CHAPTER 3

Arjun's long arm reached over her head and pushed open the study door. He stood aside for her to enter. Arohi loved this room, and even after all this time she still imagined the spirit of her father in the air.

Arohi seated herself stiffly on the sofa and nervously asked " So what was it that's so vital that it can't wait until Monday", Suddenly being with Arjun alone in a room seemed very threatening. Arohi watched as he strolled towards her and started feeling butterflies in her stomach as his hazel eyes slid over her with an electrifying sensualness. " You have grown into an incredible attractive woman". " Really Arjun if you brought me into the study to practise your regular chat up lines then forget it. Unfortunately, I am immune to your brand of charm", she lied.

" Really Arohi, I think we need to put your immunity towards my charms to test then'...who knows. I might bring them to senses again" Arjun remarked with a hint of mockery in his voice.

"Please Arjun can we get back to business. I am really running out of patience now" Arohi had to bite back hard to stand her ground.

"I really do not have time for flirtation at the minute. I need to fly to New York tonight for an important business meeting and hence was the detour to see you" Arjun drawled with an element of seduction in his deep voice. When it comes to Arohi he just can't help it. He very well knows that Arohi is the only woman who can drive him to ultimate distraction, only if she could ever understand his love, his concern for her." I will not be in Mumbai for at least the next two weeks. But before I go'" Slipping his hand into his pocket he withdrew a document and a pen. " The reason for my whistletop visit. As of tonight my trusteeship ends and you are the outright owner of thirty-percent of Sharna & Singhania Enterprises " Placing the parchment on the coffee table, he indicated where she was required to sign.

'Oh! I see' Taking the pen she scribbled her signature where he indicated. So he had not called simply because it was her birthday and now the business suit made sense. For a brief moment Arohi felt a swift stab of disappointment. He was the last person she wanted to see on her birthday yet somewhere deep down she was very pleased to know that he has remembered it and has come down to wish her. But'."Good heavens Arohi' she chided herself. It was a relief surely that she will not have to be around Arjun when she starts. But as he continued speaking her relief was over taken by a rising anger.

" I have arranged with Mr Shetty, the manager of our Mumbai office for you to start working as an assistant to his PA, Polly Rai.

You will like her. She is a great woman"

"Wait, just a minute". Arohi interrupted, angrily. At other time she might have found the startled expression in his eyes amusing but right now she was too furious." As of now I own a large slice of Sharma & Singhania enterprises", Shoving the document back at him she continued " And I have no intention of starting work as somebody else's personal assistant. I have not spent the last three years of my life studying hard to get a first class degree in Accountancy to be a junior clerk. I am no longer the teenager you knew. I am an intelligent adult woman and I intend to take an active part in my company. I will start as a junior partner. Anything else. I am not interested".

Her dark eyes glittered with anger. But what more could she have expected from Arjun, the great control freak. She just couldn't believe this man. No discussion, no asking about her opinion'typical Arjun. Do this ! Live here! Have this Friend!

" Damn it Arohi. Don't be so stupid. There is no way a girl of twenty-one, however brilliant, can just walk into a company as a partner. I run the business and I have made you a wealthy woman in the process. In fact you dont need to work at all. But if you must you have to follow the way I say" barked Arjun

"No way" she spat back. Her anger rising.

His hands grabbed her wrists and she felt the pressure of his fingers biting into her flesh. She looked into his hard face and recognised the resolute expression there but she refused to be intimated by it.

" My way. Understand?' he said tersely.

"Oh yes, I understand very well Arjun Singhania. Keep little Arohi in her place or she is out of the business altogether. So that you can become the absolute dictator, the tyrant you have always been. My God! You were even prepared to marry me, simply to keep your all-powerful position in the company, until I realised up to what you were actually after. It was indeed a narrow escape for me that your true picture came to me before we were married". Tears swelled in her eyes as all these bitter words came out.

His hazel eyes widened in astonishment and then narrowed in anger as the implications of her words registered in his brain. " At last the truth is coming out. You broke our engagement not because I was too old for you..'your desertion had nothing to do with my age. You simply made me look like a fool by not turning up after our engagement because you had some crazy idea regarding my intentions". Arjun snarled and jerking at her hands, he dragged her towards him.. "You broke our engagement because you thought that I was trying to control and take over your share of the company. You simply did not trust me"

"I only wish Arjun if that was the reason. I only wish '" comtemplated Arohi in her mind as she turned away from him. She could not have looked into his eyes and continue with this farce any more. Yes during that time she had come up with the excuse of their age difference being the only reason but definitely that was not the main reason. She never thought that Arjun will ever buy into this silly reason knowing how much she has loved him once but seemed like still he does so.

Twisting her around, he pushed her flat on her back on the sofa. " So Miss Arohi Sharma you were saying that you are an adult now so a more adult punishment is called for what you have done to me" By looking at Arjun's ferocious avatar confusion replaced her earlier anger and she could hear the thunder of her own heartbeat. She saw his expression as he bent over her. " No" she cried, and then his face became a twisted blur as his hand tangled in her long hair and his hard mouth fastened on hers in a long grinding kiss. Arohi fought against him with all the strength she possessed. Her small hands pushed at his mighty shoulders and when that had no effect she dug her fingers into the nape of his neck. The moment she touched him she gasped for air and taking full advantage of her parted lips ,his mouth covered her again. His full weight came down on top of her ,crushing her. Arohi was no match for his superior size and strength, and worse she could feel the cravings in her body giving in to his tempting fiery passion. She could feel her body urging towards Arjun and to balance himself he grasped the front of her dress and tore the chiffon exposing her camisole underneath. The tearing of the material brought Arohi's passion-dulled mind back to her senses and she lifted her hand and raked her long nails down the side of his face.

'What the hell'? As Arjun reared back she took her chance and slid from under him. She backed away from where he sat rubbing his hand against his cheek. Her breasts heaving and her face flushed as she watched him warily. He looked down in almost amazement at the blood on his hand and then back up to Arohi with glittering hazel eyes. " Ouch you drew blood" But then seeing her struggling to mend her torn dress he just quietly handed his jacket to her. But Arohi was in no mood for thanking .She tilted her head up and said " Serves you right.. ..you attacked me" She had no idea how aroused or attractive she looked to the seated man.

For a long moment they stared at each other, the sexual tension in the air almost tangible.

Arjun finaly broke the contact. He looked down at the floor and said quiety" Yes I did and I apologise."

Arohi's bewildered eyes searched his handsome face. Arjun apologising was unheard of. "You apologise?' she questioned as if she didn't believe what she was hearing.

"Yes"said Arjun. He glanced at her with a look in his eyes that she could not understand. "I am really sorry. I am a lot older than you and I should have more control. But in all these years we have known each other it never entered my head that you did not trust me Arohi"...

Before Arohi could say anything Arjun shrugged his shoulders, completely dismissing the question of trust and straight away changed the topic to her work as if nothing has happened. This is the real Arjun, Arohi thought, the one who is not only cut throat in business but also ruthless in his private life. "Talking of business, I should have explained in more detail your position in the company. I was in too much of a hurry. But please try and understand that you will not be just working a junior clerk. You will get to see every aspect of Mumbai office and get to know all the staff personally. If you just walk in as a junior partner there might be resentment. Do you want that? The snide remarks about nepotism at work?"

Arohi who was still reeling from the totally unexpected explosion of passion between them and her own shameful reaction to Arjun was completely taken aback by Arjun's concern for her. She had not thought about it from that angle, but hated to admit that Arjun had a valid point. " No, no I don't," she said quietly.

" You are right Arjun" she admitted. " It was really ambitious of me to think that I could just walk in as a junior partner without any reactions. But I do want to learn everything and perhaps eventually even I can visit the overseas offices too or may be even work in one". As she knew that since Arjun has taken over he has expanded the business enormously. Arjun Singhania's name was regularly featured in the financial newspapers all over the world and the meteoric rise of Sharma & Singhania was constantly mentioned. The more she thought about it, the more she liked the idea. "May be next year this time it will be me going to New York".

"Why not?" Arjun stood up and crossing to where she stood, took her hands in his once again, " Next week Mumbai, next year the world"

Arohi tilted her head back to look up into his face, her expression serious. " Are you teasing, or do your really think I can do it?" she asked in a voice surprisingly calm considering the way her pulses in her wrists were racing beneath his fingers.

He released her hands and dropped a swift kiss on the top of her head. " I think ,Arohi, you will always do best in whatever you set your mind to , and the world had better look out". " You as well" she grinned up at him , mischief dancing in her eyes" I might decide to take your job"

Arjun mouth twitched and then he chuckled " You are some woman. Arohi". For a moment they forgot the inherent tension. It seemed time has flown back and they were just enjoying each other's company like old times. But the ticking of the clock forced Arjun back to reality.

' I really must be going"

Withdrawing a small velvet box form his trouser pocket, he dropped it into her hand." Happy Birthday once again and good luck for Monday. I will be in touch". Turning , he started for the door.

" Wait I will see you out". She hurried after him, returning his jacket back. But he stopped her with a hand on her shoulder." Not a good idea Arohi, unless you want your friends to get the wrong idea.

" My friends?' She had no idea what he meant. " Have a look in the mirror before mingling again , darling'." Arjun drawled softly and after unlocking the door he went, his laughter ringing in her ears.
