Where My Heart Belongs

Chapter 194 " Rosebuds"(1)

Roxana: how come Gulab knows that Shivaay Singh Oberoi is in France?

Raja stared at her for a moment then he smirked and leaned forward

Raja: I don't really know, but we are not hiding Shivaay anyway, but my guess is that before Prince Pratap let all the Singh Oberoi live with him, he asked Gulab to know information about all of us or maybe Gauri just spoke about Shivaay when Gulab was there but that doesn't matter now, what matters is what you are planning to do! You are for sure not going to help Julio.

Roxana: of course I won't, I don't want to hurt papa anymore and make him much more disappointed in me, I don't want Surbhi to be hurt as well, I have my difference with Malika and all her family but at the end I am a woman and I can't tolerate what Julio is doing with Surbhi (then she frowned and said proudly) and I definitely don't want Hrithik at my feet or want anything to do with him after he told me he hates me

Raja smiled: so you don't love Hrithik anymore?
Roxana smiled half a smile: what you mean by love, Raja? I can commit to a relation, I can give my partner whatever he wants in a woman to be absolutely thankful for my presence in his life every single second; if that is the love you mean, then I don't love Hrithik anymore yes (then she said proudly) because I know now he doesn't deserve me

Raja: fair enough, I won't ask for more than that

Roxana smiled half a smile: you?!! But you are a commoner, Raja; I don't get in a relation with a commoner

Raja: I didn't say we will get married; I am just saying I am a good looking man, I am rich and I like to spoil girls; and I don't want from you but to take advantage of me (then he spread his arms) so enjoy

Roxana smiled and looked at him from head to toes

Roxana: I can consider your offer but first tell me more about yourself, I don't know anything about you

Raja smiled: Raja Singh Oberoi; I own an advertising agency; I had a villa in Tokyo but I moved here and I am thinking of renting...

Roxana: that is good, but tell me about Kamini Singh Oberoi, I am curious about your relation with her, she is very infamous in the royal community; you know

Raja smile vanished: she is my mother

Roxana: so? Do you love her or not?

Raja stared at Roxana for a moment then he said in low tone

Raja: she is my mother (then he smiled) what else you want to know about me?

Roxana: you think she loves you?
Raja smile vanished: no she doesn't; if anything I think she hates me as much as she hated my father; she just didn't find a reason yet to hurt me, not intentionally at least (then he said in low tone) but she gave everyone else lot of reasons to do so

And he looked at Roxana and then he instantly smirked

Raja smiled: and who am I to disappoint them and make them wrong about me?

Roxana smiled: and since the Singh Oberoi hate you (then she smiled) then she hurt them and hopefully she hurt Gauri as well
Raja: yes more than you can imagine (then he smiled) but be careful of Gauri, she was raised by my mother and learned from her not leaving a chance for revenge

Roxana smiled: yes I know but I don't think your mother was able to hurt Shivaay as well, I think from the way you care for him, he must care for you too then your relation was good beside he is rich and didn't need her or her mansion

Raja: actually it is quite the opposite, my mother is rich because of Shivaay's money, that she took from him when he was young and the mansion is Shivaay's but since he was just a baby he had no one in this world but my mother so we lived with him, his father left him totally in her mercy and of course my mother has none and her first lesson to me was to show Shivaay no mercy as well
