Chapter 43 - 43. Help me

She had a pretty face, her features exquisite, and her lips were a cherry blossom shade.

Her eyes were full of life and seemed to hold an entire galaxy—stunningly bright.

Even Karthik, who was used to seeing belles and beauties all the time, was in awe for a moment.

He watched for a short moment before speaking to her coldly, "Get out of there yourself. I'm giving you one minute to vanish from my room."

The woman slowly looked up.

First she knitted her brows ever so slightly, then she looked at him. She reached her hand out.

When he did not respond to her, she grabbed his pants.

Karthik froze as his muscles tensed up. His eyes move downward to the face of that girl and he froze, Divya.

The girl he saw disappear and now Divya is sitting in front of him. In depth of his eyes were a hint of surprise.

Before he figured his thoughts out, the woman had already gotten off the floor and wrapped her arms around his neck. She tiptoed slightly and gave him a peck on his cool lips.

She looked up at him with those wide, soulful eyes and said, "Help me."

...

A young woman was sleeping soundly on the king-size bed in a hotel room, which was decorated with a royal theme.

Her slim and delicate body was exposed. She felt her body was slowly becoming hot and her legs unconsciously rubbed against each other.

She felt that she was caught in a dream in which she had always told herself to wake up, but failed no matter how hard she tried.

Meanwhile...

Karthik took a deep breath and tried very hard to suppress his anger.

This woman had better explain to him why she was here.

Time went on and on. Karthik couldn't take it anymore. He stood up and walked up to her.

Suddenly, Riya felt a strong hand grabbed her legs and drag her down the bed.

"Ahh..." Riya screamed. She sat up in bed in a daze and then her head started to ache again because of her getting drunk yesterday.

Dazed, but still conscious, she looked up to see a man standing beside the bed with his cold, deep blue eyes staring intently at her.

She froze at a glance.

It was not because the man was ugly, otherwise, he was too handsome.

He has a dark brown hair, a pink thin lips. His features were deep and perfect, like a fine work of art. Her gaze traveled down to his body and noticed how noticeable his muscles are. He was good looking, but he gave her a strong sense of oppression. He's Karthik Kapoor. Her eyes widened at realisation.

Riya looked around and sense something different.

Where is this place?

She looked at the man in front of her and asked in horror. "Why I'm here?"

Karthik frowned and said in a low voice, "Why are you pretending?"

Riya was shocked.

What was he talking about?

She raised her eyes and looked at the man. She couldn't help, but scream, "I don't know what you are talking about"

Seeing her like this, Karthik sneered and said sarcastically. "You ran into my room last night and here you are playing dumb with me"

"What?" Riya was stunned.

Did she heard him wrong?

She ran into his room last night?

"Tell me, who asked you to come here? What is your purpose?"

He asked. His voice was deep and rich, but cold and cruel.

Karthik long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her big eyes widened. "What are you talking about?" She retorted in confusion.

"What's your purpose?" he asked coldly.

Riya was shocked. When she saw the anger and seriousness in his eyes, she quickly lowered her eyes and said, "Maybe it was a mistake. I did not come into your room to do anything bad or to hurt you"

"Mistake?" Karthik smiled coldly.

He did not believe that she mistakenly entered his room.

'Her acting is quite convincing, right?'

He thought.

Riya eyes scanned through the room subconsciously, then the memories of last night slowly flashed across her mind.

Last night, she went out with her colleagues and crew members, he's also present there, director was throwing a success party for the wrap up of their London sedule, but how did she end up in his room.

Where did Ziya go?

Karthik's gaze was steady as it soaked up every detail of her face. His cold eyes rested on Riya for a moment and there was a flicker of angry recognition in the deepest, blackest part of them.

After looking at her for a few seconds, he turned around and walked into the bathroom.

Riya looked at her body and noticed she was naked. She screamed and quickly grabbed the duvet to cover herself.

How did she end up in this place?

While she was at a loss of what to do, she heard footsteps again. Karthik was coming back. She wrapped herself tightly to prevent her body from being exposed.

Karthik threw her clothes at her.

"What? Are you not going to leave? Do you still want to continue?"

This words escaped his delecable lips. His voice was deep, yet there was this seductive tone that resonated in her. There was also slight accent that followed his words and it felt as if he was caressing her without even touching her.

After that, he turned around and walked into to bathroom again.
