Riddhima 's Pov

It was so uncomfortable and awkward . Mr Raisinghania practically was rocking me in his arms,like a baby, It was an arduous task for me to play a lovey dovey girlfriend infront of everyone, especially Kabir. It took a good amount of rehearsal in my apartment where Mr Raisinghania teach how to blush and act like a girl who is too mushy to be in love. Honestly speaking,I didn't need to fake my accent and or do any extra job. My only role was to deliver the dialogue with a coy smile, that he taught me in our apartment. The dialogues he had chosen to act the part was worthy enough to make someone blush. Making every single person present in the drawing room, agaped, he took me upstairs. Frankly, I was though feeling wiered, I was liking it too. His woody musk, his warmth, the way he was pampering me even if it was a lie was welcoming. I never knew a business tycoon like him could be such a great actor.

"Put me down Mr Raisinghania". I said.

Its so embarrassing to be in someone's arms for such a long time.

The moment he did that, I almost ran to his room.

The moment I entered the room, I could smell a faded aroma of Lencom Tresor and Tommy girl Something is definately wrong. This is not the perfume used by Riddhima. My senses told me that something is off. Did somebody enter my room without my permission? I have been fucking women since that bitch betrayed me. I know that perfume speaks about class and money. I looked around minutely. Everything is fine. No one has the guts to open my room without my permission, unless Mangesh would have come to clean it.

He usually came at 8 a.m. and he cleans my bedsheet and other furniture in my presence. Ah! I was in Cafe Haze, when he came today. But Mangesh cannot afford such costly perfume.
Nonetheless I will certainly find it later.

When I entered my room, I saw Riddhima was sitting on the bed hanging her leg in the corner of the mattress. She is looking like a cute baby panda wrapped in a saree. I smiled at her. I was about to say her something, then, immediately my eyes fell on the vase. Why it is a little bit tilted? Did Mangesh forget to keep it properly? Why am I having a feeling that something is really off here?
I turned to Riddhima

She was biting her nail nervously. She looks adorable when she does that.

Vansh glanced at Riddhima and smiled. She needs to be comfortable in this room..

"Sugar! You can change and have a bath. There is a huge bathroom. A tiny baby like you will surely fit there!
Go and Change. Riddhima blushed like a beetroot as she wondered what else he would use as endearments.

Ishani settled on her bed. She switched on her laptop, that was connected to the cctv chip she has connected to the wire behind the vase.

Ritu eagerly sat beside her with a big bucket of popcorn and two glasses filled with cola.

"Let's enjoy the show"

With lots of hesitation, I entered the bathroom. I am not very comfortable using others bathrooms like this. I cannot ask Mr Raiainghania for a separate one. That will surely not go well with the pretentious live -in relationship we both are enacting. The bathroom made me agaped. Is it even a bathroom?

Half of our kitchen,bathroom and drawing room will fit into it. When I went inside, I understood
that the outermost door of the  bathroom is made up of wood.

The interior of the bathroom is however

segregated with sliding door. In the left corner, there is a broad wooden cabinet with some dry white towels inside. A small drawer stuffed with loofahs of different colours and condoms of many flavors. This guy also keeps condoms in the bathroom ?? Oh my god! Is he even real?

The walls of the first part were adorned with milky white tiles, a wash basin and a toilet of the same color. There were a wide array of lotions, pee safe, soaps and many other toiletries, with different brands. Half of the name was written in French. I suddenly felt very awkward, as I couldn't read a single word. It feels as if I have been deported to a lavish bathroom of a mafia tycoon, exactly what I have  read in Inkitt and Wattpad.

I glanced through the other part of the sling door. The second half of the bathroom is like a dream

It was adorned with tiles with
azurine blue  with a rippling effect. A big bathtub was in the middle and a shower on top of my head. I really got confused. There are so many taps and apparatures. Which one should I press? Neither the shower nor the bathtub is suitable for me. I realized that Phobia of getting drenched by streaming water of shower is engulfing me. Bathing in a bathtub is a far cry. The moment I will put my feet into it, the flashes of my maa drowning in the pond, her helpless cry,will flash  near my eyes. I shut my ears and eye tightly. Those memories are resurfacing back again. I could feel the gushing sound of water coming gradually towards me. I will soon be drowning in it. I will die by choking. The crystal blue surrounding is fading in front of the eye replacing a black hollow.

It had been almost 15 minutes, when Riddhima didn't return. Does she take such long hours to take shower? I contemplated. Then, suddenly, it struck me that Riddhima is aquaphobic. I rushed towards the washroom, She was standing like a statue near the bathtub. Bloody hell! She again was having her panic attack.

"Sugar "! his strong musk and his tap on my shoulder, made me shudder at once, I spun around at once, and my hands pressed a tap. A gush of streaming water was falling on both of us. I literally clung to his body and hugged him in the process of tearing the first three buttons of his shirt.

The cold water swooshed down our body. I was not able to keep my eyes open properly. My head was spinning around. He held me towards his torso by his hand, giving support to my waist. My hands were on his milky white torso. I could sense the fragrance of menthol and his perfume.Then I realized I have seen a good number of Menthol body wash and soap. He even uses menthol shampoo. That's the reason why he smells so refreshed. Our noses were so close. So little gap between our lips. It was then when I realized that his lips are pink..A tinge shade of pink blossoms that blooms in the cherry tree. I never thought I could describe a man 's lips in such a way. He gently slid aside my hair that was stuck in my face. The backless blouse I was wearing, had now turned into my second skin. I could realize that my nipples are getting peaked by the water penetrating my body through the cover that was barely covering my dignity. The string of the blouse was practically useless. Untying it in a flickering of a second, Mr Raisinghania can take my erected nubs in between his tongue. What will it look like if he does so? I suddenly felt so aroused by the thought, that I totally forgot Who I am?.and what kind of phobias I have to deal with everyday !! My senses were starting to go out of control. I was feeling extremely sleepy as if I had not been in bed for hours. I was worn out as a rag. The moment, as if had reached the point of stagnation. I was not able to stand erect anymore.

Soon, My wet body dropped on his torso. I could only hear that he was trying to wake me up. I don't want that. I really need closure. I am tired of my life. I don't want to open my eyes, at least not today..

She had gone through a lot in the past two nights. I gently picked her up and took her out of the bathroom. I sighed. What a poor little bunny rabbit!!

As Vansh carried Riddhima towards his room. Ritu and Ishani 's eyes widened in shock. They could clearly see Vansh "s unbuttoned chest and Riddhima clinged to him by holding his shoulder in a bridal style. It seems they were enjoying a sensual bath. Both were drenched in water, Water was dripping from their bodies. Vansh laid her down on the mattress.

I wish we could see the footage of the bathroom. Ritu's ears turned pink, at how shameless her sister was. She immediately shut the laptop.

It was not that Ritu was decent enough to respect their privacy. It was just that she couldn't be fearless and brusque like her sister. She was equally eager to know how much intimate Vansh and Riddima were

Areh di! Ishani gritted in agitation. Why did you shut the laptop? We could have enjoyed a live show! You are such a spoilt sport...she whined.

Shut up yar Ishani ! Don't act like a voyeur! Don't worry! We will get better instances to check them out! Ritu laughed.

" If they are really in a relationship, we will find it soon. Now go and get ready. Samaira wanted to meet us in Hotel Blue Carbuncle. She has some serious business.

Caressing her hair gently. Discarding my wet shirt in the net basket, I took my cargo and went to the bathroom, but not before calling Mrs Dsouza, informing her to dry up Riddhima and change her clothes. I glanced at the little thing who was sleeping like a chubby doll. I smiled at her and wore my black t-shirt. Grabbing my laptop case and my phone, I moved to my study.

"Vansh is preparing to launch a fashion show"..Samaira informed Ishani and Ritu. As the three of them were enjoying aromatic oil massage in the exclusive spa of the hotel.

"How did you not know this Ishani?" Samaira taunted her. Vansh is your brother after all. "

"I am not interested in his business. Ishani rolled her eyes.She is only tolerating this snooty woman, as they have joined hands.

" How did you know about this "? asked Ritu.

" The girl named Zayra who works in VR 's office is my personal hairdresser 's niece. I have my connections Ritu. Don't forget I am a Gladrag winner.

Why are you interested in Vansh Bhai 's charitable fashion show? Ishani asked, hiding her displeasure.

"Because I will be its show stopper ".she smirked

"And You think he will allow that. Ritu asked-

"Neelam Parihar " , the girl who won Miss Femina India had already grabbed the deal. said Ishani .

"I am impressed Bitch! Samaira laughed. Then why did you say that you have no interest in Vansh "s fashion show.

"Who doesn't know the news Sam? winked Ritu. We live in a world of Digitalization."

And you know right I love fashion.boasts Ishani.

'And...don't you love diamond Gattina (Kitten)? Samaira pressed exactly the right nerve, which she knows will work.

"Clear my way towards Vansh! A Dee Bears exclusive collection will reach your wardrobe.

Why do you want to be a model to a charitable occasion?' Ishani still was curious.

"It will add a feather to my hat and one step to the man whom I lost due to your dickhead brother.'' said Samaira pinpointedly, as she clutched her towel around her body and instructed the spa girl to arrange her bath.

Chetan took out his gold chain around his neck. It was the last piece he could afford to lose. Otherwise these hoodlums will drag his pants out. It was a special gold chain. Ritu gifted him 6 years ago when they got married. She made a promise that he will never ever lose or spoil it. Who keeps promises after 6 years of marriage? Their relationship and sex life has started mumbling the expiary date. She will not even notice it. Chetan finished his last drink and started walking towards his car staggering. A drunkard at night considers himself a king. But will be battered like a beggar in the morning by his wife.

Shock! I think that is the expression by which I can emote myself. Until yesterday I was a nobody. But today, when I got down from his black Mercedes, The students who were standing here and there with their satchel happily gave me the way to pass. Vansh Sir had to go for a meeting with some Model name Nilam Parihar for his charitable fashion show.
She had suddenly fallen from the staircase and had to be admitted to the hospital. It's my habit to grab a coffee and review my notes at a corner table of the Canteen. Usually I had to pursue the errand boy to serve me a warm cup of coffee at least five to six times. But today, when I was just going to sit on the chair. He came running. He started wiping the dust off the chair which was actually invisible. Then he placed a pretty clean mug full of coffee, brewing the smell of hazelnut. Then he placed a grilled sandwich, potato fingers with ketchup on my table. He greeted me as Madam throughout and kept asking me if I needed something. The same saga continued, in the queue of the washroom and library as well. Had it been another day, they would have ignored me as plague,but today, they literally paved my way to where I want to go.

"She is enjoying the perks of being VR "s fiancee. said Kabir to Gunjan who was looking at the way Riddhima was receiving a special treatment."

"But she is wearing her same old Kurta and Pyjamas. Then what is the point of being a fiancee of VR!"

"That's exactly your job Gunjan. Kabir stuffed a bunch of notes in her hand. I want to know every single detail of Riddhima. And you will be paid more as you keep doing the job. Gunjan smirked inwardly. It was an easy busy task for her. In a wink of an eye, she will find out if Riddhima was lying or not.

What do you think How Neelam fell from the stairs? Will Gunjan ever be able to expose Riddhima "s fake engagement?

Precap- Vansh teaches Riddhima her first lesson of confidence. Vansh is shocked to see Samaira is the show stopper. Aangre debited 35 lakhs cash and delivered it to Vansh for the fashion show. Gunjan harras Riddhima. Will Riddhima be able to overcome her fear?
