Kyra

As I walked into the living room, I saw a tall muscular guy dressed sharply in a navy blue suit and his physique from behind reminded me so much of Reyansh, that my heart started racing and as I rounded the corner I faced HIM, Oh my god it actually was Reyansh Alex Kapoor, with his beautiful chiseled face and gorgeous blue eyes he looked the same or actually even more handsome than earlier, if that's even possible.

I was seeing him after so many months and he was in my mind so often that he almost seemed fictional and a fragment of my imagination, but no he was real. I was absolutely shocked as hell to see him standing in my house and interacting with my family. I didn't know if I'd ever see him again and now I got to know that he was a CEO and his highly advanced  security tech company was hired to provide security to our house and it's members.

Just then Abhay entered the living room and he hugged and attempted to kiss me, but somehow it felt wrong to do that under Reyansh's watchful eyes that's why I moved my face at the last second, his fists clenched when Abhay touched me. Abhay was then introduced to Reyansh and they shook hands and it looked like Reyansh's grip was very tight and strong because Abhay flinched but to his credit he didn't make a sound. This interaction was very odd, it almost seemed as though Reyansh was angry at Abhay for some reason.

So much had happened these past few months and from the last time I saw Reyansh that I almost felt like a different person, I physically healed but still had mental scars from that day, one of the most important deals of my life was signed - the one with Mr. Alexander and finally I got to know that I had to marry Abhay Singhania very soon and he was my childhood best friend and fellow billionaire, who I had met after more than a decade.

The reason I was given for such an abrupt wedding announcement was that it was strategic plan which would merge both the vast empire's of the Oberoi's and Singhania's. My quick wedding was also personally crucial to me because I was just recently made aware that there was a stipulation in me inheriting the Oberoi Empire, it was stated in my Grandfather's Will that I had to get married before I turned 24 years old, shocking right??????

24 may seem like a weird number but it was apparently set by an astrologer (based on superstitions), that the heir to the Empire should be married before they are 24 years old otherwise, legally I could not inherit the family business.

My grandmother revealed this clause to me on the night of the celebrations when the deal was signed, just after everyone had left, she told me that the deal between the Singhania's and Oberoi's had already been worked out and it was in my best interest that I should obey her and agree to it.

Also, because their family were billionaires themselves, and it would help both the empires mutually grow and the final reason she gave was that I knew Abhay earlier and I had a bond with him when I was a child and he wasn't a complete stranger (what she didn't understand and I couldn't tell her was that people change over a period of time and Abhay was not the same sweet boy that I knew, he was a playboy, womaniser and a flirt now who kept trying to touch me and I didn't feel entirely comfortable with him, as I did in the short time I spent with Reyansh.) But there was no other choice now and I had to agree to her demands and Hence, that's why I agreed to a speedy wedding, but it was purely a marriage of convenience, a business deal.

Reyansh announced that he needed to start analysing and reviewing the security of the mansion so that he could upgrade it with his advanced technology, and my grandmother gave him full access to the house.

He said, "Since Kyra was the one who was attacked, I will analyse the situation in her room first"! and then he started heading towards my room as though he had been here before and knew the directions to my room, which was on the 2nd floor of this ginormous mansion.

I was shocked at this and started chasing after him to stop him, because my room wasn't exactly clean, I had made a mess of it this morning searching for my favourite Lingerie set (it gave me confidence when I wore it under my business suits) and I had thrown all the others across my room in search for it.

I liked organising and cleaning my own room, it felt therapeutic and calming after a long stressful day in the office, therefore the staff knew not to enter my room and clean unless told otherwise, I was not prepared for Reyansh to see all my sexy, scandalous and revealing Bra's, Thong's, silk nightwear and, etc.

I ran after him to catch up and stop him and called out his name many times, but he was like a man on a mission and he did not stop and very quickly he reached my room and by the time I caught up to him he was standing at the threshold of my room looking at the dozen's of pair's of sexy lingerie spread out all over my room.

I was mortified, but when I saw his face I became perplexed because it looked like he was slightly blushing and looking turned on, maybe? And then he quickly controlled his expression and had a neutral look on his face.

At that moment before I could say anything, Abhay also entered the room and wolfishly whistled looking at all the lingerie, he then hugged me and put his hands on my lower back (almost resting on my ass) he then loudly commented that he was going to enjoy looking at me wearing all of this for him, very soon.

Reyansh's face took on a murderous look and he was glaring at me and Abhay hugging, just when it looked like he may physically pull Abhay off of me, Abhay's phone rang and he said that it was an urgent call and he left the room.

As soon as Abhay left, Reyansh caught my waist and pushed me against the bedroom door, which closed with a loud bang, he said, "Why do you keep looking at me when Abhay is touching you? Do you enjoy the attention of many men?
Answer me, now!!!

I was surprised at Reyansh's outburst he always seemed calm and composed and with him trapping me like this between his muscular physique and hard wooden door, I couldn't concentrate and one of his hands was near my face and the other hand tightly held on to my waist, I could feel the heat coming off from his body and seeping into mine.

His question's affected me and I gathered my wits and sarcastically retorted with, "Why does my Fiancé touching me, bother you? Are you Jealous Reyansh? Are you scared of Abhay, is that why you waited for him to leave the room before you pounced on me?

He gritted his teeth and pressed his body harder against mine and it further pushed me be back against the door and he said, "I would tread lightly if I were you Princess, No one talks to me like that and gets away with it! You would not be able to handle the consequences of your behaviour. Also, an apex predator fears no one, you do not even know what I'm capable of darling. I always get what I want by any means necessary and unfortunately for you, I want YOU and you are mine already, do you think me saving you that day from those goons was a coincidence, I was already keeping track of you from a long time and that's why I was able to save you so quickly, because YOU ARE MINE, and I protect and preserve my things. Consider your engagement to Abhay Cancelled its just a temporary arrangement, because I am going to marry you before this year end and you are going to be 'MY WIFE' and that's a guarantee." I have complete access to the Oberoi's now, you and your deceitful family are mere puppets in my hands now, to do with as I please.

His words sent a chill down my spine and I was speechless, because the guarantee, sureness and confidence with which he said those things almost made me believe it and suddenly I got a premonition that what he said was gonna happen, it was an eerie sensation and it freaked me out.

Reyansh then got off me, moved me from against the door, opened it and walked out, leaving me in a stupor.

Just like that, we transitioned from Acquaintance's to Rival's.
