Chapter 58: "The passcode...",
Karan's place.
Wendy woke up as he saw Karan who was standing outside the car and answering his call. Wendy picked her handbag as she walked out of the car.
"You are up...?", He saw her as he hung up the phone.
"hmm...let me take the luggage.", She said as she walked towards the car.
"Luggage is already taken upstairs by Aunty...let's go up.", Karan said as he waited till she walked towards him then started walking towards the elevator.
Wendy was hesitant for a moment...as if she was struggling with something.
"You...why didn't you wake me up...?", She choose to ask anyway.
"Seeing that I can get some peace...won't I be an idiot to let go of my choice.", He said as he teased her.
'This idiot...I should have known his narcissism, what was I thinking...?', She thought as angrily entered the elevator.
The elevator took them to the penthouse. Karan's apartment was on the last floor and he had 2 floors combined so he could have his own privacy. This was also a building that belonged to one of the subsidiaries of MEDIA SCORE.
Wendy gulped down saliva as she saw the exterior of the apartment. Just then Karan touched the lock as the numbers appeared...Wendy was busy checking out the view but when she heard the beep sound she unconsciously turned her head...Karan typed 0109 as the door unlocked.
Seeing this Wendy couldn't help but stare at the person...
'Pervert.', She thought as she walked in.
"The passcode...", When Karan wanted to say her the number.
"I saw it...", She cut him off immediately.
"Then you must understand the meaning too, right?", He asked as he wanted to tease her.
"I don't understand what you are trying to say.", She acted as if she's clueless.
"Then I can help you remember...", When he tried to walk towards her.
"I know...it's that hotel room door number.", She glared at him.
Karan's heart softened as he stared at her...he walked towards her he let her sit on the sofa...as he kneeled in front of her.
Wendy was startled by his sudden body language as she stared at him in confusion.
"That night...I know what you've gone through, I know no matter what price I pay I won't be able, to sum up for all the pain you've carried these few years...But believe me, If I have the least bit of consciousness remained I wouldn't have forced you that way...the drug took over me and I promise I wasn't in a position to deal with the things on my mind.", He stared at her who held her tears in her eyes as she was afraid to show weaker side in front of him.
"...Anvi is my sister, I'm glad and thank full to god that you were there for each other in your worst, best, sorrow, and laughter. I don't hope for more...just give me a chance and try to know me...all these years that night was my first and I've never let a woman near me...because if I have a chance again...I would have rather fall in love with you first than to hurt you...", Wendy heard his words are her tears started to fall. He extended his hand as he wiped her tears with one hand as he spoke again.
"Wendy, I'm still stuck at that time, in that room all these years...I still remember what you've gone through...I clearly remember how much I've hurt you...I'm okay even if you want to beat me to death, but don't run away from me like you did that night. Do you know that night even if I don't know you...that one made me head over heels for you...? Do you know I've been searching for you all this while...? It's I didn't expect that I would be attracted to you no matter how we meet.", His last words made Wendy confused. Seeing her expression...
"Are you sure a small boutique owner like you can continuously offend the heir of Vastav's and simply walk away like that...?", He stared at her. She couldn't help but blush.
"Then...what...about the woman you've mentioned...?", Wendy questioned in pauses.
"Wendy are you an elementary kid...?didn't I say you it was you all along...you are my one and only. Wendy, now I seem to question myself how low your IQ is...!", Karan couldn't help but question her IQ.
"The son of you and you why are you so bothered about my IQ...no wonder he couldn't get any girlfriend...he inherited his tongue from you.", She pouted as she heard his words.
'Haha...what am I going to do with you...?', He thought to wonder as he stared at her.
"Alright stand up...your knees must be hurting...But give me some time.", Wendy said as she asked him to stand up.
"Take your time...we have all the time on the earth. That is your bedroom and I will be staying upstairs, Go and have some rest...we have to go to the company a bit early.
Abroad.
"Boss do you think Chairman will let her live if he knows she's alive...?", His assistant couldn't but ask.
"Eric...do you know all these years I've not only learned his techniques but also his stubbornness.", The man spoke.
"He's still your grandpa...", Eric spoke.
"I said her...I will find her, I am 25 now...not that little boy who couldn't do anything as I helplessly said when she was taken to death bed...luck was on her side as her god helped her that night.", The man spoke.
"So...Boss are you saying you will fight against chairman...?", Eric couldn't help but shiver.
"No...I rather help him eliminate the old couple that's hiding and get him what he wants.", The man spoke with all mysteriousness.
"But boss...", Eric was to say something.
"As long as I ask...he will do as I want...but do you know what I am interested more about now...? The reason why Anan and Karan choose to disclose their faces to the public.", He said his anger was reflected in his voice.
"Boss...due to the importance of the event, maybe we are overthinking...",
"He didn't arrive at the prestigious award ceremony to receive the award for young businessman. Do you think this kind of man would care about the public...? and once when they have photographed abroad I heard the paparazzi's career was ruined and there were no traces of him again...do you think these people are just caring about a mere event...? Did you see their body language...? All they did was facing the reporters...the director had to answer all the questions. Do you know what this means...?", The man asked as his smile carried an evil presence.
"....I'm not sure boss.", Eric replied. He didn't know there was so much beyond the screen.
"He's challenging someone...he's ready to face every single one of his enemy's he's showing himself to say them not to hide but face him if they have guts.", The man's handsome face showed an amusing expression.
"Then Boss...are we...", Mike was covered in sweat now.
"It's not the time...I still have to find my little bride and deal with the matters here...let's go to the meeting.", He said as he walked out of the room.
