Chapter 13 - Dangerous twist
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:5630th Nov was the day Ishaan and I confessed to each other. We had been dating for about 6 months and that night in Goa was a landmark for our relationship.
We returned quite late to the resort and most of the people went to bed immediately except me. I couldn't believe, whatever happened on the beach was a dream or reality.
I am not the romantic sort. Fairytale's love stories never appealed to me but when Ishaan said those 3 magical words I wanted to believe them. I wanted it to be real.
The next day we moved around various touristy places of Goa. We were on a 2-night trip and we were supposed to leave the next day evening.
We still had time for a smashing party.
Swati and Gaurav kept disappearing for short intervals to God know where.
Now that we were officially 'In love' I had no idea what to do next.
Technically it didn't make any difference to our relationship we were the same as before.
"Ishaan confessed," I said to Swati

If I try to recollect the worst moments of my life seeing Priya like that would be among the top 5.Even if she was bitchy or selfish. She didn't deserve that fate. No one does."You bastard!" Ishaan shouted, and ran inside to catch Omar. I reached the bed and immediately covered Priya with a sheet.She was sleeping blissfully. Totally unaware of things being done to her.Sejal had tears in her eyes."What have you done to her, you bastard! "Ishaan was holding Omar by his collar. He had snatched away his mobile phone."Delete these right now!" Ishaan said."No, we need these for evidence," Sejal said.Swati, Gaurav, and Vicky reached that room soon after."We didn't find Priya and Omar......Oh My God! What happened here " Swati looked at us horrified.Gaurav and Vicky joined Ishaan to help him subdue Omar."We should inform Deepak and call the police," I said."No please dont call the p

I was being kissed by soft lips. Caressed by firm strong hands. The softness of clouds below me and the hardness above sent ripples of pleasure inside me.Then I was shaking, I was quivering while being thrust against the soft clouds."Aarya wake up!!!"someone was shaking me vigorously...I opened my eyes and looked around bleary-eyed..."wah..what happened ?" I sat up trying to make sense. I was in clouds doing unmentionable things with Ishaan then somehow I reached my bedroom."Why did you wake me up?" I asked Swati.Swati who looked agitated "Where's your phone. Ishaan has been trying to reach you but it was switched off. He got worried and thought you are angry with him. Did you guys fight last night ?"I checked my phone "its discharged. Oh shit! I totally forgot." I jumped off the bed. "I am supposed to visit the office today."After returning from Goa I had started taking more efforts to know about him. His office was somewhere in Hinjewadi which was like the other end of the

We walked out into the reception as 2 guys of the about the same age as Ishaan walked out of the lift.One of them was tall and strapping other one was short and nerdy."Hey, Ishaan" they grinned and greeted each other."This is Aarya, my girlfriend." Ishaan introduced me. He looked at me proudly as if I was a trophy."Aarya they are my partners Pranav and Vaibhav. Pranav is the technical head and Vaibhav handles marketing."I shook their hands while they smiled at me." Ishaan hasn't stopped talking about you ever since he met you." The taller one called Vaibhav said.I smiled politely "good to meet you". "Did you show her around?" Pranav the nerdy one asked."Yeah I gave her the demo as well" Ishaan replied his face expressionless. I couldn't help blushing."Your idea was too good Aarya why don't you join our creative team?" Pranav said."I will consider it." I grinned."If I had to work under Ishaan I won't be able to get any work done," I thought."Guy let's proceed for lunch we c

The sexual tension which had been simmering since long broke through the dam.He held my face and brought his lips over mine taking me in a passionate kiss. Our tongues entwined as they explored the inside of each other's mouths.I was quivering with little electric currents running through me. The way he shuddered I was sure he was feeling the same urge.He deepened the kiss devouring me completely. I felt being pushed backwards till my back touched the sofa.He left my lips and I called out his name in protest.My protest immediately turned to pleasure when he started placing kisses down my neck. I arched my back when he nipped the pulse beating at the base of my throat.It was just like my dream much better than the dream. Maybe I never woke up this morning, it was all a dream.My hand glided over his back and reached the hem of his tee. I pushed my hand inside slowly they glided up his bareback slightly taking then with my nails."Look what you are doing to me Aarya!" He whispered

My eyes opened with sunlight streaming through the window. We were still naked in the sheets. I could feel his body pressing into mine his breath moving rhythmically.I carefully untangled myself from him. He protested in his sleep but then nestled his head in the pillow. I tiptoed towards his closet and pulled out a shirt. I put it on. It smelled like him.He was tall, much taller than me so his shirt reached my mid-thigh. I found a brand new toothbrush in the bathroom and freshened up.We had skipped dinner last night so I was starving. I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. There were some, bread, eggs, milk, and some packed food."He needs some groceries," I said to myself.I took out some eggs and bread and thought of making scrambled eggs.I was so engrossed in the preparations, I didnt notice Ishaan creeping up behind me.He caught my waist hugging me from behind and kissed my neck. I could feel his morning stubble scraping my chin."What are you doing?" He said."Maki

"What! But you stayed over at his place just yesterday? What happened? " I asked Swati."Things were not going well since Goa. He was becoming a control freak. I couldn't stand the nagging. So I just asked him to sod off!" Swati replied. She was strong, stronger than me."I am sorry Swati. What should I do to make you feel better? Do you want to go out somewhere?" I asked."Nah! I am fine. Good riddance from that jerk. I am more interested in your story. Did you do it?" She winked at me.I nodded."Yesss! I knew it. You wouldn't last long. So how was it?""Amazing! Like the best one ever!" Not I had enough experience to compare but no harm in saying so."I can see that, you haven't stopped blushing since you have returned. And how are other things?""I visited his office, met his partners. You know his dad appears on the cover of business magazines!" "Wow! He must be loaded. so where does he stay? Is it a big house?""You can't even imagine. Its a 5 bedroom penthouse!!""This guy's a

"Why?" Ishaan asked."I can't" I replied."You don't trust me?" "It's not that. First of all my parents would be outraged. Let's say I manage to convince them and get their approval. My mom would be constantly nagging us to get wedded as soon as possible. I haven't even considered how your parents would react. It would be a total mess.""Who cares! It's our life Aarya.""I care Ishaan and you should as well. You will realize soon what your family means to you."I didn't know then that my words were prophetic. "Hmmm, so I have to continue suffering like this." He said morosely.I looped my arm around his neck and spoke in his ears " who said so? Whenever we are together we'll make the most of it."He turned a bit to face me."Aarya you drive me crazy do you know that?" "Hmmm and what else do I make you feel?"He turned towards me facing the bonnet and pulled me down so that my body slid into his waiting arms. I wrapped my jeans-clad leg around his waist. Still sitting on the car bonn

I couldn't wait for the plane to land as it hovered over Pune. Ishaan was supposed to receive me at the airport.I ran towards the exit as soon an I had collected my luggage,I looked around and spotted him waving at me. He had a broad smile on his and he was with a girl!She looked familiar though. I slowed my pace and walked towards him trying to figure out her identity.It suddenly struck me. She was Saanchi his sister. My heart was already fluttering, now it was hammering at a breakneck speed.He never told me his sister would also be visiting. Saanchi was beautiful.Both brother and sister had inherited their good looks from their parents. She was tall with a model figure.He has told me they were twins so she would be 25 years old. She was carrying a Chanel bag and I could tell her jeans was Armani. I was sure the rest of her clothes and accessories would be high-end brands as well.She gave me a polite smile as I approached them."Hey!" He took me a hug.I wanted to kiss him but

Aarya -"Ok now what?" I said after Ishaan had ushered me in his car.He swooped down on me and crushed his lips on mine kissing me deeply.I was startled initially but then responded to his kiss. It was the best feeling.It was like a homecoming.After coming back to Earth. He kept gazing at me."What are you doing?""Making sure that all this is not a dream.""Be assured it's not. I have to catch the evening flight back btw.""Cancel it." He simply said while caressing my cheeks."Hmmm so how is this going to work out?""Just marry me and we'll work out everything. " He said trying to kiss me again."Ishaan wait," I said."I know we have been through a lot but are we going to fast? I mean you have directly jumped to the wedding " I said.He kept both his hands on the steering wheel and looked ahead."I am 31 it's about time I get married. We have waited 5 years Aarya. I am d

"May I come in?" Anjali asked.Aarya realized she had been gaping at Anjali for several minutes."Oh yes! Please come in" Aarya said and wondered at herself where were her manners."Please have a seat." She said to Anjali."Umm, would you like to have tea, coffee, or something cold maybe?" Aarya askedAnjali smiled at the nervous girl. She was indeed beautiful. No wonder Ishaan was smitten."Sit," Anjali said to Aarya.Aarya obeyed immediately. She twisted the pearl ring in her hand to fend off some anxiety."You must be wondering about the purpose of my visit," Anjali said.Aarya nodded."Well first of all thank you for bringing my son to me. He hasn't been home for years."Aarya's eyes shot up in surprise."I owe you an apology. We all do."Aarya was contemplating how to react. This was her first meeting with Ishaan's mom and "I know everything about you and Ishaan. I am sorry for what he did to you.""Aunty it's ok. I mean he has apologized already, please you don't have to do this

Aarya floated in and out of consciousness. She was having a nightmare. A nightmare where she was being stripped and violated.She woke up with a scream."Aarya it's ok. You are safe." His soothing voice said."Ishaan" she whispered in the dim light."It's ok dear. I am here for you, please go back to sleep." He patted her head until she drifted off to sleep."She woke up again?" Swati arrived from the other room."Yeah, but she went back to sleep," Ishaan replied."I am glad I rescheduled my trip," Swati said.He was quiet for a moment."I will make sure that bastard never gets out of that jail alive." Ishaan gritted his teeth in anger."It's like Priya all over again. Only this time it's worse." Swati sighed.After rescuing Aarya from the cottage. Ishaan had proceeded to file the FIR and get her medically examined.She was in a shock and been hallucinating under bouts of fever ever since.It had been 3 days now."Ishaan please get some sleep. I will look after her," Swati said.He ran
Affairs of the heart Chapter 38 - Rescued
Aarya woke up with a splitting headache.The sun was already up but most of the room was still dark. She tried to sit up then realized that her hand was tied to the bedpost.She had no idea what time it was or for how many hours she had been knocked out but her growling stomach confirmed it was quiet late probably hours.Aarya recalled the events which led to this. She had cried herself to sleep after a confrontation with Ishaan.She booked a cab for Bangalore and left the hotel early morning before Ishaan could find her. She just wanted to be away from him.She remembered getting into the cab and probably fell asleep in it. She wasn't sure if she fell asleep or she was drugged.When her eyes opened she was here in this dingy room God knows where.With a hammering heart, she tugged at the ropes tying her hand to the headboard. It didn't budge.Her throat felt so dry she could barely speak. The room was sparsely furnished with just a bed and a chair.She heard footsteps. Someone was app

"Hey what's up?" Aarya said while settling down on the sofa."I hope I didn't disturb you?" Shashank said from the other side Aarya glanced at Ishaan who was sitting on the edge of the bed buttoning up his shirt."No it's ok we can talk." "Well there is good news and I wanted you to know first.""That's sweet. What is it?""Astha's pregnant!" Shashank said.Aarya felt as if a bucket of cold water was flung at her."That's great news Shashank. Congratulations! Please convey my regards to Astha as well.""I sure will. Frankly, I am thrilled!" Ishaan's fury grew with each passing moment. He wasn't sure why he was getting overwhelmed with jealously. Perhaps because Shashank was her husband once. Something which he had failed to achieve.Aarya cut the call and stared at the black screen. Her reverie was broken when she felt the cushion sinking next to her.Ishaan plopped down next to her."Sorry I had to take his call." She said.He didn't say anything just placed his hand on hers and sq

It was a short and gentle kiss but it was enough to shake her to the core.She opened her eyes looking into his hazel ones. He had that typical half-smile on his face. He wasn't sure how she would react but there was no trace of anger."Aarya" he whispered."Happy Birthday Ishaan," She said.He looked happy as well as surprised."You remembered?" " Of course." She replied.He looked down and chuckled."You never fail to amaze me Aarya.""Thats my speciality." She grinned at him.He was expecting a backlash for kissing her but instead, she remembered his birthday."So what are we going to do today?" She asked.He scratched his chin pretending to think."I am hungry." "What!"" I can't think when I am hungry." He replied.She laughed ", let's have breakfast then. The dining hall must have opened by now.""We'll have breakfast here, in the garden. I'll call room service.""I would like that very much." She grinned.Soon they were enjoying a private breakfast spread in the garden. The go

Ishaan realized the advantage of sitting on the passenger side. He could gaze at her for hours without bothering about the traffic."Ishaan if you keep staring at me I won't be able to drive.""I am not staring.""Yes, you are. Why don't you look at the scenery outside? It's beautiful?"He rested his head on his palm."Yup beautiful." Aarya chose to ignore his attention and focused on the road ahead. The Jaguar was lovely to drive."I love this car," She commented."You can have it." He said.She laughed."How is Sanchi?" She suddenly asked.His face hardened."She is fine.""And your family?""They are all doing well."He was still evasive about them."Why aren't you in Mumbai Ishaan?" He fidgeted with his phone."I have some work here. I told you I am here for a month." "Really?" She asked."What could be the other reason Aarya?""I don't know. Never been a CEO." She grinned."Shashank used to own a Jaguar as well." She said.The colour drained from Ishaan's face. He suddenly fel

Aarya was nervously tapping her finger on the chair's hand rest. She had never been to a police station before.Ishaan squeezed her hand reassuring her.A friendly looking inspector finally asked them."So how can I help you?""I am getting weird calls. The caller seems to be stalking me.""Hmm please let me know your phone number and the numbers from which you got those calls. Do you doubt anyone?""I am not aware of anyone like that." She said."Anyone ever troubled you? Like past boyfriend, ex, or someone you disagreed with?"Aarya looked at Ishaan. Her ex-boyfriend was sitting right next to her and Shashank wouldn't do anything like this. He wasn't even living in India so it was unlikely he would know her daily routine. She wasn't in touch with anyone else from Pune."I can't think of anyone in particular." She said."Any trouble with law earlier?""There was a guy in our group who was arrested. He used to drug and exploit girls." Ishaan interrupted.Aarya recalled Omar and she was

"Aarya you are being stalked by someone! Why didn't you tell me?" Ishaan asked after he heard the creepy phone call."Its nothing Ishaan.Some prank callers. I have blocked him but he keeps calling from different numbers.""Aarya this is dangerous, we must report it to the police.""I had thought of reporting to the police but then I was caught up in other things.""I don't want you to stay alone either. Move-in with someone or call someone to stay with you." He looked worried."I don't have anyone here. My parents can't be here of course." She said in a small voice.He stared at her for some time. "You can stay with me." He suggested.She gave him an incredulous look."It was just a suggestion. My bad!" He said holding his hands up."Ishaan even if I stay with you. What after one month? I am used to solving my problems on my own. I would handle this as well. Dont worry." She simply said and nibbled at her food.He observed her for some time. She had changed. She wasn't that carefree g
