Chapter 4 Revengeful Love Begins

• Scarlett PoV:
• Who is he? How can he propose me all of a sudden? Is he mad? I thought.
• I saw Alvin only twice, and we didn't know anything about each other. I didn't believe in love at first sight. To be more precise, I hated the word "Love" and this kind of relationships. I had enough in my life.
• I went to the office in a bad mood with this guy's unexpected proposal.
• "Hi, Scarlett!" My colleague said, smiling at me.
• "Hi, Mehna!" I said without any expression on my face.
• "You look so tense. Is everything alright with you?" Mehna asked me.
• I explained everything to her about Alvin's proposal.
• "Leave it, darling! Take it easy. This is very common for every beautiful girl. It's obvious that most of the guys are always behind the good-looking girls," Mehna said as if it was a minimal issue.
• "My life taught me enough, Mehna. I can't trust anyone," I said, closing my eyes to forget those memories which haunt me forever.
• Tears formed freshly in my eyes, but I stopped them flowing as I don't want to empower my past, to ruin the happiness of my present. Worrying about the same issue repeatedly do no good to anyone, but drains our power to design our lives beautifully. I opened my eyes slowly deciding to focus on the present.
• "That's okay. Forget it," Mehna said, and I smiled.
• The manager called me to report in his cabin, and I went to meet him.
• "Good morning, sir!" I said.
• "Good morning, Scarlett! Actually, we are in a problem. Due to a technical error, the salaries of our employees were not yet credited to their accounts. But, at any cost, we must disburse the salaries to the employees today, as the management doesn't like to delay the salaries. Scarlett, I want you to withdraw those fifteen lakhs from the bank. Take this cheque," the manager said, giving me a cheque for fifteen lakhs.
• "Sure, sir," I said.
• I went to the bank and withdrew the money. I came out of the bank. I tried to get an auto, but someone grabbed the bag from my hands leaving me in shock. I didn't understand what to do. Fifteen lakhs is a massive amount for me to repay. I didn't know what should I do.
• I went to the office and said the same to the manager.
• "Don't act smart, Scarlett. Tell me where is the money?" Manager asked me.
• "Sir, I really don't know anything. Someone theft the money bag from me," I tried to tell the truth.
• "Shut up! I will call the police, and they will make you confess the truth," Manager said and called the police.
• The police arrived, and they were about to arrest me.
• "Wait!" I heard someone saying.
• I didn't know who it was, my savior or slayer. I turned towards that direction. It was Alvin.
• Why is he here? What does he want? I got confused.
• "Mr. SI, I am Alvin, heir of the Bharadhwaj companies. May I know what's happening here?"
• "Sir, this Scarlett had stolen the fifteen lakhs. We were here to arrest her for making her return the money," the SI said.
• Alvin looked at me, and I didn't speak anything.
• "Manager, Scarlett is my friend. I know her well. She would never do such things. I will give you the cheque for fifteen lakhs. Leave her," Alvin said to the manager handing over a cheque to him.
• "Mr. SI, please collect the details from Scarlett. Inquiry the case to find out the thief," Alvin said to the SI.
• Alvin caught my hand and dragged me out of the office without my permission.
• "Leave me!" I yelled at him.
• Alvin left his hold on my hand.
• "I had helped you one more time. You need to thank me for that. Why are you shouting at me?" Alvin said with a stupid smile on his face.
• I slapped him. Alvin shocked at my act. He looked at me clenching his fist. I noticed his eyes fuming with anger.
• "What the hell with you? Are you insane? How dare you to raise your hand at me?" Alvin shouted at me.
• "Shut up! I know it is you who planned all this against me. I rejected your proposal, and you did this to make me fall for you," I said.
• Alvin laughed at me. I didn't understand the reason behind his laughter.
• "I think you watch movies a lot. First, stop watching them. I didn't plan anything. I came to the nearby hotel for a meeting. I saw you going into your office and came to meet you. I think I came at the right time. How could I bear if my angel was arrested? I can't see the tears in your eyes. I love you. Anyhow, I will meet you again after finding the thief. Bye, take care," Alvin said and went off in his car.
• I reached my room submitting the resignation letter as I couldn't work there anymore. I lay down on the bed crying remembering the incident where the police tried to arrest me. Alvin flashed in my mind.
• Did I do wrong with slapping Alvin? I had no proof to accuse him of planning all this against me. I should have controlled my anger at him. If he is not the person who trapped me, then I would be at fault of hurting and insulting him unnecessarily.
• I felt guilty for my actions. I wanted to apologize to Alvin, but I didn't know anything about him. I recalled Alvin saying he is the heir of Bharadwaj Group of Industries. I decided to meet him in his company to say sorry to him.
• Alvin:
• I reached my mansion. The scene where Scarlett slapped me replayed in my mind.
• How dare she is? Scarlett, I would never leave you until I make your life a living hell.
• My friends gathered in my home, knowing that Scarlett had slapped me. I gritted my teeth, holding a glass of wine in my right hand. My eyes were red filled with anger at Scarlett. I decided to make her beg me for forgiveness soon.
• "Finally, Scarlett slapped you too. Very funny, man! I told you, right? She is a tough girl to make her fall for you. Accept that you lost the bet," Alex said.
• "I will not leave that girl. She should pay for her stupid act. I can't be at peace until I ruin her life," I said clenching my left fist.
• "Is this really your trap, Alvin?" My friend, Charles asked me.
• "No! I don't know anything, Adi. I really went there just to meet her. I didn't plan anything. What will I get if I put the blame on her saying she is a thief? That girl overthinks and assumes everything by herself," I said.
• "It is my plan," Alex said with a grin on his face.
• "What?" I asked, shocked.
• "I did it to help you in winning the bet," Alex said.
• I slapped Alex.
• "Idiot! You spoiled everything with your foolish plan," I scolded Alex.
• "Whatever, it is the Scarlett's biggest mistake to raise her hand at me without my fault. She is just a low-class girl. I will reduce her proud. Just wait and watch my game of love. I will make her beg before me for forgiveness. The game of love starts now, where I will defeat Scarlett without giving her a chance of scoring at least a single shot. She is finished in my hands," I smirked sketching a plan against Scarlett.
• Until then, I didn't plan anything to make her love me, but then I decided to do anything to win the bet.
• "She just slapped me on my cheek, but I will hit on her life. She will face the worst. I won't leave her unless my revenge gets fulfilled," I said.
• "Take the drink, man," Alex said.
• I took the wine glass and had broken it in my hand by clutching it remembering Scarlett.
• "Hey Alvin! What happened to you?" Charles said.
• Alex and Charles tried to tie bandage to my hand, but I refused it.
• "I will make this blood to be shed from the eyes of Scarlett, in the form of tears. Till now no one dared to raise a hand against me. But today she did. Now no one can save her from me," I said, imagining the scene where Scarlett cries throughout her life.
