Chapter 1
The elite & one of the most awaited & prestigious Business Award Function in country was being held in Delhi.The venue was full of renowned Tycoons,industrialists & entrepreneurs.Everyone was trying to be the center of attraction by either flaunting their charms or self preaching in front of others.There were a lot of nomination categories in function for awards.Those who were nominated had got the front tables.Some of them were nervous while some were confident about themselves.
The young Business Tycoon Arnav Singh Raizada was sitting with his brother Aakash & uncle in the very first row,right in front of the stage.His face was glowing with the aura of power & attitude.He was nominated for the Businessman of the year award.He was not at all worried because he was damn confident that this award was his & soon this trophy would be over the shelf in his office among all the other trophies he won time to time.He was surely a hot shot catch.Heir of Raizada empire & devilishly handsome.He got everything that a girl could fantasize.Good looks,money everything.But it was not some cakewalk to get the heartless & arrogant tycoon.
Khushi Gupta,25 years old,called as beauty with brains & nominated for the young entrepreneur,daughter of renowned businessman Shashi Gupta was seated right behind Arnav,with her family.She turned down her father's offer to join him in his business after her management studies & started off by herself from stretch 2 years ago.Today she had established her own company & her name completely on her own.She was intelligent,she was hard working & she was beautiful.In short she was talk of the town & was eligible bachelorrette.But she had refrained herself from any commitment & had turned down a lot of proposals.
People around the venue were chatting & engaged in meet & greet session with each other.There was still time for the function to start.Arnav was also busy in getting along with the people.His uncle was introducing him to some senior & far experienced businessmen & some of his friends from industry.He was meeting with them in well mannered & confident demeanor.Those who met him,admitted to themselves,that this man got something inexplicable about him that was intriguing & dangerously intense.His cold,guarded eyes never gave away his mind but there was something there in him which was promising.
The media was all over the place to cover this important event.They were interviewing the hot shot business families.When they approached Arnav,he denied flatly to open up in front of them.No one ever had succeeded in getting more than a line or two from him.And that's why he was sensation among media & was tagged as reserved tycoon of India by them.
Arnav excused himself after some time & made his way towards the refreshing rooms.He was engrossed in his thoughts while checking something on his phone.He turned into the coridoor leading to washroom & bumped into someone.
"What the f..."
He burst with anger & the person he collided with got startled due to his outburst.He looked up to meet a pair of light brown,big,expressive,doe eyes with long voluminous eyelashes & threaded eyebrows.The girl was standing in front of him in her black Anarkali suit after balancing herself with much efforts.It was Khushi.It was his fault too but he was in no mood to admit it.
"Can't you see & walk?" He snapped angrily at her ignoring her beautiful features & her curvacious body.She was probably the most beautiful girl he had laid eyes on.
"Excuse me?That is the exact question I want to ask you.Can't you see where you are going." Khushi too snapped back at him furiously.
"No one talks to me like that." His anger started rising on her audacity.That chit of a girl was accusing THE ASR.But he was angry on her more for the effect she was having on him.He couldn't tear his eyes off her luscious lips when she talked.He had suppressed the surge to kiss her then & there by putting last ounce of his will power.
"Why?Are you prince of some country?" She said sarcastically & it took the last straw.Never ever had some girl mocked him like she did.Girls in fact use to surrender to him & were willing to do anything to please him.Which he never entertained.But this chit of a girl didn't look impressed by him.Instead she was treating him like he was some any-other-person-on-street whom you pass by & never see their face.How dare she.
"Enough.No more word.I'm not interested in talking with someone like you." His voice boomed in corridor.
"What do you mean by someone like you?Look Mr. whoever your name is.I'm..."
"Shut up dammit.I just don't want to see your face again."
"Fine.I'm not interested either."
"Whatever."
He said & stormed out of corridor towards function hall instead of going to washroom.Khushi returned back to washroom & splashed water on her face to relax herself.She had never met someone so rude & arrogant person like him.Instead of saying sorry he was pouncing on her for absolutely no reason.Khushi came out of the washroom after composing herself & went towards the table where her family was sitting.She saw Arnav sitting ahead of where her family was.His back was at her.She shot angry glare at his direction & scrunched up her nose.'Lord Governor.' She thought to herself & went over to her table.
The function started with a little welcome speech of presenter.Audience applauded as the awards distribution started.After some time it was turn for giving away the Young Entrepreneur Award.
"And the Young Entrepreneur of the year goes to Miss Khushi Gupta." The guest announced & Khushi went forward to receive it.She stood on stage with a glowing face & bright smile.Arnav saw her & there was surprise & appreciation in his eyes.He had not expected this.
Khushi gave her acknowledgement speech after holding her trophy.When she got off the stage she got another round of applause.A lot of people came to her to congratulate her.She sat down after hugging her family & taking blessings from her parents.As soon she settled down on her chair the host announced for the most important award of the evening.The Businessman of the year Award.Everyone sat in complete silence when the guest who was supposed to give away the award,came on stage with mic.He opened the envelope in his hands & smiled widely while reading the intricately written name on it.
"The Businessman of the year goes to none other than Arnav Singh Raizada."
The function hall filled with the loud sound of applauds when Arnav stood up to go towards stage.Everyone congratulated him on his way to stage.He looked towards the people sitting in the hall victoriously but there wasn't rudeness in his eyes.His attitude was talking for him.There was nothing loud about him though.He was just perfection personified.
Khushi heard the name & saw Arnav standing.She gaped at him with open mouth.She was surprised to see him receive the businessman of the year award,would be an understatement.'Arrogant Singh Raizada' She thought bitterly when her encounter with him in corridor flashed in front of her vision.Arnav took the trophy from guest & thanked his uncle & family in just a line.He was well aware of his uncle's contribution in his company.His advice & guidance had helped him a lot of times to make decisions & his family always supported him in his early struggling days.
He climbed down the stage & everyone literally flooded him with congratulations & wishes.He accepted their greetings with his own unique attitude but there was no arrogance in his gesture.He went to his uncle & brother & they hugged him & patted his back with proud.His brother informed the rest of the family about Arnav's award over phone.People were still coming to greet him.
Arnav went towards bar area after sometime to get himself a drink of his choice.He ordered it & sat on a chair.He glanced lazily all around the function hall.Everyone were busy in either chatting or drinking.He turned to look at his right.Two men were there & were looking at the direction of main hall.They were drunk & were talking something.Arnav followed their gaze & saw that they were looking at where Khushi was seated with her family.He turned to look keenly at one of the two men & recognized him instantly.He was Shyam Jha,son of the owner of his rival company.His reputation was pretty spoilt in society & he was infamous as lusty & creepy person.Arnav felt a weird burning sensation in his body as if his blood was boiling.He felt like smashing bottles on that scumbag Shyam's head for eyeing Khushi with lust.He was surprised by his own thought.He has just once met Khushi & the encounter was not at all pleasant.Still he felt like protecting her from that creep.He sneaked towards them to hear what they were talking.
"I'v tipped waiter to spike her drink.That Khushi Kumari Gupta will pay for what she did.She'll know what it costs to turn Shyam Jha's proposal down.I'll take her to my hotel room & then..."
Shyam laughed wickedly with a lusty expression on his face.He gulped the glass full of alcohol down his throat & stood while trying to balance himself.His eyes were fixed on Khushi who was taking a glass of soft drink from a waiter while smiling & oblivious to the plans of Shyam Jha.His evil smile widened when the glass of drink reached Khushi's lips.He mentally celebrated his victory & turned to wink at the other guy.It was time to execute his plan.
