I HATE HIM!

Those were the very words that came into my mind, that I stopped from leaving my mouth while I was sitting in The Wedlock, my now officially favorite place in New York.

I woke up in a good mood, and since I had a leave today I decided to visit Maria and Mr. Johnson at the cafe. I picked up a newspaper and the very first news I saw was

"Lovers Re-United"

Now, nothing interesting unless I saw my photograph with Vivaan from yesterday! We were pictured entering the restaurant and then there was this picture of us leaning against his car. The shot was perfectly taken, it looks like as if he was going to kiss me.

He did it all deliberately!

I was so enraged! the article reads about how 'The run-away bride, Ruchi Shah is rekindling her relationship with tycoon Vivaan Kappor.' I was annoyed beyond my limits, that article talked a whole lot of Bullshit about me and him. They even speculate that we soon will 'tie the knot' now how crazy is this!

I was more than angry and in my fit of anger, I called Vivaan after reaching home as I tightly held that newspaper wrinkling it.

The number you are trying to reach...

I slammed my phone angrily on the bed, I tried 5 more times but his phone was off. I am by no means going to the Charity Ball now. People will speculate more. I so hate him for doing all this to me!

I was so angry and frustrated that tears started falling from my eyes. My frustration made me cry and this enraged me more. I had this very strong urge to break something, most prefrably Vivaan Kapoor's Spinal Chord.

Everything suddenly started to irritate me. Even my door bell! I composed myself and opened the door revealing two girls and a guy. I looked at them confused.

"Hello Ms.Shah. I am Akira, She is Lucy and he is Cole. We are here to get you ready for the ball." I looked at them one by one, they were innocent but my anger was unaware of the fact.

"No. Thank you!" I said angrily and slammed the door shut on their faces.
I know I was being a bitch, but my emotions were a tornado . I can't even make sense of anything. That shit piece of news affected me more than it should.

Suddenly my phone started ringing and I ignored it, tossing it under the pillows. I was deep in thought about this present situation. I can't really not go to this ball since disappointing Mr. Kapoor is not what I can afford right now. He gave me a chance and this was my chance to prove that I am worthy of his and his wife's forgiveness.

I could feel my phone vibrate, I picked it up, subconsciously knowing who it was.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Vivaan's voice held a dangerous thunder.

"Have you read the newspaper? I can't go to this ball today. It will only give more weightage to this news of us being involved." My voice was surprisingly calm.

"I read it. Stop paying attention to media, they always write bullshit about me. I've made sure they won't do it again. For now, stop being a bitch and let those poor kids do their work. I will see you at 7. Don't even try to ditch me again." I didn't like the way he said his last statement, but I let it pass and hung up on him before he could do it.

I also started to doubt if he was indeed innocent and didn't do anything deliberately. He sounded stressed too.

After a minute, there again goes my door bell and this time I opened the door to reveal Jai along with Akira, Lucy and Cole.
