Arnav's POV

"We've been sited like this for over an hour now Arnav." Britney complained as she sat beside me dressed in some very revealing clothes, it was even difficult to describe them.

"Fine then I'll leave." I said as I stood up and headed towards the door but before I could exit, she got hold of my hand and pulled me back.

"Don't be so boring Arnav, it's not like we're doing this for the first time, come on." She trailed her fingers on my face and licked her lips sensuously.

She cupped my face and pulled me closer, brushing my lips with her thumb and then with every passing moment, she kept on moving closer and closer to me, her lips almost touching mine.

I pushed her away and turned around feeling angry and guilty, like why the hell was I even feeling guilty? Wasn't this who I was? The Casanova bad boy that slept around with almost every girl and today I was feeling guilty kissing one?

Britney was right, it wasn't my first time then why was it so difficult?

"Who's she?" I heard Britney's voice, I turned to look at her and she was staring at me like she could murder me.

"What do you mean?" I raised an eyebrow as I looked at her in confusion, what was she even trying to ask?

"The one that had made the bad boy feel this way, I mean have you seen yourself Arnav? You used to come here before, jump on me straight away and within half an hour we were done and today you've just been sited silently and when I tried to initiate things, you pushed me away, it has to mean something." She said.

"Not everything has to mean something, get over yourself Britney, maybe it's just that I got bored of you." I shrugged as I walked towards the door to leave as she kept on calling out my name, trying to stop me but I dint pay heed to her.

I got inside the car parked outside and told the driver to drive home straight as Britney's words kept on ringing in my mind, there had to be something, why else wouldn't I do what I was here for actually?

I stared at her blankly when she broke the news to me, I arrived home at almost midnight and found Stella waiting for me in my bedroom, maybe mom must have sent her there and she looked so worried but that wasn't the point, when she told me about it, I dint know how to react, I wanted to punch her on the face but then I couldn't forget all she had done for me for such a long time, she was the only one I had ever trusted and she ended up failing me miserably.

"I told you to stay with her!" I shouted at her angrily.

"I tried all I could Arnav, but she dint allow me inside the house, she said she wanted to be alone so I just left!" Stella tried to explain.

"Then you could have waited outside or at least informed me, I could have gone there myself, do you realize what time it is right now? It's almost midnight, her mother could be worried, she must be looking for her." I said as I walked around angrily, dialing Ahaan's number on my phone but he wouldn't pick up.

Stella kept on staring at me nervously and for a moment I felt bad for her but then I also felt angry, Khushi had been kidnapped and it was all because she couldn't stay around her!

I remembered the time when I decided to stay away from Khushi and it took me ages to convince Stella to do me this favor, obviously it was difficult she had to change school and come here just for me and she did that to help me out.

And here I was now not knowing what to do, be grateful that she helped me or be angry because of her tiny fault, Khushi wasn't here with us now.

"I called her mom and told her she's staying over at my place, I am so sorry Arnav, I dint mean to..." Stella almost cried.

"Those people are ruthless Stella, they could kill her you know that! They killed Jiya, do you think they could think twice before doing the same to Khushi?" I shouted.

I was so angry I dint even know what to do plus I was worried too, I dint know how Khushi was, if she was okay or not and on top of it the only person that could help me was Ahaan but he wasn't picking up my calls.

I walked from one corner of the room to the other trying to figure things out, trying to think of a place where they might have kept her or something so that I could at least help her but there was nothing much that could help.

"Why don't you ask Ryle for help?" Stella suggested and at that moment I wanted to seriously punch her on the face, that was one of the stupidest suggestion she ever gave.

"I can never trust that guy, I don't care whether you like him or whatever that has been between you both but that guy, I'm sure I'll kill him some day!" I said as I headed out of my room angrily as I dialed Aaron's number on my phone.

"What did he do to you that you hate him so much?" Stella asked as she followed me downstairs.

"If I tell you, you'll hate him more than whatever you feel for him right now, so let it be." I shrugged as I gave her a look and then walked away from her, all I wanted to concentrate on at the moment was finding Khushi.

"What happened? Why did you call us here so urgently?" Aaron asked as soon as he arrived at my place with Ree and Rohan, I had been waiting for them outside in the parking lot for a while now.

"They have Khushi, we have to find out where they've taken her." I said worriedly as the guys looked at me is shock, we all jumped inside one car as Aaron drove off, neither of us knew what we were going to do or where we were going but we had to start from somewhere and maybe we could start by finding Ahaan.

"When did it happen?" Rohan asked.

"Wasn't Stella always supposed to be around her?" Ree asked.

"She came my place and then left angrily so I told Stella to go and be with her at home because I had taken her to the farmhouse and someone was following us, so to be on the safe side I wanted Stella to be with her but she left because Khushi told her to leave her alone and the stupidest thing, she dint even inform me.

I mean dint she know how serious this was? Why did'nt she inform me, I am so damn pissed, today wherever Khushi is, it's all because of Stella." I said feeling angry and irritated.

"It's not her fault Arnav, calm down, she tried her best." Aaron said.

"And don't worry we're here with you and we'll make sure we find Khushi as soon as possible, she is going to be fine trust me." Rohan tried to smile.

"I can't think positive Rohan, not after what happened to Jiya." I almost cried out, I remember the last time I cried was when I lost her and then I changed to be the bad boy I was, and I was so heartless and ruthless I made other people cry but never shed a tear myself but today as I remembered everything that happened in the past, it made me worry about the future and I felt trapped, I dint know what was going to happen and maybe for the first time in a very long time, I was scared.

We drove to so many places where Ahaan used to be but we couldn't find him anywhere, I kept on calling him every few minutes but he wouldn't receive my calls yet.

"Are you sure they are the ones who took Khushi?" Aaron asked.

"Who else could it be? I'm so sure it's them."

"It's not like we don't have other enemies, come on Arnav." Ree said.

"I saw them follow us Ree, and just after then Khushi got kidnapped now all that isn't just a coincidence, Ahaan had warned me so many times but I dint listen to him, now I wish I could have then maybe today Khushi could be at home and not where they have kept her." I said worriedly hoping they weren't torturing her, I swear if I saw any kind of wound on her or anything, I was going to kill all of them.

"Do you think we should pass by the office? Maybe your dad might know where he is." Aaron suggested.

"Holy Crap! I remember now, he told me he had a meeting at the office today, I guess that's why he isn't receiving my calls, his phone must be on silent, drive to the office I'm sure we'll find him there." I said finally feeling like there was a ray of hope left somewhere.

"Aaron parked the car outside while I rushed out in a hurry as the boys followed me, I pressed the button for the lift but it seemed like it was taking forever to come so I used the staircase instead and rushed upstairs.

I headed for the board room direct as I opened the door and walked inside panting for breaths but I was more than glad to see Ahaan there, standing right in front of me and now I knew that everything was going to be okay.
