Sake of Love (Billionaire's obsession)

Hannah is back

Roshana’s P.O.V

One fine Saturday evening, my phone rang from an unknown number. I answered, “Hello”.

“Hey Rosh”, Hannah spoke from the other end.

Oh my god, its Hannah. She was calling me after 3 years or maybe more. I was speechless to hear her voice. My only best friend got disappeared for years and suddenly she was calling me. I was also happy that finally, she decided to call me after these many years.

“Han, where are you?” I uttered.

“I came to town yesterday”

“Where the hell did you go? Why didn’t you call me? Your phone was switched off. I tried to contact you many times, but no response, where were you?” I started to speak a lot.

She just chuckled, “Meet me at the bar at 6”.

I nodded and responded quickly, “yes, I will be there.”

“I got to go. bye “She hung up

Hannah was always like a happy pill. Whenever I think Hannah, I could only her happy and cool face but that day, I could feel something was not right. Her voice was sad and low. Anyway, I was going to meet her, and I could ask her what she was going through.

I wore my favorite dress with high heels on that evening. I told one of the servants that I would be late that night and requested her to take care of Adrian.

When I reached the bar near my mother's home where I and Hannah used to hang out often years back, she was already waiting for me at the entrance. She looks so pale and launched a bitter smile after seeing me. Her eyes were full of dark circles and she looked like she had a tough time recently.

As I was gazing at her with a smile, approached her quickly and hugged her, “Han, what happened to you. You look like” I paused and exhaled heavily.

She just nodded, “Let’s go inside.” She smiled.

We sat and ordered some drinks. I know she was going through something horrible, but I was sure I should not insist on her to spit everything.

“How is Adrian doing?”

“He is good. How are you doing?”

“Good” she nodded.

“No, you don’t look so. Tell me what happened?”

“Nothing I am fine. I am just tired a bit due to travel.”

“Han, I know you” I gave her a sarcastic smile.

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

“No” she seemed to be annoyed by my questions, so I stopped asking

“You tell me. How is your life?”

I told everything. She apologized for not attending my mother’s funeral.

When I mentioned the name Edward. “What? Adrian’s father is Edward? You had s*x with Edward?” she was astonished to hear that.

“Do you know him?” I was flustered.

“I met him once in a gathering. what exactly a contract marriage is?”

“Aah, don’t ask me about it. I know it is a horrible idea. I just did everything for Adrian. I cannot lose him” I groaned.

“I get it” she nodded lightly.

“I am leaving town tomorrow”

“Tomorrow?”

“Yeah Rosh, I cannot stay for long”

Why she must leave the town? Why can’t she stay here? I really did not get it but did not intend her to tell also. I was so happy to see her but now I felt terrible on hearing that she was leaving soon.

“What do you mean you cannot stay here? Listen Han I can help you with anything. just tell me. You don’t have to suffer alone. I am here”. I told this holding her hand and looked at her eyes.

She smiled bitterly but I could see she was trembling inside. I could see her eyes were full of tears as soon as I hugged her.

“where are you going?” I asked.

“I cannot say”.

I shake my head and sighed

“I feel suffocating let’s go out” she uttered.

The time was around 10 pm when we came out of the bar. We were standing near the gate and she started smoking. Suddenly she was stunned on seeing someone from my behind. Her eyes were full of shock and were wide open. A cold voice from my back, “Hannah”.

I turned back to see who it was.

Its Eric. That was the man who Hannah met years back and he was one who came to Edward’s home the other day which was why his face looks familiar to me. His face was tensed up and he looked Hannah so coldly as if she did something wrong. He held her wrist and dragged her into his expensive car. Hannah was about to say something, but he started to drive as she waved at me. Within a minute the car was disappeared from my sight. I was startled, and I did not get what just happened. Does Hannah been Kidnapped or something? because Eric's face was so cold, and he might hurt Hannah. I thought of calling the police to inform this and searched for my phone. 

Ping.

A text from Hannah, “I am sorry to leave you. Don’t worry. He is my friend. You go home safely and let me know once you reach home”.

I was relaxed but still, my hands were shivering due to the sudden action of Eric’s. I booked a cab and waited for it to come. A car that was driven so fast stopped abruptly by my side. I know it was Edward’s car. I turned my face away as if I didn’t see his car and I was waiting for my cab.

I felt nervous because of Edward’s car was standing next to me and no one came out and got into the car. Why the hell his car is standing here. Is Edward in the car? Did he come for some work? I was confused still I acted normally and waited for my cab. Finally, after a long time, the taxi which I booked came and I was about to get into the taxi,” Roshana” Edward’s cold voice.

Edward’s P.O.V

I was still curious about how Eric would know Roshana. I texted Eric, "Let us go for a drink tonight."

We ordered some drinks at the bar.

I started, “How do you know Roshana?”

He laughed loudly, “Someone is interested in Roshana.”

I rolled my eyes and smiled.

“Oh, are you in love with Roshana” he smirked raising one eyebrow.

“oh, come on, shut up Eric”

“This marriage is just for Adrian. I have nothing to do with Roshana”. He said this by imitating me.

“Okay, you don’t have to say” I was not angry but just acted like I was mad.

“I dated her friend long before”

I could see a sudden change in Eric's mood after saying this. He lowered his eyelids and said.

“you won’t be knowing how much you love a person until you lost the person” Eric replied in a low tone.

“Eric, I guess you are drunk” I giggled.

Unlike our previous conversations which were usually about Businesses, Cars, and women, that day’s talk was different. It was about love. I could see Eric was in deep pain, but I did not ask, and he also did not say anything. Eric never shared his personal stuff to me and I too never expected him to share. It might be his personal, or he might feel uncomfortable speaking to me about it.

Eric’s phone rang, “Hello” he answered.

“What? Where? I will go right away” he got so tensed up and hung up the phone.

"Eric, what happened? Is everything okay?" I asked.

“I have to go Edward. Don’t drive if you are drunk”, he patted my shoulder and rushed out.

I did not know what he was going through. He seemed to be on to something. I ordered more drinks and was drinking alone. Once Eric left, I was thinking about the time I see Roshana. Few times, I had followed her to the school where she was working but she never noticed. Whenever I think of her, I could not control myself from smiling. What the hell did you do to me Roshana?

Ping.

A text from Eric," Roshana is at the Cosmo bar entrance". 

What? What the hell she is doing there at this time. It was past 10. I hurried to my car and drove as fast as I can to reach the place where Eric told me.

I stopped the car next to her. She was standing there wearing a skimpy dress and half of her body was exposed. I was extremely angry to see that. How she could wear something like this and I felt jealous when I was thinking everyone can see her, even some men could hit on her. She glared at my car and I thought she would walk and get into the car, but she didn’t. I didn’t understand this girl’s mind. Why doesn't she get into the car? We had s*x the other night. Why she doesn’t know that I like her? Is she that dumb? Or she was acting as if she doesn’t care anything? does she want me to beg for her to get in? I never waited for any girls. If it was some other girl I would have left but Its ROSHANA. I could not leave that place.

when she was about to get into another car, I pushed the car door in a haste,” Roshana” I called her. When she turned to me I was speechless to see her. Her eyes were stunningly beautiful. I could feel my heart beating so fast.

“Get in the car “I rolled my eyes to my car.

“umm, No thanks. I will take the taxi”, she replied cautiously.

“I. said. Get. in” I growled in a cold voice.

She hesitated for a moment and got into my car, sat next to my seat. I was driving so fast, “Edward careful, drive slow”. She trembled but I did not respond to her.

“Where are we going?” she questioned.

“To smoke”

I drove to the lakeshore which I used to go alone often, and I parked the car in the middle of the meadow. There was no one except us. It was dark and quiet at that time. That place was unusually romantic that night. The weather was extremely chill, and I felt hot inside. I did not dare to look at the dazing girl next to me because I know I would start to kiss her, tore her dress apart, and would make love. I controlled myself from doing such things. I lit my cigarette and started smoking.

“Are you done smoking? Let’s go home” She sneered.

“I didn’t like your dress”

“Okay,” she shrugged as if I gave some compliment.

“Don’t wear this hereafter”

“you cannot tell me what I need to wear. It’s not in our contract Mr. Edward. I can wear anything I want”, she snarled at me.

“I have added this condition just now. You should only wear what I like.”

“What?” she frowned. “F*ck you,” she said in a very low voice, but I heard it.

“You and Adrian are mine now. You have no choice rather than listening to me”, I slammed my lips on hers. She slapped my face so hard and I could feel the pain.

“You allowed me to do everything and now you are slapping me for a kiss” I laughed.

“Take me home Edward.”, She was shivering. I don’t want Roshana to hate me. I just drove home. She rushed out of the car and ran to her room.
