ARYAN's POV:

I got ready in a well-tailored black suit and started wondering why she was taking so much time. I checked my watch impatiently but then heard the click of her heels approaching. When I looked up, I was taken aback by how stunning, fucking shit she looked in that dress. I couldn't help but regret my earlier decision.

"Ahem, ahem," she cleared her throat purposefully, and I suspected she noticed me eyeing her.

"You should change that dress," I blurted out, "otherwise, it will be too hard to focus on work instead of you."

"What?" she exclaimed.

"Yes, please go and change. I think you're right; it's too revealing," I insisted.

"No, I'm wearing this, and I'm not changing. Otherwise, I'm not going," she firmly replied, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"Okay, let's go," I sighed, resigning myself to the situation, but still regretting my decision.

|AT THE CLUB|

"You'll add this to their drinks," Afsar instructed, handing a small bag of drugs to a waitress and showing her a picture of Aryan and Arya.

"Okay, sir," the waitress acknowledged before disappearing into the crowd.

"Finally, he'll be mine," Tiara exclaimed in excitement.

"Wait, let me tell you my plan," Afsar said, leaning closer. "When Aryan gets high, you'll take him to his room, and then... you know what to do."

Continuing with a sinister grin, he added, "And then Arya will be left alone here. I'll handle her; she'll be in my bedroom."

They clinked their drinks together and laughed, their devious plan set in motion.

Aryan and Arya entered the club, but Arya looked uncomfortable seeing people sweating and half-drunk. Aryan instructed her to sit down while he went to the counter and took a stool. He ordered a drink and began analyzing the situation in the bar.

As he sat on the stool, some girls approached him, making advances inappropriately. One girl leaned in to show off her cleavage. and asked if he would buy them drinks. Another placed her hand on his thigh. Meanwhile, Arya was watching in anger, expecting him to stop them. When a waitress approached Arya with a drink, she initially declined, but when she saw Aryan, he let them be. Then she took the drink and downed it quickly, finding it bitter.

Aryan was trying to extract information from the girls by buying them drinks and engaging in conversation. However, he heard loud music in the background and glanced at Arya, only to find her missing. He looked in the direction of the music and saw her dancing seductively with a group of guys.

The same waitress approached Aryan with another drink, and he took it angrily, gulping it down. He then noticed a guy getting too close to Arya, touching her inappropriately and grabbing her thighs as she danced. Furious, Aryan intervened, pushing people aside and grabbing Arya's hand, insisting they should leave.

He said, "Let's go." However, Arya resisted, wanting to continue dancing.

" No, I want to dance. "

Aryan couldn't convince her, so he picked her up in a bridal style and carried her out of the club. When they reached their hotel room, he placed her on the bed. 

She complained about not being allowed to dance and asked, "Why didn't you let me dance?"

His head was spinning from the alcohol, and he replied, "Dance? Those guys were all over you!"

But Arya interrupted, "So what? You were also flirting with those girls." The drug had started to affect them both, leading to a heated argument. His head was spinning from the effects of drugs.

|BACK AT CLUB|

 The waitress approached Afsar, saying, "Sir, I completed my work." 

 Tiara, on the other hand, started making her way towards the counter but couldn't find any sign of Aryan. Her voice filled with concern, and she exclaimed, "Afsar, where is Aryan? He isn't here!"

 Afsar replied, "What? You were supposed to be with him. You should know where he went."

 Tiara, growing increasingly worried, replied, "I don't know. A minute ago, he was here, and now he's gone." 

 Afsar questioned in a tense tone, "Arya, where is she?"

 Tiara realized the situation and said, "If they both are high and they're both not here, that means..."

 Both of them looked at each other in shock. Tiara began to cry, saying, "I knew it. That's why I said it was risky. Now they'll get even closer." 

 Afsar, rubbing his head in frustration, shared the tension as they realized the potential implications of Aryan and Arya's absence.
