Veer’s POV
Nadia’s silence left apang in my heart. I know she still loves Sidd, even though she is trying to hideit, but I’m also falling deeply for her. I know she is not someone to be tamedeasily, and I can’t let that thickhead called Sidd take her away from me. Iglanced at her, she wore the most beautiful and blushing smile I have everseen. Something is going on, she must be planning on how to get back to Sidd. Itried to compose myself.“All right, Veer. I willsee you tomorrow,” she said, opening the car door after I parked at her usualdropping spot.“Sure, take care ofyourself,” I cautioned and moved off. But not heading home yet. I took anotherdirection where she won’t be able to see me and I stepped down from the car. Iwish to know her home today. I saw her trekking a few distance and I trailedher, hiding behind cars and pretending to be standing next to some people,taking my eyes away from her when sVeer’s POVI don’t know if Nadia wasmad at me too or not. I had to leave based on Hema’s order. She hasn’t arrivedin the studio yet and she isn’t taking my calls. I just hope she is doubting mytrustworthiness now. I promised not to pry on her privacy. Or should I lie I went to see Hema and then coincidentally saw her. I stood patiently beside mycar, looking around for her. Finally, she showed up, taking each step withelegance. She was gracefully dressed in an all-white short gown with asparkling gold belt wrapping her waist, showing her flawless legs. Her hair wasleft to fall in perfect waves over her shoulders, bouncing with each movement.I couldn’t take my eyes off her as she was dressed to kill this morning. Sheflipped her hair aside and my stomach churned, wishing to get down with her. Icouldn’t suppress the heat of desire burning through my veins right now. Itried to compose myself as she moved close. Unfortunately, she
Sidd’s POVI needed to find a way to get closer to Nadia. Acting with Veer is taking her far away from me. I went to Mr Baldev’s office. As usual, he was stuck in front of a pile of documents. After the exchange of pleasantries, we both sat down to chat.“So what brought you to my office, Sidd,” he asked. “I want to ask you a favor,” I said. He sat up and adjusted his tie.“What is it, Sidd?” “Can you arrange a resort for the actors to go for a one-week vacation to the Whispering Palms Beach Resort?” I requested.“What do you mean, Sidd?” he asked.“I want you to announce to the present casting members to go on a group vacation to the Whispering Palms Beach Resort,” I clarified.“Why if I may ask?” “Bill on me, director. Just do it. Besides, it has been a long we all went out together, don’t you think so? All work and no play make actors dull and bored,” I said and he smiled.“If that’s what you want, no problem. I will arrange for everyth
Nadia’s POVI headed to my room withVeer. He insisted on helping me settle down and know if I liked the room or notbefore going into his. We entered my room and I gasped, feeling the warmth ofluxury wash down on me. It contained a large double bed, and a three-seater couchsat right before the window. Blackout curtains hung magnificently by the sideof the glassy door and windows. It also has a desk and chair, a mini coffeetable with a beautiful flower, planted in a glassy watered jar. The bathroomdoor was opened and I could see the sparkling white WC and the rainfallshowerhead hanging down the wall with hair dryers. Wow! I was thrilled.Returning my eyes to the bedroom, I moved closer to the large glassy door withopened curtains. The view it provides is breathtaking. There were two chairsoutside for relaxation on the mini porch. It clearly shows the colorfulflowers, hanging on their arched support.“Do you like it?” V
Nadia’s POV“Hey!” Veer waved hishand, beaming all smiles. He was dressed in a black t-shirt with ripped silverjean pants with his left hand shoved into his pocket. He was unusually puttingon a baseball cap.“Hi,” I responded,avoiding his eyes. He just looked charming tonight as the light from the fieryyellow bulbs illuminated his fair, glowing skin. His abs were visibleunder the tight shirt that seemed to be ripping off with stunning muscles.“Shall we?” he uttered after a minute of silence and I nodded. He took hold ofmy hand and we headed out. Every time he holds me, I feel my childish parttaking over. He makes me feel like a baby once again. I glanced over at him…for the umpteenth time now in one walk. “Anything wrong?” he asked I averted myeyes to look ahead.“I’m sorry,” I apologizedlowly and he squeezed my hand, making me look at him.“You can stare all youwant, Nadia. I don’t mind,” he said.
Nadia’s POV“Who did you choose,Nadia?” Mr Baldev asked me. My heart picked a shortrace before slowing down. I slowly unfolded my paper. Looking between everyone,I revealed the boldly written name of Sidd. I puckered my lips, the clench offear in my heart intensifying.“Who is it?” Veer asked.“I… I picked Sidd,” Idrawled his name and I saw how a smile crept to his face. Veer squeezed my handto calm me down. Ria’s chest heaved up and down in anger as she glared bitterlyat me.“What do you want her todo, Sidd?” Mr Baldev asked. I looked pitifully atSidd. He teased me with a wink. “I want her to walk with me till I decide wereturn,” Sidd said.“No,” Ria snapped,hitting her hand on the table. “No one is stepping away from here. The game issupposed to take place here and end here. Do you understand, Sidd?”“Calm down, Ria. The gamedidn’t lay out any restrictions. As far as I am concerned,
Nadia’s POVI opened my eyes to theshaft of the sun pouring on my face. I felt a sharp pain around my abdomen. Igrunted, running my hand over my belly.“Nadia?” I heard Veer’svoice and turning my head, I met eyes with him. Did he sleep here over thenight? I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. “How do you feel now?” he asked.Without a reply, I tried supporting myself to sit up. He quickly held my hand,helping me to sit up.“Thank you,” Iappreciated.“Is anywhere hurting younow?” he asked in a low tone, making concern and fear apparent in his tone andfacial expression.“Just a slight pain in myabdomen, but I will be fine,” I assured him.“Of course. You would befine,” he said, squeezing my hand. “I was scared, you know? I thought somethingbad was going to happen to you. Why did you take the blow for me?”“I don’t want to be thereason for you getting hit again, Veer.”“Does it matter? Look a
Nadia’s POVVeer had to go see thedirector. After leaving, I composed myself, applied light makeup to hide mypale face, and stepped out to receive fresh air. I was heading to the swimmingpoolside to chill. Scrolling through my phone while walking, I bumped intosomeone. I lifted my gaze to meet Ria’s. She had an evil grin on her face.“Sorry,” I apologized. Nomatter our differences, I apologize when I’m wrong.“It seems what you sawearlier has made you blind, isn’t it?” she sneered.“What did I see thatcould be so taunting?” I asked. She narrowed her eyes to mine. “I know youwere behind that note just to make me feel jealous. But what’s your gain inthat when Sidd is just all over me, chasing me like ants to sugar? I dare youto have Sidd in your clutch again so he would stop running after me,” Iretorted.“You are such a witch,you little slut. I despise you so much and I am going to deal with you in a way
Sidd’s POVSeeing Nadia leave with that dickhead made me crazy. I trampled to Mr Baldev’s room.Bang!I hit my fist against the door. On a second attempt, he opened the door and I walked past him inside.“What’s wrong, Sidd?” he asked, facing me.“I am leaving this place today,” I declared and his forehead creased with confusion.“Why? We just got here yesterday,” he blunted.“I know. You all can continue to stay till the one week is over. I have to return home. I came to say goodbye,” I told him and headed out.“Okay then, see you,” he bade and I shut the door.*****I pulled out my suitcase and headed to my car. Ria was shouting my name behind me. I ignored her and put my suitcase in the back seat.“Where are you going, Sidd?” she queried, catching up with me before I even entered the car.“I’m leaving,” I declared and opened the door to the driver’s seat.“How can you leave without me?” she asked in a low tone.“Look here, R
