Billionaire's lost love

Chapter 5

Mumbai India

Present time

Aditya's pov

I was sitting in the conference room with Mr. Kemumaki and Mr. Kemuzo my Japanese clients to fix the deal with them. When suddenly the door of the hall flew open and entered a girl, dressed up in one of her slutty dresses again.

"Lara, as you can see we are in-between a important business meeting. I will talk to you as soon as this ends. " I looked at her and tried to sound as normal as possible when my conscience was shouting, 'get lost you b***h! '

"No I need to talk to you now! " she said stubbornly and glared at my clients. Sending them a silent message.

"Lara-" I stood up and dragged her out of the room, from the hallway to men's restroom.

"Lara what the hell are you doing here?" I asked boiling in anger. What would be those men thinking about me right now?

"You know Aditya, I went to your home to meet you but your.....mom........She....She said that I have ruined your life.....she really thinks that it was me who broke your and Alisha's relationship. Seriously? Could you believe this? "

And then she wiped away her fake tears from her face. Oh so mom also had the doubts on her? That somehow she had her hand in driving away Alisha from me. Even I had it.

"Lara, I don't want to talk to you! , not now! " not ever. I said gritting my teeth in anger. And then left her without sparing a second glance at her. "Aditya...Adi....please listen to me. " I heard her calling after me, but I am not going to listen anything.

"Mr. Kemumaki, Mr. Kemuzo if you don't mind can we finalize this deal tomorrow? I am really not feeling well. " I told them entering back to the conference hall.

"Of course no problem! "

"Meet you tomorrow then Mr. Singhania"

They said and went out of the room. I sat down back on my chair. And closed my eyes and as usual her face came into my mind.

I still remember the awkward and strange first meeting we had. Almost six years ago in Mumbai, on the inauguration party of a hotel.

Flashback

Six years ago

Mumbai, India

Hotel Himadri

Mom had invited the bose family to the inauguration party of my seven star hotel where I am going to meet her, Alisha Bose and her family. I had already decided that I will meet her, talk to her sweetly only to show off to mom that I tried and then after the party gets over I will tell her that she is not like me and we can't live together forget getting married. And as simple as that. Well everything was going as expected, I met her and I have to admit that she is beautiful, more than anyone I had ever laid my eyes on. This wasn't only her glowing flawless skin or her beautiful long jet black hair but it was her innocence on her face which made her more beautiful than anyone else here.

I talked to her and she seemed to be a nice girl but still I can't marry her, not anyone.

We talked about random things and she laughed at my little jokes, she was so carefree.

Suddenly I saw a known face, Lara!

What the hell she was doing here?

She was one of my ex-girlfriend and then six months ago we broke up, precisely I broke up with her. But still She was not over me I guess, wandering around me. And the most important thing is my mom don't like her a bit and after my father's death 2 years ago I don't want her to get upset on me, I love her so much and partially this was the reason I agreed to meet Alisha.

And now if she saw Lara she would be mad at me. I excused myself from Alisha and went to her at the bar,

"Lara what are you doing here? "

I asked.

"Well surprise!!!!" She said in her high pitched voice and smiled.

"Well....how did you got in? Slept with the watchmen?" I played my card and watched her face getting red with anger. "Get a hold on your tongue....you asshole. "

She fired back "by the way whose that little girl with you, Mr. Singhania? " she asked again with a amused grin on her face and I decided to rub it off.

"She is my soon to be wife, Ms. Qurashi." Tsk...tsk I said that to give her a tight slap without using my hand and it worked. Her grin evaporated and was replaced by a surprised look and then she started to laugh out loud.

Wait why was she laughing?

She put her hand on her mouth to control her laughter.

"Do I look such a fool Adi, that I will believe this? You and getting married? And that too, to the little girl? Got no one better, Mr. Singhania? "

"Lara, just get lost....or I will call the security myself to escort you out of the place and I bet that won't be a pretty seen."

"You can't Mr. Singhania because my father is a share holder of this hotel."

She said gritting her teeth in anger.

And I can't believe Mr. Ali Qurashi is her dad. Wow! Just wow! Just a month ago he had brought this share as well as a few more shares of my different hotels and clubs. It won't be more than twenty nine.

Or twenty five percent but still I have to bear lara now.

Suddenly I was jerked away from my train of thoughts when mom arrived towards us.

"Good evening Ms. Qurashi, I hope you are enjoying the party! Now if you don't mind I want to have a word with my son. " mom glared at Lara and she said, "of course Mrs. Singhania! "

And then Lara left.

"I guess you have promised me something! " oh hell mom was angry at me, She saw me talking to Lara.

"Yes..... mom I remember I had met her. "

"Aditya listen to me, I know you will not agree to marry her anyway.....but still do a favor to me please....take care of her for this evening.....her mom is my childhood friend and if you continue to do this kind of thing you will end up embarrassing me in front of her family, please take care of her for this evening? "Mom pleaded and I felt guilty, she knew me too well.

"Of course, mom and I am sorry about..... Lara. I didn't know that she was here....I just saw her and-"

"Okay, we will talk about it some other time now go. " mom patted my back and I went back to Alisha. Mom was disappointed by me I knew by her look. It was all because of that b***h, Lara.

"Alisha-" I wanted to apologize to her for leaving her suddenly.

But she stood up and left, she didn't even gave me a glance and went away. I watched her as she moved towards the table where her parents along with my mom was sitting oh hell no! I can't let her leave like that, mom will be more upset than what she already is. I can't let that happen.

"Alisha will you dance with me? "

I asked her in front of her kneeling down on the floor. She looked at me shocked. "Please" I said and stretched my hand.

With the side view I saw mom smiling at me. I was being too much dramatic right? Well, anything to make mom happy after she saw me with Lara except of course marrying Alisha. Then I felt a soft warm hand into mine. "Of course"She said and we started to dance I can't believe this but I was feeling that I was in the air, I felt so light with her in my arms.

She was so beautiful, during the dance I saw her more closely, her pink rosy lips.....I was drawn into them. Her fruity smell was making me turned on. She looked so delicate and fragile in my arms.

Suddenly I had a strong urge to kiss the life out of those pink plump lips. My heart now started to run in marathon. Beating so fast as it would come out any time now! The strong desire within me to kiss her was increasing each second. I pulled her and her fruity smell flared my nostrils. She smelt so sweet, so alluring and her lips were so inviting. I gritted my teeth and told myself to control.

And thanks to the God, the song ended soon.

***

I got a call from the Manhattan company of New York, a shipping magnet with whom we were currently in a contract. I was going out to take the call by excusing myself.

"Hello, Mr. Manhattan.....yeah of course......of course......not yet....it would take a little-"

My mind ran mad, right now I wanted to kill that girl who had made my life a mess from a few months. Lara.

I saw my shirt getting soaked with a purple colored drink.

My teeth gritted, I looked at her, she threw a shameless seducing smile at me still holding the glass whose content she poured over me.

"I am so sorry, Adi! " she ran a finger down my wet chest and I felt disgusted.

"Mr. Manhattan I will talk to you later. .." I whispered into the phone and said, "yes, you should be Ms. Qurashi! "

At this moment I knew I was out of my own control, the blood in my veins boiled, but I have to control myself, I don't want to make a seen here, at least not with her.

"Let me help-" she stretched her hand towards me and I again had that disgusting feeling, She had stooped so low to gain my attention. I am not going to waste my time by yanking on her so I simply walked out.

In the men's restroom I took off my coat, I cleaned my shirt but still giving a soaked appearance.

My bow tie was ruined by the nasty drink spilled on me.

I have to do something to get rid of this Lara. But the whole situation is now more screwed up since her dad is now my business partner. Only if I knew earlier!

I sighed and took off my bow tie and kept it in my pocket.

***

My cousin Jai was talking about how his father had been mad on her sister, Naina when he found that she had a boyfriend. He was still mad at her and that is why he is not here and is keeping track on his daughter all the time.

I was nodding at every thing he said but my attention was somewhere else. Alisha.

She was sitting a the table eating her dinner with her parents and a boy, whom I think is none other than her brother. I saw her, she was silent all the time, only nodding at times. I didn't realized that I was staring at her for a long time, when suddenly she looked back at me and I out of embarrassment looked at my cousin Jai.

Suddenly from my peripheral vision I saw her getting up from her chair and coming. Was she really coming to me? Did she saw me staring at her? Oh hell no! I kept my face straight as I doesn't see her coming.

I was expecting her to call my name, but it would be a understatement if I say I was taken aback by her act.

I felt a sharp stinging sensation on my cheek, with a angry red face she was looking at me.

Did she just slap me? before I could even comprehend what was going on, She threw a blue colored piece of s**t at my face and walked away.

I looked down my feet where the little piece of cloth fell, was it a blue bow tie?
