His Twisted Desire (On Hold)

Chapter 2

THE MARRIAGE PROPOSAL.

RECAP:

Riya was shocked to see Jai in the palace. As she tried to hide from him, she tumbled on someone and fell on the bed.

°°°°°°

Riya was still in shock at the sudden collision. Her heartbeat was hammering in her chest as she starred at the cat green eyes of the man. She can feel his heart beat, slow and steady, unlike hers. When realisation of their position hit her mind, Riya's eyes widened. With a jolt, she got up.

"Who are you?!" She asked. "Who am I?"asked the young man. The stranger got up from his bed, removing the towel from his shoulder, his wet hair glittering at the sunlight from the balcony along with his white,loose kurta. "Lady, you are in my room. I should be asking you this question."said the man as he took a step towards her.

Raising an eyebrow, he asked "So... answer. Who are you?" He took a step. "I got lost in the way." She took a step back. "That doesn't answer my question." He took a step. "No...but its all you need to know. " She took a step back. " So...you come barging into my room. You don't tell me who you are. Yet you tell what I should and shouldn't know about?" A step closer.

Riya took a step back and her back hit the wall near the door. She turned right but he blocked her and turned left, he kept his hand there, caging her. Her black orbs showcased fear as she looked into those green eyes of the man standing before her. His eyes darkened , his lips formed a smirk as he leaned in and said "You are now completely caged, birdie. Now, answer me. Who are you? And what were doing in my room?"

"I.." Riya slowly opened her mouth to answer but was interrupted by the sound of the shouting in the hall way. "Riya beti, are you there?!" Shouted the grandma. The man was suprised upon hearing the older woman shouting and he got distracted for a second. Riya grasped the chance and escaped from his cage and started to run out of the room. When she reached the hall way, she was panting like crazy runner.

The older woman got worried and asked her," Riya, beti! What happened? Are you okay?!" Riya dismissed her concern by a wave of her hand. "It's nothing dadiji, just got lost. Since, you are alright, I should take my leave. Thank you! Bye!" Said Riya as she started to run out of the house before he could catch her. "Wait, beti! Let one of servants to give you a ride back!"

"No, need dadi!", "Atleast tell me your full name beti!","It's khatijith! Riya khatijith!" And with that, Riya hurriedly went out of the house.

°°°°°°

Two weeks later.

Riya came home late with her aunt, uncle and cousins. It was her cousin sister's wedding. They were all chatting and laughing like always and Riya tried to join in their fun but failed like always. But she ignored their ignorance and started to head towards her room. It was nothing new for her. She was always treated like she was not enough by her family. Even though she was well educated, well mannered, they always considered her as she was lower than them.

Why? Because her mother was from a normal family and her father was from a rich family .Even her grandparents didn't show her a lot of affection. Her mother died when she was ten. Her father was always away on Business trip. So, she had no choice but to spend her life on this shitty household. Even though she was rich, her life lacked warmth.
