The Billionaire's Bride

Chapter Two : Mr.Aryan Kapoor

Aryan's Pov

Knock knock knock.

I look up from my work and glare at the door.How many times must I tell these incompetent people?Rule no.7.Knock only once.My ears is working perfectly!

"Come in."I say calmly.The person comes in and I see it's one of my employees.One of my useless employees.No need to reprimand him.He will be leaving soon anyway.
He starts sweating profusely and gulps,"S-sir,you called for me."

I nod, looking through the file of complaints against him.It would seem that he has been slacking off,taking days off and his work is  not even average.

"You know why you're here,Mr.Matur.My company is not a holiday resort.I don't like people who are lazy and who are not serious with their work ethics.You are fired.Leave."

His eyes widen in shock,"Sir, I'm sorry! I'll work harder,sir.Dont—"
I glare at him and he shuts his mouth.He gulps hard and leaves.

I   get an email from my PA Kansan and realise that I have two meetings left for today.One at Anuradha Café and the other at the office later on.I sigh, straightening my tie when I hear my phone ring.I frown as I see my mom on the phone screen.

Dad won't disturb me at work and I can get away with things.But mom....she is very stubborn until she gets what she wants.

Again she will pester me about meeting that girl.Isn't it enough that I will get married?I have seen the girl's picture.She's good for the media and to show as my wife.I'm too busy for any personal life especially with girls these days.They require a lot of time,money, and attention which I can't give.

I pick up the call,"Yes,mom."

"Aryan!I have called you 3 times today!You gave me many excuses but today I don't want to hear it.You will meet  Anya today!"
I sigh.Better get this over with and see what I'm getting myself into.

"Fine.Tell her to meet me at Anuradha Café at..."I look at my watch,"2pm."

"Really!?Thank you,beta.Don't worry,you will like her.She's a lovely girl!"

"Hmm."

After that talk with my mother,I get ready to go out for the meeting.
I hope the girl does not do anything which will irritate me.I put my shades on and ignore the stares as I walk pass my employees.

******************

"Sir,would you like anything else?"the waiter asks.
"No."I say and he leaves.
I check my emails and tap my fingers on the table.I'm losing my patience.She's  half an hour late... I'm only here for my mother's sake...if she doesn't—

"Excuse me?Are you Aryan?"I hear a voice say and I look up.
"Yes,you must be Anya Malhotra."I gesture for her to sit down.

As soon as she sits down,I speak,"You're half an hour late."
She smiles,"Yes, fashionably late."

I raise my eyebrow,"Now that we are going to get married,you should know some things about me.Just know that you shouldn't expect too much from this marriage."

She frowns,"What do you mean,Aryan?"
Aryan!She calls me Aryan like we are already married to each other.

"I mean I'm a workaholic and I also have a few rules.Rule no.1,Always  listen to what I say and obey me.Rule 2.Respect my parents and never talk back to them or me.Rule 3,always call before coming to my office.Rule 4, You need to look your best when coming with me to business parties.Rule 6, Don't disturb me and irritate me.Rule 7—"

"What's all this!?"she yells and I glare at her,"Don't  interrupt me.If you want to marry me,you should follow my rules.You will obviously sign a prenup before we get married.I will not mind if you work ...in fact I think you should keep yourself busy."

She stares at me in shock,"Prenup?Work?Um...Aryan,I need to go home as I'm not feeling well."she rushes out and I stand up.She is overacting.It's just a few rules.
Anyway I need to go back to work.I wasted 20 minutes of my time talking to my fiance about rules.I hope that she can be more sensible and mature in the future.For a minute there I thought that she will get angry and scream at me.

Third pov

"He was so sweet and such a gentleman.He pulled out my chair for me to sit and he ordered food for me."Anya says in a voice filled with awe,her parents beaming with excitement and her sister curious for more details.

"And?What jiju said?"
"He said that we should get to know each other better.He also said that he will support me  in the future...and I don't need to work if I don't wish to.He asked to take things slow and if we could be friends first."

Piyashi smiles,"Aww,Jiju is so sweet."
Reema nods, smiling."Yes,Anya.You are so lucky to get someone like Aryan beta.Most boys nowadays are so disrespectful."

Internally,Anya fumes."Yes,very lucky."At first ,when she came to meet him...she was so excited.When she saw him,she nearly  fainted.He's so handsome.Black elegantly styled hair,green eyes, straight nose and  pink full lips.He has a sharp jawline and he looks  a model.His voice is so deep and intense.He's tall,muscular and has fair skin with a little stubble on his jaw.He has the looks but he's so rude.I didn't tell them about the prenup.I will tell them later on...maybe I can convince him to drop that idea.

She  hears a beep beep from her phone and  her eyes widens as she sees 37 missed calls from Tarun.She sighs, he's starting to get annoying and clingy.Its time to break up with him and make Aryan fall for me.

Piyashi's pov

I   just finish eating the ice cream when I hear  talking coming from di's room.It's almost 11pm.She is usually having her beauty sleep at this time.I walk closer to her closed door and press my ear on it.

"No,Sumi.I can't!I have to plan something else for that."My eyebrows furrow in confusion.

She sighs,"Yes,I broke up with Tarun....He didn't take it well and he  got really angry.I'm not doing anything like that."
I hear her pacing as she continues,"No one can find out what I'm planning especially my family."

Planning?What does she mean?
She just broke up with Tarun
I had thought that she broke up with him a long time ago.
"Yes...good night."

I walk back to the room trying to solve this mystery.Anya is up to something but I don't think that it's for the wedding because she wants this wedding to happen.Maybe it's just a surprise.What am I thinking?Anya  will never do anything bad.I should just go to sleep.
