IAL Chapter 13: The Ultimatum

I'm back guys and I will be updating In Another Life everyday except the weekends. Enjoy :)


Chapter 13: The Ultimatum

 

Before NK could react, Arnav grabbed Khushi by the arm and dragged her out onto the terrace. He made sure to lock the door so NK couldn’t follow them.

 

“What is this, Arnavji?” asked Khushi as she struggled to get herself out of his grip.

 

Why does he have to hold me so hard? I always end up with bruises I can’t explain. Not that anyone asks, they always think that it’s just me being clumsy.

 

“This is an ultimatum.” He said.

 

“What’s an ulti-”

 

“God, you really are stupid aren’t you? Fine, then I’ll say it in words you will understand. You marry me tonight after your sister’s wedding or else I break up her wedding.” He spat out.

 

A small frown appeared on Khushi’s face. “Why would you do that?” She asked with quivering lips.

 

“Because you’re so darn eager to marry a rich man,” He brought her very close to his face, “and I’m the richest man around.”

 

Khushi’s mouth fell open. “Arnavji, you misunderstood everything.”

 

“I don’t think I did Khushi. And nothing you say or do will make me change my mind.”

 

“What about something I say or do?”

 

They turn around to find NK standing a few feet away from them. It seems he finally managed to go around and get to them.
