Akansha's pov
"What do you want rishi?" I asked him in a stern voice. He walked up to the place where I was sitting. He stood in front of me. I glared at him. "I like your attitude." He said. "Did you come here to tell that?" I asked him. "No"He said with a smirk on his face.
I got up from my seat and I walked towards the window that was in my room. I felt someone holding my hand. When I turned back rishi pulled me towards him. He held me by my hip . We were so close, that our lips where just inches away. He went near my ears and said "I never knew that girls will become hot and sexy when they turn 24." I pulled him by his collar and said "I am not the same Akansha , who would fall for your touch and fake words . Now I'm the queen for the empire called park group of hotels . So better stop messing with me. Better tell me what you want."
"You are a queen for this empire. Iam a king for the evano group of companies. Why don't you become the queen for my empire too." He asked me in a deep voice. "I will never become your queen Mr billionaire. " I said and pushed him away. He looked at me with a shocked look. He adjusted his coat and looked at me. I just staired at him. "I don't mind even if your in love with anyone, I will only be your husband. Just remember you always belong to me. " he said the last part in a stern voice and left the room. I was left alone with my thoughts again.

I opened the door to my penthouse that was situated in the 35th floor of my hotel. I got in and switched on the lights. Every day I enter this place with a lot of thoughts about my life. But for the past few days I never entered with a sadness. Today I am back with it.
I went and sat on the couch that could fit six people in it. It was a large one. I sat there comfortably and closed my eyes. It went from butterflies fluttering in my stomach to bees stinging my heart. Bees are still stinging my heart. Today is one of those days I wish I was a little girl and could climb into my mother's lap and cry until my hurt goes away. I know it is never going to happen.
I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in , but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside. People tell me to be strong , but they don't understand what it feels like to feel so weak. My illusion my mistake.....
Thinking about all these made tears to come out of my eyes. I got up from there and moved to my room. I did not want to switch on the lights. I was scared if I did so I would be caught weak. I opened the curtains of the large Windows in my room. The moon light fell into my room. I stood there looking at the moon. Atleast the moon wasn't broken like me.
I felt someone's hands on my shoulder. When I turned and saw it was my little Ray of hope. My best friend arjun. He has been with me through all the phases of my life. I just hugged him and cried in his arms. He hugged me back in way that assured me everything will be fine. He made me to sit on my bed. I rested my head in his chest and cried. I don't know how long I cried. But I knew I had cried alot only by the wetness in arjun' s shirt. I took my head from his chest and sat properly.
Once he knew I was ok he asked me "Akansha what happened?" I wiped out the tears on my cheeks and I looked at him and said " I don't like this feeling arjun. The feeling of not having control over your own heart. I keep myself busy with things to do , but everything i pause to think about him. He said he cared. No , he didn't because he lied to me. He said I was all he wanted. No I wasn't. He broke me and went. And now he is back again break me ."
"Akansha don't go back to the old person you was three years back . Please bunny you know what all happened to you. You know your health condition. Please bunny don't become the old person you was." He said holding my hands. "Arjun you know what my past was. You know what my present is. You know what my future will be. " I said in a voice full of sadness. "You know what happened to me when you weren't ok. You know what all happened around you . "He said in a voice full of concern.
"Bunny tell me what happened today." He said. I told him everything that happened today. Every bit of what happened I told him. He listened to everything carefully. After hearing to what I said, he said "bunny you need to be strong. Never show your weakness to him. Never show him you are broken or hurt by him. Give him the pain he gave you." I felt a bit motivated to face the next day a head of me.
Arjun made me to sleep and covered me with the bed sheath. He gave me a kiss on my forehead and said "remember one thing what ever happens I am there with you." "Thank you aju " I said "sleep well bunny. I will stay today here in the guest room. If you want anything just call me. " he said and left the room. I need to keep my head up and my heart strong. Tomorrow is going to be a day for me to show who I am now........
