What happens when two billionaire friends are ditched on their wedding? What happens when their brides run away? Murat and Manik are not going to let them go and their brides will try not to get caught.
LST International company was a very well known company in America. The company would work with different companies all over the world that's why many companies who wanted to be well known in the world of business, always try to gain that company's attention. That was the reason why it looked like a festival whenever the company announce their projects. Hundreds of company representatives or CEOs came there to show their ideas.
It's a long meeting that took place in town hall for days. Many businessmen could learn new things from the meetings like that so, the crowd was huge.
Manik Mehrotra, The CEO of MM Group of companies was not very keen to attend that meeting or summit conference that people called it. He did not bother himself to go there throughout the years. He only attended it few times before and after he took over the company. But he went there that year only to get away from his ever nagging mother who was hell bent on finding a bride for him.
As much as he knew, his mother already saw dozens of girls with beauty and wealthy family but she said none of them were worthy to be her daughter-in-law. He had no idea what she was looking for and he didn't even want to know.
Coming to the summit was a good excuse to get away from his mother for few days. He had another motive to go there as well. His friend was also coming and and it's been long since they last meet.
He got ready like a typical businessman and went to attend the summit conference. The hall was overflowing with aspiring businessmen. Manik mentally made a face knowing he did not want to be here but he was there for something else. He had a doubt for a long time and he wanted to be clear about it.
His assistant already confirmed about him accepting the invitation that was sent to his company. It's been few years that the company started to sent invitations to other successful companies. They said it's because they wanted to set a VIP sitting area for the invited guests but Manik always had his suspicion.
He crossed the sea of businessmen, fortunately everyone was too busy to notice. He found his seat and silently chuckled. First few tables had name tags on them and it was said to be the VIP area where anyone could come with or without name tags. It looked heck suspicious.
Soon the tables started to fill and he saw a helper there removed the name tag beside his and exchanged it with a very familiar name. Manik smirked and waited for him to come and grace the table. He did not have to wait much. Someone pulled the chair, making a sound that grabbed attention towards him and sat gracefully.
"The things, I do for you." That person said and Manik laughed without making any sound. His friend had no plan to come in the summit but came only because of him.
"Hello to you too, man." Manik said looking at him.
"We could have met in any place. I don't understand why you wanted to come here so much." Manik saw his friend looking around with a sour mood.
"I was confused about something. I have a theory and I want to see if it's true or not, Murat." Murat was surprised but his face lit up.
"Now, you are talking. Since you have a theory then I guess it will be interesting. Most of the time your theories are right so, let's see what happens to this one." Murat never accepted it in front of Manik but he low-key enjoyed Manik's theories. It helped them to see how sharp they were for a businessman and satisfy their narcissistic souls.
The summit soon started with the introduction of the company and their various successful projects in a slide show. Manik rolled his eyes at the show off and saw Murat frowning.
"Is it just me or those projects are not that good." Murat mumbled.
"Nope. Not at all. Stay silent and see more." They saw them starting the presentation for six new malls. After two and three presentations from different companies, they decided that they had enough. Both of them left the hall and they knew that they caught attention from everyone. They might have think them rude or disrespectful but they did not care.
"Gosh, what's with those presentations? All of them were low budget and compromised the quality. What's wrong with them?" Murat scowled when they entered in a restaurant.
Manik answered after they took their seats. "Just think, one of them will get the project. Total disaster!"
"Why such a big company is taking this kind of trash ideas? Only one thing is possible that LST is barely making anything." Murat said with a thoughtful expression.
"Exactly. I had my doubt for a while after seeing sudden invitations and the way company was trying so hard to keep their image. The moment formar CEO's son took over, the company started to went down. I bet they will lose the company in a few year."
They had their lunch peacefully and went back to the hotel. They decided to hit the club as it was long since they went there. First time they met when both came to America for higher studies. Instead of staying in a dorm, they actually shared a flat outside. From then, they were best friends. They both were serious type and they understood each other even if no words were exchanged.
Loud music was buzzing all over the lavish club. People were dancing crazily or flirting with others. But the billionaire friends duo were drinking and discussing business.
Many girls wearing small clothes, crossed them and gave them suggestive look but none of them looked towards those girls. They were not saint and had their share of women but they never encouraged desperate ones.
A few college students were near them to celebrate the birthday of their friend. They were playing Truth and Dare. Two girls got the dare to seduce the billionaires.
"Are you mad? Those are Murat Yilmaz and Manik Mehrotra! They probably will chew them alive!" One of the girl said in a worried voice. She had enough reasons to be worried. Even though the billionaires were not native but they were infamous for their ruthlessness and no nonsense attitude.
"We are not a coward like you and we want them to chew us. Who can refuse a hot night with those hot hunks?" the girls replied. They had the common misconception about themselves that nobody could resist them.
"They need to give their attention to you. Everyone failed till now. Poor you, your hot night will remain in your dream only." A boy mocked and all of them laughed.
The girls scowled, "Just wait and watch."
They went close to Murat-Manik and sat very close to them on the couch.
"Hey, we saw you two were sitting here from a very long time. You must be bored. By the way I am Rhea" One said to Murat.
"I am Ellie. If you want then we can have fun together." She bite her lips giving a lustful look.
Both Murat and Manik were irritated. Their eyes took in their short dresses. The girls thought that they were checking them out. Their confidence grew for that. Rhea started to touch Murat's Bicep and Ellie slided her hands on Manik's thigh.
"I didn't know that this club started to supply prostitutes." Manik threw away her hand.
"And coming to us when we didn't even ask for one." Murat too threw Rhea's hands. They were discussing a very important matter as they were expecting another revolution in the industry. They were discussing how they would survive it along with their companies when those girls interrupted them.
"Listen, we don't need any one of you. If we find someone worthy to take with us, we will do that ourselves." Manik said in a stern voice.
"Such desperation is a huge turn off and you both are not womanly enough. Go back, we don't do it with kids." Murat gave the final blow.
The girls were heavily insulted. They glared at the men. "You both are ăssholes!" Ellie cried out in anger.
"Mark my words, both of your brides will runaway. No body wants such jerk." Rhea too threw a tantrum.
"Thanks for the curse but do you really think if our brides will run away, we will let them go?" Murat asked raising his eye brows.
Manik smirked, "Not in a million years."
The girls stomped away angrily and Murat sighed. "Why everyone is talking about wedding and bride? Grandma is making me crazy because she want me to give her a grandkid. That girl could have curse us with anything but she too dragged our bride."
"My mother will have six to seven girls for me to see but then again she would say no those girls are not enough. Like she was the one who chose them, not me!" Manik leaned on the backrest. "We are only Twenty nine. I don't understand them at all."
"Good luck to us. We badly need it. Not that her curse will work on us but anyway." We made a toast and drank the night away.
After a three days refreshing trip both of them went back to their own countries. Manik went back to India, dreading his mother. He was looking at the share market statistics on his tab at the way of his home.
He was waiting at signal when he heard some voices. He looked out of the window and saw a girl yelling at someone.
"Why don't you people use your eyes? You damaged my scooter, you idiot! Get out of your car now."
But the man said something unintelligible and speed away. It fueled more in her anger. "Loser, why are you running away now? You look down on others just because you drive a car. You arrogant prick, you are so proud of your car but you will be in huge trouble because of that." The girl was shouting on top of her lungs.
Manik shook his head. That's why he hated the roads of India. Those scenes were regular and it was a never ending circle. Manik reached his house and went inside of it. The workers were busy as usual because of his mother. He saw his mother sitting on the couch with a serious look as if she was waiting for him only.
Manik sighed knowing what she was going to say and he had no interest to hear anything about his marriage.

"There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits. We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word. I watch his mouth move, I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached. "Where can I sign?"

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
