Samaira felt strong arms around her, her heart lurched as she recognised that familiar fragrance, she looked up to meet a pair of extremely cold grey eyes staring right into hers.
“Siddhar..er.. Mr. Kapoor, I.. Im sorry,”
He did not reply to her as she stuttered while straightening up, her eyes were not teary but he could see immense pain and hurt in them.
“Mr. Kapoor, so nice to see you here on an inspection drive, its so good to see you concerned about the reputation of this mall,”
Simone plucked herself out of the crowd and walked to the fore, trying to impress Siddharth
“Mr. Kapoor, you have arrived at just the right time, its such a shame that we all had our precious time wasted here trying to nab a thief, now tha
Simone was flabbergasted as she pulled out the set of limited edition belt and wallet from her purse, her eyes widened, so did that of the onlookers“F*ckin shit man!!, this is some live entertainment, thief making the loudest noise while the innocent remains calm,” someone commented amongst the crowdMonique looked stupefied, her mouth agape as she strongly resisted the urge to break into a loud laughter"No, I didn't do this, I'm being framed," Simone screamed at the cops as they tried to grab her wrist"She has done it, not me, she is the thief, she put this in my purse to frame me and avenge me, she is jealous of me," she continued with her rantings as her voice faded while she was taken out of the mall“Serves her well, bitch,
Samaira’s ears were covered with her hands and her eyes were shut tight, her entire upper body leaned forward as she curled into herself, she could literally hear the sound of her heartbeats aloud, her breathing was heavy and her entire body was trembling. It was after quite a few minutes that she summed up the courage to open her eyes and look up. A pair of cold grey eyes met hers, she frowned as she saw the look of amusement Siddharth held on his face, like they’d just been a part of bungee jumping. He smiled wickedly at her and her frown turned into anger “Scared?,” he asked in that sexy deep voice Samaira glared at him “of’course not, what’s new in this, I sit in cars that are banged everyday.. part of my daily routine,” he didn’t mis
Samaira stood frozen to the spot as the car she alighted from sped past her, the effect of his words sent a shiver down her spine “Do you tend to take my words lightly Miss Khanna?,” Samaira didn’t understand what he meant at first “ When I say I will make you squirm in pleasure beneath me till you shout my name in ecstasy.... , trust me I will, so protect and preserve your body till then,” He wasn’t even looking at her when he spoke all those words, yet the effect was so deep and profound, had he shot her a glance, she would have fainted for sure Samaira quivered in fear, her heart palpitated and she broke in cold sweat, like a frightened rabbit she opened the car door to alight, not before she heard his next words “I dislike people who have
After several minutes Samaira straightened up, her legs felt numb due to sitting on the ground, she managed to stand up and sit on the bench, it was dark, very dark all around her, yet her pain suppressed her fears of being alone in the darkShe kept seeing flashes, images of Raul f*cking the other woman who lay on the bed completely naked, she couldn’t see her face, but she did see Raul completely naked as well and into her, she saw him thrusting into that woman while cursing SamairaShe shouldn’t have taken that one step near the half open door of his bedroom, she knew she shouldn’t have.. but isn’t this a basic nature of humans, they want to see with their own eyes what they know will hurt and pain them the mostShe wanted to see it to believe it, believe that she was nothing but a piece of trash for Raul
The next day Samaira was picked up by Monique, they had an afternoon flight to Charles de guile. Samaira would not have been surprised if she were being provided by an economy class ticket, since she was no more a superstar, people who gave her work sadistically relished in her downfallHowever it came more as a shock when she learnt that she was flying first class“Did you think the future brand ambassador of Lilac would travel economy,” Monique gave her a wry lookSamaira didn’t speak, she simply headed to where the Airhostess guided her while Monique had a business class ticket herself“Miss Samaira, its so good to see you again,” Shanaya, an air hostess whom Samaira had befriended in past, rather.. protected from a drunk passenger in past on one of her flig
After parting ways with Siddharth at the airport, Samaira and Monique headed straight to the hotel, by the time they reached it was well past 11 in the night“So was Siddharth actually next to you during the whole flight?,” Monique was excited“Yeah, and I injured his hand due to my stupidity,”“Wow, I can smell romance in air,”“Monique, please, I’m done with all this crap,”“Hey, that reminds me, how was your celebration with Raul last night, Duh!, I truly wish that the heavenly powers intervene and diminish his presence from your life forever,” she swiped the room key card to open Samaira’s room for her firstSamaira froze at the ment
“Are you ready to leave ?,” he asked in an over friendly tone“Yes, I am,” she replied reluctantly, had she been given a choice Samaira would have preferred to stay indoors and relax, she had seen Paris several times in past, it used to be one of her favourite destination, but she didn’t want Monique to go alone with this man, she wasn’t quite sure about his intentions yetMonique joined them at the reception, she was surprised to see Jeff and Samaira walk out together, she also sensed a frost of discomfort on Samaira’s face“What’s wrong?, how’s your headache?,” she asked as Jeff left them and walked ahead to get the car“Nothing, I’m fine now,” she lied“Hmm,
A sudden silence enveloped the sets, nothing could be heard except the chirping of the birds, the entire crew members were quiet in anticipation of the drama that was to unfoldMonique was about to walk towards Reenie but Samaira held her hand, Monique looked at her in exasperation“Sam, your soft nature will someday be your end,” Monique was clearly upset with Samaira taking the blow, little was she unaware that Samaira’s words, though soft can be strong too.“Sister Reenie, what a pleasant surprise to see you here,” Samaira had her ethereal smile on her face“Huh!,” Reenie snorted “Sister Reenie, had you come visiting your uncle’s last rites, you wouldn’t have had to wait to ‘Final
