Aarvi took a shower and came back to her room wearing pant and top. She combed her hair and she looked at her eyes in the mirror.

HAZEL..... A voice echoed in her eyes and she took a step back and looked around.

O god, I will surely get crazy if I will keep on thinking about him. Aarvi, you need to stop it thinking about everything happened yesterday. Shall I tell everyone about it? No.... It's just a waste of time to even think about him. I can't let my family worry because of him. Aarvi said and then she sat on the bed and started reading the book.

After sometime, someone knocked the door and Aarvi opened the door. It was a house maid

Your parcel arrived. Maid said

My parcel, but haven't ordered anything. Aarvi said

But, they said it is for Aarvi Rathod. Maid said

Where is it? Aarvi asked and then a male servant came there with a large black box. He kept it in Aarvi's room.

Your name is written on this box mam. Servant said

Okay, I will see it, you both can go. Aarvi said and they both left. Then she looked at the box

What is this? I didn't ordered this much of anything. Aarvi said and the opened the box and her eyes widen in surprise

The box was full of several books.

She then took out some of the books one by one. It was all fictional novels that she usually buys and loves to read. She then saw a note on the side of the box.

"A small gift from someone who loves you the most." Aarvi read the note and then she looked at those books again.

Who can send me this? These are the books that I saw that day in the bookstore and wanted to buy, but how can someone exactly gift me the same books. It can be Yash.... He knows that I love these books. He is my Boyfriend, and he loves me the most. Aarvi said and smiled.

She checked and counted the books and was again shocked while counting them. There were total 50 novels.

It contains all the novels I wanted, how can he love me so much. Maybe, Siya told him. But that's a huge amount, he literally gifted me 50 books??? Aarvi said and blushed and then started placing them one by one in her shelf as the space was less inthe shelf, she could adjust only 30 books in the shelf. She kept the rest of 20 books on her study table and arranged them properly. As she looked at the empty box, she found another note there.

"I hope this box contained all the books you looked, read or even touched that day in the bookstore. Let me know if I missed any of them. Happy reading. Aarvi smiled as she reads it.

Thankyou Yash. She smiled and said.

She then placed the box in the corner and looked at her book shelf and study table and she was really happy. She then get back to the bed and started reading again.

Darshil stood alone in the dimly lit room, the faint glow of a single lamp casting long shadows across his chiseled features. His cold, calculating eyes surveyed the scene before him - a group of his men, heads bowed in submission as they awaited his next command. The air was heavy with the scent of smoke and stale whisky, a tangible reminder of the power he held over those who dared to defy him.

Is the meeting  fixed? Darshil said as she arrived

Yes, he is waiting for you downstairs. Shall I call him here? Shiv asked

Darshil shaked his head.

I'll go meet him. Darshil said and walked out of the room, Shiv walked by his side and two bodyguards followed them.

He walked in another meeting room and saw Yash waiting for him there.

Darshil walked towards him and took a seat across him. He smiled at Yash and offers him a drink.

Yash, right? Darshil said

Yes..... And you are? Yash asked

Darshil Rajvanshi. Well, nice to meet you, I have a proposition for you. Darshil said

What is it? Yash asked

I am willing to give you a lot of money, if you agree to do something for me. Darshil said

What can I do? Yash asked with a smile

You have to sleep with a girl, I will choose for you. Darshil said

What!! But I already have a girlfriend. Yash said

Darshil's eyes narrow, and he looks at him coldly

I know...... that's why I'm offering you money to sleep with another girl. I want you to cheat on her. Darshil said

But why? Yash asked

That's none of your buisness. Focus on money and the offer I am giving to you. Darshil said

Yash was in a thought for some moments.

Well, how much are you going to pay? Yash asked

I am willing to give you $1,00,000, if you do so it. You look educated so calculate it in Rupees. Think about it, she's not here right now, and she'll never know about it. Just a quick and simple one-time thing, and you get a lot of money. Darshil said

Yash's eyes widen in shock

$100,000????? You are serious? Yash said in shock

Darshil's eyes narrow, and he nods $100,000. You could do anything you want with that money. You could buy a new car, a new house, anything. Just one night...... that's all I'm asking for. Darshil said

But that's a lot of money. Yash said

I know, but not for me and I am still willing to pay it. Think about it. It's just one night, and you can have anything you want. Just say yes and we'll make the arrangement right now. Darshil said

I am ready. I will get both money and a girl for a night. Only a fool would refuse such an offer. Yash said with a big smile

Darshil smirks. Good...... now, let's talk about the details. How about you meet me at this hotel room tonight at 8 pm? That should give you enough time to prepare. I'll have everything set up for you when you get there. I'll leave you with one more thing to think about. Darshil said

I will be there at sharp 8 pm. Yash said looking at his watch in excitement

That's good to hear...... just one last thing. I want you to keep this a secret. No one else can know about this, not even your girlfriend. Is that understood? Darshil said

Why will I say anything to her.? Don't worry, it's our secret. Yash said

Good. I will see you tonight at 8, don't be late. Darshil said and walked out of there.

Yash danced out of joy.

Shiv was walking with Darshil.

Are you sure this is okay? Shiv asked

This is best. Darshil said amd walked sat in his car, shiv sat on the passanger seat. They both reached the office in sometime.

It was 8 at night when Darshil was waiting for Yash in the hotel room, and he had everything set up just the way he wanted. The room was decorated with candles and roses, and there was a bed with red silk sheets. Damon was standing in the corner, waiting for Yash to arrive.

Yash arrived and Darshil opened the door.

Welcome...... come in. I have everything set up for you. Darshil said

I can see that, but where is the girl? Yash asked

She's in the bathroom getting ready. Just take a seat and Shiv will bring her in. Darshil said

Then a girl emerges from the washroom in a hot red dress and Yash was shocked to see her.

She is Aarvi's best friend Riya. Yash said

I know but I don't care who she is...... she's just a girl, and she'll do whatever you want. Just make sure you do your part, okay? I want this to go smoothly. Darshil said

Yeah okay. Yash said with a smile and then Darshil and Shiv walked out of the room.

The camera was set up in the corner of the room, and it was recording everything that was happening. It was a hidden camera, and the footage would be used as evidence against Yash if he refused to go through with the plan. Darshil was monitoring the footage from outside the room, and he was waiting to see how the plan would unfold.

Darshil was watching the footage from the hidden camera, and he was amazed at how well the plan was going. He was also relieved that Yash was going through with the plan and not backing out. Darshil was hoping that the footage would be enough to convince Aarvi that her boyfriend was using her.

Next morning Darshil gave the payment to Yash and Riya and asked them to leave.

It was afternoon time when Darshil reached Aarvi's college and was waiting for her to come out.

As soon as she arrived, Darshil's eyes lit up. He came out of the car and walked towards her.

Hello my Hazel. Darshil said and Aarvi looked at him

You??? What are you doing here? Aarvi asked

I have come here to see you. Darshil said

Don't create a scene here, just go. Aarvi said

I won't. I promised you that I will give you the proof to you about your boyfriend. It's ready, shall we go to see the proof? Darshil said

W..... What? Proof? Aarvi asked

Yes Hazel, let's go now. Come sit in the car. Darshil said

I am not coming with you. I don't want to see anything. Aarvi said and walked a step forward when Darshil grabbed her wrist

Sit in the car I said. Darshil said

I am not coming with you. Let me go, don't create a scene here. Aarvi said

Darshil pulled her close and Aarvi looked into his eyes

"Khud se baithogi ya god me uthakr le chalu? Tamasha waise hi ban jayega. Darshil said looking at Aarvi's eyes which looked fearfully. Then Aarvi walked towards the car and open the gate of backseat. Darshil then opened the gate of passanger seat and looked at Aarvi.

Sit here, I am not a driver. Darshil said and then Aarvi closed the door of back seat and sat on the passanger seat. Darshil closed the gate and then sat on the driving seat and started driving.

Where are we going? Aarvi asked

My office, I have a surprise for you. Darshil said

But you said you are taking me to show the proof. Aarvi said

You will be surprised to see the proof. Darshil said

After sometime, they reached their destination. Darshil opened the door for Aarvi and then she cane out of the car. After that, Darshil walked in the office and Aarvi was walking beside him. They both went to their cabin where Shiv was already present.

You can go now Shiv. I'll take care of the rest.

Darshil said then Shiv walked out of the cabin.

Where is the proof? Aarvi asked

Darshil gestures to the computer screen where some of Yash with Riya's pictures of love making was there.

Just watch this for a minute...... I think it will answer all of your questions. Darshil said

Aarvi's eyes widen in shock after looking at the pictures.

Darshil's eyes narrow, and he watches her carefully. He can see the shock on her face and he can tell that she is starting to understand the truth. He's hoping that this will finally make her see the light and realize that her boyfriend was using her the whole time.

No.... This can't be true. This is edited right? Aarvi said as tears rolled down her cheeks

This is true, I have recorded it myself last night. This is just pictures, I have the complete footage. And trust me, he is not that good at bed. He won't be able to keep you happy and satisfied, neither in life nor on bed. Darshil said with a smirk on his face

Aarvi looked at him in anger for a moment.

Let me make this clear to you. Both your boyfriend and your bestie has cheated on you. Darshil said

How can Riya do this to me? And Yash? Aarvi said and sat on the couch thinking about it.

Then on Darshil's order, Shiv sent Yash and Riya. As Aarvi looked at both of them in anger and pain.

Yash tell me, this is fake right? Aarvi asked but both of them had no answer

This is real Aarvi, I liked Yash even before you did. Riya said and Aarvi was shocked upon listening to this

But Yash, you sent gift to me yesterday..... You loved me. Aarvi said

I didn't sent any gift to you. Aarvi, I liked you but you never allowed me to even kiss you. What do you think, I should have done? Yash said in a loud voice

Watch your tone. Darshil said coldly

Why did you two did this to me? Aarvi yelled in this anger

Aarvi, we were trapped. This man payed us to do this. Yash said amd Aarvi looked at Darshil in anger.

Yes I did. But I didn't forced them, it was their choice to take or reject the money. But both of them agreed at once. Money is more important to them than your trust. Darshil said

I can't beleive this...... Aarvi said

Get out of my life you two. I hate you Yash and Riya. Aarvi said

Get out now. Darshil said and then both of them walked out of the cabin.

I hate that bastard. Aarvi said as tears fell down her cheeks.

Hazel.... Darshil said and walked to Aarvi and wiped her tears with his thumb and Aarvi looked at him in teary eyes

Stay away from me. I hate you too. Aarvi said and pushed him back

I know you're hurt right now, but you have to listen to me. But I had no choice, I have to prove you that your boyfriend was using you, and I want to help you. Darshil said

Aarvi looked at him as her heart was filled with anger

You were the one who helped me to get into this situation. Aarvi said

Darshil stares deeply into her eyes, and his voice is soft and intense

I know you're upset right now...... but I need you to believe me. I did all of this because I love you. Darshil said

And I hate you. Aarvi said and turned back to walk but Darshil grabbed her arm. His grip tightens around her arm

You don't hate me...... you're just angry right now. You're just hurt because I broke your heart, but I did it because I love you. Darshil said and Aarvi tried to push him but can't.

Darshil's grip tightens on her arm

Stop trying to push me away...... I'm not going to let you go until you listen to me. Darshil said

Aarvi looked into his eyes which was so magnetic.

Is it necessary that I can fall for you because of this? Aarvi asked

Maybe not now but someday for sure. Darshil said

I will never love you. You will never be able to make me yours. Aarvi said

Darshil smirks.

Darshil's stares at her with a cold, intense expression.

You may think that now, but I'm not going to give up on you. I'm going to make you see that I'm the one who loves you and understands you. I'm not like those other guys who just want to use you. I am just willing to love you and protect you. Darshil said and Aarvi looked away

Darshil's grip tightens on her arm, and he pulls her close.

Look at me...... look at me. Darshil said, so Aarvi looked at him and her eyes were still teary.

Darshil stares deeply into her eyes

I know you don't believe me right now, but I'm going to prove it to you. I'm going to make you see that I'm not like those other guys. I'm going to make you see that I'm the one who loves you and cares for you. I want to just marry you and make you mine. Darshil said

And what if I marry someone? Aarvi asked

Don't dare to even think about it. I will make sure that no one else ever touches you. I can make sure that you're always by my side. It doesn't matter if I need to kill someone for that. Darshil said in anger

You are such a ruthless and heartless beast. That's all. Aarvi said

Darshil's grip tightens around her arm You're right...... I am ruthless and heartless. But you don't understand. I love you, and I'll do anything for you. If that means getting rid of anyone who tries to take you away from me, then so be it. Darshil said

Who the hell you are to do all this nonsense? Aarvi said in anger

Darshil stares at her.

I'm someone who will do anything for you. I'm someone who will destroy anyone who stands in my way. I'm someone who will go to the ends of the earth to protect you. That's who I am. Darshil said and Aarvi was completely surprised by his words

You are just a wealthy businessman who is spoiled by money. Aarvi said

Darshil's grip tightens around her arm as he pulls her close.

I'm more than that...... I'm the man who will protect you with his life. I'm the man who will never let anyone else touch you. I'm the man who will always be by your side. And I'm the man who will never let anyone else take you away from me. I am the one who is going to make you mine, whether you like it or not. Darshil said

I want to go, I need some rest after all this. Aarvi said

I can let you go. But only on one condition. Darshil said

What is it? Aarvi asked

You will have to come whenever I will ask you to come. Darshil said

I won't see your face again. Aarvi said

Darshil smirks. I know different ways to make my work done. This is is the easiest way for you. Do come, whenever I will call you. Darshil said

And what if I won't? Aarvi asked

Darshil went close to her ears

Then I will kidnap you, Hazel. Darshil whispers in her ears which gives shiver into her spine.

Leave me. Aarvi said and Darshil let goes her hand and then she ran out of the cabin and Darshil smiled
