Mysterious Oberoi

18

I was scared glancing at the confidence Diya had towards Mr. Oberoi. I was frightened about the consequences! She wasn't the girl to hold that level of trust in strangers. She acted with caution. She took her time and yet she was acting impulsive on the matter of the most dangerous human.

I was trapped! I didn't knew the way out. I didn't only had to bring Riddhi out of the monsters trap but Diya was also walking into his cave. I had to do something but what?

I was staring out at the sky. I had found myself back in the garden. It came after lots of plead from my side followed by Diya's request. Much to my surprise, she had managed to convince Mr. Oberoi. Only with the demand that Ronald was going to be by side.

Ronald had much decency as he allowed me with space. I kept staring at the dark sky, those stars glittering in darkness. I was trying to find hope in those dark sky.

"Would you mind if I accompanying you?" Ronald asked after maybe hours flying by. I could feel the coldness in the air, the sky were turning darker. The people around the garden had disappeared and there was no a sign of human figure.

"You can leave if you want, I will spend some more time." I mumbled not sparing a glance at him.

"Can I grab a seat beside you, if you don't mind?" He persisted.

"I am not in need of your company," I groaned in defend.

"But I want to provide you one," his tone softening. His black orbs were almost pleading with me to listen.

I sighed as I gave a slight nod. We sat there, staring at the dark-wide sky. Not a word exchanged among us just silence yet I felt a hint of peace as if his presence made a change.

As a yawn escaped from me, I gave in. I stood from the bench. He stared at me with his curious gaze. I ignored his presence as I started walking towards the building. He didn't express a word as he started following me, keeping his distance.

He had never invaded my personal space. I was stunned when he asked if he could sit beside me. He usually kept distance between us. I frowned, having an urge to inquire but shoving it off as he would decide not to answer it.

We kept moving in those vacant corridors, people had gone back to their respective rooms. I didn't had phone nor watch to glance at the time. But the atmosphere around me indicated that it was mid-night.

As we were on the verge of getting into the lift, a person moved out of it. A very familiar handsome face but I didn't adore the aura around him. He gave those bad vibes, the same radiated out of Mr. Oberoi. I had a hard time trusting humans in general.

He was a mess would be understatement. I had glanced at him twice and during each period, he was well-mannered and well-dressed. But the person standing before me seemed mess. His heavily branded clothes were out of place. Coat missing from his professional attire. The navy blue shirt had rolled out of his black pant. His lie on the verge of landing on the floor. Those blood-short eyes felt as if he was hungry for someone's blood. The smell of alcohol coming from his body further confirmed he wasn't in a condition to behave.

Those marks under his eyes and lips were indicators of the torture he had undergone. Someone had badly damaged his handsome face. The minute his hazel blue orbs glanced in my direction, he roared like a lion and was on the verge of pouching on me but Ronald acted fast and dragged him away.

Ronald stood before me and him, his big figure in front of me was making it impossible to glance at Dev.

"Behave yourself, don't forget who she is..." I could hear serious warning in his tone.
