Love or Revenge

Chapter 32

In these past few weeks, a part of her mind and heart was thinking about Aditya and how distant he has become with her. But, she kept the rest of her mind in focusing on her life's purpose, she has been playing Srivastav's game and she put herself out with him. She almost trapped him in her plan and he is ready to do anything for her now.

With Grace as alibi, she has been going with Srivastav to lunch and dinner date. He has been trying hard and fast indirectly to get her in his bed for so long but she has been dodging him with her wits. And as Aditya was coming back home from office after midnight and avoiding Zoya all these weeks, made simple for her to concentrate on her plan. And obviously, she stayed focused in her plan to avoid thinking about Aditya.

She texted Grace, "The day has finally come for the next part of our plan". Grace replied, "But, Zoya it's too soon than we actually planned. I don't think, this is good idea to execute now". "No... He is getting tempted to get me into his bed hard and fast... I can't miss this chance to make my next move... So, I'm going in tonight..." Zoya replied.

"Okay... Let me know, if you need anything else from me", Grace replied. "Hmmm... I'll let you know, if I need anything", Zoya replied and closed her chat.

Then she opened Aditya's chat head and typed, "Hi, Sorry to bother you... I'm going to see Grace today and she has been asking me to spend a night with her. So, I'm thinking to stay back with her" and hit send.

After few seconds she received, "Ok". It felt hard but she pushed thought behind and then changed her dress. She was wearing a red designer saree with matching blouse. She called Srivastav and he immediately answered and said. "Hey baby... At last you called me... So..." he stretched out. Zoya stayed silent for about a minute and said, "Sri... I think I can't..." she paused and corrected, "I called you to tell you that I'm free tonight and I thought about that party you asked me..."

She sighed and waited for his reply, "Baby... Even I can't wait... I'll pick you up around 7.00 pm for the party" he said. "Hmmm... I don't want anyone to see us together... So, I'll wait at the bus stop near Malad West", she said. "Your command is my wish, baby", he said and disconnected the call.

"My foot..." she said after throwing the phone on the bed. She calms herself down thinking that she has to stay focus. One mistake could fail her whole plan and she might end up in Srivastav's hand very badly. She picked up her phone and purse before leaving to her apartment to meet Grace.

Around 7.00 pm, Srivastav picked Zoya up in his Limousine. Zoya sat across him and he looked at her with lustful eyes. He asked, "Would you like you have anything?" gesturing towards the bar. "I'll have champagne", Zoya said while crossing her legs. He poured champagne in two glasses and handed one over to her.

Zoya gulped down her drink and kept the glass on the bar table. "Wow... I think you are thirsty... Do you want one more?" He asked. "No... I just need a drink... Anyway we're going to a party, right?" She said and checked her phone.

"Well... Baby, you're right!" He said and sat back and enjoyed his drink. The car stopped at the parking lot near the elevator and Srivastav said, "Party is here". He got down and offers a hand. Zoya took his hand delicately and he smiled at her.

They took the elevator in silence and when they reached the top floor. Elevator door opens to a single heavy décor doors. He said, "Welcome to my house, baby" and he lead to the house and opened the door.

When they got inside, the place was empty and it was clear there was no party happening. Zoya turned to look at him and asked, "Sri... You invited me for a party and I don't see any party here... What's happening here?"
