He shrugged, "I skipped that page." "Why?" I breathed out as he took another step closer, standing so close that I could see his eyelashes under the dim light. "I need you to answer this." he replied, looking into my eyes. I felt my breath hitch, as I felt his eyes leave mine and travel below, stopping at my lips.

But what he spoke next shook me completely. "You know, It was very difficult in the start to convince her. Ananya had a line of billionaires waiting for her. And I was at the end. But I guess the highest bidder always wins. You pay her more and she is yours." I stared at him in disbelief. It was quite embarrassing for me and it certainly did make others uncomfortable too. I decided to excuse myself, but he held onto my hand. "Oh am sorry. I was just kidding sweetheart. Sit my love. Sit with me." His shaky voice spoke those words but I knew he didn't mean them. Or did he? --------------------------------------------------------------- This story is about Ananya, a girl from India trying to build a new life in US.
