"Do not be stubborn, Priyanka" "What do you say about my offer?" "For my brother's health, I will marry…" "Not so fast," a wicked smile appeared on his face. He placed his lips, right before her ears and said "nothing goes for free, here. I have my terms and conditions."

Priyanka's eyes widened as her heart raced faster. She did not like what he was saying or doing. He was scaring her and it was no longer funny again.
Five years ago, her father died in a fatal accident. She was going to school while he was going to work and they ended up in a big mess. Although she survived it, he did not and she wished it was her instead.
Life would not have been hard for them if he were alive. During lifespan, he tried his best to make things comfortable for them.
Every changed for the worse after.
Death dealt her the biggest blow in life and she was going to live with it for the rest of her days on Earth.
"Do you remember anything? Our first accident" Karan shook her out of her reverie.
"I don't like accidents. They reminded me of my dad."
"Oh."
He did not care to say something nice. They drove in silence.
'If I was him, it would be better to go for a heart donation and give my heart to someone useful' she hissed. 'Why will a human being so cold and bitter?'
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a tall building. He opened the door and went out, leaving her inside.
She wondered what man he was. He should have at least told her, they have arrived at their destination. It will be more appropriate, than just leaving without saying a word.
Priyanka angrily opened the door and met him. His hands were almost on the door handle. Was he going to open it?
She pressed her lips. They were going to land her in deep trouble someday. It is better to be patience sometimes.
"Shall we?" He asked.
"Yes."
It was a five stars hotel. The most popular one in the city. She and Zara had discussed this place for a long time. They were planning to come and have fun when they finally make it in life, but he did it already.
The only thing, she would pray now was to have fun, while this bittered man hang around her like a bodyguard.
Yes! A bodyguard was perfect because they are trained not to have fun but to be serious and gallant all the time.
"Master" the men dressed in black suits at the door ran to his side. They seemed so loyal and humble than before. She wondered if his presence changed their expressions.
Instead of talking to them, Karan waved at them in such a way that shameless her. It was more of an *I don't want you close* wave.
'Who did he think he is?' she looked away immediately. Coming with him to this place might have been a bad idea but she was going to have fun and make sure to fill her empty stomach.
The security men opened the door for him. He urged her to go first, while he followed closely behind.
For some reason, Priyanka felt like his eyes were on her butt. She was no longer comfortable in the dress again. This was the first time, she wore something like that. It was hugging her body like rubber.
**
He did not want her to know who he was, so he had to stop the guards from coming closer. Koran should be the one to explain everything to his new lover. After today, he will be free of both of them, if not forever but for a long time.
While entering the hotel, he noticed the dress she wore.
Karan swallowed hard when his eyes fell on her butt. It was round and big. He wondered if it has always been like that!
He hurry and catch up with her. The Lord has decided to tempt him this night but he was not going to fall it because she was going to be his sister-in-law.
They entered the lift together. The red dress made her to look sexy and hot. She was curvy, he just noticed it. If not that she was not his type, they would have gone far in bed now.
The alluring smile that kept appearing and disappearing made him wonder if she liked him or not... It would be a bonus to koran's love story. The two lover birds will finally be together forever.
Outside the elevator, a security man was waiting for them. Karan was surprised to see him since it was Koran who arranged everything and they thought he was in the hotel too.
The security man took them to a room. The lights were off and as soon as they entered, it was turned on. The surprise was meant for Priyanka but he ended up being the most surprised one.
"Wow" Her mouth was wide open in shock. She could not believe what she was seeing. Priyanka turned to him "why do you keep surprising me at the last minute? I was supposed to be angry with you for coming late but I'm so happy to see this. You must have gone through a lot to prepare something like this for me."
His hands clenched in his pants pocket. What has Koran done now? It looked more like he was going to propose to his fiance.
There was a big table with both international and country dishes. There was two champagne in the middle. The room was decorated in white and red designs. What made it look more romantic was the privacy. Now he was going to deal with her alone.
