PROLOGUE
He was the ruthless king of business
She was princess of beauty!
He was heartless
She had a heart of gold!
He was man ruled by vices
She was an epitome of virtues!
He was polluted
She was pure!
He was a thorn
She was a bud!
Their paths crossed and a spell was cast!
His family prayed for a miracle that would change his life
She was surrounded with people who longed for her destruction!
He was her protector and she was a prey!
He had vowed to keep her safe
But she chose to be destroyed!
He was bewitched by attraction and she surrendered to her love!
Both were Allured!!
One by lust and the other by love ... And the tale unfolded!
********
She rushed as fast as her wounded foot would allow her ... as different voices and words of treacherous people in her lives kept echoing in her mind!
"Aaj toh main tujhe haasil kar ke rahunga..."
"Ek baar woh hamaare kabze mein aa jaaye ... hamaara maksad poora ho jaaye phir jo chahe kar lena..."
"Aaj tumhe mujhse kaun bachayega... ha ha ha ..."
She was trapped! ... She was alone! ... She was lost! ... No one would save her!
Few moments back she had given up all hope that she would be saved from her impending doom! ... But her Babaji had sent her savior who rescued her from the clutches of that monster. Shocked and wounded with the attack on her dignity, she didn't wait even to get a glimpse of her savior and just dashed out of the room.
Struggling in attempt to save herself ... she managed to reach that place which was a forbidden zone! ... But in her vulnerable state with the only strong belief ... that she would be safe here!
... Unknowingly she entered ... The World of Maan Singh Khurana!
A trail of blood droplets guided him to her whereabouts. Curious and confused he gaped at the door as to why of all the places had she entered this very room! Brushing of his thought for time being, he stepped inside unknown to the fact that ... what laid ahead for him!
He followed the bloody trail towards the washroom door. Slowly he opened the door, it was dark in there only the light from the room slightly illumined the washroom. He scrutinized closely and then he found her!
She had hidden herself in one of corners of the washroom below the wash-basin counter. Her trembling form sat there clutching her legs to herself with head buried in them. He walked up to her, squatting near the platform he calmly spoke out.
"Suno... Dekho daro mat ... ab tum safe ho ... bahar aa jao." She stiffened hearing his voice and tried to move back more, thats if it is possible.
He was losing his patience!
"Maan Singh Khurana tumse keh raha hain ...bahar aao." He ordered her sternly
Maan was amused as this time he could feel her relaxing a bit inspite of him raising his tone.
But what he didn't know was ... it wasn't the tone but the name that she trusted ... blindly!
Still seeing no movement from her side Maan bent in further and gently placed his hands on her upper arms just by her shoulder. She shuddered at his touch and buried her face more into her knees. Not waiting anymore for her Maan pulled her out from the corner. To his sheer astonishment she slid out smoothly as if she was weightless!
Maan closely observed her form in the faint light. Her cold hands under his warm palm felt like satin! ... Her fair skin though had a number of bruises and wounds but still shined in the light. Her silky hair were all messed up and strands had loosened out from her braid. Her clothes were torn at various places, sleeves were nearly ripped off, her salwar too was torn and stained by her blood. She was still shivering with fear!
Maan lifted up his hand to the side wall and switched on an overhead light.
"Dekho bahot der ho gayi hain ... tumhare gharwale pareshan ho rahe honge.." He tried again in a bid to make her look up and that did the trick.
She eased her hold on her legs and Maan taking this opportunity instantly cupped her face making her look up and ...
He was blown away by her pure beauty!
Maan's heart skipped a beat as he came face to face with this gorgeous girl before he could gather himself from the initial shock ... she did something which was least expected!
She leaped forward and hugged him tight burying her face in the crook of his neck. A current passed through him as her soft body plastered to him. The impact of the hug was so mighty that he stumbled back a little and barely managed to stable both of them. She sobbed in his arms and he didn't know how to comfort her.
Women for him have always been a medium to fulfill his need! ... He threw money they were ready for him! ... No emotional baggage! ...But...
She had been burdened with lot of emotional turmoil from the past few months, a lot of revelations had shaken her up but today's events had left her alarmed and horrified! Maan's presence had pumped in a new hope that now she was safe and all her emotional outburst prompted her to hug this man who though was a stranger but somewhere she believed that ...he was indeed her savior!
Maan here was lost in fighting a different battle! Her innocent touches, her warm breaths on his nape, her tight hold on his back was arousing him! The beast in him wanted to just claim her right here but the little conscious that resided somewhere in his mighty body wanted to protect her. She seemed young and was in a vulnerable state!
It was his duty to drop her home ... safe!
The ruthless man who knew no emotion was for the first time was feeling protective for this unknown girl ... The man who was driven by lust wanted to safeguard her from himself but ...
The stage was set! ... Non knew what was fated!
Attempting something new
