HER ONE NIGHT STAND

THE ENGAGEMENT PARTY

CHAPTER 2

Ritwik Singhania was the CEO of Singhania Group of companies. He was thirty two years of age. He was more than 6 feet tall , with a dark complexion and had a magnetic aura around him ,so no one was capable of contradicting him or speaking against him.

He was a millionare many times over not because he was the Ceo Of Singhania group but also because of his personal wealth. He was a software Engineer who had developed an anti hacking software that he had sold to the Indian Government for crores of Rupees.

His good looks and his money were a main attraction for women who fell at his feet but he believed in loving them and leaving them .He knew that he could never genuinely love any one and now since his younger step brother had married so there was no pressure on him to produce a heir.

There was no love lost between him and his stepmother but he did love his younger step brother ,Sagar. Sagar on the other hand idolized his elder brother and loved him in return.

Ritwik was happy for his younger step brother Sagar who had married around two months back. His sister-in-lay Jiya Mehra was a sweet girl. He called her girl because she was just twenty years old. Initially he had been reluctant on the match but gradually he had realized that Jiya was a nice girl who loved his brother dearly and was not after the Singhania wealth.

Before being married to Jiya , Sagar had been a womanizer ,who attracted all sorts of wrong women. Every other month he would visit Ritwik and inform him that he was in love. After a month or so he would say that the relationship broke up because the girl was not suitable. But ever since he met Jiya who had joined as his secretary he had noticed some positive changes in Sagar. Sagar had become more responsible towards his work and he was not dating anyone.

Eventually when he came to know of Jiya and Sagar initially he was furious but later on realized that they truly loved one another.

Jiya's sister Myra however was as different from Jiya as chalk and cheese. She was rude and ambitious. The first time he had met Myra he was stunned. She was gorgeous. She was wearing a black salwar kameez which suited her lovely fair complexion. She was around 5 feet 8 inches tall , quite taller than Jiya. She was dressed quite fashionably. She had very long hair which touched her knees and her body was quite curvaceous not the model slim type. Ritwik was attracted to her instantly but her behavior towards him had been quite cool.

Jiya on the other hand was a warm hearted and soft spoken girl. Myra however caught his attention at the engagement ceremony because she was extremely confidant in dealing with people and everyone was listening to her. Infact she seemed to have made all the arrangements for the ceremony and everything was perfect. She seemed to be speaking happily with every guest, but he was the odd one out. Whenever he asked something she replied but there was no warmth in her voice. Still she was so beautiful that he could not take his eyes off her.

Sagar's elder brother Ritwik was sinfully handsome. Myra had seen his pictures in newspapers and magazines but they did not do him justice. For the first time in her life she was so deeply attracted to someone. He made her feel things she had never thought possible. She was a career minded girl who after her MBA had worked very hard to reach her position. She had never had any serious relationship because her career had been her focus. But Ritwik was a serious temptation. She knew his reputation so it was advisable to stay away from him. That is why whenever he approached her she gave a cold reply and moved on. Moreover she was angry that he was initially opposing Jiya's and Sagar's marriage.

The engagement party was perfect as usual. Whatever Myra did was perfect. She never faltered. She had learned at a very young age that in order to be successful one had to be perfect in whatever they did.

Sagar had introduced the two of them.

"Bhai this is my Sister- In –law Myra. She works in SN Advertising as Vice President marketing and Myra this is my elder brother, my idol Ritwik Singhania, the CEO of Singhania Empire "

"Nice to meet you Myra, you are very beautiful and this must be an asset to you in your line of work."

"Mr Ritwik all women don't use their beauty for their work . I would much prefer that women be known for their brains not their bodies. Excuse me , I have to look at the arrangements."

Myra noticed that Sagar's Stepmother was not too happy with the match. She was a fashionable lady who appeared to be in her early forties and all her gestures indicated that she was flaunting her wealth and creating an impression that Myra,s family were no match for their family . This was true to some extent but Jiya genuinely loved Sagar . She was not after Singhania,s wealth.

"Jiya dear take good care of this ring. It is 10 carat diamond ring and very expensive. I am sure you must not have worn anything this expensive before."

"Mom can you stop. I love Jiya and that is what matters." Sagar had stopped his mom from further humiliating Jiya.

Myra saw the entire incident but was not keen on creating a scene . Ritwik had been standing nearby but he had not stopped his mom . This further infuriated her.

After the rings were exchanged the Dj ordered a couple dance. As luck would have it Myra was supposed to dance with Ritwik.

"Do you dance Myra or am I supposed to teach you.?"

"Ritwik you don't know me well. I dance quite well I assure you. Infact I believe in being perfect in whatever I do?"

As soon as she entered his arms a slow song began and Myra was forced to dance very close to him. Myra was uncomfortable but Ritwik was enjoying immensely. She may be tall but she came to his shoulders. Her body was curvaceous but the curves were at the right places. Ritwik was feeling turned on just holding her in his arms. He could see that she was also affected because her eyes had darkened from the light brown to a darker shade

Their mouth had come close during the dance and Ritwik could not control himself because her full lips had been teasing him from the moment he had seen her. He was an opportunist so he bent his head and kissed her. Myra was so attracted to him that she kissed him back. Myra was stunned she could never behave like this – kissing a stranger in front of so many people. She was lucky that since they were dancing in a corner nobody seemed to have noticed them.

"How dare you?"

"I dare Myra and don't behave as an innocent because you kissed me back."

"I made a mistake but you took me by surprise."

"It might be a mistake but I would love to repeat it.", saying this Ritwik moved to the further end of the room. The truth was that he was on fire. He wanted her right there right then. If she would have been unknown and if it would have been just a party he would have left the party and taken her to bed .

Myra was nervous. She hoped nobody had seen her. One thing she was sure she had to stay away from Ritwik. He was as good as his reputation and she did not want a disturbance in her otherwise normal life. She was attracted to him but she had to keep her hormones in check.
