' A Night To Remember'

Nia

"Nope." I said popping out the 'p'.
"That's not gonna happen.. ever."

I stood up from the couch after listening to both of their explanations on why I should go with Viraj on a date!

A freaking date!

With the most arrogant living creature I've ever encountered in my whole life...

Hell no!.

"It's not like we both have a choice." Viraj stood up too and said with furrowed eyebrows and cold stares.
"And if I had a choice, trust me I won't even look at you."

" Ugh- How dare you?"
I puffed my chest and challenged him with stone cold stares.

"Cause I am Viraj Malhotra. And, you darling ain't even a competition for me."

"Well then go on this date alone. Mark my words.." I moved a bit near him,and keeping my scrutinizing gaze on him, I added.
" You won't even have a whiff of me."

For a minute we stayed in that position, chin to chin challenging him. He didn't tear off his gaze nor did I.
If he's asking for a fight he will definitely get one, right now.

He sighed out loud and grabbed his hair in a fist, looked at me for a second and again turned around.

I smirked at his frustration and annoyance that was growing bit by bit. I knew his patience was hanging on a thin line, and I was determined to cut that off.

But in a sudden movement my legs left the ground as a hand sneaked around my waist. I shrieked and tried to catch whatever came in my hand and shut my eyes tightly. Expecting a cold hard floor but it never came instead a warm but still hard wall like made me open my eyes.

Viraj looked straight forward without an ounce of emotion. When I realised what happened, he was already walking out.

He freaking carried me bridal style. The nerve of this man!

"Let me down. How dare you touch me? "
I shrieked out, trying to wiggle out of his grasp with all my might. John stood bewildered but soon got out of trance when Viraj signalled him to go out while he calmly held me in his iron grip.

"This is kidnapping. It's illegal. Get me down." I yelled but it fell into deaf ears, he didn't even glance at me and kept walking as if he's not carrying a human in his arms.

"Let me go right now,Mr. Viraj Malhotra."

Now that got his attention, he glanced at me and smirked but didn't stop.

"Hush it down.. Miss soon-to-be-Mrs. Malhotra."

I can't... I can't with this man.

He just hushes me when he's literally taking me without my consent. I gritted my teeth and wiggled more in his arms with all my energy which made him lose his balance for a bit.

Do I not weigh enough? How's he carrying me so effortlessly?

Take this Mr. He-man.. I jolted upright causing him to stumble and nearly fall.
Viraj abruptly halted in his step and so did I.

He glared at me with his piercing gaze and spoke in a low voice.

"I will drop you if you don't stop wiggling right now."

My eyes went wide at the level of warning he had in his glares. I grabbed by his neck with both of hands and immediately stopped all of the movements.

I can't take the risk..

He started walking again and I hid my face when the sun rays fell on me. People might be giving weird looks by now. I peeked around and oh god how I wished I would be dead five feet down by now.

John was already waiting for us with the car door opened .He made me sit first and get himself in the driver seat. Without any further words he drove us off and I was more than glad to leave the place asap.

"Why are you blushing?" His voice boomed in the car but I didn't pay no heed. I was trying to calm myself and get my heart to beat the normal way.

"Don't tell me you just built a whole new world of imagination when I just merely picked you up."

"What the hell? I am concerned for myself rather than you."

"Why though? I don't bite, you know."

"But you got teeth anyways."

I retorted back and he just shrugged.

"Why are you so desperate for my presence?"

"Well, long story short, the paparazzi knows about us and we gotta act like a couple." He flashed a smile my way and rolled his eyes, his stare returning to cold one.

"It's not like I did it."

I regretted the minute the words left my mouth cause he was glaring at me, a cold hard glare that was enough to send shivers down the spine.

"We are a couple so we must act like one. Besides the wedding is in one week-"

"WHAT?"

Viraj's head snapped towards me when I screamed on top of my lungs. But didn't utter any words.

I just agreed to the marriage. How can the marriage be next week? At this insane rate they would expect a grandchild within the next month.

No.. this can't be.

I have only one week until I will get married to him?
This cold hearted arrogant monster?

"What?"

My eyes went wide and my mouth hung upon as the whole world froze.
Did I say it out loud?

"Nothing.. nothing."

Cold sweats formed on my forehead and I tried to flash him a smile, he looked at me weirdly and again focused on driving while shaking his head.

My life's finished.

I had only one week of my absolute clueless shitty freedom. After marrying into Malhotras I will be looked upon as a celebrity, out of nowhere I would be the daughter in law of the Billionaire's.

Shit!

Viraj

Where the hell I just stuck myself in?

Nia was constantly muttering under her breath with a deep frown like she's having a panic attack.

Wait! Don't tell me she's having one.

I drove off towards the parking lot and parked my car. She's still not aware that we had already reached.

I grabbed my handkerchief and wiped her forehead. She gasped and backed away till her back was against the car door.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah! Just feeling hot." She nervously said and got out of the car without realising what she just uttered out of her mouth.

I scoffed and got out of the car. I grabbed her hand and walked towards the elevator. She didn't resist nor did she retorted with sharp words.

She was silent..

For some weird reason I was not liking this side of her at all. The way she talks back and tries so hard to run away from me, it draws me more in and I just want to get close to her.

Her mysterious life makes me want to chase her more. To read her like an open book, like how everyone else are.

The elevator dinged open and I shook out of my daze, her hand was still in my grasp so I just took her with me.

A bunch of staff came up to me and showed me the VVIP room, which was inside the huge shopping complex.

We will first shop then onto the date. I can't appear with her in these clothes she's wearing.

"Nia, try all of this."

By the time I had a staff bring a huge pile of clothes she was already gawking at the place.

" I don't need clothes. I have plenty of it at home."

"Sure. Try this now." I handed her and she made a puffy face and walked out after grabbing a few from the pile I had given her.

I shook my head at her silliness.

I texted John to book a table at the Star Restaurant for around 6 pm.

The sound of the curtains opening caught my attention before I even saw John's reply.

And my jaw dropped- literally.

If appearance would kill someone I would be dead by now. Nia stood in a drop- dead gorgeous black gown with a cut in it's side that runs along her right thigh and compliments her rosy skin.

I wouldn't know if the dress was beautiful or was it her that made the dress to look beautiful.

"How do I look?" She asked slowly, touching her dress and nervously grabbing it.

"Stunning is the word I merely use.. so believe me when I say.. You look stunningly gorgeous."

I know she hates me but there's no harm in trying my flirtatious charm. Maybe she would give me a chance to serve her body right.

Only if I got the chance.. ugh!

Nia looked down and twirled around to face the mirror. I nearly choked myself to death when she turned around, her back facing me.

Fuck! That's too revealing!

I was a mess of coughs and sobs, my face went red as tomato or any other red things I've ever seen.

She scoffed glancing through the mirror.
" Aw! Are you blushing when I barely just turned?"

She just threw my words back at me. What could I say?
The dress had a deep cut that showed her perfect slender waist, and perfectly hugged her from every side. Her bare back would make everyone drop dead, if they don't.. well I would make sure they are dead for sure or everyone who stares at her.

"Show us the rings." I told the staff ignoring her words and they hurriedly ran to the back side.

"What ring?" She asked through the mirror.
I walked towards the counter that was on her side and stood there instead.

"Our engagement ring."

"We aren't engaged so why ring?"

"Again, long story short, we were engaged a week ago according to the paparazzi."

"I won't wear a ring without proper ritual."

I sighed and faced the staff that were strolling towards me with two black boxes of rings that I had already told them to prepare.

"Believe me, I also don't want anything that's happening but cooperate with me, everything is fake anyway."

I took one of the boxes and viola it was her's, before she got to answer back with anymore nonsense I slipped it in her ring finger.

"Welcome to my life, Darling."
