Chapter 16

Ajay smiled at her and excused himself to pick up a call. "Hmm. Okay. I don't want him anywhere near Diya again. Take care of it.".

The story Ajay told Diya was only half true. It was Karl who saw Diya on his way from the restroom.

Karl had drunk quite a lot by that time so he misunderstood the entire situation. "OMG! Boss, what will you do now? You finally liked someone but that person turned out to be a cheater." he started to sob as soon he saw Ajay.

Just as Ajay was confused by Karl's sudden sobbing, Veer started to laugh. "Ah? What are you saying? Did my sister-in-law cheat on my bro? Oh god, what will my poor bro do now? He's going to stay single forever in this case. Wait!" Veer turned to Ajay "Are you going to die as a virgin?" saying that he started to laugh.

Ajay couldn't hear their drunken nonsense anymore. "What the hell happened?" he asked Karl with a glare. "Uuuu~ I saw an old man going inside a room with sister-in-law in his arms. I could tell that she has poor taste in men just by looking at that guy.".

Ajay didn't waste one more minute after that and went out in search of her. What Karl just said didn't sit right with him. For some reason, he had a bad feeling. First, he barged into the room Diya was in. But he couldn't find her there.

Ajay thought for a while and went straight to the second floor where the bedrooms were. He ran out of the elevator and started to look around. Then he saw him. A suspicious waiter standing outside a particular room; looking around with an anxious face.

"Open the door." The waiter was startled by the sudden appearance of Ajay. "Sorry, sir. I can't open the door without the permission of- ah!" before the waiter could finish his sentence, Ajay pushed him to the wall; strangling him. "Open. The. Door." Ajay released him after seeing him nodding.

The frightened waiter hurriedly opened the door with a spare key he had and sprinted away from there. As he had expected, Ajay saw Diya struggling below a man when he opened the door wide. He felt a sudden rage and shoved that man to the floor.

Karl and Veer, who had followed Ajay, were sobered by the scene they saw. "Bro, stop punching him! He's going to die!" they dragged Ajay from Rowan with great force; trying to stop him. Rowan was already unconscious by that time; his face bleeding.

"We'll deal with him. You should bring sister-in-law to the hospital first. She's unconscious." only then Ajay stopped struggling. He picked up Diya and rushed out of the room.

Diya had finished her breakfast and was scrolling on her phone when Ajay came back. She saw him taking something out of his pocket and giving it to her. "Here, this has my phone number on it. Feel free to call me if you need to. I'll do my best to help.".

"I didn't know you were the type to help strangers without expecting anything in return. But I can't just let you go like this. Lunch is on me. I'll bring you to a nice restaurant after I get discharged this afternoon." Diya accepted the card and placed it in her handbag.
