Page 111 of Wicked Trap

The contrast of it made her beyond pissed. He had known exactly how to trap her. With his simple lifestyle, delicious food and a sexy, arrogant smirk, the ruthless bastard knew exactly what he was doing.

And she had fallen into his trap easily.

I hate him!

She had to escape him somehow.

She was prepared for yet another blowout when Arjun, or rather Aryan Varma, came back. But the ruthless bastard didn’t come the next day. Instead, someone else came.

She knew it wasn’t Arjun. There was a tentative knock on the door. Even when she had known Arjun as her arrogant neighbor, he was never hesitant.

“Tanvi?” a familiar man’s voice called out. “May I come in?”

Tanvi was shocked.

“Come in,” she said.

The door to the bedroom opened, and she saw Sameer entering.

“Uh... hello, Tanvi. How are you? Mr. Varma... I mean... Arjun has sent me here to speak with you.”

Tanvi stared at Sameer in shock while he shifted uncomfortably with a guilt-ridden expression.

“My God,” she said. “You are a part of the ruthless bastard’s deception too?”

The guilt on his face grew. “I’m so sorry, Tanvi. I know you must be shocked and angry. But Mr. Varma did all this for a reason. He and his brothers had to—”

“Stop!” she cut him off. “I don’t care why the ruthless bastard deceived me. I want to know your role in it.”

Sameer’s face fell, and he became suddenly silent.

“Tell me, Sameer!” she demanded. “What was your role in this?”

He looked like he was about to throw up. “I-I... I had to trap you. Become close to you, and then... make you fall in love with me.”

She was stunned.

“But you moved into the apartments two months before he did. Did he ask you to trap me when he came into the apartment complex?”

Sameer shook his head. “No. I was sent there before. But when I couldn’t catch your attention for two months, Mr. Varma purchased the entire apartment complex and moved in as your immediate neighbor.”

The sheer length to which that ruthless bastard went to for trapping her shocked her.

All of this for a bloody mall and a few construction projects?

He was despicable.

“Why did he send you to me now?” she demanded. “Does he expect you to trap me even now too?”

“No. He sent me to keep you company until he returns.”

Where the hell did he go?

She was sure he was moving things at a faster pace for the mall construction. She didn’t believe him when he said he had no intention of destroying the City Central Park to build his mall.

He was a player who used lies and deception to lay a trap for her.
