Journey To The OtherWorld

Marry me? Bite you?

Bold + italics represent inner thoughts.

I kept staring at Archit for what seemed an eternity. His words kept echoing in my ears.

"I love you, Anushka"

"Love you, Anushka"

"Love..."

Love. Archit fucking Verma loves me. Here I was, sitting on the top of India's most luxurious condo, with the most desirable man right in front of me, confessing his love for me. How many girls would have given up millions to be in this position! I should be on top of the World right now, shouldn't I? But all I felt was insecurity and regret. My facade was dripping with unvoiced depression and Archit noticed it, as he wore a repented expression. Regret for our current positions, repent for how we could never have a future together.

The fucking bitch in the back of my brain, the self-depriciating devil was awakened at those four words.

Psssht! Love, who on Earth will love you?

You are just an ugly duckling, with not even a penny to your account. This rich and handsome man will love you? You think he's impressed. Don't be a fool!

He probably just likes you cause he has been starved of girls for an year. You are just a fantasy, nothing else.

Tears rolled down my cheeks at the harsh words that my inner self hurled at me. Of course, how could he love me? He's loaded, has millions to his name, has been awarded as Mr. India twice. How do I even have the audacity to believe that he likes me?

Archit apparently noticed my sudden out burst as he wiped away the tears from the corner of m eyes. I hastily rubbed my eyes and my runny nose, not meeting his eyes. The blankets underneath me were crumbled by my fists. Archit gazed at me, a fond expression in his eyes.

"I know. I know it's hard to believe this. How could a despicable playboy like me be in love with a girl. I know exactly what is running in your mind. First of all, you are not just a simple village girl. You never were. You are a smart, beautiful, self-willed, adventerous, little lady who has managed to captivate my heart and now I am all yours.

I know I've made innumerable mistakes in the past. Indulging in Tina, being the personal whore of Aaditya. All those were simply a way of fueling my lust. I was a sex-addict and I still am. But I am working on it, working on my addiction so I could be chaste for you. What happened with those demons had no strings attached. But, with you, I feel something different, I don't know what.

So my dear Anushka, smile cause even though you are really pretty, a crying face doesn't suit you, give me a chance, a chance to improve and I promise I'll be the best for you."

I couldn't believe my own damn ears. Archit was willing to change for me. For me! I smiled through my tears, wondering if this was a dream but his next words shattered me.

"We would make a lovely couple. But we aren't short of problems. First of all, I don't know if I would be able to escape this world. My building is demolished. Aadi mentioned a way to let us out though it's unlikely it would work with the both of us. You could be saved as you have only been here weeks but this World has build a connection with me, as I've stayed so long. Even if I return, the World will pull me and succeed. I can disappear at any point of time.

For that, I would like to marry you. My whole company would be yours that is in the case of my death or sudden mishaps, you'd be required to lead the buisiness. I couldn't let my brothers overtake it. No Anushka, don't say you aren't capable enough. You have the potential to be a great leader. You were born to lead not to be led."

I sat awkwardly on the bed. Archit could disappear at any point of time. I would be the owner of an international company. Just two minutes and my entire life has changed. Furthermore Archit believes this is my rightful place. He has asked for my hand, which I would gladly give but leading a company in his abscence? I have to acknowlege the risk Archit is going through. To vanish into thin air at any unrequited moment, would I be able to deal with the loss?

However, I understood Archit won't take no as an answer as in his grip was some contract papers. He looked over at me hesistantly and I realized I had to take the leap. I have to bear the emotional pain on the possibility of losing Archit and the responsibility of running a multi-national company. Just the fact that he believes I deserve the chance boosted up my confidence. To gain something, you need to lose something,

I signed the papers as Archit hovered around me. Then, with a very swift moment, he was on his knees, a velvet box in his hands. He opened it, grinning likehe Cheshire Cat, to reveal a diamond solilatre. I decided to play the part, as I gasped like a school girl, yelling Yes! It seemed like a Wattpad moment, with me screaming my lungs out and he grinning on his knees. And I was indeed in an euphoria state of mind, as he slipped on the ring on my finger and delicately kissed  my knuckles.

"My dearest Indian Princess, Anushka Chawan, the most independent and smart girl I've ever met. Would you care to marry your long-time admirer, Archit Verma?"

I nodded quickly. Was no even an option?

But, I was in for a surprise as he pulled me towrads me and slammed our lips together.

For a moment, I was taken aback. However, I soon drowned myself in the rhythm as I moved my lips in sync with his. I have to admit: my first kiss was better than I ever imagined. Archit tenderly gripped my face as the kiss grew heated and heated. Our tongues started playing together as his hands snaked around my waist. I moaned in his moth as groans of pleasure erupted from his throat.His stubble tickled me pleasantly as I felt something tingle in my stomach.

Oh my God! Was that an...?

Eventually, we broke the kiss, both of us taking laboured breaths. Archit looked deep into my eyes, a lovesick emotions lurking in them, an emotion that screamed- I WANT YOU! We finished off in a light embrace, his head resting  in the crook of my shoulder, as my love for him amplified.

Out of no where, I felt a painful ting on my neck, an overwhelming burning sensations spreading through out my body. I turned my head and the sight almost made me dizzy.

Archit's canine were now fangs, two twisted black horns adorning his head as his teeth broke into the soft skin of my neck. A devilish expression consumed him.

Archit Verma was biting me! And it was hurting like Hell!

A/N: Heh,heh. I'm gonna go take a shower, I feel dirty after writing this.
