"What did you say?" His deep voice asked with a touch of surprise making my eyes widened with the realization that he had heard what I had mumbled to myself.

"Nothing," I swiftly replied without a second thought.

He looked over his shoulder, his eyes harboring indecipherable emotions, "but I heard something else."

"Your ears are ringing."

Immediately, I turned around and rushed towards the gym to prevent him from further questioning me. Me and my big stupid mouth! God, have some mercy upon it!

Rynah Rynah?

Yes papa

Did you kill Viaan?

No papa

Telling lies?

No papa

Then show me Viaan

Ha ha ha...

If I had to describe my mental condition in one line, it would be - gone insane due to boredom.

And to top it all with a cherry, Viaan reached my limit of patience for an entire year, which was already very low. Right at six in the evening, I had been woken up from my precious sleep, tied to a chair while the makeup artist and the hairstylist worked on mine. Even after my continuous struggling, nagging, threatening and cursing. And the reason for such a pitiful condition of mine hadn't even cared to make his appearance before me till I was pushed inside the awaiting car. If it wasn't for Asha, I would have still been tied to the chair wriggling.

I had missed my mini supper making me more cranky and Viaan had the audacity to show me to the people around us like I was a museum artifact. If it was just that, I would have been saner than I was right now. He had to go and crack jokes at my expense and laugh at them! As if I wasn't standing right beside him all the time!

Even now, he was commenting something about me being a mardy marmot. That did the trick, I whipped around to face him, with the nastiest glare I could muster with my drained strength.

"This is all your fault! I would have been really happy without you in my life!" I was so pissed at the amused looking Viaan that I felt like pulling my hair and then pulling his.

What was his problem with life? He had me attending an annual get together of companies with all sorts of business folks. There were CEOs of big MNCs and then there were managers of little hypermarkets. And I didn't need Viaan to drive me crazy before the entire corporate world at the moment.

"You mean to say you were ready to marry that grandpa guy instead of me?" Viaan placed his hand over his mouth to hide the upward curl of his lips. He sure was in a good mood making mine even fouler.

"Ready? I would be happier as hell to have been married to him than you!" My conscience was shaking her head at me.

Lying is bad Rynah... You were ready to die instead of marrying that pedophile.

I was but he would be much better than this arrogant jerk here! How bad could he have been?

"There," Viaan pointed towards the back profile of a familiar-looking man, smirking. I didn't understand what he was trying to tell initially until I recognized the half-bald person dressed in a suit as he laughed. The key feature to recognize him was the vortex baldness and that peculiar crying-snorting laugh.

"Yourex-fiance," Viaan's whisper in my ear let his breath fan my skin and cause shivers to roll down my spine. At that point, I didn't understand if it was because of Viaan or Mr. Nath. My eyes were saucer wide, unable to digest the fact that I would have had to spend my entire life with such a bizarre fellow if Viaan hadn't stepped in.

"I wonder what your expression would have been at the moment if I had let him marry you?" There was amusement and tease in his voice.

I swore to god that I would never think about that man ever again.

"Since you found your happiness with such a decent looking greybeard, instead of a rich, handsome, well-built CEO like me. Let me not take your happiness," Viaan grabbed me by my hand and dragged me towards myex-fiance.

"Huh? I mean... What? Wait! What are you doing?" Even me digging my heels in the ground didn't help. Viaan was stronger than me.
