    Shehnaaz washed her face and brushed her teeth now she laid down in her bed beside amna who was doing her school homework. This remind Shehnaaz that she also has to complete her assignments which was due by Monday, she pouted sadly because she wanted to watch instagram reels or tiktok

"Kal karlugi assignment" She thought pulling covers over and took out phone from under her pillow and opened Tiktok app

"Ary Amna yeh tumahri dost haina!" Shehnaaz pull off covers immediately and shoved her phone in front of amna's face for her to see video of 15 year girl doing dancing challenge on tiktok

    Amna scrunched her nose and pushed back her glasses to have clear view at video, indeed it was her friend Maruim. Amna's eyes fell on direct messages notification in Shehnaaz's phone and she made serious face before looking at her sister

"Api? Why has Sidharth gabol dm you?" Amna asked seriously. Shehnaaz looked at her in confusion and turned phone to look at screen, her face got completely pale. He has texted her

   "I'm going to call you now Shehnaaz you better answer it"

    Why the fuck will he call her? How the fuck he even knows she's one from class or he doesn't? This was all terrifying for her. Feeling of fear and anxiety filled inside her, her heart dropped at situation. She felt like cold frozen water has been thrown over her, even thinking about him is giving her chills, she looked at amna who was looking at her suspiciously Wtf

"Wo apko text kyun kar raha hai?" Amna asked

     Shehnaaz opened her mouth to tell her but ringtone of phone call but her off. She looked at screen of phone to see unknown number, she knows it's him calling. She stared at caller ID

"Baji?" Amna was in disbelief. She has no idea why is some politician that also Sidharth gabol is calling her sister who has never talked to boys more than hello in classroom

     Phone stoped ringing which made Shehnaaz to breath soon it followed with another text this time on number. She was too scared to open text but she did it while biting her lower lip

   "Answer phone call or pride plaza isn't far"

    Breath knocked out of her breath, that's where she lives and he knows it? How and why! Amna noticed her wide eyes and decided to peek at her text but Shehnaaz pulled away from her immediately before she could see

"Apna homework karo" Shehnaaz looked at her and get off bed right after. Amna watched him rushing inside washroom with phone in her hands

    Shehnaaz shut door of washroom behind and locked up. She leaned against it with eyes on his text which is more like threat to scare her and seems like he has been successful in this because when he called this time, she picked up right away and kept phone against her ear

"H-hello?" Her soft and shaky voice came out

     Sidharth breath out closing his eyes. Her voice is so freaking addictive more beautiful than what he imagined it to be, even her simple hello had me feel sensation from earlier. He has lost it all and it's official now

"Walaikumsalam" His deeper manly voice had her suck on breath "Kesi hain ap?" He asked with smirk on his lips while putting his phone on speaker as he was signing some documents

     She frown at his question and tone, why is he so casual with her like she's his friend or something. They don't even know each other personally before today she didn't even hear his voice nor saw him in person so why is he behaving like they are some kind of friends

"Apne mujhe call kyun kiya aur ap mujhe kese jante hain" She asked, she was hella sacred

"Kese jante hain? Didn't we had exchange earlier at your university Shehnaaz" The way her name rolled out of her tongue made her feel goosebumps and her heart rate went up

"Kya chahiye apko?" She asked, man like Sidharth gabol would never call her unless he wants something from her. There was silence on call for good amount of time

"You, I want you Shehnaaz"

    He said straightforwardly and boldly like how he was. His words froze her and made her heart beat faster, this can't be true this has to be some horrible nightmare she's having and she will wake up any moment now

"Mein apko janti tak nahi aur yeh possible nahi hoga" Her voice came out as whisper. Sidharth kept his paper aside and leaned into his armchair with smile on his face

"Kyun possible nahi hoga shehnaaz?" He asked. She sighed can he stop saying like name like that it's distracting her

"Mere parents bhut strict hain aur Mujhe yeh sab allow nahi hai so please mujhe call na kariye ga dubara" She pulled her courage and said all this in one go. He went silent again for few seconds, her reaction is obvious still he didn't liked it

"Tomorrow 6 pm at Beach Luxury" He said getting hold of his phone

"M-mein nahi asakti" She shook her head, Sidharth looked at caller ID and poker his inner cheek. He only say things once, he doesn't like repeating with environment he has grown up he never needed to repeat

"Mujhe kisi larke se milna allow nahi hai m-my father won't like it please" her voice held pleadings. She's scared of pissing him off

"Sharp 6pm aur mujhe farq nahi parta what's your excuse if you don't come to meet me" He paused, she hold her breath "I will drag you from your house in front of your father and trust me simple lawyer won't be able to do anything" He threatened, any wise person will know it was no empty threat words he always mean what he say

Hot tears filled in her eyes, she was scared and felt helpless. What's happening why and how did her life took this turn. She's already regretting moment her eyes locked with his

—

Shehnaaz never had horrible Saturday like today, she has been stressing since morning about what's she's gonna do, how she's going to meet him when she doesn't even have university today. She really can't believe that she's stuck in situation like this that also with him out of all people. She could have managed it easily if person was anyone else, but can't with him. He's way more powerful and intimidating

"Baba" She called after sitting beside him for 15 mins debating wether she should call him or not and ask for permission to go out

"Jee mera bacha" Alam's looked at Shehnaaz with small smile. How guilty she already felt for lying to her innocent father

"Anya ke ghar gathering hai kya mein jau?" She tilted her head using her sweet tone and doe eyes on him

"Sure bacha what time are you going? Should I drop you?" He asked looking at time in his wristwatch

"Nahi baba mein cab mein jau gi apko fazool mein chakr lagane parege" Shehnaaz refused his offer immediately with slightest panic in her eyes. Amna who was silently watching television gave her side eye. She was getting suspicious of Shehnaaz's odd behaviour since morning

"Theek hai lekin be back before 10 okay?" He kept hand over her head and pulled her to kiss on her forehead. She nodded smiling at him, she's worst daughter and thinking how she has lied to her father for first time just to meet some guy made her eyes filled with water

Shehnaaz stand up and went to her room. She locked door behind and let out tears. She doesn't like lying to her father or sisters, they aren't raised like this. Her father would be very much disappointed if he ever got to know that she lied to him to meet guy, she will meet him and tell him to leave her alone and she can't be with him in any way

She got ready and wore white colour suit with little bit of embroidery, her hair are pulled in little messy yet elegant bun. She just out lipstick, mascara and blush in make up, lastly she wore crystal stud earrings and finished her getting ready, looking at time she realised she has 30 mins which will take to reach their place to meet. Taking her purse and phone she called for cab

"Baba jau mein?" She asked her father who was on phone call, he nodded waving his hand. How much he trust her

When she set down in cab there was different kind of nervousness, anxiety and fear inside her. What's going to happen maybe she's going mistake by going to meet a man with reputation like that, what can she even do if she didn't go see him he will come looking for her and that's the last thing she want in her life

She took deep breath before stepping outside of cab after reaching there. She paid him and watch him leave, her heart beating faster than before as she took steps toward Beach Luxury hotel's entrance. Man at door greeted her and opened door for her, she gave him small smile and walked since. There aren't many people or there aren't any other than staff, she grew more scared

"Excuse me ma'am are you Shehnaaz alam?" Man in suit who looks like manager asked her. She nodded her head innocently

"This way ma'am" He walked in left direction of tables and she followed him nervously. He showed her table and asked her to sit there, she did as he told her to

It was summers and Air condition of this hotel is very much good that Shehnaaz was feeling cold and freezing. She doesn't if she's feeling that way because she's scared or it actually is cold, she heartbeat got faster when she heard clicking of boots against tile of floor, the way hall filled with very strong and musky fragrance she knows it's him. She can't see since her back was facing him

She grew nervous and bite her lower lip, goosebumps rise on her body when sleeve of suit he was wearing brushed against hers as he leaned down her ear. She panic as he got more closer that his breath face across side of her face. What is he doing? She thought

"How did you know white is my favourite colour and on you it looks fucking breathing shehnaaz" He spoke in her ear. Chill ran down her spine, she didn't dare to speak a word as he leaned away and pulled chair beside her and set down staring at her

"Haan toh kya tha? Why it's not possible for you to be with me?" He asked, his lips are curved in smirk, she came, he knew she would but thought of her breaking rules and lied to her father just to see him made Sidharth excited

He's staring and Shehnaaz find it hard to breath, he's way more scary from this close. She wants nothing but to leave and let out breath

"I-I belong from strict family and Mujhe yeh sab allow nahi hai aur agar b-baba ko pata chal gaya wo meri studies band karwa denge" She spoke in low voice looking down at hands in her lap. Sidharth leaned in chair to have good look at her

"Mujhe bikul farq nahi parta what your father's gonna or think Shehnaaz, you will be with me and that's final" He said

"I can't" She shook her head and glanced at him who was already looking at her "I-I don't want to be with you" She said looking into his eyes

His eyes got darker when she utter those words and she saw how his facial expressions changed into something dangerous. He wasn't looking at her with gentle gaze but with glare, her heart beat rapidly and hands were getting sweaty

"Kya kaha?" He asked. Don't repeat it. Don't repeat it. She begged to herself

"I don't want to be with you-"

She gasped when he suddenly gripped on her chair and hover over her, her eyes widen and her skip a beat when he pulled out silver gun from his coat and kept it over table

"Two options you have sweetheart, either you leave this hall as my girlfriend or never leave" His burning gaze locked with her teary eyes
