"What?" His response caused my jaw to slump.
"Ahan.
Don't mistakenly assume it's a marriage proposal." Darsh paused before picking up the wine once again.
"It's a deal.
A contract that will protect both of our lives from this catastrophe." He slurped the wine after finishing his statement.
"How?" I demanded after a few moments of consideration.
"Well, I'm a well-known and prosperous businessman."
"Along with respect, friends, and fortune, I've acquired a slew of adversaries who ardently want me to perish. They plotted this plan to destroy me."
The corner of my eyes stung again. "But, why me?"
"They chose a random girl from the staff to carry out the plan because getting a girl from outside would have been far riskier.
You were simply at the wrong place at the wrong time. That's why you're bearing the burden of the consequences." Darsh clarified, which infuriated me.
They just randomly ruined my life?
"H-how selfish..How could they--" I uttered with my trembling voice.
"I agree.
And I am sorry to let you know but the footage was gone too." Darsh informed and then I recollected that we had the footage of me getting kidnapped.
"What?"restrain
"Yes. Someone had already destroyed all of the recordings for today before I could obtain them as proof." He clarified with a disappointed grimace.
"You're kidding. Right?
It's not true, right?" I queried, attempting to restrain my tears. It was the last piece of evidence I needed to prove my character!
"Unfortunately, It's true."
My shoulders sagged with despair. I wasn't sure whether life had suddenly decided to play a cruel joke on me. But then I experienced a sudden explosion of emotions.
"How could it have been deleted before you even got your hands on it? Huh?
Or did you want to watch me suffer after purposefully erasing all the evidence that proves my innocence?" My words originated from a place of hatred and rage. I couldn't help but blame Darsh for everything as his enemies had done it to me.
"Do you believe it isn't having any impact on me?" Darsh slammed the wine glass back onto the table and scowled at me.
"No! You're wealthy, after all! People are blind to your flaws!" I responded as the teardrops skidded down my cheeks.
"Khushi, to which world do you belong? Fairytale?
Since the news surfaced, all of my stock prices have collapsed! My reputation is about to be shattered!
My empire, which I have built by sacrificing everything, is about to crumble! And you claim I'm wealthy, so it doesn't bother me?"
"And you say it doesn't bother me because I'm rich?" Infuriated, Darsh took a deep breath and averted his sight.
"Miss Acharya, do you know your manager accused you of being a partner in crime with those kidnappers and claimed it was an act in front of the camera after you left." Uncle Hemant spoke up.
"What?" My eyes broadened in astonishment.
"Yes. He even thought of calling the cops on you.
Only if Master Darsh hadn't spoken to him and hadn't stopped him from calling the police, you have been arrested by now, dealing with a fake accusation without having any proof." He included, causing me to grow puzzled.
