decided to ruin his fashion show and now she was running away?

I don't think so

He got on his Bluetooth immediately. "Security! Make sure that girl in the green and pink lehenga doesn't leave the Sheesh Mahal. When you find her, take her up to my room and make sure you lock the doors so she can't get out!"

The press had gathered all around him asking him bothersome questions.

"Who was that girl?"

"Why was she wearing green, when the theme is red?"

"Is she new? Is that why she looked nervous and fell?"

"Was this planned?"

"Where's your original show stopper, Diva?"

ASR wasn't listening to any of these questions, he waded through the crowd and stormed into the building. He went straight up to his room. He slammed the door shut hoping it would calm him down but it didn't. He took off his ascot, his jacket and rolled up his sleeves and waited. He didn't know why he wanted to hurt her but he did. Everything about this place made him violent and all the bad memories came back stronger. He tried not to think about it and calm down but the anger just built up inside him as the seconds went on. Finally he could hear a commotion in the corridor. A girl was shoved into his room. She didn't acknowledge his presence and turned to bang on the door.

"Please let me go. I need to find Abishek Kannah and return for my sister's wedding. I'm late as it is. Please let me go. Please." She kept begging and banging on the door for another 5 minutes before she slumped to the ground and began sobbing. All through this ASR was watching her with a kind of sick pleasure.

Maybe next time she'll think twice before she goes up against Arnav Singh Riazada.

After a while, Khushi became aware that she wasn't alone in the room. She turned around quickly to find Arnav staring at her. She became aware of her situation and tried to fix her dupatta to cover herself more. There was silence. Arnav was staring at her and Khushi was staring at the floor, shifting uncomfortably.

After a while Khushi spoke, "I'm sorry, I didn't know I was thrown into someone's room. Can you please open the door so I can get out?" she asked in a shaky voice.

Arnav took a step towards her and she took one back. They kept at this until she hit the door and finally looked up. She gasped. It was the same man who had caught her when she fell off the stage.

The rest is in my blog.
