Twisted Temptation

Chapter 1

The venue was decorated with such vigour that the entire Mumbai knew about the party held. Everybody was invited in the party. The guests ranged from rich conglomerates, businessman and even ministers. The hall sparkled due to the richness on show.

Aria descended down the stairs in a couture gown drowned in liquid glow. The chandelier Earrings glowing under the light showing of the richness and design of the diamonds. Her eyes raked over every person in the room until it was placed on her desired person. Her eyes crinkled up in a smile.

She made her way across the hall to the person who was standing with three other men wearing expensive suits. "Papa." Her sweet voice made the four people turn their heads. Aria went to her father wrapping an arm around his arm. Ronit smiled. He automatically leaned down to kiss her forehead. "You have such a sweet daughter Mr. Mehra." One of the guest said.

Ronit just smiled nodding his head. "Indeed she is the sweetest." Aria's eyes sparkled as he said that. The relation between the father and daughter was one of the kind. He loved her very much and won't even hesitate to give her anything for her happiness and for aria he was the best father she could ever get.

"Can I steal your sweet girl for a moment Uncle?" another voice came. Aria moved her head and saw her boyfriend Rohan standing there dressed like a prince charming in a three piece suit with the blazer buttons open. She gave him a smile. Ronit nodded and rohan gave him a smile and held aria's hand pulling her away with him.

"You are beautiful baby." Rohan complimented as they both stood close to each other at a side. "You too." Aria said her head leaning on his arm. Rohan wrapped his hand around her waist pulling her closer and kissing her forehead.

"You shouldn't have come if you knew you are going to be get bored." He stated seeing her tired face. These business parties sure are boring. He even realized how much attempts it took for his father to get him dressed like that and 2 minutes into the party he lost his father in a sea of people.

Aria chuckled. "My brothers are planning to kill you I guess, looking at the glare they are giving you." Rohan scoffed looking at two of her brothers standing at the corner. "As if."

They couldn't. Both of them knew. Not only was he the son of the partner of ronit but also he was the person who makes their sister smile and they could tolerate him for their sister.

"I actually brought a gift for you."

"A sexy lingerie?"

Rohan looked at her weirdly giving her a side way which made aria smirk. "Sesh that's gross."

Before aria could retort a loud gunshot went off in the hall. Aria froze. Rohan held her tightly pulling her closer to him and frantically looked around trying to figure out what happened. People were running here and there hysterically like madmen.

The crowd pushed both of them making aria slip from rohan's grip. She found herself in the middle looking scared trying to find her brothers and her father. Her heart thumped inside her heart. Fear crept up in her chest as the crowd pushed her. The number of guests were huge. Aria couldn't make out what was happening.

And ever so lost in the chaos of the bustling party she felt a touch. A touch that awakened every body cells of her. A hand wrapped around her and she was pulled closer. She was turned around swiftly like a doll and came face to face with the owner of the hand and the touch that awakened her sensed.

Tall and brooding. The facial features were all chiselled and sharp. The piercing brown eyes gazed into her raking his eyes around her face. The depth of the eyes was infinite and aria lost herself into it. An air of confidence and mystery along with hints of danger lingered around the man. She lost herself in the magnetic pull of the man.

The spark between them ignited and aria felt it. The man tore his face from her face and looked around assessing the hall. But aria couldn't move her gaze. She felt drawn towards him as she lost herself in the moment and all the swirling voices were tuned out from her mind.

A grip formed around her wrist. A gentle yet firm grip. She was pulled by her hand guided through the crowd of hysterical people panicking and yelling. Soon she found herself in a quit place. She looked around and frowned. Where the hell was she? "Where are we?" she quietly asked. She was still shaken up and the man who was walking in front was a stranger.

"Don't be afraid princess... your father ordered me to get you home safely." Oh god. Even the voice of the man was hell sexy. But she didn't have time for that. She was genuinely scared. Aria looked around and then at the man and in a swift motion she forcefully took her hand back.

The man looked at her with wide eyes and tried to walk to her but aria backed away. "Stop right there. You think I would believe you. How can I trust you? All I can know that maybe you will kidnap me." She spat with venom laced in her voice. The man looked at aria with annoyed irritated eyes.

"You know what you can go and fuck off...I am not going with you." Aria turned preparing to leave but was grabbed by her wrist and turned around. A cold metal placed against her forehead. Her breath hitched as she found fiery glazed eyes looking at her with darkness. "You can die for all I care. But your father assigned me a job and god forbade if I fail to do this job. So either you come with me or I won't have a problem in knocking you out. Fucking bitch."

Aria seethed in anger hearing his words. More gunshots were heard and she flinched turning her head back. By that time the man has already held her hand and pulled her outside. Aria struggled to run but the man showed no mercy. He harshly dragged her and soon they reached the open surrounding.

A black Porsche was standing there. "Get in." the man harshly spat looking back continuously. Aria sighed. She doesn't have another choice. But an evil smirk gazed upon her face as she stomped her heels into the man's shoes. He doubled over in pain as the sharp heels dug into his foot. Aria smirked in victory and opened the door of the back seat getting in.

"I'll show you how much of a bitch I am." She spat and slammed closed the door. The grumbled and got intot he driver's seat. "Am I driver or what?"

"Chop chop mister. I don't much time. I guess my father wants me safe." The man cursed regretting the decision to take up this job. He ignited the engine and the car sped from there.
