"Stay!"

He demanded and she looked on confused.

"Excuse me?"

Her wirst was pulled from his hand with a harsh tug. She winced and looked at Kunal who was glaring at Rudransh while the other man smirked.

"Don't you fucking touch her again!"

Rudransh turned and gave a brief look to his secretary who looked pissed and turned to look back at Kunal again. He looked at Pihu and licked his lips before going back to business mode and spoke in a no-nonsense tone.

"The meeting happens if she stays. Or there is no meeting."

"That's absurb! What will I do in a meeting I have no clue about."

Pihu countered and Kunal backed her up.

"Exactly! She has no role in the meeting."

Rudransh smirked and took a step closer to Pihu.

"You'll know her role soon enough."

He said looking into her eyes and she felt shivers down her spine.

"What game are you trying to play Singhania?"

Kunal gritted out and Rudransh glared at him.

"I don't play games Shekhawat. Your choice is clear. Either she joins or I leave."

Kunal knew the deal was very important for the company. They were on the verge of bankcruptcy and he didn't want to lose his only chance. The only problem was the man before him. Rudransh Singhania. He hated the man with all his guts and vice versa. Business rivals. But also Rudransh was what people called 'The Villian' because of his cruel tactics in business world.

Kunal cursed loudly and marched towards the meeting room clutching Pihu's hand and dragging her with him.

"Kunal? What is happening? Mai kya krungi uss meeting? I don't even know what it it about."

She said between huge breaths because of the running. He was literally dragging her across the hall.

"For fuck sake. I don't know Pihu. For once. Sirf ek baar kuch der ke liye please chup ho jaao and cooperate. This is fucking important for me."

She nodded and squeezed his hand trying to give him courage. She knew he was stressed. Pihu was confused. Why was she being asked to join in a meeting she had to clue about.

Everyone took their places and the meeting started . Pihu was clueless about what was going on. This time she wasn't unaware about the gaze being fixed upon her. The torturous meeting finally got over and Pihu sighed in relief. She was getting really uncomfortable.

The lights were switched on again and there was silence. Everyone including Kunal looked at Rudransh who was looking at Pihu. Kunal saw this and asked enraged.

"Will you speak somethinng?"

Rudransh's angered eyes darted to him making him a little scared which he tried his best not to show.

"Everyone out!"

Rudransh ordered making his employees move out immediately while Kunal's looked at him. He tried controlling his anger and motioned them to leave. Rudransh noticed how he and his secretary shared a little eye contact. Pihu too started leaving when she heard his voice.

"You stay Rose."

She looked at Kunal and stood beside him.

"I give you two options Shekhawat. Either her or the deal."

Pihu looked at him shocked. Something was wrong with this man.

"What is wrong with you? Jabse aaye ho ajeeb si baatein kre jaa rhe ho. You really think Kunal would choose a stupid deal over me. Never! He loves me."

She yelled looking at Rudransh who smirked looking at Kunal.

"Let's see what the lover boy has to say then. What do you say Shekhawat? Her or the deal?"

Kunal looked at Rudransh with his jaw clenched so tight Pihu was afraid it might break.

"What game are you playing Singhania?"

He gritted out and Rudransh smirked.

"I don't play games Shekhawat. That is what kids like you to do. My options are very clear. I knew the moment the meeting was fixed that my answer was going to be a no. But now you have an option thank to Rose. So, now you choose. Either I have her and you have the deal. Or I leave right now."

Pihu smirked knowing what Kunal's answer was going to be. He, in no scenario would choose a stupid deal over her. But her smile vanished seeing the expression on Kunal's face.

He turned to her and held her hands looking at her helplessly.

"Pihu! Baby! This deal is really important for me-"

Before he could say any further Pihu pulled her hands out of his and took a step back in shock. They heard a snicker and Kunal continued trying to defend himself.

"The company will go bankcrupt if I don't get this deal. Please Pihu! Understand baby."

Pihu clenched her fists trying to control her anger and not bang his head on the table.

"Seems like the lover boy has chosen."

Kunal glared at Rudransh and then looked at Pihu who looked in a shock.

"Baby! I am not leaving you. Just for some time. I'll re-establish my company and bring you back. We'll be together then-"

He was cute off by a mocking laugh. Not from Rudransh but from Pihu.

"You really think I'd come back to you after this you fucking asshole!"

Kunal was stunned. She had never talked to him like that. She had always been understanding.

"You chose a fucking deal over me and you think I'll still be with you knowing my real value in your life. Tum kya mujhe chhodoge. I am breaking up with you. Do not ever show me your fucking face again. And jis company ke liye tumne ye sab kia na just wait and watch how I bring that company down."

She marched off throwing a fierce glare his way. For a minute he was frozen. Then he took a step ahead to follow her only to be stopped by a hand.

"Didn't you hear her? I don't want to see you anywhere near my Rose now. Get that?"

Kunal gulped seeing the look on his face. He wasn't unaware why people called him 'The Villian'. He knew better than to cross him.

Rudransh strolled out of the meeting room behind his Rose with a victorious smirk on his face. He entered the private elevator and reached the ground floor. She still wasn't there yet. Must have used the employee lift. He waited for her.

Pihu came her bowing her head trying to hide her tears when she bumped into him. He held her hand and started walking out.

"Leave my hand!"

She gritted and he smirked.

"What about a no Rose? You're mine now. Your lover boy just chose a deal over you."

"I am not a fucking object to be traded. And I am no one's. Do you get that?"

She whisper-yelled pulling her hand out of his grip.

He turned around and pulled her into his chest making her gasp at the proximity.

"Let's not create a scene here Rose. You want to bring the lover boy down? I'll do that for you."

"Why? Why will you do that for me?"

She asked in a whisper trying not to let it show how he affected her. He smirked obviously catching on and whispered close to her face looking straight into her eyes.

"Because you Rose, are mine. And I'd do anything to make you happy."

Pihu didn't know what to say so she just followed him silently. Who was this man? What was this man? He opened the passenger door of his Bentley Continental and helped her sit in. He took the driving wheel and started the car.

Pihu was continuously shifting in her seat trying to pull the dress down to cover her thighs. He noticed her movement through his side vision and asked.

"Agar comfortable nhi tha toh why did you wear this?"

She didn't say anything and he raised his eyebrow.

"Let me guess. That lover boy of yours loved seeing you in these right?"

She looked out and he chuckled mockingly.

"What exactly did you see in him?"

She had no reply. He was just caring and loving in the beginning and she didn't see anything else.

They reached his place and she looked around stunned.

"You live here?"

He didn't answer but escorted her inside.

"How many people live here?"

She asked again and he still didn't reply.

"I am asking something."

He turned to her and said.

"Apart from me and you now, there are the house-helps , my security and some of my employees."

"Your employees live with you?"

"I work at nights Rose. They are required here."

She nodded and then recalled what he said.

"And by the way I am not living here. I have a family back home and I am leaving in some time."

"That's for me to decide Rose. And I have decided."

She chuckled not believing him and he showed her around introducing her to everyone. He after showing all the parts of the mansion which took them two hours bought her to his room.

"And this would be our room."

She turned to look at him.

"You mean your room. Coz I am not staying here let alone in a room with you. Snap out of your dreams. Your house is really pretty. But its getting late and I need to leave. Chachi must be waiting for me."

She said and started leaving only to be pulled back. Her back bumped against his chest and she oomphed due to the sudden impact. She felt a cold metal against her cheek and her eyes widened seeing a knife.
