The Stolen Past - KR SS (COMPLETED)

She sat on the chair, a havoc running through her mind, there were just two choices: either she had to do it, or not. The door hinge clutched, and in stepped the man she was dreading to see. Why had he come now? To ask whether she had changed her mind?

"Hello Dolcezza" he spoke

"Why are you here?" she spoke flatly without sparing any second thoughts to the man.

"I was just passing by so I thought of asking whether you have made up your mind or not?" he spoke.

She sucked in a breath. "I have not"

"Well, you better do that, you just have two more days you know" he spoke, and then he hushed in her ear "plus such offers don't last very long"

She turned to face him, and then trembled seeing the proximity they were sharing, not to forget, his lips were just centimetres away from hers, and his warm breathe was brushing softly on her face.

"I'm not one of your s**ts Mr Singhania" she spoke

He curved his lips into what it seemed like a smirk "I never said you were"

"You better keep that in mind" she spoke with steel in her voice.

"Trust me, I will my little virgin" he said

She looked elsewhere, he seemed so confident about everything that it scared her at times. Ignoring the fear which was skating on her skin by now, she said. "Just because I need your help doesn't really mean that you use me"

"But I'm ready to face the consequences" he said

"For how long?" she said her big eyes boring into his.

"Forever" his eyes displayed a bit of affection, as though he would be there. But she just knew that he was not the one to trust. She could not lean to him, she just knew she couldn't.

"and that's supposed to reassure me?" she breathed out.

"If you're reassured then yes," he said "but Kriya, you can trust me"

For a moment she felt guilty, for accusing him before. She felt a pinch of regret. "I don't know you" was all she said as her head hung low in embarrassment.

"I do know my limits" he spoke flatly.

And then she saw him moving out, never turning back as if to say that he didn't care. For a moment she was sure, she had to accept it. Money- was something she needed now, and Reyaansh Singhania was the man to handle it. In a fraction of second she called Julianne

"Hello Ju?" she asked.

"Yeah, speak" said Julianne.

"What if I get the money in a month?" she asked.

"Perfecto then!" said Julianne "I would handle the paper work"

"Great, then" she said

"But don't mind me asking, but where are you getting the from?" asked Julianne.

"Um," Kriya did not feel the need to disclose the source just yet. "I think I will speak to you later, sorry"

"Oh yeah, its okay" said Julianne.

She disconnected the call and then with all her will power she took the pen in her hand, promising to do it this time. Memories she had spent with him ran through her mind, she knew this was not going to be easy, but he was a man of his words, if he said that he would face the consequences, he definitely would. She didn't know whether it was right or wrong, for at the moment, it seemed the only right thing to do. She needed money, and the source could only be Reyaansh Singhania.

She took out her cell phone and dialled his number "Um, Reyaansh? You have a minute?"

"Speak, you have five seconds" he said

"I think I will sign the papers. Now" she spoke hesitatingly,

"I never knew I had this coming" he chuckled. "Listen, I have my conference in five minutes, you can come up to my office and then we can.." before he could complete, she interrupted.

"I have a better idea. Why don't you take the leave of the required days and pick me up when you leave office this evening? I can pack up my bags you know", she spoke

"Great Dolcezza, see you" he said and she could imagine him smiling.

She disconnected the call, and took the pen in her hand, without a second thought, she signed the papers"unaware of the upcoming consequences. She sat on her bed and thought about it, did she really want to sleep with a guy like Reyaansh Singhania? Like really? She thought about it for a moment and then she just knew she shouldn't have signed the papers. she held her face in her palms and all she could think was "What have I done!"

Evening arrived sooner than she had expected. She called him up again.

"Seems like someone can't wait, eh?" he asked.

"Reyaansh, when are you coming??" she asked.

"Half an hour you could say" he said.

"Okay, I need to talk" she said hesitatingly and disconnected the call.

He walked in her little apartment, and for a moment she felt shy. as though she couldn't say it at all, she knew she was going to cause a blunder here.

"Where are your bags Dolcezza?" he asked with questions in those eyes.

"I haven't packed them yet" she said looking down

"Is-Is something wrong?" he asked, and she could see him moving closer, for a moment she was afraid, how am I going to say it? She questioned herself.

"Reyaansh, I know I signed the contract and it includes my virginity. But, can we-we make out when you know, I'm a bit comfortable with you? I mean, I have never done this before and it just.." before she could speak he interrupted,

"It's okay, I don't want to force you into anything, just tell me when you feel alright my little virgin." He blinked twice, his eyes were promising, and for a minute she did not feel nervous at all.

"Th-Thank you" she said.

"Oh you're always welcome dolcezza, no one would disappoint a pretty girl like you" he smiled.

"I will just pack my stuff, in a moment." She said.

She did not know what to do or say, right now, she just explored a totally different side of him, she had always known him as the "Playboy" right from the school days, but now, he seemed to be a totally different man. Someone she had never met before.

__________________________________________

She stared at herself in the mirror. What did he see in her?

Her eyes were large, almost almond sized one could say. Her lips were way too thin and nose little. She had wavy black hair. No, nothing attractive there either.

She looked down at herself, a simple black dress, which ended precisely on her knees and had net sleeves. No, not even a bit exposing, her insides were red. She wore her lacy black golden stripped heels and long silver earrings, a large black watch in her right hand, and just a touch of mascara in her eyes. She never found make up interesting. For her, it seemed fake.

He knocked the door "May I come in?"

She quickly stuffed her mobile into the black handbag she was carrying, along with the rest of the stuff "I'll be there"

Once she opened the door she was ,left wide eyed, his broad physique covered in the grey shirt he was wearing, she could make out his abs, even though he wore a jacket to cover them, he was leaning against the door frame with a smirk adoring his face. The colours black and grey went perfectly with his sun kissed skin.

He freaking looked like an actor from those big screen, with those streaks of hair falling on his forehead. Sometimes she wished she could be as lucky as him to have green spears hers was simple plain brown-nothing attractive.

"You don't look dressed like a high profile party" he said

"I never knew we were heading there" she said.

"I did mention" he shrugged a shoulder.

"You did not" she retorted.

"You wanna go back and change?" he asked.

"No, I don't like changing many times and I think I look just fine" she said facing elsewhere.

"Ah, but fine won't do. You're my date. You need to look like one of those supermodels out there" he said.

"I just think I need to look like me" she said "Besides that, you could easily get one of those supermodels as your date, why didn't you?"

His smirk widened. "What if I didn't want to?"

"If only you wouldn't have wanted to, you won't be standing here and comparing me to one of your s**ts" came an instant reply.

"You're going to be one soon" he said and he could see "hurt" pasted on her face. Right from the start she had made it clear that she was not one of his wh**es, so how could he think so?

"I'm not one of your s**ts Mr Singhania, and I think I made it pretty clear right when we made this deal" she said

For a moment he looked down. "Well, people make mistakes" he said.

"But such mistakes are not forgiven" she said

"I'll keep that in mind" he turned away and headed towards the lift and for a moment she was guilty, she was his date after all-The Reyaansh Singhania. Multinational Industrialist

"Do-Do you want me to change into something better?" she hesitated.

He turned back and looked at her for a minute "If you don't have a problem. It would be a pretty high profile party."

"I will see if I can find something better" though she knew there was nothing better.

"Don't you think I should help you?" he asked and for a moment she felt ashamed.

"Being honest, I don't have much to wear" she shrugged.

He smiled "Don't worry, we could get you one"

For a moment she was silent "whatever you say"

"Just get me some Calvin Klein or something" she ordered.

"Excuse me ma'am?" asked the shop keeper.

She turned to Rey with a hopeless stare.

"Get us something coffee, or brown or a shade of beige" he said

"But sire those colours are not in vogue" said the girl.

"Yes" he nodded "But these colours will go with the girls eyes"

The shopkeeper smiled, then turned to Kriya with a look that said you're so lucky'

"Plus we need some make up, shoes. Handbag, and accessories" he said.

The girl took Kriya. And what came next shivered her. The dress was silk, which she could honestly never afford. It showed off a bit of cleavage, and ended somewhere near her mid theighs. Not that sit was looking weird, it was totally beautiful on her, the way her slim waist was highlighted.

And once she was out, he couldn't believe what he saw, sleek waist, long hair, and her complexion was a beautiful mixture with the dress. He didn't mind to take away the luscious gaze which travelled on her curves, studying her carefully.

She was waiting for him to speak something, and when she could hear nothing she finally said "This will do?"

"You'll do" he nodded "U have a nice figure, should expose it sometimes" he wanted to compliment further but was afraid that she might not like it.

____________

Once they were there, he snaked his hand on her back making her more nervous than she actually was, "Feeling good love?" and she could just smile.

The truth was, that she found it miserable how everyone treated her as a thing'. And soon he made her meet so many people that her lips were actually paining from smiling.

"Reyaansh, Can we just.." before she could complete he said

"Move out quietly?" he asked and she nodded "No. these people, everyone will help us in the business."

"I'm just tired of smiling" she said.

He got her a glass of red wine "Here, my favourite. Thought you'd like it"

"I, uh, don't drink" she said. Her consciousness was all she needed now to help her make her will strong enough not kiss him.

"Yeah, I could get that the day you drank orange juice all night you in that party" he grinned.

She giggled. "yeah, and the way you coaxed me to buy drinks" she shook her head.

"I could barely recognize you, I mean, who would say you were the girl with big black spectacles on the first bench" he said "you've changed so much. and yet, you're so same"

She stopped smiling, she could just look in his eyes, and they reflected how honestly he spoke. No matter how hard she tried to convince herself that it was simply a flatter she found herself not convinced at all. there was this thing about this guy that kept attracting her.

"And who would say that I was your crush back those days. I bet you loved my looks" he grinned.

She smiled and then spoke "I fell in love with your personality Reyaansh, your looks were just a plus"

And for a moment he forgot smiling. He just stood there numb, still into the effects of what she'd said, until one of colleagues came up to them "Sir would you and ma'am like a dance?"

"No, thank you" he said, not even asking her once, she so wanted to dance with him today, last time she had had a little dance with him in her prom, and right now she felt herself craving for it.

"Sorry, would you like to dance? I thought you might feel uncomfortable so.." he said

"No, I'm fine" she smiled.

She was discovering a new person in him, someone who was much more than a rich celebrity. She liked this part of him and she did not believe why she had hated him so much earlier.

"Would you like to.. you know, move out silently?" he smiled.

"Yeah, surely" she nodded.

____________________________

"So, what are your plans after you get the money?" he asked

"I am planning to start a company or something, I left everything back in order to start everything afresh." She smiled.

"Not planning to see your family?" he asked.

"No" came an instant response.

"Why don't you want to go back to your parents?" he asked and she was hesitant for a moment.

"Because everything back home reminds me of Rehan. Everything is so the same, mom dad everyone keep talking about how I should forgive him and stuff. You know, it seems like everyone I like has to find someone younger and dumber." She took a breath. "I admit I haven't got a perfect body type or the prettiest face but I'm still me"

And the next moment he found himself cursing for asking such question, he was not here to remind her of the past. He was here to make her believe that a future was waiting. Better and beautiful. But everytime he seemed to mess things up.

He reached out for her hand and spoke "Look, I don't know who this Rehan guy is, but what I do know is that he was a complete jerk and you just deserve.. someone better. In fact the best. And trust me that face and that body of yours kept me awake for many long nights" he winked.

She found her cheeks going hotter. She was surely turning into a beautiful shade of red. "Th-Thankyou." She smiled "and, today while they danced, I couldn't help but remember the day we danced together. Remember our prom?"

He nodded "I do, and how I messed it up with Julie that day"

"She was schools known wh**e" she said "but anyways, I wanted to dance with you today"

The next moment she saw him placing his glass of wine down and stretching out his hand to her. "May I?" he asked.

"You may" she smiled giving in.

Being this close to him, she could smell his rich cologne. And see the new growth of beard on his chin, how desperately she wanted to touch it, and there were times when she didn't know what was happening, she just laid her head back on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

He lifted her up and the moment she came down he inched forward and crashed his lips over hers gently. She could feel a rise of spark inside herself as his lips met hers, the way his hands crawled on her skin she couldn't help but feel a little clinch of her heart. But the next moment he pulled away.

She wanted to question him, but realized she was no one to ask. She was his pretended "Girlfriend". She had no rights over him to protest why he'd backed off.

"I'm so sorry, its just that I got a little carried away and.." he breathed out "I know I should've remembered my limits and I'm sorry"

She felt ashamed for liking it. She looked away from him and said "It's okay,"

"You want to go to the Yacht?" he asked.

"I won't mind staying either" she said.

He nodded. He knew she enjoyed the little moment they shared but he still wanted her to make sure of her decisions first. He didn't want to do anything that she might regret in the future. She had many regrets already..

The drive back to the yacht was pretty silent. She could feel the sense of uneasiness in the air. There were times when his leg brushed against her and she shivered, not that she was scared of males or something-it was just him. he had this capability to make her nervous even by being in the same room as hers.

"Um, would you like something to eat?" he asked "Burger or something like that?"

"No I'm full" she smiled.

"Okay" he nodded.

Both did not know how to keep the conversation going. She was pretty much poor and he was pretty much rich, it was obvious, that they never belonged.

"Do you think we should talk about what we did.. with, err, our mouths?" she asked

"No, we've sorted it out before. I just got a little carried away, sorry" he spoke.

"You weren't at the fault alone" she said and for a moment she could just look in his eyes, he had that look, or the avid gaze she should say, taking everything in.

Her voice was thin and reedy, as though the confession was everything that mattered to her. She looked so guilty and nervous that for a minute he just wanted to scoop her up in his arms and kiss her gently, tell her that everything was going to be fine and she didn't need to worry, he wanted to tell her that he won't harm her, in anyway, but then again, he couldn't say and stayed silent.

"Do you, err, want to say something?" she asked and for a moment he was shocked "You look like you're holding back something"

He looked away for a minute, and then he decided he had to do it, or he won't sleep the entire night. She had already kept him awake for many nights. He turned to her and her expressions were hard to read. They were a mix of emotions and he did not know what he must or must not do at the moment.

He curled his hand up her right cheek and urged forward, close to her, at the same moment he encircled his left arm around her waist and pulled her forward, so quick that a gasp almost left her mouth. He was inches away from her and yet he was nervous, it just felt so right. He opened his eyes to check on her and found her tilting her face with eyes already closed. He felt weak for a second and then silently kissed her.

She did not know how to react, she wasn't very experienced in such fields. But the way his lips synchronized with hers she knew it was just the right thing to do, he was pushing her further, and at the same time he wasn't hurting her at all. The kiss was passionate and she never knew why she felt the sparks when he touched her. not that it wasn't good, yes, she was enjoying it. But at the same time she was afraid that he might back away soon the way he had before.

But what she didn't know was that this time he was determined to make it happen, he could not get his desires under control, he felt her clutch the piece of his collar as much as her little palms would allow, and the way she did that, he knew she was excited by the anticipation.

He pulled away cursing his respiratory system, she was catching up on her breath, and he could just look at her, she seemed so innocent, so pure that he felt a need to know her, what exactly happened to her past years that she was ready to be with him for money. She caught his stare and flushed in embarrassment.

"See Kriya.." he started off but was interrupted.

"No, I know you didn't mean to" she said ignoring his gaze which seemed to create a hole on her face.

"I wanted to say that I'm not ashamed of what I did." He said

He could see her biting back a smile "I liked it too"

He smiled "Have you ever kissed anyone?" he asked.

"I-I'm not much experienced" she confessed.

"You're a great kisser" he smiled and saw her pressing her lips and suppressing what it seemed like a tight smile.

"Well, I've kissed many of my teddy bears before" she shrugged.

"What number? Since you have so many of them I guess it must be Teddy Bear #44?" he laughed at her insecurity.

"Well, I can't help it. They are always so cute, plus I don't really spend on going out or dressing so they are the least of my expenses" she smiled at him.

"That's cute. You're cute, actually" he said pulling one of her cheeks.

And she couldn't help but blush, hiding away her face "Wait, that's it? I've honestly tried the whole day flirting with you and got absolutely nothing. And then I say the cheesiest thing ever and you go red like a tomato?"

"I-I'm not blushing" she objected.

"But you are kitten" he said

"I'm not a kitten" she said and he could just grin, "I can do much more than that"

"Like what?" he grinned.

"Like maths, I can do maths, and cook and talk which an animal can't" she said

"God you really are that naive, aren't you?" he asked with a smirk.

"I'm not naive. I'm..." she could not find the right word. "attractive either."

"Yeah, you are until you open your mouth" he said and she shot him a glare.

"Shut up, that's so un-manlike man manners" she said and then realized what she had just said.

"Un-manlike manners? Really Kriya? Is that even a word?" he laughed

And she could just look at him "It might be. You never know" she shook her head.
