Chapter 2

Vanya's POV

(I'm heading to Arya's (Dherya) cabin right now; he called me about Arora's file. When I arrived outside his cabin, I knocked on the door once with no reply. Knocked again, still no reply! So, I opened the door and stepped inside. As soon as I entered, someone pinned me against the door. I gasped softly and looked at the person, who turned out to be Arya.

He put his hands on my waist, and I placed my hands on his chest in anticipation. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Having some romance with my AMORE (means love)," he said. "We are in the office, Arya, please leave me." Instead of leaving, he buried his face in the crook of my neck and hugged me tightly. I felt his warm breath on my neck, and I hugged him back. He started kissing my neck softly. "Ahh!" I softly moaned. After a while, he began sucking and biting my neck. "Ahh! Ahh! Arya! Ahh!" I moaned continuously. After a good few minutes of biting and sucking, he pulled back. He smirked while looking at the hickey on my neck. I tried to push him, but his hold on my waist became tighter. Then he cupped my face in both of his hands and started caressing my right cheek while looking deep into my eyes. I couldn't hold his intense gaze, so I lowered my lashes while blushing. "You are driving me insane," he said and kissed both cheeks and my forehead. "I love you so much," he said and looked at my lips, then he started leaning toward my lips, our lips were just an inch apart.)

I jolted awake, searing pain throbbing between my thighs. I looked up to see my mother standing over me, a hot iron rod still pressed against my skin. I hissed in agony, pleading with her, "Mummy, please! Remove it!" My cries were met with silence for what felt like an eternity - 29 seconds that stretched out like an hour. Finally, she lifted the iron rod, releasing me from the torment.

"How much longer do you plan on sleeping?" my mother asked, her voice stern.

I glanced at clock it's 6.07 AM in the morning. I am 7 minutes late

I am sorry I will not repeat this again. I said

You better not. Now go clean the house and make breakfast fast.

I nodded and got up from the bed. I cried when I felt a strong pain between my thighs. She always does this kind of thing.whenever I made any mistake.

I made my towards washroom brushed my teeth and then start doing household chores. After cleaning I took a bath. And start making breakfast. After that I keep breakfast on dinning table.

Then that I took 1 apple from the kitchen and glanced at clock its 7. 30 am

I am getting late. I quickly go inside my room and start getting ready. After 15 mins I get ready I am wearing a simple yellow kurti with jeans.

I am not doing any make up just applied moisturizer and sunscreen and make low ponytail. And put my wrist watch.

And then I put 1 formal outfit, nude colour lipstick and comb in by handbag. Because my parents won't allow me wear this.

But I can't go office like this I mean there is no problem in this clothes but I just want to wear something formal so.

I purchased 4-5 pairs of formals from the college feast money because My parents don't give me money.

It's not like we are very poor, nooo, we are more than upper-middle class. And something below a millionaire. My father owns his own business. I know his business got ruined, but after some years, he built his business again.

  Oh, why am I thinking so much? I'm getting late. I quickly made my way outside the door and took a rickshaw (bro, we have 3 cars in the house). I told him to take me to the mall after 15 mins we reach .

I paid him, then went inside and changed my clothes in the washroom to formal attire. I applied lipstick and let my hair down.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I smile while looking myself in the mirror and then I remember my dream we were about to kiss.

Oh god why I am thinking this. This is never gonna happen.

Hey kanha ji please don't put this kind d of thoughts in my mind. He doesn't even know about my existence.

I frown sadly and look at my wristwatch.

Oh god it's already 8.30 I have to reach by 9. I quickly make my way outside the mall and take rikshaw.

After 20 minutes we reached office. I entered inside with a little smile in the office and as I entered the office I see Purva(my bestfriend ) waiting for me.

I waved at her and she smile looking at me.

You look beautiful babe. She said

You too i said with a smile.

Now, okay, we made our way towards the conference room where we have our introduction session with the CEO, department heads, and senior.

We entered the room and saw around 20 people sitting. We made our way to the second row where two chairs were empty. We both sat there.

So finally today you gonna see him after 5 years. Purva said

I frown sadly. I was about to say something, but my breath hitched when I see him entering the room.

He is wearing a black 3-piece suit. Oh my God, he is looking so damn hot.

I come to my senses when I heard everybody wishing him good morning while standing. I quickly stand, and then he gestures for us to sit.

Everybody starts introducing themselves to him and the other heads, and now it's my turn.

I stand, and he looks at me. Oh God, it's our first eye contact. I am screaming internally. His dark brown eyes, perfect sharp jawline, perfectly trimmed beard. His facial features are making me insane. Oh my God.

His deep voice pierced through my daze, bringing me back to my senses.

"What's your name, miss?" he asked

"My name is Vanya Mehra," I said nervously, feeling everyone's eyes on me. Oh, to hell with them all, I thought, my heart racing as I trembled under his intense gaze.

"He gestured for me to

take a seat, his eyes lingering on me for an extra three seconds, as if sizing me up."
