His Bride: When Fate Made Her Fake

|| 7. TRUTH ||

CEO CHAMBERS
PSR GROUPS, NEW DELHI

"Hello! What's the matter now?"

"Can we go for a dinner date tonight?"

"Certainly not Aditi and I have told you numerous times not to call me in my office hours." The phone slammed with a force enough to alert Mihir Arora who was working in the adjoining cabin in the Raman Bhalla chamber only. He closed his files and moved towards his friend who was looking visibly puzzled and anxious.

"Hey Raman! What happened? You look tense."

"What else you expect from me? I have deliberately involved a girl in my life who is a pure gold digger, my business is dooming and yes despite trying alot, I am unable to finalise my meeting with Hexa Telecom but they are not ready to respond back."  Raman rubbed his forehead looking outsider through his cabin. It's been more than a month since he is trying to strike the deal with Hexa Telecom but the luck is not favouring him. First they proven insufficient and incapable at the time of final presentation and other he is on the verge of bankruptcy. Despite being sole heir of multi millions he didn't have a single penny to use right now. What irony is destiny playing with him.

"You guys have not been married yet and you already started having issues with her." Mihir commented he is unable to understand why his smart friend started acting like an ass.

"I always had issues with her, and yes I agreed to marry her because I am trapped."

"You could have wait."

"Wait!! Few more weeks and this groups would be start dooming. Someone spread this news that Bhalla Group's is running out of funds. More than fifty thousand employees are working under Bhalla Groups Mihir. I cannot ignore them for the sake of my ego." Raman leaned back against his chair and started rubbing his forehead, Mihir sighed coldly understanding the gravity of Raman words pretty well. For Raman, marriage is like a well in front, a ditch behind. He has dedicated his life to this business Empire, he understands how much this business means to him whereas marriage is nothing but just a compromise he is going to make for the sake of his business. Bhalla Groups is not some small scale industry, it's one of India largest Bevregae, Tech and Textile groups and they need millions to operate the same. He is surely not thinking about himself this time but would it be fair for him to get marry someone out of love?

Yes he is a rude and arrogant for an entire world but deep inside he is a scared child who need to be loved. He deserve a woman who can love him unconditionally and Aditi Rajput is surely not the one for him.

"Where you have lost?" Raman snapped his finger infront of Mihir eyes making him come out from his thoughts.

"Nothing I am just thinking that you need an efficient staff. I mean an efficient personal staff which you're lacking after Ms. Iyer termination."

Raman shut his eyes tightly as her name mentioned by Mihir. Ms. Iyer is still making mess with his brains.

"Raman, have you ever tried to investigate what exactly happened that evening? I still feel you made decision in a rush."

"How does it matter anymore Mihir? The truth shall remain same that I lost such important contract and I might not be able to get that back."

"It shall make difference. What if you punished someone innocent." His PA face flashed infront of his eyes as Mihir mentioned about that evening. There is not a single day passed when he didn't think about her, his heart nags him constantly for being unfair with her but he had no guts to find out if he was really wrong.

He hate being proven as wrong, what if it actually happened?

Raman twitched his lips with annoyance and leaned back on his seat looking aimlessly anywhere. Varun, who has started working in his personal team knocked the door to get his attention.
