In a luxurious party hall of a five-star hotel, Henry Wilson is celebrating his birthday party. Henry was over the moon with joy; he was extremely happy today.
But seeing Henry's happiness, someone's heart was burning like fire. Henry was eagerly waiting for someone. His eyes were constantly fixed on the entrance of the party hall. But seeing Henry waiting so anxiously, Richa Evans, a girl standing a little distance away, felt like her heart was on fire. Richa knew that Henry was waiting for her sister, Bella Evans. He was her childhood friend, and today, on his birthday, Henry was going to propose to Bella, but Richa couldn't tolerate this. She had liked Henry since childhood, but he never paid attention to her. It's not that she wasn't beautiful, but she paled in comparison to Bella, which is why she hated Bella intensely.
Finally, Henry's wait comes to an end. Bella enters the party hall. She was wearing a beautiful red dress that reached her knees, and it accentuated her figure perfectly. She had done light makeup, and her hair was slightly curled. She looked stunningly beautiful. As soon as Bella entered, everyone's eyes were on her. Walking in her high heels, she headed straight toward Henry. Seeing her, many people whispered to each other, "Look how beautiful that girl is. Isn't she Mr. Phillip Evans' granddaughter? She is so beautiful. Just like her mother, Mr. Evans' daughter was also incredibly gorgeous."
Henry's heart started beating faster as he saw Bella. She approached him and, shaking his hand, said, "Happy birthday, Henry." Henry quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Thank you, Bella."
Richa, standing a little distance away, was watching this. Seeing Bella close to Henry drove her mad with anger.
Richa called someone on the phone and said, "Charlie, what happened to the task I gave you? I need to ruin that girl today; I can't wait any longer." The person on the other end replied, "Don't worry, madam, everything is in place. My men have already reached there. You can proceed with your plan."
Richa hung up the phone and took something out of her purse. She mixed the powder from the packet into a soft drink and, with a dangerous smile, muttered to herself, "Now watch, Bella, the consequence of coming between Henry and me. I won't let you take him away from me at any cost. I'll avenge everything from childhood until today."
Richa handed the drink to a waiter, along with some money, and said, "That girl in the red dress over there, you must make sure she drinks this, no matter what!" Seeing the money, the waiter quickly agreed and took the tray straight to Bella.
Since Bella had just arrived, no one had served her a drink yet. Henry already had a glass in his hand, so he gestured for Bella to take the drink. Bella took the glass.
As Bella sipped from the glass, the smile on Richa's lips grew stronger.
Meanwhile,
In a private room, a dinner meeting was taking place concerning a deal.
On one side of the table sat a middle-aged man who was fat and dark-skinned. His clothes looked branded. He was trying to persuade a young man, around 25 years old with a strong personality, with his sweet talk. He was desperate to secure the deal by any means necessary.
The man said to the young man, "Mr. Daniel Smith, take the land, and we'll share the profits. This will benefit both of us. Just think about it, the land is worth a lot."
Before he could say anything more, Daniel Smith interrupted, "Mr. Brown, don't you think you're asking for too much? You shouldn't forget your place. You were only called to appraise the land, so I think that's all you should do."
Hearing Daniel Smith's words, Mr. Brown almost choked on his food. Daniel finished his drink and, standing up from the dinner table, said, "This meeting is over for today. It would be best if you sign the land papers by tomorrow morning." Saying this, he left with his bodyguard.
Mr. Brown was in shock. As soon as Daniel left, he hurriedly asked his manager, "Did you do what I told you?" The manager replied, "Yes, sir, everything is arranged. I hired Charlie for the job." Mr. Brown said, "This is our last resort to make a profit. After all, he is young and impulsive. Just wait, tomorrow he'll be very happy with my gift." The manager just nodded with a faint smile.
As soon as Bella drank the drink, she started feeling dizzy, and something strange started happening in her stomach. Realizing what was happening to her, she quickly headed to the restroom. But on the way, two hefty men grabbed her and forcibly took her to an unknown room. They tied her up. At first, Bella was terrified, but as the drug took effect, she lost all sense of reality.
As Daniel exits the private meeting room, he feels a heaviness in his head, as if he's getting drunk. At first, he thinks that perhaps he has had too much to drink, but when a strong drowsiness overtakes him, he realizes that something is wrong. He goes back to his hotel room, and his bodyguards stand guard outside.
As soon as Daniel enters the room, he hears the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. He takes off his coat and tie and heads straight to the bathroom. When he opens the bathroom door, he sees a beautiful girl standing under the shower, leaning against the wall. Her legs are trembling, and she is trying hard to keep her eyes. open, but they keep closing.
At first, Daniel thinks he might be imagining things due to the intoxication, so he shakes his head and rubs his eyes. When he looks up again, the same scene is still in front of him. He quickly realizes that the girl is real and not just a figment of his imagination.
The girl standing under the water looks like a mermaid, with her soft, fair skin, perfect figure, long golden hair, big eyes, thin lips, and a mesmerizing fragrance that was driving Daniel crazy. He had never felt anything like this for a girl before.
As the girl's trembling legs slip on the wet floor, Daniel quickly moves to catch her from falling. The girl also clings to Daniel for support, grabbing his shirt and leaning against his chest. Having her so close made Daniel's heart race, and his body started to heat up.
In her intoxicated state, the girl mutters, "I'm feeling so hot." Saying this, she starts to take off her dress. At first, Daniel tries to avert his eyes and looks around to calm himself, but the girl's. scent was drawing him in. He couldn't stop himself from getting lost in her. He helps her take off her dress, feeling her breath against his chest. Losing control, he starts kissing her intensely. The girl, unable to resist and unaware of what was happening, is carried to the bed by Daniel, who continues to kiss her, completely lost in her.
Meanwhile, in the party hall, Richa was very pleased. She knew that Raghu's men had taken Bella away while she was intoxicated. She thought to herself that tomorrow morning would bring a dreadful darkness to Bella's life. She had always wanted to see her destroyed, and now her dream was coming true. After tonight, Bella would fall even further in. everyone's eyes, and she would be so disgraced that she wouldn't be able to show her face to anyone. And she would never come between her and Henry again.
While Richa was so happy, Henry was frantically searching for Bella throughout the party hall. Seeing Henry so worried for Bella made Richa uncomfortable.
Henry approaches Richa and asks, "Have you seen Bella anywhere? I've been looking for her for a while now, but I can't find her anywhere. Her phone isn't reachable either."
Hearing Henry, Richa pretends and says, "The last time I saw her was when she was talking to you. I haven't seen her since then. Maybe she's around here somewhere."
Listening to Richa, Henry, looking worried, says, "If you see her, please tell her that I was looking for her." Richa nods in agreement with a faint smile and mutters to herself, "Sorry, Henry, but you're not going to find her now. And maybe after tomorrow morning, you won't even want to. With this thought, Richa takes a sip from her drink, and her smile grows stronger. Her face was filled with the joy of victory.
Henry searched for Bella everywhere, but he couldn't find her. He was planning to confess his feelings to her tonight. He had even gotten a special, expensive diamond ring made for her. He wanted to propose to her tonight, but not being able to find her ruined all his plans. His excitement and anxiety had turned into sadness and helplessness. He wondered how Bella could leave without telling him. If she had arrived and had something urgent to do, she should have at least informed him before leaving. He had also planned to cut his birthday cake with her, which is why he wanted to propose to her first, but now she was nowhere to be found.
Just then, his friends called him to cut the cake.
Henry cut his birthday cake reluctantly and celebrated with everyone. His eyes kept waiting for Bella until the party ended, but only Richa knew that his wait would never end.
After the party, everyone went home, and Henry was left very sad. He had liked Bella since childhood, but they had only remained good friends. He had never confessed his feelings to her because he didn't know what was in Bella's heart. But even today, his feelings remained unspoken.
What new twist will tomorrow bring in Bella and Daniel's life?
