Selfish For You

44

Yuvraj stormed out of the building, his mind set on one thing and that's getting back to Kritika. But as soon as he stepped outside, he was greeted by a sight that made his heart sink, a violent storm was raging. The sky was dark, rain lashed down in sheets, and the wind howled fiercely, making it almost impossible to see more than a few feet ahead.

The storm was far worse than he had expected. His clothes were instantly soaked, but he didn’t care. He needed to get to the airport. He needed to get home.

Just as he was about to push forward, his father’s secretary rushed up to him, holding an umbrella that was doing little to combat the wind "Sir, you can’t leave right now" he shouted over the roaring storm.

"Get out of my way" Yuvraj growled, his anger evident

" Boss has frozen all your cards. You won’t be able to book any flights even if you go to airport " he shouted looking at his back and yuvraj's steps helted, he turned around looking at him in disbelief

" What " his eyes narrowed and jaw clenched, his father's secretary sighed seeing he's not leaving anymore

"It’s not safe, sir" he insisted, stepping in front of him "The storm is too dangerous. No flights are taking off, and it’s not safe to even drive in this weather. Please, come back inside"

" What did you said earlier?" Yuvraj greeted his teeths totally ignoring his concern

" I'll tell, I'll tell you everything but please come inside, it's not good for you to stand in rain for long" he said

Yuvraj’s frustration boiled over. He wanted to yell, to scream, to force his way through, but deep down, he knew he was right. He glanced up at the sky, the thunder rumbling ominously, and realized he was trapped....at least for now.

He clenched his fists, his entire body tensing with frustration "How long?" he demanded.

The secretary hesitated, but he knew he couldn’t sugarcoat the situation "At least until tomorrow, sir. The storm is expected to last through the night"

Yuvraj’s jaw tightened. A day. He was going to lose an entire day while Kritika was stuck in whatever hell her family was putting her through. The thought made his stomach twist with helpless rage.

" Wow and there's no surety , i can't do anything till tomorrow...great just great" Yuvraj turned and stormed back into the building, his mind racing. He slammed the door of his office shut, pacing like a caged animal. He had never felt this powerless before, and the feeling was unbearable.

He looked out the window, watching the storm batter the city, knowing he had to wait...but not for long

He remembered his father's secretary words and he take out his phone to see if he can order anything but his card...declined , he look at the notification blankly before calling his father's secretary inside

He stepped inside carefully but his feets froze looking at yuvraj's blank and dark face, he gulped , yuvraj threw his phone at him without any warning and he caught it in reflex , his eyes widened and breaths quicken

" Why can't I use my cards?" Yuvraj asked coldly pointing at his phone, secretary look down at phone screen gulping down the lump forming in his throat because of fear

" Answer me damn it , what the hell is going on?" He yelled clinching his bloody fist , secretary look down at his hand before looking at his face

"Sir… I-I’m sorry, but your father...he’s frozen all your cards. So you won’t be able to book any flights"

Yuvraj’s eyes narrowed, his chest tightening with rage "What?"

The secretary’s voice trembled as he continued "Your father instructed us not to let you leave. He said it’s for your own good, that you need to focus on the business. He knew you’d try to go back to India" yuvraj raised his eyebrows feeling his mind number
