Arnav looked at the clock and saw it showing half an hour left to be 8. He was waiting impatiently for time to pass. Must say he was eagerly looking forward to being with Her.
Arnav was a very good chess player and his game skills were often translated into his business life. Always gained the contract. Always won out over his competitors. And as time passed, his opponents had become weaker. As his skills sharpened, their skills diminished. He always got what he wanted. He never even had to fight very hard to get as many would just bend down and offer his prize to him in a golden platter.
Recently after a very long time, someone had come into his life had questioned him, questioned at his beliefs and his power, his ability to map out his destiny. And to top it all off, she didn't back down. She had stood up to him at every single time. He saw her as one of his worthy opponents. It would be a shame to let her go just like that.
**********************
After hours of shedding tears Khushi stood at the doors of Sheesh Mahal, her heart thumping wildly. She was terrified to step inside. Taking a deep breath she entered Sheesh Mahal just as the clock struck 8. She was led to the living room by a servant. She saw Arnav descending the stairs. He was looked so formidable dressed in black silk robe with matching pant. The hard, exposed panels of his chest caught her attention again.
Arnav " Have some dinner then we can discuss, Khushi . I am sure you are starving? "
He took her to the dining room. He pulled out a chair for her. As she seated, he politely pushed her chair in for her. He then placed her napkin in her lap and made his way over to the other side of the table and seated himself opposite her. He rested his chin on his fingers watching her carefully.
Khushi tried to look anywhere but him.
Khushi cleared throat uncomfortably " The contract? " trailed off uncertainly
Arnav " Let's have some diner first. We will talk after we fill our appetite. I don't want you to starve with hunger while we discuss, Khushi " huskily " I hope you like Italian" as a few pasta dishes,various breads and pizzas were brought in
Khushi could only stare at Arnav Singh Raizada. Here her hands practically shaking at the events that were sure to follow this dinner, and he was acting so calm and nonchalant as if they having dinner together like this every night.
The maid started to serve them the dishes and Arnav leant back in his chair sipping on his wine slowly not even taking his eyes off her once.
Khushi picked up her fork and started to eat. She wasn't very hungry, but eating gave her something to do, some way to divert her mind and attention.
She peeked up every couple of minutes, but his eyes were trained directly on her making her stomach knotting uncomfortably.
Once dinner was over, she followed him to the study room. Both of them sat opposite to each other at the table. Both of them didn't speak anything for some time.
Arnav " Now we should talk about Business "
Khushi " Why You want me, Mr. Raizada ? I mean you have lot of girls who will throw themselves on you " sighing
Arnav observed the girl in front of him. True he had been in the company of many beautiful women both professionally and socially. But none could able to get him turn on like he was incredibly turned on right now. He had seem glossier hair, fairer unblemished skin, more slender necks, larger busts, narrower waists, wider hips. But she just seemed to be so in proportion. She wasn't too pale or too dark, neither too skinny nor too full. she was just right. Everything about her was just right. The word PERFECTION floated around in his mind.
Arnav " Yes I have!! But I want YOU only ... KHUSHI " looking straight in her eyes " Stop calling me Mr. Raizada. Call me just Arnav " huskily
Khushi " It's definitely not easy for any woman to lose her Virtue to a man for money " sighed trying to look away " It's not easy for me. It's against my morals "
Arnav " But still you are sitting here ? " with one raise eyebrow
Khushi " Well moral does not feed us. My foster family needs my support. They have done so many favors on me by taking some child from the streets like under their shelter. Now it's my time to repay them " smiling through tears " MY FOSTER FAMILY... it's the only sole reason I am here "
Arnav " I assure you that I will look after all your Needs. I will be your financial sponsor till we are together " picking out one cheque book filled the amount of 20 lakhs and placed it on the table
Khushi " 20 lakhs ? " shocked
Arnav " It's just advance payment . From now on you will get such amounts every month in your account " smirking " Listen to me carefully Khushi. Everything you want will be fulfilled. You have to keep up your side of bargain. I am not a person who believes in promises and words. So we'll sign a non-disclosure contract " picked up a file from the top of the short stack on the low coffee table and handed it to her " These are the terms of our agreement. Go through them carefully before signing this. See if there is anything you would like to add "
Khushi opened the file and started to read.
Arnav " If the legal jargon is too much for you, let me explain so there is no confusion " rising from his chair " It states that whatever arrangement is between us should remain between us. Under no circumstances should either of our family members, the AR staff, personal staff or the media find out about this deal of ours " in an emotionless business like tone "If there is a leak of information to anyone, especially the press, I will hold you solely responsible and you will be required to pay a fee, and I hold all rights to take legal action against you"
Khushi gulped. Fee? Legal action? What was she getting herself into?
Arnav " This contract outlines the agreement of a mutual physical relationship between us. I will not be taking your Nos for having Sex " smirking " I only have the right decide when to terminate this contract, decision will be entirely mine. While with Me I don't want you to get on relationship with other guy. I'm very much POSSESSIVE about MY THING KHUSHI " seriously " You have to accompany me Khushi at business trips, meetings, parties. I don't want you to trap me with any illegitimate children nor you go to my family and beg for some type of marriage or alimony. Now, any questions or are you ready to sign? "
Khushi " I'll sign... but after getting my answer " hesitantly
Arnav's eyes traced over Khushi " What? "
Khushi " Are you married? "
Arnav " No I am not married " quite amused
Khushi " In relationship? "
Arnav " No. I've never been in any relationship " clarified " Let me clear one thing Khushi my sexual life can be seen in newspapers or magazines very frequently. I don't need to be in any relationship to fulfill my desires. I am not answerable to you or anyone. I'll keep my end of the bargain. You know yours, just to fulfill my desires nothing more, nothing less " in dead serious tone
She almost flinched at his raw words. She glanced at Arnav before signing the contract when he held her shaking wrist.
Arnav " Think carefully about this Khushi. Remember, by signing this, you are giving me your full consent. I don't enjoy an unwilling partner in bed and I will neither appreciate, nor will I tolerate any resistance from your end. I will require you to live with me. This commitment is 24*7 hours until we end this "
Khushi stared into his sincere but serious eyes. She had to do this, for her foster family.
Khushi moved her wrist and Arnav immediately let go. She didn't hesitate any further, just signed.
There she signed herself to him...
She handed him the file and he too signed it and kept the file aside.
Arnav looked at her for some time. He couldn't resist anymore, and he did not see the need to resist anymore. He owns her now. He suddenly pulled her towards him by her wrist. He saw that she was shocked and he smirked at her.
Arnav huskily " Let's just seal the deal with a kiss " whispered near Khushi's lips
Without any delay Arnav slammed his lips on hers making Khushi's eyes went wide with shock.
