chapter 23

I could not move my legs. It was like my legs had frozen. Arjun threw my card which told about my identity on the floor. He stood up and started to read a file. The file was about me. Everything about me was in the file, from the schools I attended to the places I visited, and about my friends. He threw a few photos from the file at my face. The photos fell down. When I looked at them, I saw that they were of me in different places.

"...I can explain everything, Arjun."

He laughed with a mocking smile. "What will you explain? GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, YOU BLOODY TRAITOR. I FUCKING HATE YOU. EVEN A SLUT IS BETTER THAN YOU!" I stopped for a second as my eyes welled up with tears. I gulped and mumbled,

"Don't be ridiculous."

"Don't be ridiculous? Am I ridiculous?!"

"Arjun, please let me explain everything. Just listen to me. My dad told me to marry you because of that share issue, but I didn’t want you, so I was angry and wanted revenge. But as I got to know you, I ended up falling for you instead. My initial intentions were wrong, but my feelings for you became genuine. Arjun, please believe me." I pleaded with him, but his next sentence shook me.

Arjun mocked, raising his eyebrow. He approached me and smirked, "You didn't seem like you didn't want me when you screamed my name under me." I slapped him. He lost his temper. He grabbed my wrist too tightly. "Don't you dare slap me again or you'll regret it."

He pushed me back hard. I fell onto the couch. I held my wrist. It was hurting. My eyes filled with tears. But I would not cry in front of him, so I continued, "When I met you, you had something that attracted me. It felt weird. It was like I had known you for years. Later I realized that it was you; you were not the man people said you were. When I got to know you better, I fell in love with you. On out anniversary, I was going to tell you who I was. I was going to tell you everything. But you had been sad since the morning. So, I couldn't tell you."

"Do you think I'll believe your lies? I look like an idiot from there. I trusted you. I trusted you despite my past. But I shouldn't have trusted anyone. You were fooling me. Were you laughing behind my back with Pooja? TELL ME!"

"Arjun..." he interrupted me.

"Shut up! I do not want to hear you. Did you plan that man in that club too? Did you plan it to get in my bed? I have to confess; provoking me that way was wise."

"What are you talking about? How could you think of me like that? Do you not know me?"

"It seems I don't know you, Diamond Viper!" I stood frozen while he took that name. It was my name in the underworld which had traumatized me to hell now.

"Last night it was revenge because I lied to you, right? Because of that, you hurt me? Is it..." he interrupted me again.

"Just to remind you of me every time I'm not there." He ran his finger on my cheek and murmured, "When you walk, when you look in the mirror, you will remember our passionate nights."

He kissed my neck where he left a hickey last night. I felt my world crush into millions of pieces. I pulled back and said, "Don't touch me. You really are a bad person. I was wrong to think that you are a good person."

He sat on the couch, laughing with a mocking smile. "Am I a bad person? I fell in love with you like I have never fallen in love with any woman in my life. I have never loved a woman so much in my life...not even Payal... But you paid me the price of my idiocy very well. But you will not get rid of me so easily. Now go! Put on your clothes and get out of my house! I do not want to see you, EVER. Meera." He said, emphasizing my name, Meera.

He gave me a look of pure hate. It was like it wasn't even him who was looking at me, at least not the person I loved. There was no point in talking. I went inside. My legs were trembling. I felt so bad. I walked into the bedroom and closed the door behind me. I couldn't hold my tears back anymore. I sat down on my knees in front of the door, crying.

A few minutes later, I got up and picked up my clothes from the floor. I put my clothes on. I went to the bathroom to wash my face. I realized that I looked awful as I faced the mirror. Suddenly, I felt sick and rushed to the toilet. I vomited and washed my face. When I looked at myself in the mirror again, my face was pale.

I went downstairs and took my bag without looking at Arjun. I left the house while Ma, Avi, and Rajmata tried to ask me what happened, but they stopped as they looked at my state.

Arjun's P.O.V.

Her face was pale when she came back down. I was worried...but I couldn't ask her anything. I just watched her leave. My eyes refused to watch her go, so my tears came to blur my vision.

I grabbed my phone and called Bhairav, "Book me a flight to London today." I hung up my phone.

Bhairav said, “But sir, tomorrow is your anniversary—” he was cut off by Arjun, “Do what I say. I have a lot of leftover work to complete there.”

“Sir, if you say so, it will make my job easier,” Bhairav said, sensing something wrong in his tone.

“I need to complete the work I left 7 years ago,” Arjun spoke in his old tone. Bhairav’s eyes widened in shock.

“Yes, sir. Your jet will be ready in 3 hours.”
