Chapter 5 - Separation-2

10 years later, Britain

At a British party, a lady named Rhea, in a black skin fit dress stood with a glass of champagne in her hand, her glance directed towards a guy with brown hair combed back neatly, his white shirt with royal blue trousers complimented his bronze skin completely,the seductive cut on his left eye brow added to his eyes which were a darker shade of brown which could make anyone fall for them.

As Rhea kept admiring his features, a man approached her for a dance which she smoothly rejected only to walk up to the man she had eyes on. Walking up to him from behind, she put up her hand on to his shoulder making him turn towards her to reveal his handsome face with the perfect jawline.She extended her hand with "May I be bold enough to ask you for a dance?

The corner of his lips curved upwards as he took her by hand to the dance floor.

The room was dimly lit with a large glass chandelier hanging on the ceiling. The ones attending the party were all elites of the city, the men in custom made suits and women in their gaudy dresses with a layer of makeup on their faces, the occasion being the 20th birthday of one of the most popular business tycoon of the city, who was now dancing with Rhea. At an early age, he was able to catch the attention of a renowned hotel chain owner from where, his journey was seen to start. At the age of 17, he opened up his own business and was the top business icon by now.

On the dance floor, the man held Rhea by her waist, grooving to the melody which was nearing it's end.The blonde lady had a perfectly curved body which attracted every male around her. She belonged to a high socialite family due to which parties like this were common to her but whatever happening today was new to her. Since she had laid her eyes on the man, she was spellbound, only to be "his".

Gathering all her charm, she whispered into his ear,"I want you,Rashid!"
