Love Game With CEO

Chapter 1

Adira's POV

Sometimes what we think is the end turns out to be the beginning of something better or worse. When we think that there is no future, we see the light of hope. I think the saying that everything gets worse before getting better, is true. I never believed that life gives us plenty of choices and it totally depends on how we utilize it for our good.

Something like that happened to me. Three years ago, I lost everything; my family, friends, relations and the most important love. The one whom I thought would be my shield in tough times left me on the very first chance he got. Whom I believed would always have my back, backstabbed me, giving me pain for a lifetime.

I am Adira Dev, aged 28 years and living in New York. Once, I came here with nothing except a will to become the best version of myself. A promise that I will never look back at the past, but as they say, never say never. Here I am returning to Australia and God knows why?

I could have easily said no, but I didn’t and now I am regretting that. Never mind, I can’t do anything now. I am sitting on the plane going back to Australia where my best friend Sanaya is fighting for her life and she needs me.

She is the only person who believed in me when I broke down. She was the one who encouraged me to stand back again for my own self. The moral support which she gave me meant so much to me, so there is no chance that I would reject going there.

I was lost in my thoughts and I didn’t realize it when I dozed off.

“Adira”, I heard him calling me while I was running like a mad woman on the road. Tears were flowing from my eyes but my feet felt like they had their own minds.

“Adira, where are you going babe?”, I heard him, but I increased my speed. But I forgot that he was far stronger than me and suddenly he held my hand. He made me turn to him and said furiously, “I am sorry. I didn’t know you were not there.”

“Really, then, now you know. Just go and punish that b***h for what she did.”, I yelled back and he sighed, saying, “She did nothing, Adira. She misunderstood me and thought her boyfriend was there.”

“Samrat, please.”, I made him quiet and suddenly he turned without a word. I looked at him blankly and suddenly a car came and bumped into him. I yelled, “Samrat.”

With that, I opened my eyes and found myself sitting in the plane and two air-hostesses were standing beside me.

“Ma’am, are you okay? What happened?”, one of them asked and I wiped my sweat, realizing it was a nightmare.

“Ohh s**t. I am so sorry. I had a nightmare.”, I spoke and the other one said, “It’s okay.”

“Please have some water ma’am.”, she offered water to me and I sipped it after saying, “Thank you.”

They left and I mouthed sorry to my fellow passengers and palmed my face in both hands.

“What the hell? Why now? Why am I suddenly dreaming about him?”, I thought, closing my eyes and resting my head back on the seat.

I looked at the boarding pass and thought in my mind, “I just hope I don’t regret my decision to go back.”

With that thought, I put a full stop to my thoughts and drifted into sleep again.

It was a long flight but I didn’t mind as long as I was meeting my only friend who stood by my side in a thick and thin situation. When I landed in Australia, the memories, the flashback of the past just came back, giving me goosebumps. I never wanted to comeback, but since now I have, there is no going back.

As soon as I got my luggage, my cellphone started ringing and I received it, “Hello?”

I heard my best friend’s brother from the other end and told him, “Yes, I am coming.”

Within a few minutes, I was sitting in the Audi of Tushar. Once we were settled, I asked him, “Tushar. How are you?”

“I am fit and feeble. How about you?”, He replied smilingly and I told him, “Awesome as always.”

I nodded and finally asked, “How is Sanaya doing?”

Suddenly he turned serious, making me worried and soon I heard him, “She is – she is not good. She tried committing suicide.”

“What?”I asked shockingly and he nodded. His eyes got teary and he started again, “Yes. She was in a relationship and that cumhole left her. She was in depression for a long time. Two days ago, when I came back from the office, I saw her lying lifeless on the floor.”

“We rushed her to the hospital and since then she is unconcisious.”, he continued, and it took me sometime to digest everything.

I consoled him, “She will be fine Tushar.”

“I hope so.”, he said and soon he declared, “Here we are.”

He parked the car in front of the hospital. We both went out and I took a long breath, remembering what this city Sydney have snatched from me.
