My Heartless Knight

Prologue

Saturday 8 sep 2018, 4pm
Taj Lake Palace
Udaipur

Amidst the white marble palace adorned with colourful flowers, stands a beauty clad in an equally white lehenga with pink and peach hues, posing infront of the camera. Her body is devoid of any piece of  jewellery and her face is having minimal makeup, still she is glowing like a fresh drop of dew under the sunlight.

"Yes! Hold that pose"

"Chin slightly up, up"

"Perfect"

"I think it's enough for today. We will shoot tomorrow for the remaining dresses. Let's pack up for now"
Stated the fotographer after taking few more pictures, making everyone to sigh in relief.
The shoot is being conducted for the new bridal collection of AR and everyone is working extra hard since morning as the launch date is getting closer.

"You were awesome Katty" the fotographer praised the model.
"Thanx Vikram" came the sweet reply.
"So have any plans for the evening? Udaipur is a beautiful city." he asked with some hopes.
"No. I'll be in my room only"
"Would you like to go out with me? Let's explore the city together"
"Sorry. I am really tired to go anywhere. You enjoy yourself. Bye" with that short reply she made her way towards her room.

"Hey! Vikram, did you just asked Katty for a date?" Shaan, the hairstylist, asked Vikram with a look of disbelieve.
"Have I done anything wrong" Vikram asked in a confusion.
"Dude, she is ASR's girl and no one dares to even look at her in that way" Shaan warned him.
"I have never heard anything about it" Vikram spat, not believing the news.
"Yeah! They haven't made it official but everyone knows it. The way ASR treats her and is possessive for her, anyone can see that" Shaan explained with 'I know everthing' expressions.
"Oh! Well, thanks man for telling. I would take care from now on. I don't want to lose my job"
With that both men finished their talks and went their separate ways.

Room 211, Taj Lake Palace
5pm

A soft music is being played in the room, providing a soothing effect to the person who is lying in a jacuzzi, having a relaxing bath. It's been an hour Katty has returned to her room after a hectic day of changing a dress after another and posing infront of the camera.
After a long hot bath that calmed all her aching nerves, she came out of the bathroom to find a man in her room.
The man is lounging on a recliner in a carefree manner. The jacket of his off-white summer suit is lying on a chair beside him, the sleeves of his white shirt is rolled up to elbows and his perfectly gelled hair are a bit dipersed after a long day work.
"Hi! You here?" Katty mused coming towards him, making him aware of her presence.
He shift his attention from his mobile toward her.
"Yeah! I am hear. Not happy to see me?" he replied with a soft smile which is reserved only for few lucky ones.
"When did I say that?"
Katty smiled back and made her way towards him, still wearing her pink bathrobe. She takes his forwarded hand in her's and sat beside his half laying form on the recliner. Placing her hands on his chest, leaning on bit, she gave him a sweet peck on lips.
"How was your shoot?" he asked while playing with her still wet hair.
In the meanwhile she placed her head on his chest and heaved the reply.
"It was tiring. And yeah, boring too. Had to do the same thing again and again, just stand and.....pose" she complained like a child, causing him to chuckle. That got her more irritated, making her pinch his arm.
"Hey! It hurts girl"
"Serves you good"
After minute of pause she says
"How the preparations for the launch are going"
"Good. Everything is going as planned"
"It has to be. After all the GREAT ASR himself is supervising everything. How can anyone dares to make any mistake if they want their jobs intact. This is the terror you have created" she said with a cheeky smile to tease him for the fear that everyone feels around him.
His one glare was enough to shut her up.
"Looks like my "terror" is not working on you now, Miss Khushi Gupta" his remark made her broke into giggles.
"No, it doesn't. And you know why? Because now I know that beneath his mask of ruthlessness and anger lies a soft and caring heart." she said with a soft smile on her lips and a dreamy look in her eyes.
In his response to her heart warming speech Arnav Singh Raizada smilingly shakes his head and takes her lips in a sweet yet passionate kiss.
