Dark Love(Arshi ff ) chap-13 updated page (10) - Page 7

Akhash seemed rather confused as he looked at Mr. Abhay Singh Raichand suddenly appearing in their office.

As far as he remembered there was no meeting scheduled for today and as a matter of fact, Arnav wasn't present.

Pushing the thoughts aside, he greeted Abhay with a smile but was rather surprised when he ignored it and asked where Khushi is.

"Khushi??..Why?..I mean she isn't here..Is there any problem Mr. Raichand?"Akhash asked with uncertainty.

Abhay took a deep breath which looked like he was trying to calm himself down.

"Can you tell me where she can be right now? Its a little urgent." Abhay said in a composed manner but his eyes gave away his inner turbulence.

"She has taken a day off, must be at home. "Akhash started.

"She isn't there."Abhay murmured.

"Pardon?" Akhash looked at him, sure he has gone insane.

Shaking his head off and mouthing a small 'thank you', he walked out of HR designs.

Upon reaching the parking lot, Abhay came to a sudden halt. Frustrated, he kicked his car swearing profusely.

Where are you, Khushi?? God dammit!! She is danger. I know it. I just need to find her.

Closing his eyes, he tried to calm himself. He needs to clear his mind to think straight and think of all the possible places she could be.

He was sure that her mom had no idea that she isn't in Belora, so he thought of one person who could know about her whereabouts-Mr. Vivek Gupta

The car sped across the outskirts of Belora and halted in-front of a huge mansion. Abhay stepped down and entered the mansion, not caring to glance upon the security guard who greeted him.

The security guard wanted to question him as to who he really was but his car and the dominating aura he carried spoke volume about him.

He strode across the well-trimmed garden and walked past the broken flower pots,right next to the entrance.

He decided to ignore it but something caught his eyes. Among the destroyed pots, lay a watch, which undoubtedly was of Khushi.

He remembered this unique design Khushi wore, its screen cracked at the exact places,he had seen it, the day Khushi had met with an accident.

Abhay waited impatiently for the door to open, frustrated he was about to kick it when it opened ajar. And the first thing he saw was a disheveled looking Anna tied up to a chair, right in the middle of the living room, facing him.

"What the hell!!" he exclaimed, his eyes widening.

"Hello Mr Raichand" Vivek's voice boomed across the hall and broke Abhay's trance.

Glaring at him, he stepped inside.

"What the hell is going on???"He gritted.

"I was expecting you. And I must say, I would have been rather disappointed if you hadn't turn up"He smirked.

"By the way, meet Anna" he glanced at Anna "She is Khushi's friend"

He walked towards her and stood beside. Lighting his cigarette," I am sure you know her."

Abhay refused to take his eyes away from him, sending him deadly glares.

"Oh..Come on" He waved his hands "Don't look at me like that, it hurts "he mockingly held his chest.

Two days later

Sweta Gupta felt restless for the whole day. She had this uncanny feeling that something was not right and Khushi not picking up her phone made it worse.

Just as she decided that she will contact her office, the door bell rang.

She looked at the clock and wondered why Mrs. Smith came so early from her classes.

Rushing down, she opened the door.

"Rose, why you-" She started but stopped short when she saw ASR standing in-front of her.

But before she could say anything, she felt a sharp object hitting her head.

A gasp left her mouth, holding her head she dropped with a thud. And before she went unconscious she heard him saying "This is just the beginning"
