Trapped by Mr PERFECT. ( Billionaire Edition)

Mess and Press Conference.

At 7 am, I was sleeping peacefully, When Vicky stormed in, standing tall in front of my bed facing me and calling out my name aloud. I was not in the mood to wake up at least not till 9, but somehow I manage to open my eyes a bit. He was holding a business newspaper in front of my face, his eyes were narrow in disbelief. I was still drowsy, unable to get back my sense, ignoring him and rolling in bed to sleep again. And guess what he did, the threw water on me, when I was lying comfortably in my dearest bed.

I awake abruptly out of sleep startled and crabby, ready to punch my sweet friend in the face. I scowled at his queer action. I thought to myself, Maybe I am unfortunate these days, For two consecutive days, someone is throwing water on me. I do not understand what I did with these people, possibly they like display of my wet sexy body.

Keeping my silly thoughts aside. I asked, completely peeved by his stupid behaviour “ What the hell man, Are you nuts.”

“Seriously dude...!!!!... I should have asked this.” Vicky said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

“I am not the one who threw water on your face,” I said giving him my best dirty look.

“ No. Nowadays, you threw money on others face. Right !” he said earnestly.

“ How did you know...???” I was bemused by the fact that he knew what happened yesterday. When my sight stuck on the newspaper in his hand, I grabbed it and saw front page covered with my and that girls photos with the title “Mr perfect turn into Mr Arrogant”. For the first time, some newspaper published something bad about me. Not only bed but they come up with the most disgusting story, that I used that poor girl, and threw her away when she got pregnant, and asked her to abort, throwing money over her face. They call me Arrogant, Rude, egoistic, self-centric person who is blinded by his money and power. How dare they just published such a piece of news without knowing what happened. I was furious, burning like a volcano, ready to explode at any second. I tore the paper away immediately.

“You know all these nonsense will affect our image worldwide and especially in India, I start receiving calls from a few of our big shot clients And they did not sound happy. We need to clean this mess.” He said rubbing his temples.

“ Find out everything detail about that girl and who published this article, they must be punished for running my reputation,” I said in a dead tone, I never knew I could ever act as a cold ruthless businessman.

“ Already working on it. But how did all this happen ????” he asked in a perplexed tone, arching his one eyebrow in a questioning look.

Whatever happened in the restaurant yesterday I told him precisely. “Now I understand why she pretended to cry with her hands on her belly. That birch!!!!” I added in end, now everything makes sense. Whatever I did, I did because of misunderstanding, but that gold digger b***h was ready for every situation, she planned everything thoroughly. Pictures were taken from a good length. Even if I did not throw money on her, Even then I would have been in headlines. That wicked woman.

“How can you act out of stupidity....????, You did not confirm her identity before initiating chat or meeting and even you gave her your information. Tsk tsk tsk...... Very good bro.” he said with an exasperated sigh “ Since when you became that desperate....”. Now I know why is he stretching this topic, and I can’t escape from discussion or I should escape, maybe it’s time to tell him half of the story.

“I know I never did anything stupid so far, but I can’t sit in peace and I also tried, But I was unable to get my mind off her,” I Said groaning and pulling my hair out with both of my hands, I was more than frustrated, If God does not want me to meet her then why does he keep sending me signs.

“ It’s okay man, at least from next time on please try to share things with me, will plan everything together.” He sat next to me, his one hand on my shoulder, consoling me in a brotherly way.

I am truly grateful to have him as my best buddy. He has always been my saviour, In high school, He unveiled the wicked plans of my girlfriend. He always offers me his support, in business and as well as in my life.

“ Okay Brother, And........” I was struggling with words, but somehow I managed to utter a few things “ After the mess at the restaurant, I went to Moli's apartment.” I said smiling nervously towards him.

“Then, According to your unfortunate track record, You might not have even found her there...” He said, Making me realize How much have things become miserable to me. Maybe I am ill-fated in love.

“Hmmm... Yeah, That building is now under construction. I called her former landlord, but He is not ready to speak up about her. He told me that he will ask her to contact me.” I said in one go, realising a long sigh. As if it will lift the heavy burden of my heart.

“And you didn’t tell anything about you, before questioning about her.” He asked with a straight face.

“No......….. I don’t want to scare her.” I said and he responded with “ tsk tsk tsk tsk.... Take rest at least for half-day, first let me handle your mess. Reporter is still surrounding our office, I will get everything fixed till evening.”, for the first time, I am in such situation not knowing about my next move, but thanks to him I don’t have to look into that matter directly. Though I will make sure to let those suffer who crossed my path. What will Moli think about me after reading that shitty article about me?

He headed out for office. I changed my slightly damp clothes into a comfortable one. Sitting in my study going through important files. It was nearly the afternoon when I received my mother’s call. “ Hello, dear” she started with her usual greetings, but this time she doesn’t sound good.

“ Hello, my lovely mother,” I said in a quiet gentle tone.

“What’s going on with you.....??? I and your father just witnessed your act of disgrace. Is it true....????” She asked in an orotund voice, her tone shows clear disappointment.

“ Mom seriously....!!!! You believe in some rubbish news, but not me. Great thanks Mom “ I said in a distressing tone, how can she believes on someone, Whom she does not even know. And I thought that they both knew me well. For the first time, I am stuck in such a kind situation and my parents think I have done wrong. Without waiting for her reply, I hung up. I know it sounds rude and inconsiderate but right now I don’t want to talk to anyone anymore.

After lunch, I was sitting alone diving deep in my thoughts which were everywhere, at work, on her, and current mess. It’s nearly evening, My phone caught my undivided attention. Vicky informed me that everything is sorted out now and asked me to arrive office as soon as possible.

Vicky Malhotra POV

Yesterday Steve looked distressed. And now I understand why, when I went out for a walk, I saw Steve’s pictures with some other girl on the front page of the newspaper and magazines. Without taking time, I grabbed one and start exploring one. I find out her photo throwing water on Steve and Steve throwing money at her face, the most nauseating thing was, What they wrote about him. It makes my blood boil.

If he had ever been involved with anyone, I would have known. All of sudden I received a call from my detective friend Vishwas, “ Hello, Yes Vishwas. Did you find something.....????” I asked still frowning at the newspaper.

“ Hello Man, Yes and no. That number doesn’t belong to her and Yes, she used to live there before, Mr Mishra sold that building yesterday due to his son’s debts. I tried to find the rest about Moli, but was unable to get any information from Mr Mishra.” He said in an apologetic tone.

“Okay, I want you to keep continue your search and yes one more thing. Do you have today’s business newspaper, I want you to look into that girl, Rhea’s background. All her information is given on the front page.” I said in a grim tone, I was wondering what will be Steve's reaction after reading this news. He will go mad with anger, And he will be more irritated with himself.

When I am on my way back from the wall, I received various calls from important clients and office, everyone shocked and a few angry. I invaded in his room, he was sleeping peacefully, And he does not even know that he is covered on every newspaper and channels, In which his glory of being Mr Perfect is blown. I threw water on him and woke him up. I am damn sure, He must be wondering why everybody is throwing water on him.

When he woke up, He was shake up and boiling, heavy frown visible on his face and if looks can punch someone, my teeth would have broken and fallen to the ground. I showed him the newspaper, but still, he didn’t realise why I woke him up. I sarcastically told him that nowadays you throw money on people’s face. And he was jolted back from his sleepy state, finally carefully examining the content of the newspaper. He was ready to bite someone’s head off. For the first time, he was behaving like a ruthless businessman, who was always ready to crush those who try to intervene in their work or life.

I assured him that I will handle till evening. I already knew everything, As Vishwas already told me about Moli's number and address, but I still asked to see his response. I tried to knock some sense in him. I don’t want him in trouble again, it’s his first time when he has gone crazy for someone. I will try my best to search his Mystery Girl. But if she is not found, he will have to take care of himself, without doing anything stupid like this.

He told me everything, I did not even bark at him and consoled him like a brother. He promised me that he will discuss everything from now own, He is much mature than me in other fields but in the area of heart, I am his senior. I’ve dated lots of girls from school. And I don’t want him to be screwed because of anyone.

I asked him to stay at home, and I headed towards the office. As expected all journalists were standing outside the office to get more spicy juicy contents. I was trying to enter in office and after high security one of them entered inside the premises, and asked “ Why Steve Miller is not here...??? Is he ashamed of what he did to that poor girl?”

I was fuming after hearing his every word, but I calmed myself and responded in scornful tone “ You all will get answers in an evening press conference at 6 pm today.” Without giving anyone another glance, I asked everyone to meet me in the conference hall.

The best thing was that all the employees knew, that their boss can’t get involved in such things. And the head of public relation team was already working on this matter, the same time I received a call from Vishwas with a smirk, I answered his call knowing that he had good news for me. “ Hello, Yes Vishwas.”

“Man that piece of s**t Rhea, She always does this to make money. Previously she has done all this with married people. And yes she’s pregnant with her ex-boyfriend, who left her one month ago after finding out her crazy shits. I am sending you everything which will help you in this matter, especially pregnancy test.” He said in an aggressive tone, He was disgusted by her and as well as excited to know what will happen next.

“Thanks, Man!, I’ll talk to you later,” I said enthusiastic tone, As now I have a full-proof plan but first of all I need to take care of those text in her phone.

I asked it department to heck her device and gather more information as well as delete those text messages, Than I called her to invite her in the company, Assuring her that she will get a good sum of money in return of saying that everything which she said before that was all wrong. First, she did her little good girl play but then she got ready to attained press conference.

Everything is going according to plan, I called my brother Steve to announce his good news to him. By the time of the press conference, Everything was perfect, the data of her phone was formatted along with the messages so that it would not be suspicious. Everyone was gathered for a conference and I was ready with the lawsuit (defamation charges) against Rhea and the journalist who wrote rubbish about him.

When Steve entered in press hall, instantly all journalist surrounded him, with the help of bodyguards, he was able to cross the crowd of hungry dogs. Everyone started barking together, “ Sir how can you do such thing with a poor girl like her”, “ How can you be so ruthless”, “So far you were pretending to be Perfect gentleman”, “ what will you do for your sole hire”, “How many affairs are you involved in” etc etc. One question after another.

Steve with a straight face sitting composed in front of reporters, raising his hand to indicate them to stop, and his aura was so intimidating and dominant, the whole hall was filled with deadly silence. And he was in the spotlight leading everyone according to him. He asked Rhea to speak up, She was afraid one can see her pale face from far, but she still manages to utter few words that are “ Yesterday, we had a small fight due to few differences and now everything is fine between us, We are again together as a couple.” Again she shows some of her vicious trick in front of media while trying to get close to Steve.

After hearing this crowd gone wild, while I and Steve gave her a dirty look. Steve asked her In front of journalists with a smirk “ Are you sure, That's all you had to say....????”. She was confused but then said, “Yes, will disclose other things after sometime after sorting out remaining issues.”

We gave her a chance to save her image, but she decided to play with the CEO of the Miller group. With one tape on remote, I start displaying her photos with different men. Her chat messages and her pregnancy report.

She shouted,” It's all fake, Stop it, Stop it.” Her eyes were red in anger and Shame. Then share the copy of authenticity with everyone in the room. Everyone giving her disgusted look, she starts sobbing hardly and try to sneak out, but bodyguards stopped her. Steve threw the lawsuit on her face, and I handover the other one to the journalist who was involved with her. We hand over her and his partner to police. “ You have to pay for it...” she cried out loud like a crazy woman.

“I hope now you know the truth, from next time on be aware of your questions and what you published in the news paper,” Steve said in a bitter tone, clearly giving indirect warning to everyone.

No one dares to request any question further. They only apologies to Steve and ensure him to clear out his image again.

With that, I also headed back with him to his apartment to accompany him, as I knew him well, that everything will still be on his mind, especially his mystery girl.
