' Fire Meets The Storm '

Nia

A pair of black eyes locked with mine, I couldn't even avert my gaze from him. My jaw dropped to the ground, eyes wide open and completely astonished at his stunning visuals.

He was the finest, most perfect man I've ever witnessed. It was as if Prince Charming was standing right in front of me.

His dark-black fierce, narrowed eyes with fixed expression held power and  gave unbothered stares like he knows he's hot.
With an exceptional height of maybe 6,2 or something, he was epitome of perfection.

Well groomed and trimmed beard that shaped his sharp jawline perfectly. His hair ruffled into a natural messy-sexy kinda look.

Am I dreaming?

"Please, have a seat. I want to talk about your concerns." He spoke with his velvety soft voice that almost had me slip under him...

Enough.
I saw one hell of a handsome man. Now get the dirty thoughts out and focus.
Wake up!

I took a few seconds to compose myself before nodding my head. The mysterious hunk gestured at the minister, and he walked out.

Mr. Dhiren Lal Singh, the most powerful and respected politician, walked out from his own office. My eyes bulge out from the shock, at this rate of surprises my jaw will break off , literally. It started aching already.

If Mr. Dhiren obeyed him and treated him with utmost respect and honour. I bet, the stranger in front of me was way more powerful than I imagined.

"Have a seat"

Again! His voice is so low and seductive!

"Sure!" I took my seat calmly, but from inside I was shaking but not nervous. He did make me nervous but not in that way. It was different but most probably because he's hot!

That's it.

I sat at the tip of the chair, with a stiff shoulder and straight back. Whereas, he sat relaxed, leaning back in the comfortable chair.

I mentally rolled my eyes at him.

Men *tsk*

"Viraj Malhotra" He introduced with a calm tone and a curt nod.

"Nia Arora."

"I know." He said unconcerned and completely careless whereas I nearly choked at his words.

He knows? How? And why?

"Miss Nia, I heard you've been trying to open an orphanage?"

"Yes. But how is that your concern?"

He lifted his one perfect eyebrow at me, rather surprised by my instant quirky reply. I too returned the favour by not tearing my gaze from his face.  Usually, at this moment every other person would be pissed off.

But, he laughed!

A deep chuckle left his mouth, turning his head sideways as if not believing what I just uttered out.

"Miss Nia-"

"Please drop the miss. It's making me cringe." I said with a serious face. He tilted his head a bit chuckling, yet again.

I do not like 'miss or ma'am or madam' kind of endearment. I prefer my name to be called without any endearments. Those words seriously make me cringe from the bottom of my heart. And he used it twice.

He nodded with amused eyes fixed on my face, taking his time to speak. His gaze did something to me, I may not believe it. But, I was kinda melting? if it's even possible.

"John, bring the file." A man entered with a bored expression, but he was not sluggish. He was in perfect shape and attentive towards Mr. Viraj.

A professional attitude, indeed.

He kept a huge black file on the desk and stepped back to a distance until he was a few steps behind Viraj
Do I open it? I looked at John and then at Viraj, clueless as to what to do.

Viraj gave a curt nod at me, I immediately took the file in my hand, opening it without giving it much thought.

There were a bunch of documents related to some land or whatever.  From the corner of my eyes, I saw him smirking while putting his palm underneath his chin and keeping his hand in the right arm of the chair.

I squinted my eyes and frowned at the irrelevant documents in front of me.
Was he fooling around?

"I don't understand. Why is this relevant to me? "

"I have a deal."

Suddenly, his whole personality changed in a snap of a finger. Once again, my eyes nearly bulged out and rolled on the floor and my mouth hung wide open, at the sudden change in his tone and attitude. Now, his voice came out rough and heavy, his velvety soft tone from earlier already gone.

As if a whole new and different person came and sat instead of the previous one.

I was charmed .

"As you can see, I am a businessman and I have to admit I have my eyes on something that belongs to you."

"My property?"

Mr. Viraj's eyes glinted with a flash of light as amusement danced in those narrowed and fierce stares.

Who would be dumb to not know that? Of course I knew it. I didn't just spend half of my teenage life just for nothing. I know when people involve themselves in someone's life they either want something or need their urgent help.

I atleast got that much experience!

"A property in exchange of your property"

He smirked at me, dangerously! I too hold back my smirk. I knew it. All of them were the same old greedy people with lack of emotions or humanity.

"Can you explain it to me better." My voice echoed in confidence. He raised his perfect eyebrows, probably not expecting my question.

The man in front of me sitting with arrogance dripping from every part of his goddamn hot body was yet another arrogant brat I dealt with this month.

I know how to tick them off!

"Miss Nia, I will be sincere and straightforward. The thing is.." After a bit of dramatic pause he continued."I would like to buy your property. Just name your price."

"I -"

"I will give you anything in return. Just name it. A piece of land, money, or all of that!"

I raised my eyebrows and he passed me a bright yet lamest, forced smile.

"Anything?" I replied mirroring his smile. He gave me a curt nod with challenging eyes.

After a few seconds of silence, I burst into a fist of slow laugh, to add spice. Cause why not?

After all, it was amusing!

"Sure!" I squeak out, smirking at him.

A deep frown appeared on his forehead. I tried to suppress my giggles that nearly escaped.

________

Viraj

Nia Arora.

She wasn't at all what I had assumed. She wasn't boring, but pretty! No, not just pretty. Gorgeous and Alluring beauty with mysterious aura and powerful personality.

Her beautiful brown eyes sparked with a will to bring a change, a rebellious energy filled with chaotic and lively sparks. Her gaze shifted from soft and warm to mean and judgemental sometimes.

Her expression changed every time I utter a word. It amused me.

"Can you explain it to me better." She boldly said confidently holding my gaze looking straight at me with a poker face.
She did pull some nerves.

But, it was hot!

She's full of fire, vengeful and chaotic spirit!

The spark in her almond eyes ignited something in me. Her glossy lips looked soft and delicious whenever she parted her lips, shocked at minimal things . One strand of her hair delicately touched her cheeks and my hands itched to free her hair from the tight ponytail.

She brings out a desire in me. To ravish her and to be ravished by her!

When I told her about the real deal, her gaze shifted from my face, I caught a glimpse of hesitation. So, I added."I will give you anything in return. Just name it. A piece of land, money, or all of that!"

I gave her my best fake smile, I bet she can't reject my offer. Her eyes glistened when I offered her more than she could ask, perhaps a hint of greed?

"Anything?"

She asked with a smile playing on her lips, all the hesitation flying out of the room. I sucked in a large breath when she stared at me coldly.

A challenge, huh? Well, two can play a game.
.
.
.

The whole room echoed with her dry laugh, a mocking one.

I clenched my jaws hard and tightened my fist under the table.

"Sure." She squeaked out with confidence. I smelled something fishy but didn't let it show.

"Is it a deal then?"

"Of course." She said,her face dead serious.

"I am delighted-"

"Anything you said." She asked, and arched an eyebrow, leaning a bit towards me.

My eyes unconsciously went to her collarbone that was sweetly inviting me to devour. She's such a tease. The need to grab by her neck and kiss her until she drops to her knees drove me almost insane. God!knows how I am controlling myself from jumping on her.

She snapped her fingers smugly, smirking at me.

Does she know who she's playing with?

I gave John a glance but he was already giving me a surprised look.

"So I will keep my property in exchange for my property." She said aloud, dead serious.

My jaw dropped on the floor, John's eyes went wide and snickered but shut his mouth when his eyes fell on my cold glares.

That woman proudly stood up and walked out with a confident walk and arrogant style, unbothered.

I clenched my jaws and slammed my fist on the table hard enough to leave me with bruises.

I swear I will fuck up her entire life and destroy the core of her confidence.

Wait and watch!
