"Where are you? You said you had some meeting. Why it is taking so long?Is it far? You will get cab right? "

Should I tell her or not? She was getting really nervous. Ok it is better to tell her. She took a deep breath.

"Lily Actually.. .. I am in Greens villa. I came here to see Chris"

"What?.. Why didn't you tell us? Why are you meeting him so late? "

"He said I can meet him only now since he is busy. I didn't tell you because I know you will stop me from coming here. "

"Of course I will stop if I knew earlier or else I would have come with you. Why didn't you take me or jen with you. Hey !she knows?"

"No! I didn't tell her too. And he said I should come alone that's why I didn't.. "

"What? Are you mad addy? He made such weird conditions and you agreed? Are you stupid? You know this rich people right? Still you agreed to go? Your history with him is bad. Where is he? He is there? Tell whatever you have to tell and leave immediately. "

"He is not here yet. He told he will meet me at 9.I don't know why the hell he has not come. "

"What? He is playing with you gal. Just get out of there. Anyway he is not gonna meet you. We will find some other way. Just leave from there. "

"Ok I am leaving. Don't tell jen okay? I will leave now"

"Ok.but just leave from there now. Call me after getting the cab. "

"Ok" She hung up the call and went to the door to open. But it was locked. What? Why the hell it is locked.she pressed intercom and checked anybody there.

"Hello anybody there. "

No one responded. What the hell? How she will go from here. She took her phone tried calling Peter. But he was not responding. She become extremely panicked. Why? Oh god. Coming here was a mistake. She is completely trapped.Did he planned this on purpose? But why? Her throat become dry she turned she doesn't want to drink the juice now. She can't trust anything. With some courage she decided to go to kitchen to get some water. She took pepper spray from her bag.

She felt very vulnerable. She walked slow and cautiously. In the kitchen No one was there. she kept pepper spray on the counter,took a glass and filled water.

She was about to drink water suddenly someone came behind her

"There was orange juice... "

Sudden voice shocked her, she lost hold of the glass and when she turned abruptly she slipped in water and was falling.suddenly a strong hand pulled her hands,She fell on his chest. He slipped his hands through her waist and held her close to his body.She closed her eyes in order shut everything out. She was breathing heavily holding his shirt in the sudden shock as if to escape from something. She can hear his heart beats. Even he was breathing heavily.

Chris looked at her and smiled. When her roomate called He came to know she didn't even informed her friends that she was coming to meet him. When she was trying to go he locked the door using his mobile. When she was not able to open she became really scared and He was sure she will call Peter. He had warned him not to take her call. He decided to meet her. When he was coming down she was walking in to the kitchen like a cat. So he slowly followed her. She was just taking water. He just uttered two words. She become panicked and would have hit her head in the fall if he didn't caught her on time.

The way she is clinging to him made him smile. But this time instead of staring at him she has closed her eyes. She looked really scared and her heart is beating like drum. He loosened his hand her hair was covering her face. He moved the strands from her face and asked

"Are you alright? "

She suddenly came back to reality. She is holding Chris. Oh my god and she abruptly tried push him and move back. He pulled her closer to him. She looked up into his eyes. Oh god that green eyes. It is still deep as if it will take her inside. She felt as if she can't breathe.

Chris thought,She is always careless, there was glass particles and she was going to step on it if he didn't pulled her back. But this made her look into him. Oh that black eyes as if kohl. And No change oh god she is biting her lips.

Suddenly phone started ringing which brought both of them out of trance. He suspected she will move back so he said

"Don't move back. There is glass every where. "

"Oh.. " He loosened his grip and guided her outside kitchen. He was still holding her hand. She looked at her hand. He released her hand. She turned her head. Suddenly a realisation hit her.

"You were here? I didn't hear door opening. "

"No I just came now."

"But..."

"Yeah I was here only. And I was observing you since I didn't have any other work to do"

"I.. " There is no use arguing with him. It's already late better say what she had to say and leave. So she calmed herself and suppressed her frustration. she said

"Sorry, May be I didn't notice. "

Chris was shocked. She gave up so easily. Why? She is hiding her or she changed completely?

"Good.So" Suddenly her phone rang again. She turned and went to take the phone. It was lily. She must be scared. "Sorry Mr Adam I need to take this call. "

He was taken aback. Mr Adam? so formal. He replied

"Ok Miss hunts"

She didn't noticed the taunting in his voice. She started talking to lily.

"Yeah lily"

"You left from there? You didn't get cab? Should I come and pick you up? "

"I am still in Greens villa"

Before she could speak anything.Lily started shouting. She looked at Chris. He was looking keenly at her and he seemed little angry. She tried calming lily. She was telling about calling jen.

"Lily calm down. You don't have to call her. I am fine. Actually.. "

Suddenly He took the phone from her and started talking to lily

"Lily, is it? If I am not wrong you are Adhena's roommate. You don't need to panic I will drop your friend safely home. I keep my promises" And he hung up the call.

Adhena was shocked and angry. He cut her call. How could he do that.

"What? You disconnected it.. I was... "

"What? Are you angry? Anyway she was not listening to what you have to say. It was the good thing to do. "

She was angry. He disconnected the call and now he is acting as if he had the right to do and questioning her friend. She wanted to shout. But what's the use. She knows nothing will work on this prince Charming. So she calmed herself.

He was observing her changing emotions on her face. He came to know she is controlling her anger.

"Are you angry? Adhena"

"No I am fine. " It is better to talk the matter and leave. So she said "I wanted to discuss about the proposal....that"

Chris thought , ignoring everything and straight to the point. Good, so you want to leave soon. Let's see whether you will be able to.

"Oh I forgot you wanted water right.you can have this orange juice. "

Ignoring her words and asking to drink juice. She became doubtful.What if something is there in it.

"Oh.. That's ok. I am not thirsty now. "

"Oh you don't want orange juice. Then I will get water for you. "

"No need. I am fine. It is already late I would like to leave soon"

"Do you ? don't you have anything to discuss with me. Peter said you wanted to talk to me. "

"Yeah, I meant let's discuss without wasting much time. "

"Adhena, I am person who doesn't like wasting my time."

"No I didn't meant that you are wasting time. I.. "

He became serious. He was getting annoyed by her calm behavior.

"Please tell what you have to say fast. I too don't want to waste time"

He sat on the couch and pointed his hand towards other couch. She immediately sat on other couch.

"Let's discuss" He said
