Opening his eyes just before the alarm he turned it off not wanting to bother himself with that annoying sound. He anyway was a light sleeper. It was early three in the morning but nothing new for him. It's his usual time to wake up. After an hour workout in his attached gym he took a cold shower just like his personality.

Getting freshen up in exactly half an hour in his coal black suit and Rolex watch, he sipped his espresso while going through the business news. The stock value of Oberoi Industries have been rising but not with the pace he wanted. Well this was clearly not something he would like, achievement is his life and he can do anything for what he want. Anything means ANYTHING!

He settled down to have his breakfast at five, no one wake up this early except for the servants who had to assist him and Khanna. After having certainly tasteless oats and beetroot juice he was all set to leave for his office.

He first went to his grandmother's room and kissed her wrinkled cheeks as she was sleeping then visiting his brothers' room once he left toward the car as his bodyguards and Khanna followed him. They arrived the office at exact six, two hours before the working hours start.

Walking inside the dead silent office he reached to his cabin that was on the topmost floor. The entire topmost floor belonged to the CEO that was him. In the 14 floors head office of Oberoi group of industries the topmost floor was reserved for him. Only his personal secretary, his recruitment manager Mishra, Khanna and his family were allowed on this floor that to only for work purpose.

His cabin gave an entire view of Mumbai from the wide glass frame. The classy and mostly black and white cabin had only one thing of attraction 'if we remove the owner of the cabin' and that was the wall beside the gate which was filled with pictures of devil with his brother. Only his!

He settled down on his chair and went through his files in silence. His mind was as strong as his body. Looking at the time which was seven, he knew Mishra would have arrived and dialled him a call "Mishra did you appointed my new personal secretary?" he asked not bothering the greeting of the man on the other side.

"Yes sir Vidhi would be reporting you in an hour!" Shivaay scowled in anger "Didn't I warned you Mishra I dammit don't want a girl for this post. Why can't you get that small thing in your peanut size brain." screamed Shivaay over the call and Mishra was sure he wouldn't be able to hear anything for another half an hour but looks like even his ears were scared of the devil to turn off when he is speaking.

"Sir but in such a short notice we weren't able to find a qualified person. Trust me sir she is highly professional and qualified. She will definitely not annoy you." Mishra tried his best. It was the sixth personal secretary he was appointing for Shivaay this month. Shivaay hates unprofessional people. He had fired two male PA's because he found them flirting during office hours and four female personal assistants for ogling at him. He hates the look they give him. It didn't intimidated him. He just hate such unprofessional behavior.

"I promise if I find this girl looking at me anywhere other than my face I swear I will lock you up with this girl until she rapes you off!"

He placed the land-line back with a thud and rubbed his forehead annoyed with yet another event in his life. On the Other side Mishra led out a sigh and made a mental note to give Vidhi a good set of advice before letting her go in the Devil's den.

"What are my schedule for today Vaishali?" asked Shivaay to his newly appointed secretary who had just arrived and greeted him only to receive a cold nod in return.

"Sir it's Vidhi." corrected Vidhi and Shivaay glared her with his currently baby blue eyes "I am not here to make your resume Vidhi, instead of correcting me just tell what l asked!" His dangerous voice was enough for Vidhi to gulp.

She made sure she kept looking at his face while she gave him his day schedule although the sight of his naked chest because of few open buttons attracted her eyes a lot. He was the one at fault to look this divinely no not divinely devilishly handsome still here he fire poor girls.

"And last one is the business party tonight!" she ended and Shivaay led out a frustrated sigh. Not again a party. The things that annoys him most about the party is the constant question about whom he is dating and if he is single than the various flirting approaches he have to go through.

"Vasudha get ready you will also come in the party tonight and pretend to be my girlfriend!"

Vidhi looked at him dumbfounded. First he didn't asked her just ordered, well not that she minded and secondly he again took her name wrong not that she will take the risk to correct him. If he want her as Vasudha she is better as Vasudha only!

"What? stop staring at me and go do your work. Mind you don't get too clingy with this act." he warned her and she left the cabin. Once in lift she led out a sigh of relief before jumping in joy. She was going to be girlfriend of The Shivaay Singh Oberoi even if for a single night and for pretense only, she was way too happy.

°°°°°°

Shivaay was hell irritated. Firstly because of the annoying party which he had to attend just for proper relationship with his clients and secondly because of the annoying girl who was clinging by his side. He cursed the moment he asked this girl to be his pretence girlfriend.

In the haste of making the other girls jealous she forgot his warning and was sticking him like a chewing gum. He lost his cool when she kissed his cheeks. Excusing himself he pulled her in a secluded corner as she gasped realizing her mistake. Shivaay's bodyguard followed him like always. He pushed her toward the wall with a jerk such that her back hit hard.

"I warned you to stay away from me. Couldn't you just follow what I say." he yelled making her cry in pain and fear. He walked a few steps near her and punching his fist on the wall beside said in a high pitched voice "You are fired whatever your name is. Don't show me your face from tomorrow." she shuddered in fear as she spoke "Please.... "

"Hey you why are you misbehaving with her? "

Shivaay heard a soft voice filled with anger and turned to see a young girl cladded in a formal shirt and denim wearing an ID card standing in front of him frowning with her hands wrapped around her chest. With her attire he knew she was one among the event organizers. 'Again a girl!' He thought annoyed.

Khanna was going to interrupt but Shivaay showed his palm to him "Listen Ms. whoever you are, leave right now. I am really not in a mood to entertain your silly flirtings."

"First of all listen Mr Whoever you are My name is Annika and secondly I am not flirting with you so keep your damn attitude and ego in your pocket." she snapped back at him and for a minute Shivaay was tongue tied with her attitude.

"Can't you understand one damn thing just get lost lady." he yelled back regaining his posture. "and go and throw yourself on some other rich man for those bundles of money---"his talks were replied by a hard-damn-slap on his face as he closed his eyes at the stinging pain given by her palm on his cheeks.

"This is for trying to molest this girl and secondly for your thinking which I don't know how low and cheap is! "

The security guards were going to raise their guns at her but Shivaay showed his palm still not facing the girl and bending his head in the same posture as it was from her slap. His eyes had turned blood red. Khanna dragged away Vidhi as Shivaay held the girl's arm in a tight grip making her gasp in pain and surprise. He dragged her to the same wall without looking at her and pushed her toward it. His bloodshot eyes then met her chocolate brown eyes that reflect innocence and kindness. Something he doesn't have at all. The fear started dissolving in her eyes seeing the darkness of those blue hazel orbs and that gave an sense of relief to Shivaay. He loved to see fear in people's eyes for him!

"You don't know Annika what you have got yourself into. You will pay your entire life for this slap. Meet you soon young lady!"

He turned to leave while Annika still stood their perplexed with the turn of events. He once again turned to her "and yes---" he trailed off as he took steps closer to her and stood just in front of her. Pushing his head near her ears and taking a deep breath, he whispered in his deadly husky voice.

"Welcome to my hell sweetheart!"
