Ishaani's POV:

His hands were cold...like ice!!!

Was he really a dead man? I thought for a minute.

His grip was too tight...I released my hand from his grip.

He was still looking at me intensely!!!

I was getting concious!

'Here eat your breakfast!!! Have these sandwiches. You shall complete the formalities with HR for a  induction program today. Tomorrow morning 9 am sharp I expect you here in my cabin. We will discuss the designs and theme I expect you to start working on our latest collection asap. We only have 4 weeks for Gaya's Fashion Week. And this time I want our collections to be unique and classy. I hope you know Hrishi's has also organised a Fashion week approx the same time span. And you know the most popular in market would go to the Paris Fashion week. However we have never won the best summer collection at Paris till date. It was always a dream.

But the point Gaya's always makes it to Paris. But this time our designer has joined rivals but I don't care. Gaya's can win through this. Correct!???'

I was looking at him dumbstruck???

He's talking work???

Did he just not realise that we were stuck in the worst situation possible???

If things don't go as planned we may end up marrying 😱😰😵 each other 😟🤐

But he's so cool about this???

He snapped finger to bring me back to this world.

'How can you just forget what happened 15 mins ago and get back to work Mr Kapoor?' I asked him blankly.

I saw a strong expression on his face.

'Lives don't stop when there is a tsunami or there is a Breeze Ms Sharma. There is no point to cry over what happened. If we don't work now then we are wasting our time. We know this engagement will happen, our names are maligned by media, our families are under tremendous pressure...so is there a point in worrying??? Can we both help this engagement be avoided??? No!!!

That's why I have hatched this plan. Till then enjoy the fame of being DK's fake fiance!!! ' he said with enough pride.

Something inside me burnt like hell!!!

'You think I am enjoying this??? Your stupid staff staring at me, my dad asking me to follow your steps, my Daadi fainting or for that matter being talk of the town not for work and just for that stupid accident!!!' I was again back to screaming at him.

'I told you to bloody tone down!!! You are a mere employee here!!!' he yelled...

'I prefer to remain a mere 'Nobody' to you outside this office too' I hissed back in anger 😠

'No one is forcing you to marry me Ms Sharma. We are stuck here... don't forget you tripped and fell on me and I lost balance and landed upon you!!! And we...kissed' he shouted...

'Ohhhh... Please stop!!! That garden moment when you were literally into my face... That shit looks like we were making out!!! For God's sake what happened in the pub wasn't even a real kiss" I screamed and next minute my face was all red...

I was flushed about what I said...

'So you want a real kiss now Ms Sharma😉' his voice came huskily when I noticed he bent towards me while still sitting on the chair...

My eyes popped out😳

'W....Wh...What...n...n...no...non...nonsss... nonsense!!!' i was shivering at his geeky expression!

His eyes...

There's something about it!!!

Im...

Im scared to look into them when he's too close!!!

'You literally shiver to death when I'm closer to you.... I like that fear!!! That's DK for you!!! Don't bloody ever raise your voice again on me!!!

Understand this!!! We are both tricked!!! There is no other way now and our families think we are perrrrrrfect for each other!!! Bloody crap!!!" He yelled...

That perfect had ounces of saracasm pouring!!!

I was quiet now!!!

He has this something to make me go blabbering as well as Shut my mouth!!!

Next minute I heard him...

'Eat the sandwiches and get back to work!!! You are Ahana's sister...She personally requested me to handle you with care till she meets you today evening... So just do as I say' he instructed.

I was angry with him. But then it was food. And I'm Ishaani 🙃

I can be angry on anything on earth except food.

Infact when I am angry I always eat more. So I quietly started eating. 🌭🍴

The speed I was eating he was shocked 😳

I literally finisht 4 big grill sandwiches and he looked at me like I was a three headed snake 🐍

That's when I realised I probably ate his breakfast too🙄😯

He cleared his throat and asked...
'Was that enough or you are still hungry...??? '

Well honestly I could eat these tasty sandwiches more... But I had to behave a certain way...so I just nodded a yes'

I can surely grab something on the way 😌

'Alright Pragati is outside... She will let you know what to do...' he said

While I was stepping outside he called me again...

'Ms Sharma...'

I turned around...

'At 4 pm sharp driver will pick you up and drop you to a parlour...Please make sure to collect your engagement dress from the reception. Daadi has ordered it for you. Should be delivered by 3pm today.'

I swallowed my saliva with the reality hitting me again...😶

Shit!!! Im gonna be engaged tonight 😰

I nodded my head mechanically while i was at the door...

He quickly got up and passed by my side opening his cabin door open ...

His shoulder brushed my shoulder...🔥

I heard him say close to my ears...😥

'See you in evening my dear fiance'  he had this stupid smirk which I wanted to permanently remove from his face!!!😏

He left!!!

I stepped out of his cabin... while I noticed his office which was staring at me was now looking down and had warmed up to me!!!

Even Pragathi smiled dearly saying...

'Ms Sharma...let me take you to the induction room'

I was surprised how world changes its stand in seconds...

Is it because now they know I'm going to get engaged to their boss?

I shook my head in disbelief!!!

Such manipulative two faced world we live in I wondered!!!

But I wasn't very upset now thinking yes...this engagement wasn't that worse...it handled a lot of mud slushing!!!

And anyways I'll break up with him in no time as per his plan😉

Not a bad deal Mr Kapoor I thought in my mind...

While I thought of him...his perfectly clenched jaws ..his pink lips ..his dark brown orbs....his perfect masculine body... The way his shirt stuck to his chest saying...yes I'm on a sexy body and I want to burst the buttons out and let the hard chest and abs come out in open...

He's devilishly hot and you can't deny!!!

What the F Ishaani!!! That man is sick... The amount of pants you ever wore in your 24 yrs of life is so less compared to the amount of pants he has got into!!!
Stay away from that Casanova!!!

***

(Soudamini Kapoor making announcement on stage)

Welcome everyone...

Im so excited and happy to have you all here...

Today is the happiest day of my life as I'm welcoming my grandson's Fiance to you followed by a small ring ceremony.

My long time dream is coming true...

My Dev is getting engaged to this lovely lady Ishaani❤️❤️❤️

Im so happy for you both my darlings...

So cheers to the hottest couple in town...

Saying Soudamini Daadi raised a toast!!!

In no time I was made to stand in front of him...

My heart was beating very loudly looking at this Greek god in front of me...

He wore a black suit!!! His deep eyes, his serious frown, perfectly gelled hair, his body structure...his bulked chest...🔥🔥🔥💋💋💋💥💥💥

How I want to be close to all this!!!💋

Wait a minute... Remember he's the Devil!!! He's a lie...he's a Casanova...a bloody flirt....away from him Ishaani... All this is a sham!!! So just stop ogling at this man!!!

Next second my mother handed a ring to me and I slid it into his finger silently without looking at his face again.

I made sure to not touch his fingers while sliding the ring!!!

He's fire...you wanna stay away from...my heart warned me loudly!!!

But what happened next hitched my breath...

He pulled me in one jerk holding my wrist and I was almost to crash into him.. but I somehow balanced myself!!!

My eyes met those sexy deep Devil-Orbs!!!👁️

And I felt the world stopped!!!

Next minute I felt something cold sliding on my ring finger!!!

I was brought back to this world by the applause around us!!!

That's when I noticed he had slided the ring into my ring finger!!!

It was a single diamond that shined brightly!!!

While he had the stupid smirk on his face and he still had the tight grip on my hand!!!

Reality hit me hard!!!

No escape!!!

Im engaged 💍 to the devil 😈 himself!!!
