CHAPTER 70 Am I looking like a fool to you?
Diana sat in her office with the report of Tanvi in her hands. She is going through all the aspects of Tanvi in detail from her childhood to till date. While Diana is gazing, Tanvi’s love story with Dhruv attracted her.
Diana even got to know about her depression and the treatments she took for years. It seemed suspicious to her with the events that took place in her life at that time and ordered Farhan to dig in about their past love story.
“Let me find out about your past, Tanvi. I swear I will make your life miserable.”
Meanwhile, Rudra found out about Diana’s doing, “Huh. To how much length you will go, Diana? Do you have no shame?” Rudra mumbled in a dark tone.
“Do whatever you can. No matter what you do, you can not escape from my palms.” He clenched his fists with bloodshot eyes.
Rudra came to his cabin and sat in his chair while leaning his head on the headrest and dozed off.
Daniel Bhatt and Abhay Chauhan were good friends, so obviously Diana and Rudra knew about each other from their childhood. Diana always runs after Rudra, but he used to ignore her. Rudra hates noisy people, and she is very noisy during her childhood since she is four years younger than Rudra.
Somehow with her persistence, he started noticing her and used to talk with her while they were growing up. After knowing about Rudra, Diana used to like him a lot. According to Diana, Rudra is the perfect match for her, and she treated him like he was born for her.
Diana dreamed of only Rudra as her man and became so obsessed with him. Without her notice, she fell in love with Rudra, but Rudra never treated her with much importance.
In fact, he thought of her as just a mere friend. He spoke to her just because of his father, and later when he slowly noticed the changes in her behavior. He understood Diana’s feelings and bluntly pushed her aside.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Rudra is not the one to please others nor to care for others who did not hold much importance to him. He is very aloof with his intimidating and domineering aura, and it is no different with Diana.
Yet, she continuously tried to test her luck with Rudra because she is much too self-centered and thinks much highly of herself. She used to badger him, and he became annoyed with her presence. He no longer treated her as a friend but was just irritated with her company and cheap tricks to get acknowledged by him, but due to their father’s good relationship, he tolerated her.
One fine day, Diana gathered her courage and decided to confess her feelings to him when Rudra took over the company and immersed himself in building the Chauhan Group of Companies to rise.
Exactly, four years back, Diana managed to set up a date with him, but in reality, Rudra thought of it as a meeting. Rudra entered the hotel with his usual poise, and charm and got surprised by the decoration and surroundings.
He instantly understood her intentions but still decided to show some respect to her since she is about to take charge of Diana Industries. Rudra greeted her with fake politeness and sat in front of her.
Diana got fully dressed with thick makeup and is quite nervous, while he felt amused with the unfolding of the scene. Rudra is waiting for her to speak, but she is just wasting his time. “Look, Diana. I don’t have much time to sit like this. Are you going to speak, or else, I would leave?” He said with a frown of impatience, and his tone is no longer polite.
By seeing him losing his cool, she could not test his limits, which she is well aware of, and grasped all her courage. “Rudra! I wanted to tell this to you from many years but never got the courage to say them to you.”
Rudra glanced at her without any expression on his face, and she thought he is encouraging her. “I always wanted to be by your side. I only dreamed of you and only ran after you and for you, Rudra.” She is becoming emotional by recollecting all the things she had done.
“I always thought of you being my man, and only you are perfect to me. I want you, Rudra.” She gazed at him expectantly, and his face is still hostile but a few shades darker, yet she didn’t understand his hints and is blabbering. “I love you, Rudra. I want to be your wife and to partake in your life. To lie beside you always and to support you.” She finally blurted out after speaking for about 15 minutes.
Rudra glanced at her with complex emotions that she could not decipher. He pitied her, “See, Diana. I never have any such kind of feelings for you, and I never loved you, nor will I ever love you in the future. You better stop all your feelings on me, or else you will get hurt in the end.” He directly rejected her.
In fact, he wanted to go harsh on her but considering her as a family friend, so he decided to let go. Her face turned defeated with his slap-like rejection and left her no face. But how can Diana accept that with her pride and ego??
“Don’t bluff, Rudra. I know you also treated me this way. The only female you spoke with over the years is me. Now you are saying you don’t consider me like that. Am I looking like a fool to you?” She had gone overboard considering his lenience, but she is wrong.
Rudra glared at her with anger in his eyes, and she feared it. “How dare you talk to me like that? I just saw you as a family friend and gave you a little bit of respect, but it seems you don’t deserve it. Who the hell are you to think like that? Did I ever approach you in the first place? Did I ever treat you with affection? Forget about it, I hardly remember you. If not for your pestering, I would have forgotten you long ago. Your presence annoys me and irritates my mood. Don’t ever dream of me and get lost.” Rudra shouted at her and left that place.
She is a crying mess and still did not give up on him. She tried her best to get him, but poor Diana did not understand his words and assumed he would reconsider. Rudra is a straightforward man, and if he rejected anything, it means it no longer held any value to him.
After a few years, she became dejected, with his constant declination and mistreatment of her love. It is not his fault because he directly told her, yet she refused to accept it and blamed him.
The matter reached the older generation, but they could not go against Rudra’s will, which is not better for them since they knew the original cruel and Ruthless self of Rudra, who has no mercy and destroys anyone without slight bitterness.
He is a man of few words, and to converse with him freely itself a big task for his father from the incident of his mother’s death. Since he knew his carelessness cost her life, the only person Rudra treasured and loved with all his heart then. After he lost her mother, he became much cruel and heartless. He hid all his emotions and became a monster that the people feared.
Since Diana got the clarity that she can no longer have him directly, she decided to use indirect methods by attacking him. Diana thought, “If he lost everything, then out of no choice but to keep his pride and self-respect. He will approach me either with family connections. At least I will have him somehow.” She smirked with her brilliant thought but Is Rudra that easy to be defeated??
He is the top businessman who has complete control of everything, yet she decided to provoke him. Over the years, he just left a blind eye to her deeds because he thought them childish since her actions did not cause him much harm. But in the past few months, she completely underestimated her bounds and continuously challenged him, which he could not tolerate. Diana attacked him and now planning to target Tanvi.
“I will show you your place this time for sure, Diana.” He swore. “I can tolerate you deceiving me but not Tanvi. She is precious to me. If you target her and cause a bit of harm to Tanvi, then you will plead me for mercy. This time nothing can stop me from throwing you out of the throne.” Rudra slammed the table in front of him.
Rudra called Maahir to his cabin, “I want every update regarding Diana.” He ordered Maahir. “Okay, Boss.” Maahir nodded. “Also, how is it going with Teqware. Are you doing what I said?” Rudra questioned while scrunching his eyebrows.
“Yes, Boss. We are luring all the shareholders and buying the shares without his notice. He did not suspect anything so far.” Maahir said with determination in his voice. “Good, do this carefully. Don’t let him know about our plan. When the time comes, he will be bankrupt.” Rudra sneered dangerously.
