FLAMES OF VENGEANCE *** On Hold

CHAPTER 14

WHAT TO DO NOW?

“ Do you guys need to get freshen up? Payal will send you to the room. I think your luggage has already been sent there.” Riya said breaking the silence.

I nodded. I  need a bath.  But Ishu and Mahi don’t want to leave Riya alone. So I convinced them that I would go with Payal.

The entire hotel is booked for their marriage. But only a few people are attending it. Riya said only their family is attending and I think we are the only outsiders.  I was about to enter the elevator along with Payal but someone stopped us.

“ Payal, madam is calling for you. She is in her room”. A lady wearing the same dress as Payal told her. She looked at me.
“ Didi  I need to go”. Her face becomes gloomy.

“ Don’t worry Payal. I will go myself. What is the room number?” I asked her with a smile.

“ Didi 25th floor room number 2434”.  I nodded and entered the elevator.

The elevator rings indicating my floor.  There is no one in the hall. Silence welcomed me. Only the sounds of heels can be heard.  I started to look for my room. Finally, I spotted it at the end of the corridor.

Before I could open it I found that it was not locked. Maybe they forget to lock after shifting our luggage. Irresponsible people. I dropped my handbag on the sofa and removed my jacket. I am wearing a sleeveless top and jeans. I looked around the room it is very large and screams luxurious.
So they arranged such a luxurious room. Interesting. I lazily lyed on the bed. I need some sleep.  My eyes started to drift into the sleep. But it was immediately opened hearing sounds from the shower.

Somebody is here.

Who is it?

I immediately stand up and become alert. I think it's a thief.  But how did he enter such a hotel even after ‘HIS’ tight security?  I think Riya was just blabbering about him. His team is good for nothing. A thief easily enters into my room.

Oh god, what will I do now? I looked around to find something for defence. The only thing that I can hold in my hand is a flower verse on the nightstand. I threw the flower somewhere else and slowly walked towards the washroom.

I placed my ear on the door and keenly listened for any sound. The sound of water stops. I was so concentrated on finding any sound and the sudden opening of the washroom door caught me. I was leaning on the door and when the thief opened it I  fell and the verse in my hand broke down. 

Oh god, my butt is paining. I rubbed my hand which hit on the verse. I found a few scratches on my hand and its bleeding.

Oh god, I forget about the thief. I immediately looked upward and found the thief looking at me with his furious eyes……..Oh my God…..he is only in a towel…….my eyes widened………

‘aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh'.

I screamed looking at the thief.

“ What the hell….who are you ?” anger is evident in his tone.

GOUTHAM KAPOOR

“ sir"

Goutham’s PA called him. He simply nodded without taking his eyes off his phone. He is sitting inside his luxurious car which is in his favorite color. Black.

“Sir everything is ready for the marriage. Your family has checked in to roo and sir……..your mom wants to have a sangeet and haldi function”
Goutham averted his eyes from his laptop and looked sharply at his PA.

“ I already told you there will be no such functions.”
His PA gulped by nodding. No one wants to become the wrath of his anger.  The sound from his phone diverted Goutham’s attention towards his phone. It was a message from his best friend Vivaan.
‘ Congratulations brother on your marriage. Don’t forget condoms. See you after your honeymoon. Reading the message his grip on the phone increases. His best friend knows the situation very well. His reason is to get married to the heiress of Khan Industrials.  Vivaan wanted to test his patience.  Goutham sighed and put the phone in his pocket.

Goutham Kapoor is a lawyer who has never lost a case and is a shareholder in Kapoor Enterprises. He is a cruel, cunning, and manipulative man who never forgives his opponents.

The car stopped in front of the hotel where his marriage was happening. Goutham left the car and moved towards the hall where his two big brothers were waiting for him.  He walked with his head high showing his dominating power.  He saw his older brother Abhimanyu Kapoor giving instructions to the chief of their security officer. This marriage is very important for his family as well as business. According to his grandfather bequeath his grandsons have to start their own family before turning 28 years old. His two older brothers got married and successfully inherited their property. Now it's his turn. He will be 28 In 6 months.

“ Is everything alright bhai?"  He asked and his brother nodded in response.

“ Mom and your bhabhi are not happy with your decision of not having pre-wedding F function is brother complained. 

“ You know bhai. I am marrying her for inheritance and business partnership.  It's just a contract. About the functions, I will handle Neena Bhabhi. Everything about the marriage was according to her plans from my dress to decorations.  But you have to handle mom.” He said with a smirk.

“ What……I can't. Even our Dad can't handle her". It made Goutham chuckle.  Abhimanyu  Kapoor his older brother is arrogant and cruel just like him. But he is always soft towards his family especially his mom and wife, the apple of his eye.

“Are you ok with this marriage?” Abhimanyu asked with concern.
“ Look Goutham I and your bhabhi got married because we love each other. Buy it is not the case with you. You know nothing about the girl you are going to marry. I bet you already forgot her name right ?”.

“ Bhai I don’t believe in love and all things. I am doing this for business.  That property can surely increase  our business and after one year I will divorce her

Abhimanyu wanted his brother to get married to someone who loved him and cared for him. But he is now going to marry someone he barely knows.  He sighed about his brother's behaviour and went back to his room. He was not pleased to learn that Mr. Khan intended to marry his daughter to Goutham. The fact that Goutham was okay with it shocked him the most.  He does not want his younger brother to enter a loveless marriage.

Goutham stepped into the lift and depressed the 25th-floor button. He needed a restful night's sleep because he was extremely exhausted. The stroll up to the room is quite serene.  After opening the door, he threw his coat aside and headed to the restroom.

He looked at himself in the mirror and took a deep breath. 'Everything happens for a reason. I will marry her and divorce after one year. I will pay Mr Khan the amount he requested. Mr. Khan is a serpent. He sinks to low levels for money. He offered his daughter to me to make that deal with us. Such a money-minded person. I know his daughter is unhappy with the marriage, and so am I. But I have no choice. I will give her whatever she wants after that.

After taking off his clothes, he entered the shower. The chilly water seeped through his tough exterior. All of a sudden, he heard something outside and stopped taking a shower. After turning off the shower, he wrapped a towel around his waist. He moved in the direction of the door.

He heard a loud fall sound as soon as he opened the door. Goutham looked down and saw a lady lying on the floor. She stopped rubbing her hand for a moment and looked at him. A delightful scent of jasmine hits his nostrils. His brown eyes locked with her wide black one. Her stare is boring into his soul. Her long black hair is all over her face, and she is attempting to put it in place.

The presence of a stranger in his room, particularly in front of his washroom, alarmed him. He was about to lash out at her, but her sudden scream stopped him. He is very angry seeing a girl in his room. He is aware of the type of girls who are always willing to throw themselves at them. The fact t hat his security system failed to kick her out before she entered his room irritated him the most.

' What the hell…….Who are you ?”. His voice is filled with rage toward her.
