Chapter 85 - Thank you and sorry

" I have a flight for Hyderabad tonight so Bro will pick you now and," giving the looks that say 'do not dare to deny me' to Shanaya, Vansh continued" You will be staying in my room."

"I will order a cab," replying him back, Shanaya took a sip from the juice glass she was holding.

She was not going to be in the same car as Vihaan, no, never.

It was almost an hour since the party has started and she was already feeling bore. She had cleverly denied any dance request and was grateful no one had forced her.

After introducing three of them to the several members present, Mr Singhania had asked them to join him for the toast in honour of Vihaan.

Shanaya would have joined them, but, the horror of kissing Vihaan hours ago was haunting her.

And, to add more to it, Vihaan had not removed them at all!

The moment he had entered, Shanaya had thought he would have removed them and, her eyes had automatically looked at his neck..

"Look at me, please look at me!" speaking to herself, she had prayed for Vihaan to look at her, just once, but to no avail.

He had been enjoying the party to himself, giving not a single glance at her.

Every time she would look someone saying something in his ear, she would think the topic was the marks on his neck and would let the breaths go she would be holding when the person would shake hand with him and would go, without glancing at her at all.

"Bro won't eat you up, Shana. You will go with him or else I will miss the flight just because I would be dropping you at home."

"Vansh I am ȧduŀt enough to go myself. I do not need someone." hissing back at him, Shanaya smiled at some guests who passed closer to her.

"I know, but, none of us is taking the risk. Why the hell you can't go with bro!?" trying to control his anger, Vansh spoke within his teeth.

"I just can't go."

Before she could hear Vansh's they were interrupted by Mr Singhania request " Ms Shanaya, May I have the honour of dancing with you?"

Dancing and Shanaya? It was the biggest blunder anyone could see.

Smiling with a little hesitation, Shanaya spoke " Mr Singhania, I am sorry. I do not know how to dance."

"Oh come on Shanaya. Just follow my steps and, you will be dancing." not buying her lies, Mr Singhania insists.

Shanaya had hoped stating the truth would help her, but it did not like it. She was not ready to let some stranger touch her. She knew Mr Singhania was a decent man and, would not, touch her inappropriately, she still did not want it.

But, considering the deal and, the business relationship, she smiled and accepted the invitation.

"See you safe tomorrow" stating all the things he wanted to convey in a simple sentence, Vansh looked at her and bid her bye.

Shanaya understood the look. It said 'either go with the bro or else you will face me.'

Vihaan might have been dancing with someone else, but all he could see was Shanaya. He hated seeing her with someone else, but he could not blame anyone.

He had been ignoring her on purpose. He knew, the moment he met her eyes, she would ask him about the marks and, he was not ready to remove them, yet.

He could feel her eyes on him all along with the party and wasn't that something to cheer and love.

He hissed when he saw Singhania's hand resting on Shanaya's waist and, all he could think was murderous.

It was supposed to be a secret.

He could feel his hands on her body and, the red dress she was wearing had hardly acted as a barrier. The dress had felt like another skin on Shanaya's body to Vihaan's hand and, the moment he had seen her, his mind had gone blank.

The moment he had put his hand on her, he had wanted to keep touching her. The dress was decent but sėxy. Hell, he could see every curve of her and unfortunately, other males present at the party.

But, not like he had some claims on her and could dare them to look at her.

She was a woman, a pretty and sėxy woman, and he was well aware of the mindset of a man.

Now, he understood the agony of letting someone see what's yours.

Shanaya might have been 'all smiling', but deep down, she was counting every minute to her freedom. She was feeling trapped while being with Singhania, but, not like he was offending her.

He was the same decent man she had thought of her, his hands touching nothing more of her body than required. But, something within her was unsettling and, she knew the reason very well.

Her body was fighting his touch.

She would not have loved Vihaan more but, at the moment when she heard Vihaan speaking from behind" Ms Shanaya, I think we should take leave."

She could not believe after ignoring her in all the party, he was there, rescuing her.

But, not like he knew she was in need.

"Mr Vihaan, you are such a mood spoiler. I was enjoying the time with Ms Shanaya." speaking as if his every word matters, Singhania spoke.

"I am sure it would have been all lovely, but, we need to go." something in Vihaan's voice seemed different to Shanaya, but she ignored it.

All she wanted was to be at home.

"I too think we should take our leave, Mr Singhania. I came along with Vansh and, since he has some business, I have to go along with Mr Vihaan. He would already reach home late after dropping me at my home."

None of the employee or their business partners knew Shanaya was living in Rathore's Mansion except Ms kriti and, Erina. And, Shanaya was going to make sure no one ever found it.

As soon as they were out in the garage, Shanaya blurted out" Thank you and Sorry."

"For what?" turning himself to look at her, Vihaan stopped walking.

"Thank you for everything you have done for me. Sorry for not trusting you. Sorry for creating problems for you."Shanaya spoke while looking down at her heels which were making holes in the grass.

Looking at her, Vihaan remained silent. His mind thinking hard. He opened his mouth after a second "Are you thankful and sorry from your heart?"

"Ofcourse!" lifting her head, Shanaya looked straight in his eyes.

Every word she spoke was from her heart and, she was not going to be a coward, for not taking responsibility for her own, words.

Giving her his one of the mischief smile, he closed the distance between them and spoke with beaming eyes" Prove it by doing something for me."
